Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 78 Phone

Watching the car driving away, Lu Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk into the house. Now all the things at home have been arranged, except for telling Du Xiao to contact his comrades. He will be returning to Shenzhen tomorrow, so the matter of contacting people must be explained clearly today, otherwise he might forget it when he is in a hurry tomorrow.

"Brother Feng." Lu Shaohua walked into the living room and called to Du Xiaofeng. "Come with me."

"Okay." Du Xiaofeng stood up from the sofa and apologized to everyone. "I'll be gone for a while."

……

The living room on the second floor is a little smaller than the one on the first floor, but the layout is similar. Lu Shaohua pulled open the curtains and opened the window a little to allow more air to circulate.

"Sit down." After everything was done, Lu Shaohua took the lead and sat down on the sofa. Seeing Du Xiaofeng still standing there stupidly, he smiled. "I'm going back to Shenzhen tomorrow. Take some time to contact your comrades."

"Okay." Du Xiaofeng nodded and said.

Lu Shaohua didn't rush to speak. He thought for a while and still felt a little worried. He couldn't help but tell him again. "Brother Feng, you must find some trustworthy people."

"Yeah." Du Xiaofeng understood what Lu Shaohua meant. He just wanted to find some loyal people. "Don't worry."

"Well, then go ahead. We still need to load the truck later." Lu Shaohua felt that it would be better to let Du Xiaofeng and the others handle everything. Since they were their comrades-in-arms, they should know more about it and nothing would go wrong, so he didn't need to explain too much.

……

After Du Xiaofeng left, Lu Shaohua sat alone in the living room on the second floor, motionless, staring blankly at the sky outside the window. White clouds formed all kinds of strange patterns, moving slowly without wind, passing through Lu Shaohua's sight.

Watching the white clouds drift by and disappear, Lu Shaohua suddenly recalled a story.

One day, a frog was sitting in a well. A little bird flew over and landed on the edge of the well.

The frog asked the bird, "Where did you come from?"

The bird replied, "I came from far away. I flew over a hundred miles in the sky and I was thirsty, so I came down to get some water."

The frog said, "My friend, stop bragging! The sky is only as big as the wellhead. Do you really need to fly so far?"

The little bird said, "You are wrong. The sky is infinite and very big!"

The frog laughed and said, "Friend, I sit in the well every day, and I can see the sky whenever I look up. I can't be wrong."

The bird also laughed and said, "My friend, you are mistaken. If you don't believe me, jump out of the well and take a look."

'Sitting in a well and looking at the sky', yes, it is the story of sitting in a well and looking at the sky. It is indeed a bit like sitting in a well and looking at the sky. He sat on the sofa in the living room and looked outside, and the sky he saw was as big as a window.

"Did I think this world is too simple?" Lu Shaohua muttered to himself, and when he recalled the story of sitting in a well and looking at the sky, he naturally combined the matter with real life. Since he was reborn more than a year ago, he knew that lychees were easy to sell, so he sold lychees with his memory. Later, he collected 100 million US dollars and participated in the Black Monday. He suddenly had assets of more than billion. It can be said that his development was smooth. The result of everything going smoothly was that he thought things were too simple. Without a strong background, he wanted to have a qualitative development in China, and the success rate was almost zero.

"Hey! It's impossible for my uncle to climb to a high position in a short time." Lu Chang really couldn't climb to a high position in a short time. After all, in addition to political achievements, officialdom also pays attention to seniority. The so-called seniority refers to the length of time in office. No matter how many political achievements you have, there is no way to climb to a mayor or a municipal party committee secretary in just one or two years. You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

Since Lu Chang could not climb to a high position in a short time, Lu Shaohua had to find a backer first. Who should he find? Lu Shaohua carefully searched to see if there was anyone in his family who was an official, and he had to be in Shenzhen, because Shenzhen would be the focus of his future investment.

After much thought, the only option was to find Weng Wende's backer. Although the backer's official position was unknown at present, Lu Shaohua had already guessed that someone who could handle such a large project as Window of the World must hold a high position. "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll see when we meet."

……

Holding the redwood stair railing, he walked down to the first floor step by step. At this time, Lu Shaohua realized that it was already 2: in the afternoon. Only Chen Li was busy with housework at home. Everyone else had gone out, even Yang Jianlong.

"Mom," Lu Shaohua frowned when he saw that there was no one in the living room. "Are all the others out?

"Yes." Chen Li heard the voice and looked up to see that it was Lu Shaohua. "Even the brother from Hong Kong went with him, saying that he wanted to experience the scene."

"Then I'll go check it out too." He was about to walk towards the door, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Mom, do you think we can go to the house to get a phone?"

