Seeing the registration time on the admission notice, Liu Hai knew that he would go to the capital at the end of August. There was not much time left for him in August, so he wanted to spend as much time as possible at home in these twenty days.
If things are done well, his father will be more relaxed when he is not at home.
After buying some materials needed for drilling a well, Liu Hai walked from the market to the bus station. When he passed by the telephone supermarket where he spent a "huge" phone bill last time, Liu Hai knew what he had to do first.
When we returned to Maohe Village, it was only noon. The third grandma, her mother Xiao Yun, and the little girl Liu Zi were at home. Her father Liu Qinglin went to the town to buy the red bricks and cement needed to dig a well. And Liu Xiaofu and Liu
Chen went up the mountain to pick yellow flowers and has not come back yet.
Liu Hai put down his things and greeted his third grandmother and mother when they arrived, picked up two bottles of "Open Smile" wine, and led Liu Zi to the head of the village.
The first thing Liu Hai plans to do is to install a telephone at home!
There are three reasons!
First: There is an old man in the family who is relatively weak. His granddaughter, who is the most concerned about him in the world, is studying in the capital. With a phone, it is convenient for Sister Xiaofu to contact the third grandma!
Second: As the saying goes, "If your parents are not far away, you must travel well"! When you are away from home, what you care about most is your family. With a phone, it is much easier for you to communicate with your family!
Third: Now that my family has begun to grow greenhouse peppers, it is still in the initial experimental planting stage. With a telephone, if something goes wrong in the greenhouse, my father can call me in time!
Besides, although the village chief and Liu San's family have telephones, they always go to trouble others. It's embarrassing if they go too many times! It's not appropriate for others to pay for telephone calls, and it's not suitable for them to do so. This is embarrassing others.
After spending a huge amount of money on phone bills at that phone supermarket, Liu Hai knew that the phone bills were not cheap! Especially when he went to the capital, all his calls were long distance outside the province!
Entering Liu San's house, I found that Liu Wu was also there.
Liu Hai came in and said hello. After everyone sat down, Liu Wu spoke!
"Xiao Hai came just in time. I happened to have my brother discussing Liu Laishun's affairs! This stingy guy is also thinking about my brother's position as the village chief! He just came to talk to my brother about this, meaning that he wants my brother to step down.
, recommend him to!m! That stingy guy has the nerve to say it!"
Liu San was smoking his home-grown dry tobacco and said: "Hmph! What's the use of jumping up and down? No one will support him when the vote comes! Leave him alone! --- I mean Xiao Hai.
What do you mean? Why are you bringing wine to San Bo's place?"
Liu Hai put the wine on the table with a smile and said: "Aren't you here to honor your third uncle? When the time comes, when I am going to college and have a wedding banquet, you will have to let your third uncle host it! Haha!"
The bangs were banged hahaha. But Liu Wu said sincerely that he felt happy.
"How is Xiaohai? Did you get the admission notice? Good boy! Okay! You are going to go to university in the capital? Yes, we should make wedding wine, we should do it! We should do it! Come tomorrow, ask my little boy to come and have some
So happy! This is the number one wine! Haha!"
The three of them chatted for a while before Liu Hai explained his real purpose.
After hearing this, Liu San frowned and said: "As early as the spring of last year, people from the telecommunications bureau had already connected the phone lines to our village. It's just that the villagers thought it was too expensive to install telephones and the phone bills were also expensive, so in addition to
Outside of my home, no one has ever pretended!"
"Uncle, do you know how much it costs to install a telephone? It seems that the telecommunications bureau can only extend the line to the village. If the line is extended to our house, I don't know how much the phone line will cost?"
Liu Hai was most worried about this matter. Since only Liu San's family in the village wanted to install telephone lines, and his house was at the end of the village, not all the telephone lines were connected to the village!
Liu San laughed after hearing this.
"You don't have to worry about this now. When I went to the town for a meeting last time, it was said at the meeting that the country has a new policy of having telephones in villages! As long as you are willing to pay the telephone installation fee, you can install the telephone! The telephones and wires are all made by
The state is responsible for it! And the telephone installation fee in our town is also very uniform! Five hundred and sixty-five yuan per household! As long as you pay the telephone installation fee, the people from the telecommunications bureau will guarantee to install your phone!"
Liu Hai was immediately relieved upon hearing this.
If I had just caught up with the policy, I would have saved myself a lot of trouble! I thought to myself: Ever since I accidentally obtained the green apple jade pendant, my luck has become much smoother!
Little Liu Zi stayed quietly beside Liu Hai without saying a word.
In the evening, Liu Hai's family held a "family meeting" on whether to install a telephone!
The final result was that Liu Hai, Liu Xiaofu, Liu Chen, and Liu Zi (looking at Liu Hai raising her hand, Liu Zi naturally raised her little hand) voted four in favor; the third grandmother, Liu Qinglin, and Xiao Yun voted three against.
Liu Hai and other juniors won with a slight advantage of four to three!
Liu Qinglin and the other three adults could only smile bitterly when they saw that all the children voted in favor.
It's best for the old man to speak: "Qinglin, I think since the juniors want to install this phone, let's install it. The children also don't trust me, an old man, so - I will pay for the installation of the phone!"
"How can this work? Third aunt, it's okay, just pretend! We'll just install the phone, but the money won't be yours!"
When Liu Qinglin heard what the old man said, he naturally disagreed.
Liu Hai would not agree. He smiled and said to the old man: "Third Grandma, I have already asked about the price. Now the country has a policy. For five hundred and sixty-five yuan, the phone is guaranteed to come into the house! You also know that our family still has some
Money, these 665 yuan can afford it. Haha - I know you are rich, but at that time, your dowry money will still be left to me, Sister Xiaofu!"
Liu Xiaofu was about to speak at the side, but Liu Hai winked at her. Only Liu Hai and Liu Xiaofu knew that Ouyang Hui gave the third grandmother's jade bracelet to Liu Xiaofu.
"You kid! The third grandma has room and board here, and you still need to take care of her. This——" The old man muttered and stopped talking, but she had her own plan in mind.
Liu Hai and Liu Qinglin discussed it. Since they decided to install the phone, it would be better to choose a date. They will go to the telecommunications bureau tomorrow to sort it out! At the same time, now that Liu Hai has received the notice, Liu Qinglin also wants to choose a date to hold a wedding reception.
Celebrate in the village!
It was only when Liu Hai came to town the next day that he realized that there would be a slight change in what he had to do.
ps: Daosan said goodbye to his parents and traveled far away. Alas, folks, please come and count the votes to comfort me!
