My village can't be like this

Chapter 78 Install a Phone

Zhang An has never had the experience of crossing a cow's nose. He didn't like to join in the fun before, and he went out to work not long after the college entrance examination.

Because at that time Zhang Jianguo entrusted someone to find a relationship, and planned to find Zhang An a job in the town where he could go to work, but there was no news after that.

So today Zhang An is quite interested in wearing a cow's nose, and came to the drying yard early to see how everyone is wearing it, but in fact there are no people in the drying yard, so some people came to help.

The children in the village were not interested in this and did not come over.

At this time, the little yellow ox in Huang Erye's family had been tied by the head with a rope, pulled to the drying yard and tied to a stake.

I don't know if I don't listen to it. After listening to the old people next to me, it turns out that I have to choose a day for wearing a cow nose.

Soon, the villagers came over with ropes and tied up the little ox's four feet.

It was pinned to the ground and could not move, and there were two people beside it pressing down on the calf's head to prevent it from moving.

The main reason is that there is no special stake for tying cattle in the village, otherwise so many people would not be needed.

There are more people to keep the calf from moving around, otherwise, when the nose is pierced, the nose will be pierced, and the cow will be useless.

I only saw Erye Huang holding a long thing, which looked like a big and long needle, much longer than what Mammy Rong was holding.

But when Zhang An looked at it, it didn't look like iron, but it looked like wood.

One end is sharpened, and the other end has a small hole, which seems to be used for threading a rope.

At this time, Zhang An saw Huang Erye carrying a big bowl over, struck a match and lit it up.

This thing should be white wine, otherwise it would burn at a little bit.

Huang Erye took the white wine boiled in the bowl and bathed the "big needle" all over his body.

Zhang An knew that this was to sterilize the "big needle", using high-temperature alcohol to do a double disinfection of the "big needle".

Finally, I started today's topic, which is to wear a cow's nose for the little scalper.

At this time, the little scalper had been held down by everyone and could not move. Huang Erye took a "big needle" and stabbed it hard from one of its nostrils.

Amidst the calf's painful cries, Erye Huang pulled out the "big needle". The rope also entered through one nostril and exited through the other nostril.

This cry can make people feel how painful it is.

In this way, the nose piercing of the little ox was completed.

After tying up the worn rope and tying a knot, everyone let the calf go.

When I went back, I still pulled the original rope tied to the calf's head, without the nose rope.

The old people said that this is a cow nose that has just been put on, and it is a fresh wound, so you can't pull it right away, you have to wait until the wound is healed before you pull it.

And the big needle is made of a relatively hard tree, which is specially used to pierce the nose of cattle. It is much better than iron, so you don't have to worry about rusting.

Fortunately, I don't have a cow in my house, so I don't need to put a nose rope on it.

Although Zhang An knew that piercing the calf's nose was to better control and tame it, Zhang An felt very painful just looking at it.

The pack horses are much luckier in comparison, and they only need to tie the reins on their heads.

Zhang An was about to go home from the drying yard, but when he walked to the intersection, he met a big brother on a motorcycle who asked him for directions.

Although there have been more people riding motorcycles in the town in the past two years, this kind of thing is not something that ordinary people are willing to buy, after all, it costs several thousand yuan.

"Brother, please tell me how to get to Zhang An's house in your village."

The eldest brother is carrying an army green satchel, which is full of stuff.

Zhang An didn't expect this person to ask him the way, but he was asking how to get to his home.

"Brother, I am Zhang An, what's the matter with you?"

Zhang An was a little curious, Zhang An didn't know the person in front of him.

"Oh, you are Zhang An. I am from the county telecommunications bureau. The task I assigned today is to install a landline phone for your home."

As soon as the eldest brother heard that the person in front of him was Zhang An, he warmed up and handed Zhang An the cigarette in his hand.

This attitude is too good. You must know that not only is it expensive to install a telephone these days, but the key is that the people in these telecommunications bureaus are not savages.

"Thank you, brother. I don't smoke. Brother, did you go to the wrong place? My family has never had a telephone installed."

Zhang An was a little confused. Although he planned to install a landline soon, this person came to his door before he went to do it.

"Brother Zhang, it's like this. A Mr. Chen Ze handled this matter. I don't know the details. Mr. Chen said that if you have something on your side, you can pretend to call him."

The telecommunications brother explained to Zhang An, and Zhang An knew it. It turned out that Chen Ze went to do it for himself. Now in this small county in the mountainous area, if Zhang An finds someone to install the phone, he may have to arrange a number.

