1987: Sleepless Tonight

Su Jin answered the phone.

She is at home right now.

Hearing Nini's voice, she smiled and cooperated with the little girl's performance, "Oh, it's so hard to guess. How could I guess it? I can't see anyone through the phone."

"You can listen to the voice." Nini made a very good suggestion.

Lu Hao laughed while listening.

The little girl didn't know that she had been exposed long ago.

"Then let me take a guess, it's Lu Hao, right?" Su Jin said.

"No, guess again." Nini giggled, "I'm a girl, not a boy."

There is a new game, the little girl is very happy.

I used to catch ants on the ground and play with mud, but now I not only watch TV, but also make phone calls.

Su Jin said deliberately again, "It's Su Min."

"No, auntie, you are so stupid." Nini was a little contemptuous, "They all said that going to college is so difficult, if you can go to college like this, I will definitely be able to go to college in the future."

"I see, it's Nini." Su Jin glanced at the time, the phone bill was expensive, and she didn't dare to talk too much.

"I guessed it right this time." Nini finally said.

She exhaled lightly, as if she was also worried for Su Jin.

It's hard to deal with such a stupid little aunt at the booth.

On the other hand, Su Min took the microphone and asked directly, "Xiao Jin, are parents around?"

"Here, what's the matter? Second sister, what's the matter?" Su Jin thought that there was something important, so Su Min made this call.

It’s not easy to make a phone call. You have to go to someone who has a landline to borrow a call. You always go. Even if you pay, sometimes it’s annoying. In some places, there are small shops that can provide landline calls, but it’s not very convenient because you have to wait in line. There were a lot of people calling, and the people behind me kept urging me without saying a few words.

"It's nothing important, it's just that your brother-in-law just sent someone to install a landline, so he called home and said, Mom and Dad are by the side, so you can ask Mom to take a piece of paper and write down the number. What's the matter in the future?" Just call this number." Su Min said.

She said it beautifully.

In fact, it is enough for Su Jin to write it down, there is no need for Wang Guizhi to take paper notes alone, just a few numbers, even if there is no pen and paper, he can write it down, or else, putting down the microphone and running over to get it is much faster than sending a message.

At the home here, Wang Guizhi happened to come over too. Seeing Su Jin who had already picked up the receiver and talked for a long time, he said angrily, "Who are you calling? You haven't hung up for so long, don't you want money?"

"Mom, it's the second sister." Su Jin turned her head, "Go get a piece of paper and write down the number."

"What's there to remember? She called from someone else's landline, so don't bother." Wang Guizhi waved his hand.

"No, the second brother-in-law installed a landline at home. Just now, the second sister called and asked us to write down the number. If there is anything to do in the future, just call this number." Su Jin said hurriedly.

She is also very happy.

The second brother-in-law is really capable. The home has an air conditioner, a color TV, and a refrigerator, and now it has a landline.

You never know when you will buy a house.

Wang Guizhi was stunned, even Su Xingmin, who was reading the newspaper, looked up and looked over, obviously not thinking about the newspaper, and focused on listening to the conversation here.

"He bought a landline? Are you talking nonsense? The installation fee for a landline is 1000 yuan, and there is also a monthly rent, which has to be paid every month. How can his family afford it?" Wang Guizhi couldn't help it. Too much faith.

After installing this landline at home, she feels very distressed. Even if the factory reimburses part of the expenses, she still takes the bulk of the money. There is still a monthly rent of more than ten yuan, which has to be paid every month.

She wipes this machine every day to keep it spotless.

Not wiping landlines, but wiping money!

"It's more than that now. When we pretended it was 1000 yuan, but now I heard it will cost 1500 yuan." At this time, Su Xingmin interjected.

He was also secretly surprised. .seven

As a son-in-law, Lu Hao, he also had hope at the beginning, but he was disappointed afterwards. He ate, drank, whored and gambled, and ignored his wife and daughter and only cared about his own enjoyment. He was a jerk.

He didn't even want to mention having such a son-in-law.

Too embarrassing.

But recently, some changes seem to have taken place. The first few times we met, in terms of conversation alone, it is completely different from before, and there is a sense of self-confidence in speaking and doing things.

Really developed suddenly?

Landlines are not something ordinary people can afford to install. There are not many people who have formal jobs in the factory. The initial installation fee is a high cost, and the monthly rent is also a very large expense.

He pretended it himself because he was a mid-to-upper-level cadre in the beverage factory, had some savings, and was able to reimburse a small part of it, so he pretended.

And as an upper-middle-level cadre, it is also necessary to install a landline.

You have to hold your face up.

"How can this be a lie? Last time I went to my second brother-in-law's house, they still have air conditioners, refrigerators, and TV sets. Didn't I tell you about it?" Su Jin said, "Mom, don't ask, Hurry up and take the pen over and write down the number, if you don't believe me, when you go to the second brother-in-law's house, you will know it?"

Wang Guizhi went to get a pen and paper, wrote down Su Jinbao's number, and muttered, "It's no wonder that his family can afford a landline. Color TV, air conditioner, and TV are even more nonsense."

"I installed a landline at home, because your father is a cadre, and he often has entertainment, and someone is looking for it. It is convenient to have a landline. What is the use of him installing a landline? There is no reason."

Su Jin didn't answer.

She loves to talk and talk, she knows that as long as she continues to complain, she will definitely attract another complaint.

"It's going to be 3 minutes soon, let's not talk, your brother-in-law asked you to come over, and let's go shopping together later." Su Min checked the time and pinched it.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Su Jin happily agreed.

The phone hangs up, just stuck at 2 minutes and 50 seconds.

Lu Hao, Su Min, and Nini went downstairs and rode bicycles in the yard.

After waiting for a while, Su Jin arrived.

Wearing a ponytail, wearing a small floral dress, and sandals on his feet, he rushed into the yard like a gust of wind.

As soon as she came over, she picked up Nini and kissed her face fiercely, "Nini, when you called just now, did you dislike auntie and think auntie is stupid?"

"Auntie, why are you like Dad? The faces of the people you kissed were all drool, and Dad kissed me just now." Nini stretched out her hand to wipe her face, feeling a little disgusted.

How embarrassing to see so many people watching, including friends?

Su Jin was stunned, looked at Nini's face, then at Lu Hao who was riding a bicycle and leading Su Min around, his face suddenly turned red.

Putting down Nini, she didn't speak for a long time, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

"He came here? His face turned red like a monkey's butt." Lu Hao asked in surprise when the bicycle stopped in front of her.
