Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In an open space below the dormitory of Daming Imperial College of Science and Technology in Xincheng, South District of Beijing, employees of Daming Telecommunications Company are constantly busy. They are going to build a phone booth here to facilitate calls between students of Ming Imperial College of Technology and their relatives.

    "What is this being built?"

    "I heard that a phone booth is being built."

    "Telephone? Is it the phone invented by Professor Kuang Xiong from the Daming Royal Institute of Technology next door?"

    "Yes, yes, telephone calls are very popular now. I heard that Daming Telecom Company has already transferred the phone lines to Songhu. It is estimated that it will soon cover the entire mainland of Daming. By then we can be here  When I called home, I could hear the voices of my relatives in my hometown thousands of miles away."

    "real or fake?"

    "Of course it's true. The day before yesterday, I went to Wang Wei's house as a guest. His house had money to install a telephone, so we called and tried it. It was indeed very convenient."

    "Wang Wei, have you installed a telephone in your home?"

    "Well, it was installed just a few days ago. Because my family has a branch factory in Tianjin, it was also installed at the factory. In this way, if anything happens, you can call us and know immediately. It is really convenient.  .¡±

    There were many students watching the excitement, and everyone was constantly discussing with each other.

    "Wang Wei, how do you use this phone?"

    "Yes, after it is built, can you teach us how to use it?"

    "It's actually very simple. There are numbers on the phone, and each phone has a separate number. We only need to dial the other party's number, and then the operator of the telecommunications company will receive the corresponding number, so that we can get through to the other party.  As long as someone on the other side answers the phone, you can talk.¡±

    The classmate named Wang Wei also explained in detail to the classmates around him.

    "Wang Wei, can we go to Songhu?"

    "It would be great if I could go to Songhu, so that I could hear the voices of my parents, wife and children. Even if I can't see anyone, it would be nice to be able to hear the voices."

    Hearing Wang Wei¡¯s words, Zeng Jiajun on the side suddenly became excited.

    He is from Songhu. There is a long distance between Songhu and the capital, and it is extremely inconvenient to travel there. During the Chinese New Year, he was busy with studies and research, so he did not go home. He missed his parents, wife and children very much.  .

    "Of course you can. Now everyone in Songhu has made calls. I guess there must be public phone booths here in Songhu. Or you can just find a relative or friend who has a phone at home. If you know that the other party's number can't be reached, just  That¡¯s it.¡±

    Wang Wei nodded and said.

    "Very good!"

    Zeng Jiajun immediately started dancing excitedly. He missed his family too much, especially his wife. These are all young people. Naturally, the beautiful wife at home is the one he cares about the most. Unfortunately, this is not allowed in colleges and universities.  He brought his wife and husband in.

    However, many students in the school have brought their wives to the capital. Although they cannot enter the school, they all rent houses near the school.

    There is no legal age for marriage in Ming Dynasty. Generally, when you reach the age of studying in college, your family will arrange to start a family, especially the students of Imperial College of Technology in Ming Dynasty.

    Although they are not as good as those who took the imperial examination, they are still the new academic elites and talents selected from thousands. They are also very popular in society. After graduation, their income and benefits are very good in all aspects.

    There are so many people who are willing to marry their daughters to them, and basically all of them are already married, but most of the female classmates in the school are not yet married.

    It¡¯s just that the number of female classmates is very small. After all, this era is still dominated by men.

    Not many families are willing to send their daughters to study. Even if they do, elementary school and middle school are enough. There are really few who go to college.

    Generally, the girls sent here to study in college are from wealthy and powerful families who are not in a hurry to marry their daughters. There is nothing wrong with treating their daughters as precious and spending a few more years studying and raising them.  .

    Now the royal family and nobles of the Ming Dynasty have begun to popularize and advocate late marriage and late childbearing, which will be arranged after the age of eighteen, because studies have shown that marrying and having children after the age of eighteen is good for the body, and the children born are healthier and better.  feed.

    This trend is also gradually spreading. For the health of your children and the health of future generations, it doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s a few years later.

    ¡°Brother Zeng, you need to write a letter or send a telegram to your family first to make an appointment.Everyone will rush over to answer the call.

    "I am Zeng Jiajun!"

    "It's really Jiajun, I'm your aunt."

    ¡°Auntie, it¡¯s really your voice.¡±

    "Of course that's my voice. Your parents, wife and children are beside me. I asked them to answer the phone."

    Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Zeng Jiajun was extremely excited. It felt great to be able to talk to his family and hear the voices of his relatives across a long distance.

    "Jiajun?"

    At this time, his father¡¯s voice came from the phone.

    ¡°Father, it¡¯s me, I¡¯m Jiajun.¡±

    When Jiajun heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

    "Jiajun, Jiajun, I am your mother."

    At this time, the voice of Zeng Jiajun¡¯s mother came again. She also missed her son very much.

    ¡°Mother, mother, are you okay?¡±

    Hearing his mother¡¯s voice, Zeng Jiajun became even more excited and shouted quickly.

    "Okay, okay, everything is fine at home, don't worry too much, study hard and take care of yourself."

    ¡°It¡¯s also a good place for me. I eat well and sleep well. I¡¯m also studying some new things with my classmates at school.¡±

    "Well, okay, that's good, study hard."

    "Mr. sir!"

    At this time, Mrs. Zeng Jiajun¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone.

    "Madam, are you okay?"

    "I am fine, and you?"

    ¡°I¡¯m fine too, I just miss my wife so much.¡±

    "Well, you have to take care of yourself, study hard, and don't worry about things at home. I will be filial to my parents-in-law and take good care of the children."

    "Thank you for your hard work, madam, I will be back during the summer vacation."

    ¡°It¡¯s not hard, this is what I should do.¡±

    ""

    Zeng Jiajun and his family kept chatting, and before he knew it, an hour passed. When he heard the voices of his parents, wife and children, time passed very quickly while they were chatting.
