After leaving the Public Security Bureau, the couple took a car to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town.
Thinking about the old and young people at home, it would be extremely difficult for them to come here to buy things, so Zhang Meng moved out most of the things from the supply and marketing cooperative in one go.
His generous look stunned many aunts who were queuing to buy things.
After buying things, the couple drove back home.
As soon as he arrived at the village, Zhang Meng found that the village today was different from usual. At this time of day, every household in the village stayed at home, but today, almost half of the villagers came out to chat in the large open space in the village. It was almost as lively as the New Year in the village.
After returning home, Zhang Meng asked Grandma Zhang and found out that when they were not at home today, the village loudspeaker suddenly announced a good news, that is, in another month, their village will have electricity.
"I don't know what this electricity is like, but I heard from your village uncle that it can save money on oil. As long as you install something called a light bulb at home, it can illuminate the entire room. It's brighter than the oil lamps we use now."
Grandma Zhang spoke happily. Zhang Meng also smiled and said, "That's right, I saw someone using a light bulb outside. It's really bright. When we have electricity at home, we will install a light bulb like that in every room."
When Grandma Zhang heard this, she felt distressed again. "Forget it. Just install one light bulb in the main hall and your room. Too many will waste electricity. I heard from your village chief uncle that we have to pay the electricity bill ourselves."
Zhang Meng smiled, holding Grandma Zhang's hand and said, "Grandma, our family is not short of money now, so don't always think about saving money. Your granddaughter, if I take on any task now, it will be equivalent to the annual income earned by the whole family in the village. So, your granddaughter, I am so good at making money, feel free to spend it."
Grandma Zhang's eyes narrowed with laughter. Looking around the entire village, no one could compare to her granddaughter. Over the past six months, the old sisters in the village had expressed countless envy to her.
Zhang Meng didn’t know why her grandma was smiling so happily, but she felt very happy when she saw her grandma smile.
"Grandma, now that we have electricity at home, let's buy a TV so you and your brothers can have something to entertain yourself."
"No need. We have a radio at home. I can just listen to it." Grandma Zhang refused without thinking.
"Grandma, how can this TV compare with the radio? You can see the people on TV." Zhang Meng then told her all the advantages of TV.
Her words attracted Xiao Tao and Xiao Hu who were playing nearby.
After hearing about the benefits of the TV, the two little ones excitedly grabbed Zhang Meng's hand and shouted, "Sister, buy me a TV! I want to watch TV."
"Sister Xiaomeng, can you buy me a TV? I want to watch TV too."
Zhang Meng let the two little guys shake it until they were dizzy, but she smiled happily, "Okay, we'll buy it."
"Don't buy it. Don't listen to those two little ones. They don't know how expensive it is."
"It's okay, grandma. No matter how expensive it is, it's worth it as long as my family is happy."
Seeing she couldn't persuade her granddaughter, Grandma Zhang immediately called out to Gu Mingtai, who was talking to Monk Jingchen, "Xiao Gu, please talk to Xiao Meng. She wants to spend a lot of money on that TV. Don't let her buy it."
Gu Mingtai immediately stopped talking to Monk Jingchen and looked over with a smile, "Grandma, Xiaomeng can buy whatever she wants. I'll listen to her. Besides, she has all the money in the family, so I don't have a say."
He looked at Zhang Meng with doting eyes.
Zhang Meng immediately gave him a satisfied look.
The couple immediately smiled at each other.
Monk Jingchen, who was sitting next to Gu Mingtai, suddenly sighed and looked at Grandma Zhang with a sad face.
"Disciple, can you please stop pretending to be affectionate with your wife in front of the master?" Gu Mingtai, who was smiling, looked at him in confusion when he heard his words.
Monk Jingchen snorted immediately, "Your master, even if I want to be a monk now, I can't. I've been in the secular world for too long, and my heart has become a little wild. Seeing you two being so affectionate every day, my master feels sad."
Gu Mingtai smiled and secretly glanced at Grandma Zhang, "Master, you are just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them!"
Monk Jingchen was choked and speechless. He finally snorted and waved his hand, saying, "Go away, go away, get away from me. I feel annoyed when I see you now."
Because Zhangjia Village was going to have electricity, the whole village was filled with excited laughter that day.
Soon it was time for Zhang Meng to do what she promised Wang Qingliu. That day, after breakfast, the couple packed up the tools they needed and headed to the Public Security Bureau.
In the bureau, Wang Qingliu arrived here early in the morning and his eyes have never moved away from the door since he arrived here.
When he saw the young couple coming in, his almost dry eyes immediately lit up, and he ran out to greet them regardless of the surprise of the people around him.
"Comrade Zhang, Comrade Gu, you are here." Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai simply nodded at him.
Then Zhang Meng spoke up, "Let's go now."
Wang Qingliu, smiling, was startled. Seeing the couple had already turned around, he quickly called out, "Wait a minute, where are we going? No, Comrade Zhang, you just came and said we're leaving. Where are we going to investigate this case?"
Zhang Meng raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a bit of displeasure, "Wang Qingliu, have you forgotten what you promised me? You'll obey me in everything regarding this case. Now you want to go back on your word."
