The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1561 [1560] Utility bills
Although it is the end of August and the weather in the capital is not as hot as in my hometown, the military training is still hot enough. Even though they carry military water bottles on their backs every day, they still feel that their throats are dry because they have to keep shouting slogans. Ding Wei didn't want to talk about how tanned her skin was, after all, there is no sunscreen for you to protect yourself these days.

Although she is young, she is very expressive, especially in military training, and she is unwilling to be inferior, which makes these brothers and sisters in the class admire her very much, except to please her when she is an assistant. Water, don't be so strict, and buy delicious food to feed her from time to time.

Because of her young age, Ding Wei has been doted on by her classmates since high school, so she didn't feel embarrassed to be fed by these people when she was in college. Instead, she accepted it as a matter of course. Treat them harshly.

"Hey, you little heartless bastard, you already accepted the ice cream we bought, why are you so stern and selfless? My hand just didn't stick to the seam of my trousers. Does it hurt so much? You little girl , It's over, brother is angry."

"Brother, there are so many classes here shouting at each other. You said that if I let down my guard against you, do you mean that we will be the bottom one by default? Others are a coach, and our class has an extra assistant like me. Since the coach is so Trust me, I don't think I can waste such a good opportunity, I will definitely greet everyone well, and strive to win No.1 in our class, with this honor, we can be regarded as famous among freshmen, don't you think?"

Those who can study medicine, which one is not the best in the class, this head is smarter than the other, and they all have the strength to refuse to admit defeat.

In fact, they didn't really want Ding Wei to release the water, but they just wanted to make fun of this boring military training life. Now they are somewhat embarrassed to be pointed out by the little girl in person, and none of them talked about it. Take it to heart, when it's time to pet, you still have to pamper them. Of course, Ding Wei didn't let them down. From time to time, she would invite everyone to drink soda and eat ice cream to relieve the heat. If it wasn't difficult to buy watermelon, she could buy it A dozen watermelons came to reward everyone.

It's not rude to come and go, Ding Wei is so generous, who doesn't like her in the class?Especially since she is still the youngest and can talk, even Zhu Lin and Tao Hui can't help feeding her some snacks sometimes, that kind of subconsciousness, even they themselves can't figure out why.

If the day's training is too tiring, Ding Wei and Xiu Min will choose to eat at school, take a short break after eating, and then ride home.

When they got home to feed the chicken and the dog, the two of them would take the initiative to pick up the books and go to study. The school has started, and the library cards have been issued to them, so now they can borrow books in the library.

Although the courtyard house was connected to electricity, the voltage in the early 80s was always unstable, especially during the peak power consumption in summer, and there were frequent power outages.

So the two of them prepared a lot of candles at home, and lit candles to light up the night battle when the power went out.

Candles are used up very quickly. The used candles are collected, reboiled into wax water, added with thread, and placed in a suitable mold, which can be automatically pressed into new candles. Not to mention Ding Wei is handy in doing this, even Xiu Min Yes, so candles are more economical than kerosene lamps.

There is a pressurized well in the yard, as well as tap water. They are used to using ground water, and tap water is only used when things are critical.

The water fee is charged per head, and the two of them are registered as permanent residents of her family, so the water fee is [-] cents per person per month, and one yuan per month, which is not cheap.

Electricity costs thirty-eight cents, which is definitely expensive in an era when the average salary was only a few tens of dollars, so many people still use kerosene lamps for lighting, and even if the lights are turned on, they are only turned on for a while.

As for household appliances, it is impossible for rich people to buy everything. After all, some of them need overseas Chinese coupons to buy them, and it will be [-] or [-] years after they become popular.

Ding Wei plans to buy a refrigerator whenever she has the chance. A refrigerator is indispensable in summer. The chilled fruits and drinks are really cool.

As for electric fans, although I don’t have them at home, there are ceiling fans in the dormitory. I turn them on for a while when I go to sleep at noon, not to mention how comfortable they are. Of course, there are electric meters in the school, and they have to pay for the electricity bills themselves.

At home, she plans to reinstall it next year. This year, the house needs to be tidied up. After a few days of free time, she has to find a worker to repaint the house. Clean it up slowly every day, and there is no rush.

In fact, the summer in the capital is at least several degrees worse than the summer in their hometown, and it is not so hot. The older generation also pays attention to calmness and natural cooling.

At sunset, the old men and women in the alleys and alleys sat at the gate with cattail fans and chatted to enjoy the coolness. The atmosphere was very good, and it was also the most photographic scene recalled in the years to come.

There is no rest day for military training, at most half a day of military training on weekends, no afternoon, but you will not be given a full day off.

