Chapter 153: Digging a Pit (2 & 1)
Zhou Shuming looked at the door and saw that she had become a night shifter.
Their family lived in the far west, and she came out a little late, and there was no one behind her, but there were many people in front of her.
I saw that everyone else had gone far away.
Zhou Shujie also hurriedly grabbed the small stool and walked forward quickly.
When she walked to the entrance of the brigade department, she could be regarded as catching up with the brigade in front.
She followed everyone into the room where the meeting was taking place, and she heard a very noisy sound inside.
There was a greeting and asked, have you eaten?
What to eat?
Have you drunk a little?
There are also people who see acquaintances shouting to them, "Wang's sister-in-law come here, come here." β
Among them, Zhou Shujie also heard someone shouting at her.
She looked up and saw that it was Sister-in-law Guo and Sister-in-law Guo, who were sitting in front of them leaning into the podium.
Guo's second sister-in-law saw Zhou Shujie looking at them, and specially beckoned to Zhou Shujie.
The room was so noisy. Zhou Shujie was afraid that she was saying something, and Sister-in-law Guo couldn't hear it clearly.
Besides, she was not too embarrassed, and shouted loudly in public.
So with a grin, you raise your hand and wave at them.
It's like telling them they heard.
Putting down the waving hand, Zhou Shujie took a flashlight and sandwiched the small bench, slipped through the side and wore holes, and came to the two of them.
When she sat down, the enthusiastic second sister-in-law Guo said: "Why did you come out, when the two of us came out, we waited at the gate for a long time, and I didn't see you come out. β
Zhou Shujie smiled and said: "It's a little late to come out, when I came out, the child grabbed me and didn't let me go, coaxed them to stop, and slipped out while they didn't pay attention to me." β
Sister-in-law Guo also answered on the side: "Isn't it, it's time for your children to arrest you now, and when they are older, they will only know that they are running outside all day long." I don't go home until I eat. It's like my naughty boy. When you call him after eating, he doesn't like to come back. β
Sister-in-law Guo's words fell, and Sister-in-law Guo and Zhou Shujie laughed on the side.
This scene is not unusual, and it can be regarded as a phenomenon in the countryside.
Because every day when it is time to eat, many women will stand on the street and shout loudly about their children.
The children in the village are used to having a nickname.
People say that cheap names are easy to feed, so they are called everything, such as "dog leftovers", "dog eggs", "two donkeys", "old gada", "rich", "precious".
As soon as the meal arrived, you could hear the shouts of the east side of the village and the west side of the village.
The names they shouted were different, and they all meant the same thing, that is, to call them home for dinner.
Because the village chief and secretary haven't come yet, this house. These people in Wuyang are talking and chattering.
It's strange to say, we often meet when we live in a village, but if something brings everyone together, then even if the topic is opened, the conversation is very energetic, and you and I will not be cold.
If you don't talk and listen carefully, you can hear the buzzing noise in front of you.
Zhou Shujie: They are also members of this noise-making group.
They were all chatting energetically, and the village chief secretary came in from the door.
The sharp-eyed saw the loud greeting of everyone and said, "Don't chatter, our village chief is here, listen to what the village chief has to say." β
When everyone heard this, they all looked up at the door, and when they saw that it was really the village chief and the secretary who came, they all stopped talking, and there were two or three others, who were also whispering what they hadn't finished just now.
It's quiet in the room.
The village chief and secretary both had smiles on their faces, and they were very happy with the effect. It's not about what kind of official you want to play, what kind of prestige you want to show.
It can only be said that this is a manifestation of the villagers' respect for them, and as soon as they see them, their voices naturally lower and stop making noise.
This is really the work of the villagers who support them.
The two men went up to the podium in front of them and sat down on stools.
Speaking of the podium, I don't think I've ever introduced this podium to you.
This podium, in fact, is very simple, this living in the mountains is not lacking, that is, there is no shortage of wood, this podium is a large square platform ordered with wood, placed on the side against the wall, the table above is the earliest kind of long table with two tables in the school, and the stool is also the kind of long stool that can sit down two people, and the local name here is called "horse stool".
When everyone was seated, the village chief coughed twice.
The villagers knew that this was going to speak, and the people who were still chatting quietly also stopped talking and looked up and waited for the village chief to speak.
