the longest dream

Chapter 43 Phone
"Hello, who is it?"

A familiar voice sounded, but Zhang Qing didn't notice it himself. The corner of his mouth curled into a smile, and he said, "It's me."

"Yo!"

Qi Juan laughed in shock and said, "Brother Ke, is Baituoshan all right?"

Li Suzhi's criticism came faintly on the phone, Qi Juan laughed.

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Say hello to Auntie."

After Qi Juan conveyed it, she wondered: "Are you calling me from the store in your village? Although the longing is very mysterious, but in fact, it's only half a month, and you will probably be able to go back to school. You don't need to miss it so much. .”

Zhang Qing laughed out loud and said, "Our house has a telephone installed today."

Qi Juan laughed and said, "Your name can't be everywhere on White Camel Mountain, right? As far as I know, it takes at least half a year to make an appointment to install the phone, and you can install it when you get home?"

This girl is too shrewd and can always find flaws.

Zhang Qing explained everything about the house, and finally said: "All the hard work was in vain, and we all went back to the village today."

Qi Juan laughed to death over there, and the hearty laughter made Zhang Qing on the other end of the phone feel unspeakable joy in his heart, but Li Suzhi reminded at the right time: "Long-distance calls are not for small talk."

Qi Juan stopped her voice and said to Zhang Qing: "Is there anything else?" Her voice became softer.

Zhang Qing said: "It's okay, hang up."

Qi Juan smiled and said, "See you then." After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone, as crisp as ever.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qing sat for a long time before Fang made a second call: "Sister Zhao, hello."

On the other side, Zhao Qiang said happily: "Hey, how did you know that I came back from Hong Kong Island? I'm about to contact you, Teacher Yang."

Zhang Qing laughed and said, "Sister Zhao worked hard, I guess it should be good news."

Zhao Qiang smiled happily: "You guessed right! Mr. Wang agreed to your request. It can be seen that he was moved by your rhetoric. It is a request now and a threat in the future. He is very moved by you." I also invite you to visit Hong Kong Island as soon as possible when the time is right, besides him, Master Zhong Qu also wants to meet you. Zhang Qing, congratulations, you have become famous."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "It should be called Tongxi."

Zhao Qiang laughed, and then said: "Another great event is about Mr. Zhong Qu. The "Ming Pao" under his name is very interested in your novel. Before I left Hong Kong Island, Mr. Zhong Qu personally sent the "Ming Pao" The editor-in-chief of Ming Pao came to see me. I hope that Ming Pao can reprint your novel. I agree on your behalf. Moreover, the remuneration of "Ming Pao" is higher than that of "Ancient and Modern". .In short, you have another way to increase income. How about it, the economic contract is not signed for nothing, right?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Of course, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. If you submit an article in another magazine, you will not meet Miss Zhao, and you will not be where you are today."

Zhao Qiang was overjoyed and said, "It's over, and your book won't be buried in any editor's hands."

Zhang Qingdao: ""Shooting the Condors" became popular at an extremely fast speed. It really depends on the huge readership that "Ancient and Modern" has laid out over the years. Otherwise, it would not have been fermented in two or three years, and it would not be where it is today. But I can fight for it. With such good conditions, it all depends on Sister Zhao's righteousness and loyalty. Not to mention, the trip to Hong Kong City."

Zhao Qiang laughed and said, "That's enough! Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing, I misjudged you! I must tell that girl Qi Juan to make her watch you closely, otherwise I will rely on your serious Sweet mouth, I don’t know how many girls will suffer in the future. When you go to college, it’s okay?”

Zhang Qing hung up the phone resolutely and said, "Okay, I still have to announce the good news to the teacher, let's talk back!"

After all, he hung up the phone, and then transferred the number of Yang Fengmei's house round and round...

……

Three days later.

"Qingzi, come and try!"

Sister-in-law Li Ying went into the city on a tractor and brought the cotton jacket and trousers prepared for him by the women of the whole family.

Xijiang in this era is much colder than it will be thirty years later.

