On the way, Lu Jingqiu asked Shang Ze if he knew anyone who could install a phone.
Shang Ze's family had been in government positions for many years, so they certainly had some connections.
"Does Comrade Lu want to have a phone installed at home?"
"Yes, there isn't even a single public phone on our First or Second Streets."
Shang Ze laughed, "No need to worry, our neighborhood will be getting telephone booths installed next month. At that time, we can see if it's possible to get one installed in the alley of your residential area. This way, you won't need to waste the money. Currently, installing a phone costs at least three thousand five hundred, and that's if you know the right people."
"Our communities are getting ready to have phones installed?"
