Chapter 139 The Bulb Is Broken
It's no longer like that at night, the whole village is shrouded in black.
The main reason is that large areas are too bright. If you look carefully, you will find that there are some stars that are not lit. Maybe they are asleep, or maybe they don't know how to pull the light cord, which is why those houses don't light up.
Some children will pull the light cord, pull it once, and it will go out with a "pop" sound. Pull it again, and it will light up again with a "pop" sound. They don't need a match to light it, and they don't need to blow with their mouths. With a gentle pull, the house will light up.
It was really strange to see the light inside.
In some homes, children kept shaking the house, and the adults scolded them.
At the east end of the village, Zhang Guoquan did not go to sleep on the river beach that night. He was also waiting for the moment when the electricity was turned on. Everyone must be waiting, and the children would not have the intention to steal his melons.
Like everyone else, he and Bai Ge were so excited when the electricity was turned on. The moonlight outside dimmed the moment it turned on.
After watching it for a while, Bai Ge asked him to close it quickly. Anyway, the power was on, and he felt relieved. He had been busy and tired these past few days, so he went to bed early to rest.
Once the power is turned on, you can watch it anytime you want. No rush, tonight.
Zhang Guoquan listened to Bai Ge. He has been busy these days and has not gone to the fields. He will get up early tomorrow and go to the fields to weed. If he has time, he will buy other goods. Now the light bulbs are basically
The demand is low, so it’s time to think about selling other things.
I took one last look at the bright light bulb and was about to pull the light cord. When I pulled it down, the light was still not extinguished. I had to loosen it before it would go out.
But he didn't let go yet. Just as he was about to let go, he heard someone calling his name outside the yard.
"Zhang Guoquan, come out."
Zhang Guoquan just pulled the light cord and glanced at Bai Ge under the bright light. Bai Ge also heard someone shouting outside.
He asked doubtfully: "Is someone buying something?"
Zhang Guoquan also thought so: "I guess so."
Then he let go of the light cord, and at that moment, he pulled it down. The room went off and on, and flashed for a moment. Zhang Guoquan opened the door and walked out of the yard.
There were seven or eight villagers outside the yard. Zhang Guoquan thought, why didn't he buy it earlier and had to wait until the electricity was turned on?
He now has a canteen, and when others come to buy things, even if it is so late, he cannot refuse.
While taking out the key and preparing to open the door of the canteen, he said to the villagers: "You are here to buy light bulbs so late. I can't bear to see how bright they are."
Zhang Guoquan was joking and opened a canteen. He was good at talking and joking could also bring him closer to the villagers. They all lived in the same village, so they would inevitably come to the canteen to buy things.
These villagers must be thinking about when the electricity will come and when to install the light bulbs. If the electricity does not come, it will be in vain. There are many people in the village who think this way. Zhang Guoquan is also preparing to prepare some more. There is always something bad.
When the time comes, replacement is inevitable.
This is not a one-time sale. Looking at the situation, he is also planning to sell out these households. He will not go to work in the fields tomorrow morning. He will first bring in some light bulbs and prepare some, so that he can have the energy to work in the fields.
This was what he was thinking when he walked to the canteen. Before he opened the door, a villager shouted to him.
"Zhang Guoquan, why don't the light bulbs I bought from you work?"
Zhang Guoquan took the key and before he could open it, he heard the villagers' shouts. He turned around and asked doubtfully: "It doesn't light up?"
"Yes, it just doesn't light up. Others' ones are bright, so why aren't the ones we bought from you bright?"
"It's just that we are from a village and want to take care of your business. It would be better for you to fool us with some defective products, right?"
"That's right, everyone waited until midnight just to wait for the power to come on, but it didn't turn on. What a disappointment. What kind of thing is this?"
He thought these people were here to buy light bulbs because they didn't have any. They were so busy these days. There were so many people coming to buy them. He couldn't remember who bought them and who didn't, and not all of them bought them from him.
But it shouldn't be bright. The one at home is bright, and both he and Baige know it.
Zhang Guoquan said patiently: "It's impossible. You see, all the ones in my house are lit up. I can't possibly sell you bad ones and go to the town to buy them myself."
As he spoke, he pointed to the lights in the yard to prove that he was not lying.
"Hey, don't quibble here, my house just doesn't light up anyway."
