Chapter 117 Thoughts

Li Tiejun came to Yang Xiaotao's house again, wrote down Yang Xiaotao's needs, and began to plan how to route the wiring, where to get a switch, and where to discharge the gate.

Li Tiejun was busy working on his own, and people in the courtyard also discovered the situation. Uncle Chen came closer and asked what was going on.

Yang Xiaotao did not hide it, but directly told the situation.

Uncle Chen has no idea about this. He is used to life at night and is not so urgent about electric lights.

However, he still asked some questions, and the one he was most concerned about was the ownership of the wires.

Yang Xiaotao had already figured it out a long time ago. Although he was the first to install the wires, these wires, including the erected pillars, all belonged to the state.

Yang Xiaotao knew clearly that Uncle Chen was worried about people in the courtyard causing damage. If this thing belonged to him, the people in the courtyard would never do him any good given their urine habits.

It's good to destroy it, but if not, you might have to steal some wires and sell them as garbage in the recycling bin.

"Uncle, I have asked you all."

"The wires and wire piles that were pulled over belong to the state, and I only have the right to use them."

"However, I spent money on it, so if others want to use it, they have to pay."

Yang Xiaotao explained, and Uncle Chen felt relieved.

Soon, the news that Yang Xiaotao wanted to pull the wire spread throughout the compound.

In this era, most of the use of electricity is in factories. This is also to use good steel on the cutting edge and better build the country.

As for individual homes, only rich people can pull electric wires, while others can just light a kerosene lamp.

Besides, there are not many useful things these days when electricity is plugged in. The most popular radios are battery-powered. When plugged in, they just use a light bulb. There is not much entertainment at night.

So it doesn't really matter if the power is on or off.

People in the courtyard had mixed reactions to Yang Xiaotao's pulling of the wires, and most of them were just watching.

"This little bastard knows how to spend money indiscriminately. With all that money, he might as well be helping the people in the almshouse."

"Why are you pulling a wire? If this hurts my dear grandson, I will make him pay for it."

I watched Li Tiejun coming in and out, and talking to people in the courtyard from time to time.

Mrs. Jia Zhang listened on the side and said that it would cost a lot of money. She was very angry, as if she had spent her family's money.

"Tear it, pull it, and when it's done, I'll use your home's wires and I won't pay you. I'll make you so heartless."

Mrs. Jia Zhang rolled her eyes, hugged the stick and cursed, and the young child burst into laughter after hearing this.

"My dear grandson thinks so too, right? He is worthy of being a descendant of our Jia family."

"Ha ha"

Qin Huairu heard her mother-in-law's laughter and went out to see what was going on. She saw people coming in and out of Yang Xiaotao's yard.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"What else can I do? Just mess around."

Jia Zhang said angrily, "I don't know how to spend some money, and I even connected the wires. Who do I think I am?"

Only then did Qin Huairu realize that it was Yang Xiaotao who wanted to pull the wire. She thought that when she got up at night, she could always see the lights of Yang's house.

Now that I think about it, I probably read with the light on.

Although the people in the courtyard didn't say anything, Qin Huairu knew clearly that they were jealous of Yang Xiaotao's attitude towards learning, jealous of his love of learning and his ability to learn. There was no one in the entire courtyard who was as perseverant as him.

The Third Master Yan Fugui was also ashamed of himself, and he even said something in front of everyone, "Those who accomplished great things in ancient times not only had extraordinary talents, but also must have perseverance.

It means that those who want to do great things must not only have talent, but also have perseverance.”

This means that Yang Xiaotao has perseverance. In the words of the old people in the countryside, this child can do great things.

Unfortunately, this is all for later.

The better Yang Xiaotao's life is now, the greater the harm will be to her.

"Isn't it just a matter of turning on the electricity? Look at how it has caused the whole hospital to have no peace during their rest days."

"I'm still pulling the wires. I'll cut them for you when the time comes. Let's see what you can do."

Qin Huairu suddenly heard this and was shocked. He knew that the wire belonged to the public. If he cut it and stole it, he would be arrested. Someone in their Qinjia Village didn't know this, so he cut a piece of it and used it as a belt. After a few days,

He was arrested by the police station.

Seeing her mother-in-law's attitude, she hurriedly said, "Mom, it belongs to the public. If it is damaged, you will be fined."

Mrs. Jia Zhang's mouth was half open, she felt distressed now that she was raising money.

"Who said it was damaged? What did you hear?"

"It's okay, don't wander around, hurry up and cook."

"Mom, we have no food at home."

"No face? Where is your money?"

Jia Zhang immediately jumped up after hearing this, and Qin Huairu was also aggrieved.

"Dongxu only gave me five yuan, and I have already used up the noodles I bought."

Jia Dongxu would give him ten yuan every month, but he only gave him five yuan this month. How could it be enough for the family?

Mrs. Jia Zhang naturally knows her son's personality. She can also have three yuan in her hand every month, but this is her pension fund and cannot be touched.

"You go find someone to borrow some, they are all neighbors, shouldn't we help each other?"

Qin Huairu was stunned on the spot.

Is this okay?

Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang's affirmative look, Qin Huairu walked towards the uncle's house with floral steps.

"Brother, let's get an electric light at home. I'm going to school and reading."

He Yuyu heard that Yang Xiaotao's house was going to install light bulbs, so he encouraged Sha Zhu.

"Go, go, what are you spending that money on?"

Silly Zhu was lying on the bed to rest. Someone asked him to make longevity noodles in the evening, so he was recuperating.

"Why spend money? It would be great to use electric lights, but this kerosene lamp is choking."

Silly Zhu turned over and said, "Don't read at night. What should I do if my eyes are tired? Look at those three uncles, they are not tired even if they have to carry a frame all day long."

"Yang Xiaotao is going to be like Yan Laoxi sooner or later if he tries so hard."

He Yuyu curled his lips and turned a deaf ear to Si Zhu's words.

"Lao Yi, this kid is really capable of twisting things."

The third uncle and Yi Zhonghai were playing chess in the courtyard. One was holding a stone and the other was holding a wooden stick. They were inextricably killed.

"Try it, young man."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to say anything more, especially about Yang Xiaotao. He had made up his mind to stay away.

Yan Fugui felt bored and continued to play chess.

Liu Haizhong was sitting on a recliner, holding a glass of water and enjoying himself.

"Dad, Yang Xiaotao has already pulled the wire. You are the second uncle of our hospital, so you can't let him take the lead."

Liu Guangqi was scurrying aside, Liu Haizhong put down the water glass and thought the same thing.

It would be so honorable to be the first in the compound to use electricity.

"Okay, I'll go ask."

He stood up from his bangs and walked towards the middle courtyard.

After a while, he walked back again.

At this time, Xu Damao and Brother Liu Guangqi were chatting. When they saw Liu Haizhong walking over, they asked quickly.

"Second uncle, how is the situation?"

Liu Haizhong waved his hand, "I asked and got four poles and more than a hundred meters of wire."

"How much did you ask?"

Xu Damao asked with concern.

"Wires, telephone poles, plugs, switches, zero and zero should always be smaller than one hundred!"

"And I heard that this guy installed his own electric meter and didn't want to hang out with the people in the compound."

When Liu Haizhong mentioned the price, he got discouraged.

These days, electricity bills are charged based on the number of light bulbs.

Basically, there is only one electric meter in each courtyard. An electrician comes to your home every month to read the meter and then calculate it into the electricity bill.

Then calculate the total number of light bulbs in the yard, how much each light bulb costs, and then calculate how much each household pays.
