rebirth of cataclysm

Obviously, Xu Tiancai still has some reservations about Hu Mingchen's trust. His agreement just now cannot be ruled out because of Wang Zhan's factors. In addition, it is the first time they meet, and their understanding of each other is not detailed enough.

Under such circumstances, Hu Mingchen's clearest and most correct approach was to refuse.

On the other hand, if Hu Mingchen refused, he might be able to get Gao to take a look. On the other hand, if he immediately followed the stick, Xu Tiancai would probably look down on him to a certain extent.

"Okay, when you need it, just ask Uncle Xu. Even if I don't have it, I will help you raise it. If you also want to buy land here in Phoenix Mountain, you can find me here.

, I still know some people, even if I can't help directly, it's still okay to connect and build a bridge." Hu Mingchen's refusal caused Xu Tiancai's attitude towards Hu Mingchen to change slightly.

"Haha, this aspect may cause trouble to Uncle Xu. Just don't bother me when the time comes." Hu Mingchen readily accepted the point of matchmaking.

If you want to buy land in Fenghuang Mountain, it will be difficult to find a seller if you don't have an acquaintance to recommend it. Since Xu Tiancai has relevant connections, of course he must use them reasonably.

After coming down from Fenghuang Mountain, Xu Tiancai treated him to a meal, and then Hu Mingchen went to the station to rush home.

Hu Mingchen came back from the city with a phone in his hand, which suddenly became big news in Huangni Village.

Huangni Village doesn't even have electricity, so don't even have a landline phone or TV.

"Uncle, this is a phone? It's impossible, isn't it supposed to have a phone line? You don't have anything, just holding it in your hand, how can you make a call?" Hu Dehua looked around at the step in Hu Mingchen's hand.

Alcatel mobile phone, very curious and puzzled.

"Have you never seen Big Brother in the movie? It's the same as Big Brother. Big Brother is just for making phone calls." Hu Yujiao said.

Although there is no telephone in Huangni Village, Hu Yujiao would watch movies in her cinema from time to time, and Big Brother often appeared in those Hong Kong and Taiwan movies.

"Of course I've seen it before, but this one is so small, and there's no antenna. It's amazing. You can make calls here." Hu Dehua also went to the cinema more than once to watch free movies. He knew Big Brother, but so

This small mobile phone, especially when it was placed in front of him, was indeed his first time seeing it.

"This one also has an antenna. Did you see it? This small point is the antenna. This antenna will get smaller and smaller, and soon it will even go directly inside, completely invisible." Hu Mingchen pointed to the top of the phone, which looks like a little thumb bump.

local road.

"Xiaochen, how much does this gadget of yours cost? Is it a few hundred yuan?" Li Xiumei asked, sitting aside and looking at the mobile phone in Hu Mingchen's hand.

"Second Aunt, it originally cost more than two thousand. By chance, I was given a 30% discount, so it costs one thousand and fifty-six." Hu Mingchen said calmly without any hint of showing off.

"Wow, more than two thousand is so expensive. You can afford it without eating or drinking for more than half a year." When she heard the price of more than two thousand, Li Xiumei was shocked, and then smiled and said: "It's so embarrassing, I thought it was just a few hundred yuan.

I can buy it."

Like Tong Bailiang, a rural teacher with a job, a few hundred yuan is still an incredible price for his family, let alone other people who only rely on farming.

"You are really a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. If you can buy it for a few hundred yuan, is it still something only big bosses can afford?" Song Chunmei joked with a smile.

"You are also a country bumpkin. Have you seen it before? Or haven't you seen it before? I guess it's a few hundred yuan. If it were you, it might be dozens of yuan." Li Xiumei joked back, "Xiaochen, you can't do that now.

You can call me. If you can, give me a call."

"What are you calling and who are you calling? Do you know that the phone bill is very expensive? If you get damaged, what compensation will you pay? It's more than two thousand, can you afford it?" Tong Baoliang said with a glare.

.

"Tong Bailiang, maybe she has a lover outside, call her, hahaha." Xu Jinnan joked.

"Second Master Xu, it's true. How can you say such nonsense? Second Aunt Tong wouldn't call her in front of us if she has a crush. Besides, in Duge Township, we only have telephones on the streets. We can go there from here.

The street isn't too far, so you can just sneak in for a tryst, so there's no need to waste phone bills." Long Cui'e interjected. It seemed like she was helping Li Xiumei, but in fact she was following Xu Jinnan to make fun of Li Xiumei.

"I tell you two... Hu Mingyi, you'd better keep a close eye on your Long Cui'e, lest she sneaks out to meet Xu Jinnan, and you will suffer a big loss." Li Xiumei is not so easy to tease.

Yes, she immediately gave a powerful response.

"Haha, I told you that you can't make any good jokes. If Hu Mingyi goes home and fights with Long Cui'e, you two will be responsible." Hu Mingchen's uncle Hu Jianye said.

