Chapter Ten Toshiyan Long Zhaotian in the Village (4)
"Tianwazi, my grandfather thought about your idea carefully and realized that this aspect is very consistent with the reality of our village, so we can go ahead and do it. When it comes to the market...that aspect of information, my grandfather has been living in seclusion for many years. Information
It's quite closed! Just do it if you think it's feasible." After Long Henian listened to Long Zhaotian's idea, he stroked his beard, looked at him deeply, and said, "Our village is rich in water resources. Let's make good use of it to make a project.
For a hydroelectric power station, buy a grinder or something like that to replace manual grinding, which will save labor, improve efficiency, and generate electricity for lighting the whole village. It will serve multiple purposes with one stone and will truly benefit the village."
Long Zhaotian thought to himself why he hadn't thought of what his grandfather said. Electricity had long been available outside the mountains, feed had been produced using feed machinery, and electric lights had replaced kerosene lamps for lighting in cities and villages. Why didn't I think about this at all?
Didn't expect that? Am I slow to react?" But then he thought about it, after all, his grandfather was born as a Jinshi in the late Qing Dynasty and served as a second-rank official in the court. How could he compare with his grandfather.
"Having a lot of experience, broad knowledge, a keen eye, and quick reactions." Long Henian seemed to have insight into Long Zhaotian's thoughts.
"Yes, yes, yes." Long Zhaotian said with admiration.
"Tonight is New Year's Eve. As usual, the kids take the money and go all over the village and alleys. Go, you don't have to stay with me at home, the kids have their own world." Long Henian waved his hand, "Go.
.”
"Yeah." Long Zhaotian hesitated and walked out of the door.
On New Year's Eve in Fengshan Village, every household smoked from cooking, stewed fish, stewed chicken, stir-fried snow peas, stir-fried sauerkraut... The whole village was filled with the fragrant New Year flavor.
Every house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and a group of children wearing new clothes were chasing each other and running past him.
Looking at these children, he recalled the scenes of playing with Wang Ergou, Shi Chizai, Long Xiaolan, and Long Xiaohua in his childhood——
Ever since he was sensible at the age of three, every New Year's Eve, after having the New Year's Eve dinner, taking the red chips given by his father and his mother, he would put on the new clothes that his mother had sewn for him. Before going out, his mother would always say
You have to nag a few words: "My God, be careful not to stain your new clothes, and don't pick up firecrackers to burn. Remember?"
He always said obediently: "Mom, remember." But as soon as he jumped out, he turned a deaf ear to what his mother said, and joined Wang Ergou and his childhood friends who were waiting for him at the door.
With the whole village showing off, Long Xiaolan and Long Xiaofeng handed the cannon they picked up to Wang Ergou.
He always volunteered, snatched the cannon from Wang Ergou's hand, took out a pack of matches from his bag, struck one and lit the cannon with the powder, then threw it forward, and the cannon crackled.
"Bang" sounded, looking at Long Xiaolan, Long Xiaofeng and the others covering their ears in fear, he was so excited that he was dancing and squealing, just like a warrior.
Nights in mountain villages are almost always filled with heavy fog, and the damp mud and dust splash on their new clothes. They don't care at all, running and laughing, mixed with the sound of firecrackers one after another, and the New Year goes by like this.
…
Since he went to Gaode Normal University to study, he has never been able to put on the new clothes made by his mother, and he has never been able to get together with his childhood friends in the village to celebrate the New Year.
"Hubby, isn't that Brother A Tian?" Suddenly, a female voice came from behind Long Zhaotian.
Long Zhaotian turned around and saw Wang Ergou and Long Xiaofeng walking toward him with a child about two years old under the moonlight.
He touched his head and realized that as the group of children came to the underworld, they had been standing there for a while, and their hair was soaked by the night mist.
"Yeah, I was just thinking about the scene when I was a kid and my friends, picking up firecrackers in front of every house, burning firecrackers, and running around the village on New Year's Eve. I missed you, and you showed up. It's really God's wish, my heart
All your wishes come true!" Long Zhaotian looked at them with infinite deepness, then slowly turned to the like-minded girl beside them, "Is this?"
Wang Ergou patted Long Zhaotian's shoulder nonchalantly and said, "She is my and Afeng's daughter!"
Long Xiaofeng picked up her daughter and said, "She will be almost three years old after the Chinese New Year. Xiaoying, please call Brother Tian."
Long Zhaotian looked at Xiaoying's resemblance to a template printed by Long Xiaofeng when he was a child, and said with emotion: "Why do you look so similar, Ah Feng!"
"Xiaoying was born to Ah Feng, so it must be true! Ah Tian, when will you marry Xiaolan, the village beauty, and add another village beauty to our village?" Wang Ergou turned the topic to Long Zhaotian.
"When we were having the family reunion dinner just now, my grandfather and I were talking about this matter. When we met, your brother also asked about this worrying matter?" Long Zhaotian spread his hands, "Xiaolan and her mother have always been opposed to this marriage.
, I’m just worried about it.”
"Brother A Tian, you guys get together here first, and I'll go and ask Xiaolan out." Just as Long Zhaotian was about to dissuade him, Long Xiaofeng had already left with his daughter.
Long Zhaotian looked at the backs of her mother and daughter, and thought of Wang Ergou carrying his mother back. He didn't have time to thank him in person, so he solemnly said: "Brother, thank you very much for carrying my mother back from the mountain that day."
My family, this kindness and virtue will never be forgotten, please accept my bow." After saying this, he bowed his head.
Wang Ergou quickly helped Long Zhaotian up, "Brother, your mother is my mother, why are you so polite to me? Don't take it to heart."
Long Zhaotian said gratefully: "Brothers are brothers, how can I not take it to heart when you are so kind and kind? If I don't say what I mean in front of you, I will feel deeply uneasy. I am planning to go there during the Spring Festival.
I’m going to meet you and thank you in person.”
"Look, it's here again. A Tian, you really won't leave when you come back this time, will you lead your brothers to create great achievements?" Wang Ergou looked at him with concern and asked.
"It has been approved by the superiors for three years." Long Zhaotian looked at the village without electric lighting, changed the topic, and said what he had just discussed with his grandfather.
Wang Ergou slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "If what I said can be done, our village will be bright and the sesame seeds will bloom more and more!"
"I want to do it after the New Year. You will be responsible for the construction of the power station and feed processing first. Aguang will be responsible for the production and management of the chicken farm. I will go out to implement the purchase and sales contract and open a sales department..."
As Long Zhaotian was talking, Long Xiaofeng came back.
Wang Ergou didn't see Long Xiaolan and asked anxiously: "Where is Xiaolan?"
"Oh, don't mention it. I just went to Sister Xiaolan's house. She and her mother were making rice dumplings in the kitchen, and her father and her brother were in the living room making housework." Long Xiaofeng narrated.
"A Tian is waiting for her in the underworld, have you told Xiaolan?" Wang Ergou interrupted impatiently.
"Her mother is beside her, what should I say to Xiaolan?" Long Xiaolan glared at Wang Ergou, "Xiaolan and I chatted for a while, then excused Xiaoying to go to bed early, got up and left."
Wang Ergou stamped his feet and said, "Oh, isn't this a trip in vain?"
"I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you so anxious?" Long Xiaolan looked at Long Zhaotian, "Brother A Tian,
When Sister Xiaolan sent me out, she whispered to me that she would meet you at the old place at 10 o'clock tomorrow." This chapter has been completed!
