Chapter 286 If you want to get rich, you must first provide electricity and then build roads (please order the full version)
Then he told his family about leaving for Yanjing to report.
But it was no coincidence that I came back during the busy farming season.
Brother-in-law Wang Quanwen is still a private teacher at the village primary school, and he must change relationships before leaving.
Not only brother-in-law, he wants to change.
Even my sister and cousin had to go to the brigade, the commune and then the county to transfer their relationship and household registration with the admission notice that Cheng Xuemin helped get.
The admission notice contains a letter of introduction issued by the university and a proof of residence permit transfer.
It is convenient for prospective college students to go to college. Before going to report, they can get all the relevant household registrations and transfer them to the school together.
In this era, the most direct and easiest way for rural farmers to change their registered permanent residence to non-agricultural status is to enter college.
so!
The whole family discussed it and asked the elder sister to take Qingwa and Cheng Xuemin back to Yanjing first.
Brother-in-law Wang Quanwen took the last step. After completing all the household registration of their relationship, he happened to go to the school to report at the end of the month.
And because my sister was admitted to Yenching University and my brother-in-law was admitted to Yenching Normal University, they are not in the same university, so it is definitely not convenient for the couple to live in school accommodation.
In addition, nephew Qingwa attended the kindergarten here at Yenching University for a semester.
There is no need to change kindergarten at all next semester, just report directly.
So Cheng Xuemin proposed that their family of three live at home, as the two-entry courtyard house in Yanjing was large enough.
Cheng Xuemin also said that he would free up two rooms in the backyard for his sister, brother-in-law and others to live in.
One is used as a bedroom for the three of them to sleep, and the other room is used as a study.
Since they are all college students, a study room must be equipped.
Moreover, Cheng Xuemin also said that after the couple arrives in Yanjing to report, his daughter-in-law Feng Jiayou, as his sister-in-law, will buy a bicycle for each of them to make it easier for them to go to and from school.
"It can't be used, it can't be used!"
"Xuemin, forget about the bicycle!"
"It's enough trouble for you two to live at home, but you bought such an expensive bicycle that we can't use!"
Brother-in-law Wang Quanwen doesn't have anything to do with his brother-in-law's arrangements.
But the mood is complicated!
In the past, when my brother-in-law was still doing nothing, he was the brother-in-law who always wiped his butt.
But who would have thought!
People say that women undergo major changes, but my brother-in-law has also changed so much.
It seemed like I suddenly had an enlightenment.
They are all reform pioneers, distinguished lecturers and professors at Yenching University.
The level of treatment has even reached level seventeen.
A private teacher like my brother-in-law Wang Quanwen in a small village, no matter what the level, is simply not good enough to be a private teacher.
Even if he and his sister were admitted to college, they would only receive grade 23 treatment after graduation.
Based on this calculation, there is a big gap between him and his brother-in-law.
In addition, she came back from Yanjing during this period. How powerful her brother is, how outstanding and arrogant he is, he is like a literary star from the sky.
After hearing this, brother-in-law Wang Quanwen had to admit that his brother-in-law indeed surpassed him by a lot.
From now on, my brother-in-law will basically have the final say in the family.
It’s okay to live at home!
It just so happened that the three of them could be together as a family without having to separate anymore.
Therefore, it was already a huge favor for my brother-in-law to arrange a place to stay, so why did he also need to provide two cars for them so that they could go to and from school more easily?
This is not okay, this is not okay!
Wang Quanwen heard that Yanjing Normal University is not very far from home, and it only takes less than an hour to walk.
Not to mention myself, I heard that Yenching University is right across from their house, and they can walk from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, not to mention the need for a bicycle.
Normally I can walk to and from school, so how can I ask my brother-in-law and sister-in-law to spend more money to buy them bicycles?
"Yes, Xuemin, forget about the bicycle!"
"We don't even have two steps to go to school!"
My sister Cheng Wenxiu also waved her hands repeatedly. The class place was opposite their house, so there was no need for a bicycle.
