Dashan Makes a Living 1984

"Come here, sister-in-law, what to cook for me today."

Wang Tianxin and Wang Tiancheng are very close to Li Yali, and their lips are sweet as hell.

"How about stir-fried pork with shredded potatoes and vermicelli?"

"That's a good relationship. I can eat three steamed buns with my sister-in-law's cooking." Wang Tianxin got up and ran towards the kitchen.

"Don't worry, how much can you eat?" Li Yali said with a smile.

Because there are too many people at the station, there is no room to sit in the kitchen, so everyone tacitly divides them into two groups.

Several members of the Wu family joined forces with Liu Yuan, the rest of Li Guanping, and Wang Tianxiao.

Although Wang Tianxiao never regarded the brothers of the Wu family and Liu Yuan as outsiders, they still had self-knowledge, knowing that the people here were relatives of the boss, and they were outsiders working for the boss after all.

Just because someone's boss is nice, you can't make an inch of it.

Originally, the only people here were Wang Tianxin who usually gobbled it up, as if he had never eaten, but today Wang Xiaolan was added, as if the siblings were about to compete, the dishes were quickly finished.

Wang Fang was so angry that her little mouth pouted.

"Liu Da, Second Maid, you eat too fast, I can't keep up with your chopsticks."

"Ah, is Fangwa not full?"

Wang Xiaolan held Wang Fang in her arms and asked lovingly.

"How can I be full? You have already eaten ten chopsticks with one chopstick. I am just a doll. My hands are definitely not as fast as yours. You adults don't know how to let me order. I want to tell you a story. .”

"Hehe, what story do you want to tell?"

"Kong Rong gave pears, my dad told me about it."

"Haha, stop talking, the lady and Dada know they are wrong, let's eat more slowly, and save some for our Fangba."

"I think it will work." Wang Fang nodded.

But she soon found that the chopsticks of the two elders were slow as if they were stuck with glue, and comforted them and said, "Don't be so slow, you can just go a little faster."

The child's innocence and fun made everyone in the room laugh.

After dinner, Li Yali and Wang Xiaolan went to clean up the kitchen utensils, while Wang Fang went down to play.

When she goes out now, there are a bunch of bodyguards behind her.

Three dogs, two cats, and a confident eagle.

It's awesome.

With this kind of combat power, she can even run rampant in the mountains, let alone the station.

Inside the room, Wang Tianxin looked at the dim light, and suddenly thought of something, and said to Wang Tianxiao, "Brother, do you know what electricity is?"

"electricity?"

"Yes, I heard that it is a very magical thing that can emit light."

"Why do you ask this?" Wang Tianxiao asked excitedly.

If he guessed correctly, this is the village where the circuit is going to be laid.

"There was a meeting in the village two days ago, and it was said that they wanted to lead electricity into the house and light up the courtyard. I don't know what it was. At that time, some people in the village were willing, and some were against it..."

"Why do you object? Electricity is a good thing. In the future, every household will have electricity connected to it. How can anyone object?"

"Isn't it because of the need to pay?" Wang Tianxin explained: "I heard from the village chief that this time, the government subsidized the majority of the work, but the villagers were required to pay a share of the money, 50 yuan per family. Didn't everyone They don’t have much money, and only a few families have real money, so why don’t you disagree.”

When Wang Tianxiao heard this, he understood what was going on.

Bringing electricity into the home is not an easy task.

Because people in the village had never been exposed to such things as electricity before, many people with no education and experience could not figure out what it was.

No one is willing to do it for free, let alone charge for it.

But the problem is that to send electricity to every house, it is not just out of thin air, but the wire needs to be sent all the way from the main transformer at the entrance of the village to every house.

That process requires wires and poles.

These things can only be done by people and money, and the power supply station can't afford to share them.

"Then this matter is delayed?"

"I don't know the specifics. The captain came to our family once. At that time, my mother disagreed. She said that she had used kerosene lamps all her life, and she would still live to the old age. She would not agree to pay, let alone free."

