Farmer's Struggle

Chapter 28 Phone
Ju Wenqi and his wife have already built the kitchen, and the big round table and stools are also ready. As long as they are not too picky, the school room is enough for banquets.

The Sun family wanted to save money, so they only rented the venue, and they did all the cooking and shopping at their own home.

Not only did Ju Wenqi and Zhang Yongmei not feel sorry, but they breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, they were not ready to make a banquet for others. If they were really asked to do it, they would be trying to catch the ducks on the shelves, which might affect their future reputation.

The entire place was rented for 88 yuan, and everything in the place was compensated according to the price if it was worn out. The Sun family did not need to clean up after the banquet, but Ju Wenqi and his wife came to clean up.

It only took half a day after a white banquet, and for most of the day, just tidy up and earn 88 yuan, Ju Wenqi and his wife were very satisfied.

In the evening, the couple were still happily thinking about how much money they could earn from being in charge of a banquet from beginning to end. Ju Jing and Ju Ling had pulled away from the joy of 88 yuan and started to plan some more practical issues.

"Our family has to secure a phone. Only people from other villages can book a banquet with our family if they have a phone number." Thinking of one, Ju Ling neatly wrote it down in a small notepad.

Ju Jing also snapped her fingers and said: "If our family wants to make their own banquet, we have to find the right place to buy vegetables and meat. It's too expensive to buy scattered items, and we can't make any money after all the trouble."

Ju Ling immediately added: "We have to wholesale wine and soda, we can't go to small shops to buy them."

"I heard that the restaurant charges by table. The dishes are the same, and the price for each table is fixed. We can also charge by table, but there are a few more steps, some are cheap and some are expensive. The people at the banquet can be chosen by themselves, so it will definitely be more attractive," Ju Jing motioned Ju Ling to write down what she said.

Ju Wenqi and his wife were stunned.They only thought about making money and didn't think about it so much. After hearing the calculations of the two children, they knew that they still had a lot of work to do.

After planning everything and making sure that there is nothing missing, Ju Ling reorganized. There are a total of [-] things that must be done. Only after completing these [-] things can their restaurant really open.

The first is the security phone.

It took four or five days to install the phone. The first call was to Zhang Yongli and asked her for the phone number of the beauty and hairdressing school. They wanted to contact Ju Min.

After transferring several people, I finally got to call the dormitory manager of Ju Min's school, and waited for a long time before Ju Min came to answer the phone.

Ju Min said that she was very good there, but only she knew whether it was really good or not.

Zhang Yongmei had to hang up the phone after asking each other about their current situation, mainly because they were afraid that the phone bill would be too expensive, and they didn't want to waste the money after talking about the important ones.

Ju Min said: "The school has a magnetic card phone. Later, I will buy a card to make a call home, saving you from wasting time calling me back and forth."

After chatting with Ju Min, Ju Ling stared at the phone blankly for a long time, hesitating whether to make this call or not.

It was Ju Jing who knew her well, poked her twice with her arm, and whispered with a smile: "You have already memorized the phone number of Brother Xiaojue's house, right? Call quickly if you want to call, and tell me if you are really afraid of spending phone bills." His number and ask him to call you back."

Ju Jing urged Ju Ling not to hesitate any longer, and dialed out a series of numbers that she had already known by heart.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. It was a very familiar hoarse male voice.

"Brother Xiaojue" Ju Ling called softly, as if she had a lot to say but didn't know where to start.

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then announced a string of numbers heavily, which was the phone number of Ju's family, and then heard him say: "I have a display here, hang up first and I will call you back."

Here, as soon as Ju Ling hung up the phone, Qiao Jue called her back, first asking about Ju Ling's recent situation.

Ju Ling said everything, and finally asked the question that she always wanted to ask: "Brother Xiaojue, why haven't you replied to my letter?"

Before answering the question, he apologized first, and then Qiao Jue spoke about his experience during this time in a deep voice.

Qiao Jue hadn't had a good time in the past six months.

Qiao Dongcheng passed away.

When I got home, I fell seriously ill, and it dragged on for more than a month.Qiao Jue has not yet recovered from the grief of losing his grandfather. Another accident happened at home—his father, Qiao Linfeng, cheated on a college colleague in marriage.

Qiao Jue's mother, Fang Qingmei, was also a teacher at that university. After knowing that her husband had developed an improper relationship with a colleague and caused the female colleague to become pregnant, she immediately filed for divorce without arguing or arguing.

That female colleague also has a family, and her husband is a high-level manager of a company. After learning the truth, Fang Qingmei was not as easy to talk to as she came to the school to make trouble.

Such a disgraceful incident broke out in the school, and as a school staff member, he would naturally be punished for being dishonest. Both the man and woman who cheated were suspended indefinitely by the school, and it is estimated that their jobs will not be guaranteed.

When things got to this point, Qiao Linfeng still refused to divorce, and even tried to use Qiao Jue to win back Fang Qingmei's heart.

Qiao Jue was the most hurt in the whole thing.He happens to be studying at the school where his parents work, and lives in the family dormitory of the school, and he can't escape the sympathetic or teasing eyes of others.

The divorce had been going on for several months, and Qiao Linfeng, who had been dishonest and misbehaving, couldn't win back his lover's heart after all, and the once loving couple fell apart.

Qiao Jue, who was not yet an adult, was brought up by Fang Qingmei. After the turmoil subsided, the first thing the mother and son sat down to talk about was Fang Qingmei's going abroad to teach.

Fang Qingmei also hated her colleagues' gossip and decided to leave for a while to sort out her mood.She wanted to get Qiao Jue an exchange student spot for him to go with him, but Qiao Jue didn't want to go. The mother and son argued for a long time about this, but in the end it was the more stubborn Qiao Jue who won.

Fang Qingmei just left last week, and Qiao Jue was the only one left in the big family. He also wanted to take advantage of the time before school started to adjust his mood.

Ju Ling's phone call was out of his plan, but he was very happy.

"I don't want to infect you with negative emotions, so I haven't written to you. I feel pretty good these days. I was planning to write to you, but you called me. Little girl, do you think we have a good understanding? " Qiao Jue jokingly said.

Ju Ling couldn't laugh.

She felt sorry for Qiao Jue.

Losing her dearest grandfather in just a few months, and the perfect family was also torn apart, what a blow it must be, otherwise she would not be able to cheer up so quickly.

"Brother Xiaojue, you have to take care of yourself. If you have nothing to do at home during the winter vacation, you can come to my house to play. I will take you to sell candied haws," Ju Ling comforted.

She said it very implicitly, in fact, she was afraid that Qiao Jue would be too lonely to celebrate the New Year at home alone during the winter vacation, so she wanted to invite him to come over to celebrate the lively New Year.

Qiao Jue happily replied "Yes", and started chatting with her about her studies.

Obviously what they were talking about was not gossip, but when they hung up the phone, they were shocked to find that the call had lasted for more than an hour.

When Zhang Yongmei was chattering about how expensive long-distance calls are, Ju Ling couldn't help laughing.

It's great that she finally got in touch with Qiao Jue.
