"You're here, sister-in-law. What delicious food have you made for me today?"
Wang Tianxin and Wang Tiancheng were both very affectionate towards Li Yali, and their words were incredibly sweet.
How about stir-fried shredded potatoes with glass noodles and meat?
"That's great! I can eat three steamed buns with the dishes my sister-in-law cooks." Wang Tianxin got up and ran to the kitchen.
"Don't worry, there's food for you. How much can you eat?" Li Yali said with a smile.
Because there are now more people at the station, the kitchen is no longer big enough for everyone to sit down, so we've tacitly split into two groups.
The Wu family and Liu Yuan were on one side, while Li Guanping and Wang Tianxiao's group were on the other.
Although Wang Tianxiao never treated the Wu family brothers and Liu Yuan as outsiders, they were all self-aware enough to know that the people here were the boss's relatives, while they were, after all, outsiders working for the boss.
Just because someone's boss is a good person doesn't mean you can take advantage of them.
Originally, only Wang Tianxin usually wolfed down his food as if he had never eaten before. Today, with Wang Xiaolan joining them, the siblings devoured the dishes in no time, as if they were having a competition.
Wang Fang was so angry that her little mouth pursed up.
"Sixth Aunt, Second Aunt, you're eating too fast, I can't keep up with you."
"Oh, Fangwa isn't full?"
Wang Xiaolan held Wang Fang in her arms and asked affectionately.
"How can I possibly be full? I only have one piece while you've already eaten ten. I'm just a kid, my hands are definitely not as fast as yours. You adults, don't you know how to be considerate of me? I'm going to tell you a story."
"Hehe, what story do you want to tell?"
"Kong Rong sharing pears, that's a story my dad told me."
"Haha, stop talking. Auntie and Dada know they were wrong. Let's eat slowly and leave more for Fangwa, okay?"
"I think it's a good idea." Wang Fang nodded.
But she soon discovered that the two elders were moving so slowly it was as if they were stuck in a puddle, so she comforted them, saying, "You don't have to be so slow, you can be a little faster."
The child's innocence and charm made everyone in the room laugh uncontrollably.
After dinner, Li Yali and Wang Xiaolan went to clean up the kitchen utensils, while Wang Fang went downstairs to play.
These days, she's always surrounded by bodyguards whenever she goes out.
Three dogs, two cats, and a confident little turtle.
That's so impressive!
With that kind of fighting ability, she could rampage through the mountains, let alone the airfield.
Inside the room, Wang Tianxin looked at the dim light and suddenly thought of something. He said to Wang Tianxiao, "Brother, do you know what electricity is?"
"electricity?"
"Yes, I heard it's a magical thing that can glow."
"Why are you asking this?" Wang Tianxiao asked excitedly.
If he wasn't mistaken, the village was going to have electrical circuits installed.
"There was a village meeting a couple of days ago, and they talked about bringing electricity to every household so that every house and yard would be lit up. I don't know what that is. Some people in the village were willing, but others were against it..."
"Why would anyone object? Electricity is a good thing. In the future, every household will have electricity installed. Why would anyone object?"
"It's all because we have to pay money," Wang Tianxin explained. "The village chief said that the government is subsidizing the majority of this project, but the villagers have to contribute a share, fifty yuan per household. Everyone is short of money, and only a few families are truly wealthy, so of course they disagree."
Upon hearing this, Wang Tianxiao understood what had happened.
Getting electricity into a home is not an easy task.
Because the villagers had never been exposed to electricity before, many uneducated and inexperienced people simply couldn't understand what it was.
Even if it's free, people might not be willing to accept it, let alone if it's charged.
The problem is that delivering electricity to every household is not something that can be done out of thin air; it requires running power lines from the main transformer at the village entrance to every single household.
That process requires wires and utility poles.
These things require money and manpower to handle, and the power supply station can't afford to share the costs.
"So this matter has been delayed?"
"I don't know the specifics, but the team leader came to our house once. My mother disagreed at the time. She said she used kerosene lamps her whole life and still lived to old age. She wouldn't agree to it even if it were free, let alone pay for it."
"That's because she doesn't understand the power of electricity. Here's what we'll do: when you go back this time, tell your mother that I said the electricity in the yard still needs to be connected, and I'll pay for it."
"Oh well."
Wang Tianxin hesitated for a moment, then said, "That's true. Mother is still willing to listen to what Second Brother says."
Wang Tianxiao smiled.
He was thinking to himself, now that the village was going to get electricity, should his station also get electricity?
After returning from the new century, the biggest thing I couldn't get used to was that it was dark everywhere, and without electricity, I couldn't do many things.
He'd been thinking about this since the very first day he was reborn, and now he finally had a clue.
Another day he'll ask the power supply station how their station should be energized. He'll pay what he needs and contribute what he needs; he doesn't need those things anyway.
.
I thought my mother had become more lenient now and would be able to accept Wang Xiaolan coming home without any problems.
The next day, when Wang Tianxin came to the station, he said that his mother was very unhappy when she heard that Wang Xiaolan had not gone to see her first after returning home. She was furious and said that if Wang Xiaolan did not come back, she should never come home again.
Wang Tianxin originally wanted to tell Wang Tianxiao secretly, but Wang Xiaolan, who happened to come in to get something, overheard it.
She immediately became even angrier.
