Era Space: The darling of the rough man is sweet and flirtatious

Chapter 173
Hong Tiesong took Mrs. Xiao to the post office first.

At this time, the post and telecommunications office included telecommunications and postal services. To make a long-distance call, you must go to the post and telecommunications office to fill in a form and queue up.

The magnet hand-cranked telephone does not need a special power supply, and it can be used by installing a battery.

The battery is used for talking, and the hand crank is connected to a permanent magnet excited micro-alternator to provide the ringing voltage.

Dial the phone here and shake it a few times until the receiver's phone on the other side of the phone line rings.

Electricity is needed to send telegrams, and generators are needed for post and telecommunications without electricity.

The Jiantan Post and Telecommunications Station couldn't afford gasoline generators, so they had to use hand-cranked generators.

The generator of the specially equipped shaking electric class is relatively light when it is unloaded, but it is very heavy when it is loaded, and those who have no strength are not worthy of this bowl of rice.

On fair days, the post office and the supply and marketing cooperative are the noisiest places in the town.

The area on the right side of the hall of the post office is the telegraph and long-distance telephone service window. Mrs. Xiao sat on a long chair in the middle of the hall and watched anxiously Hong Tiesong filling out the form on the window table. The noisy environment made her feel even more anxious. up.

The row of telephone booths on the left has no separate compartments, and each telephone has a small compartment.

The people holding the phone cover one ear, or stand or squat, and the content of the call is output by roaring.

The long-distance callers are undoubtedly the most eye-catching existence in the entire post and telecommunications office, because they are excited, very excited.

Long-distance calls are not immediately connected, and cannot be dialed or answered directly.

To make a long-distance call must be transferred through the long-distance station, and connected through the manual operation of a long-distance operator.

It is extremely fast to successfully connect a long-distance call within two hours, and it is not uncommon to wait for a long time.

Mrs. Xiao didn't know who Hong Tiesong was going to send a telegram to, but she knew it must be because of her family's affairs.

The waiting time for long-distance calls is variable, so sending a telegram has become another emergency solution.

Ordinary telegrams cost 3 cents a word, big eggs cost 8 cents a piece, and small eggs cost 7 cents.

Sending telegrams is very expensive for ordinary people. Generally, there are only three situations for sending telegrams: great joy, great sorrow, and great urgency.

Hong Tiesong filled out the form and ticked the urgent option.

"Is it urgent?" The staff confirmed to him by knocking on the form on the table, "7 cents a word!"

Hong Tiesong nodded, took out his wallet and paid the money.

Ordinary telegrams usually take two or three days to be delivered, while urgent telegrams only take four to six hours. He doesn't care about the money, he just wants the sooner the better.

He took the receipt, picked up the bucket and canvas luggage bag at his feet with one hand, and walked out of the queue.

Glancing at Aunt Xiao who was sitting on the bench, seeing her secretly wiping tears again, her brows were furrowed impatiently.

He walked over and glared at her.

Mrs. Xiao immediately wiped her face and smiled gratefully at him, "Thank you, Fourth Brother Hong." Standing up, she put on crutches and followed him out.

Hong Tiesong didn't speak, and impatiently pulled away a man who was pushed beside her, "Look at the road!"

The man who was staggered by being pulled turned around and saw his fierce face and figure, the unhappiness on his face instantly changed to a sneer, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

With his roar just now, no one dared to approach him and Mrs. Xiao, and silently made way for him.

After picking up the bicycle, he hung his things on the front of the bicycle, and waited for Mrs. Xiao to sit firmly before pedaling on the ground to ride the bicycle.

The speculative office is located in the northwest corner of the commune compound, a separate row of houses.

Yan Qingguo originally wanted to go to the toilet, but when he came out of the office, he saw them approaching with a dizzy head.

"Tsk, I'll go to the toilet first, you can wait for me in the office for a while."

He clutched his stomach and walked away without looking back.

Hong Tiesong walked into the office with his things, put them by the wall, turned around and went out.

