Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.
Chapter 254 A telephone was installed at home.
After the transport team was officially established, Wenrou was mainly responsible for cooperation between Beijing and those rapidly developing cities in the south.
Not only that, she also named the transport team the Red Star Transport Team.
The main reason is that this name is more in line with the characteristics of the end of the year, and of course, it is also for the purpose of growing bigger and stronger in the future.
The transport team on the other side of the Gobi Desert belongs to the Second Transport Team of Red Star.
The second team is mainly led by Wen Jiguang. At first, they were mainly responsible for transporting mushrooms from the Gobi Desert, but now they have gradually started to take on other tasks.
Wenrou's original goal was to have the Second Transportation Team completely monopolize transportation in the Gobi Desert, since no one was more familiar with the Gobi Desert than their transportation team.
Meanwhile, the Beijing side is responsible for various foreign trade projects and cooperation with other cities.
In just two short years, she made the Red Star Transport Team famous overnight.
Now, more and more business is coming to her, and sometimes she even needs to do the screening.
She knew that reputation was the most important factor in making the transport team successful.
Therefore, she doesn't accept just any business deal; she will carefully evaluate each one before deciding whether to cooperate.
Now that both children are in elementary school, Wenrou sometimes asks Huo Yanchuan to pick them up and drop them off when she's busy with work.
Last month she applied to the telephone company for telephone installation, and it was only approved a few days ago. Today, the post office workers will come to install it.
The transport team didn't have much to do today, so Wenrou went home early.
"Gentle girl, are you getting a telephone installed at your house?" Someone asked curiously as soon as Wenrou arrived at her door.
In their military compound, only a few families could afford to install a telephone in their own homes. The initial installation fee was 500 yuan, and there was also a monthly rental fee of 4 yuan.
This 500 yuan is already their family's annual salary. Even if they had that money, they wouldn't be willing to install it.
Wenrou was leading the post office staff upstairs when she heard this and nodded, "Yes, it's more convenient to have a telephone installed at home."
She had already installed telephones for the two transport teams. Now that the children are all grown up, and Jiang Yan is about to take the college entrance examination, he won't be able to come back every day after he goes to university.
If he needs anything, he can just call home, which is more convenient.
We also need to contact my older brother.
If it weren't so difficult to apply for a private phone line, she would have installed one at home long ago.
"If we need anything in the future, can we call you from your house?" someone asked expectantly.
Wenrou glanced at them; she didn't usually interact with these people.
She has lived in Beijing for several years now. Every time she sees these people, they gather together and gossip about each other. They don't have anything productive to do all day and live off the meager monthly salary their husbands earn.
"Sure, just pay up." Wenrou knew their desire to take advantage, so she said indifferently.
She can help if someone has an emergency and needs to call, but if these people come to her house to call her all the time, she's not doing charity work, so of course she won't agree.
When these people heard that she was gentle and that she would be paid, their expressions changed.
"We're all neighbors in the same compound, and they charge us for a phone call? That's so stingy."
"Yeah, your family is so rich, why would you care about a little phone bill?"
"If we had a telephone installed in our house, I would definitely let all the neighbors make calls for free."
Hearing these people's words, Wenrou gave a cold laugh, "Then you should install the phone first."
These people are really shameless; they all broke down as soon as they didn't gain any advantage.
She wasn't concerned about the money; she just wanted some peace and quiet.
Who wants to be bothered by others every day, whether they have something to do or not? Isn't that just asking for trouble?
The post office staff quickly installed a telephone at Wenrou's home. After collecting the installation fee and monthly fee, the telephone was ready to use.
In the evening, Huo Yanchuan picked up the two children and saw Wenrou already busy in the kitchen.
"Mother."
"Mom, why are you home so early today?"
Both children were delighted to see Wenrou.
Wenrou would come back late at night, and early the next morning, before the two children were even awake, she would go out again.
The two children are also very sensible. They know that Wenrou is busy with work and works hard, so they always go to Huo Yanchuan or Jiang Yan first if they have any problems.
"Mom came back when she wasn't too busy at work, and I thought I'd treat you all to something nice." Wenrou hadn't spent much time with her children in a long time.
"Yay!"
"Then I want to eat braised pork ribs."
"I want to eat spicy fish."