"That's because she still doesn't know the power of electricity. How about this, you can tell your mother this time when you go back, just tell me what I said, the electricity in the yard still needs to be connected, and I'll just pay for it."

"Oh well."

Wang Tianxin hesitated, and said again: "Yes, my mother is still willing to listen to what the second brother said."

Wang Tianxiao smiled.

He was thinking in his heart, since the village is about to start electrification, should he also electrify this station?

After returning from the new century, the biggest unaccustomed thing is that it is dark everywhere, and many things cannot be done without electricity.

He had been thinking about this from the first day he was reborn, and now he finally had a clue.

Another day, he asked the exact power supply office to see how his station should be connected to electricity, and he would pay for it and contribute as much as he needed, anyway, he didn't lack these.

.

I thought that my mother had become gentler now, and could accept Wang Xiaolan's return smoothly.

But the next day Wang Tianxin came to the station, but said that his mother was very upset when she heard that Wang Xiaolan didn't go to see her first when she came home.

Originally, Wang Tianxin wanted to tell Wang Tianxiao secretly, but he was overheard by Wang Xiaolan who happened to come in to get something.

Suddenly, she became even angrier.

She bluntly said that her mother didn't want to kill her, and she didn't want to see her mother, so it's best not to meet her again.

Wang Tianxiao could only smile wryly.

This is where women differ from men.

Relatively speaking, men are more rational and women are more emotional.

Therefore, men often think about things and think about what is the most appropriate way to maximize their benefits, while women think about things to see if they can match their mood.

If they are in a bad mood, they will smash even a golden mountain.

"Brother, did I cause trouble?" Wang Tianxin stuck out his tongue.

"It's nothing. I'll go home in two days and tell my mother about it. There's nothing unresolved between mother and daughter. Although it's fine for your sister to live with me, there's something hidden in my heart." , is not always a long-term solution.”

"That's a good feeling."

Only then did Wang Tianxin feel relieved and went to look for Liu Yuan.

Wang Tianxiao went back to his room and discussed the matter with his wife.

Li Yali smiled bitterly and said: "These things in your family are really troublesome. I feel that many people are very uncomfortable. You said that Lan Lan, such a good girl, has nothing to do on weekdays, but why is she having trouble with her mother?" What about your temper. Besides, mother, you obviously miss Lan Lan in your heart, but you don't admit it, isn't this pushing each other far away?"

Wang Tianxiao shook his head helplessly, "Isn't it? It's a bit troublesome. This is probably the temper of our old Wang family. They all inherited the bad temper of mother."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I'm going back to the village to have a look in the next few days, and talk to my mother about this by the way."

"That's fine too."

"By the way, I think the relationship between Guanping and Xiaoqing is very stable. Didn't you tell my aunt and uncle to let them get engaged first, and make this matter finalized? What do you think?"

"Okay." Li Yali was of course very happy to hear that Wang Tianxiao cared about her younger brother. "I think it's also good. The night is long and the dreams are many. If you settle down early, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of a wish."

"Well, let's find out what the two of you say in private. We should worry about it, but after all, it's not them. Marriage matters are more dependent on the relationship between the two parties. It's not sweet to twist melons, it will only delay each other."

"That's the truth." When Li Yali answered, she looked into her husband's eyes and thought that it was really a kind of luck that she could meet such a good man as her husband.

She didn't know, but in Wang Tianxiao's heart, she was also Wang Tianxiao's Bai Yueguang.

Wang Tianxiao thanked God countless times for sending such a gentle and virtuous woman to his side. He must have saved the earth in his life to have such great merit.

"If you want to get engaged, then you need to prepare the gift money. By the way, you can ask Guanping to see how much savings he has. If it is not enough, give him some self-support," Wang Tianxiao said softly, after a little thought, he added : "But pay attention to the timing and method, don't let him feel that we are interfering in his life. Money matters, don't be too obvious..."

"I know."

Li Yali gently put her hand on the back of her husband's.

What a gentle person, she thought silently.

"In addition, I also went to Yaqin's house when I had time. Didn't I receive a lot of help from her and Shengli before, and now our life is easier, and the kindness that should be repaid must be returned to others."

