【Chapter 077】 Electric light telephone

Liu's house is located in the middle of a mountainside called 'Jiguanling' on the edge of Shangliang Village, one mile away from the nearest family, and more than 1,000 meters away from the village committee in the center of the village. At the beginning, the ancestors of the Liu family chose to set up a winery in the middle of the mountain, because they took a fancy to the wide terrain here, with sweet mountain spring water, and the ancient tea horse road passing by on the side.

However, as time passed, these advantages gradually turned into disadvantages, and the Liu family, who were far away from the village, gradually lost track of the beat.

Because it is a single family and the distance is far away, the people in the power supply station are naturally unwilling to pull a special line for the Liu family to supply power for free, and the Liu family has always been in a situation where there is no electricity. In the past, the Liu family made wine, raised pigs, and farmed, earning hard money, and the three dolls in the family were all studying, and Liu Jiahong was even more reluctant to spend more money to pull wires. Anyway, I've been here for so many years, and I'm not in a hurry, besides, the dolls are usually at school, and the two old people will be settled.

Since Liu Rui went home, he felt all kinds of inconveniences without electricity, but at that time, the family was very busy, and he himself was exhausted every day and had no time to take care of it.

However, after entering September, Shennong Space not only brought huge economic benefits to the Liu family, but also liberated Liu Rui, so that he did not have so much pressure and began to think about other things.

Some time ago, when the Olympic Games were at the start of the Olympic Games, Liu Rui, who used to be a sports fan at school, was even more itchy, and every day he took the time to ride a bicycle to his grandfather's house to watch TV broadcasts, and it was very troublesome to go back and forth every day. At that time, he wanted to find someone from the power supply station to pull the wires, and he said that he would enjoy the benefits of electricity.

It's just that Liu Rui was delayed for a few days by going into the mountains to investigate, and now there is nothing to do at home, so he can just bring this matter to the agenda.

"Pulling the wire?" Zhang Guizhi frowned and said, "The family's money still has to be kept for you to study, isn't it a little too fast to spend it like this?" ”

As a traditional rural woman, Zhang Guizhi is the kind of person who has to break every penny into two cents to spend, this is not to say that she is stingy, but she is used to being careful and budget-conscious, and she is really a little uncomfortable with Liu Rui's way of spending money. I just spent more than 8,000 yuan to buy a motorcycle, and now I have to pull wires, and the tens of thousands of yuan from selling longan and vegetables can't withstand so much tossing.

"Mom, what time is it now? We still have kerosene lamps, which is really outdated! Liu Rui paused and said: "Besides, we don't sit on the mountain, don't we still have income every day?" ”

"What do you think, old man?" Listening to his son's reasons seemed to be quite sufficient, Zhang Guizhi reluctantly turned his gaze to Liu Jiahong.

"It's long overdue, buy another TV, we don't have to be short of money now!" Liu Jiahong now knows that his son has more knowledge than himself, and since he proposed it, let's follow him.

As soon as they heard that they were going to pull the wires and buy a TV, the two little guys next to them were so excited, especially Tongtong, who screamed beside them. Last year, "Huanzhu Gege" was on the air, and this topic was talked about among the little girls at school. The little girl didn't have a chance to see it after she went home from vacation, and she was very disappointed and felt a little out of place with other classmates.

Now that the family is finally ready to buy a TV, the happiest person is her!

"I can't watch TV all day when I buy it, and I have to read books at home!" Looking at the excited little girl, Liu Rui deliberately scared her with a straight face. 、

"Don't worry about it!" The little girl was not afraid at all, stuck out her tongue at Liu Rui, and grimaced.

Now that the family has discussed, Liu Rui did not procrastinate, and immediately took action.

He got on a motorcycle and went straight to Qingyun Junior High School to find his brother-in-law Zhang Zhenzu, Liu Rui remembered that he had friends who worked at the power supply station, and it should be very convenient to have acquaintances to help.

Qingyun Junior High School is the only junior high school in the entire Qingyun Town, and the dolls who can't get into those good middle schools in the county every year can only stay here to spend their three years of junior high school career. Like most schools in China, Qingyun Junior High School is well planned, with several cement basketball courts connected to each other from the gate, as well as some flower beds, lawns and mango trees on the side. On the left-hand side are two three-story school buildings, which were built with donations from a returned overseas Chinese two years ago, otherwise the students would have to attend classes in bungalows. On the other side of the field, rows of bungalows stand neatly like an army, which are the dormitories of students and the homes of teachers.

When he came to his brother-in-law Zhang Zhenzu's dormitory, he was playing games with Xiao Zhang Peng on the sofa, and his aunt Li Lan was cooking in the kitchen.

"Why did you go down the mountain again all of a sudden? Isn't it fun to ride? Seeing his nephew walk in, Zhang Zhenzu said with a smile.

Motorcycles are just like bicycles, when they first arrive, they are addictive, and they can't sleep when they hold them, and everyone who has learned to drive has had such an experience.