As soon as the village chief saw that he had completely quieted down, he spoke. "Today, I called everyone here because the secretary went to the township for a meeting and brought back a message. What about this news, he is good news. So, don't worry, ah, let me tell you. When you go to the market, you've all seen the light bulb ordered by the supply and marketing cooperative. Feel bright. I'm telling you, we're going to have electricity here, too. In the future, each house will be able to light up the light bulb. If you have a TV, you can watch TV. As for the details, let the secretary tell you about it. After speaking, the village chief said to the secretary: "Come, you can talk to everyone." β
The secretary smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll talk to you about it, today I went to a meeting, and at the meeting, the township chief said that he would electrify various mountainous areas." But this electricity is not available in every village, there are only three places, so let, the village chief and secretary who go to the meeting, draw lots. I caught one of these three places, and everyone said that my luck was not very good!"
As soon as the secretary spoke, a burst of laughter immediately rang out in the room.
Everyone felt very happy, just now the village chief said that they wanted to be electrified, everyone couldn't help but feel straight in their hearts, they were afraid that they couldn't hear the village chief clearly, so they didn't exclaim, and now they heard the secretary joking with them, and they were all happy to laugh twice.
As soon as the secretary raised his hand, the laughter slowly became quieter.
The secretary continued: "What about the electricity, I have captured this quota for you." However, we need to be born from our village. Isn't it necessary to pull the wires for this electricity, and to pull the wires, you have to use telephone poles. This telephone pole is provided by the people in their hometown. But the pit where the telephone pole is buried has to be dug by our villagers. I'm coming back today, and I'm going to count it as a pit at a distance of 100 meters on the road. I checked it, and there were about 500 pits. There are 200 households in our village, and each family has about three pits. But there are also some elderly people who are single-family families, and we won't give them a share like this. If you have a lot of strong labor at home, you can take the initiative, go to me and get one or two more, and behave well.
We have to dig this pit as soon as possible, if we dig it late, it will freeze, and our electricity will not be able to work this year. So I decided, let's put aside the work we don't have if we don't. Tomorrow with a spade, let's gather at seven o'clock. Starting from the entrance of the village and lining up in the distance, each family leaves a distance of three pits. Dig it all up in one day.
When the telephone pole comes the day after tomorrow, everyone should not be idle, they all follow the handle, and set up the telephone pole for him, and we will strive to complete it as soon as possible and electrify it as soon as possible. You think it's not going to work?"
Yes......
No problem.
All right!
The sound of shouting and walking sounded, accompanied by laughter, which was particularly lively.
Everyone laughed for a while.
The village chief, who was sitting on the side, raised his hand and pressed it, and immediately became quiet again.
I only heard the village chief say: "Okay, let's not talk nonsense, then let's arrive early tomorrow, don't save if you have ox and carriage at home, pull some people to go to a distant place, and start to row back from a distant place." The rest of the old and weak, let's line up from the nearest place to the farthest. β
After the village chief finished speaking, he asked the secretary if there was anything else.
The secretary smiled and said no, that's all for today.
The village chief nodded and said, "That's okay, then there's nothing else, let's just do this today, the big guys take advantage of the fact that it's not dark, let's go home quickly." When I go home with my wife and children, I also study hard (xiao, xiao softly) We want to be electrified, and they are also happy. β
After the village chief finished speaking, he got up with the secretary and went out together.
As soon as they left, the surroundings immediately became lively, and they all stood up, picked up their stools, and moved in the direction of the door.
Why do you say No, because there are so many of them?
Imagine that there are only 200 households in the village.
Each family had to come one, and very few didn't, and some even came two or three, so there were more than 300 people in this room.
You have to say that this house is big, and this house is still a big house built when it was a bucket.
It took about half a minute for everyone to get out of the house.
After seeing the old man at the brigade headquarters, he locked the door and went to the room where he was on duty.
Zhou Shujie and Guo's second sister-in-law were the last to go, they really didn't want to squeeze with others, so they waited for everyone to leave, and they only walked forward when there was no one.
While walking out, Guo's sister-in-law and Guo's second sister-in-law were still laughing and chatting about the electricity.
Zhou Shujie was also very happy, but she only listened to it and basically didn't say anything.
After all, in her previous life, she had lived in that bright era for so many years.
As soon as she returned to this era, she felt very inconvenient to not even have electricity, and now she is very happy that it is going to be electrified.
If these things don't happen, she can't even think of them, but now that she heard about the electricity, she remembered that there was such a thing in her previous life.
Although it is not the first time to experience it, Zhou Shujie still feels very happy.
When I came out of the brigade headquarters, there was still a crowd in front of Wuyang and Wuyang, and the crowd became less and less as we walked.
By the time we got to her house, there was basically no one left, only the three of them.
Fortunately, it was not dark yet, and some figures could be seen dimly.
Therefore, Zhou Shujie didn't hit the flashlight, not wanting to waste the power in it.