"Then wait until we get to Yanjing!"
Cheng Xuemin didn't say anything more on this topic. He just nodded and said, "Sister, you usually go to class. If you hear the preparation bell ringing at the school and run over, it might be too late!"
"But my brother-in-law will definitely buy one!"
"Besides, I have to use it to transport Qing's baby to kindergarten."
One is definitely needed!
One bicycle for a family of three is basically standard equipment in Yanjing City.
Of course, the old Feng family is not ordinary people in Yanjing City. Almost everyone in the family has a bicycle.
Usually when I come back from get off work, there are six or seven bicycles parked in the yard.
This was despite Cheng Xuemin not buying one and always sharing one with his wife, Feng Jiayou.
"Xiaolian should live in the school, right?"
After talking about her sister and brother-in-law, Cheng's mother Qin Guilan talked about her niece.
"That's right! The school has dormitory arrangements, and she said she lives on campus!"
"I'll ask my uncle about him later!"
“It doesn’t matter whether you live at home or at school!”
Cheng Xuemin didn't care, but cousin Qin Xiaolian went to play with Feng Jiamo and Zhu Shan.
It was agreed that they would go to Yenching University together, live in the school together, and be free from the discipline of her parents.
Cousin Qin Xiaolian is also afraid of being disciplined by her cousin Cheng Xuemin, and is afraid that Cheng Xuemin will sue her aunt and uncle at home, so she obviously doesn't know how to live at home.
Cheng Xuemin and Feng Jiayou did not consider arranging her to live at home.
"Then Xuemin, how many days do you plan to stay when you come back this time?" Qin Guilan didn't say much after hearing what her son said.
I have already helped Xiaolian get into college, and I won’t let her live in her home in the future. If conflicts arise over time, I will become enemies instead.
I'm actually concerned about my son. How many days can he stay at home when he comes back this time?
During the last Chinese New Year, I didn't stay for a few days before I hurried back to Yanjing.
"Mom, I haven't finished filming the movie yet, and I have to go back to Yanjing to reshoot a few scenes, so the director only gave me a week's leave!"
"I can only stay at home for three or four days!"
Cheng Xuemin estimated that he could only stay at home for three or four days, so he had to leave quickly. After all, he still had three or four days on the road.
"Three or four days!?"
"That works!"
"I'll do more with you these two days. When I go back, I'll go with Wenxiu!"
Cheng's mother, Qin Guilan, also made an assessment and told her son Cheng Xuemin about her inner plan.
"Well, you asked your mother to go there!"
"Xiao Song is already one month old, and we haven't even gone over to take a look!"
"It's just in time for you to come and pick her up. Let's pick your mother up and live there for a while so that she can help take care of your wife and Xiaosong!"
Father Cheng saw that his family suddenly mentioned this matter, so he explained it to his son Cheng Xuemin.
Originally, I was hoping that when my son would come back this time, he could bring his daughter-in-law and grandson back with him. However, because the weather was too hot, the grandson was indeed still young and it was not suitable for a long journey.
But the eagerness to see the grandson will not subside without the grandson coming.
Since the eldest grandson couldn't pass, they went directly to take a look, as they should have done.
Originally, the mother-in-law, Qin Guilan, had to go over and take care of her daughter-in-law when she had a baby and was in confinement.
But because it is too far away, it is inconvenient.
In addition, after the busy farming season is over, the team will be busy again, and they have to wait for the autumn harvest in October.
Therefore, Cheng's father and Cheng's mother made a plan and asked Cheng's mother to help take care of the baby, and more importantly, to look after the grandson.
"This is good, this is good!"
"How about Dad, why don't you just go over with Mom and stay for a while?" "Wait until the autumn harvest is around, and then I'll take you back?"
Of course Cheng Xuemin would be happy to hear this. If his parents could live there for a while, his wife Feng Jiayou would be very happy.
"Uh, don't you need to be the captain?"
"You don't have to worry about the team's affairs anymore?"
