These comrades went to change their clothes, and the two comrades who were in charge of the telephone lines have returned. The telephones have been installed, but of course, they have not been connected yet.
They are experts in electrical wiring and can tell how to connect it at a glance, especially after asking whether there are electrical wires in the house. Once they are sure there are, they will feel more confident.
"Can it work?" Meng Qidi was a little worried. Although the house was equipped with wires during renovation, she was still afraid of a short circuit...
"It's OK, don't worry, sister-in-law. Among us, I'm the best electrician." The tall and thin comrade from the police station has already started working.
Meng Qidi glanced at the people around her, waved to Xiao Chengzi, and whispered a few words in her ear.
The little girl's eyes lit up, and she nodded and ran away. She ran around and ran to the bridge and shouted, "Mr. Han Fang, auntie wants to borrow some wine from you so that you can have a few drinks with the police station uncles who helped us."
Ling Hanfang was stunned. "This is a comrade from the police station."
The little girl nodded innocently.
The villagers who were watching were stunned for a moment, and then they all dispersed...
The little girl was confused, "What happened to them?"
Ling Hanfang snorted, "I'm scared."
These days, there are few people who are not afraid of their colleagues at the police station.
"Okay, there's some water and wine at home, I'll go get it."
"Hey, Mr. Hanfang, I was just kidding you. Auntie told you to come over for dinner. No one in our family drinks, so you need Mr. Hanfang to keep you company."
Ling Hanfang was stunned for a moment, then he understood what had just happened and nodded helplessly.
This girl Xiaoqi...
We had lunch around two o'clock, after the electricity was connected.
The moment the lights came on, the happiest person was undoubtedly Xiaochengzi. The girl ran upstairs to turn on the TV almost immediately.
Meng Qidi and the others were happy because they hadn’t even installed an antenna.
Televisions were actually rare at that time, and there were probably only a few in the entire town.
Of course, Ling Xiao must have gotten it through some means.
The antenna was also simple. That comrade climbed to the roof and adjusted the directions several times. He only came down when the people downstairs said there was a station.
When the comrades were leaving, Meng Qidi and Wang Jinhua gave them a lot of local specialties, including lotus root starch and kudzu starch. Unable to refuse, they had to put them in the car.
When they arrived at the county town and saw the stack of big unity notes in the car, everyone smiled bitterly. No wonder the other party never mentioned money from beginning to end. They thought the matter was over, but in the end...
The Ling family was the first family in the village to have electricity, and everyone gathered there like they were watching a circus. If they hadn't been afraid of Meng Qidi, they would have probably crowded into the yard.
"Sister Jinhua, can you share some of the electricity your family generates with our family?" someone finally couldn't help but ask.
Wang Jinhua was slightly stunned. "My Xiaoqi said that this electricity is only enough to light a lamp. Besides, we don't know how to do this. How about bringing those police station comrades back to see if they still have the generator?"
When people from Lingjia Village heard what happened to the comrades from the police station, they didn't dare to say anything. Everyone knew that Ling Xiao had a good relationship with the police station, but who dared to let them do anything?
No one pestered Wang Jinhua to ask about this anymore, but Ling Hanfang noticed it. When he had time, he would go to the town to ask what conditions were needed to have electricity in the village.
The Ling family had electricity and even an antenna. The happiest person was undoubtedly Xiao Chengzi. There were only two channels, and she sat there excitedly switching them. Several children sat in front of the TV.
In the yard downstairs, the villagers finally dispersed, and Wang Jinhua moved closer to her daughter-in-law and lowered her voice.
"Xiao Qi, is our generator safe outside?"
Meng Qidi glanced outside and said, "You should be more careful. Our generator is close to our home. It's okay if the stream is big, but few people have the courage to wade in the water in the middle of the night."
Wang Jinhua nodded, "I know. During the dry season, let Da Huang and the others pay more attention to that place."
After taking care of Xiaochengzi at home for a whole day, Meng Qidi went to Mengjia Lane the next day.
"Not at home?"
"Well, your dad is not at home. He has been busy since he came back from Beijing. I don't know what he has been busy with these days. He will be back in the evening. How about you stay at home for one night?"
Old Lady Meng asked. She was getting more and more surprised about Xiao Qi. It was as if this girl had changed into a different person after leaving the Meng family. It was not that. It was just that...
She seemed to be getting better and better after leaving the Meng family.
"It's okay, grandma, tell him that these things are for you and grandpa."
"This, this is too much, right?" Old Mrs. Meng opened her mouth in shock. There was a pile of things in front of her. She thought that this girl gave them to Daqiang. After all, Daqiang was really kind to this girl.
"Not much. I'm going to town first. I have something else to do." Meng Qidi pushed her bicycle out. Now that she was back, she would definitely go to see Jin Ming.
After coming out of Mengjia Lane, Meng Qidi went straight to the town.
When she came back yesterday, she was in a daze and didn't even look around the town. After not being back for a few months, the town has changed a lot and there are many more small shops.
I stopped in front of the biogas shop, but before I went in, it was bustling inside.
"Let me tell you, our Jin Ming is really amazing. Our family owns the largest store in the village."
At the door of the store, Meng Qidi's locked hands paused, Luo Xia?
"No way? Sister Luo, I heard that this store is a partnership, right?"
"Yes, I heard it was a daughter-in-law of your family. It seems that she provided all the funds for opening the store. You are a bit..."
"Cross the river and destroy the bridge!"
The two of them sang the same tune, and Luo Xia was a little angry and embarrassed, "Bullshit! The money she paid, our Jin Ming paid it back a few days ago. This is our store. Let's not talk about other things. Just look at these days, it's our Jin Ming who's been busy running around. Where's Meng Qidi?"
"Don't think I don't know why you say that. You're just jealous of our Jin Ming! Besides, if it weren't for us, Wang Jinhua would have been bullied to death by the villagers."
"Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law?" Ling Jinming's voice suddenly sounded, full of surprise. After a moment, he said with joy, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me that you were back?"
Meng Qidi clapped her hands and stood up, her eyes fell on Ling Jinyue's dark face. The smile was sincere. She smiled, "I didn't even tell your aunt, I just came back to install a phone for the family."
The sound of the two people talking startled the people in the room. One woman gloated a little, "Sister Luo, do you dare to say that again?"
When Luo Xia heard Meng Qidi's voice, her face turned a little bad. She disliked Meng Qidi more and more. Provoked by these two people, she sneered.
"What's there to be afraid of? My son built this store bit by bit. What did Meng Qidi do? She just threw the store to my son and wanted to sit back and reap the fruits of his labor. Ugh!"
Luo Xia spoke very loudly, as if she was afraid that people outside couldn't hear her. This shameless woman had better leave in shame, otherwise, she would scold her to death every day!
Ling Jinming's face changed slightly and he shouted, "Mom!"
