Chapter 906 Flirting
After all, Tang Laijin's ambition at the beginning was to marry a young girl from a big city, and Yang Lijuan would do well anywhere, but her status as a widow made him hesitate.
But he is also greedy for Yang Lijuan's tenderness and consideration for him, and he is reluctant to give up.
Tang Aiguo packed up the bowls and chopsticks, put them in food boxes and was about to send them back to the restaurant, when a loud and long voice rang out from the alley, "Tang Laijin, answer the phone!"
Tang Laijin came out of the room, muttering, "Who is calling late at night..."
He found three cents from the change jar, and gave it to the phone booth in a while. Almost every alley in Songcheng City has a phone booth, which is the contact center of the entire alley. Calls cost five cents a minute, and receiving calls is free, but the call fee is Three cents.
So in the 1970s, if you wanted to call someone, you had to not only remember the phone number, but also report the person’s name and house number, otherwise you would not be able to find the person.
Tang Laijin is because customers often call, and the people in the phone booth are familiar with him, so he directly called him by his name. If he changed someone else, he had to add "what floor and room is No. **" in front of him, so that there would be no mistakes. .
After giving three cents to the phone booth owner, Tang Laijin picked up the receiver and heard his elder brother's anxious voice, "Third brother, are Xiaonan and Aijun with you?"
"Yes, we have already eaten, where are you, brother?"
"I'm here at the bus station, where do you live?"
Tang Laijin reported his address, "You must not be able to take the bus clearly, brother, you can find a tricycle, there are many at the bus station, and I will pick you up at the entrance of the alley when you arrive."
"I saw the tricycle, so hang up first."
Knowing that his daughter was fine, Tang Laifu felt completely relieved, and found a tricycle. When he heard that the starting price was 30 cents, he was so distressed that he almost got out of the car, but the tricycle master said it was more than 20 miles away? He had to sit down again. Tang Laifu's heart skipped a few beats every time he ran a kilometer. Afraid of reaching the third child? The tricycle master quoted a sky-high price.
[Before the 1990s, there were quite a lot of tricycles like this in Shanghai? The locals seem to be called Gawuchong]
Tang Laijin waited at the entrance of the alley, and finally waited until Tang Laifu paid the master the fare of two yuan and six cents. Tang Laifu's heart twitched several times. He didn't even have that much money to kill a pig.
"Master, go slowly!"
Tang Laijin and the tricycle driver waved. After the car left, Tang Laifu couldn't help complaining, "It's too expensive. If I had known I would have walked here, it would only be more than twenty miles away."
If it wasn't for thinking about my baby girl,
Tang Laifu is definitely going to leave. Is it good for him to buy meat for two yuan?
"You can understand? Okay? The more you spend, the more money you get. Let's go? I'll take you to dinner. Xiaonan and Aijun have eaten? Nothing..."
Tang Laijin took Tang Laifu to the restaurant and asked Yang Lijuan to cook some dishes? Is Tang Laifu hungry?
"Xiaonan's clothes are ready."
Yang Lijuan gave Tang Laijin the newly made clothes.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to dinner another day." Tang Laijin said with a smile.
Yang Lijuan rolled her eyes, "I own a restaurant, so do I need you to treat me to dinner?"
"That's not the same. I invite you to eat western food, take a knife and fork, eat steak and drink coffee, and someone plays the piano."
Yang Lijuan felt sweet in her heart, she shot Tang Laijin an eyeball, "That would cost a lot."
Tang Laijin chuckled a few times, and the two lowered their heads and murmured in a low voice, finally attracting Tang Laifu's attention, he frowned in doubt, why the third child and this beautiful girl were so intimate, he turned around and asked.
