Chapter eighty-fifth, electricity in the village

Come out of Mr. Wu's house.

As he was walking on the road in the village, he thought that there was only one stone mill for grinding things in the village.

There is a dojo in the village. In the past, every time the village needed to grind something for harvest, that stone mill would be used.

If it is moved and put back the next day, the new marks will be more obvious.

"Wait until you get the plaster water before you get it."

I went to bed early after going back.

Early the next morning,

Jiang Dingzhong's roar came.

Everyone went out in high spirits, but did not go towards the fields.

Instead, he followed Jiang Dingzhong towards the direction of the commune and stopped not far from the door of Jiang Xiaochuan's house.

Jiang Xiaochuan saw this and asked casually: "Uncle Jiang, what are you doing?"

Jiang Dingzhong turned his head and said to him happily: "The village has electricity today."

Jiang Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and looked at several large carbonized trees in the village.

Only then did he remember that last year he had said that he would pull electricity. The whole village went out to bury the pillars.

As a result, we waited for more than a year before there was any news.

I don't usually interact with people in the village, so I don't even know such important news.

Jiang Xiaochuan asked: "Uncle Jiang, why are you so slow? Didn't you say you were going to do it last year? This thing has been buried for more than a year."

Hearing this, Jiang Dingzhong said helplessly, "I have no choice. We are all queuing up, and the quotations for the wires have not been approved. That's why it has been delayed for so long."

Then he said with a pity look on his face: "It's a pity that we are all busy in farming, otherwise we would have to make it more lively. Now I can only set off a firecracker to solve the problem."

Jiang Xiaochuan can also understand, after all, the issue of electricity is considered a big event in this era.

Since he didn't go to the fields, he just followed and watched the excitement.

"Tu tu tu tu..."

A voice came from the direction of the commune and could be heard far away.

When Jiang Dingzhong heard the voice, his face lit up with joy and he shouted: "Coming. Coming."

Not long after, a tractor drove towards the village.

The car stopped at the entrance of the village. A group of five people got out.

Jiang Dingzhong hurried over and stretched out his hands.

He held the leader's hand and said excitedly: "Comrade Wang, welcome comrades, I have waited for you to come. Welcome."

Then he shook hands with the remaining people one by one.

The person taking the lead was a young man less than thirty years old.

The other party also said with enthusiasm: "Comrade Jiang, I'm really sorry. We can't do this without wires."

Hearing what the other party said, Jiang Dingzhong hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Let's go to the village headquarters to drink some water."

After saying that, he pulled the other person away.

When the other party heard what he said, he waved his hand and said: "Let's drink water later. Work first. We will drink when we are thirsty."

Jiang Dingzhong heard what he said, thought for a moment, and agreed. "That's okay."

Then he said to Jiang Mingwu in the crowd: "Xiao Wu, you accompany Accountant Liu to get sugar and water from the village department. Give them to some comrades."

"Hey... ok."

Jiang Mingwu agreed and hurriedly followed Accountant Liu to the village headquarters.

Jiang Dingzhong saw that the other party was already preparing to wire the wires. He turned to the people behind him and said loudly: "Okay, let's go to work. I will go to the commune to apply in a while, and I will show a movie in our village in two days."

When the people next to him heard his words, they immediately screamed with excitement.

Because there is no electricity in the village, the movie theater cannot come over.

Suntai Village next door has relatively rich farmland, so the village's deposits are relatively rich, and it had electricity at the beginning of the year.

Every time a movie is shown, it's like a big battle. People rush to grab seats early.

We arrived late, so we could only see a little shadow and hear a sound, which made everyone extremely excited.

Jiangtai Village has relatively few rich fields and less land per capita, so the village is relatively poor.

Now it's better. I don't have to look at them anymore.

Everyone happily walked to the fields.

We worked harder than usual in the morning, and one group worked almost 2 acres of land, but Jiang Xiaochuan also contributed to this.

When this person is happy, time passes a little faster.

Soon I heard the sound of a whistle.

Jiang Xiaochuan took Jiang Xiaohe to the cafeteria with everyone.

When I came to the cafeteria, I heard something.

Jiang Minghao, the rat in Jiang Weijun's mouth, was beaten by his mother again.

The reason is that he secretly drank the sugar water given to Master An Dian.

When Jiang Xiaochuan heard this, he thought for a while.

