Several young people were busy in the afternoon...
Mu Zhengnan and Shen Nianbai were not idle either.
The two of them went to the commune and asked people from the power company to come and help pull the wires, hoping that electricity would be connected to the new house this afternoon.
Because Yanshan Brigade was very close to the commune, it had electricity two years ago.
Every household only needs to pay two dollars to have electricity brought to their home.
In addition, they will give you a 10-watt light bulb to help you install it.
By spending only two dollars, you can light up the house, making lighting a much easier problem when you get up at night.
But two dollars is not too much, but not too little either!
There are still more than half of the families in the village who would rather continue to use kerosene lamps or pine oil lamps than spend two dollars to run electrical wires in their homes.
Their Yanshan Brigade is rich in pine resources.
Therefore, many villagers would go to the mountains to collect pine oil themselves and use it as fuel for lighting.
But... when rosin burns, it produces a unique smell and a lot of black smoke.
Therefore...some families choose to spend some money and use kerosene lamps.
Kerosene lamps provide better lighting than pine oil lamps and are cheaper.
Kerosene that costs a few cents per pound can power the kerosene lamp at home for a long time.
Relative to the electricity price at that time.
The little money spent on kerosene seems insignificant compared to the electricity bill incurred every month.
The electricity price is relatively high at this time.
Not only does it cost money to pull the wires in the early stages, but the monthly electricity bills are also a considerable expense for ordinary families.
Therefore, after much consideration, most of the families in the village did not install electrical wires in their homes.
Even some homes that had electric wires started to light kerosene lamps again after paying their electricity bills for a few months.
At this time, electricity in rural areas is basically only used for lighting at night.
Yanshan Village currently does not have electrical appliances such as televisions, refrigerators and radios.
Therefore, if it is only used for night lighting, it is more economical and affordable for the villagers to use kerosene lamps.
One month's electricity bill can last for several months if you use a kerosene lamp.
........
A middle-aged man from the power bureau was invited to help pull the wires with Mu Zhengnan and the others...
In less than an hour, all the lights in several rooms, the kitchen and the bathroom were installed.
A light bulb of more than ten watts is also bright when it is turned on at night.
The soft yellow light is a very warm tone, giving people a cozy feeling of home.
Sheng Zhiyi tried the lights in every room.
After trying it out, he went to his partner and whispered,
"Xixi, it's a little too late today. After the New Year, I'll go to Nan City and buy a TV as my dowry. Then you can watch TV at home."
Sheng Zhiyi looked at his partner with a smile, his beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed very excited.
Mu Yunxi: "..."
He's been talking about preparing a dowry for himself all the time these past few days... Doesn't he feel the slightest bit embarrassed?
But looking at his frank smile, he even looked a little impatient...
Mu Yunxi naturally wouldn't spoil his fun!
Although she has no interest in watching TV or anything like that.
After all, the televisions at that time not only had very small screens, but also could only receive a few channels.
The TV is in black and white and the picture quality is not clear!
The point is... in this day and age, if they buy a TV at home...
I guess my home will become a movie theater in the future...
When I think of that scene...
Mu Yunxi suddenly felt a chill on her back!
Her eyes moved, and a gentle fake smile appeared on her face.
: "Okay! Although I don't like watching TV, if you like it, let's buy one, and our home will be lively in the future."
"I think everyone in our team really likes watching TV. With a TV, our house won't be lonely at night."
Sheng Zhiyi: “….”
I was careless...!
I almost forgot about this one...
When I think about having a TV at home, there will be endless streams of villagers and educated youth coming to watch TV every day...
Sheng Zhiyi instantly felt that this TV was no longer attractive!
With so many people coming to disturb him every day, how much time can he and his partner have alone?
How can we cultivate a good relationship...?
Sheng Zhiyi shook his head, dispelling the image in his mind, and looked at his partner and said awkwardly,
"Then let's not buy this TV for now! I don't like watching TV either."
Mu Yunxi smiled and nodded, "Okay! I'll do as you say."