Sister-in-law Guo and Sister-in-law Guo were afraid that she would go home alone, so they deliberately sent her to the gate, and when they saw her enter the courtyard and close the door, the two of them went home together.
Zhou Shujie said goodbye to Sister-in-law Guo, closed the door, and forked the door.
When I turned around, I saw a candle light in the house, and when I thought about it, I knew that my mother-in-law was still asleep, and she was still playing with her two children.
Because she was in the window, she saw the shadow of a child dangling back and forth.
In the past, there was nothing in Zhou Shujie's yard, so there was no sound of people coming in and out, and now the chickens she raised raised raised also raised pigs.
As soon as she entered the yard, she could hear the fluttering of chickens in the coop and the cries of fluttering chickens.
The pigs in the kennel also crowed more and more.
Zhou Shujie pursed her lips and smiled in a good mood, crossed the sand fruit tree in the courtyard, and walked towards the door.
Clang, the door opened, alarming the three happy people who were playing in the room.
The two little guys, before her mother came in, lay on the edge of the kang and shouted loudly, mother, mother.
Zhou Shujie agreed in the field, and stretched out his hand to push open the door of the back room while agreeing.
She went into the house and placed the electric baton on the lid of the cabinet.
The little stool was thrown into the firewood by her when she was out of town a long time ago.
Turning back to the edge of the kang, the two children pounced on her.
Zhou Shujie said a few words to the two of them, and asked them if they had listened to their grandmother at home, and the two children said "yes" loudly.
Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law asked on the side: "How is it, what did you say in today's meeting?" β
The expression on her face was not relaxed, and there was a faint worry on her face.
This is also the sequelae of her past, as soon as she heard that there was going to be a meeting, there was a notice.
Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law was very nervous.
Zhou Shujie saw her mother-in-law like that, knowing that she was worried again, so she said with a smile: "It's a good thing, mother, today the secretary went to the township for a meeting, and the township gave three places for electricity. Wires and poles are provided by the township, and the pit where the pole is buried, but we villagers are asked to dig it. The family divided into three pits, and tomorrow morning at seven o'clock we will gather at the entrance of the village, and let us all take shovels and dig the pits. β
As soon as Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law heard that it was a good thing, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, as soon as she heard that she was going to dig a pit when the electricity was going to be turned on, she completely let go of her heart.
This old lady is a person who has been in a big city before, and she has seen everything advanced.
This dentsu is really not unusual for her, so people are not surprised at all.
also smiled and said to Zhou Shujie: "Okay, it's convenient to turn on the electricity, and it's much brighter than this candle when you light the light." β
Zhou Shujie coaxed the child while chatting with her mother-in-law, and said with a smile: "Yes, when the electricity is on, our house will be lit up, and we will buy a TV when the time comes." Mother, it's okay, you can watch a TV series at home or something. β
Granny Zhou said happily: "This is good, anyway, I don't like to go out very much, and when I have a TV, I can watch it at home with nothing to do." β
The old lady really hadn't seen a TV, but Zhou Shujie told her that there were a few houses in the village that had TVs, but they had been idle there because there was no electricity.
Zhou Shujie looked at her mother-in-law's happy meaning, and thought in her heart that this is the mother-in-law who has seen the world!
If this was an ordinary rural old lady, she would have asked a long time ago.
How much does this TV cost?
You can't buy it, it's too wasteful, and you have to save it for later.
In fact, if you want to say that many household appliances are available in those well-developed big cities now, there is no way to transport them into this mountain village.
Like, color TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, these things are basically available, but most people can't afford to use them.
Only in their village, who will get married with a black and white TV, or the 14-inch kind, will feel strange to watch a large group of people around for a few days.
Zhou Shujie herself was thinking, if this is really electrified, she will see if she can ask someone to go to the big city to buy a color TV and come back.
The color TV that can be bought now,She remembers that it seems to be called"Phoenix"Brand name,It's 18 inches,The buttons are all on the right side,A row of small Jianzi,There are buttons to adjust the sound and move left and rightγ
In his previous life, Zhou Shujie lived to be fifty years old, and his only entertainment was to sit at home and watch TV.
When I first returned to this era, I was worried about my livelihood every day, and I was worried about my children, and she really didn't have the heart to do this.
Now more than a year has passed, the health of the two children is getting better and better, and the family has money, so there is no need to worry about livelihood.
Don't they all say that they are full of warm thoughts**?
This is also the truth, she feels bored now, especially this winter night, it is still early in dark, and the night is very long.
This is powered on, even if there is no TV series, watching the news can relieve boredom!
