Marry a rough man in exchange for marriage, cannon fodder educated youth go to the countryside to wi

Xu Yan slept very late again last night, so he shouldn't have heard any noise in the morning. However, he still felt a little uncomfortable as something pressed against his lower back.

She moved, and then Xie Zhuo hugged her even tighter.

"It's hot," Xu Yan muttered, turning his head. Xie Zhuo then loosened his strength a little, and the distance between the two of them widened a little.

"Hey, thank you, baby," Xu Yan slowly woke up, his big eyes still hazy with a bit of sleeplessness, "Are you doing this a bit too often?"

Xie Zhuo paused as he was about to get up, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his voice still a little hoarse, "I can't help it, I have no resistance to you."

Xu Yan blinked, his eyes scanned his handsome face, then leaned over, hooked his arms around Xie Zhuo's neck and kissed him on the chin.

Look, isn’t it a coincidence?

The two of them got up quickly. After all, the weather was still hot and they were not wearing many clothes. They could just use cold water to wash and there was no need to waste time boiling hot water.

Xie Zhuo had treasured that linen shirt, which was the same color and style as Xu Yan's, and had kept it carefully in a box. Today, when he saw Xu Yan wearing it, and thinking that he didn't have to do any farm work today, he took it out and put it on too.

then……

He was very careful all morning, afraid that he would accidentally get his clothes dirty. Xu Yan watched and laughed.

"Didn't we wear the same white shirt when we got married?" Xu Yan said.

"That's different," Xie Zhuo bent down and was about to add firewood into the stove, but Xu Yan got there first.

"What's the difference?" Xu Yan asked casually.

Xie Zhuo did not answer, and Xu Yan did not ask any further questions.

Dabao and Xiaobao also got up. After brushing their teeth and washing their faces, they heard people talking outside. They ran to the gate and looked for a long time.

In the end, I didn't understand anything.

It was not until they finished breakfast and heard the team leader breaking a porcelain basin outside that they realized the team was going to get electricity, and with electricity they would no longer have to light kerosene lamps and candles.

Whether Xu Yan was in the future or the original owner in City B, the family used electric lights, so electricity was not strange to him at all. He just felt that the electricity was finally going to be connected, and he would no longer have to lie on the kang at eight or nine o'clock.

It’s a little better in summer, as it gets dark later.

If it is winter, the weather is cold and it gets dark at five or six o'clock, doesn't that mean we have to go to bed at five or six o'clock?

"Uncle San, what is electricity?" Dabao had never seen electricity, and it wasn't mentioned in books. When he heard the team leader introduce the workers who came to pull electricity, he looked up and asked Xie Zhuo.

"Electricity," Xie Zhuo subconsciously wanted to explain it to him, but after thinking about it, he patted his head and said, "Uncle San doesn't know much about this either, so let Aunt San explain it to you."

The last time he bought a bicycle, he accidentally said the wrong thing.

They said that the shuttle bus would be available in two months, so there was no need to buy a bicycle.

It was a good thing that Xu Yan didn't seem to care much at the time, otherwise, he would have to explain to her why he knew what would happen in the future.

In fact, it didn't seem like a big deal to tell Xu Yan directly that he was reborn, but at that time, the two of them had not reached the point where they had to reveal all their cards to her.

Now it has come to that point, but there has never been a good opportunity to bring up this matter.

Xu Yan talked to Dabao and Xiaobao about what it would be like if there was electricity at home. The two little guys' eyes widened immediately.

In fact, almost every household in the city has electric lights, and those with better economic conditions even have televisions at home. However, Dabao and Xiaobao rarely have the opportunity to go to the city, let alone at night, so they have never seen it.

Now when they heard Xu Yan say that the light at home would be almost as bright as during the day, they all jumped for joy.

When Xu Yan saw how happy they were, he also laughed for a long time.

The team leader was standing on the threshing floor holding the porcelain basin, with five or six electricians in blue work clothes standing beside him. There was already a circle of people surrounding him. In order to prevent the people behind him from hearing what he said, Song Guangming asked the people in the innermost circle to sit down.

People working in the fields have been dealing with the land all their lives. At this time, they don’t care whether the soil on the ground will dirty their clothes, and they just lie down on the ground.

There were some who were a little bit particular about this, but they just grabbed a handful of flattened wheat straw and put it under their buttocks and then sat down.

In this comparison, Xie Zhuo and Xu Yan seem a bit out of place.

They both wore the same linen brown shirt and black pants today, both of which were newly made and Xu Yan washed them clean after he brought them back.

Now let them sit on the ground...

Without thinking, Xie Zhuo pulled Liu Mancang and Li Li, who were standing behind them, in front of them, and he and Xu Yan reached the second circle.

Before Li Li could react to what was happening, Liu Mancang already understood Xie Zhuo's intention.

Ugh!

