Chapter 313: Go to the city to show off the many specialties and buy a fan
"When will it turn on?" Lan
"Yeah, I've been waiting all day."
"almost?"
The county's work was quite fast. Within two weeks, the wires were properly installed. Li Anle took a look at the wire poles, which were made of fine pine wood and had been carbonized. They were buried very firmly.
No, this is the third day that the wires have been put into the brigade. The wires, meters, and lights for each house are all connected.
Everyone was waiting eagerly for when the lights turned on. It was said that the power would be turned on today, but it was almost eight o'clock in the evening and the power was not turned on yet. Everyone was anxiously waiting.
"Anle, why don't you go to bed first and let your dad call you when the light comes back?" Shi Qin said to his yawning son.
"It's okay, Mom, I'll wait a moment." Lan
"I'm afraid not many people in our team will sleep at this time."
"No, just now I saw your grandma and your father were waiting." Li Guoxi said. "Anju and the others were squatting under the electric light eagerly. These children said that the light was so bright that it was easy to blink, but every one of them
Don’t even listen.”
"It's better for us to be happy and good."
Hahaha, because I'm not stupid, Li Anle leaned on the table and said to himself. "Fortunately, I told Master Dalong a long time ago that electricity is powerful, and it's very effective for me to speak in a group of children, saying that electricity is dangerous without opening my eyes.
If you are ignorant, even a fool knows that electricity cannot touch you."
"Bright."
"Power is on."
"The power is on." Lan
"……."
Li Anle was squinting his eyes to rest and was startled. These were the wailing sounds of several people in Anju. Not only their family, there were many wailing children, and even Li Guolei, who was in his twenties, were all excited.
Howling.
“It’s so bright.”
"No."
The brightness of light bulbs cannot be compared with kerosene lamps, especially the ones bought by Li Anle's family are large ones. The 100-watt bulbs are larger than those bought in ordinary homes. Li Anle didn't sleep well all night, mainly living with a few children.
He didn't sleep, yelled and made a lot of noise in the team.
Li Dalong and Li Dahu even ran to their home after nine o'clock, which made Li Anle speechless. Forget it if you are a young man, you are more than a hundred years old together, so you are also very excited.
"That's true." Lan
It's just a light bulb. It will be brighter at night and attract more mosquitoes. I'm so happy. When I went to the well this morning, everyone said that the light bulb was bright and that the whole house was illuminated. Some people who didn't have electricity turned on were a little envious and curled their lips at the same time. "It's so bright."
It's a bright house, but it's all money.
The elderly shake their heads, the young are excited, and the middle-aged want to buy smaller bulbs and light them for a while to save money. The words "power on" and "light bulbs bright" have never left the conversation at the well all morning.
"dad."
"What's the matter?"
"I want to go to the county tomorrow."
"What are you doing, having a meeting?"
Li Guoxi said, "Do you want me to take you there?"
"Um."
Li Anle said, "I want to buy an electric fan. It's so uncomfortable to eat on a hot day when I'm sweating profusely. An electric fan would be so comfortable."
"Are there enough industrial coupons?"
"enough."
"Then buy a Taiwan."
"We also enjoy the treatment of city dwellers." Li Guoxi said.
"Don't tell your mother yet, give her a surprise." Lan
"Um."
"Dad, do you want to buy two of them?"
"You and mom have one, and I have one."
According to Li Anle, there are two rooms in the house. They sleep in separate rooms this night, and one electric fan is not enough.
"Two?"
Li Guoxi Digu, isn’t this a bit extravagant?
"Dad, our family doesn't need this little money." Lan
"Fine."
Two units were two units, and for the small amount of money, the father and son agreed and drove off on the tractor the next day, saying that they had something to do at the agricultural technology station.
"I'm buying two sets of clothes by the way."
Li Anle found that he had grown taller and his clothes were too small and uncomfortable, so he just bought a new pair of shoes.
"Dad, the commune has stopped, Han Rongrong is also going to the county seat."
"got it."
