Chapter 118 Settlement

Bang Bang Bang

There was a knock on the door, and Yang Xiaotao frowned as to who could come at this time.

Before he could ask, Yan Fugui's voice sounded outside the door.

“Xiao Tao, my third uncle, I haven’t slept yet.”

As soon as Yang Xiaotao heard that it was Yan Fugui, he knew what this guy was planning.

"Abacus master, it's not easy to endure it till now."

I sneered in my heart, and then opened the door.

Outside the house, Yan Fugui was wearing a coat and had a humble look on his face.

And every time he shows this expression, it means that the calculation has begun.

"Third uncle, what do you want at this late hour?"

Yang Xiaotao stood at the door with no intention of letting him in.

Having dealt with him before, this guy is only interested in calculation and has no human touch.

If not, would you have come to steal food last time?

If not, how many children in the family will have no one to take care of them in old age?

If not,...

Yan Fugui sighed and asked with a smile, "Nothing, I just want to make it easier for you."

"What do you mean?"
< br>Yan Fugui said with a shrewd look, "Why don't you pull the wire?"
< br>"I asked the teachers at the school. This thread can be branched into many branches. As you know, when I am a teacher, I have to read books and prepare lessons at night. My eyes have been tired for so many years. If I can use Electric lights are also responsible for the flowers of the motherland.”

"So, I just want to pull one out of you. Not much, just one. What do you think?"

Yan Fugui looked kindly, but he knew clearly that this Every household must install an electric meter when installing electric wires. Now the state controls the use of electricity, so the cost for ordinary households is higher than that of the factory. One unit of electricity costs 8 cents.

This is a long-term expense. In a month, it costs at least eight cents, and more than one or two yuan.

Their family cannot afford it.

So I thought of a way to pull a wire from Yang Xiaotao. Not only did I save money on power, but I also didn’t have to install an electric meter. It also cost Yang Xiaotao money. I got multiple benefits with one stone, so why not?

When Yang Xiaotao heard Yan Fugui's words, he sneered at the kind thin face.

“Third uncle, are you stupid or do you think I am a fool?”

“You can’t afford to pay for pulling the wires, but you still want me to pay your electricity bill?”

"If you don't say anything, why don't you just pull one?"

"What's the difference between this and stealing electricity?"

Yan Fugui's face turned cold, and the smile he had when he first came was gone. The plan in his heart was exposed by Yang Xiaotao in public, and the shamelessness he had accumulated through years of calculations became painful.

"How can this be called stealing? Didn't I say hello to you?"

"Besides, you have already dragged me here, what happened to the use of a large courtyard? That point The money is not enough for you to have a meal!"

Yan Fugui said coldly, holding his glasses, but Yang Xiaotao turned around and slammed the door.

"You can go back to where you came from. If you want to use it, take the money and don't create a big courtyard. The courtyard belongs to everyone, not you alone."

Yang Xiaotao's voice came from the room, and Yan Fu stamped his feet proudly.

"You, you guy, don't know how to respect teachers, how to unite and love, sooner or later you will suffer."

After saying that, he turned and left.

At Yi Zhonghai’s house in the Intermediate Court, the aunt came back from the door and said to Yi Zhonghai.

“I really made you guess, Yan Laosan didn’t take any advantage.”

Yi Zhonghai lay on the kang and shook his head angrily, "This guy can't get enough oil and salt. Anyone who goes there will be in trouble." Then we can share it evenly.”

Auntie also wants to use electric lights so that she doesn’t have to wake up in the dark, especially when it’s cold and the ground is icy and it’s easy to fall.

“Don’t think about it, now this guy is the leader, we can’t follow him and make trouble, otherwise there will be trouble in the compound again.”

“Go to sleep, we will talk about it later. .”

The aunt sighed and said a little bit, "This guy also installed one for the old Chen family."

"Why do you think he is so interested in the old Chen family?"

" Tell me, do you want to get closer to him? Some, I think Yang Xiaotao is better than Silly Zhu, why don’t we change him?”

“Old Yi, Old Yi?”

Aunt Ma looked at Yi Zhonghai without saying anything and sighed again. , lie down and sleep.

Yi Zhonghai, who turned his head to the side, opened his eyes. He heard what Auntie said and felt a little regretful in his heart.

If Yang Xiaotao and Qin Huairu were together, there might be a chance.

But now, there is no turning back.

After a silent night, Yang Xiaotao got up early and got ready. Just after eating, he saw Li Tiejun and Wang Ruijun coming over. Li Tiejun was also carrying two light bulbs.

"Uncle Li, I'll be back early this afternoon. Just make the decision if you need anything."

Li Tiejun agreed and began to lead people to lay the line.

When they came to the factory, Wang Fa and others also knew about Yang Xiaotao's plan to pull electricity. They felt a little envious, but when they thought about their own situation, they dispelled this envy. Not everyone is like Yang Xiaotao. One person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. They have too many things to take care of, and they have to be careful about their monthly wages and food stamps.

Zhou Peng also came over and asked, and then said that his eldest brother Zhou Kui was going to his house today to see if he could help.

Yang Xiaotao naturally had no objection. Although there was nothing valuable at home and an acquaintance like Li Tiejun was watching, he was more relieved to have Zhou Kui go.

In his heart, the Zhou family is closer than Director Wang’s family.

After get off work in the afternoon, colleagues in the workshop also knew that Yang Xiaotao was in a hurry to go home, so they didn't bother him and quickly returned to the courtyard.

