Lu Changhua sat on the stool, and his mother sat on the edge of the Kang. The two of them had a particularly delicious dinner.

"It's not okay to have your hair like this. Shave it off sometime."

Although my mother dotes on Lu Changhua, such a dress is too shocking, and Lu's mother can't stand it.

"Okay, I'll shave it tomorrow."

"That's right. You don't want to make your dad angry."

"Your brother wrote a letter this morning, saying that he is doing well at the radio station and asked us not to worry about him."

Mother Lu looked proud when she mentioned her eldest son.

Lu Changzhong is the eldest son of the Lu family and Lu Changhua's eldest brother, two years older than him.

Internship at a farm radio station.

After graduating from the electromechanical class of a vocational high school, he went to a radio station. He has been an intern for a year and has not yet become a full-time employee.

Lu Changhua knew that his eldest brother was having a hard time at the radio station.

The so-called small demons in the temple are powerful, and there are many bastards in the pool. In that kind of agency unit, the personnel struggle is very fierce, and if you don't succeed, you will be squeezed out.

"I'll go see my eldest brother when I get the chance. It's definitely not easy for him in the agency."

"It's good to know. You should also work hard and learn from your brother."

"I know, Mom."

After dinner, Lu Changhua rushed to wash the dishes. Mother Lu couldn't compete with her son, so she scooped up a bucket of pig food, mixed it with a scoop of wheat bran, and took it to the pig pen to feed her two piglets.

Lu Changhua boiled two ladles of water in the rice pot. When it started to steam, he stopped burning the fire and put the dishes and chopsticks into the pot to wash them.

You can hear the howl of the piglet across the gable wall. It's so wilful. I don't know if it's because it's hungry or because it's being coquettish with Mother Lu.

The clock on the wall has already pointed to seven o'clock, and Dad hasn't come back yet.

Mother Lu had finished cleaning things inside and outside the house. The light was extremely dim at this time. Lu Changhua pulled the light cord, and the only three electrical bulbs in the house did not light up.

"Oh, there's a power outage again."

Mom said to herself.

The room was lit with dim candlelight.

Turn a can upside down and stick a candle to the bottom of the bottle to create a simple candle holder.

Today's Lu family can be described as a family with four walls.

There are only three electrical appliances in the house, lights, radios and flashlights.

The radio requires batteries and is generally reluctant to be used. If it can be listened to ten or eight times a month, it is considered a high frequency.

Unless necessary, don't use electric lights if you can. It costs money.

As for flashlights, they are generally not used and cost money.

Such families are very common on farms.

Of course, a very few cadre families already have black and white TV sets.

The price of four to five hundred yuan is daunting.

Lu Changhua remembers that it was only after 1988 that his family bought a black and white TV set.

Looking at such a living environment, he secretly made up his mind to get rich and be one of the first to get rich!

Yes, contracting a reservoir will make you money quickly, and it’s reasonable and legal.

It's just that the brother surnamed Yu is afraid that he will be cut off by him.

Lu Changhua remembered that there were floods in the summer and autumn this year, and the farm was severely damaged. Cadres and soldiers from the nearby artillery regiment came to provide support. This year's grain production must have been reduced.

But the small reservoir at the branch site has benefited from it. There is sufficient water, which is perfect for raising fish.

At the end of the year, detailed policies on employee family farms will be communicated to the branch. This is the best time to contract a small reservoir.

While I was thinking about it, Bao Xiong in the yard barked wildly.

Someone shouted Lu Changhua's name outside the courtyard gate.

"Who is it?"

"Lu Changhua, watch the dog quickly, I'm afraid of it."

"It's okay, just come in."

Lu Changhua recognized Han Ying's voice and tied Xiong Bao with a rope.

When Xiong Bao saw Lu Changhua coming, he shook his head, feeling very affectionate.

"Who is it?"

"Han Ying."

"The girl from Director Han's family?"

My mother muttered, then got up and moved a stool over.

As soon as she entered the room, Han Ying took Lu's mother and talked non-stop. I don't know where so many topics came from between the women.

Lu Changhua poured Han Ying a glass of boiled water.

"Sorry, I don't have good tea at home."

"I don't drink tea, boiled water is good."

Han Ying looked at Lu Changhua with sparkling eyes.

"Ahem, Han Ying, do you have a problem with me?"

"Oh, you said you won't wear bell-bottoms today, is that true?"

"Oh, it's true. By the way, I'm going to the city to shave my hair tomorrow."

"Ah? Isn't that a waste of time?"

"This hairstyle doesn't suit me."

"Oh. Can I go with you tomorrow?"

"You? Don't go to work?"

"I take a leave."

"Then you have to get up early, otherwise you won't be able to catch the bus."

"Let's leave at five o'clock. It's better to leave early."

Han Ying's eyes were full of energy.
