Chapter 94 Serial Mission: Light up the countryside
"It's that kind of special care."
Qin Jingru buried her head in Cao Weidong's arms, her voice sounding a little loud.
Cao Weidong coughed twice.
He felt that Qin Jingru was playing a very peripheral game with him.
Look down.
Qin Jingru happened to peek at him.
There are spring waves in the eyes.
The two looked at each other, Qin Jingru's cheeks turned red from embarrassment, and her ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was really interesting.
Cao Weidong said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You are still too young, wait until you are older."
Qin Jingru immediately retorted.
"Not so young anymore."
He puffed up his chest.
But her move like this actually played the role of teasing the enemy into his arms.
The whole person was as limp as a puddle of mud, confused.
"You're still saying it's not too small?"
Cao Weidong smiled and hugged Qin Jingru, lying on the bed, and explained: "You are not old enough yet, you will be fine in one or two years."
Although he is a thief, he still has basic moral integrity and knows what to eat and what not to eat.
And it’s good to cultivate slowly.
At this time, the alcohol was rising. He closed his eyes, hugged Qin Jingru, and slowly fell asleep smelling the smell of this little girl.
Qin Jingru was a little disappointed.
"I'm really not that young anymore."
She bared her teeth and claws in Cao Weidong's arms, but she made a fuss for a long time, but got no response.
I looked up and found that Cao Weidong had fallen asleep and was still snoring slightly.
Now Qin Jingru didn’t dare to move.
She just lay there, squinting at Cao Weidong's face, hoping in her heart that it would be great if she could stay like this forever.
As she watched, she felt sleepy.
He simply pulled the quilt over his body and slowly closed his eyes.
Time flies.
It’s sunset in the blink of an eye.
Cao Weidong stretched.
He felt wet on his chest.
Lowering his head, he discovered that Qin Jingru was sleeping soundly in his arms, with her mouth slightly open and drooling.
"This little girl."
Cao Weidong murmured softly.
He reached out and took Qin Jingru off his body, placed him gently on the bed, covered the fallen quilt, and then walked out of the room.
It's pitch black outside the house and the wind is biting.
He couldn't help but shiver.
It's so cold.
It's much colder these days than in previous lives.
And there is no heating supply, so heating depends on stoves or heated kangs.
I looked around.
In the yard, there was a pile of firewood prepared by Captain Qin for him. They were all chopped up one by one and stacked neatly in the corner.
He walked back to the room carrying a few pieces of firewood and found that Qin Jingru had woken up and was sitting on the bed in a daze.
"Wake up."
Cao Weidong put the firewood at the bottom of the stove, then picked up the kerosene lamp and lit it.
The jumping flames cut through the darkness and illuminated this small room.
"Hmm."
Qin Jingru looked at the kerosene lamp in trance.
Cao Weidong asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Qin Jingru said: "I was thinking about electric lamps. They are so beautiful and much brighter than kerosene lamps."
Cao Weidong was stunned for a moment.
"We also have electricity here?"
In the 1960s, the mainstream lighting tool in towns and counties was still kerosene lamps, and it would take another ten years for large-scale electrification.
Of course, this does not mean that there was no electricity in rural areas at this time.
As far as Cao Weidong knows, at this time, small hydropower stations have been built in rural areas to provide power.
Or if you are close to a city, you can use the transmission lines laid by substations.
Qin Jingru shook her head.
"I saw him in the commune."
"The captain wanted the comrades from the Power Supply Bureau to set up a cable for us and brought us gifts, but they said we didn't meet the conditions."
Speaking of this, Qin Jingru was a little angry and envious at the same time.
Cao Weidong expressed his understanding.
He suddenly thought of biogas power generation and said subconsciously.
"Actually, we can also power our own electricity."
Qin Jingru didn’t understand.
"We don't have a substation here, how can we supply our own power?"
Cao Weidong asked: "Do you know about biogas?"
"Biogas?"
Qin Jingru thought about it and her eyes lit up.
"I know, the production team showed a movie about biogas. It told the story of a lesbian who discovered biogas and could use it to boil water for cooking."
"What is the relationship between biogas and power generation?"
Cao Weidong explained casually.
"It's very important. Biogas can not only boil water for cooking, but it can also be used to generate electricity."
Of course, this requires matching generator components.
Moreover, small biogas digesters can only supply very little electricity.
At this moment, Cao Weidong suddenly had an idea.
Maybe I can light up the countryside ten years in advance and bring light to villagers who have no access to electricity.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded.
Cao Weidong's eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, the system directly assigned him a task.
When Qin Jingru saw that Cao Weidong was silent, she obediently stopped asking any more questions and said instead.
"Brother Wei Dong, shall I cook dinner for you?"
Children in rural areas have already become the masters of their families.
He wasn't surprised that Qin Jingru could cook, but what surprised him was that Qin Jingru didn't have to go home at this time.
Qin Jingru stuck out her tongue.
"My father joined the production team and went hunting to earn work points. He won't be back until very late. My mother also went to pick wild vegetables."
Originally, she was going to follow.
But when Cao Weidong came back, she found an excuse not to follow him.
Of course, there is no need to elaborate on these.
Qin Jingru jumped out of bed, quickly helped Cao Weidong raise the fire, and then ran to the kitchen to work.
There are jars of rice flour and oil stored in the kitchen, and there are eggs and fruits in the cellar. They are all still usable, but there are no vegetables.
This is not a problem for Qin Huairu.
She ran home and got a handful of wild vegetables, then ran back thumping.
Then it’s time to wash vegetables, wash rice, light a fire, and cook porridge.
Never stopped for a moment.
Cao Weidong wanted to help, but was stopped by Qin Jingru.
"Brother Wei Dong, please have a good rest. I will show you my skills today."
Having said that, what else can Cao Weidong do?
He opened Wanjie Mall, exchanged for a portion of braised pork, packed it in an aluminum lunch box, and walked back to the kitchen.
"Jingru, this is the braised pork I brought from the state-owned restaurant. I will heat it up and eat it together later."
Qin Jingru took the lunch box and said with a smile.
"I knew I could eat good food by following Brother Wei Dong. I'll post some pancakes. If I eat braised pork at night, I'll eat pancakes."
Dinner is multigrain porridge, scrambled eggs with wild vegetables, braised pork and pancakes.
Cao Weidong and Qin Jingru had a wonderful meal.
Qin Jingru patted her belly and sat on the bed, smacking her mouth, as if she was savoring the delicious food just now.
Cao Weidong walked to the kitchen, exchanged five kilograms of white flour from Wanjie Mall, packed it in a cloth bag and handed it to Qin Jingru, asking her to take it home to eat.
Qin Jingru said in surprise: "Brother Wei Dong, where did this white noodles come from?"
Cao Weidong patted the military green marching bag.
"I bought it from the grain station and carried it back with me in my bag. You can take it and eat it."
