927 “Pa-ger”

“Pa-ger? Is it a type of food? Is it a type of chicken? Does it lay eggs? Is it the capital’s local specialty?” Li Gui asked as she looked at Xia He happily.

Xia He took out a machine and switched it on to show Li Gui. As she used it, she said, “Auntie! It’s not food or chicken! This is a machine that’s like a phone, but it can’t be used to make calls. It can receive messages so it makes it easier to find someone.”

Li Gui had thought that it was the name of a type of chicken! Many places would give the chickens and ducks they reared a special name that was unique to their hometown. For example, the chickens they reared in their village were called Foshan chickens. The chickens tasted completely different from those reared in other places and their sizes were also different.

“Oh… it’s not a chicken. I have misunderstood,” Li Gui said, feeling embarra.s.sed.

She had embarra.s.sed herself in front of Xia He due to her ignorance. In the future, she should not speak about things that she did not understand. If she said something wrong, it would be too embarra.s.sing!

“I have also never heard of this thing before. I only found out when elder sister told me. This is my first time seeing it! Let me take a look!” Qiao Mei gave Xia He a look and pretended to be excited as she went forward to look at the pager, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Xia He immediately understood what Qiao Mei was thinking and said, “That’s right, Auntie. I also only found out about how to use this thing after talking to my brother. At first, I also thought it was a kind of chicken! My brother explained the functions to me for a long time but I still can’t really understand it.”

After hearing what Xia He and Qiao Mei said, Li Gui gradually stopped being so worried. They also did not know anything about this, so she was not that ignorant after all.

Qiao Mei observed the b.u.t.tons on the pager closely. She had heard of such a thing in her other life, but this was the first time she was looking at the actual item. It was small and the workmans.h.i.+p was exquisite. In the past, she had seen pagers being used in television dramas. Everyone would attach a small pouch on their belts to hold the pagers and they all looked quite cool. Owing this item made it easier for others to contact them.

“Mom, this is for you. Give one to Zhao Fei as well. The two of you can communicate using this. Then you don’t have to wait around for each other,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“No, no! I don’t even know how to read. How do I use this machine? You should keep it for yourself,” Li Gui quickly declined. It was obvious that this thing was not cheap. Furthermore, she did not know how to use such a high-tech thing.

Qiao Mei simply stuffed the machine into Li Gui’s hand and said to her, “Do you still want to earn big money or not? Do you still want to become a boss? This is what all the businessmen are using! You have to use it too! Otherwise, how are you going to contact those big bosses?”

Li Gui looked at Qiao Mei doubtfully. Li Gui only knew the other peddlers and she had never seen any of them use such a thing. Even the owner of the shop at the entrance of the alley did not seem to have a pager.

“Elder sister! Don’t you think so?” Qiao Mei turned around and shouted.

Xia He quickly said, “That’s right! Auntie! This is really something that every businessman uses. It’s very convenient! Let me teach you!”

Since Xia He also said that it was true, Li Gui did not reject the idea again. Xia He brought Li Gui to one side to take a look at the instruction manual. The instruction manual was written in a foreign language. It had been many years since Xia He graduated and she found that her language skills were a little rusty. She asked Li Gui to do other ch.o.r.es first and she would explain to Li Gui after she translated the instructions.

Qiao Mei did a check on the remaining machines. Each one was in good working condition. She planned to give away all of them as gifts.

Firstly, Qiao Qiang and Li Gui would each get one, as well as her business partner, Zhao Fei. Then, Xia Wen, Xia He, Xu Lan and Xia Fang would each get one too. Qiao Mei would keep one for herself.

Qiao Mei also wanted to give one to Zhang Wei. She heard that there was only one phone in the school that he was going to attend and everyone had to queue up to make phone calls. It must be so tiring to queue up to make a phone call after a full day of training. Qiao Mei could not bear to let Zhang Wei suffer! With this thing, Zhang Wei could easily send them messages and could then rest early.

The school probably would not care about such matters. As long as Zhang Wei kept a low profile, he would not be reprimanded.

The last one was for Xia Zhe. This way, Xia Zhe would be able to receive news from Qiao Mei whenever he went on a mission. However, the reality was going to be very different from what Qiao Mei imagined. There were likely no communication signals at the places where he went on missions. In addition, the army did not allow the soldiers to bring personal electronic equipment with them..
