Chapter 128 It's such a waste



More than half a month later, the telephone line from the county town to Xiaba Village was finally installed.

This is also thanks to the help of Qin Qiulan's aunt, otherwise the county post and telecommunications bureau would not have wanted to come because it was too far.

Now with the instructions from above, the speed of the telephone line rack is extremely fast.

Today the person who installed the telephone came here specially to install the telephone for the farm.

Song Chu also asked her to help install one at her house, of course, the expenses would be borne by her family alone.

This is also due to the consideration that she may have to leave the farm soon. It is impossible to ask the people at the farm to go to her house and call her every time someone looks for her. It would be too troublesome.

The people at the Post and Telecommunications Department knew that it was Song Chu who asked people in the province to speak up for them, and that was how they were able to successfully install the telephone line, so they didn't refuse. After all, installing it in one place is the same as installing it in two places.

When people heard that the farm was going to install a telephone, everyone in the village couldn't help but come and join in the fun.

Except for a few village cadres such as Tang Min, other villagers had never seen a telephone in their lives, so they came to see it with their own eyes.

Song Chu didn't chase them away, but let them watch freely. It is the nature of many people to like to join in the fun.

It took more than an hour to install the two telephones in the office.

"This is the phone! I heard that I can call from this end and talk to the person on the other end."

"Yeah, this thing is amazing."

"Chuchu is really capable. In the past, only the commune had telephones here, but now our village is definitely the only one."

"Yes, people from other villages heard that our village had installed telephone lines and that the farm was going to install telephones. They were so envious."

"Haha, Chuchu is bringing honor to our village." The villagers were extremely proud when they talked about this.

Seeing that the phone was installed, everyone couldn't help but shout, "Chu Chu, try making a call."

"Yes, let us see it too." Everyone had only heard of the existence of the telephone before, but had never heard it with their own ears.

Song Chu was quite tolerant of the villagers. She waved to Gu Yue and said, "Comrade Gu, come and call your cousin. Let everyone hear if the call goes through."

She did have a few numbers, but they weren't suitable for casual chatting.

Gu Yue looked helpless, but still let her make a fuss.

He walked over and dialed Huo Kai's office number.

The call was connected soon.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

It happened to be Huo Kai who answered the phone. Gu Yue said, "Cousin, this is Gu Yue. Our village installed a telephone today, so I called to see if it works."

Huo Kai had heard that the farm was going to install a telephone, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. "This is too efficient."

"What's the number? I'll write it down so it will be much more convenient to find you next time." Huo Kai hurriedly went to get a pen and paper.

Gu Yue asked the person who installed the phone and gave him the number.

Song Chu pulled his sleeve from the side and said, "Let Comrade Huo speak for the villagers to hear."

Gu Yue could only convey Song Chu's meaning.

Although Huo Kai looks stern, he is actually very easy to talk to people he knows, so he agreed directly.

Gu Yue held the phone and pointed it at the villagers at the door. Song Chu shouted, "Comrade Huo, you can talk now."

Huo Kai's voice came from the receiver, "Hello, folks."

The soundproofing effect of today's telephones is not very good to begin with, and Huo Kai's voice was quite loud, so the villagers crowded at the door could hear it.

Everyone shouted excitedly, "Hello, Comrade Huo."

The villagers couldn't understand such technology, but that didn't affect their excitement.

Gu Yue casually said something to Huo Kai and hung up.

Then Song Chu took the installer to his home to install it.

The villagers went to Song Chu's house to join in the fun.

Song Chu also told everyone in advance that the installation of the telephone at her home was at her own expense, while the one at the farm was at public expense.

Seeing this, the people in the village committee couldn't help but want to install one, but when they heard that it would cost several thousand yuan, they couldn't help but smack their lips and didn't want to install it.

Song Chu also told them that if they needed to use the phone in the future, they could go to the farm, and they felt relieved.

At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh that these several thousand dollars could build a brick house, and the Song family was really generous.

To be precise, it was Song Chu who was too willing to spend. Since knowing that it would cost several thousand dollars to install a telephone, everyone in the Song family, including Tang Feng, felt reluctant to spend the money as if they were cutting off their own flesh and blood.

Then Song Chu told everyone about how he had dug up Ganoderma lucidum and some medicinal herbs and sold them for several thousand dollars. He also tried to trick everyone into agreeing with reluctance.

Now seeing everyone's envious praises, although Tang Feng and others are still feeling the pain, they also feel extremely proud and honored.

"Your Chuchu is really capable."

"Your family is really generous. A brick house is just gone like that." The villagers also heard how much it would cost to install a telephone.

They thought it was acceptable to decorate the farm, but they thought it was too wasteful to decorate the Song family home.

Tang Feng's heart was bleeding, but she smiled and said, "It's my Chuchu. Not only does she know so many factory directors and managers in the county, she also knows friends in the provincial capital. If I install a phone at home, it will be convenient for people to contact her when they have something to do."

"If something good happens, it will be more convenient for the village and you. Our Chuchu is very conscious, and I can't hold her back."

They did not tell anyone else that they had sold Ganoderma lucidum and medicinal herbs. After all, this is speculation and it would be bad if it got out and someone reported them.

So the unanimous consensus was that Tang Feng took out all the family savings.

After hearing what she said, the envious people in the village agreed: "Chu Chu is so conscious, no one in our village can compare to her."

How can he be so capable and know such powerful people in the provincial capital?

They had heard from the telephone installer that the reason they installed the telephone line to the village was because Song Chu knew someone at the county post and telecommunications bureau and had made the call.

Everyone knew that she knew the leaders of a large factory in the county town, but no one expected that she would meet another big shot as soon as she arrived in the provincial capital.

So it’s reasonable for Chuchu to spend whatever she wants to go to the provincial capital, because she is so capable.

After the telephone in Song Chu's house was installed, Tang Feng took the villagers away.

Song Chuze called Qin Qiulan. They had exchanged letters twice recently. The other party emphasized that she must call to tell the number after the phone was installed.

Today happened to be Qin Qiulan's rest time, and the call was quickly connected.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Song Chu recognized her voice immediately and chuckled, "Girl, my phone is installed."

Qin Qiulan also recognized Song Chu's voice and shouted excitedly: "Chu Chu, it's you!"

"Yes, it's me." Song Chu said with a smile, "I was able to install the phone so quickly thanks to your help. I'll treat you to a meal next time I come to the provincial capital."

Qin Qiulan smiled and said, "Okay, then when will you come to the provincial capital? I miss you."
