living in a mountain village

Chapter 18: Swan Goose Passes Letters, Easy Communication in the Mountains and Outside the Mountains

The village head asked the county head to have a simple meal at his home, and Lin Hao was also called to the house by the village head.Several people communicated all afternoon. The county magistrate admired Lin Hao's talent very much and hoped that he could work in the county.

However, Lin Hao rejected the county magistrate's solicitation. He said that he only wanted to live in a mountain village.

After the county magistrate was sent away, the village returned to its original state.The approval procedures came down quickly, and Zhao Hu told the village the news.A few days later, the staff who installed the signal tower brought the equipment.It was transported to Luoyun Village by boat.

The engineering team, which has been busy for several days, finally completed the construction of the signal tower a week later.The staff tested the signal and found no problem, then found the village head to settle the balance and left the village.

The cell tower was working fine, and the phone was finally able to connect outside.Now only Lin Hao and Zhao Long are using mobile phones in the village.However, Lin Hao's mobile phone is used as a clock most of the time.

When Zhao Long dialed Zhao Hu's cell phone, Zhao Hu's voice came from the fireworks.

"Brother, what's the matter, I'm busy now." Zhao Hu said: "Wait a moment, I'll settle it for you."

Zhao Hu's busy voice came over the phone, and Zhao Long also said busy. "You are busy with your work. The signal tower here has been built, we just try to see if we can get through."

"That's it? It's all right now. I don't have to wait for you to come out and talk about things like before."

Now that the signal tower in the village has been built, Lin Hao suggested that everyone install a wireless landline at home.In this way, you only need to insert the SIM card in the landline and you can use it.Of course, the cost must be much cheaper than a mobile phone.

Because he had mentioned the issue of children going to junior high school with the county magistrate before, so this time the village head determined the number of children who would go to junior high school and discussed with the county magistrate about the number of places.

In the name of the village, Lin Hao and Zhao Long went to the county telephone office to apply for wireless phones for the villagers.

According to the report form registered in the village, a total of 80 wireless landlines have been applied for with mobile phone numbers.Well, I have applied for the most practical voice package and can make 3000 minutes of free calls, and the excess part will be charged at [-] cents per minute.

However, in Lin Hao's view, there are 50 hours of free calling time per month.Should be enough for the villagers to use.

Pack more than 80 wireless landlines in two boxes.Lin Hao asked Zhao Hu to drive the truck out, moved the things into the truck compartment, went to the county party committee to pick up the old village chief, and was ready to go back to the village.

Wang Bin, who had been passing the time boredly on the boat, finally waited for Lin Hao and the others to come back.The old village head boarded the boat first, Lin Hao and Zhao Long came up with a big cardboard box, and Zhao Hu called Wang Bin to carry the other box onto the boat together.

After pulling all the things to the ancestral hall in the village, Zhao Long sent them out one by one according to the names of the villagers corresponding to the numbers registered at the telephone exchange.

There is also a telephone in the ancestral hall, which is used for the village office.Zhao Long told everyone.Two AA batteries must be installed when the phone is in use.

The villagers who got the Endless Assault ran back home one after another and took out two AA batteries to install the phone.Zhao Long asked every household to distribute a detailed list with the phone numbers of all the households in the village.

Everyone posted this list next to the phone.The enthusiasm brought by the phone also dissipated slowly over time.

Maybe the children in the mountains are very strong. The children who were a little too old and hadn't read a book only took just over three years to master all the content of elementary school.

When the end of August was approaching, Lin Hao gave the children a simple test.These children have mastered the knowledge of elementary school very well.

Because the county magistrate had already greeted the school, it went smoothly when Lin Hao sent the children to take the entrance examination, and everyone successfully entered the school.

Afterwards, Lin Hao took out his mobile phone and asked them to tell the family the news.

The telephone communicates the communication between the mountain and the outside, just like the tireless swan geese conveying the news from afar.The mountains could no longer block them.

When the family heard that the children had successfully entered school, everyone's gratitude to Lin Hao deepened.

Although Lin Hao is not a native of Luoyun Village, everything he has done for Luoyun Village is seen and remembered by the villagers.Now his reputation is no worse than that of the old village head.

Although everyone hopes that Lin Hao can take over the position of the old village chief, they also understand that Lin Hao only wants to live a leisurely and secluded life.

The children are also working hard in the schools outside the mountains.The children of the poor have long been in charge of the family, and they cherish the hard-won learning opportunity now.

Because they are studying outside the mountain, they have to live in the dormitory of the school.They can only go home once every two weeks.Therefore, every weekend, they will report to their families that they are safe, as well as their recent study status.

Zhao Hu recorded the sales of vegetables in the store according to Lin Hao's previous teaching.

Which vegetables are selling well and which vegetables are not selling well, it seems that the price of vegetables is high.

At the beginning, he still felt that these things were useless.Only when the phone was connected at this time did he understand the meaning of Lin Hao telling him to do this before.

After Zhao Hu called Zhao Long about the sales situation in the store, Zhao Long recorded all the information and handed it to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao readjusted the planting of vegetable fields in the village according to the sales form given by Zhao Hu.Those vegetables that are not easy to sell have been reduced, and those vegetables with better sales and higher prices have been expanded.Effective use of the existing land resources in the village.

Lin Hao told Zhao Long to keep in touch with Zhao Hu all the time in the future to understand the market outside the mountain and adjust the planting in the village.In the past, it was because of the inconvenience, coupled with the lack of information and backwardness, so all the vegetables that were commonly eaten in the village were grown.

Now Zhao Hu can provide the village with vegetable information outside the mountain at any time, and everyone can grow vegetables based on this information.

Because of the phone.The information in the mountain is gradually synchronizing with the information outside the mountain.The planting in the village has also been adjusted in time according to the information provided by Zhao Hu, making money seems to have become easier.

The swan geese can know the news from afar. Since the signal was built in the village, everyone can know the situation outside the mountain in time.

Lin Hao, who had been hiding in the mountains for more than three years, received a call from outside the mountain again on his mobile phone which had been left unused for three years because there were no signal towers in the mountains.

Although Lin Hao intends to live in seclusion in the mountains, he has no intention of cutting off contact with everyone.It's just that Jinshan has been there for a long time and doesn't think about these things.

Maybe it's time for me to go out and meet these old friends, but just to meet them.After all, now I like life in the mountains.
