As the group of them had gone home, the village was asked for electricity. It can be regarded as a complete spread, and every family is very happy, especially the children, who find it particularly novel.

Even when it was dark, you could still hear groups of children on the road shouting, "It's electrified!"

The elated voice could travel far and wide, and the adults in the room would "smile knowingly" when they heard it.

They were also happy, but at most they were looking for someone they knew to have a good chat.

And it's not like these kids running and shouting all over the road.

But I don't think they're so annoying.

On the contrary, I feel that I am quite happy to hear them shout like this.

This night.

Many families sleep late, adults are chatting, and children are excited to sleep listening to adults chatting. They were there too, chirping and cooing.

It wasn't until late at night, when the adults shouted for them to sleep, that it stopped.

The next morning.

After breakfast, people gathered at the east end of the village, the two or three hundred people in the disaster, plus the children running back and forth, it was really lively, there were not so many people in the past to get married or something.

There are also the cries of cows and horses from time to time, it turns out that there are cows and horses in the village, all of them are put on the cart, just waiting for an order to pull people to line up to dig a pit in the distance.

Don't look at the number of people who came today, there is only one person who really works and digs the pit.

Everyone else in the family watched the excitement, chatting and chatting.

Why?

Because there are only one or two shovels in each family, others can't help even if they want to.

I can only wait for this person to get tired, and then replace the next person to continue.

When everyone had arrived, they began to distribute.

The village chief stayed in the village and divided the pits for the old, weak, sick and disabled.

The secretary rode in an ox cart and took a group of young and strong people to a distant place.

Zhou Shujie and her gang of old and weak were assigned to the road closest to the village.

The three pits of Zhou Shujie's house were divided four or five miles away from the village, and her village chief's uncle took her around.

She drew a line where the pit was to be dug and told her the requirements of the pit.

At this time, there was not so much cement to drive piles for them.

Therefore, each pit needs to be dug deeper.

At least under 1.5 meters, or they will not be able to bury the poles and fall.

Therefore, their requirement for this pit is that except for the depth of the pit is 1.5 meters, the other lengths and widths are 1 meter apart.

Let's talk about this pit, it was quite easy to dig at first.

Zhou Shujie dug it very easily, the pit for buying electric poles is divided into roadsides or mountain sides, which is a place that few people step on, so the soil is still relatively soft.

But after digging for about half a meter, she couldn't dig anymore, because the bottom was all sticky loess, and there were stones of different sizes wrapped inside.

The further down the stone goes, the larger the number and the denser it becomes.

Zhou Shujie dug hard with a kick, but he couldn't dig much into it at all.

It took her more than an hour, and she didn't dig a meter deep in her first pit.

As she stood in the pit, she sighed as she looked at the newly ground blisters on her hands with a spade.

Her second brother drove the ox cart and walked from the front.

As soon as Zhou Shujie saw her second brother coming, she was happy.

Second brother is here!

Someone is helping her!

Of course she's going to be happy!

When Brother Tuesday approached, Zhou Shujie asked him. "Second brother, have you all finished digging?"

On Tuesday, the elder brother got off the ox cart, and the eight cows were tied up and said with a smile: "No, our family has a shovel, and the eldest brother is digging there, so I can only watch there." Then your uncle asked me to come back and help you dig a pit. ”

After speaking, he took the shovel from Zhou Shujie's hand.

Jumping into the shallow pit he had dug, he began to dig with a shovel, chatting and talking while digging two people.

I didn't say anything important, just some idleness.

Zhou Shujie asked jokingly, how are her second brother and second sister-in-law getting along?

Her second brother was there, smiling and squinting and praising her second sister-in-law. She is beautiful, smart, educated, and capable, anyway, how her second brother thinks of her second sister-in-law is pleasing to the eye and good anywhere.

Zhou Shujie, who listened to it, felt that she was going to get goosebumps.

In the words of later generations, this is to show affection and sprinkle dog food.

This man is not the same as a woman.

Zhou Shujie couldn't dig five centimeters into it with a spade.

Her second brother went down with a shovel, at least ten centimeters.

This first pit, unconsciously in their conversation, was dug in a short time.

looked at Brother Tuesday's head dripping with sweat.

Zhou Shujie handed her second brother some water and asked her second brother to drink it first and rest on the side for a while.

She took the shovel from her second brother's hand and went to the next pit.

As I said just now, the surface soil is soft and not hard, so Zhou Shujie dug it here first.

She planned to dig up this layer of soft soil by herself, and she couldn't dig the sand and gravel inside, so she asked her second brother to help.

Brother Tuesday rested for a while, then carried the kettle to Zhou Shujie, and saw that his sister was about to dig the gravel, so he took the shovel again.