"Am I the kind of playful kid?" Smiled and took Xiao Zhang Peng, Liu Rui kissed him and said, "If our family wants to pull the wire, you have to go out to the power supply station." ”

"It's long overdue!" Zhang Zhenzu nodded and said: "Although today is the National Day, there should be someone on duty at the power supply station, and we will go and see it after dinner." ”

In the past, Zhang Zhenzu persuaded his sister and brother-in-law to pull the wire as soon as possible, but the two of them were brainless and reluctant to spend money, but now Liu Rui is in charge and is much more neat.

After lunch, the two rode their motorcycles to the power station near Qingyun Wharf. There is no local power plant in Qingyun, and the electricity required is to cross the Tongjiang River from the north bank, and then set up a substation on the high ground of the river embankment to meet the living and production needs of tens of thousands of people in Qingyun Town.

With the help of acquaintances, things are much easier, although the power supply station is now on holiday, but Zhang Zhenzu's friend Lin Dongzhi still promised to send workers to Shangliang Village tomorrow to set up the wire, but the pole used to set up the wire can only be prepared by Liu Rui himself.

"Why don't we go to the post and telegraph again and give the phone to us at the same time?" Walking out of the power supply station, Zhang Zhenzu opened his mouth to suggest.

"Isn't it too expensive? If it's too expensive, Dad probably won't agree to it. Liu Rui was a little hesitant, it was estimated that it would cost more than 10,000 yuan to buy a motorcycle, pull wires and buy a TV, and it was really a bit like spending money.

"It's okay! Now what kind of village-to-village project is being carried out in the town, the installation of telephones does not require initial installation fees, and telephones and telephone bills are also discounted. According to the distance between your homes, it will cost a few hundred yuan at most for materials, and then invite those people to eat. Anyway, when you set up the pole, you just had to pull the phone line up, so that you don't have to do it again later. Zhang Zhenzu lives in the town and is still very familiar with some policies, which immediately impressed Liu Rui.

After starting to cooperate with 'South Beauty', and then contacting Ji Xiaojun, Huang Xingye and others, Liu Ruishen felt all kinds of inconveniences caused by poor information communication, and also had the idea of installing a telephone. However, in the past few years, it took thousands to install a phone, which made Liu Rui feel a little scary.

"Then let's check it out!" Liu Rui nodded.

Let's go to the post office first, and if the cost is not high, then you can get it all together.

When I arrived at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, sure enough, the cost of initial telephone installation was really low, and the people at the Post and Telecommunications Office were also very enthusiastic, saying that they could go over tomorrow and set up wires with the people at the Power Supply Station.

"Uncle, why are these people from the post and telecommunications office so enthusiastic? There is no shelf at all! Liu Rui was deeply curious, and in the past, he saw in the newspapers and periodicals what the service attitude of these monopoly industries was, which was a typical representative of 'the door is difficult to enter, the face is ugly, and the work is difficult to do'.

"In the past two years, what task indicators have the post and telecommunications been engaged in, and if they can't complete the number of installed capacity, their bonuses will be in vain." Zhang Zhenzu said with a smile: "Most of the people in Qingyun are very poor, and they can't afford to make a phone call." Now that there is finally a door-to-door, it's no wonder that they are not active. ”

At this time, Liu Rui knew that in fact, many things are not static, and with a change of environment, the originally coaxing post and telecommunications boss had to lower his voice.

Back in the village, Liu Rui and Zhang Zhenzu began to slowly return home from the village under the fierce words, estimating along the way how much distance it would take to reach Liu's house after pulling the wire from the transformer in the village? With the approximate distance, Liu Rui was able to prepare the poles needed for wiring.

Because it was just a wire for Liu Rui's family, the thigh-thick cement pole of the power supply station was a bit overkill and too wasteful. Therefore, the power supply station asked Liu Rui to go home and prepare a certain specification of fir wood, which can come in handy at that time.

Back at home, Liu Rui and Zhang Zhenzu began to lift down the fir wood stored on it from the attic of the hall and put it in the courtyard dam to prepare for processing. As soon as the two little guys heard that they could set up the line tomorrow, they were so excited that they couldn't do it, and they were busy working behind Liu Rui, which also helped a lot.

These fir trees were not closed for afforestation a few years ago, and Liu Jiahong purchased them to be kept for the renovation of old houses in the future, but now they can only be used for erection wires. After all, most of the houses built by people now are made of reinforced concrete, and the brick houses with wooden roofs have been gradually eliminated, and these cedar trees may not be useful in the future.

After these cedar trees were cut down and trimmed off the side branches, they were exposed to the sun for a period of time, and the water in them had almost evaporated. After Liu Jiahong took it back, he concentrated in the mountain pond for more than half a year, killing all the moths inside. Such a fir wood is used to make house beams, not to mention a hundred years, at least thirty or fifty years without insects. Even if you make a telephone pole to be exposed to the rain every day, you can top it for ten or eight years, which is enough!

Finding a saw and an axe, Liu Rui cut all the fir trees neatly, and also used a torch to burn a shallow layer of black charcoal in a section about two feet or so in the lower part of the torch. Wood buried in the soil is susceptible to corrosion, and burning the surface layer into charcoal can effectively prevent this problem and make it more durable.

Soon, everything is ready, just waiting for the workers of the power station to do it tomorrow!