Who would have thought that the commune met Teacher Qin Ke who was going to the county town again, so he happened to take him with him. "Teacher Qin, I heard that you are going to be transferred from our school?" Lan
"Yeah, go to the district."
"Ah, I want to learn more."
Qin Ke smiled and nodded. "Li Anle, you don't need a teacher to teach you English now."
"No, I want to study with Teacher Qin for a few more years."
Li Anle said heartily, "Well, I'm still very humble. I usually don't reveal anything that surpasses Qin Ke."
"Teacher Qin Ke, will you still teach when you go to the district?"
Li Anle asked curiously, and Qin Xiaoxiao said, "No, I will be transferred to the regional revolutionary committee. Maybe I will go to the Canton Fair with the regional delegation in the autumn."
】
"Canton Fair, no wonder."
Now I am working as a translator. It is a good job, the salary is high, and I can also do some new things. I am afraid that my relatives and friends will fawn over me.
"Teacher Qin congratulates you."
"Actually, it's nothing. The salary is higher. I haven't been sleeping well these days. I'm always worried that I can't do this job well." Qin Ke said. "When you have time, come over and help me with the conversation."
"I usually can't find anyone to practice conversation with."
"Then let's start now."
"That's great." Lan
Originally, Li Anle and Qin Ke were practicing speaking, but Han Rongrong was added to the mix, and finally it became a threesome. I must be my teacher.
"Qin Ke, you are so good-looking."
"Uh-huh."
Li Anle admitted that compared to Han Rongrong, although she was not bad looking, she was still younger, her body had not grown out, she had no flesh, and she was basically unattractive. Compared to Teacher Qin, after all, she looked pretty, big or fat.
"snort."
Han Rongrong snorted, and Li Anle was confused. To be honest, he wasn't happy to hear it. She was indeed a woman.
"What did you buy in the county town?" Lan
"Let's buy an electric fan."
Li Anle said proudly. "Now that our team has electricity, we will buy an electric fan and we will be comfortable this summer."
"An electric fan, I thought it was a good thing to buy."
I'm too lazy to talk to you. It's great that you have an electric fan at home. It burns out sooner or later, and the heat produces oil.
"It's a pity that my father or mother would have brought the refrigerator and washing machine over."
Han Rongrong said with a look of helplessness, and saw Li Anle pouting. "There is also a TV. I like to watch cartoons the most."
"Haha." Lan
"childish."
Li Anle is disdainful and doesn't watch it himself. Of course, he mainly doesn't watch it. As a mature boy, cartoons, haha, unless you show it to me, I will never watch it.
"cut."
Han Rongrong said in her heart that she didn't know who was naive. "You said Teacher Qin, are you really not coming back?"
"What are you doing back here?"
Lishan Middle School is not a good place. Who would stay in a commune if they could go somewhere? Isn't it stupid? "I'm afraid I won't come back. I went to the Canton Fair and met the world. There are a few people who are willing to come back."
"That's true." Lan
Han Rongrong smiled and said, "Do you want to go?"
"Canton Fair?"
"Forget it, I'm still young."
Do you want to go or not? The question is what are you going to do as a little kid? If you can't sell mushrooms, forget it. Let's wait until the policy is safer. Safety comes first. Li Anle doesn't know if Han Rongrong's parents will be affected by the big event next year.
.
Let's play it safe first, and don't take advantage so we won't suffer a loss. Let's wait until we are more stable and then take advantage with peace of mind.
"You really don't want to go?"
"If you don't go, you'll be beaten to death." Lan
Li Anle said. "There are too many things to do, including health check-up of piglets, planting of corn and sorghum, and research on cold-resistant vegetable seeds. There is nothing we can do."
"I always feel that what you said are all excuses."
"You know and you still ask."
I really don’t have any discernment, so I might as well add three to Teacher Qin’s.
"arrive."
The tractor stopped at the entrance of the small courtyard where my sister-in-law and eldest sister lived. It happened to be a coincidence. The eldest sister, sister-in-law, and Zhu Min were all resting. The three of them were discussing where to go to play, and Li Anle and the others arrived.
