In early spring in March, a big event happened, and electricity began to be installed in the village.

Every household is happy, and after having electricity, they can use electric lamps without kerosene lamps, and electric lamps don't use much electricity, and they are much brighter than kerosene lamps.

After Zhou Guoqiang's house was installed with electric lights, Zhou Xiaoyun's learning environment was greatly improved.

In the past, kerosene lamps were dim, and it was not good for the eyes to look at them for a long time. Now, the 40-watt light bulb illuminates the small room, and it is much easier to write and read.

Zhou Xiaoyun automatically extended the time for practicing calligraphy by half an hour, and Zhao Yuzhen didn't feel sorry for the electricity bill. She doesn't know much and can see that her daughter's handwriting is getting better and better, and wherever she goes, she is full of pride when she mentions Zhou Xiaoyun.

Uncle Zhou Guofu made benches for others a few years ago, and left a lot of leftovers, and pieced together a desk for Zhou Xiaoyun and Dabao. Zhou Xiaoyun doesn't like it, the boxy and small table makes her easy to write and read.

The original dilapidated and somewhat unstable table in the room was carved by Dabao with a knife with a lot of scratches, Zhou Xiaoyun has always disliked it, and there is no other choice but to use it, and now that there is a new one, the old table will be eliminated immediately.

Every night, Zhou Xiaoyun and Dabao sat face to face and wrote their own homework. Xiaobao was attracted by this learning atmosphere and refused to leave at the table, Zhou Xiaoyun was afraid that he would be noisy and disturb his study, so he taught him to write numbers.

In fact, she herself is not afraid of disturbing, mainly because she is afraid that Dabao, who has serious signs, will be distracted by Xiaobao.

Xiaobao, who has something to do, learns numbers decently, and after a long time, he actually learns 1 to 10.

Sure enough, there are no stupid children, only children who refuse to learn! Zhou Xiaoyun sighed like this.

When his younger brother Xiaobao grew up, he graduated from high school and was not admitted to college, and later went out to work and couldn't go home twice a year. In fact, Xiaobao is much smarter than his brother Dabao, if he guides it well, it may be a piece of study material, and he has to start from the doll!

Zhao Yuzhen naturally raised her hands in approval of Xiaobao's behavior, no matter what, it was better than going out to run around.

Zhou Guofu's family bought a TV after it was powered on. At this time, the people who had TVs in the village were Feng Tiezhu's family and Zhou Guofu's family, and for a while, waves of people went to Zhou Guofu's house to watch the excitement.

A new Panda brand 14-inch black-and-white TV has an antenna erected,After pressing the button with your hand,You have to dial the circle above by hand to adjust the channel,There is no remote control purely by manpower。 Colour televisions with remote controls have been present in the village for at least a decade, and now they are rare enough.

In the main house of Zhou Guofu's house, there are children who come to watch TV every day, and later some adults come to watch it when they stay at home at night and have nothing to do. If there is not enough space to sit, I can stand and watch, and even stand outside the house to watch. There is no way, there is no entertainment in the countryside to watch TV who doesn't want to watch it.

The crowd watching this TV includes Dabao and Xiaobao, Dabao finally remembers to finish his homework, and every night he finishes his homework and even has no time to pack up his homework book and goes to his uncle's house, usually waiting until his aunt announces that he wants to turn off the TV and rest, he reluctantly goes home. On Sundays, he simply stayed at the uncle's house for a whole day and had lunch at the uncle's house, and Xiaobao followed his brother and became a frequent visitor to Zhou Guofu's house.

Zhou Xiaoyun saw that many people went to his uncle's house and didn't want to join in the fun, so he practiced calligraphy at home alone and enjoyed himself.

After a long time, Shen Huafeng felt distressed about the electricity bill.

When she first started to see the endless stream of people watching TV at home, she was still a little complacent, and she was very confident in speaking in those days. The adults who came to her house to watch TV inevitably exchanged a few words with her and praised her for her family's good life.

Shen Huafeng listened to these flattering words very useful, she has always been a little unconvinced, the third uncle's family in the city is better than her own, the last time she went to the city to see Zhou Guomin's TV, she was very angry. No, soon after the village was electrified, she encouraged her own man to buy one too.

With so many people coming and going every day, the TV was on from morning to night, and she came back from the excitement.

But the villagers in this township are all acquaintances, and many of them are their own relatives, why are they embarrassed to open their mouths and ask others not to come?

Shen Huafeng pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a way. Every night at eight o'clock, she would be embarrassed to explain that she wanted to go to bed early and get up early the next day, and then turn off the TV.

After two such times, some people understood that this implicit eviction order gradually decreased. Even if he comes, he will automatically leave at eight o'clock, Shen Huafeng is secretly proud that he has achieved the goal of turning on the TV less and has not offended people positively.

But there are also some children who don't know each other very well, just like Dabao, who grinds every day to see more and refuses to go home, Shen Huafeng said to this naughty nephew that he can't scold and scold, so he can only let him go home with a straight face.

Dabao, who felt very aggrieved, went home and talked to his mother Zhao Yuzhen about it, and the child didn't understand the twists and turns, how could Zhao Yuzhen not understand.

Zhao Yuzhen was angry that Shen Huafeng was too stingy, and reprimanded Dabao for not going again.

Dabao didn't follow, and shouted in his mouth, "Just go, I'm going to watch TV, whoever makes our house have no TV, I'm going to go to my uncle's house to watch", and was slapped by the angry Zhao Yuzhen.

Seeing that Dabao's face was beaten red and five finger prints appeared, Zhao Yuzhen regretted a little in her heart, Dabao is still a child, what does a child know, why bother to sprinkle his anger on the child?

The two brothers who live together have a good relationship, and the old family is wealthier and often helps their own families. When there was a shortage of money, they all went to Zhou Guofu's house to borrow, and the eldest girl always wore Xiaoxia's clothes - at that time, it was also a small favor to give her children's old clothes to other younger children.

This also made Zhao Yuzhen always feel inferior in front of Shen Huafeng, and she was secretly aggrieved in her heart, plus Dabao's words really hurt the sore spot in Zhao Yuzhen's heart, and Zhao Yuzhen, who has always rarely done anything to children, couldn't help but slap Dabao hard.

Dabao ran to the house and cried.