I don’t know if there is any possibility of curing my third brother’s mysophobia.

Song Guangming didn't have time to pay attention to some minor episodes. He saw that the crowd had lined up as he said, and then he explained the general situation.

That is to say, Qingshan Brigade is close to Qingping County, so it can have electricity at this time. The other production brigades cannot enjoy this good thing.

When everyone heard his words, they got a little excited.

But this boiling emotion did not last long and was broken by another sentence from Song Guangming.

"It's a good thing indeed," Song Guangming said, "but we need to pay the electricity bill."

"what?"

The crowd fell silent.

"Electricity costs 1.9 cents per kilowatt-hour. The more you use, the more you'll pay. I've asked some city dwellers about this. As long as you don't turn on the lights all the time and save a little, it'll cost you less than two dollars a month. If you're really frugal, it'll cost you less than one dollar..."

Before Song Guangming finished speaking, the crowd began to boil again.

"Two dollars a month, my God, that's a lot of money in a year," Mrs. Tian immediately said to the people around her.

The woman standing next to her was also an elderly woman. She lived a very frugal life and never spent any money. She was shocked when she heard the price was two dollars. Her eyes widened. "So expensive? We don't have electricity."

Li Aihua sat next to the team leader. Since her family was always the most active in joining in the fun, she was also the closest to the team leader.

At this moment, she crouched down, trotted towards Xu Yan, and then squeezed in to stand next to her, "Xu Yan, your family must need to connect electricity, right?"

Xu Yan nodded.

"I knew it," Li Aihua said, and then thought for a moment and asked, "You are an educated youth from the city, so your home must have had electricity a long time ago, right? Is it really as good as the team leader said after the electricity was connected?"

Seeing that she asked sincerely, Xu Yan repeated to her what he had said to Dabao and Xiaobao before.

There were a few people around who were also listening quietly.

"That's really good," Li Aihua listened with longing, but frowned when she thought of the electricity bill, "Your family uses so much electricity, the electricity bill must be quite high."

Xu Yan really doesn’t know this.

When the original owner was at home, she was only responsible for using electricity, and her family would not let her pay the electricity bill.

She shook her head at Li Aihua, "I don't know about that."

"You're such a spendthrift," Mrs. Qian turned around and whispered to a gossiping woman after hearing what Xu Yan said.

The woman glanced at Xu Yan, then at Xie Zhuo, and then pretended to sigh, "This is the retribution of our Xie family. The third child's parents died early, otherwise they would have vomited to death."

When Mrs. Qian heard her say this, she immediately nodded.

Although Song Guangming shouted for a long time about the benefits of electricity, many people still said that they had no money and they would not use the electricity.

"There's nothing good I can do with this money," said Mrs. Qian. "My family still owes several hundred yuan in foreign debt, and I don't know when we can pay it off."

After hearing what she said, the people around her immediately picked up her words and talked about Qin Li.

After all, their family's foreign debt was incurred because of marrying Qin Li.

"She is working at home," Mrs. Qian said with an unpleasant expression, "She has married into our family, how can she still wait for others to serve her?"

“You still know how to discipline,” the woman said with a smile.

Mrs. Qian liked to hear this and she smiled proudly.

Qin Li has been sick since she was dragged home by Mrs. Qian in front of everyone.

I had a fever for several days in a row.

But Mrs. Qian acted as if she didn't notice that she was uncomfortable and threw all the work to her.

She had to finish her housework before going to work during the day, and then come back from a day of work. In the evening, she was forced by Wang Ermaizi to do things she was unwilling to do.

At the beginning, Wang Ermaizi was nice to her. When he knew she had a fever, he knew to use an ice towel to cool her down physically. But ever since Wang Guilan had a quarrel with Chen Jinxiang and she said in front of everyone that she had climbed into Wang Chao's bed.

He would beat and kick her at every turn.

Sometimes, even if he knew she was not feeling well, he would still force himself on her.

Today was the first day after the distribution of grain and money. Mrs. Qian and Wang Ermaizi had gone to watch the fun, leaving her alone at home. She struggled to sit up from the kang, took the clothes beside her and put them on, then put on her shoes.

Quietly sneaked into Mrs. Qian's room.

She knew where Mrs. Qian kept the money - in the crack of the wall on the side of the kang where she slept.

When she got up last night, she saw Mrs. Qian sitting on the kang counting banknotes late at night.

Some families agreed to draw electricity, while some did not. Song Guangming did not interfere too much. He just asked those who wanted to draw electricity to register their names with the accountant.

Then we just wait for electricity to be connected door to door.

Although Xie Zhuo was the third person to register his name, his family was sandwiched in the middle, so no matter which side he lined up from, he would have to wait until the afternoon.

He didn't go to the city again, nor did he go to watch the fun. He accompanied Xu Yan in reading books for the whole morning.

In the afternoon, it was finally their turn, but a small accident happened again.