"Sister-in-law, eldest sister, Aunt Xiaomin." Lan
"elder sister."
Zhu Min was helpless, auntie, she felt so old.
"Sister Xiao Min."
"Anle, don't be naughty, why are you here?"
The eldest sister Li Qi asked with a smile. "Come in and cool down quickly."
"Sister, have you bought an electric fan?"
"No." Lan
After entering the house to cool down, Li Anle thought there was an electric fan, but it turned out to be a cattail leaf fan.
"Then why not buy one."
"Electric fans are so expensive, the cheapest one costs 130."
Li Ju rolled her eyes at Li Anle. "We just bought a bicycle, but we don't have any money to buy an electric fan."
"me too."
Seeing Li Anle looking at her, Zhu Min whispered, "I also bought a bicycle." Originally, the three of them planned to ride bicycles to go around.
"Okay, forget that your salary is not high." Lan
Li Anle had a look of realization on his face, and inevitably provoked a few people to slap him twice. This person really likes to make people angry. Han Rongrong said. "Hit him a few more times, this person loves to make people angry the most."
"I'm just kidding."
Don't make trouble, Li Anle is really afraid that Han Rongrong will get involved. If a fight happens, he will feel uncomfortable.
"Well, Anle, you haven't said what you're here for yet?"
"I'm here to buy an electric fan."
Li Anle said proudly. "Sister-in-law, eldest sister, you don't know, right? Our brigade got power the day before yesterday."
"Really?" Lan
"So fast?"
"No, except for a few families, almost every household now has electric lights."
"Very good."
"I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
The two of them heard that power was going to be turned on last time they went back, but they didn't expect it to be turned on so soon.
"It's a pity that we don't have that much money, so we might as well buy an electric fan and take it back with us."
"Sister-in-law, don't buy it. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll take you to the department store to return the goods." Li Anle said. "My grandma didn't agree with the power supply this time. Grandpa still had to do it."
"That's true."
Li Ju stuck out her tongue, "Well, if her mother knew that she spent more than a hundred yuan to buy something that consumes electricity, she might not be able to sleep well."
Several people were so happy that they completely forgot about Li Guoxi.
"Fourth brother, drink tea."
"I came here by myself. By the way, I brought you some watermelons, melons, vegetables and so on."
"Hey, you are just talking too much."
Li An smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, eldest sister, sister Xiaomin, I brought you watermelons. I grew them all myself. They are so sweet."
"Why do you bring so many?"
There were about a dozen watermelons, five or six with green skins each weighing more than ten or twenty pounds, and a few with flowery skins weighing about seven or eight pounds each.
"Bring a few more so you can eat them when you're thirsty."
In addition to watermelons, there are also melons, cantaloupes, and cucumbers for cooking. There are baskets of other vegetables, plus a piece of bacon marinated by Xiaobai. When I see the bacon, I think of Xiaobai. What a good pig. The meat is really good.
Very fragrant.
"These are the pickles brought by Naihe."
Pickled vegetables, pickled peppers, cucumbers, etc. are better. "I just brought some last time, and I haven't finished them yet."
"Save more." Lan
"Next time, I'll bring you salted duck eggs."
Li Anle took out the eggs, about twenty. He didn't dare to bring too many as they would easily spoil on this day. "Sister, look at the eggs I made. They can be kept for a long time. Eat them tightly first.
.”
"Why do you bring so many things?"
"A gift from someone else."
Li An smiled and said, "The house is full of them."
"Oh, I can't finish the food."
It’s so irritating. Zhu Minxin said what Rongrong said just now is so right. What Anle said is really irritating.
"Sister Xiaomin, what's wrong with you?"
Why are your chest muscles so bulging? Li Anle Digu.
"It's okay, I'll take a breath."
Zhu Min's teeth were itching with hatred. It was so irritating. It was hard for others to eat such good things in one go, but he still thought he couldn't finish them. This was just a human saying.