Li Yali smiled and said: "Yaqin is not the kind of person who seeks rewards, she is careless, and she is the kind of enthusiastic person."

"You can't say that," Wang Tianxiao smiled, "No one can always be kind to others without pursuing anything. People and people are mutual. When others treat us well, we have to repay others, so that we can maintain the relationship forever. .”

Li Yali nodded, "Well, what you said makes sense. Let's go together when the weather gets warmer. Now Pengwa is still young, and it's cold outside. It's not good for your health to be blown by the cold wind."

"Okay, tell me when you want to go. I heard from Tianxin that the village is about to start laying electric circuits. Recently, I am going to the power supply station to see how we can solve the electricity here."

"Finally, we also have electricity here. It would be great if we could use electric lights. This kerosene lamp is too dark. At night, I can't see clearly when I want to do something. After looking at it for a long time, my eyes are too dazzled to see. something."

"Don't do it at night. We have plenty of time during the day. If we can't do it, we will spend money to buy it. We have been overworked. How can the human body suffer?"

Wang Tianxiao listened to his wife talking about eyes, and remembered that his wife's eyes were in a bad condition in the last life, and she could hardly see clearly.

Think about it, it was smoked by kerosene lamps in countless dark nights.

He looked at his wife's gentle and watery eyes, and it was hard to imagine how she became dry and lifeless step by step. The burden of life made such a woman lose her aura in the end.

It has nothing to do with him not giving her a happy life foundation.

In this life, he must treat her well.

"By the way, I made an insole for you, do you want to see it?"

Li Yali took out two pairs of insoles from under the pillow and handed them to Wang Tianxiao.

Wang Tianxiao took it over and took a look, one pair was blooming with riches and honor, and the other was mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Red, green, green, yellow, and yellow, the patterns are lifelike, the embroidery is meticulous, and the color matching is clean. It is really very beautiful.

Li Yali is a versatile woman with both civil and military skills.

Needless to say, Wu Neng shot the thief who stole food with a gun, the captain of the militia, and the captain of the basketball team.

Let's just talk about the text, it really takes a long time to talk.

First of all, she is good at writing calligraphy, especially cursive script and cursive script.

Although people of the older generation, as long as they have read books, can basically write brush calligraphy, but Li Yali's brush calligraphy and Wang Tianxiao's calligraphy are very good, and the fountain pen calligraphy is also very good.

Among women of the same age, her cultural level is at least a few people higher.

She has loved reading since she was a child, so she is well aware of the importance of knowledge, so she is under tremendous pressure. Even if her life is so bad that she has to swallow vegetables, she still makes all three children college students, two with Ph.D., and one with a master's degree.

She is very talented in drawing.

For example, the appearance of making insoles is drawn by herself on the sample first, and then embroidered slowly. Many women in the village asked her for insole samples.

She can also cut window grilles, a piece of red paper, she puts it on the kang for a while, then starts to fold the paper, and finally, after dazzled by the scissors, she unfolds it into a beautiful window grille.

She also makes sachets. Qingcheng is the hometown of sachets, and there is a Xiangbao Festival every year. At that time, she will bring all kinds of sachets to the city to sell in advance.

Needless to say, her cooking skills are basically self-taught. Every time she goes to dinner, she is the best candidate to help the cook, and the experience of helping the cook again and again allows her to gradually learn superb cooking skills. Can cook seventy or eighty dishes.

etc……

Wang Tianxiao took the insole and was very satisfied, praising it again and again.

"It's good if you like it. You are busy everywhere every day, and your feet must sweat a lot. It is good for your health to change your insoles frequently."

"Haha, you are still careful."

"That shouldn't be, I can't help you with other things." Li Yali pursed her lips and smiled, "I remember that my mother seems to celebrate her birthday next month, and I will embroider a few pairs for her then."

"Oh, mother's birthday, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me."

Wang Tianxiao was also slightly taken aback when Li Yali mentioned his mother's birthday.

My mother didn't celebrate a few birthdays before she was alive, and it took many years after she died, and she gradually forgot about it.

