Chapter 570 Installing a phone
Xue Mei Li laughed and said, "That's because you don't know the origin of the one giving his English supplementary lessons."
Deputy Chief Jiang took off his coat and uttered, "Didn't Mom come here and say she's a college teacher."
"If she's an ordinary university teacher, she may not be able to suppress your arrogant son." Xue Mei Li amusedly scolded.
Although Deputy Chief Jiang often trained his son to be a little prideful, his true wish was to nurture his son to walk his same path. Naturally, he can't be too honest. So don't take his surface words. He was quite satisfied with him.
So when he heard this, he wondered: "Not an ordinary university teacher?"
"Director of the Department of Foreign Language at Bei University!" Xue Mei Li declared.
When she said this, she couldn't help but have an expression of admiration. She felt Lin Qing He was excellent at teaching. During the trial hour, her attention was pulled in. Let alone her son. After returning, he worked hard.
Deputy Chief Jiang was stunned. It was very surprising. He really did not expect her to have such background?
"Why did she come here?" Deputy Chief Jiang said.
"She's pregnant. Came here to nurture her pregnancy. She will go back after giving birth." Xue Mei Li told.
Deputy Chief Jiang understood that this is over-birth. Basically, those who over-birth will go to other places to give birth because they will not be caught in other places. It was pointless to catch them because it was a household registration in their jurisdiction. No file record.
"She didn't collect any money. So I told Xiao Geng to bring some fruit over the next day." Xue Mei Li mentioned.
"A good idea." Deputy Chief Jiang nodded.
On Lin Qing He's side, she felt that it was good. It was just teaching a high school student. Some casual pointer was enough for him to digest. It didn't take much effort. The lesson was on the basic. After all, she was laying the foundation right now.
As for Jiang Geng bringing fruit when she refused money, she didn't refuse it. It seemed a bit unreasonable to keep pushing.
She peeled an apple and ate it while teaching Jiang Geng. Jiang Geng was serious about learning.
An hour passed quickly.
Lin Qing He said: "Repeat what I taught. Also, recite the ten English words every day. You will probably see results in a month."
Jiang Geng was a little excited: "That fast?"
"After finishing all the homework that I have given you, it's no problem to improve your grades by 30 points from your original one month later." Lin Qing He declared.
After all, his average was in the tens or twenties. This result was really terrible.
Jiang Geng found the improvement too little. Lin Qing He said, "First time studying? Don't you understand the logic that one can't get fat in one bite? Don't drop your other subjects."
"Then I will come back tomorrow." Jiang Geng prepared to head back.
Lin Qing He nodded, Jiang Geng went to talk to his grandparents before going home.
Next door, old Mister Jiang spoke to old Madam Jiang: "Our grandson is very passionate about English now."
"That's right. Look who taught him." old Madam Jiang remarked. She was quite surprised when discovering Lin Qing He was the director of Bei University's foreign language department.
Once her surprise calm down, she didn't find it unexpected at all. Just her aura alone, she seem extraordinary. The books she read were all in English.
"Didn't accept money?" Old Mister Jiang uttered.
"Qing He didn't. Said it was just an hour. Fortunately, his mom isn't foolish." Old Madam Jiang responded.
It was good to get her son to bring some fruits over. After all, the other party was willing to teach for free. Still, their side can't take advantage, right?
Besides, old Madam Jiang really wanted to be friends with Lin Qing He. She would like to go stroll the capital when she return there later.
When Zhou Qing Bai came back from outside, he brought a land deed and documentary proof.
"Wife, how about installing a phone in the dumpling shop next time we go back?" Zhou Qing Bai suggested.
"It's too expensive." Lin Qing He couldn't help but say.
At this time, it cost thousands of yuan to set up a telephone.
"It is expensive. When I was buying this shop, the village committee wanted to ask me to leave a number." Zhou Qing Bai mentioned.
"Why leave a number?" Lin Qing He casually responded.
"Said that someone had come to check that area. Maybe the country wants to take back it. Have to leave a phone number for contact." Zhou Qing Bai explained.
"Take it back?" Lin Qing He exclaimed: "How will they compensate?"
"Who knows. It's not clear yet." Zhou Qing Bai smiled.
"Then install it now. Call Third and the others. Set it in the dumpling shop." Lin Qing He said.
The dumpling shop was currently being managed by Aunt Ma. It didn't affect setting up a telephone.
Lin Qing He agreed with him. It was better to leave a phone number. Not only do they leave a phone number here, but for all real estate here too. They have to go to the local village committee of the Housing Management Bureau to leave a contact number.
After all, there were many old houses in the community. Maybe the developers will take a fancy upon them, right?
The people right now probably don't have that courage yet. But it will definitely start up in the future, so it was better to leave a contact.
Zhou Qing Bai nodded and called Zhou Xiao Mei.
Zhou Xiao Mei went to the convenience store to answer the call. She was stunned when she heard this: "A telephone costs thousands. Why install one? We usually don't make many calls."
If it was cheaper, she would like to have one herself. But a few thousand yuan was really uneconomical. A telephone was equivalent to her bun shop.
However, the price of the bun shop was the same in the past. Now, it was more than that.
"Get Second and Third to contact them and set one up. There will be more places to use in the future," said Zhou Qing Bai.
Their family have a lot of business. They have to continue to arrange for goods delivery from some sources in the south. It was much more convenient to have a fixed phone number.
Zhou Xiao Mei persuaded, which fell to deaf ears.
Then in the evening, the two brothers came here for dinner. She brought this up.
"My dad is so courageous. A phone is so expensive and still want to install it?" Zhou Gui Lai exclaimed in surprise.
"Your dad is wasting money. Did money come so easily? A phone is so expensive and can't use it more than a few times a month." Mother Zhou Mu complained.
"Grandmother, don't say it like that. It's not easy to contact the dried seafood supplier in the south. There are other businesses too. My mom wants to open a tea shop. At that time, they have to source from the south. A phone would be useful then. "Zhou Gui Lai said.
Mother Zhou said: "Using the phone booth to make a call isn't bad."
"It's convenient to own one. If anything happened, they can contact us at once. If Eldest Brother want to call back, he can call at any time," Zhou Xuan coaxed.
He supported having a phone at home. How convenient it would be?
So the two brothers got in touch the next day and set up a phone for the dumpling shop.
Aunt Ma remarked, "This is a lot of money."
"My parents ordered us to. If you want to get in touch with Uncle Cheng Min's brother, you can also give this number. It will be much more convenient to make this number fixed in the future." Zhou Gui Lai responded.
