Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Installing a Telephone

 At around nine o'clock, Lu Jiaxin was chatting with Qian Xiaoxiao when someone suddenly knocked on the door. Qian Xiaoxiao went to open the door, and there were several unfamiliar faces standing outside.

 The man came and said he was from the telephone exchange and was here to install a phone for them.

When Qian Xiaoxiao saw the tools they had brought, he shouted happily: "Sister Xin, Sister Xin, come quickly, the people from the telephone exchange are here to install the phone for you."

She knew that Lu Jiaxin had always wanted to install a phone, just because there were many people who applied and were still waiting. Later, it was discovered that the fat aunt always tipped off Lu Hongjun. Lu Jiaxin now went to the telephone office to call her if anything happened, and she also told Su Heming and the others not to call her if nothing happened.

Lu Jiaxin looked at the people outside and said with suspicion, "Can you show me your work ID?"

The leader politely took out his work ID card, and after Lu Jiaxin checked it, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, anyone who dares to impersonate our telephone exchange will be arrested and imprisoned if reported."

Lu Jiaxin handed the work permit to the other party and said sheepishly: "I went to the telephone exchange two days ago, and the staff said there were more than 100 households in front of me and asked me to wait patiently."

Three years ago, the country liberalized the policy for ordinary households to install telephones. However, the installation and call costs are too expensive, and only a very small number of people with good economic conditions can install them. However, in the past two years, many people have made money by doing business and have installed telephones for convenience; there are also some people like Fat Aunt who think they can make money and install telephones. There were many people installing the phone, but the telephone office had limited manpower and couldn't arrange it, so we had to wait slowly.

The man in charge said that he received a call from the leader yesterday afternoon, saying that he would come to install the phone for her today. As for the reason, he did not know the reason.

Lu Jiaxin thought that Lu Jiaguang must have found someone, so she joined the team. Speaking of which, the eldest brother is so efficient!

 Because Aunt Fat has already installed a telephone, and the two houses are not far apart, it saves a lot of time. It was installed at around three o'clock in the afternoon, which also included the staff's lunch time.

Lu Jiaxin took the phone book and dialed one of the numbers. When she heard a familiar voice, she said happily: "Brother, my phone is installed."

Lu Jiaguang was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't you say there are more than a hundred households in front of you? How come your phone has been installed?"

 “Ah, isn't that the person you are looking for?”

Lu Jiaguang explained: "I've been busy these past two days. I'm going to finish the things at hand and then treat my friend to dinner. No, you didn't ask anyone else for help?"

Lu Jiaxin was just about to say no, when she thought of Hong Gu. It's just that Honggu is here for the first time and is unfamiliar with the place. Where can she find someone to install a phone for her.

Seeing that she was silent, Lu Jiaguang asked, "Do you know who helped? Was it the Xie family or the Su family brothers?"

 He knew that Lu Jiaxin was very close to the two brothers of the Su family. Lu Hongjun was also worried that Su Heming would try to get Lu Jiaxin's idea, but he thought it was impossible. One is that Su Heming treats Lu Jiaxin as his younger sister and does not do anything excessive; the other is that Lu Jiaxin is still young and has not yet figured it out, and now she just wants to make money and go to college.

Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, "No, I know who helped. Brother, I have something to talk about later."

"good."

Lu Jiaguang was worried and called a friend who had connections at the telephone exchange: "Yes, my sister went to the telephone exchange a few days ago and asked, saying that there were more than a hundred households in front of her who had not installed it, so she asked her to wait patiently. There is a telephone exchange today. The personnel went to install it, but I don't know what's going on?”

 “No, my sister didn't ask for help.”

A few minutes later, his friend called, and what he said confused him: "Lao Lu, yesterday the manager of the Friendship Hotel called the leader of the telephone office and asked them to install a phone for your sister as soon as possible. The leader of the telephone office sent a message today If so, your sister's phone number will be arranged in advance.”

 After speaking, he jokingly said: "Lao Lu, you don't even know that your family has such a relationship?"

 The managers of Friendship Hotel basically receive foreign guests, and their connections are not as good as theirs.

Lu Jiaguang really didn't know, and he was pretty sure that Lu Hongjun had no relationship with the manager of the Friendship Hotel. He smiled and thanked her, and made an appointment to have dinner together on Sunday. Because he was worried, he went to Guangming Road after getting off work at noon. When he entered the yard, he found Qian Xiaoxiao and the others watching TV. He asked in surprise: "When did you buy the TV?"

His family didn't buy a TV. It wasn't because they couldn't afford it, but because both of them were busy. Children have poor self-control. I am worried that they will watch TV all day long and not study well, so I simply don't buy it.

Lu Jiaxin didn't hide it from him. She couldn't hide it any more. The whole alley knew: “It was delivered yesterday.”

A smile appeared on Lu Jiaguang's face: "That's right. How can father and daughter have an overnight feud? If you need anything else, tell your dad to buy it."

"It wasn't from him, it was from my aunt, my grandmother's biological sister. But it's not confirmed yet. It will take some time to confirm whether it is my aunt."

Lu Jiaguang was confused when he heard this: "What aunt? Isn't your grandma's family gone? Where is another relative showing up? Jiaxin, there are a lot of scammers out there, so you have to be careful."

Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, "I'm not a liar. Yesterday she bought me a color TV and a refrigerator. Today I found someone to install a phone for me, and she paid for it."

Lu Jiaguang was stunned. This added up to five or six thousand dollars. He must not be a liar to spend such a large sum of money: "Did she come yesterday?"

Lu Jiaxin said: "No, she is not in good health and should not travel long distances, so she sent a maid and a personal doctor over."

Lu Jiaguang's heart skipped a beat. These two words, maid and personal doctor, would not appear in China: "Where are you, your aunt now?"

"Gangcheng, I heard Su Heyuan say that she is a rich woman. She just has no children. She was drugged by her adopted daughter in the past few months and almost died. It is very desolate."

Lu Jiaguang was very keen: "How did Su Heyuan know?"

Lu Jiaxin briefly told him the matter: "My grandma always thought that my aunt was dead, so she never mentioned it to my mother. I didn't expect that she was still alive and went to Hong Kong City."

Lu Jiaguang thought this was too much of a coincidence, but he had no doubts now. The other party is so well-known in Hong Kong City that he cannot be a liar.

“Xinxin, what are your plans?”

Lu Jiaxin did not say that she was going to Hong Kong City: "I still don't know if she is my aunt. Is it just a coincidence that she looks like her?"

Lu Jiaguang felt that this was most likely true. He shook his head and said, "All the information is correct, and you look like her. There are not so many coincidences in the world. Jiaxin, this Ms. Gu should be your grandmother." My biological sister."

Seeing that Lu Jiaxin didn't say anything, he asked cautiously: "Xinxin, if Ms. Gu wants to take you to Hong Kong City, will you go with her?"

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "I won't go anywhere until my body is well adjusted."

 “Is your body in good condition?”

Lu Jiaxin said casually: "We'll talk about it later. Brother, don't tell anyone about this yet. You might be mistaken."

 Lu Jiaguang agreed.