...

This kind of joke made by rural people with a little bit of local flavor is a common border defense. No one really cares about it. It just adds some anecdotes and jokes to the boring life.

"Second Aunt, I've bought a phone card and put it in it. If you need to make a call, just use it. It doesn't matter." As a junior, when they were joking, Hu Mingchen could only laugh with them and wait.

Their joking reached a certain stage, and Hu Mingchen faced Li Xiumei's words head-on.

"Haha, Xiaochen is still generous, but I'm just joking with you. I don't do business and I don't have any relatives in the city. What kind of phone call should I make? But, Xiaochen, this mobile phone is...

Is there a phone number? Can people call me if they know the phone number?" Li Xiumei said with a smile.

"Yes, I just bought the card and put it in today." Hu Mingchen said.

"Then you can copy your phone number to me later. If someone outside looks for me or you, Mr. Tong, in the future, you can just shout or help bring a letter, okay?" Li Xiumei made a very practical request.

.

"Okay, I'll copy it for you later, no problem." Hu Mingchen readily agreed.

At this time, mobile phones were two-way, and making and receiving calls cost money, but Hu Mingchen didn't say no because of this, and he didn't even mention charging for the phone call.

The Tong family helped Hu Mingchen's family a lot, and Hu Mingchen learned that the favor was repaid. Besides, there shouldn't be many calls to his family in a month.

Hu Mingchen still remembers that the first house in the area with a telephone was his grandmother's house. The village had just received electricity at that time, so Zhong Ying bought a TV and installed a landline phone with Hu Youling's instigation and help.

At that time, almost everyone around would tell Zhong Ying's home phone number to people who might call them, such as children or parents who go out to work. When something happened, they would call Zhong Ying's home.

Please ask Zhong Ying to ask someone to answer the phone or take a message.

And every time Zhong Ying called someone, he had to charge one yuan for phone calls or labor fees. Even when Hu Jianjun, who went out to work, called back and asked Hu Yandie to pick him up, he still had to calculate the money, but the money was not for Hu Yandie.

Otherwise, we just have to wait until Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai come back from their part-time job to find them.

"Xiaochen, give me a copy too."

"I want it too, so that no one can find me if they have something to do."

...

Li Xiumei started, and then Tong Baiguo's family, Xu Jinnan's family, Hu Mingyi's family and Hu Jianye's family followed suit. They also wanted to write down Hu Mingchen's mobile phone number so that they could pass it on to people who might have trouble with her.

Originally, the mobile phone was a very personal phone, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed to have become a public phone.

Hu Mingchen couldn't treat one favorably. She couldn't agree to Li Xiumei and reject others. That would be very inappropriate.

Although he thought that the phone bill might be high, Hu Mingchen could only agree to them one by one.

Seeing a strange mobile phone call, she attracted everyone to her home, and everyone seemed to be a little bit interested in their mobile phone. Jiang Yucai was proud and proud. But when she thought about Hu Mingchen's words, the phone bill of that thing was quite expensive.

, Jiang Yucai felt a little bit pained again.

Hu Mingchen didn't even mention the charge, and the face-loving Jiang Yucai was even less likely to mention it.

"If you ask others to call you when they have something to do, it's best to ask them to call me after school. We don't have electricity in Huangni Village. This phone needs to be taken to the street during the day to charge. But I come back from school

After that, no matter whether you make outgoing calls or receive incoming calls, there will be no problem." For Hu Mingchen, the difficulty is not the phone bill. The real hardship is that there is no electricity in Huangni Village, and it is impossible to leave the mobile phone at home all the time. In order to avoid trouble,

Hu Mingchen had to make such a reminder.

“No problem, understandable”

"Just do as you say, and I can't disturb you while you're in class."

No one would think Hu Mingchen's advice was excessive, after all, what he said was the truth.

"I said your family is really extravagant and wasteful. You don't know what's good or bad. Now you have a little money, but you spend so much money to buy such an expensive phone, and when you buy it, it suddenly becomes a public phone. Like your family,

Sometimes I don’t want to think about it, but when I don’t have it, it’s so bad.” For some reason, Zhong Ying couldn’t stand Hu Mingchen’s cell phone.

With what Zhong Ying said, he not only criticized Hu Mingchen's family, but also immediately offended the families who asked Hu Mingchen for his number.

"Grandma makes money just to make money and spend it. When it is convenient for herself, it can also be convenient for everyone. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Whether you have money or not, you rely on making money, not saving. If you don't have money, saving will not matter.

How much can you save? This phone is a bit expensive, but it has its value.

It's worth it. With a phone, my family can easily communicate with the city. This is good for my family's business. Maybe I can make more money. It's not just buying and displaying it for fun. Besides, I go there often for phone calls.

Public phones also cost money." As soon as Zhong Ying finished speaking, Hu Mingchen said first.
