After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen was about to go out into the mountains, but before he could pack up, Wu Dagang came to his door.
"Xiao Zhou, the people from the village who are pulling the power lines will come to our house today. Please keep an eye on it so that no one is home when they arrive."
"Uncle Wu, when will they come?" Zhou Ziwen asked hurriedly with a look of joy on his face.
After waiting for so many days, it was finally their turn.
"I'll come in the morning. There are still a few households in the village whose electricity lines have not been pulled. I'll come over after they're finished." Wu Dagang said.
"Okay, then I'll wait at home." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Since the electricians were coming, he was in no hurry to leave.
While the staff had not arrived yet, Zhou Ziwen took an axe and walked towards the bamboo forest outside the village with Tayun.
He planned to cut some more bamboo and arrange a lounge chair for the Chen sisters.
He enjoyed himself, but he couldn't favor one over the other and forget about the two sisters.
Of course, he also wanted to see if there were any other bamboo rats in the bamboo forest. It would be even better if Tayun found another one.
Ever since Tayun's performance has been getting better and better, Zhou Ziwen always takes it with him whenever he goes out, if for no other reason than to give Tayun more opportunities to perform.
The bamboo forest was next to the village and not far away. It took Zhou Ziwen about ten minutes to reach his destination.
"Tayun, it's your turn to show your skills." Zhou Ziwen rubbed Tayun's dog head and gave it instructions.
"Woof woof."
Tayun barked twice obediently, as if to cheer himself up, and the whole dog became full of fighting spirit.
Looking at it sniffing around in the bamboo forest, Zhou Ziwen nodded with satisfaction.
After this period of training, the dog has become more and more useful.
After Tayun started working, Zhou Ziwen was not idle either.
He found a few neat old bamboos in the bamboo forest and cut them down in a few strokes.
By the time he had tied the bamboos together, Tayun was still wandering around.
"Let's go, step on the cloud."
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen did not delay.
The reason I brought Tayun with me was to try my luck. It would be great if I could encounter a bamboo rat, but it doesn’t matter if I don’t.
Although Stepun's nose is very sensitive, he still has to find it when he sees it. If there is no one around, it will be useless no matter how hard he looks.
This place is too close to the village, and generally speaking, it is difficult to find bamboo rats.
"Woof woof."
Ta Yun stood there, looking at him pitifully, somewhat reluctant to leave.
It is a useful dog that should contribute to the family.
"Okay, I'll take you into the mountains in the afternoon. You'll have plenty of opportunities to show off your skills then." Zhou Ziwen waved to it.
“Woo woo!”
Tayun whimpered twice and ran towards Zhou Ziwen with its tail between its legs. Looking at its drooping ears and its tail tucked behind its butt, it was clear that it was a little depressed.
"Hey, you guy, you are quite strong-willed!" Zhou Ziwen bent down and rubbed its head hard twice.
With Zhou Ziwen's comfort, Tayun regained his fighting spirit.
Following behind Zhou Ziwen, he jumped left and right, very happy. There was no trace of the frustration just now.
"Is this guy pretending to be me?" Zhou Ziwen looked at the little guy circling around him with some suspicion.
When he returned home, the workers who were pulling the wires had not arrived yet. He had seen them on the way back. There were only two workers pulling the wires, and they were pulling the wires for Aunt Li's house.
Zhou Ziwen pulled the bamboo back to the yard and started making a lounge chair.
With the experience from the last production, Zhou Ziwen felt at ease when making it again.
Of course, this is also because the process of making a recliner is very simple, and even a beginner like him with only level one skill can make it.
While Zhou Ziwen was busy making a recliner, the Chen sisters next door were also busy.
Yesterday they were busy all afternoon making potato starch, and now that they have some free time, they decided to fry some potato chips.
This is because Zhou Ziwen got some tea oil, otherwise they would really be reluctant to waste it.
I have to say, the fried potato chips taste really delicious.
The Chen sisters were doing it next door, and Zhou Ziwen could smell the fragrance in the yard.
"Brother Ziwen, come and try it, these potato chips are delicious."
After a while, Chen Qiaoyi came trotting over with a bowl in her hand.
"Really? Let me try it then." Zhou Ziwen was very cooperative. He didn't let go of the tools in his hands. He just opened his mouth and waited for the girl to feed him.
Chen Qiaoyi didn't think much about it. She picked up a piece of potato and fed it to Zhou Ziwen, then looked at him expectantly.
"Well, it tastes good. It would be even better if some chili powder and pepper powder could be sprinkled on it." Zhou Ziwen praised and then said.
"Hehe, I knew it." Chen Qiaoyi showed an expression that was exactly as expected.
After spending so much time together, she had already figured out Zhou Ziwen's eating habits.
He doesn't like light food, but prefers spicy food.
The Chen sisters are from Hangzhou and have a relatively light taste, but in order to suit Zhou Ziwen's habits, they also try to eat spicy food.
After a while, they can eat anything that is not too spicy.
"Is anyone home? We're here to pull the wires."
At this moment, the workers who pulled the wires finally arrived.
"Someone, come in quickly."
Zhou Ziwen put down what he was holding and invited the staff in.
The staff who were pulling the wires didn't waste any time. They looked at the layout of Zhou Ziwen's room, then asked about the situation. After they had a general idea of what was going on, they left.
Then he walked around the yards of the Chen sisters, Chen Zhaodi, and Zhou Chaoyang, and then started pulling the electrical wires.
Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters' yards are adjacent to each other, so all they need to do is pull an electric wire over.
This way, they can work much faster.
Before noon, the electrical wires of several of their houses had been pulled into their homes.
They are all well-off, and they use as many electric lights as they have in the rooms of their house.
Some villagers, reluctant to spend money on electricity, only have one light bulb at home. When the light bulb is used, they just pull the wire to the room that needs it. Although this is a bit troublesome, it saves more electricity.
Some people had already opened a hole in the wall between the two rooms, and when pulling the wires, they lowered the electric light through the hole so that both rooms could be illuminated.
In the countryside, the virtue of thrift is ingrained in the villagers' bones.
The village provided them with electrical wiring and installed electric lights, but it was not free.
Before, they had to pay money in the village, but it was only for the outside electrical wires. It is said that in addition to the money they paid, the village also subsidized them.
The wires pulled into the house require additional payment, and the more wires you need, the more expensive it will be.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen still had a lot of money, so he could afford it.
For convenience, he also installed an electric light under the eaves outside.
Once their power lines are installed, the village will be able to officially have electricity. (End of this chapter)
