fisherman's evening

Chapter 66

"No, no." Yu Laosan quickly explained: "This telegraph pole belongs to the country, we can't dig it."

"That's fine, just wait. If there are no accidents, the telephone line in your village will be connected tonight." Another younger correspondent said: "Don't forget to pay the phone bill then."

Yu Laosan was overjoyed. According to the two people, the first call could be made tonight, and he decided to hand over the first call to Guangfa. Yu Laosan knew that every time Guangfa wanted to give Guangcheng had to go to the town to make calls, and the price of using other people's phones was much more expensive than making calls from his own village. Guangfa was reluctant to make extra calls every time.

After seeing off the two correspondents, Yu Laosan received a meal and sat next to Guangfa.

"Guangfa, we can talk on the phone tonight in our village." Yu Laosan smiled.

Guangfa saw Yu Laosan talking to those two people just now, and thought it was from the town to inquire about the progress of the road construction. Now, after hearing what Yu Laosan said, Guangfa suddenly realized.

"What? Those two people came to call us just now?" Guangfa asked: "If we get through the phone, can we call Guangcheng in our village?"

Seeing Guangfa's excitement, Yu Laosan nodded without saying a word.

Guangfa's mouth is almost grinning to the ears at this moment. For him, apart from building roads, there is nothing more enjoyable than chatting with his brother.

"I have to work quickly this afternoon! Go check it out early!" Guangfa said, "See if they need my help."

"Don't make trouble." Yu Laosan said, "I'll let you call the first one after the call, but your task this afternoon is to go and inform everyone one by one, don't dig up the telephone poles. "

After hearing the instructions, Guangfa couldn't wait for a moment, ate the last bite of sweet potatoes, drank a saliva, got up and went to notify one by one.

"This Guangfa!" Yu Lao San smiled inwardly, "With him here, I can save trouble!"

In one afternoon, the villagers have already repaired the width of this section of the road, and the road surface has begun to be leveled.Yu Laosan called on Yu Jianshan to mark the road to be built tomorrow.

"Old man, do you think it's time for me to bring people to start plastering tomorrow and prepare to spread the plaster?" Lao Hai came to Lao San's side at this moment.

"No hurry, the town will come to repair the transformer in the next two days, and we will wait until the transformer is repaired." Yu Laosan said: "Otherwise, if the road that has just been paved with plaster is trampled, it will be bad."

Although Lao Hai took Yu Jun and the others to clear the stones for a day, he also heard about the telephone lines and transformer repairs in the village.

"That's fine. After the transformer is repaired, we'll start laying plaster." Lao Hai said.

"Ok!"

Yu Laosan didn't say any more, he and Yu Jianshan were busy marking the next road, and didn't dare to be too distracted, if they accidentally marked the wrong way, the next road would become more and more deviant.And Lao Hai was also a winking person, so he didn't ask any more questions, and returned to Yu Jun's gang to continue clearing the stones on both sides of the road.

After a while, Yu Jianshan straightened up to take a rest, and saw three or five people in the distance walking towards him bit by bit holding the telephone wires.

"Old man, look." Yu Jianshan patted Yu Lao San on the shoulder and said, "I've taken it."

Yu Laosan also straightened up and looked at the correspondents.

"Jianshan, go get some water and ask Yu Jun to deliver it to these people." Yu Laosan said.

"Okay!" Yu Jianshan walked towards Yu Jun.

After a while, he took Yu Jun, carrying a bucket of water and a few bowls, and walked towards the correspondents.

"Comrade, take a break and drink some water." Yu Jun walked forward with the water and said, "It's been hard work, hard work!"

These correspondents also stopped, put down their work, and drank water without being polite.

"The situation in your village is also a bit special." One of them said, "It's a bit far away, it's really tiring."

Seeing the correspondent complain, both Yu Jun and Yu Jianshan smiled in embarrassment. What they said was the actual situation, no wonder he complained.

"Comrade, thank you for your hard work." Yu Jun said again: "When the phone line is connected, my third uncle, the party secretary of the village, invites you to drink. People like my third uncle who are so picky have spoken, and I must invite you drink wine!"

These correspondents thought to themselves, hurry up and get through the phone line for your village. I dare not drink this wine. What not to say for yourself.

"Ah!"

Yu Lao San stood by the side of the road, sneezed, looked at Yu Jun from a distance, and thought

"You're talking bad about me again!"

The correspondents put down the bowls in their hands and quenched their thirst, so they picked up the tools again and got busy, not caring about talking to Yu Jun and Yu Jianshan.

Yu Jianshan also felt that staying here was boring himself, looked at Yu Jun, and motioned to go back, Yu Jun also understood, lifted the bucket on the ground, and followed Yu Jianshan back.

"Did you say bad things about me, kid?" Yu Laosan asked Yu Jun after watching the two of them come back, "Or did you arrange something bad for me behind my back?"

"Third uncle, I didn't say that, if you don't believe me, you ask me Uncle Jianshan!" Yu Jun scratched his head.

Yu Jianshan smiled and said nothing, continued to pick up the thread on the ground, ready to work.

At dusk, the sun was about to set, and the villagers on the construction site had all gone home, and the telephone line was also pulled into the village committee.

In normal times, there must be a group of villagers watching the telephone line, but now, everyone has worked hard all day, so how can they have the energy to join in the fun? In the village committee yard, only Yu Lao San and Guangfa are left. , Lao Hai and three people.

"The phone has been installed in your village. When the time comes, pay the 20 yuan phone bill and the phone fee to the town." The older correspondent said.

"Comrade, can I just give you the money?" Yu Laosan asked.

"No, we are only responsible for installing the telephone, but not for collecting money. You have to go to the town to pay the money."

Yu Laosan frowned and said, "Then we have to go to town again."

"The phone lines have been pulled over by you, will it be tiring to go again?" Another correspondent said angrily.

Yu Laosan also knew that these correspondents were tired today, so he stopped asking these things, just nodded and agreed.

"If there's nothing else, we'll go back to town. Look at this, it will be midnight when we get back to town!" the young correspondent complained.

"Comrade, if that's not the case, why don't you just stay in the village for a night before leaving?" Lao Hai said again, it's really not the case to let them go back.

"No, we have something to do tomorrow, not only your village has to pull the phone line."