"No wonder it's cheaper than in town, it's all inferior quality."
Zhang Guoquan waved his hand quickly and explained: "No, no, we are all from the same village. If I just sell you defective products, how can I have the dignity to meet the big guys in Yangjiazhuang?"
"It doesn't matter, it's not bright anyway."
The other party's tone didn't sound like he was joking. No one would come over and joke with him in the middle of the night. Zhang Guoquan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked as if he was thinking of something: "Did you forget to pull the light cord? You need to pull the light cord."
Bright."
"Oh, you think we are stupid. The light cord is almost broken, but it just doesn't light up."
"Yes, about the light bulb, you have to pull something on the light cord."
Zhang Guoquan took a breath and continued to ask: "Then, maybe the wires are not connected properly. Can you look at the wires?"
"Nonsense, why don't we look at it? We can see the electric meter when we look at the wires. There is no problem at all."
"That's right, everyone has thought of all the problems you can think of. It's definitely about the light bulb. Don't quibble here. Just tell me what to do."
What should I do? What else can be done? If it doesn't work, I will definitely replace it with a new one for free. This has been agreed a long time ago.
"In this case, I will replace them for you. There are not many left, only a dozen or so. But don't worry, everyone, I will go to stock up early tomorrow morning, and I will ensure that I will replace the ones that are broken at home."
There are hundreds of light bulbs, and it's normal for a few to be broken. No one can guarantee that every one of them is good. He is willing to replace all of them with new ones. People can't just spend money to buy a few light bulbs that don't work.
I had agreed with Lao Liu before that if one breaks, it must be replaced with a new one free of charge.
Some villagers were dissatisfied: "There are only a dozen left. Our family needs three or four. How can your dozen be enough for these people? You guys came so late just to take a look at the bright light bulbs. Otherwise, you let everyone
How can I fall asleep?"
This is also true. The power supply to Yangjiazhuang is a major event. It is a major event that everyone has been looking forward to for several months. They have been looking forward to it during the day and at night. They have been waiting for this moment. After finally looking forward to it, this happened.
No one can be happy.
Zhang Guoquan could only say patiently: "Yes, I understand everyone's mood, but I can't go to buy goods in the middle of the night. So let's see if it's okay. Each family can take one first and light up the main room. Everyone
Let’s take a look at it first, and I will personally deliver it to you tomorrow.”
There were seven or eight people who came, and one for each family was enough. This also solved the problem of everyone being able to take a look at the lights. It was worth it that everyone had been looking forward to it for so long.
When something happened, Zhang Guoquan took the initiative to solve the problem with a very sincere attitude. The villagers sighed: "Well, if it weren't for the children at home who wanted to see the light, no one would want to trouble you at night. Now we can only do this.
."
Zhang Guoquan breathed a sigh of relief and scolded Lao Liu in his heart for causing the big guy not to see the light on in time.
Fortunately, the villagers whose lights were not on were easy to talk to. Zhang Guoquan also understood that it would be okay if the lights were not on. Today was the first time the power was turned on. If the lights were not on, everyone would definitely feel uncomfortable.
I quickly opened the door with the key, felt in the dark and pulled the light cord on the wall. It didn't light up?
Hiss, Zhang Guoquan took a breath, why is there no light in this room?
The villagers said as if they were joking: "Hey, just look at it, it's not like the big guy is deliberately trying to blackmail your light bulbs, and even your own won't light up..."
Zhang Guoquan tried pulling it a few more times, and the black circular switch clicked, indicating that there was nothing wrong with the switch, and it could only be a problem with the light bulb.
"Stop trying. It's useless even if you break the light cord. Hurry up and replace it with a new one. If you live in a village, the big guys won't hold you responsible. Bring it tomorrow and replace it quickly. We agreed in advance, but
Don't fix the broken ones anymore, otherwise no one will come to buy things from you."
Zhang Guoquan groped for the light bulb in the dark and murmured: "Yes, yes, don't worry, everyone, I will replace all the bulbs that don't light up with new ones for free, and I guarantee that this problem won't happen again."
How many defective products did this old Liu give me?
There was no need for him to guess. Under the bright village road, many people came to the east end of the village. When Zhang Guoquan looked up, he was shocked.
In the middle of the night, they are definitely not here to buy light bulbs. The only possibility is that they are here to change light bulbs.
