Chapter 396 How come you guys are so behind the times!



We drove left and right, and the road became increasingly remote.

They stopped at a slightly dilapidated courtyard.

There were quite a few people inside; most were washing pots and pans and cooking, while others were doing laundry.

When Xie Xiaohua entered the house, not a single person in the entire courtyard spoke to her.

Su Ruobai, who had already climbed up the tree by the yard, chuckled.

This person did a really good job, bringing peace and quiet!

No one bothered us.

At the same time, I realized that this trip was probably a waste of my time!

Given this living environment, Su Jiaqi could never live here.

However, Su Ruobai still wanted to verify it.

As a result, this person cooked the meal, ate the meal, and did exercise afterwards.

Okay, time for bed!

Su Ruobai, fine, I knew this trip would be a waste of time.

We had to walk a little further before we found the bicycle.

I rushed home.

There's bound to be some commotion at home.

Sure enough, when she got home, she found her mother-in-law waiting for her with a kerosene lamp lit.

"Su, you have to come back earlier next time. It's so late, it's not safe!"

Aunt Xiao held her granddaughter and gently rocked her back and forth, hoping to get her to sleep early!

This little devil doesn't like cradles; she just likes to sleep in someone's arms like this.

It sways gently.

However, he then thought of his daughter-in-law's skills and strength.

It seems there's nothing to worry about.

"There's some food keeping warm in the pot for you, and two flatbreads too. Go and eat!"

Her daughter-in-law is capable, so she has less to worry about.

Seeing her little granddaughter rubbing her eyes with her tiny fists, she was clearly very sleepy.

I'm still stubbornly refusing to sleep.

Aunt Xiao quickly moved on to the next step, a lullaby.

"The moon is bright, the wind is still, the leaves of the trees reflect in the window..."

Aunt Xiao's singing style may not be accurate, nor is it particularly pleasant to listen to.

However, Su Ruobai could feel the deep affection within it.

Little Baodan felt it too.

Blinking her big eyes, she finally fell asleep.

After a while, Aunt Xiao put the child on the bed.

Su Ruobai quickly handed over a cup of spiritual spring water.

This is Aunt Xiao's secret to never getting tired no matter how many babies she holds.

She looks even younger!

I have less gray hair!

Aunt Xiao gulped down the water.

Put the bowl on the kang table.

He said to Su Ruobai, "Su, the well water we draw ourselves tastes the best, it's so sweet! The other two wells in our village aren't as good, they don't taste as good as this!"

Su Ruobai: How could it not taste good? It's spiritual spring water!

The food she gave to her mother-in-law was all diluted!

If she gave it to him directly, her mother-in-law would probably change too much and find out.

Old Guo was also among those who discovered that the well water at Su Ruobai's house tasted good.

The courtyard he rented didn't have a hand pump!

Even drinking water has to be fetched by Xiao Li.

That day, he went to Su Ruobai's house to buy vegetables, and Aunt Xiao gave him a bowl of cold boiled water.

Old Guo felt completely refreshed after drinking.

He went home and drank the well water he had drawn.

No, it doesn't taste right.

Old Guo just wanted to dig a well!

Xiao Li held him down.

"Teacher, this is a rented house, the owner might not agree to it!"

The key point is that we're only staying for a few months and then leaving, and digging a well is quite expensive, so it's not worth it.

Old Guo then heard that someone disagreed.

"I'll go ask them!"

Xiao Li quickly pulled the person back: "There's no electricity here, so we can't use machinery. We can only dig by hand, which is too dangerous!"

Old Guo: "Yes, without electricity, this is not suitable!"

I'll go see your senior brother Meng tomorrow.

How is this work done? This village has such good planting resources, yet they still don't provide electricity. This is dereliction of duty.

Tell him to get the electricity fixed for me by tomorrow!

Xiao Li broke out in a cold sweat: "Are you even speaking human language, sir?"

They've even come out for dereliction of duty!

This place is so remote, not to mention anything else, just those telephone poles must cost a lot of money!

And there are electrical wires!

You're being incredibly reckless!

But he dared not say it.

So, the next day, Old Man Guo borrowed a bicycle and had Xiao Li take him to the county town.

A few days later, two large trucks arrived at Shangwan Village.

They pulled up the utility pole that had been repaired.

At this time, the telephone poles were all made of wood. One end had to be burned to treat it, otherwise it would easily revive!

Then, they started marking lines in Shangwan Village with lime.

Those who were curious all went up to inquire.

"Hey bro, where are you from? What are you doing installing utility poles around here?"

Their village, Shangwan, is poor and they don't actually have this thing, but they've seen it before!

"We're from the county town. This is a planting base, and you need electricity, so here we are!"

"What? Power on? You mean we're going to have electricity here?"

That shout was louder than a firecracker; it could be heard from two miles away.

The villagers in Shangwan Village were in an uproar when they heard this.

"Oh my god, isn't it New Year's Day? They've turned on the electricity for us!"

"Am I dreaming? Electricity's on? Why is it our turn? Shouldn't the area around the county seat be electrified first?"

"I've never heard of that. They say this area is a planting base. Oh my god, once we have electricity, we can finally buy a TV!"

"You talk as if you can afford it!"

"Haha, it's okay, we'll save up slowly! We'll be able to afford it eventually!"

Everyone was teasing each other.

But he didn't get angry!

Turn on the power!

How wonderful it is to have electricity! With a snap, the whole house can be brightly lit.

With a snap, the whole room went dark.

This is so convenient.

And you don't need to buy kerosene, so you don't have to be covered in black soot.
