Reborn peasant female scholar

Chapter 9

It's not time for dinner yet, Tang Mengmeng's parents must be worried about her at home at this time, afraid that she will report alone and even find the school gate.She was going to go downstairs to make a call at the manual telephone booth. Although the landline was not installed at home, the village chief's house had already installed it.

Tang Meng took off his military training uniform and was about to go out.

Qin Fang asked: "Tang Meng, where are you going?"

"I'll call home and report that I'm safe."

Qin Fang screamed in surprise: "Is there a phone in our school? Where is it?" Other roommates also surrounded her and asked where the phone was.

Tang Meng opened the window and pointed to the gate of the boys' dormitory in front of him, "Did you see that? That small shed is a manual telephone booth. It charges 1 cents per minute, and it doesn't cost you to answer the phone."

Qin Fang happily held her little heart, "That's great, that's great, I can still answer the phone!"

"Of course, you tell your parents and junior high school classmates the phone number, and they can call. The old man guarding the phone will call the dormitory number and your name through the loudspeaker, and you can just run down and pick it up."

As soon as Tang Meng finished speaking, Qin Fang and Li Lin were going to follow.Li Lin had already installed a phone in her home, and she was more active than Tang Meng, and she had already flown out at this time.

Tang Meng and Qin Fang followed behind, Qin Fang suddenly asked: "Tang Meng, how do you know that there is a telephone booth there, and that the charge is 1 cents a minute?"

Hey!The little girl is not stupid.Tang Meng said perfunctorily: "I came to report in the morning and went the wrong way. I walked over from the telephone booth. I saw a few seniors calling there, so I asked the old man."

"Oh." Qin Fang believed it.

When they came to the phone booth, Li Lin was already on the phone with her mother. "Mom, we have dinner at six o'clock. Come over and deliver food to me at 06:30. Also, we will start military training tomorrow, and the pants are a bit short. Bring a tape measure and buy me a new pair quickly. Yes." She turned to look at the old man sitting in the pavilion, "Grandpa, what is the phone number?"

The grandfather's surname is Zhang, and his classmates call him Grandpa Zhang.He looked like he might be in his late seventies, but he was in good spirits.With a cattail fan in his hand, he fanned the wind slowly, looked at the small TV in front of him, and said intently: "xxxx-1234567"

Li Lin reported the phone number to her mother, and then said: "From now on, you can call me on this number."

Li Lin hung up the phone, took 3 minutes, and handed over one yuan and fifty cents.Tang Meng dreamed that Qin Fang was in a hurry, so he asked her to fight first.

Qin Fang was stunned, and scratched her head, "I forgot, there is no one in my village with a telephone, but there is one in the neighboring village, but it is far away from my house. It's not evening yet, so they must still be working in the fields .It’s all over now, my mother should be home safely.”

Qin Fang was about to hand over the phone to Tang Meng, but suddenly she stopped and dialed six numbers, but the last number was not dialed for a long time.

Tang Meng urged: "Who are you calling, call quickly!"

Qin Fang blushed, and put down the phone again, "I... my classmate, forget it, don't call."

Tang Meng laughed and said, "What are you doing? If you want to call but don't, then I will." She answered the phone and dialed the phone number of the village chief's house. After two beeps, someone was on the phone. She answered, still in her mother's voice.

"Mom, you won't stay at the village chief's house all day and watch the phone?"
