1983: From Land Sharing to Household Ownership

"Today's tofu fish is tender, fragrant, and delicious."

"Yes, I haven't eaten this kind of deep-fried tofu for two months. I fry it with tea, and the tofu is fragrant on the outside and tender on the inside. The same is true for this big grass carp. It's fried to a golden yellow. It's really fragrant."

For dinner today, Wang Qiang went to the tofu shop in the village in the morning, bought a few pieces of tofu, and made a big pot of tofu fish that everyone likes to eat.

Not only tofu fish, Wang Qiang also made an old ginkgo duck, which was stewed in a large casserole, and the soup was very fresh.

The five people's food intake is not small, and with Ah Cai and the other big dogs, it is absolutely impossible to waste it.

Everyone was eating happily when the light bulb in the large living room on the second floor suddenly turned on!

That yellow-white light illuminates the entire large living room splendidly!

"Wow!"

"Calling! It's really calling!"

"That's great! The house is so bright!"

"Calling so soon? It's not even six o'clock!"...

Several girls were stunned, and then, one by one, jumped up from the big wooden chair!

They didn't care that they were not full, they were all jumping around randomly, and their faces were all red.

These girls, it is not that they have never seen electric lights. They have seen them several times in the city, and they have also seen some electrical appliances such as electric fans.

But that is completely different from the feeling of having electricity in your home.

Seriously, life without electricity and life with electricity are almost completely different feelings.

It can be said that this is the mode of life of the two eras.

Especially in summer and early autumn, the hot weather, without electricity, makes people very uncomfortable, there are many mosquitoes and flies, it is simply suffering.

"Brother, we'll go buy electrical appliances tomorrow!"

"That's right! My brother said that he wants to buy a color TV! He also said that the Peony brand and imported Panasonic and Hitachi are good."

"Buy a big refrigerator, buy a big freezer!"

"I want an electric fan the most, so it will be very comfortable at night."

"Unfortunately, my brother said that it is difficult to buy air conditioners now, and imported ones are basically sold out."

Not only Wang Qiang's family, but at this time, the whole Jiangbei Village was full of cheers!

The cheers were so loud that even the Wang Qiang family who lived at the end of the village could hear them clearly.

There is no way, this is the first time in history that the villagers of Jiangbei Village have used electric lights!

As the lights of each villager's house were lit, the cheers intensified, as if the night was about to be torn apart!

Even if the villagers have no money, they can still afford one or two light bulbs and a set of pull-wire switches. They can still afford it in the mode of saving electricity.

However, saving has been integrated into the hearts of most people in this era. Most of them only use a light bulb at night, and they are reluctant to keep it on.

The current monthly electricity bill is definitely more expensive than the use of oil lamps.

To be honest, even if a complete set of electrical appliances is given to every household in the village for free today, only a few can afford it.

From now on, the monthly electricity bill is also the main expense of the home.

"Brother, everyone in the village is screaming!"

"Yeah, it sounds like they're too happy!"

"Jiangbei Village is electrified for the first time, who wouldn't be excited?"...

Everyone heard the cheers coming from the direction of the village, and several girls were discussing again.

Because they were too excited, everyone stopped having dinner. Anyway, they were almost full before.

It doesn't matter if there is a little more leftovers, there are still five big dogs waiting outside!

Everyone turned on the switches of all the lights on the second floor, and looked at the bright second floor, and their hearts became more and more excited.

My brother said that although the electricity bill is relatively expensive now, but if the family has money, even if they use it hard, it is only 180 yuan a month, and they can fully afford it.

Indeed, a gangster with golden fingers is still a gangster who knows the direction of the next 40 years. If he can't even pay the electricity bill, he might as well hang himself.

"Sister, you and Lin'er are in charge of cleaning up the big kitchen, and I'll feed the dog!"

The little girl Wanling started the arrangement with great interest.

She has always been the most assertive and decisive among the girls in the family.

Although she is the youngest, her sisters and sisters listen to her very much.

