Since electricity was connected, Guo Lao's status in Shangwan Village has risen accordingly.
Those with inside information know that it was this old man who made a phone call to his student that enabled the power to be connected.
I heard it was this old man who wanted to dig a well in his own yard.
That courtyard was still rented.
Sure enough, a well-drilling team arrived the day after the power was connected.
After setting up the machine and drilling for a while, water came out!
"Wow, this is so fast! If we were to dig it ourselves, how long would it take?"
"The machine is definitely fast, and besides, it cost a lot of money!"
"How much does it cost? If it's a small amount, we'll still use it. It'll be so convenient; we won't have to go out to fetch water anymore."
Summer is alright, but in winter, it's so cold and freezing that I don't want to go out at all!
"I heard it costs over a hundred, but I don't know the exact amount!" The key is that even that number isn't confirmed.
I'm afraid it's all just hearsay.
"Oh dear, there are so many! Forget it, I'm pretty resistant to the cold!"
In Guo Lao's courtyard, a crowd gathered to watch the spectacle!
Old Guo didn't chase them away.
It's great to have lots of people! It's so lively!
As people get older, they become like that, enjoying lively gatherings.
Xiao Li was carrying a fruit plate and scattering melon seeds everywhere.
That's just how his teacher is; he loves excitement.
Fortunately, he can also make money; otherwise, given his tendency to squander money...
Where to eat next is a problem.
With electricity, Shangwan Village is now bright and clean.
The surrounding villages were jealous.
They all went to Secretary Xiao to request that the electricity be restored.
They've started building greenhouses for growing vegetables and are about to begin growing mushrooms.
Why does Shangwan Village have it, but they don't?
They weren't raised by a stepmother!
Secretary Xiao is also having a headache!
They go to the county even when they have nothing to do!
He went to see County Chief Meng, but County Chief Meng was annoyed with him and simply avoided him.
I spent another afternoon sitting idly in the office.
Secretary Xiao returned empty-handed.
County Chief Meng was at a loss.
There's a shortage of electrical wires right now; where is he going to find so many?
Besides, even if there were that many power lines, they couldn't all be given to the Red Flag Commune!
The problem isn't scarcity, but inequality. Anyone in charge knows this principle!
After getting off work, County Chief Meng did not go home, but instead went to his rented courtyard.
As soon as I entered, I saw a table full of food.
The wonderful aroma of food wafts over, instantly washing away the fatigue of a long day at work.
"Brother Meng, you're back! Come quick, I've prepared a bath for you over there, and there's a towel on it. Wash your hands and eat!"
A woman sat up in bed.
Put down the book you are reading.
She greeted County Chief Meng with a generous, warm, and gentle manner.
County Chief Meng nodded in agreement: "Alright, I just passed by the state-run restaurant and bought a plate of sweet and sour pork. You should try it later!"
I washed my hands; the temperature was just right. I guess it was hot water poured in at first, and then it cooled down gradually.
County Chief Meng picked up a towel from the sink stand and carefully wiped his hands.
But an uncontrollable smile played on his lips.
This girl is considerate, gentle, and poised.
The key is that she also cares about herself and is a great cook.
That's right, I just can't accept myself.
He didn't mind those things.
He got divorced too!
He sighed silently to himself.
After placing the towels down, County Chief Meng sat down at the table.
The woman had already set out the bowls and chopsticks.
The meals were simple.
Each person was given a bowl of rice soup. One of them picked up a bowl and handed it to County Chief Meng: "Brother Meng, have some rice soup. It's good for replenishing body fluids and your health. You've been working all day and you must be exhausted. Drink more."
Don't drink water all the time; once it enters your body, it's just turned into water and excreted!
County Chief Meng took the bowl, his smile becoming even more pronounced.
Even if they don't accept me, they still care about me. They even said they only see me as a brother!
Nobody would believe that.
The woman handed the chopsticks to County Magistrate Meng again: "Brother Meng, try my cooking. It's nothing fancy, just something simple I made, please don't mind!"
County Chief Meng took the chopsticks and began to eat.
The staple food was a pancake made from a mixture of cornmeal and wheat flour.
The woman thoughtfully dropped the object from the middle.
County Chief Meng added some hot and sour shredded potatoes and chili sauce, took a bite, and his mouth was full of fragrance.
Seeing that County Chief Meng ate with satisfaction, the woman also smiled contentedly.
She seemed to think that the man's enjoyment of the food was the best reward for her.
The women started eating too.
The first thing we ate was sweet and sour pork.
Because it was brought back in a package, it's already a bit soft.
It's alright, though.
The first taste is sour, which is appetizing, followed by a crunchy texture, but not the crunchy texture of a candy.
It's crispy after being deep-fried.
tasty.
The woman had a smile on her face.
She stole a glance at the man.
The man pretended not to see and continued eating.
But as the woman lowered her head shyly and chuckled, he quickly glanced at her delicate and pretty face.
The meal ended in such a perfect atmosphere.
The man didn't really want to go home, but it was already late outside.
It will be dark soon.
He hesitated at the door for a long time.
The man seemed to be waiting for the woman to ask him to stay, and the woman seemed to be waiting for the man to make the invitation.
Finally, County Chief Meng spoke up: "Qiqi, let's go see a movie tonight!"
Mustering his courage, County Chief Meng finally spoke the words he had prepared all day.
In modern terms, this translates to: "Kiki, will you be with me?"
The woman was initially surprised, and large tears rolled down her cheeks.