Both children were delighted to hear Wenrou's words.
"Okay, no problem. You two go play for a while, and I'll call you when dinner is ready," she said gently with a smile to the two children.
Huo Yanchuan also came over at this moment, skillfully rolling up his sleeves to help Wenrou.
"No need for help, you go and rest, I can handle it," Wenrou said to Huo Yanchuan.
Huo Yanchuan ignored Wenrou's words and took the spatula from her hands, saying, "You finally get a break, let me make it faster for you."
Wenrou was shocked to see that Huo Yanchuan was becoming more and more skilled at cooking.
"You've worked hard these past few days." Wenrou knew that he must have practiced specially for the two children. Although he had done it before, he didn't do it often, so he was quite rusty.
During this time, he not only cooked for the two children, but sometimes he would also deliver food to her.
"What's so hard about it? Taking care of you and the children is what I should do." Huo Yanchuan not only didn't feel it was hard, but he also enjoyed this happy moment.
"I was busy with military work before and didn't have time to spend with you and the children. Now that I have time, I want to make it up to you and do everything I wanted to do but didn't get to before."
Wenrou was touched when she heard him say that.
"Mom, we got a telephone installed in our house!"
"Then can I call my maternal grandfather, my eldest uncle, and my little sister Tao'er?"
As soon as the two entered the house, they saw the phone on the table, and then leaned over the kitchen doorway, excitedly calling out to Wenrou.
"Of course you can. Your uncle's phone number is on the table. You can call him yourself."
Tao'er is the child of Wen Jiguang and Liu Xiaoyu. Her name is Wen Tao because when Wen Jiguang and Liu Xiaoyu met, the wild peach blossoms on the mountain were in full bloom.
Wen Tao is a little younger than them. Last time, Wen Jiguang brought her to Beijing, and the children had a lot of fun.
The Gobi Desert was quite far away, and Wen Jiguang couldn't come over often, so the children usually kept in touch by writing letters.
Now that they have telephones, they can call each other directly when they miss each other.
"By the way, Xiaoyan is taking the college entrance exam soon. I need to cook him some good food to help him recover." Wenrou calculated the time and realized that there was only one month left until the college entrance exam.
Jiang Yan has been living at school to study during this period.
He's thirteen now and already a senior in high school, and he's becoming more and more mature.
Huo Yanchuan nodded, "Yes, he's under a lot of academic pressure right now, so he definitely needs to take good care of his health."
Jiang Yan's academic performance has always been very stable, and he has basically been in the top three of his grade every time.
A genius like him is highly sought after by many schools.
Even before he took the college entrance exam, several universities in Beijing had already extended offers to him.
However, Jiang Yan still wanted to take the college entrance examination based on his own abilities, and his goal was to study physics at Peking University.
Wenrou respects Jiang Yan's choice, but she feels sorry for him because he carries too much on his shoulders.
After preparing the meal, Wenrou went to call the two children to eat.
The food on the table today was plentiful, and the children ate very happily.
After finishing her meal, Yun Yao said to Wenrou, "Mom, today is Jiang Yan's birthday. I want to call him."
Wenrou was taken aback when she heard Yun Yao's words.
"Oh right, today is Xiaoyan's birthday, I was so busy I forgot," Wenrou said with a hint of shame.
If it weren't for Yun Yao, she would have completely forgotten about this.
"I've already bought him a gift and sent it over. I'll give him the rest when he gets home," Huo Yanchuan said at this moment.
She looked at Huo Yanchuan with gentle eyes, her face full of gratitude, "It's good that you remembered."
If they all forget Jiang Yan's birthday, I wonder if he will be very disappointed.
Yun Yao remembered Jiang Yan's school's phone number, so she picked up the phone and dialed it.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Yan answered the call.
"I am Jiang Yan." Jiang Yan is currently going through puberty, so his voice is a little hoarse.
Upon hearing Jiang Yan's voice, Yun Yao excitedly shouted, "Happy birthday, Brother Jiang Yan!"
After she finished speaking, Jiang Yan on the other end was obviously stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Yun Yao to call him at this time just to celebrate his birthday.
Before Jiang Yan could even speak, Yun Yao couldn't wait to tell him the good news from home, "We've installed a telephone at home too. If you need anything, just call home, but you can only call after I get out of school, otherwise I won't be able to hear your voice."
