Chapter 27 Electricity Problems
Yan Changqing was not surprised at all that there was a problem with the electricity bill. In the first month, he used less than two kilowatt hours of electricity at home. He was charged three yuan for two kilowatt hours, plus one yuan for other unknown charges, four yuan and two dollars.

If it wasn't for Yan Changqing who earned the money and came back, the family would probably not be able to sleep for a few days because of this little money—of course, if it wasn't for him, they wouldn't use so much electricity.

At that time, many people were already dissatisfied, but these days, electricians have privileges, and they have to pay in the name of their superiors, and many families have also paid the money.

And even if the kilowatt-hour of electricity is not used up, it will be charged according to the kilowatt-hour of electricity, plus a miscellaneous fee of one yuan, for a total of two yuan and six.

In the second month, many households dare not use electricity at all.

But the fee is still collected, even if it is not used at all, the miscellaneous fee of one yuan must be paid.

This is too much, but I never expected that the electrician who charged a period of time ago informed that now one yuan for miscellaneous expenses is not enough, there are losses, there are electric meters, etc., plus the previous one must pay another one yuan .

The discussion in the village is that the New Year is coming soon, and the electrician will take the opportunity to collect money for the New Year. In short, the dissatisfaction has accumulated to the verge of breaking out.

Not only Dayanzhuang, but also the two villages of Etouwan and Yatowa.

The miscellaneous fee charged by these two villages was one yuan and two at the beginning, because they were farther away, so the electrician said that the loss was greater and more was required.

Because of the proximity, these three villages form a brigade, and an electrician is in charge of the brigade.

Then some young people who were familiar with each other from the three villages gathered together and gradually became irritable as they talked, intending to discuss this issue.

There is only one topic, how to resist this electrician.

If it turns out...

Yan Changqing was still not surprised, he probably knew the root of the problem.

Why are only young people commenting on this issue, because older people are used to being charged various fees.

Another point is that, in fact, this problem is not as simple as young people think.

In fact, they soon discovered that they were not only up against the electrician, but others as well.

So when a group of young people discussed how to oppose the arbitrary charging of electricity bills, they encountered obstacles at the beginning.

Soon the village head brought a few people over, and told them to calm down and stop tossing.

This is obvious. An electrician does not dare to eat alone. He does not charge everyone. At least the few households in charge of each village and their close relatives do not have to pay the electricity bill, and it is shared among other households in the village.

These people don't pay, so everyone makes trouble about electricity bills, and they don't show up.

Not only that, but now a group of young people are making a fuss, and they have to stop it, otherwise what should they do if things get bigger?
Seeing that the young people were not easy to persuade, the village head began to come up with a unique trick: calling the parents.

Can't control you little bastards, and can't control you old men and old ladies?
The village chief made a move, and the people protesting the electricity bill dispersed immediately, but the dissatisfaction did not dissipate.

……

This is what Yan Erhe and his nephew were talking about. He is unreliable in the eyes of the elderly, but he is quite gregarious among the young people, and he is quite a mess.

The main reason is that he has a good personality, and he can play new tricks without fussing over every detail. Especially recently, he has a little money in his pocket, and has gained a little knowledge after going out many times, so he has more confidence, so he is a little different from other young people. Especially when you go out, you can bring twenty cents of cigarettes to smoke.

Cigarettes that cost [-] cents are considered high-end, and they look good when you take them out. Most of them are not worth smoking.

Believe it or not, there are really cheaper cigarettes nowadays. There is a kind of cool-smoking cigarette called Xialiangyan sold locally, and it only costs a few cents a pack.

Even if someone prepares a good cigarette, it is prepared to have guests to show off, and they will not smoke it at ordinary times. There are always two kinds of cigarettes in their pockets, one for appearance and the other for themselves. Even when they go home, they can smoke dry pipes. Anyway, there is a tobacco plant in the village, which can be smoked for a long time if you decorate it casually.

These are all unspoken things.

Yan Erhe did such a face-saving thing, it is impossible not to notice it when playing together. I asked him before how he was rich, but now he said that his nephew went to the show to earn money, which made a group of friends envious and jealous Hate, why don't I have such a capable nephew?

But it's not a good thing to mess around. For example, this time when a group of young people were arguing about electricity bills, young people from three villages gathered to talk, and for no reason he became the one who was more effective in speaking among the group of young people in Dayan Village.

It was probably the first time that someone was so 'important', so he was a little annoyed that this matter ended just as it started, so he came to discuss countermeasures with his nephew.

Yan Changqing doesn't want to care about this matter, the village is really not like what outsiders think, or what people miss many years later, the simple heart of the simple people, in fact, because they are too poor, there are also trivial nonsense. thing.

It's just that he doesn't like to think about it, anyway, he lives in peace, and he can do whatever he likes.

Seeing that the second uncle was so upset, Yan Changqing first asked him to express his opinion in front of his grandfather, and he would not say anything he said.

Then I explained the reason to him clearly.

In the end, he told the second uncle: "We are not short of this little money. You shouldn't be in charge of the matter. You should stop making troubles in the near future, so as not to be targeted by others."

Speaking of it, I have my own reasons. If it wasn't for me, my second uncle wouldn't be running around so early, he didn't have so much money in his pocket, and he wouldn't be so confident—Ma Dan, why does it feel like it's a good thing, but now it's a good thing? Something bad happened?

……

Amidst the old man's scolding, Yan Erhe walked away dejectedly and full of resentment.

It's not that he has any grievances against the old man or Yan Changqing, one is his own father, and the other is his own nephew, which is already recognized as the future hope of the two families, and he doesn't think about it at all.

Yan Erhe had resentment towards those people in the village, and he also blamed himself for his incompetence. Even if he knew the reason, he couldn't tell it, so he could only accept his anger honestly.

The philosopher once said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Yan Changqing also spent half of his life proving that he has no great ability - after many years in the countryside, the power of the village hegemony will not be eliminated, so he doesn't want to be troubled.

So he persuaded the second uncle to continue to study his various skills. In any case, his skills are more important.

People often say that you can't overwhelm yourself with too many skills, and craftsmen can't starve to death in famine years. It's true to master more skills.

Some initial skills grow very quickly, such as cooking and cattle feeding-yes, cattle feeding becomes a skill not long after the cattle are bought.

After all, cows eat a lot!
Of course, it’s fine to shovel cow dung. It’s not that he doesn’t like it, but that his family doesn’t want it.

He can also stand on a chair and stir the cattle feed with a wooden shovel while feeding the cows. No one asked him to shovel cow dung. It has been said that he is recognized as the hope of the whole family. Who would let him do this job...

But he didn't expect that the matter of the electricity bill would not end when the second uncle went back to sulk.

Suddenly there were rumors in the village that the Yan Erhe brothers had offended the village head, and there were also rumors that Yan Erhe was rich because he took his nephew out to play the erhu to beg...

And there's more to it than that...
