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

Mrs. Qian cried and shouted at the top of her lungs, and her sharp voice shattered the tranquility and liveliness of the entire Qingshan Brigade.

New excitement squeezed out from the opening.

Li Aihua, Xiao Shuanzi and Zheng Xiaopeng were squatting in Xu Yan's yard waiting for the electricity to be turned on. When they heard Mrs. Qian crying outside, they could no longer squat.

Xiao Shuanzi ran to the gate and took a look outside, then shouted to the people in the yard, "It's Grandma Qian. She said that the educated youth Xiao Qin ran away with her money."

"what?"

Li Aihua stood up suddenly and almost fell down. Fortunately, Zheng Xiaopeng was quick to help her up.

"Little Qin the educated youth ran away?"

"That's what Grandma Qian said," said Xiao Shuanzi.

Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo were talking to the workers about which room needed electricity when they heard the conversation between Li Aihua and Xiao Shuanzi. The two looked at each other and continued talking to the electrician.

Although the workers usually like to watch the fun, they still have to complete their work first. Their goal today is to complete thirty households.

This is only the eighteenth household, so I don’t have the time to pay attention to other things.

"How many watts of light bulb do you want?" one of the workers asked.

"How many watts?" Xu Yan took a look into the wooden box where he kept the light bulbs.

"We have 15-watt, 25-watt, 40-watt, 60-watt, and 100-watt models," the worker said, adding, "The higher the wattage, the more electricity it consumes. The houses before yours all had 15-watt models."

Xie Zhuo stood aside without saying anything, leaving the decision-making power to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan...

How could Xu Yan understand all this?

People in later generations no longer use the old-fashioned incandescent lamps with tungsten filaments in their homes, and she has never done any research on how many watts the lamps in her home are.

She turned her gaze to Xie Zhuo again.

"You are the head of the family," Xu Yan said, "You decide."

Xie Zhuo chuckled, which attracted slightly puzzled glances from several workers, who probably didn't know what was so funny about this sentence.

Of course he didn't explain too much. He coughed dryly to stop laughing and looked around the rooms for a while.

Finally, Xie Zhuo said to install a 100-watt one in the main room, a 60-watt one in his and Xu Yan's rooms, as well as Dabao and Xiaobao's rooms, and a 40-watt one in the remaining rooms.

The worker, who was about to take out 25-watt and 15-watt light bulbs, paused and looked at him in surprise, thinking he had heard wrong.

"Young man, you may not know this," the worker kindly reminded him, "If this is the case, your electricity bill will be more than three yuan a month."

"Yes," Xie Zhuo nodded, "I understand. From now on, we will have to pay for electricity on our own."

Workers: “…”

Xu Yan: “…”

Xie Zhuo would come up with some abstract remarks from time to time, and Xu Yan still hasn't gotten used to it.

Because of his request, the workers installed light bulbs in every room after pulling the electrical wires and collected money for the bulbs.

Zheng Xiaopeng was watching from the side and was shocked. The third brother was really a spendthrift.

He and Li Aihua discussed it all morning and finally decided to install a 15-watt light bulb in their room and Xiao Shuanzi's room respectively.

At night, it’s enough to turn on the light so that you can see people, it doesn’t need to be too bright.

Judging from what the third brother means, he wants the house to be as bright at night as during the day.

Xie Zhuo didn’t think too much about it. If he wasn’t afraid that all 100-watt units would be too eye-catching, he would really want to install all 100-watt units.

Little did he know that with someone like him, not only in the entire Qingshan Brigade, but even in the entire Qingping County, there were few households that dared to dress like this.

Everyone's thoughts are similar to Zheng Xiaopeng and the others. It's enough to be able to see people clearly. The electricity bill is very expensive.

Because the next house was Li Aihua's, Li Aihua had no time to join in the fun. When the workers were digging holes and planting electric poles in front of her house, she stretched her neck to look towards Qian Pozi's house.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far and I couldn’t see anything.

A little later, the captain, with a gloomy face, summoned the men in the village and asked them to go out together and disperse to look for Qin Li.

Xu Yan was correcting the test papers with Xie Zhuo.

Xie Zhuo has made fewer and fewer mistakes recently. For some questions, as long as he has done them once, he will basically not make any mistakes when he encounters the same type again.

"Now I know who Dabao and Xiaobao take after," Xu Yan supported her chin with her hand and looked at him with her beautiful eyes blinking.

"Who?" Xie Zhuo put the notebook away.

"Uncle San," Dabao, who was writing obediently, put down his pencil and said, "Uncle San is as smart as Xiaobao and me."

Xu Yan was amused by his words.

Xie Zhuo also laughed, "How can you brag about yourself like this? You are not modest at all."

"But we are very smart," Dabao pouted, "Aren't we, Third Aunt?"

"Yes, they are all very smart," Xu Yan wanted to laugh when he heard the captain shouting outside.

The men searched outside for several hours but couldn't find Qin Li.

Mrs. Qian's eyes were swollen from crying. She collapsed on the road and knelt down, begging God to tell her where Qin Li was hiding.

Wang Ermaizi had a gloomy face and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he would eat Qin Li alive as long as he found her.

But no one found Qin Li.

After dinner, Xie Zhuo was called out by the team leader to search for a long time. He did not return home until it was completely dark.

"Didn't find it?" Xu Yan gave Xie Zhuo some clothes and asked him to take a shower first.

"No," Xie Zhuo took the clothes, "I looked in the mountains, but didn't find anyone."

"Then where can she go?" Xu Yan thought slowly.

In her previous life, Qin Li was admitted to university directly, but she didn't expect that she would leave so early in this life.

However, without a letter of introduction from the team leader and without the college entrance examination, where could she go?

It is indeed much more convenient after having electric lights. At least I don’t have to take a shower in the dark, and Xu Yan doesn’t have to read under the flickering light of candles.

only……

When someone insisted on doing something with the lights on, Xu Yan couldn't bear it anymore and pushed Xie Zhuo.

"No," Xu Yan reached out to pull the light cord.

Unexpectedly, before he touched the rope hanging on the edge of the kang, his thin arm was held down by Xie Zhuo.

Compared with Xie Zhuo's body size, even though Xu Yan has gained some weight now, he still looks like a big lion and a little kitten.

The big lion crouched low over the kitten, not pressing it hard, but still able to control it so that it couldn't break free.

"I want to see, Yanyan," Xie Zhuo's voice was very low, and when it reached Xu Yan's ears, it brought a dizzying and tingling feeling.

Xu Yan didn't agree.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Yan's face turned red, and he kicked him on the waist. "What's so good about it?"

"Never seen it," Xie Zhuo said.
