The next day, as expected, early in the morning, the village party secretary took people to the town to pick up the electrician. The villagers and educated youth were very happy. After all, most of the villages in the surrounding area had electricity. It was only their village in the mountains that had difficulty getting electricity. In the eyes of city people, this village was just a mountain valley. Now that electricity was available, it was good, better than having no electricity at all.
There are also some villagers whose sons have some skills and work in factories outside, so it is not the case that they can buy TVs. Not the whole village is poor.
It’s just because of the inconvenient transportation, it’s difficult to receive information in the mountains. The villagers have to go to the town to pick it up or have the postman come to their door at the specified time. There are always some people in the village who have savings.
Every family has its own situation. Because it is in the mountains, outsiders think it is a poor mountain village. However, this statement is not wrong. After all, some people are really poor. There are very few people who have savings at home, but at least no one will starve to death.
Otherwise, how could "Gu Ranzhou" save so much money?
Gu Ren brought an electrician to pull the wires early in the morning.
Gu Ren saw Gu Jianqiang and introduced him, "Jianqiang, these are the two electricians the town sent to our village to install the electrical wires."
Gu Jianqiang extended his hand to shake their hands: "Hello, hello, comrades."
Gu Rendao: "Two electricians, this one is also Village Chief Gu."
"Hello!" Two men in work clothes were carrying boxes filled with their work equipment.
"Village Chief Gu, we should be working. Could we ask the young men in the village to help with the wiring?"
Gu Jianqiang nodded and said, "It's only right. Ever since I received the news from the organization, our village has already started making preparations. Now all that's left is your work. If you need anything, just let me know."
The two electricians were very satisfied with what Gu Jianqiang said. This way, their workload would be much less.
It took the electrician a lot of time to pull the wires from house to house. In addition, there were not many people in the village, except for a few houses at the foot of the mountain, so pulling the wires was not very difficult.
When pulling the wires, the two electricians just had to connect them and then direct the young men in the village to pull the lines for them.
"Thank you for your hard work, comrades." Gu Jianqiang was happy to see the two electricians pull up the wires, thinking that the village finally had electricity.
The two electricians wiped the sweat from their faces and drank a sip of water: "Village Chief Gu, it's not hard. There aren't many households in your village, so it won't be that difficult to pull the wires."
Gu Jianqiang wanted to invite them back to his home for a meal: "Comrades, why don't you come to my house for a simple meal before leaving?"
The two electricians declined politely, "No, no, we have to go to the next village, so we'll leave first. Could you please sign for Village Chief Gu?"
Seeing that the other party was going to work, Gu Jianqiang didn't want to stop him: "As I should, as I should."
Gu Jianqiang and Gu Ren were very happy. Before, because the village was too far away from the town and was in the mountains, all their application reports were rejected by the town. Finally, when most of the surrounding villages were completed, they reported to the town several times before they agreed. Now the village has electricity and a radio installed, which is really great.
On the other hand, Gu Ranzhou was tormented by Lu Zhenchuan all night last night.
Gu Ranzhou liked to sleep in, and now he felt it was natural to get up a little late in the morning. Fortunately, Lu Zhenchuan knew how to read people's expressions and what he did last night. He got up early in the morning to finish all the work and took care of the children while Gu Ranzhou was still asleep.
After Gu Ranzhou got up and washed, Lu Zhenchuan worked by his side the whole time. By the time Gu Ranzhou finished his meal, the electricians had already installed the circuits in the village.
Gu Ranzhou went over to look at the gate of his house and then raised his hand to pull down the power switch, while Lu Zhenchuan watched from the side.
"Wife, haven't you always been looking forward to the village getting electricity soon? Why do you turn off the power at home now?" Lu Zhenchuan asked. He didn't think his wife wanted to save on electricity. After all, his wife said she would buy a bicycle and she didn't hesitate at all. It was impossible for her to turn off the power just to save on the so-called electricity bill.
Gu Ranzhou rubbed his waist. "Do you really think I'm counting on this little bit of electricity? It's turned on and off regularly throughout the day. The electricity in the village can't be on 24 hours a day. How can I count on this? The electricity in town is just a cover-up. Wait, I'll give you a few panels. You climb up to the roof and install them facing the sun. I'll connect the circuit in the house. Do you understand?"
Gu Ranzhou took out the solar panels and told Lu Zhenchuan how to install them.
Lu Zhenchuan looked at the solar panels on the ground, nodded, picked them up, and climbed onto the roof. Before he climbed, he said, "Okay, wife, I'll install it now."
Gu Ranzhou explained it in great detail, and Lu Zhenchuan understood it immediately. Gu Yu'an had gone out to play with his friends. Before he left, Lu Zhenchuan specifically told him not to run too far and to remember to go home.
Lu Zhenchuan installed solar panels on the roof, and Gu Ranzhou was not idle downstairs either. He took out electrical wires from the space and prepared to run them throughout the house. The power lines in the town could only use a very low amount of electricity and could not withstand high-voltage electrical appliances, so he planned to use the solar panels and the town's power lines separately. The solar panels would be used 24 hours a day, and the electricity from the town could be used to cover up his tracks.
Gu Ranzhou looked at the sun outside and it was really scorching.
Gu Ranzhou spent a long time on it, and it took quite a while to pull the wires. Fortunately, there were only a few rooms in the house, and he asked Lu Zhenchuan to install several solar panels. The sun is so strong now, so it is very good at storing electricity. The solar panels he bought are all the best brands. Not only can they store a lot of energy, but they also have a long lifespan.
Lu Zhenchuan had already installed the solar panels and came down from the roof with the tools. Gu Ranzhou was almost done but was still putting on the finishing touches. Lu Zhenchuan was feeling very hot under the sun, so he put the tools on the table and went to the kitchen to pour a large glass of water. He drank it to cool down, but it didn't feel enough, so he went to the faucet to get a bucket of water and poured it directly on his body to feel cooler.
Gu Ranzhou spent a while finishing up, hiding the wires and installing the light bulbs and sockets. After everything was done, Lu Zhenchuan handed him a bowl of water. Gu Ranzhou took it and drank it all in one gulp. Lu Zhenchuan put the bowl aside.
"Is my wife done?"
"Well, just go and install a gate, just in case." Gu Ranzhou walked to the power socket and installed the last step. After connecting the power, the bulb lit up. Gu Ranzhou and Lu Zhenchuan knew that they could call it a day. Lu Zhenchuan asked Gu Ranzhou to sit on the stool while he went to collect the tools.
Gu Ranzhou nodded and said that connecting the wires was indeed difficult.
Gu Ranzhou watched Lu Zhenchuan packing up his tools. Lu Zhenchuan's clothes were a little wet, but because of the heat, they became half wet and half dry, sticking to Lu Zhenchuan and revealing his figure. Gu Ranzhou's eyes were full of meaning and he recalled last night.
Lu Zhenchuan quickly packed up his tools, checked the switches of the light bulbs one by one, and then turned them off. After all, leaving the light bulbs on in broad daylight was not a good idea.
Gu Ranzhou was sitting aside, rubbing his waist with his hands. Seeing this, Lu Zhenchuan went over, hugged him in his arms, put his big hands on Gu Ranzhou's waist and rubbed him.
Seeing that someone was serving him, Gu Ranzhou was too lazy to move. He lay in Lu Zhenchuan's arms and found a comfortable position, closing his eyes to meditate.