When I arrived at home, I saw Zhou Kui holding a ladder in the living room. Li Tiejun was installing an electric meter box on top. There was a main switch on top. As long as it was pulled down, the whole house could be disconnected. Yang Xiaotao looked around, then called Zhou Kui over, then took out ten yuan and asked him to go to Yongjun Restaurant.

Zhou Kui didn’t say anything, just took the money and walked out.

After a while, after it got dark, the entire room was installed. Seeing the sweat on the faces of Li Tiejun and others, Yang Xiaotao immediately installed the prepared light bulbs.

There were no incandescent lamps these days, let alone energy-saving lamps. Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao exchanged a few 40-watt ones from the exchange column, which were much brighter than those Li Tiejun brought.

"This light bulb costs one yuan a piece."

Li Tiejun looked at the light bulb that Yang Xiaotao took out, and installed all the lamp sockets in the room. When he turned on the light, it was like daytime. I can't help feeling that this guy is really having a hard time.

"Well, the latest one, 40 watts."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, looking at the room being brightly lit inside and outside, Xiaowei's cheers could still be heard in his heart , this guy is interested in this light energy.

Energy conversion, it seems that Xiaowei no longer needs to rely on the intermittent moonlight at night.

“Tsk, this guy is so bright.”

Wang Ruijun and the workers next to him also lamented that they didn’t see such power-consuming light bulbs often!

"Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, we've been tired for a day, let's go have a meal."

"I'll pay my wages by the way."

Without saying a word, Yang Xiaotao took Li Tiejun and walked out.

In the yard, everyone looked at the bright lights of Yang Xiaotao's house, and their mouths watered with envy.

“It’s so bright. From now on, you don’t have to worry about being pricked by thorns when eating fish at night.”

“That’s right, you can see clearly even when you go to the toilet.”

"Oh, this old Chen family has made a good neighbor."

"Stop talking about it, how much does it cost? Yang Xiaotao is really struggling. If this continues, who would dare to marry him?"

"You must be envious of people who can earn. If I were If you are twenty years old, I dare to do it.”

“Go and go, I will never stop.”

The sentient beings are just envious and jealous, but let them install light bulbs in their homes. Impossible.

“Little brother, here we come.”

At the entrance of Yongjun Restaurant, the proprietress looked at Yang Xiaotao and his group and immediately came to greet them.

"Sister, business is booming."

"Hey, that's all, hurry up and sit in the room."

Yang Xiaotao greeted Li Tiejun and the other three people to come in, while Zhou Kui was standing Look at the table.

At this moment, pot-wrapped pork, braised pork and two vegetarian dishes were all placed on the table. When Zhou Kui saw Yang Xiaotao coming, he took out the remaining money and prepared to give it to Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao pushed it over and let him hold it first.

There was no one else in the restaurant, and the elder brother who had finished cooking came out and said a few words.

When Yang Xiaotao asked how they were doing recently, the couple both smiled bitterly, saying that after the Chinese New Year, the business was getting worse day by day, and the allocated shares were getting smaller and smaller.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao remembered that because he had taken a historical turn

He was thinking that he would go back to Yangjiazhuang during the Chinese New Year to see the situation.

Li Tiejun and others sat down, accompanied by Yang Xiaotao and Zhou Kui. They did not dare to eat, but only tasted it briefly, obviously not wanting Yang Xiaotao to spend too much.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao asked Li Tiejun to settle the expenses for this time.

"Xiao Tao, this is a public part."

"Wires, telephone poles, electric gates, switches, and light sockets, a total of 86 yuan 4."

Dear Brother, settle the score clearly.

Not to mention settling accounts with the country.

Li Tiejun meticulously measured the specific amounts and stated them. These are all accounts that can be checked, and every cent is indispensable.

"As for the salary, you can just pay ten yuan."

Li Tiejun was not polite and directly revealed the number.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head after hearing this, "Uncle Li, I know you are taking care of me, but I can't let you suffer."

Yang Xiaotao interrupted Li Tiejun, "I've asked about it, labor costs like yours cost two yuan a day."

"I have been busy for three days, and each person has to pay six yuan. A total of eighteen is correct."

After hearing this, Li Tiejun looked at Wang Ruijun, the younger Xu next to him. Hongxing said, "Xiao Tao, that's the salary we charge from outsiders."

"One yuan a day is a lot for our own people."

"Uncle Li, it's hard to tell. , let me just say, one dollar a day. You also spent a lot on food for the past two days.”

"Ten yuan, I still took advantage of it."

Wang Ruijun naturally wouldn't object to Xu Hongxing's words.

The main reason is that there are not many people pulling wires these days, so their external prices are naturally higher.

It has a tendency of not opening for three years and taking three years after opening.

"In this case, plus the 84 yuan from the public, I will round it up, a total of 100 yuan."

"Don't refuse in a hurry. The electricity has been turned on. If you have anything to do with me later, I'll take the trouble to come and see it. I'll just treat it as the hard work paid in advance."

Yang Xiaotao's attitude Determined, and Li Tiejun also knew that this guy could make money and had plenty of money, the hundred yuan shouldn't hurt his muscles and bones, so he agreed.

Then Yang Xiaotao took out the money from his pocket, counted one hundred yuan, and the settlement was completed.

After several people finished eating, Yang Xiaotao gave the leftovers to Zhou Kui and walked home alone.