"Phone?" Chen Li was a little confused as to why Lu Shaohua suddenly remembered to use the phone. She asked in confusion, "What's the use of using a phone? I still have to pay for it every month."

Lu Jiayao was in charge of business matters, but Chen Li was in charge of family matters. Of course, Chen Li was also in charge of finances. In the final analysis, Lu Jiayao was a "tracheitis". So as long as Chen Li nodded, Lu Jiayao would not dare to interfere in the matter of making a phone call.

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua wanted to say, 'short hair, shallow knowledge,' but suddenly realized that the person standing opposite him was his mother, so he could only explain the benefits of the phone. "Mom, the phone has many uses. For example, we can call home and chat when we are away. Besides, we are about to open a branch now. If we are short of any fruit, we can just call and our family will know."

Chen Li nodded her head, but suddenly she remembered that she had to spend money, and she felt bad. "That costs money."

Lu Shaohua really didn't know what to say, he was speechless. Chen Li knew exactly how much money the family made now, and it wouldn't cost much to make a phone call! But after thinking about it, he understood. Chen Li was still living a poor life more than a year ago. Although the family is rich now, some habits and hearts are still hard to change. "Mom, is that little money still money? It's so convenient to make a phone call. Not only is it convenient to keep in touch, but it can also..."

Chen Li thought for a long time and felt that what Lu Shaohua said made sense. She was not stupid. It would be much more convenient to do business if the phone was connected to her home. Besides, Lu Shaohua was about to leave home, and occasionally calling home would let her know if he was doing well. "Okay, let's just pull one."

Seeing Chen Li agreed, Lu Shaohua realized that his mouth was dry, so he picked up the cup and poured two glasses of water buffalo to drink, and then said contentedly: "Then I'll go to the telecommunications company and ask someone to connect it."

"Yeah." Chen Li nodded, but seeing Lu Shaohua hurriedly running out of the house, she couldn't help but shout at his back: "Be careful, don't fall."

Unfortunately, Lu Shaohua couldn't hear Chen Li's voice. He traveled through mountains and rivers and finally arrived at the fruit loading area. He pulled Chen Guobang and headed towards home. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. If he didn't hurry up, he might not be able to pull the car today. After all, it was getting late. It was possible to delay it until tomorrow, but if he delayed it, who knows how long he would have to wait.

……

The car stopped at the door of the telecommunications bureau. Lu Shaohua walked ahead, followed closely by Chen Guobang.

The person who received Lu Shaohua was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He was neatly dressed, with a high nose bridge and a pair of black-framed glasses. It was obvious that he was an intellectual. There was a small work badge hanging on his chest with the three words "Li Rulong" written on it.

Li Rulong saw that it was Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang who came in. He first glanced at Chen Guobang, and then turned his gaze to Lu Shaohua. However, when he saw him, his face was immediately filled with smiles. "Haha! Little genius, little prodigy, rare guest, rare guest."

Lu Shaohua broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that someone in the Telecommunications Bureau knew him. But it would be much easier if someone in the Telecommunications Bureau knew him. He smiled. "Hello! Do you know me?"

"Haha, my family lives in the next village, so of course I know you. Now all the fruits we grow are sold to your family..." I don't know if Li Rulong was trying to show off his eloquence or something, but he kept talking.

Lu Shaohua did not interrupt him, and nodded from time to time to show that he was listening, but he could only listen to the first few sentences, and he was confused after that. When Li Ruyou finished speaking in one breath, Lu Shaohua told him the purpose of coming to the telecommunications bureau. "Uncle Li, my family wants to make a phone call, can you help me?"

"Hmm?" Li Rulong looked at Lu Shaohua with suspicion for a while, and found that he was not joking. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I'll help you pull it, but you have to pay first."

"Haha." Lu Shaohua thought it was something else. "That's no problem. How much does it cost? I'll pay it now."

……

After paying the money, Li Rulong was ready to follow Lu Shaohua on his bicycle with a tool bag on his back, but was stopped by Lu Shaohua. "Uncle Li, I have a car, let's go."

After hearing what Lu Shaohua said, Li Rulong saw a car parked at the door.

……

The car arrived home soon, and Li Rulong also started to connect the line. He worked for a whole hour to lay the telephone line. After laying the line and debugging everything, Li Rulong said to Lu Shaohua: "The phone will not be opened until tomorrow. By then, the bureau will call you to let you know the phone number."

"Okay, haha." Lu Shaohua nodded. He also understood that this era is different from the past. You can choose your own phone number. "Uncle Li, stay at our house for dinner."

"Haha, no need. My home is in the next village. I have to go back." Li Rulong also knew that Lu Shaohua was being polite, so he would stay if Lu Shaohua asked him to.

"Okay, then walk slowly."

"Well, see you later."
