After the New Year, the winter snow began to melt, the weather gradually warmed up, all things revived, and the villagers began to work in the fields again.
The neighborhood committee also went to work as usual, and Xu Zhengrong usually watched over the pig farm, spending all his energy and money on it, and taking it very seriously.
Seeing that the weather was getting warmer, Xu Zhengrong remembered another important matter, pulling electricity, so he went to the town to apply for pulling electricity. Yao Zhouzheng, who was wandering on the road, saw him and said, "Uncle Xu, what a coincidence, why are you in town?"
Xu Zhengrong also knew this nephew of Yao Cuilian. He had been beaten by Gu Xi and Wang Xu before and had caused a lot of trouble. "Xiao Yao, I'm going to apply for electricity for the village."
Yao Zhouzheng opened his eyes wide in surprise: "The village is going to have electricity? Will every household have electricity?"
Xu Zhengrong smiled and boasted: "Everyone is powered up, and no one can be left behind. Oh, I went out late today, and it's almost noon, I have to go quickly."
Yao Zhou was looking at Xu Zhengrong's smug back. At that time, not every household in the city was willing to use electricity, and most people still used kerosene lamps. But Qingmiao Village was going to have electricity, and how could every villager be willing to do so? There must be something fishy going on.
Yao Zhouzheng thought about it for a while, then went to find Liu Xiuni and Yao Cuilian to find out more about the situation.
Yao Zhouzheng bought a new bicycle, spending half a year's salary plus his parents' subsidy. I want to buy a watch but I don’t know how long I have to wait. I think of Wang Xu, a country boy. What did Gu Xi like about him? She bought him a bicycle and a watch, and they are even dating. I feel jealous when I think about this. What’s the good of Wang Xu being so fierce? He will regret it when he gets beaten up black and blue in the future.
Liu Xiuni was riding a bike very fast. She was working in the field. When she saw Yao Zhouzheng coming to find her, she dropped her tools and left. No matter how Bai Tao called out to her, it was useless. Bai Tao was so angry that she dropped her tools and went to rest under a tree.
Liu Xiuni happily took Yao Zhouzheng's arm and said, "Why are you here? You haven't come to see me for more than three weeks. I thought you had forgotten me."
Yao Zhouzheng broke free from his arms calmly: "We are in public, please be careful of the impact, we will go to the mountains later. I have been busy these few weeks, I bought two bicycles, I need to make more money, otherwise how can I support you."
As he said that, he took out a bag of egg cake from his bag and said, "I'm afraid I miss you too. Take this and eat it. You're getting thinner and thinner, but it looks good."
Liu Xiuni happily took the egg cake and ate it in small bites, not as eagerly as before. She learned this from observing Gu Xi. Gu Xi ate slowly, which was very pretty. She followed him for a long time and now she has learned about 70% of it. Yao Zhouzheng saw her like this, and he liked her more and more. His heart was surging, and he couldn't help but say: "Let's go to my aunt's house to put the bicycle away, and then we will go to the mountains. I miss you so much."
She discovered that every time Yao Zhouzheng saw Gu Xi, he would stare at her with a complicated look, showing jealousy, anger, and admiration. She thought that the person Yao Zhouzheng really liked was probably Gu Xi, but so what? She liked Yao Zhouzheng because he had a city hukou, had a job in town, and could spend some money on her. She had a complete falling out with her family and might not be able to go back, so she had to find a way out for herself.
The two of them quickly entered the mountain. After a warm and intimate moment, Yao Zhouzheng was very pleased to see Liu Xiuni's well-behaved appearance. Gu Xi was full of thorns, but Xiuni was still the best. He finally remembered the business: "I saw the village chief in town today. He said he was going to apply for electricity for the village. Did you know?"
Liu Xiuni was also surprised when she heard about the power supply: "I didn't know about it. There was no news at all. If someone knew, they would definitely tell everyone about it happily. It would be impossible to keep it secret."