I am doing farm work here. To be honest, although I am not tired at all, it is quite boring.

How about getting some sugar cane to plant? Now is the time to plant sugar cane, so you can eat it next year.

Moreover, sugarcane contains high sugar content, so it can be used to save lives at critical moments.

Moreover, with this sugar cane planting, spring has begun, and sweet potato planting in wasteland can also be put on the agenda.

After all, in an era when people don’t have enough to eat, they still have to rely on food. When people don’t have enough to eat, why do they still eat sugar?

But at this time, Jiang Dingzhong was eating with two supervisors and a group of electricians.

As a result, there are two less roosters in the village. But there is no wine today. The wine has been drunk.

After eating, several people went to rest.

Jiang Xiaochuan sent Jiang Xiaohe away and then approached Jiang Dingzhong.

"Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Xiaochuan called to Jiang Dingzhong who had already arrived at the door.

When Jiang Dingzhong heard someone calling him, he turned around and asked, "What do you want to do again?"

Jiang Xiaochuan rubbed his head in embarrassment, as if he always liked to cause trouble.

He said with a smile: "Uncle Jiang, let's go in and ask you something."

Jiang Dingzhong didn't move and said angrily: "If you have something to say, just tell me, and there's nothing shameful about it."

Jiang Xiaochuan chuckled: "Uncle Jiang, I heard that the mouse was beaten today? Why did he get beaten just for drinking some sugar water?"

Jiang Dingzhong heard what he said and said helplessly: "Hey... I can't help it. The village is too poor. The ration of sugar is too small. That child is a little naughty, but he is still not a bad person. It's his mother.

It’s too strong.”

Hearing his words, Jiang Xiaochuan nodded, and then asked doubtfully: "Uncle Jiang, why don't we plant it ourselves."

When Jiang Dingzhong heard what he said, he glared at him: "There's not enough food to eat. Why are you growing that thing?"

Now is the era of planned economy. What is planted is not decided by the farmers, nor by Jiang Dingzhong.

Jiang Xiaochuan chuckled: "Uncle Jiang, you always think about planting in the fields, why don't you want to go to the wasteland on the other side of the mountain?"

When Jiang Dingzhong heard what he said, he was moved. But he still shook his head: "Sugar cane has been refined into sugar. Where can there be a sugar cane festival to grow sugar cane? We don't grow sugar cane. We can't have a sugar cane festival."

When Jiang Xiaochuan heard what he said, he chuckled: "Uncle Jiang, it's not like you have to plant sugar cane during the Sugar Cane Festival. Sugar cane also has seeds. (This is not nonsense, sugar cane can indeed be grown from seeds.) We can go to the provincial capital.

Buy it."

Jiang Dingzhong glanced at him suspiciously: "What's your idea? The farming is busy now, where will anyone grow sugar cane?"

"Uncle Jiang, you just need to give me a certificate to buy seeds and give me ten yuan."

"As long as they are available in the provincial capital, I will ask my father's comrades to help. If you can buy sugar cane festivals, it is best. If not, see if there are any seeds. Buy them first and then talk about it?"

Jiang Dingzhong is thinking about the risks involved.

Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Jiang Xiaochuan said again: "Uncle Jiang, the maximum loss is a few dollars. What if we succeed? There will be no shortage of sugar in the village, and we can exchange some things with other villages. And let the boys in the village make them."

, they will definitely be willing.”

When Jiang Dingzhong heard his words, he was also moved.

But his considerations were not as simple as Jiang Xiaochuan's.

After thinking for a while, he felt that there was no big problem, so he nodded and agreed. "Okay, then I will give you 5 yuan and you go and buy it. Don't be too dissatisfied. If there are really sugar cane seeds, you can buy them for 5 yuan."

How much? It’s enough.”

Jiang Xiaochuan thought about it for a moment, and it was the same. Seeds are inherently small, but there are many in a pound of seeds.

He nodded, and then said: "Uncle Jiang, please give me a certificate. I will go there tomorrow to buy and plant early."

Jiang Dingzhong heard what he said, went home, issued a certificate for him, and came out without forgetting to give him 5 yuan.

Before leaving, Jiang Xiaochuan said hello to Jiang Dingzhong and asked Jiang Xiaohe not to work in the fields tomorrow and to catch birds with the old man.