Jiang Yan chuckled softly on the other end, "Okay, thank you, Xiao Yunyao."
At that moment, Yun Shu's voice came from the side, "I also wish Brother Jiang Yan a happy birthday."
"Thank you, Xiaoyunshu."
After the two children finished giving their birthday wishes to Jiang Yan, Wenrou said gently, "Xiao Yan, Auntie also wishes you a happy birthday. When you come home for the holidays this week, we'll celebrate your birthday properly."
Huo Yanchuan, who was standing to the side, also spoke up: "Happy birthday, Jiang Yan."
Hearing his family's blessings, Jiang Yan felt very happy at that moment.
"Thank you, Aunt Xiaorou, Uncle Huo."
Wenrou told Jiang Yan over the phone to take good care of himself, to buy whatever food or drink he wanted, and not to be stingy.
Now that Jiang Yan isn't around, Wenrou has become more talkative.
"I understand, Aunt Xiaorou. You should get some rest too."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yan went back to the classroom to continue studying.
Although he is talented, he also works much harder than others.
He didn't want to waste his talent, nor did he want to disappoint his deceased parents, Wenrou, Huo Yanchuan, and his two younger sisters.
"Xiao Yan is still young, but he's becoming more and more mature and composed. He doesn't seem like a child his age at all." Wenrou sighed again after hanging up the phone.
"Alright, he's always been a thoughtful kid, so don't worry about him," Huo Yanchuan said, putting his hand on her shoulder to comfort her.
"He's just too opinionated, which makes me feel useless. Since adopting him, I haven't been able to help him with anything."
The more Wenrou thought about it, the more she felt indebted to Jiang Yan.
"Xiao Yan is determined to get into the physics department of Peking University. I wonder if he will be able to get in?" Wenrou became more and more worried as she thought about it.
Hearing her say that, Huo Yanchuan was also quite helpless. "As long as Jiang Yan performs consistently, he will definitely have no problem getting into Peking University."
She nodded gently. Sometimes she even thought that Jiang Yan was so mature and steady, yet sometimes the way he looked at people didn't seem like something a child should have.
She even wondered if Jiang Yan's soul might be that of an adult.
However, she quickly dismissed this speculation; being reborn is not as casual as buying groceries.
Besides, Jiang Yan was a criminal in his previous life. If he were reborn, he would definitely do all sorts of bad things. How could he be as sensible as he is now?
Therefore, Wenrou is more likely to be the reason why Jiang Yan's life was changed because of her.
On Jiang Yansheng's birthday, not only Wenrou's family, but also Xiao Xun came.
As Jiang Yan's uncle, he certainly couldn't be absent.
"Xiao Yan, this is a birthday present your uncle prepared for you." Xiao Xun smiled and handed over the gift.
Jiang Yan thanked him and accepted the gift.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Upon hearing Jiang Yan call him "uncle," Xiao Xun excitedly replied, "You're welcome, you're welcome. I'm glad you like it."
"And me, this is my birthday present for you, Brother Jiang Yan." Yun Yao couldn't wait to hand her gift to Jiang Yan as well.
Yun Shu also quietly took out her own gift, "And mine too."
Upon seeing this, Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan also took out their birthday gifts.
To celebrate Jiang Yan's birthday, Wenrou even ordered a birthday cake for him, something that Yun Shu and Yun Yao had never done before.
Although Yun Yao had objections, she accepted it after thinking that Jiang Yan was her brother.
"Brother Jiang Yan, hurry up and blow out the candles, then make a wish." Yun Yao helped him put the candles in; she was even more enthusiastic than Jiang Yan himself.
Jiang Yan was stunned. Whether in his past life or this one, this was the most grand birthday he had ever celebrated.
"Thanks."
Jiang Yan looked up at everyone's expectant eyes, then closed his eyes and made a wish.
He had never believed in wishes before, nor did he care to make them.
Because none of the things he hoped for in his previous life came true.
Later he realized that if he wanted something, he could only fight for it himself.
After making his wish, he opened his eyes and blew out all the candles in one breath.
He hopes that everyone he cares about in this life will be safe and happy, and never leave him.