At this time, everyone has six working days a week, and the school also has six days of classes, so they only have half a day off on weekends. Even if it is half a day, everyone is very happy. Taking a shower and washing clothes, the girls' dormitory only takes half an afternoon. In time, the clothes were hung all over the balcony, but on the boys' dormitory side, there were only a few scattered clothes.

Now Ding Wei and Xiu Min are running on both sides, after their efforts like ants moving house, they finally arranged the current dormitory like that.

They were doing military training at school on Sunday morning, and when they got home in the afternoon, they found a note stuck in the door and opened it.

"Yeah, my sister Lan came this morning. She said she took some things and put them at Mr. Niu's next door. I'll come back to pick them up. It's a coincidence that we're not at home,"

Ding Wei hurried to the neighbor's house. When Uncle Niu saw Ding Wei, he quickly waved to her.

"Come on, little girl, your sister came to see you. I told her that you went to school. She might have other things to do, so she didn't go to school to look for you. She said she would come to see you later."

Ding Wei thanked Uncle Niu and returned home. She opened the things Ding Lan brought over and laughed.

"This is my aunt's pickled cucumber, chopped chili sauce, chives, and shredded mustard greens. It's delicious. My sister brought it to me from a long distance. It's really a good idea. The two of us have settled down for dinner during this time." .I remember godmother’s leek flower is also a must, isn’t it?”

Grandma's family makes chive flowers every year, and the finished chive flowers will be distributed to several aunts' families. Not only is grandma's craftsmanship good, but grandpa is also very good at making this, so my mother didn't learn anything else. This craft alone is called A unique skill, enough for her to show off for several years!
Now that Ding Wei said this, Chen Xiumin was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Ding Wei in surprise.

"You still know this? I always thought that this stuff is rare in our countryside. If you like it, I'll ask my mother to send some to us later. My family makes some every year!"

Ding Wei quickly shook her head, "Oh, no need. Look, my sister brought over a big bottle. It's enough for us to eat for a long time. I don't eat much of it, so I just put some in it when eating noodles, or put some freshly baked hot steamed buns in it. It's spicy and fragrant, very delicious."

It is true that no one cares about leek flowers, but the taste of them is a kind of reminiscence.

"That's when I felt something was missing, why don't we grow some leeks at home?"

Ding Wei shook her head helplessly, "My mother said that we can't grow leeks at home. Cutting one crop after another has a bad meaning. I'll see if I can plant some on the back wall, but if it's in the shade, it probably won't grow well. It's just the two of us, we can make a living together."

The green vegetables at home have already grown, but they are too small and tender, and a handful is not enough to fry a plate, so I have to buy some vegetables to eat.

Fortunately, there are a lot of vegetables in this season. Even if you go to the vegetable stand later, you can still buy them. It’s just that the quality is not good. Relatively speaking, the price is also cheaper.

"Have you noticed? Nowadays, there are more and more private vegetable sellers. These old people don't know where they came from, and they secretly sell vegetables in the alleys. Their vegetables are not only cheap, but also juicy. Who wouldn't like to go there?" , the key is not to give you any shortfalls, our house is such a big place, next year we will definitely grow vegetables well, make more varieties, and maybe earn some pocket money!"

"It's not just vegetables. I think there are also stewed pork, steamed buns, fried dough sticks. Some people secretly sell them, and no one cares about them."

"This thing happens one after another. It sounds like the wind is rain, and it's tight and loose. But do you think we don't need tickets when we buy things at school? In fact, this is a trend of liberalization, and shopping malls There are more and more things in the city that offer two prices, the ones that give tickets are cheaper, and the ones that don’t give tickets are more expensive, and the common people choose the more expensive ones, and maybe one day, these tickets will be useless.”

"It's quite early for them to open the stall. Let's drink wontons early tomorrow morning, so we can make it later."

The food in this era is not so messy and messy, it is very clean and hygienic, and the ingredients are all authentic. You can easily eat outside, and you have to do it yourself. In order to save trouble, Ding Wei decided to eat more Eat out, and help my mother find out if there is any suitable business for her.

She didn't think about this problem before, but now that their family has such a big house, why not use it?

At most until the beginning of next year, the situation will be very good. We must seize this opportunity and catch the first pot of gold after the release.

In addition to the low cost of selling snacks, other clothes and electronic products are not suitable for parents to do. The main reason is that she is not worried about them going to the south to make money. She has no time, so she can only keep them under her nose. Do these small businesses.

Although a small business is small, as long as it is done steadily, it is better than going to work. As long as my parents can stay stable, my uncles and aunts can also come to help in the future. The market in the capital city is not comparable to those in small counties. Especially here is Shichahai, and it will be a tourist attraction in the near future, surrounded by people, even if you sell ice cream drinks in summer, you can make a lot of money.
