Collection of the rich (2) calling cards used in those years

In fact, I didn't deliberately want to collect the calling card, but I accidentally put it in one piece, and it added up to an unexpected collection achievement. (raise eyebrows~)

Seventh graders, 🤭 (I seem to have revealed something...) People from before, should be very familiar with it, standing on a high stool with a copper plate, and putting in a green coin-operated public phone, this one, I used it twice, One time: Ma Ma ~ I forgot to bring watercolors, and the other time I called and cried: Ma Ma, my stomach hurts, woo~. At that time, she was busy with work, and entrusted the aunt of the neighboring school to help me pick up and see the doctor. After I reported to the teacher and packed my schoolbag, I walked slowly to the door. I heard from my aunt that he waited at the door for about 20 minutes before I showed up, so I quickly showed up. Take me to the doctor. It turns out that I have gastroenteritis and flatulence. No wonder it hurts every step of the way from the classroom to the school gate.

I don't know who everyone used to call with a calling card? Call family? To call a lover? Call a friend? Or call the pen pal you haven't seen before? laugh~

The phone card is the most expensive snack expense during my school days. It is like my spiritual food. Every day I go to every corner of the school where there are public telephones, the entrance of the canteen, the school entrance, the entrance of the dormitory, and the entrance of the offices of various departments, usually speaking love words. Most people will not be at the door of the dormitory😎, as for me~ time is not stable, when you can have space, you can queue up to call first (boys, have you experienced this scene too? ^ - ^)

When there are a lot of people, I am always afraid that I will not be able to arrange in time, and I am constantly anxious, just to have a few words with my father, and listen to my father say: How are you today? Did you have a good meal? Sometimes, when I'm in a low mood, I accidentally shed tears, but I can't talk for too long. After about three minutes, the senior sister behind will get impatient, eh~sister, can you hurry up? Always make me cry and laugh and say, "It's okay, Dad, I'm fine, don't worry, I'll call you tomorrow and end the call hastily."

Supermarkets, railway stations, and telecommunications bureaus all sell calling cards. Every time I go back to school from outside, I will buy one first. Before buying, I will look forward to it a little bit. This time ~ what pattern of calling cards will I get? (Like the expectation of buying a lottery ticket?) Sometimes it is the proposal advertisement of the Telecommunications Bureau, sometimes it is one of the objects in the exhibition of cultural relics in the Forbidden City, sometimes it is scenery, creatures, slang, etc. I personally like to get the creative works. Painting, because I don't know how to draw, so when I see people who can paint, I feel very surprised and powerful, and I envy the use of brushes to create different resonances.

When I get a unique painting, I can always look at the phone card for several days, and I can also pass the time with appreciation when queuing. People who don’t know think that I’m laughing like I’m calling my lover with a phone card, hahaha…

In the days when there were no mobile phones, I bought them one by one and collected them in recycling boxes. When a certain amount was reached, they were recycled. Until the appearance of mobile phones, people’s habits were changed and my collection was terminated.

Seriously speaking, my father's agreement with me has created the habit of calling me every day. The phone card is not only a proof of spending money, but also a record of contact with a lover in a previous life.

Have you had this experience too?
