Great joy.
In the brigade office, in addition to several cadres of the brigade, there were also some backbone workers in the village, and Wang Dahai and Wang Zhaozhao.
The theme of today's meeting is that Hebian Village is expected to have electricity this year.
The purpose of the meeting is to solicit everyone's opinions on whether to proceed with this matter or not, and how to proceed.
Because getting electricity to the whole village is not as simple as planting poles and laying wires, there are many other issues involved.
What was most closely related to the members of the production team was that they had to run electric wires to their homes, buy light bulbs and switches, and more importantly, they had to pay electricity bills for using electricity.
"Some people might not be happy about having to pay money." After the excitement, the people present calmed down.
"If you don't want to, just don't install wires and don't use electricity. Isn't that simple?"
"That's not good, right? We finally have the chance to use electricity. Of course, the best thing would be if every household in the village had access to electricity. If you can't bear the electricity bill, you can just use less."
"It costs money to install the wires, right?"
“…”
Everyone has their own opinions, but there are actually only two.
One is to connect the wires to the homes of those who are willing, and ignore those who are unwilling.
Another option is to connect wires to every household and provide electricity to the entire production team, but this is too difficult and it cannot be forced on everyone.
Wang Zhaozhao and Wang Dahai just listened from beginning to end without saying a word.
"Uncle Dahai, and Miss Zhao, don't be so reserved. Feel free to share your ideas." Chen Changlin called out their names.
"We have so many students in our family. I would love to have electricity. Anyway, our family has signed up," said Wang Dahai.
This is the truth.
Now in the whole village, among those of Wang Dahai's age, only Wang Dahai has all his grandchildren going to school.
Even though Chen Changlin's father, Captain Chen, built a primary school in the village, there were still two girls who did not go to school.
It was Wang Zhaozhao's turn. He imitated Wang Dahai's statement and said, "As a student, I have been looking forward to the electricity supply to our village for the past two years."
After hearing what he said, Chen Changlin and the others nodded secretly. Isn’t that right?
It’s so great to have electricity. It’s much brighter than kerosene lamps or candles.
"What about the whole village...the whole production team?" Wang Xiangdong pressed her, explaining himself, "You can read and have an active mind. Tell us your opinion, too."
I won’t be able to read until I turn twelve at the end of the year.
Wang Zhaozhao smiled. After all, she had only experienced half a month of training and was used to being called upon to speak.
“Regarding electrification for the entire village… I think we should do our best to educate the public and get every household to voluntarily get electricity.
If there are those who are stubborn and refuse to give in, it is best not to cross out their names when reporting.
I think we should put up the poles and wires at the same time, especially since there are several households living in our production team that are relatively scattered. It would be best to take over the wires for everyone. At worst, we can just not install them in their houses."
"Those people are stubborn, why should we... ask them to pretend?" Some people think it is unnecessary.
Even thinking about it makes me angry.
Because there are always a few households in their production team who like to drag their feet in everything they do.
They are always afraid of being at a disadvantage, always feeling that others are going to take advantage of them, or that there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, and someone has gone through it first, and when they are sure that it is a good thing, they start clamoring or making a fuss to join in.
Wang Zhaozhao really wanted to say that this was not just for those people.
"Electricity will definitely become widespread in the future. Maybe the government will demand that every household has access to electricity... Even if those people find it convenient for others to have electricity, will they regret it?
They deserve it, but they are members of our production team after all, you can't just ignore them, and you will definitely have to give them the punishment in the end.
Then, if we need to plant electric poles or string wires for each household individually, it will not only be troublesome, but there may also be problems such as difficulty in installation and need to change the wires.
So, I think it’s better to install them all together.
Now it’s an overall plan, and it’s a big move, so many things will be done better.”
Ah, this...
Several people looked at Wang Zhaozhao with curiosity.
This little girl thinks long-term.
But if you think about it carefully, it is really like that. If those people regret it, even if they can delay and ignore it for a while, or make things difficult, in the end, this matter still has to be done.
When Chen Changlin, Wang Xiangdong and others first received the notice, they discussed and thought of these things, so they called a small meeting.
So the meeting was basically set, and a mobilization meeting was held to try to get every household to voluntarily connect to electricity. If there were still some individuals who were stubborn and couldn't get out of the situation, they would just be left alone and the wires would be pulled over, but not installed in the homes.
It is definitely not possible to force it, so as not to cause any trouble.
Although they had to brave the rain to attend the meeting, Wang Zhaozhao had no complaints and was very happy.
Even though their family was about to move to the county town and she was going to study there, she was extremely happy.
"Walk carefully and don't fall..."
"Bang!"
Seeing that she was hopping as she walked, Wang Dahai tried to remind her. However, before he could finish his words, Wang Zhaozhao slipped and fell.
Ah, it hurts.
hiss……
Wang Zhaozhao, who was lifted up by Wang Dahai by grabbing his arm, gasped.
Her buttocks felt hot, and she subconsciously used the base of her left palm to support herself on the ground, causing her to fall.
Wang Dahai took her under his arm and walked home quickly.
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
She still remembers how her grandmother carried her like a chicken when she was five years old. Today, there is one more thing happening. When she is over eleven years old, her grandfather holds her like a bundle of straw.
Fortunately, we were not far from home, and we didn’t meet many people on the road because it was raining.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Xie Ailian, who was mending shoe soles at the gate, was startled and asked across the courtyard, "What's going on?"
"Grandma, I fell down." Wang Zhaozhao, who was being held horizontally, tried to raise his head and said with a smile showing his teeth.
"Oh, Zhao girl, did you fall and become stupid? Why are you laughing so happily after falling?" Shi Haiyan was sitting under the eaves of the third room, counting soybeans. Seeing Wang Zhaozhao like that, she couldn't help but interrupt.
Wang Dahai had already brought Wang Zhaozhao to the main hall door and pretended to put her down. Wang Zhaozhao used her dirty hands to lift her drooping hair and said, "Aunt San, I'm in high spirits because of the good news."
"What? What good news do you have? What did you do? Are you asking for another bonus?" Shi Haiyan asked excitedly.
At the same time, he came to the main room holding a sieve filled with soybeans.
Wang Zhaozhao smiled, glanced at the soybeans in her sieve, and her eyes sparkled. "Aunt San, are you here to give soybeans to Grandpa and Grandma? Can you also give me some to fry as a snack?"
"You wish!"
Shi Haiyan glared at her, turned around and went back.
Xie Ailian also glared at her, "Still standing here blowing the wind, go quickly and wash yourself thoroughly from head to toe."
"good."