The words are obviously verbose, in fact, you will find that this time flies very quickly, and when the three pits are dug out, the day will be dark, and it will be noon.

Like Zhou Shujie, after digging the pit, those who are close to home go home for dinner.

Those who are far away and don't dig and play, let people go home and get food.

Zhou Shujie took Brother Tuesday back to her house and steamed a pot of steamed buns at noon.

After a simple bite, she found an unused, clean towel wrapped a few steamed buns and two pickles in Gada, and asked her second brother to carry a pot of water, and drove the ox cart to deliver food to her uncle and eldest brother.

If you want to say that the people in the village are good, it is that the human touch is heavy.

In the afternoon, those who had finished their work first did not return home.

Carrying shovels, they walked forward in groups of three or five, and when they met someone who hadn't finished digging, they reached out to help dig two shovels.

Anyway, it didn't get dark yet, and the pit was all dug.

When they got home, the village chief told them that tomorrow the boys would come out to help, and the county would pull wood and let them follow the telephone poles.

The big guys all agreed loudly, and then happily chatted about what they could do with electricity.

It's nothing more than watching TV, and there are people who say they want to listen to songs, saying that when Brother Tuesday got married, his daughter-in-law brought a big song player (people at that time couldn't remember what the name of this machine was, but they only knew that he used it to play songs, so they called her a song player) said that there were still many tapes, and they all saw it, and they could listen to songs when the electricity was turned on.

The old people also talked enthusiastically, saying that if the electricity was connected, their village could invite someone else to show a movie.

If you want to say that the most popular thing in this era is the movie.

People in the countryside have never been to the cinema and don't know what the cinema is like.

The movie they see is a big white cloth.

Hold it up with two poles, or hang it directly on the wall.

Put on the projector and play the kind of black-and-white movie on the electricity.

Most of them are war movies, such as "Tunnel Warfare", "Railway Guerrillas" and the like, which were the most popular movies of the year.

When I was young, I heard my grandmother tell a joke.

It's about the interesting things that happened when they went to the movies in their time.

The village where the movie was shown was more than 30 miles away from their village.

If you take the main road, it is too far, so the people in the village are "super close", that is, they take the small road to take the shortcut.

It was still bright when I went, so it was easier to walk.

Some little girls, groups of young men went to the movies.

There are also some young daughters-in-law who have just gotten married, and we are going to talk about this little daughter-in-law today.

Grandma said that this little daughter-in-law, I want to call her grandma, she is married to my second grandfather surnamed Qiu.

At that time, they had only been married for more than a year, and her child was only six months old. I didn't eat enough food in a hurry, so I took the child and went to the movies with my grandmother.

When I watched the movie, I watched it very hard, but it was already dark when I came back from watching it.

When I came, I came from Mao Dao, and when I went back, I was in a hurry to go home.

The little girl is light-handed, but it's nothing, only this Grandma Qiu has a hard time walking with a child.

Until they passed a watermelon field, they accidentally tripped over a watermelon vine.

Stuck on his heels, the child was thrown out of his hands.

The child fell asleep, wrapped a very thick quilt, and the ground was full of watermelon seedlings, and he didn't wake up from the pain, and the child didn't cry.

When Grandma Qiu stood up, she couldn't find the child, so she was so anxious that she squatted in the ground, touched the watermelon eggs all over the ground, and didn't touch the child at all.

In the end, it was the grandmother who walked in front of them, and they all came back little by little, and they helped her touch it, and found the child in the ditch more than a meter away from her.

The child was found, and the watermelon field where they touched the child, and all the watermelon seedlings were also ruined by them.

It is said that after that, the old man who looked at the watermelon stood in the field angrily and scolded the morning.

Grandma and her gang all participated, and they didn't dare to say anything when they heard people scolding.

This matter has been remembered by my grandmother for a lifetime, and she has been talking about it for a lifetime.

We've also listened to it many times since we were kids, and every time we listen to it, we find it hilarious.

This is also a particularly real reflection that people's spare time life in that era was also colorful!

At that time, if I went to another village to watch a movie, it was a beautiful thing.

When you return to the village after you have finished reading, you will be surrounded by the half-grown children of the village, all of whom will surround you in three layers inside and three layers outside, and let you sit there and tell them what you have seen.

Zhou Shujie and the old people in this village were not all from this place before, some moved from other places, and many of them have watched various movies. He also told the children in the village, but he couldn't tell it all. The children are also full of fantasies about this. Hopefully one day I can watch a movie.

Zhou Shujie They have also shown movies here, but only twice in the county. Their villages are all in the mountains, far from the county.

There was no way to see it, so now I heard that the village was going to be electrified.

Even the village chief and the secretary discussed, and when the electricity was turned on, they would go to invite the movie to be shown, and a few shows would be shown to invite the whole village to enjoy themselves!
