Chapter 129 My heart skipped a beat
These two people definitely want to talk about Guan Youshuang again.
Fu Ruihua's house is not far from Peng Xiaoling's house, and Peng Xiaoling followed her over a few minutes later.
The two chatted for a few words, and the phone rang as expected.
Fu Ruihua pointed to the pendulum clock hanging on the wall and said, "Don't answer it yet. There are still ten seconds left, which is exactly 7:55. Round numbers are easy to calculate."
Fu Ruihua doesn't know how to check the call duration. As long as Dong Yongan is not at home, he always checks the clock by himself.
You have to pay money to answer the phone. This is an agreement that everyone knows from all over the country.
Usually, it is 2 cents per minute, but this Furui flower has its own set of rules, 3 cents for 1 minute, 5 cents for 2 minutes, and 6 cents for 3 minutes.
In fact, making phone calls is not cheap. Many times, people from other places call for a minute or two and then hang up after hearing the voices of their family members.
But because of Fu Ruihua’s regulations, when people call Fu Ruihua’s house, they usually talk for nearly three minutes, with a difference of one or two seconds.
Peng Xiaoling picked up the phone on time, and Huang Chunyan's urgent voice came out.
"Xiaoling, I won't talk nonsense on the phone. Please tell me, how does she treat Yuanyuan?"
Peng Xiaoling sat on the edge of the Kang in embarrassment and ate something. Fu Ruihua of Guazi said, "Sister-in-law, can I have a few words with Chunyan alone?"
Fu Ruihua glanced at her and said, "Okay, then I'll go out."
After Fu Ruihua went out, Peng Xiaoling hurriedly said: "I think you should come back as soon as possible, don't waste all the dolls for a few dollars.
After all, she is not a biological mother, she can treat Yuanyuan I don't know how good it is on weekdays, but the last time I beat Yuanyuan under the big locust tree, everyone in the village must have known about it. The beating was so cruel. Gee, we mothers definitely can't do that. "
"Why? Why did she hit my son?"
"Oh, the boy is naughty, maybe because he climbed a tree or something. In short, if you want to, Isn't it easy to find a reason?
Also, she didn't let Yuanyuan study hard, and actually asked him to go to the wheat field to sell popcorn to make money. Tell me, whose child is so young? Do this.”
“Have Yuanyuan taken the exam recently? Do you know how many exams he took?”
Peng Xiaoling sighed and said: "I haven't taken the exam yet, but Xiaofan said that Yuanyuan doesn't know anything and often copies other people's homework."
"Also, Yuanyuan is not as good as before." , I often buy random things outside, such as water guns and instant noodles. Oh, if this continues, will I know how hard it is to make money? "
There was a sound of slapping the wall from the opposite side, and Huang Chunyan said angrily: " It's too much, like last time I helped her decorate the wedding room day and night, and she treats my son like this?"
"So come back quickly and let Ruyi make money alone, you? Educate the baby well, don’t pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelons.”
“Okay, Xiaoling, I understand, it’s almost time, I’ll hang up now, and I’ll call you next time.”
"Okay, then go and get busy."
Peng Xiaoling hung up the phone, and Fu Ruihua came in promptly.
She glanced at the big pendulum clock in time, 7:58, several seconds had passed, and said, "Just give me 80 cents."
Peng Xiaoling was stunned and said : "Sister-in-law, I only answered the call for more than two minutes."
"When you answer the phone, you all like to take advantage of the one or two seconds. Hanging up the phone also takes time, and it goes by in a flash. I asked the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and they will charge one second per minute.”
Peng Xiaoling said with a smile: "No sister-in-law, I just watched it specifically, it didn't last more than 3 minutes."
Fu Ruihua said unhappily: "It's a bit unauthentic for you to do this. When you hang up the phone, I just came in, I’m not blind.”
Peng Xiaoling was angry, but she didn’t know what to say. After all, it was all because her family was too poor and couldn’t even make a phone call!
She took out the 6 cents she had prepared from her left trouser pocket, and fumbled around for a long time from her right trouser pocket, finally collecting 8 cents and handed it over.
"You said Er Rong's wife, she seems to be a very generous person, how can she feed the workers that kind of food?"
In normal times, Peng Xiaoling would have had a good chat with her, but Today, she really had no interest in chatting with this kind of woman, so she said, "I don't know about this. I haven't washed the dishes yet, so I have to go back." The sky gradually dimmed, and a few stars twinkled on the sky.
In the village, the lights are sparse.
The air is filled with the smell of earth, mixed with the occasional barking of dogs and the braying of cattle and sheep.
It was originally a very ordinary night.
But today, Peng Xiaoling felt very irritable. Suddenly she felt something under her feet. She kicked it away, and the thing screamed and ran away.
It turned out to be a wild cat.
With a beam of bright light, a car drove over at the entrance of the village.
There is also a tricycle in their village. Who is driving it so late?
Peng Xiaoling looked back. The car lights dazzled her eyes, so she raised her hands to cover her eyes.
The car stopped next to her.
Gu Errong rolled down the window and shouted: "Sister-in-law, have you eaten?"
Peng Xiaoling said in surprise: "Erong! Why did you come back so late? How dangerous it is to drive at night. "
"Well, I worked overtime in the afternoon and it's already past six o'clock. I want to come back to see her."
"I obviously miss my wife."
Gu Errong smiled and said nothing.
Watching Gu Errong drive away, Peng Xiaoling snorted and thought to herself: Men are like this. When they get married, they want to be tired of being with their wife every day. After a few years, it will be too late to hide.

In the kitchen.
Guan Youshuang is teaching Yuanyuan how to wash dishes.
For all his life, Yuanyuan has never washed dishes.
Because the large earthen stoves in rural areas are relatively high and the pots are relatively deep, Yuanyuan has to stand on the bench.
He followed the method taught by Guan Youshuang, holding a rag in his little hand and scrubbing the inside, sides and bottom of the bowl.
Because the bowl was too big for him to hold with one hand, he always pressed the bowl on the bottom of the pot and turned it slowly.
"Yuanyuan, you are eight years old. You should learn to do more housework in daily life, such as folding quilts in the morning, sweeping the yard on weekends, washing your own socks, etc. You can do it all."< br>
"I know how to wash socks, but grandma won't let me wash them, saying that I don't wash them cleanly, and that I waste water and washing powder."
Guan Youshuang said with a smile: "Okay, I'll tell grandma later. . ”
The two were chatting when the door rang.
Guan Youshuang lifted the door curtain and instantly felt her heart skip a beat.
Gu Errong appeared on the threshold!
He stood at the door, his chiseled face looking particularly deep in the dim light.
His shadow stretched very long on the ground, complementing the calm temperament exuding from his footsteps.
Maybe because it was cooler at night, he wore a loose white casual coat today, and he looked more handsome.
Although she has been married for so long, Guan Youshuang still couldn't help but say in her heart: Damn, he's so handsome!
Gu Errong also saw her, raised the corner of his mouth and walked over.
