"Great. With electricity it is much more convenient. Song Haowen sighed. There's already a place out there to start land contracting, so let's start working on it here. ”

"I've started to register, and it's estimated that I will do it when the wheat harvest comes next year. It's just that our family may have to suffer a loss, you are in college, and your hukou is not in the production team, so you may not be counted as your head. Dad said with regret.

"It doesn't matter. If the grain field is less, we can contract more wasteland, 100 acres or 200 acres. ”

"What's the use of a wasteland? It will take years to improve the soil, and that is not enough. ”

"It doesn't matter. We have teachers at our university who specialize in this soil improvement problem, and this matter will be on my part at that time. You just have to rest assured that you can contract it. Song Haowen remembered the method of soil improvement in his previous life and said with confidence.

"You said it lightly, there are only two laborers at home, me and your mother, ten acres and eight acres of land are enough. You dare to contract more land. "Dad was clearly worried.

"When the farm is busy, you can pay some money to ask someone to help. After the year, I will leave some money for my family, and you can find someone to buy a walk-behind tractor and come back. If you want to open it, you can open it, and if you don't want to open it, hire someone to open it, and with a machine, it will save you a lot of trouble. ”

"Walk-behind tractor, how much does it cost?"

"It's only two or three thousand yuan, it doesn't matter, I'll come out of this. When I was in school, I started a small business in my spare time and earned a little money. ”

The mother was worried: "Third son, going to school is a big deal. You can't just make money and forget what you do. ”

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, your son, don't talk about other skills, you are a good hand at making money."

"Mom, the third brother is so smart, your second elder can rest assured."

"Don't worry, what's the heart? I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will be smart and mistaken. ”

At this time, the fourth child ran over, holding the tape recorder in his hand, and asked, "Brother, what is this?" ”

Song Haowen helped the fourth child adjust the tape recorder, and Teresa Teng's "Story of a Small Town" immediately came out.

"Brother, is there a song "Morning on Campus" in this tape? My classmates love to sing. ”

"Third brother, do you know, the most popular male singer in China now is exactly the same as your name, I often think, if only this person were my brother." The second sister said with regret.

"What's so good about that? And it can't give you extra points in the college entrance examination. Song Haowen disagreed.

"It's not you, but I feel kind to my heart when I hear the same name as you. It's just that I haven't seen his photo, I don't know what he looks like, whether he is handsome or not. The second sister said yearningly.

"He's just an ugly bastard, far worse than me." Song Haowen pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Brother, you are typical of jealousy. I won't talk to you, I'll listen to the song. After the third child finished speaking, he went upstairs with a smoke.

Song Haowen looked at the second sister and smiled: "Do you really like that kid's song?" ”

"Of course. I'm not the only one who likes it, it's the whole class. His song "Grandma's Penghu Bay", many girls cried when they heard it. ”

"So exaggerated?" Song Haowen was taken aback. "I didn't expect a song to have so much magic."

Tian Nana, who sang with him, is also very popular, and her songs are played on the radio every day. Every song she sings, all of us girls sing. The second sister looked envious and adoring.

"Second sister, I know Tian Nana, and she is still friends with me. If you are admitted to the capital, I will introduce you two to each other. Song Haowen laughed.

"Really, you're not bragging?" The second sister's eyes suddenly widened, as if they were constantly glowing.

"Second sister, put a hundred hearts. I do what I say. Song Haowen patted the second sister's shoulder and comforted.

"Hey, I'll take it as a real ......" The second sister grimaced at Song Haowen.

"Okay, it's not early, let's rest early." Mom began to urge.

The next day, after Song Haowen had breakfast, he went to his grandparents, grandparents' and grandparents' houses to deliver New Year's gifts. He was startled, didn't know what had happened, and hurried home. Before he arrived at the door of his house, he saw a group of people standing at the door of his house, talking to his parents, and a minibus was parked on the side of the road in the center of the production team in the distance.

Song Haowen was taken aback, he didn't know what was going on at home, and hurriedly went over to ask what was going on. But when he saw the two drivers, the fat man Wei Da and the thin man Han Dong, waving to him and greeting him, he asked, how did you find this place and what happened.

Wei Da stepped forward and hugged Song Haowen, as if he was afraid that the other party would run away, and said happily like a child: "Great, I found you." Then, he introduced Song Haowen and the guests one by one, and Song Haowen understood what was happening.

It turned out that after Wei Da and Han Dong returned to the automobile transport company, they would encounter Song Haowen and tell the company leaders, who attached great importance to it and immediately reported it to the county party committee. After hearing that the little hero who bravely captured the four robbers had been found, and that this little hero was still the most popular male singer in the country at present, he immediately notified the propaganda director of the county party committee and the director of the county public security bureau to come to the door to distribute the "righteous and courageous" award and bonus, and arranged for the county radio reporter to interview and report, publicize Song Haowen's spirit of righteousness and courage, and call on the people of the county to learn from him. Among the leaders who came this time were the director of the propaganda department of the county party committee, the director of the county public security bureau, the secretary of the commune, the manager of the county automobile transport company, and the director of the county radio station.

