Chapter 54

She Also Wanted a Perfect Score (2)

Teacher Tang said that her mother was the only college student in this village, and her score on the college entrance examination still held the record until now.

Jiang Xing was so angry. He didn’t understand why she got more and more stinky; she was just a bit coquettish at first. Jiang Xing poked her little face and said, “You stinky girl, wait for me.” He then went outside; nobody knew what for.

When he came back, there was a man behind him with a toolbox in his hand.

“We will install a phone at home.” Jiang Xing said. “After the New Year, I will often be outside. It’s too embarrassing if we keep going to the school to borrow a phone. It’s inconvenient if we don’t have a phone to communicate.”

There were not many people who installed a phone in their house within the village. The people there were straightforward, and there were generally not many people out there that they need to contact anyway.

Jiang Xiumei felt that it was a waste and there was no need to install a phone. But now, her son had a business, no longer unemployed like before. She gritted her teeth and decided to listen to him and let the workers install one.

After tinkering for a while, the phone was finally installed. But it would take two days before the line would be connected.

Jiang Xing picked up Jiang Xiaoman and told her to play with it, and asked her to memorize the home’s phone number.

“Give your friend a New Year greeting. ”

Her friend?

Jiang Xiaoman hadn’t caught up yet. She held the phone with both hands and obediently said “hello,” but the other party did not speak.

“Hello, how are you?” Jiang Xiaoman said again.

There was nothing but the sound of static electricity.

The other party felt like a boring gourd and did not say a word, but the call did not hang up – the line was still up.

Jiang Xiaoman glanced at the phone strangely. The way the other person stayed silent for a long time resembled someone she knew, so she tried asking. “How are you, little friend?”

“Little friend Yu Qingshi?”

Under Jiang Xiaoman’s continuous probing, the other party finally replied.

“En. Hello, Jiang Xiaoman.”

It was Yu Qingshi.
