Chapter 252 Wangou Village 2
My father-in-law Zhang Fusheng did not stay in the area for too long and returned to the village that day.
Not wanting to lag behind, Zhangjia Village also planted electric poles towards the commune, and the villagers also started to build a projection room.
"How is Lao Zhang? Will your son-in-law sell us a TV?"
Seeing Zhang Fusheng coming back, the villagers gathered around him. If Zhao Yi didn't sell the TV to them, all their work would be in vain.
"What are you talking about? He still refused even though I came in person."
Zhang Fusheng looked so proud that the villagers envied him for having a good son-in-law.
"That's right. Uncle Zhang is Zhao Yi's father-in-law. How could he not have this little face? Let's all work harder and clean up the screening room."
The commune leaders didn't know what was going on between Zhangjia Village and Wangou Village, and both villages wanted to lay electric wires.
However, since there is no need for the commune leaders to send support, this matter is simple. Just notify the county power supply bureau and ask them to send people to pull the wires.
Zhang Fusheng returned home with the gift given by Zhang Jing.
Now there are only two old people in the Zhang family at home. The eldest son and his family have settled in the county town. Zhang Xiang and Chen Fen work in the region and have no time to come back, and all their grandchildren are studying in the county town.
Even if they were asked to live in the county town, they would not be able to stay for more than a few days and would be busy coming back to take care of the livestock.
"Why are you sending these things again? These cans are so valuable."
Wang Kaihui said while looking at the can in Zhang Fusheng's hand.
"I told them I didn't want it, but Xiao Jing said that these were given to her by others and asked us to just take them back and eat them. We are so old, why do we need these things? When I passed by the county town, I went to the old people's house, but they said they didn't want anything and asked me to bring them back for you to eat."
Zhang Fusheng said helplessly.
"Okay, let's try what it tastes like."
Wang Kaihui laughed.
Now all the children in the family have their own businesses, especially the second oldest couple, who earn 100 yuan a month. They no longer need to worry about their children, and the dividends from their pig-raising side business in the village are more than they can spend.
The children don't need them to give money. They only give red envelopes to their grandchildren when they come back during the holidays. They are reluctant to spend money on other days.
"Boss, why do you think the village needs a screening room? Televisions there are not cheap."
Wang Kaihui knew that a TV set was not cheap. Even his boss Zhang Jun's family couldn't afford one. Firstly, they needed tickets, and secondly, a TV set cost several hundred yuan.
"The little kids in the village run to the commune all day long. It's not safe if they don't go to the commune street at night. Now that they heard Wangou Village is going to buy a TV, they are also planning to buy one so that the children won't run around."
Zhang Fusheng explained.
"It would be strange if he didn't run around. Look at your grandson's house. Doesn't he run around all day long?"
Wang Kaihui laughed.
"I mean I won't run around at night, but I will definitely run around during the day."
Zhang Fusheng smiled.
There are many entertainment activities in the village, such as going into the mountains to pick wild vegetables and fruits. A few little kids get together to go into the mountains to roast potatoes and rob bird nests. These are children's nature. How could they not go away just because there is a TV in the village?
The workers from the power bureau had just installed the electrical wires and installed the light socket in the projection room, and then the villagers selected a few people to go to the district to buy a TV.
Needless to say, Zhang Fusheng is definitely among those in Zhangjia Village. After all, Zhang Fusheng is most familiar with the local roads. If Zhang Fusheng hadn't gone, they might have been lost.
The people from Wangou Village selected Zhao Laowu, Liu Qi, Fan Chun and his group.
People from the two villages met at the commune.
"I never dared to dream that the village could buy a TV before, but I never thought it would be possible now."
Zhang Fusheng said with a smile.
"At that time, we couldn't even get enough food to eat. When we could eat a piece of meat at the end of the year, we would have sweet dreams."
Fan Chun took over the conversation.
These people have all experienced difficult times. The people in Wangou Village are not starving, but they are facing the same difficulties.
"What's wrong with Zhao Yi's brain? How could he think of raising chickens to make money?"
Fan Chun looked at Zhang Fusheng and asked.
"He is my son-in-law, not my son. How should I know? But he is really smart. In the past, we could only raise pigs to a certain size after a whole year, but when he raised them, they were plump and round."
Zhang Fusheng smiled.
The chicken farm made money, and everyone learned Zhao Yi's pig-raising model. Now pig-raising has become the family's biggest source of income. Not only can they make money, but they also have enough oil and water throughout the year, and now they consume less food.
Among all the villages around here, the young men from Wangou Village and Zhangjia Village are the easiest to marry. Which family doesn't want their daughter to have a good life after getting married?
These two villages are famous for their wealth in the surrounding area. They can make a new set of clothes every year, and they always bring two kilograms of fat meat when visiting relatives, which makes everyone envious.
When I walked to the door of Zhao Yan's tailor shop, I saw my little one reading a picture book inside.
"Boy, come home early tonight. We'll go to the city to buy a TV so you can watch it when you get home early."
Seeing his son Fan Chun shouted happily.
"knew."
The little one inside responded.
The group soon arrived at the area and came to the door of Zhao Yi's shop.
The few of them then found a pair of scissors and took out the money sewn into their clothes. They were afraid of losing so much money with them. How could they explain it to the villagers? No one would believe that they lost it accidentally or hid it on purpose. This was not just a few dollars, but hundreds of dollars.
So everyone asked his wife to sew the money into his clothes so that they would not have to worry about losing it.
When Zhao Yi saw that everyone had torn their clothes and took out the money, he understood what was going on. Clothes can be mended if they are torn, but if the money is lost in the village, one will become a sinner.
"Brother Yi, please order some. We will buy three for our village."
Zhao Laowu handed the money to Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi, and only moved the TV after the two had counted it.
Without the hundred-yuan bill, it is difficult to count money now.
"How much money did the village earn to buy three TV sets at once?"
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"It's not like they're buying them individually, each household just needs to pay a few bucks."
Zhao Yi smiled.
It is estimated that most families in Wangou Village can afford to buy a TV set individually, but they are reluctant to spend so much money. When they heard about buying it collectively, they all applauded.
During this period, everyone worked in groups and became accustomed to this lifestyle.
When the TV arrived in the village, it was warmly received by the whole village.
Zhao Laowu and Liu Qi knew what to do, so they hurried into the projection room with the TV and started tinkering with it. With the cooperation of the two, a little man soon appeared in the TV.
It wasn't long before the three TVs were set up.
"From today on, we will watch TV every night after work and dinner. The elderly will sit in the front row, the young people with good eyesight will sit in the back row, and the little ones will sit in the middle."
Li Dequan looked at everyone and said.
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into warm applause. This arrangement was the most reasonable.
