When they heard what Zhou Bin said, they were all stunned.

Zhou Jianming asked in surprise: "Binbin, what did you say? We want to build a power plant? Are you kidding?"

Han Xiuya also looked unconvinced: "Zhou Bin, you are kidding us, right? A power plant? How much does that cost!"

Zhou Bin said affirmatively: "I'm not kidding, I really plan to build a power plant for our village, then we won't have to worry about power outages anymore."

"Brother Bin, why do you suddenly want to do this?" Li Nan was a little confused.

Zhou Bin smiled and told everyone about Professor Wang's visit to investigate. After hearing this, everyone finally understood.

It turns out that the explosion there was caused by too much geothermal heat. Now the only way to ensure safety is to use up the excess geothermal heat. This is a good thing!

Zhou Bin continued, "We need to heat our homes in winter by burning boilers or using electricity. With geothermal heating, every household can install heating, and we won't be afraid of the cold anymore."

Zhou Jianming was very happy after hearing this. As he gets older, he becomes more and more afraid of the cold in winter.

We used to rely on the stove in the winter, but now we have set up a boiler in the backyard and rely on burning the boiler to keep warm in the winter.

But that thing is expensive and troublesome.

You have to look after it all day long, and sometimes when the boiler breaks down, people can freeze to death.

Most people in this village cannot afford it. Except for Zhou Bin who installed a heater, everyone else still relies on the stove to get through the winter.

If every household in the village had heating, everyone would be very happy, and the children would not be cold anymore.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jianming immediately said: "Binbin, you have a good idea, Dad supports you!"

Li Nan was also very happy because she hated power outages the most.

Sometimes when watching TV, the battery suddenly ran out, which made Li Nan very anxious.

But there is nothing you can do no matter how anxious you are. There is a power outage and you can't do anything about it.

It would be great if the village had its own power plant.

Only Han Xiuya looked at Zhou Bin with envy: "Zhou Bin, the people in your village are so lucky. We can use heating in winter. Our village is miserable. Everyone can only endure the cold in winter. The better ones have a stove."

Li Nan smiled and said, "Mom, isn't our house already equipped with heating? What are you worrying about?"

Han Xiuya smiled and said, "Your father and I are blessed. We have filial children like you. We have nothing to worry about. I just feel that the people in our village are pitiful."

Li Nan smiled slightly: "If you want to blame someone, blame our village for not having a good village chief. There is nothing we can do about it."

Han Xiuya suddenly became excited: "Yes, why isn't Zhou Bin from our village? If that's the case, our village would really have accumulated merits."

Zhou Bin felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and said with a smile, "Mom, if you and my dad need anything, just tell me. You can use coal as you like in the winter. If it's not enough, I'll send you more."

Han Xiuya nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, with you here, we don't have to worry about anything."

Time passed quickly and it was already afternoon, and Han Xiuya was ready to go back.

She has been here for more than two months and asked the old man to come over, but he just wouldn't come.

She felt a little worried, and now that Zhou Bin was back, she hurried home.

Zhou Bin drove his car to send his mother-in-law home, and then returned to the village.

After lunch, Zhou Bin immediately asked Aniu to notify the villagers to hold a meeting in front of the village committee.

It happened that everyone had just eaten and had nothing to do, so they came to the entrance of the village committee in groups of three or four.

Aunt Zhao took the lead, took a small stool, and sat in the open space in front of the door early.

At this time, Liu Junyi came over with a pipe in his mouth, and said with a smile from a distance: "Auntie, why are you here so early?"

Aunt Zhao laughed and said, "I came to see if the village chief is going to give everyone money."

Liu Junyi immediately asked, "Did you hear people say they were going to give out money?"

Aunt Zhao chuckled: "What money? You're dreaming! I was just teasing you."

Liu Junyi also smiled embarrassedly: "Oh, I really thought it was a handout."

While the two were chatting and laughing, Zhou Jianming arrived.

Liu Junyi immediately called him over and asked, "Jianming, what are you going to do by gathering everyone together?"

Zhou Jianming smiled mysteriously: "Good news, you will know in a moment."

"What good news? Tell us quickly." Aunt Zhao was already a little anxious.

Zhou Jianming pretended to be mysterious and said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? You will know in a moment."

Liu Junyi was anxious at the time: "You old man, why are you like this now? Tell me!"

Zhou Jianming laughed but didn't say anything, making the two of them scratch their heads in anxiety.

After a while, Aniu and Xiujuan came over with the babies, Li Jun and Tian Qing also came, and Liu Fen'e and her old husband also came over.

Then other people in the village came one after another, and there was a large crowd standing in front of the entrance of the village committee.

Everyone was talking to each other and said that life is much better now.

Since everyone started growing apples, although the income of each household is different, they can at least earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year.

Moreover, in the past two years, the price of apples has been rising, and everyone's life has been getting better and better.

Almost every family has bought a tricycle, a big color TV, and some have even bought motorcycles. Life is much better now than in the past.

There are two scenic spots and a water plant in the village. Almost every household in the village has people working in these places and receiving a fixed salary every month.

Wages have also gradually increased. Now the average person's monthly salary is 300 yuan, and those with better salaries can earn 400 to 500 yuan.

For example, people like Aniu and Li Jun already earn 600 yuan a month.