"Sister, I'm going too!"

Wan Yu hurriedly followed, "The two of you together, move faster."

Wang Qiang cheerfully looked at his sisters and the others who were busy all over the place, and he was not idle either. He helped Wanjun and Chen Lin, and cleaned up the big kitchen in a while.

Seeing the two girls mopping the floor, he went to the large living room to make a pot of Qingshen tea, filled himself a cup, and sat on the large sofa to drink slowly.

Ten minutes later, the four girls, who had already finished their busy work, sat patiently on the sofa in the large living room and slowly drank a cup of Qingshen tea.

There is no way, it is now evening, and it will take a while before night falls.

It's not dark yet, so it's not very beautiful to light the big lighthouse.

If you want to see the real beauty, you have to wait until night falls completely.

No wonder they were looking forward to it so much. It was because the lighthouse built by Wang Qiang was too tall and shocking.

Moreover, after the big lighthouse was lit, the night view of the artificial lake was estimated to be beautiful.

When everyone patiently finished drinking a pot of Qingshen tea, night finally came.

"Let's go!"

"Brother, sister! Hurry up!"

"Xiaoyu! Xiaoling! Run slowly! Why are you running so fast?"

"Hey! How many times have I told you? Don't be rash!"...

For a while, the large living room was noisy, making Wang Qiang unable to laugh or cry.

After a while, Wan Jun held an oil lamp and took the lead, followed by three little girls who were walking and jumping, and five big dogs were running around around them.

Wang Qiang walked unhurriedly at the end, following his sister and the others towards the artificial lake.

The artificial lakeside is not very far away, and has arrived soon.

In order to protect the switches of the two large lighthouses from being wetted by water and short-circuiting, Wang Qiang specially built a pavilion by the artificial lake.

In this exquisite pavilion, there is a large stone table surrounded by six bluestone stools, polished very smoothly.

The switches for the large light bulbs of the two large lighthouses are located on the inside of a stone pillar, and there are two large wooden boxes to protect them from being wet by the rain during the storm.

However, these two large wooden boxes are installed on the inner side of a stone pillar near the top of the pavilion. Under normal circumstances, they will never be wet by rain.

"Brother, is this the switch for the two big lighthouses?"

"Humph! Sister, this must be it!"

"I'll come first!"

"No! I'll come first!"

"Hey! I'm afraid of you! Let's just get ready. I count one, two, three, and we'll start together. What do you think, sister?"

"Good! Just do it!"

This pair of twin sisters must have been enemies in their previous lives, and they liked to make fun of each other at ordinary times, and it is the same now, which makes people laugh or cry.

After a while, the twin girls were very excited and put one hand on the switch.

"one"

"two"

"three!"

"Crack!" "Crack!" After the repeated clanging, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened!

The light is bright, but not dazzling.

Because ordinary civilian bulbs in this era are not incandescent lamps, nor energy-saving lamps.

Nowadays, the light bulbs used by ordinary people basically have only one color, that is, yellow and white.

This is the kind of dim light written in textbooks, not dazzling, very soft.

Under the cauldron lid of a large lighthouse, there is a circle of large bulbs, about a dozen of them.

The twenty or so large bulbs of these two large lighthouses are all lit, and the light is really bright.

And the big lighthouse is very high, about 18 meters, and it illuminates the entire artificial lake area.

Under this bright light, the sparkling artificial lake is like a dream, full of blurred colors.

The island in the middle of the artificial lake is also hazy and beautiful.

The lights here have filled this 80-acre site with indeterminate rays of light, and when you look at it from afar, it looks much better than in the daytime.

"so beautiful!"

"Yes! Yes! It's so beautiful!"

"Our home looks completely different at night from daytime!"

"This area of ​​our home will be very convenient to walk at night in the future, and basically we can see clearly."

The nighttime beauty of this artificial lake, a few little girls really like it very much.

No other reason, just two words: beautiful.

In other words: beautiful.
