Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 487

Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Bringing Up the Most Inconvenient Subject

Hualing was feeling quite smug these days, especially after learning that Platoon Leader Chen had been commended for his achievements. The joy she felt upon hearing about Taiguo’s troubles was simply indescribable.

In celebration of Chen Shouwang’s commendation, she had made a special trip to the agricultural market to buy meat, vegetables, and fine wine. It was only proper to celebrate his achievements in a fitting manner.

She wondered how Cheng Su was taking it all.

As she put down her vegetables and heard the bustling noise from next door, Hualing’s curiosity got the better of her.

Cheng Su’s front door was wide open, and Hualing knocked before entering.

Cheng Su and Chunhua were deep in conversation while, in the living room, a man tinkered with something, and another person was speaking outside the window.

"What’s all this about?" Hualing asked, observing the commotion.

Chunhua replied loudly, "Cheng Su’s family is getting a telephone installed at home!"

Getting a telephone installed?

Indeed, the man inside the house was pulling a large box out of a canvas bag on the floor, which clearly depicted a telephone.

Ah, and it was the latest model, too!

Setting up a telephone line cost more than buying a wristwatch, over one hundred fifty, not to mention the call charges, it was several cents per minute.

In this era, although life had improved with the economic reform and opening-up, not everyone was willing to spend a lot of money on phone calls. As a result, people mostly communicated by writing letters.

But what about Cheng Su’s family?

As far as she knew, Cheng Su’s restaurant and company already had telephones. Now they’re installing another one at home?
