1987: Sleepless Tonight

Passing by the gate of the community courtyard, Lu Hao looked over at the muddy ground, and finally understood what Nini meant by finally catching a live one.

A pile of crushed ants on the ground.

this girl...

Only 5 years old.

Still a girl.

How did this happen?

"Honey, you're awesome." Su Min gave Lu Hao a thumbs up.

Wang Mingde and his son left the vegetable market early, and many people knew that Lu Hao had photographed the remaining 13 stalls.

Su Min also knew.

She knows how big the vegetable market is, and has been there many times. A stall is 100 square meters, and there are a total of 20 stalls, all of which are now owned by her husband.

It's like a dream.

She pinched her leg, it hurt.

Marrying this man never thought that there would be such a day when he could rent such a large area for business. He was really fulfilling his promise to make her a little rich woman and his daughter a little princess.

"I like to hear this, please say more in the future." Lu Hao made a request.

"You like to listen, I'll praise you more from now on, it doesn't take much trouble." Su Min suddenly felt sorry for her man.

His requirements are so low, as long as he says he is great, is he not good enough for him?

Lu Hao coughed, stopped discussing this topic in front of outsiders, and introduced the person next to Su Min, "This is Master Li, from the post and telecommunications office. Come and install a landline for our home."

"To install a landline?" Su Min was surprised.

The landline is also considered a luxury. There are not many companies in the community who install it, but the canteen downstairs installs it. But it is also mainly for business. In the past, it was charged for making calls, and no one else installed it.

Even Xu Yuanpeng and Liu Yan did not install it in their homes. They would rather buy an air conditioner than a landline, because it is a non-essential item. There is no problem without a landline in summer, but it is too hot without an air conditioner.

"Dad, from now on, if you are in the supermarket and I am at home, can I call you?" Nini tilted her head and looked at Lu Hao.

"Yes." Lu Hao nodded, "In the future, if you want your father, you can call your father. You can also call your aunt. My aunt is on summer vacation and she is at home. You can invite her to come and play."

Passing by the courtyard, people kept saying hello to Lu Hao.

"Boss Lu is back?"

"have you eaten?"

"This is Master Li from the Post Office, right? I came here to install a landline for Lao Huang's canteen before. How much does it cost to install a landline now? Is it still 1000 yuan?" Someone recognized Master Li.

Lao Huang, the owner of the canteen, installed the landline a few years ago, and the initial installation fee was 1000 yuan.

"It's not 1000. It was the price of the previous two years. It has gone up a long time ago. Now it costs 1500 to install a landline." Master Li was also talkative and replied.

"It's so expensive, isn't it a robbery? It costs money to install a landline, and you have to charge another fee to make a phone call. It's worth 1500 for such a small thing. Who can afford it?" Some people were not angry.

It takes several years of salary to buy such a big thing, and the key is to charge separately every time you call after the installation is completed.

"How can I decide on this matter? I also want to not charge." Master Li called Qu, "If there is no charge, or it is cheaper, I will also install one in my house. It was 1000 in the first two years, and 1500 this year. After a while It’s still going to go up, even up to 2000.”

Landlines are so expensive, in fact, it’s a question of equalization. Telephone construction requires funds, and fewer people install it, so the cost per person will be more. If more people install it, everyone’s share will be less, and the cost will be reduced.

In the final analysis, the post office has no money, so users have to bear part of the cost.

As more people install, the initial installation fee for landlines will drop.

The rarer it is, the more expensive it is, not only gold, but other items as well.

Even if it's a pile of shit, less is worth money.

"Boss Lu is really rich. You are the second home in the community to install a landline." A neighbor lamented.

"It should be the first one. Lao Huang's canteen installs landlines. He is doing business, and Lu Hao is for his own use. It's different." Someone immediately said.

"Boss Lu, you have installed a landline. We need to make calls in the future. Can you call us for free when we go to your house?" Someone who likes to be petty and cheap asked loudly.

This is a difficult question to answer.

If you agree, there will be people in the house every day, which will be very annoying. If you don't agree, you will be neighbors in the neighborhood. It would be unkind to directly refuse.

Lu Hao looked at the person who asked this question and recognized him. This person was called Wang Can, and Liu Yan and Xu Yuanpeng stood beside him.

These stinky pieces of shit are everywhere.

They must have instigated the question.

Lu Hao turned to him and said, "Wang Can, do you have any grudges against Lao Huang? He sold fake cigarettes or fake wine to you. Are you going to target him like this? He does business quite well, don't Discredit him. If I don't charge money and let everyone come over, won't that make Lao Huang lose his business? It costs thousands of dollars to install a landline, and he may not even earn back his capital. I will call the big guy for free Call, you pay him 1000 yuan?"

Lu Hao directly turned back.

Lao Huang at the canteen had already pricked up his ears to listen to the answer here. Seeing what Lu Hao said, he was greatly relieved. If Lu Hao really wanted to call the big guy for free, or reduce the price, his business would definitely be affected. Years to earn a lot less money.

He was very grateful to Lu Hao, and then pointed at Wang Can and scolded, "Did I dig your ancestral grave, or did I sleep with your mother-in-law? Are you going to target me like this? Every time I come to buy something, don't I give you a change and return it to you?" Credit, shitty thing!"

When other neighbors heard about it, they also accused Wang Can one after another.

"It's not really a thing."

"If you really want to call for free, aren't you offending Lu Hao?"

"I know it's not kind to take advantage of it."

Poor Wang Can, he was originally conveying the words of Liu Yan and Xu Yuanpeng, but he never expected to be scolded by all the neighbors in the neighborhood, and all the spittle stars flew towards him.

He was so angry that he said to Xu Yuanpeng and Liu Yan, who were beside him, "It's you two. If you hadn't fooled me, how could I have been scolded by so many people? Next time, don't ask me for something like this, I will be used like a fool by you. "

broken.

Looking at Lu Hao, Liu Yan felt sore in her heart, "It can be said that I didn't fall for it like this. How come there is such a person in the garment factory? I didn't see it at all before. Could it be that he was just pretending to eat, drink, and gamble?"

Xu Yuanpeng sighed, and he looked at Liu Yan, "You don't know, when I saw the factory manager just now, his face was terribly ugly, and when I mentioned the word Lu Hao, he became impatient. Although he was scolding Lu Hao, he could It can be heard that he is somewhat afraid of Lu Hao."

A bastard is not only rich, but even the factory manager is afraid of him.

He is jealous.

Master Li is an old employee who is familiar with installing landlines. He drank a bottle of iced soda delivered by Lu Hao and worked very hard. He quickly installed the landline, debugged it on the spot, and taught how to use it.

After sending Master Li away, Lu Hao went back to the house, and Nini suddenly ran over to complain, "Dad, Mom hit me, and she didn't let me call my aunt."