Of course Father Cheng also wants to visit his grandson, but he is the captain of the Chengjiawan brigade. It is also the busy farming season, so how can he go away?
Cheng Xuemin doesn't dare to say it, so don't take it for granted.
The family talked very late, mainly talking about Cheng Xuemin's visit to the south to perform condolences in the first half of the year.
When my sister Cheng Wenxiu came back, she told her family. After hearing this, Cheng's father and Cheng's mother turned pale with fear.
Now when I hear him talk about things in the south, I still feel scared.
It's too late!
Cheng Xuemin did not live in the new cave dwelling, nor in his previous cave dwelling. Instead, he took Qing and his two children on the roof of the small bungalow outside the cave dwelling and slept on it in the open air for the night.
Summer in rural areas is basically like this. Those with small flat floors at home usually sleep on the roof. The night breeze blows in the open air, which is quite cool!
It’s just a bit expensive!
There are so many mosquitoes!
It was impossible to prevent them at all. Fortunately, I lit a wheat straw cigarette nearby, which actually had a little effect in repelling mosquitoes.
After lighting up his cigarettes in the middle of the night, Cheng Xuemin couldn't bear it any more, so he could only hold Qingwa back to the house to sleep.
Fortunately, the weather in the second half of the night was no longer so muggy, so I could get over it just by fanning myself.
Buy an electric fan?
Cheng Xuemin has this idea, but not to mention that his county supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have it, nor even the region.
Maybe there should be one in the provincial capital.
Because this year, the provincial capital Xi'an also opened its first Friendship Store, which sells the same imported foreign goods as the overseas Chinese stores.
But it’s useless to buy them. Many rural areas in northern Shaanxi now don’t have electricity.
Cheng Xuemin’s Chengjiawan and all the brigades under Guanzhuang Commune, none of the villages have electricity!
Nowadays, every household is basically still in the period of the Republic of China, using kerosene lamps.
So in fact, Cheng Xuemin and his family are very poor in this county!
The electricity was also connected to the commune. On weekdays, commune members had to be dragged to the commune to grind.
There is only one flour grinding machine in the commune, and on weekdays all the teams have to line up to grind flour.
Grinder? !
Cheng Xuemin originally wanted to do something for his village. At first, he planned to donate some money to improve the teaching conditions of the village primary school.
But now, there is a better way!
Early the next morning, almost every household, old and young, went to work!
But not including Cheng Xuemin!
Now that Cheng Xuemin's household registration has been transferred to Yanjing, and all the ticket relationships have been transferred as well, it doesn't matter whether he earns work points in this brigade or not.
No one would ask him to join him in farm work.
Cheng Xuemin didn't realize it either, so he was left to relax.
After all, the sun was so bright, and Cheng Xuemin had never done much farm work. Going to the fields to earn work points was just a job.
"Electrify the village?"
"Xuemin, why do you have this idea?"
At night after a day's work!
When Cheng Xuemin was chatting with the old secretary and the others, he suddenly mentioned the matter of electrifying the village.
The uncle and uncle were quite surprised on the spot, even Father Cheng was the same.
Didn't you talk to this kid before?
Why do you suddenly want to electrify the village?
"Yes, Xuemin, it's not that easy to get electricity, you have to spend money!"
"But how can our team have so much money?"
The uncle also nodded, surprised that his nephew suddenly wanted to provide electricity to the village.
yes!
Who wouldn’t want to electrify the village?
The brigade also sent a note to the commune to apply, but it was still unable to be approved. No one from the county came to do it!
Not only did their brigade fail to get through, but the brigade below the county basically didn't get through, and they all only got through to the commune.
No money!
"Even if the electricity is connected, it can't be used?!"
"Well, I heard that countries that use electricity charge electricity bills. One month's electricity bill is enough for us to light kerosene lamps for several months, right?"
Then the second uncle, the third uncle, several cousins in the family, and some cousins also nodded.
They are all old farmers, and they have been using kerosene lamps all their lives.
