Take the supermarket back to the times

Chapter 164

Although Su Xiaoruan felt that it was impossible for Yu Zhansong to be a down-to-earth worker, she didn't want to focus on him all the time.

It's not because of the distance, it's inconvenient, Su Xiaoruan simply feels that there is no need to waste time and energy on an unimportant person.

Live your own life, isn't it good?
At the end of July, the Red Star Brigade was finally electrified.

When Li was doing the wiring, Su Xiaoruan asked his parents to buy more cables. This requires an industrial ticket, and it can only be bought from the power bureau.

Normally, there is a minimum number of wires allocated to households, at least to install electric lights in households. Of course, this does not require farmers to use tickets, but the installation of electric meters requires payment, and electric meters are not installed. , do not power on.

Su Jianye's family has many houses, including the new house and the old house, there are nine, a long stretch.

The normal use of the line alone has to be several times that of other people's, not to mention that Su Xiaoruan deliberately asked the family to install several more sockets, which is even more expensive.

Finally, the electricity was turned on, and when the light cord was pulled at night, the house was brightly lit. I don't know how many people were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

Su Jianye's family is fine, after all, there was a solar horse lantern that Su Xiaoruan brought out before, so I'm not too curious about electric lights.

Su Xiaoruan heaved a sigh of relief. Almost every room has reserved sockets. For safety's sake, Su Jianye used some wooden blocks to wrap the socket around.

Su Jianye also heard from Su Xiangdong that the wood is not conductive.

Because the electricity was just connected, the people at the power bureau still arranged for electricians to give safety explanations to the whole brigade.

For example, you can't touch this wire casually, it will kill you!
Another example is that the light bulb at home is broken. If you want to change the light bulb, you must turn off the light first. If you are not sure whether it is turned off, then remove the box in your home, otherwise you may be electrocuted and die.

After the electrician talked for two days, it made the big guys panic, and some people even started to mutter that they shouldn't be connected to the electricity.

Too dangerous.

What if I get electrocuted again?
Because the electricity has just been turned on, the electricians in this wave of training basically have to talk about the safe use of electricity every day. No accidents can happen to the line.

It's good to have power on.

But not all homes have electricity.

Because of poor conditions, some families refused directly when they heard that they would have to pay a few dollars more for the installation of electric meters and wiring.

Su Guoan didn't persuade such people much, after all, it was a matter of money, how could he make decisions for them?

There are quite a few people in the brigade who are not connected to electricity, but because of the utility poles and the majority of electricity users, it will be easy for these people to get electricity again in the future.

The first two days were fine, because the electricity was connected, and those who did not have electricity at home would go to the next door or relatives’ house to watch the fun, and know what is a light and what is a socket.

In fact, except for the brigade headquarters, only Su Guoan and Su Jianye had installed sockets in the entire brigade, and none of the others had installed it.

Su Jianye actually didn't understand this, but both his daughter and his son said they needed to install the socket, so he installed it directly. Anyway, the people from the power bureau helped to do it.

After wave after wave of fresh-watchers left, the family gradually returned to calm.

But a few days later, someone quarreled over the use of electricity.

The first to quarrel was Yu Zhansong's grandmother.

Their family was spending money, so they didn't install electric lights. At night, it was the same as before, either it was black and smeared, or a kerosene lamp was lit. Candles were too expensive, and the old lady couldn't bear to buy them.

There was no electricity at home, and I didn't find it inconvenient at first.

But then this old lady Yu was too sharp. At night, she would go to other people's houses to visit, and she would bring her daughter-in-law, granddaughter and so on. A vest or something.

Once or twice, it's hard for others to say anything.

But if you go to other people's house every night to do handicrafts and use other people's electric lights, isn't that a bit too much?

This old lady Yu is also shrewd. She didn't go there for a few days after she saw that she was unhappy.

Do you think Mrs. Yu is aware of her thick skin?
That is impossible!

It's just a change of one to rub.

Mrs. Yu has already calculated, neighbors, relatives, etc., how much kerosene their family will save if they spend a few days with this house and that house for a few days!

Not only that, the lights are so bright, and the women's manual work can be done faster and better than before.

They are all in the same brigade, and because Mrs. Yu is getting old, most people are too embarrassed to fall out with her, and they usually talk about it in private. Later, some people simply tried to lock the gate early. I can't even call.

This is also impossible.

Although I paid for my own use, and when the Yu family came to use it, I also paid for it, but I just feel unhappy!
Spend your own money, but cheap old Yu's, why?

That night, Mrs. Yu went to knock on the door of Yu Dahu's house, but she was blocked outside, and the door would not be opened no matter what she called.

At first there was no sound in the house, but the courtyard wall was low, and Mrs. Yu had already seen the lights in the house, and knew that there was someone in the house, so she opened her voice and shouted.

Later, Ma Dahua, Yu Erhu's daughter-in-law, stood in the yard and shouted to her through the gate.

"Auntie, go back if you have nothing to do. We have to wash up and go to bed. We are exhausted from work every day."

When Mrs. Yu heard this, how could she not know that the other party disliked her?
"Hey, Dahua, what are you talking about? You open the door for my aunt first, and I'll talk to my sister-in-law about something."

"Unfortunately, my parents are already asleep, so let's talk about what's going on tomorrow morning."

Ma Dahua yawned and said, "I'm sleepy too, and I have to get up early tomorrow, so hurry back."

Ma Dahua didn't say anything bad about Mrs. Yu inside or outside the words, let alone swear words.

But Mrs. Yu just felt uncomfortable.

Why?

Think she can't see that this is to keep them out of the door on purpose?

Old Madam Yu was so angry, but she had no choice but to bring someone home in a resentful way.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Yu came over to find Dahu's parents for an explanation.

"Old sister-in-law, what did you say? You said that I came to talk to you last night, and your Dahua didn't even open the door to me. What do you mean? It means that life at home is easier, Can you stop treating me as an elder?"
