Last year, God didn't give it a try, but this year is different, the wind and rain are smooth, and the members are riveting their efforts to grasp production.

Qiao Yibing looked at the busy members, everyone knew what they should do, and no one was lazy.

At this time, he already knew that what Father Qiao said was reasonable, but he was inevitably uncomfortable in his heart, and he felt that he had lost face in front of the leaders of the commune.

He wondered if he should find something to do for Qiao's father!

Two days later, Qiao Yibing suddenly found Qiao's father, hoping that Qiao Hongyuan would fix the broadcast.

Qiao's father hesitated, and only said that he tried his best, but he couldn't guarantee it.

This radio was made by Qiao Hongyuan, which is something that the entire brigade knows, and he said that if it is broken, it will be broken.

No one doubts the moisture in these words.

Qiao Hongyuan does not rule out "fixing" the radio, but the time has not yet come.

"Abba, the radio is fine, but the battery is fine. ”

"If the brigade can be electrified, it will naturally not be discovered. ”

"And with electricity, we can do so much more. "For example, the rice milling machine does not need to use traditional tools to scoop the rice.

There is also an electric grinder or something, as long as the finch wheat and sweet potato are powdered enough finely, there will definitely be more methods.

Father Qiao pondered for a while, and also felt that this was the truth, "Okay, I'll ask the captain and the branch secretary to ask them to run to the commune twice more to see if they can take a wire from the commune and come back." ”

"Abba, this time it will definitely happen. Qiao Hongyuan gently hooked the corners of his mouth, "Because you haven't asked for a reward for cotton yet." ”

Father Qiao nodded, he understood what Qiao Hongyuan meant, compared to cloth tickets, food stamps or something, it was indeed more meaningful for the brigade to be electrified.

"Well, I'll mention it when the brigade meets. ”

In order to be able to power on smoothly, Qiao Hongyuan thought of an excuse, saying that after the radio was repaired, the battery could no longer be used, and it could only be used with electricity.

At this time, the electricity bill was very expensive, and the poles, wires, etc. all had to be paid by the brigade themselves, and there were not many brigades willing to spend this money.

Even in the commune, only the commune office and the supply and marketing cooperatives have electricity, and the rest of the houses still use traditional kerosene lamps.

Chen Dongfang had wanted to be energized for a long time, and when he saw that Qiao's father mentioned it, he naturally supported it strongly.

"Well, if the income is good at the end of this year, we will apply to the commune to pull the wire. He thought that taking a part of the money from the total income should be more acceptable to everyone.

"I think the credit of cotton is enough to carry the wire with the commune. Qiao's fingers tapped lightly on the table and glanced at the others.

"With the power on, it is convenient to listen to the radio in the future, and there is no need to replace the battery frequently, which is less than electricity. ”

"In the future, when there is a conference or a program, it can also be held in the evening. And this wire is pulled, and it doesn't just take a while and a half, if there is no accident, it can be used for decades. ”

"By that time, the members might have had radios and even televisions at home. ”

There are indeed many benefits after the power is turned on, and under Qiao's father's description, everyone can't help but smile.

Qiao Zhenghuo pondered, "Then will the whole team have to pull this wire?" If so, how much does it cost?

"For the time being, the first team will be pulled, and the members will not be in a hurry. Chen Dongfang glanced at Qiao Zhenghuo, he wanted to pull one for his home?

"Let the members decide this matter. Qiao Yibing said lightly.

In order to electrify, the brigade really held a brigade meeting.

Needless to say, the educated youth must want to be electrified. It is difficult to say the opinions of the members, both for and against.

However, in the end, it was the team department that made the decision, and after weighing the pros and cons, it was natural to make the best choice.

The commune valued cotton very much, and as soon as they had finished the meeting to pull the wires, the leaders of the commune were going to come to the field for an inspection.

This time is just right, and it happens to be the time of the second cotton harvest.

The leaders of the commune walked around the cotton fields and found that sweet potatoes were still planted in them, and they were a little puzzled.

Qiao's father was busy explaining the reason, because he was just trying, and he planted beans at the beginning, and the sweet potatoes that were cut after the beans were harvested.

If the commune grows cotton, it can be done without considering the method of intercropping.

Liu Damin turned around, and asked Qiao's father a lot of planting points, Qiao's father did not hide it, and said it 1510.

At this time, Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Hongyuan were busy at home, and they planned to copy a copy of the cotton planting manual.

It should be much easier to pull the wire after sending the manual!

The brother and sister copied it in a hurry, and the handwriting became a little sloppy, and there were even traces of typos or revisions, but this is the case, which makes people believe that this is the main point they have summarized.

"Pull the wire?" Liu Damin took a sip of hot tea and looked at several cadres of the Gaoshan Brigade.

"It's not impossible, but your brigade is in the mountains, it's too remote, you need to bury a lot of poles, and you need longer wires. ”

"Your brigade has grown cotton, and the credit is not small, and the commune will not press back on the purchase of poles and wires, but the commune can not help much at this price. ”

"Our brigade wants to save up and try to pull the power line at the end of the year. Chen Dongfang immediately took over, it was nothing more than that they had to pay for the money themselves.

Liu Damin glanced at these cadres of the Gaoshan Brigade with appreciation, "It just so happens that the Meixi Reservoir is about to be built, and the electricity consumption in our Jin'an County will not be so tight in the future, and the timing of your choice is very good." ”

"Your brigade will work hard, strive to be rated as an advanced brigade, and when the time comes, what indicators will the commune give priority to your brigade. ”

Liu Damin doesn't give any actual rewards, as for indicators and the like, who is not given?

After all the cotton was harvested, it was already the middle of October in the new calendar, and all the cotton and cotton seeds were taken away by the commune, and only some scattered cotton wool was left in the four teams.

Even so, this bit of cotton wool can be used as a wick when rubbed and immersed in lamp oil.

But the mood of the members of the fourth team is a little sluggish, and after working hard for so long, they can't leave a little cotton, which is too annoying.

The other three production teams were still envious of the fourth team, but at this time, they were also a little gloating in their hearts, saying that they did day work.

In such a situation, few people complain about Qiao's father.

Qiao's father didn't explain to himself, but just asked people to pull out the cotton sticks, dry them, and put them in the canteen to store them as firewood.

And after the cotton is pulled out, it is necessary to plant large mustard greens, which can be made into sauerkraut at the time of the Chinese New Year.

"It's so infuriating. Qiao Jiayue came back angrily, and saw that only Qiao Hongliang was at home, and couldn't help complaining to him.

"Third brother, it's not our Abba's fault that we didn't leave cotton, it's Abba's fault for everything?"

"What else do they say about dividing the cotton from the commune, and no one knows if they don't say it, it's really a pig's head!"

Qiao Hongliang watched Qiao Jiayue keep complaining, so he poured her a bowl of warm water and put it on the side, waiting for her to say that she could drink it when she was tired.

"Third brother, who wouldn't be angry after hearing these words?" Qiao Jiayue was really upset for Qiao's father.

"Time will prove that our Abba is right, what are you doing when you are angry now?" Qiao Hongliang patted Qiao Jiayue's back, "Let's go, come with me to paint." ”

"Okay. Qiao Jiayue pouted, and as soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Qiao Zhigao running towards their house.