For them, it is simply an extremely luxurious thing for the brigade to electrify the village and let everyone use electric lights.
It’s definitely unaffordable!
"Uncle, uncle, dad!"
"Actually, the country now encourages people to use electricity, and electricity bills are actually not that expensive!"
"Normally speaking, the electricity bill for an electric lamp in a month may actually be less expensive than lighting a kerosene lamp!"
Cheng Xuemin proposed to the uncle who was the brigade secretary to electrify the village. In fact, it was Cheng Xuemin who wanted to electrify his own home.
If you have electricity!
When the family comes back to celebrate the New Year this year, they will definitely buy a TV set to liven up the scene.
Without electricity, even if there is a TV, there is no way to play it.
"Uncle, that's what I think!"
"Uncle, please report to the commune and apply. You don't need to reach every household. You just need to pull the wires to our brigade!"
"If it doesn't work, I'll give my dad some money and buy some telephone poles and wires in the name of the brigade!"
"We pull the electricity ourselves!"
Cheng Xuemin had indeed thought about it. If the commune or the county didn't help, he would pay for it from his own pocket.
Ask him, in the name of the brigade, to go to the county power supply station to buy telephone poles and wires.
At worst, pull it back and pull the line yourself!
From the commune to their brigade, which is only a dozen miles away, there is a wooden telegraph pole every 100 meters, or at most two hundred telegraph poles.
How much money can a telephone pole cost?
Even if it costs ten yuan a piece, it's only two thousand yuan. With the addition of wires, it can be done for at most three thousand dollars.
and!
You may not need to actually buy the telephone poles. You can wait for the villagers to take a break from farming and go to the mountains to cut them.
In this case, the cost can be reduced by at least half!
When the time comes, Cheng Xuemin will directly allocate a thousand yuan to the brigade. Will the uncles and uncles go up the mountain one by one to chop wood and make telegraph poles themselves?
"We will pull the electricity ourselves, Xuemin, you will pay for it yourself?"
"Xuemin, what are you thinking?"
After listening to the words of Cheng Xuemin, his grandnephew, the old secretary couldn't understand what his grandnephew wanted to do!
"Uncle, you already said that I am the pioneer appointed by the higher authorities to open the new world. What can I do??"
"I just want Chengjiawan to take the lead in reforming it!"
"Uncle and uncle, you must have listened to the radio a lot, right? The higher authorities are talking about reform and reform, but you must not be sure what reform is, how to reform, and what to reform, right?"
Cheng Xuemin spoke concisely and concisely. In his current identity, he continued to talk to the uncle and the others, "I just want Chengjiawan to be the first to respond to the call and change it!"
"We don't need to take such big steps. We need to connect the electricity to our brigade first. We don't need to connect it to every household, just connect it to our brigade!"
"As long as our brigade is powered on, the flour mills, oil presses, looms, and candy machines that I will bring to our brigade will be able to operate with electric belts!"
"If our brigade had these machines, we wouldn't have to count the days and wait in line to drag the wheat grain to the commune for grinding!"
"Our corn, soybeans, peanuts and rapeseed don't have to be taken to the commune to be pressed for oil. We can press them right at our doorstep!"
"And it is not only convenient for the villagers in our own brigade, but also the Dayang Brigade and Xiao Yang Brigade next door will drag all the wheat grains, corn, peanuts, etc. to our brigade nearby."
"Uncles and uncles, just count these flour mills and oil pressing plants. We can also arrange for many young people to be workers. Just like the people in the city, they can work as workers without going to the city!"
"Uncle, do you want the electricity to be turned on?"
Who can't draw a pie?
However, Cheng Xuemin didn't take the cake either. Since he wanted to do something for his family, he was also the captain.
Then let Cheng Xuemin, my son, help him improve.
Anyway, it has been changed. It is definitely unrealistic for me to pursue an official career, so let’s just take the first step and lay the foundation for cultivating me to become a generation of farmer entrepreneurs.
…
Asking for a monthly ticket!