Yao Zhouzheng thought for a moment and said, "Why are you so happy? I see you are all worried. Electricity is very expensive. They also said that every household must have electricity. It will cost at least 600 to 700 yuan. Where will the money come from? I guess we have to ask the villagers and you educated youth for it. 600 to 700 yuan, each household should at least pay 5 yuan. And we have to pay the electricity bill every month."
When Liu Xiuni heard that she had to spend money, she was a little unhappy: "What? I have to spend money? Why didn't the village chief come to ask for our opinions? Isn't this a forced sale?"
Yao Zhouzheng held the man in his arms and continued to stir up trouble: "Isn't it? Besides, your village is now running a pig farm, so it must use electricity all the time. When the time comes, the electricity bill will be shared equally by everyone. Then at the end of the year, will the profit from pig farming be shared equally by everyone? No, it all goes to the team. You don't know the money from the team, and you don't know whose pocket it goes in the end."
Liu Xiuni suddenly remembered something: "Wang Xu often goes to this pig farm. He invited a veterinarian who is an expert in pig farming to give lectures. He also went to listen and listened very seriously. There is also Qianjin who works in the pig farm. Some people say that it was Wang Xu who made the decision to invite him to go. I don't know if it's true or not. I feel that this is not a simple matter."
Yao Zhouzheng immediately became upset after hearing this. He thought deeply for a moment and said, "In this case, they must be up to no good. Go and tell the villagers about this quietly. We can't let them be kept in the dark and foolishly make way for others. You are doing a good thing."
Liu Xiuni originally wanted to refuse, and instinctively didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Xi anymore. Gu Xi was right, after becoming strangers, she felt more at peace and not so angry anymore, and her breasts didn't hurt when she had her period anymore.
But Yao Zhouzheng is a man who cannot accept rejection when he wants you to do something. Once you are rejected, he will either give you the cold shoulder or torture you in various ways. You can only nod and say, "Okay, I'll go talk to the aunt in the village later."
Yao Zhouzheng touched her face, then bent down and kissed her. The two of them were intimate for a while, then left together, panting. Yao Zhouzheng went to Yao Cuilian's house to visit and wait for news.
After a while, Liu Xiuni came over and signaled with her eyes that it was done. She also took some wild vegetables that she had just picked in the mountains and gave them to Yao Cuilian: "Aunt, I just picked this in the mountains. I'll give you an extra dish."
Yao Cuilian took it with thanks, and Liu Xiuni was shocked when she saw it. There were bruises on her face that had not yet healed, and frostbite scars on her hands. She had lost a lot of weight and was completely different from her former vigor and vitality. Her eyes, which used to be full of brilliance, were now dead.
Yao Zhouzheng was also shocked when he first arrived: "Aunt, this Tian Guodong dared to attack you? Do you want me to find someone to break his legs? He really doesn't respect our Yao family."
These words seemed to be spoken to Yao Cuilian, but were actually meant for Old Lady Tian on the side.
Mrs. Tian was really frightened after hearing this: "Xiao Yao, Guodong was drunk and hit Yao Cuilian accidentally when she was trying to avoid him, so you can't blame Guodong. Besides, it's normal for a husband to hit his wife. It's not right for us outsiders to interfere in matters between husband and wife, and your aunt didn't say anything."
Yao Zhouzheng was obviously unconvinced. "How can you fall like this? Come on and let me see. Don't forget, Wangdi and Congbao can only rely on our family to introduce them to date and jobs in the future. I think you don't know your place."
Old Mrs. Tian's face turned pale and blue. "Our two families are distant relatives. I have always been nice to Cuilian since she came to my house. She fell in love with Guodong and insisted on marrying me. I saw that she was sincere and helped her find a way to drive away the original daughter-in-law. Now you have to say a few words for Guodong."
Yao Cuilian also knew that Yao Zhouzheng was just talking casually. If she really asked for help, he would not help at all. She felt very sad, but for Congbao, she could only bear it: "Zhouzheng, it's okay. I was careless. They treated me very well."
After a while, Tian Guodong came back from work and saw Yao Zhouzheng: "Zhouzheng is here? Bring me some more dishes later. I just asked someone to buy a piece of meat."
