...
The days passed, and November came in a blink of an eye.
During this period, a major event occurred in Tang County and the entire city was electrified.
You have to know that in the past only factories and units had electricity, and all individual households had no electricity, even the Liu family.
After the electricity is connected, residents can also enjoy the convenience of electricity at home.
For example, Li Jia, Li Ju and others study at night. Even if they put up a few more kerosene lamps, it is still very hurtful to the eyes to read the words.
It makes people worry whether they will have to wear glasses at such a young age.
Now we have brighter lights, which still hurt our eyes, but are much better.
Li Xu and others were also much less worried.
Of course, most people cannot afford this convenience.
Because electricity is too expensive.
One kilowatt-hour of electricity costs 1.65 cents.
And light bulbs are very expensive, you have to buy them with tickets.
There really is a light bulb ticket
Therefore, many residents are reluctant to use electricity and still use kerosene lamps for lighting as before.
That night.
After the Li family finished their meal, while Xiong Xue's family wasn't around, Sun Xiu lectured her grandchildren. She feigned anger and said, "You little brats, if anyone dares to mess with the light cord again, I'll give him a spanking. No one's pleading will help. Do you hear me?"
Today's light switches are all pull-cord type.
The rope is connected to the control valve of the switch, and pulling the rope controls the power supply.
Pull rope switch
The children found it very interesting to see that the light would light up when they pulled the rope, and would go out when they pulled it again. They would play with it when they had nothing to do.
With this type of switch, the lamp cord is easily broken after repeated pulling.
This is not important. If the rope breaks, you can find another rope to connect it yourself.
The important thing is that switching it back and forth can easily break the light bulb.
In particular, in order to meet the needs of study, three light bulbs were turned on in the main hall of the Li family.
Although the Li family has enough money to change the light bulb, they can't waste money like this.
So Sun Xiu decided to teach these naughty kids a lesson today and tell them not to do this again in the future.
Li Wenbai was not involved in this matter. His eldest brother was not there, and the remaining boys were a little scared when facing their angry grandmother. They lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Li Ping's daughter, Li Ruike, was not afraid at all. She came over and took Sun Xiu's hand, saying with a smile, "Grandma, we know we were wrong and we won't do it again. Please forgive us this time."
When Li Xu's daughter Li Leyun saw her sister doing this, she also came over.
But she didn't pull Sun Xiu's hand, but hugged her legs and echoed, "Grandma, we won't dare to do it again."
Sun Xiu bent down and pinched a little face with one hand, "You two little things, I don't think you have any intention of admitting your mistakes."
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing.