In winter, people wear autumn clothes, woolen vests, sweaters, cotton padded jackets, and a cloth jacket on the outside.

Zhang Guozhong's leather jacket and Sun Yuehe's overcoat were purchased because of Zhang Qing's remittance of [-] yuan before, and they were not for themselves, but for their son. shame.

As soon as the two returned home, they had already taken off their clothes.

Because they are out of place in the village, they will make people laugh.

Zhang Qing's overcoat is useful in Jiangjing City, but it is obviously not very useful when he comes back, and it is too eye-catching to wear in the village, and it is easy to get dirty, so the family hurriedly bought him a set of "serious village clothes".

"Sister-in-law, why don't you have shoes? This outfit doesn't match leather shoes either."

Zhang Qing took the padded jacket and trousers, made gestures on his body and smiled.

Li Ying laughed loudly and said, "Yes, your brother Fu Sheng found it for you, the felt cylinder of Hasa."

The felt tubes are the boots that the ethnic people in Xijiang like to wear for grazing. They are made of felt and are airtight.

At this time, Fu Sheng parked the tractor and went upstairs, looked at Zhang Qing and smiled, "How about Qingzi, is this outfit foreign?"

Zhang Qing laughed and said, "Are you asking me to go on a blind date?"

Fusheng laughed and said: "You still use blind dates? How many people come to our house these days. If you want to save face, just keep it a little hidden, saying that there is a suitable girl in the family who should get married, and let our family help to see if there is any." Good young people. The condition is that you can study, and you don’t need to mention the house, money, or land, as long as you can study. Hurry up, I’m going to find your parents directly, and I want to get married!"

Zhang Qing shook his head and smiled: "My parents must say that they can't control my affairs, so I can make up my own mind?"

Li Ying couldn't help laughing, and said: "My aunt said, you have a date at school, she is the daughter of a big leader's family, she was born like a fairy daughter, she is very generous, she can speak well, and her mother likes you very much? "

Zhang Qing couldn't help but say, "It's all about nothing."

Fu Sheng didn't believe it: "Eh~ you're still hiding it from us? Not only my aunt said it, but Lan Lan said it too, the girls like you so much!"

Zhang Qing smiled helplessly: "What does she know...Brother Fusheng, shall I go back today?"

Fu Sheng nodded and smiled, "It's the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and it's going to be thirty soon. What are you doing here alone?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Then you two don't need to pick it up together?"

Li Ying said anxiously: "I'm here to take a bath, I won't tell you, I'll go down first, Haiping, Haiyan and the others are taking a bath below. Come back after washing!"

Fusheng looked at his wife's back and curled his lips and said: "When I didn't buy a building, it would be good if I could wash it once a month. Now that I bought a building, I just went home for three days, and they all itch to death. It's time to take a shower, and you should be poor!"

Zhang Qing said: "It is good to take a bath frequently and maintain hygiene. It is less likely to get sick."

Fu Sheng disagreed, and said, "Why didn't such things happen before? Only people in the city have a lot of things!"

Zhang Qing became more serious, looked at his old cousin and said: "The average life expectancy of the rural population is about five years less than that of the urban population. This is only a part of the survey. In fact, it is far exaggerated. These are not paper data, but one by one. Live statistics come out.

Brother Fusheng, if you want to do great things, don't be proud of being reckless or uneducated.If you want to do great things, it doesn't matter if you don't have much culture now, but you must learn knowledge with an open mind.

What knowledge is, is information, or in other words, news, all kinds of news, correct news.

To acquire knowledge is to learn how to discern the correct message.Only by learning this can we do great things.

The present era is the best era, the golden age, for people with low education like you.but

In the end, who can fight for the top depends not only on who is braver and more capable, but ultimately depends on his ability to learn knowledge.Do you understand it? "

Sun Fusheng: "..."

He knew he was a bird, so he regretted that he shouldn't have talked too much and was criticized.

But he is simple and honest, he just smiled and nodded.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Qing also smiled helplessly, a little anxious, take your time...
