Chapter 373 Paying the Electricity Bill Can Make You Difficult
The most convenient thing is the electric light. Installing a higher-wattage bulb will be much brighter than the oil lamp they are using now.
Moreover, it is easy to switch.
In addition, they can also buy a TV and some other home appliances.
It just so happened that Jiang Ping said today that she still had electrical appliance tickets.
But some people's ideas are a bit biased.
“I heard that electricity costs money.”
"Yes, I heard about it too. My niece married and moved to the city, and she told me that their household electricity consumption is measured by something called an electric meter."
"Yeah, yeah, I heard that too. Electricity in the city is charged based on that. Tsk tsk, how can we, who rely on God for our livelihood, afford electricity..."
"If you can't afford it, isn't there someone else who can?"
"Besides, do you know how bright the light is?"
"I've seen them in big stores in the city. The TVs they sell are like little movies. How wonderful it would be to watch movies at home every day..."
"Tsk, even if we had electricity, we couldn't afford that little movie you mentioned."
"I don't care. I think electricity is good."
"What's good about that? You'll have a hard time paying the electricity bill."
Zhao Fa looked at the increasingly lively scene and asked everyone to be quiet again.
"The electricity has been turned on. I don't care whether you want to use it or not. You have to press the button."
"Even if you don't need it there, you still have to install it for me."
When the villagers who were afraid of spending money on electricity heard Zhao Fa say this, they did not refute him.
Anyway, I won’t need it at home by then.
They just don’t believe it. How can you ask me for money if I don’t use electricity?
Those who think it is none of their business and should stay out of it now feel like they are just spectators watching the fun.
Soon, their hope of getting lucky was shattered by Zhao Fa's words.
"In three days, our Sihe Village will begin installing electric poles. Every household, regardless of gender, must provide one person to help."
"Captain, since we don't need electricity at home, we don't need to send anyone out, right?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Fa looked at the man unhappily: "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Every family must send one person."
At this point, those families who didn't plan to connect to electricity or send anyone out immediately swallowed back what they were about to say.
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen are the most supportive of connecting to electricity. Some people whose families are well-off or have relatives in the city also know that electricity is a good thing.
For a time, the villagers' thoughts became polarized.
Zhao Facai didn't care what they thought, his house had to have electricity anyway.
As for those who were unwilling, he ignored them. After the notification was completed, he was unwilling to waste any more words and left with the loudspeaker, leaving behind a group of villagers who were still in the heated discussion.
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen have never liked to meddle in other people's business, and they did not express their opinions like others.
Tan Chen carefully protected Shang Ruoting and walked out of the crowd.
Aunt Chen Si hadn't seen Shang Ruoting walking around in the village for a long time. When she saw the couple today, she went over to greet them enthusiastically.
It didn't matter what she saw, Aunt Chen Si immediately smiled.
"Ruoting, are you pregnant?"
Aunt Chen Si usually has a loud voice, and because she was so shocked just now, her voice was a pitch higher.
Everyone around who heard her speak looked towards Shang Ruoting's lower abdomen.
Shang Ruoting smiled and nodded at Aunt Chen Si.
Aunt Chen Si looked at Shang Ruoting's belly and continued to ask, "Look at your belly, it must be at least a month old, right? Tsk tsk, your waist is full, it's obviously a boy."
Shang Ruoting no longer thinks it matters whether the baby is a boy or a girl. Now that she has four babies, she must have both sons and daughters, right?
"Auntie, I'm almost four months pregnant."
"What?"
"Only four months?"
Aunt Chen Si was obviously a little bit unbelievable. She had given birth to six children. Although she didn't eat as well as Shang Ruoting when she was pregnant, Shang Ruoting's belly was too big at four months pregnant, right?
At this time, some of the women who were staring at Shang Ruoting's belly couldn't help but express their opinions.
"Yeah, Ruoting, did you remember the date wrong? We've all been through this before, and we definitely wouldn't have such a big belly at four months."
At this moment, Tan Chen instantly felt a sense of honor. After all, others killed one person with one shot, but he killed four with one shot.
"Aunt, Ruoting is pregnant with quadruplets."
"What did you say?"
"Quadruplets?"
Now, not only was Fourth Aunt Chen upset, but even the women watching were also stunned...
They had seen people giving birth to twins, but this was the first time they heard of quadruplets.
"Tan Chen, you are not trying to make these aunts happy, are you?"
