"Where did mom hit you? Let me see." Lu Hao looked around and found no injuries on Nini.

Not even a red mark.

"Here." Nini stuck her butt out, turned sideways, and showed Lu Hao with her fingers.

A look of grievance.

"It hurts."

Su Min said angrily, "I patted her gently with my hand and told her not to move around. She wanted to try everything. She wanted to turn on the air conditioner, the TV, and the refrigerator. They all had electricity. It was very dangerous.

.”

A child of four or five years old is too old for a dog.

I don't understand anything, but I am very curious about everything. Not to mention touching it with my hands, it is possible to put it on my lips.

"Mom just patted her gently. It didn't hurt. Nini is a man and very brave. She didn't cry when she fell outside just now. She won't cry now, okay?" Lu Hao held her hand.

, went to sit by the bed.

The landline phone is placed on the cabinet next to it.

Although this home is small, it has all the necessary features.

Air conditioning, refrigerator, TV, and landline are all available.

"Nini's body doesn't hurt, but Nini's heart hurts," Nini said.

Such cleverness.

She also looked at Su Min, as if she wanted Su Min to apologize to her.

"Okay, mom won't hit you. Mom is wrong." Su Min coaxed her, "But you can't touch the phone. It costs 1,500 yuan. It's very expensive. If it's broken, it falls to the ground and you can't make calls."

"It's not that expensive." Lu Hao said with a smile, "It's just that the initial installation fee is a little more expensive. If the parts break, just replace them. It doesn't cost a lot of money."

The initial installation fee is a one-time fee, which is to share the cost of telephone construction of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and is not the cost of the landline itself.

For example, a handset can be replaced for three to four yuan, while separate bells and sockets are even cheaper and can be replaced for just one yuan.

"How much does a phone call cost?" Su Min asked.

"City calls in the city are recorded every 3 minutes and cost 4 cents each time. Domestic long distance is more complicated. There are 13 levels according to the distance, from level 1 to level 13. Level 1 is within 25 kilometers and costs 5 cents.

, the second level is 25 to 50 kilometers, 1 cent, the third level is 50 to 100 kilometers, 2 cents, the middle ones will not be mentioned, the most expensive is the 13th level, more than 2,000 kilometers, 1 yuan and 2 cents

money."

"By the way, there is also a monthly fee, which is 12 yuan per month."

"With so many fees, why do you have to pay for everything?" Su Min was surprised.

She rarely makes phone calls, and her head is filled with confusion. How come she charges for everything, including initial installation fees, local phone calls, long-distance phone calls, and monthly rental fees?

"It's a bit complicated, but it's still cheap. Ours is a residential phone, so the monthly fee is 3 yuan lower. For phones other than residential, such as phones in factory offices, the monthly fee is 15 yuan." Lu Haodao

.

In fact, the kind he is talking about is a monthly rental fee, and the other is a monthly rental fee based on times. The basic monthly rental fee is 2 yuan cheaper per month. It is 10 yuan a month, and the basic number of calls is 60 times.

, if the amount exceeds the limit, it will be charged separately, which is also 4 cents each time.

The difference between the two is actually not that big.

Lu Hao knew these things when he installed a landline phone in the supermarket last time, and he still generally remembers them.

Speaking of this, he reminded, "However, the billing method for domestic long-distance calls is different from that of local calls. In-city calls are charged every 3 minutes, while domestic long-distance calls are billed according to the actual call time, and are billed per minute.

Anything less than one minute will be counted as one minute."

He was afraid that Su Min wouldn't understand, so he put it more plainly, "Local calls cost 4 cents within 3 minutes. If it exceeds 3 minutes, you need to calculate the cost again. If it takes less than 6 minutes, it costs 8 cents. Domestic long distance calls cost 1 minute."

.”

The billing times for local and long-distance calls are different. This is easy to understand. The cost of long-distance calls is high, so the billing time is short and every minute is billed. However, the cost of local calls is low and the billing time is slightly longer. 3

minute.

"But the last time I asked them, they said that long-distance charges may change in the near future and the prices will increase. The first-level charge will not be 5 cents, but will be adjusted to 1 cent. The second-level charge will be adjusted from 1 cent to 10 cents.

2 cents.”

Prices are rising, and you can see it from all sides.

There are several main reasons. Banks release water and inject large amounts of funds into the society. This is one aspect. The other is that many companies implement a dual-track price system.

The products in the plan will still have the original price, and the company cannot set the price independently. However, if the company completes the tasks in the plan and has remaining products, the company can set the price independently.

The prices of most planned products are relatively low. In fact, this is not in line with market rules. The company has been losing money. The state has always been under pressure and under pressure. Once the price is relaxed, even some products will be left to the company.

Pricing, the price will definitely have to go up.

What is slowly liberalizing its independent pricing power is product sources and raw materials, and prices will also be liberalized.

In other words, costs are also rising.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if prices in the entire society do not rise.

It is very difficult to pull a hair to move the whole body, just like a gourd in the water, hold down one end and the other end will float again.

"We should mostly make local calls. 4 cents only costs 3 minutes, which is quite expensive," Su Min said.

She's smart, the fees are complicated, but she gets the key points.

One minute is definitely not enough, at least three to five minutes is needed. A longer time would be better. More communication and exchanges. At least half an hour is needed.

This costs a lot of money.

This is an additional cost.

"It's almost time, hang up now."

"Oops, please say a few more words when it's over time."

This is a common phrase used by many people when they call. They call for a while to see how much time has passed. This is still the case even after more than ten or twenty years.

When Lu Hao had his eldest brother in his previous life, he was already worth hundreds of thousands. He rarely kept track of time when he was on the phone. He didn't like keeping track of time. When he had fun, he would be done with it.

It only takes half an hour, and it looks like there is not much money, but in fact the final settlement is quite expensive.

The monthly phone bill is quite high.

"Nini wants to call Xiaojin, so let her call. It just so happens that Xiaojin comes over to play. Let's go shopping together. We agreed before that after she finishes the college entrance examination, I will take her shopping. I can buy whatever I want.

What to buy?" Lu Hao said, "By the way, I also want to tell my parents that we have a landline at home. If I need anything in the future, just call me."

"Okay." Su Min raised her head and glanced at Lu Hao.

She actually wanted to call back. This was a landline installed at her husband's expense.

My man is very capable!

"I'll fight." Nini said immediately.

"Okay, you make the call. Hold the phone. Don't press randomly. I'll press." Su Min had already memorized her home phone number.

Called it.

Got it.

Nini held the microphone and said politely, "Hey, this is aunt? Guess who I am?"
