Before entering the house, Su Qinghu felt excited when he heard the noise inside.
I looked around, but didn't see anything special, nor did I see the pure white telephone line...
Is she overthinking it?
When I opened the door, I saw several people in telephone bureau uniforms chatting and laughing with Chen Lie in the yard. Their hearty laughter brightened everyone's mood.
Chen Lie met Su Qinghu's smiling eyes and said, "It's ready."
"So soon?" Su Qinghu walked in with a smile, nodded to the worker at the telephone bureau, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then continued, "I saw there were no telephone lines coming in from outside, so I thought..."
She hadn't finished her words, but her meaning was clear.
"The telephone line will age easily if it's exposed outside for a long time." Chen Lie reached out to take her bag. Su Qinghu was stunned for a moment, but gave it to him reluctantly. She had to give him some face in public.
Chen Lie took the package and said, "I planned the route and installation plan. They analyzed it and found no problems, so they installed it according to my instructions."
For this reason, the telephone line was a bit wasted and was a few meters longer than the installation plan of the telephone company.
"You also know this?" Su Qinghu was surprised. He followed the direction of the display and found the location of the telephone line.
The person at the telephone office looked at Su Qinghu with a smile, and even called her sister-in-law. Su Qinghu turned her head and said, "You guys——"
Are they all Chen Lie’s comrades-in-arms?
The meaning in her eyes was so easy to discern that the group of people laughed and nodded.
Su Qinghu ordered it directly, "It's time to get off work now, you shouldn't be in a hurry to go back, let's go to a restaurant!"
As he spoke, he called out to Dadan and Erdan, who were gathered around the phone, "Dadan and Erdan, pack up and go out for dinner."
Then, without waiting for the group to say anything, he walked straight to a room with not much light but good ventilation, and came out with a bottle of Moutai in his hand.
Everyone: “!!!”
Chen Lie was surprised, but he didn't ask directly and took the wine in his hand.
The man was holding a lady's bag in one hand and a glass of white wine in the other, which looked a bit out of place, but he himself didn't think there was anything wrong.
After the two children came out, he closed the door and went straight to the restaurant with his men.
Seeing that everyone was embarrassed to order food, and even if they ordered food, they would only look for cheap ones, Su Qinghu took over the task of ordering food. He ordered a lot of meat dishes, which made people feel scared.
This meal...I'm afraid it will cost a month's salary!
Several people stopped Su Qinghu and told her not to order anymore, but Erdan said, "Everyone, just eat in peace. My mom has money, and my brother and I have money too."
He and his brother still have one thousand yuan deposited with their mother.
They both have a thousand yuan, so his mother definitely can't have less than them, right?
But, hehe, their financial situation cannot be exposed, so just say that they have money to treat us to a meal.
After being pinched by his brother, he continued, "My mom performed very well at work last month and received a lot of bonuses and travel allowances."
The few people who had retired from the army and transferred to the telephone bureau finally felt relieved. Chen Lie opened the wine, filled it up for everyone one by one, said a few words of thanks, and drank a glass himself first.
After he finished a glass and livened up the atmosphere, he stopped drinking and started drinking tea like Su Qinghu.
The young boy Dadan sat quietly eating, while Erdan ate and occasionally chatted with them happily.
The meal was a great pleasure for all the guests.
Four or five people shared a bottle of wine, so each person didn't actually get much. Seeing that their eyes were clear and their words were not stammering, Su Qinghu didn't ask Chen Lie to see them off.
Watching them leave, Su Qinghu nodded with relief. Well, very good, they are walking in a straight line and steadily.
Only after they had gone far away and disappeared did Su Qinghu and Chen Lie take their two children home.
"Don't you say that even if you pay the initial installation fee, you still have to wait for at least a few months?" Su Qinghu asked Chen Lie as they got out of the car and walked home.
Chen Lie's hands were held by the children, one on each side. He tilted his head slightly towards Su Qinghu and said, "We already have a switch here. Just pull the line over."
Su Qinghu tilted her head to think about it, then nodded. She had indeed seen the pulled-out telephone wires before, but they were somewhat messy, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were flying wires in the air.
But I didn’t wait that long and still used my connections.
"The initial installation fee, installation fee, prepaid phone bill and monthly rent cost a total of 3,980 yuan. I didn't take the remaining 20 yuan and gave it to them," said Chen Lie.
Su Qinghu nodded.
They may not consider this as a favor, so it is unknown whether the favor can be repaid in the future, but it is very likely that this is the case.
So, if we give them the remaining twenty yuan, each of them can get four or five yuan, which should be enough to buy cigarettes and alcohol.
"Have you called your parents?" Su Qinghu finally remembered and asked Chen Lie.
Before Chen Lie could even open his mouth, Erdan answered, "Yes! Dad called Grandpa and Grandma first."
It's amazing. When they dial the number here, they can hear the voice on the other end at home, and it's very clear!
"Then when you go to school tomorrow, remember to leave our home phone number for your class teacher." Su Qinghu said casually.
Erdan's happy expression froze in an instant.
If we give the teacher their phone number, then the teacher can call his mother anytime and anywhere to tell on them?!
fall!
There is no benefit in installing a telephone!
Su Qinghu didn't hear him speak, so she looked at him. Unable to see his expression clearly, she thought for a moment and then sneered, "Why, are you afraid that the teacher will tell me about your performance?"
"No!" Erdan denied flatly, "I'm a good student. The teacher never worries about me."
The only thing I'm worried about is that he's forming cliques, but wasn't this issue resolved long ago?
So, the teacher has nothing to worry about him.
In other words, he makes the teacher feel at ease...
After comforting himself, Erdan sighed softly, "Tomorrow, I'll go over and tell the teacher early tomorrow morning."
He has to behave better and not let the teacher catch him and tell his mother about it!
"Dadan, and you too." Su Qinghu called out their names. "Tell the teacher that you can contact me at my workplace or my home."
Dadan answered swiftly, "Yeah."
He had nothing to hide from others, so he could just tell the teacher his phone number.
Chen Lie had not thought about this before, but after Su Qinghu reminded the two children, he realized how rough he was in raising his children.
At night, the two of them still slept separately. As for the situation of rolling in your arms all night long, opening your eyes shyly, and looking at each other timidly, it didn't exist at all with Su Qinghu's good sleeping posture.
She went to work as usual in the morning. When she got off work in the afternoon, Su Qinghu walked out of the office gate and saw Cai Huayang waving at her.
Su Qinghu was about to walk over, but she stopped immediately when she saw a flash of light out of the corner of her eye.