Song Haowen saw that the county was so excited, and it was already the twenty-ninth night of the New Year, everyone was very busy, and he was very upset. I apologized to all the visitors again and again, saying that a little thing, after another half a year, it is not worth such a grand treatment.

Song Haowen's family was stunned, they never dreamed that the third child would be able to capture four robbers with knives, and he was also a sensational red singer across the country. Before he came back, the whole family kept explaining to the public that the public must have found the wrong person, and the third child of their family could not have this ability, otherwise, the whole family would not know.

To the surprise of most of the visiting leaders, Song Haowen was actually a college student at Jingcheng University and the top science student in the provincial college entrance examination. After the Minister of Propaganda handed out the certificate, certificate and bonus, he held Song Haowen's hand tightly and did not relax, and said excitedly: "You are the pride of my county, and I invite you to the county as a guest in the new year to participate in the group meeting." Song Haowen immediately declined on the grounds that he would return to the capital after the year.

Then, the automobile transportation company separately issued a bonus to Song Haowen. Although these bonuses were only a few hundred yuan, Song Haowen refused to accept them, and in the end there was really no way, so he transferred these bonuses to the production team and asked them to distribute them to the poor households in the team.

After the leaders left, the county radio reporter conducted an exclusive interview with Song Haowen. When everything was done and it was time for dinner, the reporters refused to stay for dinner in order to catch up with the manuscript and left in a hurry.

The people in the production team spoke at Song Haowen's house for a while, all of which were words of praise and surprise. For the farmers of this team, there is such a big celebrity, and they all feel that their faces are bright.

It wasn't until it got dark that Song Haowen's home was quiet. Faced with what happened during the day, the family felt a little unreal. They had never heard Song Haowen sing any serious song, nor did they feel that he had any musical talent, how did he go to the capital and become a red singer? The fourth child took out a cassette tape from Song Haowen's bag, which included all the works sung by Song Haowen. Everyone listened carefully to the song and found that the singing voice in the tape was really similar to Song Haowen's voice.

The whole family was immediately impressed by Song Haowen, looking at him like a stranger, making him uncomfortable. He had to say embarrassedly: "These, I don't mean to hide it from my family, I think singing is just my hobby, and it's not worth dazzling." My main job is to study, and I won't sing outside all day. ”

The second sister sighed and said with infinite envy: "Half a year ago, who would have thought that you were such a genius? became the champion in the college entrance examination, became a star in singing, and even made so much money by hunting. Brother, you tell us what other talents you have, don't surprise us in the future. ”

Song Haowen knew in his heart that if he hadn't crossed over, he would be an ordinary person, where could he have such a big achievement? But these can't be said explicitly, so I can only laugh and say, "Where am I a genius?" It's just that the opportunity was seized. Everyone will be as successful as I am if they work hard. ”

My sister screamed. "Third brother, when I grow up, I want to be like you and be a star."

The fourth brother also said: "Third brother, when I grow up, I want to learn from you to make money and become a rich man." ”

Song Haowen said with a smile: "As long as you study hard, you will definitely realize your ideals in the future." He asked the second sister, "What kind of person do you want to be in the future?" ”

"Me?" The second sister hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to be a writer and write good works that reflect the times." ”

"Okay, that's a good idea. For now, though, you'll have to work hard to get into college first. ”

……

The next morning, the production team leader came to tell Song Huaisheng that the people from the power supply bureau had come down and would immediately pull the wire for their house, so that they could use electricity today. After the whole family learned the news, they were very happy, and ran to the intersection to wait for the master of the power supply bureau to come over, and the family also prepared tea and sugar cubes for the masters.

After about half an hour, two masters with electric wires on their backs came, and they pulled two wires from the cement pole standing in front of them, fixed them with brackets on the courtyard wall of their house, and then introduced them into every room of the house. Since their house is a building and there are many rooms, it naturally took more time.

The production team stipulates that at present, the account opening fee of each family is paid by the team first, and then handed over to the team site after the year, and the electricity fee is first divided according to the lamp head, and the light bulb is unified into 40 lights, and then calculated separately after the installation of electricity meters in each household. Song Haowen's family is much better than that of ordinary members, so naturally he does not need to install a few more lamp heads.

On Chinese New Year's Eve in 1980, it was the first time in the history of Song Haowen's family that there were electric lights, and the whole family was bright and joyful. Song Haowen thought to himself, it would be better if there was a TV at home at this time.

The sun had not yet set, and the sound of firecrackers rang out in all directions. This deafening roar lasted until dawn, and at the same time pushed people's New Year's festivities to the peak.
