Chapter 76 Tap Water is Now Available
Zeng Huihuang said, "I'll write a letter when I get back and ask my dad to send me the textbooks."
Chen Meili said, "Then I won't write it; I'll borrow yours."
Zeng Huihuang said, "Okay, let's study together and try to get into the same university."
The two were so engrossed in their conversation that they unknowingly held hands.
Lin Shanshan had an expression that said, "You're in a relationship?"
Chen Meili's almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile, revealing a pair of small dimples. She looked incredibly cute and cheerfully said, "Yes, Zeng Huihuang and I are dating."
Zeng Huihuangwen smiled happily: "When we both get into university, we'll get married."
Chen Meili is two years older than Lin Shanshan. She is 20 years old this year and will be 22 in two more years. In the countryside, this is considered late to get married, but in the city, it is just the right age.
Chen Meili smiled and said, "Okay, let's work together."
As they were talking, they went back to the educated youth settlement with Zeng Huihuang to write a letter. This year's college entrance examination was more difficult than any other. So many people participated, but the number of admissions was not large. It was truly like crossing a single-plank bridge.
After the two left, Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan also went home.
......
The water meter installer arrived early the next morning. The water pipes would be installed today. Each household pays for the water meter installation themselves. Gu Yiye's daughter, Bai Xue, had already paid for it and deposited 100 yuan for the water bill.
By today's standards from the 1970s, this 100 yuan could probably last until the price increase in 1980.
Other families who want to use it will definitely have to pay for it themselves. Zhu Shengli, Liu Jianshe, Li Meixiang, and Accountant Qian's families have all installed it, so the brigade cadres must take the lead.
Besides these, there were a few other families who were relatively well-off and settled in as well.
However, the water company staff didn't care, since Bai Xue had already paid enough money.
After the tap water was installed, another group of workers came to install electrical appliances. They arrived quite late, around 10 a.m., so Gu Yiye invited them to stay for lunch.
They took out more than ten pounds of wild boar meat from the space and stewed it. The chefs ate with gusto, their mouths greasy, and kept praising, "Comrade Gu is so kind. Today is the first time we've eaten at our host's house, and there's such a big pot of meat."
Gu Yiye said, "Then don't be shy, eat more!"
The workers were well-fed and worked with even more energy. After installing all the appliances, they even thoughtfully packed up the trash and took it back with them.
After dinner, Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan went for a walk as usual. Gu Yiye was unusually talkative today and dragged Lin Shanshan around for a long time.
When they returned, Gu Xiang and Gu Ai'ai were both fast asleep.
Gu Yiye, holding a bath towel and shower gel (these items belonged to Yang Wenqing's spatial storage and had to be put away after each use), said to Lin Shanshan, "Wife, I don't know how to use the water heater yet. Can you teach me?"
Lin Shanshan really thought he didn't know how, so she went into the bathroom and earnestly taught him how to turn it on and how to adjust the water temperature.
Lin Shanshan had her back to Gu Yiye. When she saw that he hadn't said anything for a long time, she turned around in surprise and saw Gu Yiye looking at her with the eyes of a wolf looking at a rabbit.
A meaningful look in his eyes conveyed a message to Lin Shanshan: Tonight, Gu Yiye has gone mad again!
Goodness, how did this man know his period was over?!
Gu Yiye laughed and said, "I served as a reconnaissance soldier in the army for a period of time!"
Next, Gu Yiye adjusted the water temperature, turned on the shower, and water sprayed onto the two of them.
Since things had come to this point, Lin Shanshan had no choice but to cooperate.