It was suddenly mentioned today, and I remembered it again.

Thinking back carefully, this year happens to be my mother's 50th birthday, and it is estimated that the brothers and sisters in the family are planning to celebrate her mother.

Generally, this kind of situation is organized by the eldest Wang Tianzhong, and the fourth eldest Wang Tianyi implements it concretely, and the other brothers and sisters just contribute money and efforts.

Although Wang Tianxiao is capable now, he doesn't want to be in the limelight, so he should prepare for them to do whatever they want, as long as he participates when the time comes.

Filial piety to parents is a matter of heart and action, as long as he does the duties that a son should have.

.

In the afternoon, Wang Tianxiao went to the town power station to inquire about the cable.

As a result, I was blocked at the door and couldn't get in for a long time.

It is said that the prime minister's concierge, the seventh-rank official, and the old man at the gate of the power supply station are also very difficult to deal with.

No matter what, Wang Tianxiao was not allowed in.

The reason is that the power station does not accept ordinary people to enter, and it is impossible without a letter of introduction.

Wang Tianxiao mentioned that his forest farm is also a public place, and he also said that he actually has a letter of introduction, but he didn't bring it today.

But the concierge didn't care about him.

The old man is a professional veteran, very stubborn, and only accepts death.

Wang Tianxiao spittled and said it was done, but it still didn't help.

"Master, can you tell me, is Director Li in the institute today?"

"I don't know. If you want to see him, wait, but I won't guarantee when it will be."

The uncle was a little annoyed by Wang Tianxiao's questioning, and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to park the motorcycle at the entrance of the power distribution station and sit on it by himself, blocking the entrance of the power distribution station.

The concierge was a little disapproving at first, but soon found that Wang Tianxiao stopped at this door, and everyone who wanted to enter the power station had to go around. Everyone looked at Wang Tianxiao in amazement, not knowing who he was and what he was going to do , all pointing and talking non-stop.

It would be fine if there were only discussions, but things continued to ferment. A construction vehicle that was going out was stopped by Wang Tianxiao when it came back. The construction vehicle pressed the horn many times, but Wang Tianxiao did not move at all.

The two engineers got out of the car, pointed at Wang Tianxiao and asked, "Who are you, what are you doing here?"

Wang Tianxiao was lying on the motorbike and dozed off. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and pointed at the guard: "You ask him, I don't know why."

"Um?"

The two engineers looked at each other, and someone didn't know what they were doing?

But they looked at Wang Tianxiao's attire, and then looked at the motorcycle under him. They felt that this man did not look like an ordinary person, so they couldn't get angry directly, so they ran to ask the guard.

"What does this person do?"

The old doorman didn't expect Wang Tianxiao to be more stubborn than him, so he didn't let him in, and even blocked the door.

At first, he thought he would leave in a while, but Wang Tianxiao fell asleep directly, which made him a little bit hard to get off.

In fact, at this time, Wang Tianxiao only needs to buy him a pack of cigarettes or something to solve the problem.

But Wang Tianxiao just didn't want to.

He knows that he needs to build relationships when doing things, and he must also pay attention to uniting with all those who can be united.

However, that does not include this kind of guard.

This kind of person is just a villain who just guards a door and bullies others.

If you treat yourself like this today, your attitude towards others will definitely not be much better in the future.

I'm not used to his stink.

Seeing the engineer asking, the guard said quickly, "He said he wanted to see the director, but he couldn't say what to do, so I didn't let him in, and he blocked the door."

"Did you not tell, or did he not?"

"Oh...he hesitated and couldn't explain clearly."

The engineer frowned slightly. Everyone knew who this concierge was, but I heard that he was the father-in-law of a deputy director in the station, so it was hard to say anything directly.

"You'd better explain it to others and ask clearly. It's not a big deal to be stuck here. If we can't get in and don't talk about it, if the head of the meeting asks, the matter will become big."

"This..." The concierge hesitated, and felt that this was not the case all the time, so he walked out of the guard room, came to Wang Tianxiao's side, and asked, "What are you doing?"
