A guide to get married in the 70s

Nanzhou Machinery Factory, Li Da Ye in the communication room heard the phone ringing. He picked up the phone and heard that it was a girl, so he asked, "Is it Ye Huan?"

"Li Da Ye, it's me."

"Hey, you finally called. Your mother has been waiting since yesterday. She can come here several times a day. She was still waiting here just now. I guess she is going to cook now. You wait, I will call her. You can call back in 10 minutes."

Li Da Ye hung up the phone and happened to see a young man passing by, so he called the young man, "The second girl of Master Ye's family called. You go to Laba Hutong and call Li Xiufen to answer the phone quickly."

Li Xiufen specifically told Li Da Ye that if Ye Huan called, she must be called to answer the phone.

She thought Ye Yongguo was too rude. If he answered the phone, the father and daughter would probably hang up the phone without saying a word.

Li Xiufen could imagine how the father and daughter would talk.

Ye Yongguo, "Have you arrived at the farm?"

Ye Huan, "We have."

"It's OK if you're there. Just work hard."

"Okay."

"Then hang up."

Then the phone was hung up.

She also wanted to know how her daughter was doing on the farm, whether she ate well, how she lived, how many educated youths there were on the farm, what their tempers were like, whether they were easy to get along with...

Ye Yongguo would never remember to ask these questions. Even if she reminded him, he would forget them the moment he turned around. So Li Xiufen repeatedly told Mr. Li that if Ye Huan called, he must ask her to answer.

The young man heard it and ran to call Li Xiufen.

Laba Hutong is just behind the machinery factory. When the young man was halfway there, he saw Li Xiufen and shouted from a distance, "Your Ye Huan called. Master Li wants you to answer the phone."

Li Xiufen came to ask if Ye Huan had called. When she heard that Ye Huan had called, she ran to the machinery factory, rushed to the communication room breathlessly, and reached for the phone.

Grandpa Li quickly stopped her, "Didn't you see that the phone was hung up? You were not here. I told her to hang up first and call back in 10 minutes. Please sit and wait for a while."

Li Xiufen was in no mood to sit down. She stood there staring at the phone. Not long after, the phone rang. After only one ring, Li Xiufen grabbed the receiver, "Is it Huanhuan... Didn't she arrive yesterday? Why didn't you call yesterday... Did you have a smooth journey... How many of you live in the same room? You seem to get along well... How's the food... Are you tired from working..."

Grandpa Li thought that since Ye Huan called, he had to tell Ye Yongguo about it. After all, she was his daughter. How could a father not miss her?

He ran to the workshop and told Ye Yongguo.

After all, she was his daughter, and it was her first time away from home, so how could Ye Yongguo not miss her? When he heard Ye Huan calling, he put down his work and went to the reception room.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the reception room, he saw Li Xiufen coming out.

Ye Yongguo, "Did you hang up?"

Li Xiufen, "Hang up."

Ye Yongguo said unhappily, "At least let me say a few words to my daughter."

Li Xiufen, "Long-distance phone calls are expensive. Let's save her some money. Besides, what can you say to her?"
