There was good news from the town, saying that electric wires would be pulled into the village and every household would be able to have electric lights installed!
This news was quite true, because Zhou Shengnan worked as an electrician in the town. Within a few days, he saw tractors rumbling in and carrying long and thick concrete pillars and long and thin electric wires.
Everyone in the village is looking forward to the electricity and electric lights. Currently, everyone uses kerosene lamps, which are dim and need to be refueled. However, places like the hospital in the town have already had electricity and electric lights earlier.
In everyone's mind, this light is like a magic lamp. It does not need to be refueled and can be turned on all the time. One light can illuminate an entire room.
Besides, in a famous embroidery town like Tahe Town, the embroiderers embroider under kerosene lamps every night, which is very harmful to their eyes. It would be great if they could install electric lights in the future!
The villagers said that having electricity would benefit everyone, and all the young men and women who had nothing to do at home had to come out and help the construction team.
Even if the villagers didn't say anything, Zhou Lanhua was eager to try it. Xiao Niangyu always liked to join in the fun, especially when everyone worked together, it was so exciting!
Every morning after breakfast, Zhou Lanhua would go out with a shovel, and she would always run into Shisan as soon as she arrived at the door.
"Didn't I tell you to go later yesterday? Why are you here so early today? You'll have to take care of your mom and work for the whole family. Who will play with me when you're exhausted?"
Thirteen was grinning foolishly. The tall guy was carrying a shovel, which looked like a child's toy.
"Boss, I'm not tired. Don't worry, I have the strength. I'll play with you every day."
"Play, play, play." Zhou Lanhua raised her hand, and Shisan naturally lowered his head. "Pa", a loud chestnut hit him, and he laughed.
"Why do you only know how to play? How old are you? Why don't you get ready and find a wife to live with?"
The two of them walked, laughing and joking. Zhou Lanhua had a loud voice, neither too high nor too low, somewhere between a mermaid and a young man. Her short, broken hair rose and fell with the movement of her little head.
The morning sun shines on Thirteen's face. Perhaps his dark face is covered with the golden color of the morning light, or it is a blush hidden underneath.
"I'm stupid. No one wants me to be the mistress of the house. I won't get married. I'll just keep playing with you."
Zhou Lanhua laughed heartily and said, "With your family's financial situation, all the young ladies would rush to marry you! Besides, if you don't get married, I will. I won't play with you every day. I'm going to join the army first and then get married."
I really can't believe that Zhou Lanhua, this big and strong girl, also has the idea of getting married.
Every time Thirteen heard the eldest brother say that he was going to join the army, he would feel a little worse, but this heartless child would forget about it after a while.
Shisan was very strong, so he was assigned to help move the electric poles, while Zhou Lanhua helped dig the hole and bury the things.
She clamped the shovel under her armpits, opened her two palms and spat into them, rubbed her palms together a few times, held the shovel handle firmly, thrust it diagonally into the ground, stepped on it with one foot, and a large piece of mud was shoveled up.
"Zhou Shengnan's daughter is really like a boy!" The members of the engineering team who worked together couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Lanhua chuckled, not stopping her work, and said, "Uncle, don't underestimate my little girl. Look at my strength, isn't it?"
The other party smiled heartily and nodded. With his hair, skin, and gestures, he looked just like a young man!
"Your fish is quite big now, little lady. Why doesn't your family find you a husband? Instead, they let you go out and bask in it like a man?"
Zhou Lanhua was not embarrassed. She didn't know how many people had asked this question before. It was no big deal.
After digging a pit, several people took a break. She put the shovel aside and sat down with several big men.
"What kind of marriage is this? I can't do housework, and I don't want to have children. Who would want to marry me?"
"Hahahaha! You little mermaid, you have such a funny mouth!" A group of people laughed.
Shisan and his partner were carrying a telephone pole towards this side. They were listening to Zhou Lanhua and everyone chatting lively. When he was distracted, the telephone pole tilted and rolled onto his feet.
"Ouch! Oh no!"
When everyone saw this, they all rushed over and moved one end of the pole away from his feet.
"How can you be distracted while working? Look at this, don't hurt your feet!"
"Hey, take a look at your slippers!"
"Is this kid crazy from the pain? Why doesn't he react at all?"
Everyone was talking and arguing at the same time. Zhou Lanhua pushed them apart, squatted down, and slapped Shisan twice in the face.
"Hey, Thirteen! Thirteen!"
Everyone around was stunned by Zhou Lanhua's ferocity!
Thirteen came to his senses when he saw Zhou Lanhua. He remained calm and smiled at her.
Zhou Lanhua was so angry at his stupid look that she hit him on the head with a chestnut again.
"What's wrong with you, silly boy? Do you know that your toe was crushed?"
Thirteen blinked and said, "Boss, I'm fine, really, it doesn't hurt at all."
Zhou Lanhua treated him like a white girl. She pulled his feet over and took off his shoes and socks. A smell of pickled cabbage immediately filled the air.
She endured the stench and took a closer look. The two middle toes were a little purple, but the rest were not a big deal.
"Boss, it's really okay." Thirteen hurriedly grabbed the shoes and socks and put them on, fearing that she would be suffocated by the smoke.
“I can still keep moving!”
"What are you moving? Go back home."
Shisan didn't say anything, holding the corner of his clothes with both hands and refused to move. Zhou Lanhua kicked him, but he still didn't move.
"Young man, you are injured, go back quickly."
"That's right, our engineering team won't run away. If your foot is fine, come back tomorrow!"
"Oh, this is a stubborn donkey!"
Zhou Lanhua squatted down again in anger, pinched Shisan's ear with one hand, and made him look into her eyes.
"Thirteen, if you don't go back now, I won't play with you for the next few months!"
Thirteen was now anxious, and immediately stood up and said, "Boss, I'm going back!"
