Chapter 17 The Village Needs Electricity (2/2)



Later, Li Cuizhi found a job as a nanny in the county town through an introduction, and was able to escape from this dangerous place.

.

With the end of the farce, the results of the county's autumn harvest evaluation were officially released.

Needless to say, in the last autumn harvest, Qinghe Village was far ahead of other production teams in terms of both output and quality, and won the first place.

On the day when the good news came from the county, Xiao Jiahua also received a reply from Qi Keyan.

When Xiao Jiahua went to the compound to receive the letter, Zhao Fuda was holding a meeting with a group of village representatives.

Village chief Zhao announced excitedly: "Fellow villagers, comrades, in order to commend our hard work, the county has decided to build a small substation for our Qinghe Brigade before the end of the year to develop electric irrigation and drainage!"

"From now on, the thousands of acres of land on the brigade farm will be scientifically irrigated and drained, and will no longer be affected by drought or floods!"

Every household in Qinghe Village still uses kerosene lamps for lighting and does not quite understand what a substation is.

But when they heard that electric irrigation and drainage would eliminate the need for drought or flood and that there would no longer be famine, everyone cheered.

Xiao Jiahua also applauded, saying that this was the first step in the development of agricultural electrification.

In time, it will definitely not be a problem for the village to have electricity and telephones.

After the meeting, Zhao Fuda took out the package sent by Qi Keyan and handed it to Xiao Jiahua.

Xiao Jiahua weighed it and felt it was very heavy, so it must be more than just the allowance.

Didn’t we agree not to let this guy send anything?

Zhao Fuda casually chatted: "Xiaoxiao, you are a top student in Qinghe Village. You have to participate more when the substation is built."

As a Level 10 scholar of Quotations from Confucius, Zhao Fuda also believed that "women hold up half the sky", so he had the same view on educated female comrades.

Xiao Jiahua was ashamed, because in her previous life she majored in business administration and knew almost nothing about math, physics and chemistry.

However, I heard from Professor Qi that Qi Keyan studied physics when he was in college.

Speaking of business administration, she suddenly had a bold idea.

"Uncle Zhao, we have such a good harvest, and everyone has done a great job. Can we give everyone some benefits and rewards before the harvest? This way, everyone will be more motivated when we plant winter wheat next time!"

Zhao Fuda thought for a moment and said, "That's great. The key is what kind of welfare should I apply for? There is an old cow on the farm. It broke its front leg when it went up the mountain some time ago. How about I apply to the society and kill it to eat its meat?"

What could be wrong with Lao Niu? That's not what she meant.

Xiao Jiahua: "...Forget it. The old cow has recovered from his injury and can still be used to cultivate the farmland and sow seeds."

Village Chief Zhao scratched his head and said, "But, except for the lack of meat, there is nothing else missing in the village, right?"

Xiao Jiahua was anxious, "We are short of it!"

Comparing the present with the perspective of the future, being poor is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

Xiao Jiahua picked out some points and said, "Sugar, salt, kerosene, food and clothing, except for coarse grains and basic vegetables, everything is in short supply."

Village Chief Zhao: "You can buy these at the supply and marketing cooperative in town."

Xiao Jiahua: "It's too far! The things in the town's supply and marketing cooperative are very expensive, and the variety is limited. It's like a war every time I go there. The shopping experience is too bad, and everyone has something to say."

"Xiaoxiao, what do you mean?"

Xiao Jiahua said: "Our Qinghe Village has mountains and water, and maybe even mines. Our grain production has already ranked first among all the villages. We have the strength to apply to the county to establish our own rural supply and marketing cooperative."

"What, start your own rural supply and marketing cooperative?"

Zhao Fuda’s eyes widened.