After get off work hours, there were only two or three people left in the large office outside, and the door of the inside room was half open.

Mrs. Xiao put away her crutches and put them against the wall. Before she could speak while sitting on the bench, a tall and thin middle-aged man came over with an enamel jar and sighed first.

"Jin Fang, this matter is not easy to deal with. The superiors will press down and interrogate tomorrow. If you don't recruit, you know those of us..."

Aunt Xiao held the enamel jar and burst into tears, and asked in a low voice with trembling lips, "Brother Guanghou, how many days can you delay at most if you confess to me?"

He glanced outside the door, silently raised a finger in the hand hanging by his side.

Mrs. Xiao shivered, covered her mouth and cried.

Hong Tiesong walked into the public toilet, glanced at the row of squatting pits, and walked in.

When Yan Qingguo saw him coming in, he felt bad.

At Jiantan Commune, he stopped at the grasshopper market with his hands behind his back. Which one didn't run faster than a rabbit?
Today, I caught two big troubles. There was no movement in the pit next door for a long time. He was worried...

This big black-faced man made it clear that he didn't come to the toilet, and he didn't speak, which made him unable to go to the toilet with peace of mind.

After the sound of rushing water, someone went out.

There were a few knocks on cement bricks above his head, and Yan Qingguo turned his head to look, his eyebrows drooping immediately.

Hong Tiesong remained expressionless, "I heard that your youngest son is going to go to university in the provincial capital this year, right?"

Yan Qingguo was shocked, his eyes were full of panic, and everyone was trembling, "No, no, no, comrade, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don’t.” There are really difficulties. The county"

Hong Tiesong unhurriedly took out a watch from his pocket and threw it on his lap, "I wish you success in your studies."

The extremely rare dark blue dial, white thin hour markers and hands, the high-gloss mirror polishing of the outer ring of the watch mirror and the fine brushing of the middle case, light and dark interlaced between light and shadow.

The overall line of the case is as sharp as a knife and as bright as new.

The elegant black calfskin strap further sets off the elegant and stable temperament of this watch.

Yan Qingguo, as the team leader of the commune's speculative office, considered himself a person who had seen the world, but he didn't understand what brand [LONGINES] was on the flying wing hourglass.

But the appearance of this watch is so exquisite and elegant that it is almost amazing at first glance.

"This cough." He stretched his neck and glanced at other pits, "No, I haven't seen it."

"Made in Switzerland, special offer."

"Then, I, you"

"Pick it up, hand it in, it's not bad to pick up money."

Hong Tiesong walked out of the squatting pit, stretched out one hand, and put away two fingers, "I picked it up three days ago." After speaking, he went straight outside.

The hands of the watch in Yan Qingguo's hand beat silently. He grabbed his sleeve and carefully wiped off the fingerprints on the watch case, muttering to himself: "It's okay for three days."

Hong Tiesong returned to the office, sat on the other side of the bench without saying a word, took out the cigarette case, shook out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Putting the cigarette case back into his pocket, he took out another lighter, opened the lid and clicked to light the cigarette.

The eyes of the men sitting over there were brightened. The lighter, which was half the size of a cigarette case, had rounded corners and a shiny gold-plated mirror case.

Even if you don't use it to light cigarettes, it's fun to hold such a delicate gadget in your hand.

Not long after, Yan Qingguo came in with his hands behind his back, and Mrs. Xiao got up immediately, "Brother Qingguo, I brought them a change of clothes and daily necessities, can I send them over?"

"Cough..." He glanced at Hong Tiesong who was expressionless and shaking the ashes, cleared his throat and walked into the inner office, took out a handbag and said as he walked, "I have something to do at home today, so hurry back. Lao Qin, I will help you later." I'll lock the door."

Sister Xiao's eyes immediately filled with joy, and after he left, she smiled at Lao Qin who brought her water just now, "Brother Guanghou, I will leave as soon as I finish delivering the things, I promise it won't take long."

Hong Tiesong's eyes were glared by the humble, flattering smile with red eye circles. He pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and turned it hard a few times.