The Telecommunications Bureau at this time was not the telecommunications company of the later generations, but an exclusive department under the Post and Telecommunications Bureau that specialized in the installation and charging of landline phones.

With no more doubts in his mind, Zhang An took his telecom brother and walked home.

In Changqing Village, a telephone was installed, and later Zhang Xinmin's canteen also installed the first private telephone in the village.

Therefore, it is not very cumbersome to install the phone in Zhang An's house, and the professional things are left to professional people.

Zhang An also only lends a helping hand when his eldest brother needs help.

In the afternoon, the installation of the landline was finished, but the phone was still unavailable at this time, and we had to wait for the big brother of the telecom to debug it, and then go back to the telecom bureau to activate the number before it can be used.

The phone was installed in Zhang An's room, which was suggested by Wang Fang, because Zhang An often used the phone at home.

The installation of a telephone in Zhang An's house in the village has attracted the attention of many people.

For them, this phone is the first privately installed phone in Changqing Village.

When the telecommunications brother was pulling the line, many people reached out to help, taking the opportunity to ask people about this and that, this big brother also patiently talked to everyone.

In the past, when Zhang Xinmin installed a telephone in his home, everyone came to watch, but at that time, the people from the telecommunications bureau seemed to be superior.

After the installation, Zhang An poured a cup of tea for the telecom brother.

After getting along in the afternoon, Zhang An knew that the eldest brother was Deng Kuan.

"Brother Deng Kuan, how much does it cost to install the landline? I'll get you the money."

Only now did Zhang An ask. Originally, he should have asked at the beginning, but the problems brought about by later generations have not been corrected, and he only asked about the price after consumption.

"Brother Zhang, you don't need to pay. Mr. Chen has already paid the money. Please remember this number. This will be the number of your landline in the future. I will go back and activate it today, and it will be available tomorrow at the latest."

After Deng Kuan left, many people came to Zhang An's house to play.

Installing a phone at this time costs a lot of money. Zhang An asked just now that the installation of the phone requires 1680 yuan, and the phone needs to be charged 228, which is already 2000 yuan less.

Now, it costs more than 500 yuan to buy a TV, so the phone is considered a big item.

But Zhang An's family bought a car, so everyone is somewhat immune to this matter.

After all, no matter how expensive a phone is, it is not as expensive as a car.

When Deng Kuan came to the yard just now, he was a little surprised when he saw the car parked in the carport.

He was even more polite to Zhang An, because even in their telecommunications bureau, few people could drive a car, let alone in such a mountainous village.

After seeing off everyone, Zhang An's family became quiet.

I heard a sound coming from the yard next door.

"Laifu, you should be more diligent in the future. Our family also installs a telephone and buys a car. I will piss them off."

Diagonally opposite Li Laifu, mother and son, were trembling with anger in their yard.

Because everyone knew that Zhang An's family and Li Laifu's family were at odds, and they looked like they were in conflict.

But Zhang An's family is getting more and more prosperous every day, so when everyone went out, those old ladies who didn't get along well with Li Zhang's family spoke loudly when they walked to the door of Li Laifu's house.

Why is there such a big gap between people and their families? Some people are polite and amiable to others, and their lives are getting better and better, while some people grab people every day and swear, and their lives are not as good as they are.

When these old ladies speak, they don't show affection, they don't name names, and they don't even use a dirty word, but the old lady next door is very angry when they hear it.

The most angry thing is that she clearly knows that these people are talking about her family, but she still can't answer.

The most important thing is that these people are not afraid of her. If she dares to get angry, these old ladies dare to let go of their firepower and quarrel with her.

So there was that mother-son conversation in the yard.

Although it wasn't very loud, Zhang An could still hear it clearly when he was sitting in the yard.

"Mom, what kind of work do I have to do? Don't talk about installing a phone and buying a car. How can we compare with others? They eat meat regardless of Chinese New Year and holidays. They have food every day. You are too. If you didn't offend me before His family, then our family is now the same as the previous ones, and they will order what they eat."

puff~
Hearing this, Zhang An spit out the tea in his mouth.

Why are these words so familiar?I just remembered what those young people in later generations said.

What can I compare with him, people eat KFC regardless of the day of the week.

This Li Laifu is also a talent.

"You child, why did you talk to your mother? Who am I for? It's not for you. Think about it for yourself when you were young and couldn't beat him and still provoke him. It's not for you. I can do it. , now you are better off, blame your mother."

The old woman was very upset when she heard her son blame herself.

But this is what Li Laifu said in his heart. If his mother hadn't offended him to the end, he might as well let Zhang An drive him.

Zhang An's family is famously generous to their relatives and friends, except for their own family.
