fisherman's evening

Chapter 65 Telephone Line

Nothing happened all night, and it was dawn in a blink of an eye.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, people in Yujiawa Village got busy early in the morning. The men went to the beach to catch up with the sea before starting work at [-] o'clock, and the women went to the mountains in small groups to do farm work in the fields.

Yu Laosan had to come to the beach early today, and he also wanted to pick up the seafood from his own beach and take it home to dry in the sun.

"Third Uncle!" Yu Jun waved his hand and shouted: "Third Uncle, I went to the town government yesterday, and the town said that someone might come to answer the phone line for our village today."

"Ah?" Xu Laosan was a little surprised, and said, "Who told you?"

"Secretary Xu, Secretary Xu from the town." Yu Jun swallowed, and continued: "He also said that he will fix the electricity for us in the next few days."

Yu Lao San was a little confused. He also mentioned the telephone line several times, but it still didn’t work. The transformer has been broken for more than a year. I went to the power station to ask, but they all said it couldn’t be repaired. It was resolved, which made Yu Lao San himself a little flattered.

"Did Secretary Xu say this himself?" Yu Laosan asked, "Telephone? Power on?"

"Yes, Huzi and I were right there at the time." Yu Jun said, "If you don't believe me, go ask Huzi."

Seeing that Yu Jun was so sure, Yu Laosan threw the rake in his hand to Yu Jun and ran to the village by himself.

"Jun'er, help me pick up the seafood first, I have to go back to the village and ask Miss Qin first."

Yu Jun looked at the anxious figure of Yu Laosan, then looked at the rake in his hand, said a good thing to his third uncle, and was assigned a job.

On the other side, Xu Qin got up early in the morning, put hot water and a few sweet potatoes on the chair in the east room.

"Girl, are you awake?" Xu Qin knocked on the door tentatively, and said, "I'll bring you hot water, wash your face and eat."

Qin Qing also got up early, and at this moment, compared with yesterday, her feet are a bit stronger. She was still limping yesterday, but today she really can't stand up.

"Get up, Aunt Xu." Qin Qing said, "Auntie, I have to trouble you to bring me some water. My feet hurt even more today."

Xu Qin heard it, so she went into the room with hot water, and said: "It's okay, girl, just bear with it, there is such a process, and the next day is the most painful."

Boom boom boom!
As soon as the words fell, Yu Lao San knocked on the door of Xu Qin's house.

"Secretary Yu, why are you looking for Miss Qin this early in the morning?" Xu Qin opened the door, understanding that she must be looking for Qin Qing when she came so early.

Yu Laosan walked into the east room.

"Hello, Secretary Yu." Qin Qing said with a smile, "Is there anything you can do with me?"

"Miss Qin, I heard that Secretary Xu has asked someone to connect the telephone line to our village, and also needs to repair the transformer."

"This is a good thing." Qin Qing said: "After the phone call, you don't have to run back and forth."

"Miss Qin, I thank you on behalf of the village!"

Yu Laosan thought it was Qin Qing's help to connect the village's telephone line and repair the transformer.Since I came to the village, I have done a good thing for the village. I must have done my homework before I came here.

"Ah? Thank you for what?" Qin Qing said, "I haven't been notified about the phone line and transformer repair."

"You don't know?" Yu Lao San was puzzled, and said, "Then I heard from my nephew that Secretary Xu said it himself yesterday."

Qin Qing thought for a while, and then said: "If this is true, since Secretary Xu said it, then it must be done. You just wait for the people from the town to deal with it!"

Yu Laosan felt that what Qin Qing said was reasonable, not to mention whether the town would come to repair it today, if Xu Zhengming said it, it would be absolutely inseparable. After contacting Xu Zhengming a while ago, Yu Laosan was already very I am convinced that Xu Zhengming is a good official.

"Okay! I'll go to the village and wait." Yu Lao San turned around and walked out.

"Secretary Yu, he does things in a hurry!" Xu Qin laughed.

After two hours, the men in the village brought road construction tools to their respective road sections one after another, ready to start work.

"Third, what are you doing squatting here? You, the leader, can't be lazy!"

Yu Lao Er also pushed a small cart to the construction site, saw his younger brother squatting on the big rock at the entrance of the village, and thought he was being lazy.

"I'm not lazy, second brother, there is something good in our village today." Yu Laosan said with a smile: "And it's a great thing!"

"What's a good thing? What's bigger than road construction?" Yu Laoer put down the cart, lit the dry tobacco and started smoking.

"Maybe the town will come to pull the telephone line for us today." Yu Lao San also took out the pipe, lit it up and took two puffs, and said: "And in the past two days, the electricity in our village can also be cleaned up." good."

blah blah blah
The two took a few puffs of dry cigarettes on their own.

"I won't tell you anymore, I have to go to work on the road." Yu Laoer said.

When Yu Lao San saw this, he also got up and followed, saying: "Wait for me, I will go too, I will go to work on the road and wait."

On the construction site, road construction was in full swing. Guangfa led people to work hard. Lao Hai sent Zhang Shugen to the hospital yesterday, and led Yu Jun and the others to clean up the stones on both sides of the road when he came back.Yu Laosan was shoveling the soil while waiting for the people from the town.

As noon approached, the big guy had been working for a long time, his stomach was empty, and his hands and feet didn't have the strength they had in the morning.

At this moment, Xu Qin was leading a few women to carry a large bamboo basket, in which were some sweet potatoes, dried fish and other food.

"Dinner is ready!" Xu Qin shouted: "It's already noon, everyone should take a rest, eat something and drink some water."

When the villagers heard Xu Qin's voice, they put down their tools in twos and threes and went to Xu Qin's place to get food.

Yu Laosan put down the shovel in his hand and was about to turn around to eat when he caught a glimpse of two people in green cloth clothes coming from a distance, who looked like messengers from the town.

"He's from the town?" Yu Lao San licked his chapped lips and shouted from afar.

When the two men approached, Yu Lao San asked again: "Are you from the town?"

"We are the messengers in the town." One of the older people said, "Is this Yujiawa Village?"

"Yes, yes, I am the Party Secretary of Yujiawa Village, and my name is Yu Jianguo." Yu Laosan said quickly.

"That's fine, we are the town's request to come and connect the phone line to your village."

Yu Laosan heaved a sigh of relief. The person who had been looking forward to it all morning finally came. It seemed that Yu Jun hadn't lied to him, it was true.

"Your village is a little far away from the nearest telephone line, and our comrades are still behind." The correspondent said, "Let us come to inform you in advance, don't dig up the telegraph poles in the village, we have to follow the telegraph poles." You take it."

The utility poles in Yujiawa Village were still made of sandstone cement many years ago. After the two correspondents knew that Yujiawa Village was building roads, they were afraid that the villagers would dig up the utility poles. They also had to re-erect the pole, which was a big problem.