"Okay." Lao Qin ran into the room and took out a bunch of keys, leaned close to her and lowered his voice, "I won't talk about those among my own people, you know the rules."

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." Mrs. Xiao forced a smile.

Standing up and leaning on crutches, just as she was about to carry something, a dark and broad hand snatched it away in front of her.

In the temporary detention room, Xiao Chunming sat with his head bowed on the long concrete pier by the wall, exuding a decadent air.

"Chunming, brother has troubled you."

"Brother, what are you talking about, whether you are involved or not."

Xiao Chunming clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, "Why should we be trampled into the mud after suffering a loss? Why is that woman so arrogant? Brother, I am not reconciled!"

Xiao Dongming stared at the tip of his toes, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Who would be willing. I don't know if the silly girl really misses her when she goes home. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to meet her in the future."

"Brother." Xiao Chunming sniffed, "I am born with a good life, and nothing can kill me. I don't believe that Uncle Hong will stand by and watch."

Xiao Dongming smiled wryly, and stretched out his hand to pat his head, "I'm sure, it's not good for Uncle Hong to come forward in person. Believe it or not, we don't have to wait for tomorrow, it must be interrogated overnight, and it will be useless for anyone to save me by then." .”

The iron door outside slammed, and the familiar sound of wood hitting the ground was very clear in the dark and quiet detention room.

"Is it sister-in-law? How could she come here?" Xiao Chunming couldn't believe it.

"Hurry up, pay attention to the time, I'll give you 5 minutes."

"Hey, little comrade has worked hard, thank you very much."

A familiar voice came, and Xiao Chunming jumped up and rushed to the door, pawing at the palm-sized opening on the iron door and looking out.

Seeing Aunt Xiao and Hong Tiesong following behind, his mood brightened immediately.

The click of the iron lock was heard, and he stepped back, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, and he opened his mouth in a low voice after the gatekeeper militiamen left.

"Sister-in-law, fourth brother Hong, how did you come in? Didn't your family not allow you to visit?"

He watched Hong Tiesong put things by the wall, and was even more surprised, "Why did you bring these, we won't be here tomorrow."

Aunt Xiao rubbed his head distressedly, "You Uncle Hong and Fourth Brother Hong are helping to find the way, and Yulan girl is also in a hurry to go home and find someone."

Hearing about Lin Yulan, Xiao Dongming suddenly regained his spirits, "Her, how is she!"

"After you left, she cried for a while. She seemed to say "sister" in her mouth. She got on the bike and left. I asked her, and she said that she didn't take any clothes when she went home. It should be to find someone to find a way to get them back. You guys."

Aunt Xiao took out the things for them while talking, "Old Qin said that it can be delayed for a day. If they interrogate you, don't recruit them. Everyone is trying to figure out a way."

"Three days." Hong Tiesong protested blankly, "I won't send you to the county. I won't admit anything to you. I'll wait here with peace of mind."

The cold and hard tone immediately cheered up the other people present. Mrs. Xiao covered her heart, her eyes were red, "Okay, okay, you can wait at ease."

On the other side, the atmosphere in the Xiao family was much more enthusiastic.

Uncle Hong held the two proof materials and slapped the table happily.

"Good guy, wonderful, wonderful! Yulan girl, your sister's brain is much better than yours! What kind of business consultant is this? I'll ask someone to gild him! Let's see who can nail Dongming to death this time! "

"Uncle Hong, do you mean I'm stupid!"

"Ah, that's not the case. I'd love to see you being tricked and abducted by Dongming kid every day and thinking that you have the upper hand and being heartless."

"Uncle Hong, did you grow up drinking pesticides? Why don't you go out to the paddy fields to kill weeds and insects by spouting water with such a poisonous mouth!"

The old and the young don't let anyone else, and the long-lost pecking mode begins again.

Lin Yuzhu and Song Yi, who were sitting next to each other, looked at each other silently, with complicated emotions and expressions that were hard to describe.

What about respecting the old and loving the young?
