After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen was preparing to go out into the mountains, but before he could pack his things, Wu Dagang came to the door.
"Xiao Zhou, the people who pull the wires from the village will come to the house today. You should keep an eye on this, lest there be no one at home by then."
"Uncle Wu, when will they come? Huh?" Zhou Ziwen looked happy and asked hurriedly.
After waiting for so many days, it was finally their turn.
"I'll come here in the morning. There are still a few households in the village whose wires have not been pulled out. Come over as soon as they are finished." Wu Dagang said.
"Okay, then I'll wait at home." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Since the man pulling the wire is coming, he is not in a hurry to go out.
Before the staff arrived, Zhou Ziwen took an ax and led Tayun towards the bamboo forest outside the village.
He was going to cut some more bamboo and arrange a recliner for the Chen sisters.
He enjoyed it himself, but he couldn't favor one over the other and forget about the two sisters.
Of course, he also wanted to see if there were any bamboo rats in the bamboo forest. It would be better if Tayun discovered one more.
Since Tayun's performance is getting better and better, Zhou Ziwen will take it with him when he goes out, not for anything else but to give Tayun more opportunities to perform.
The bamboo forest was originally next to the village, and the distance was not far. In about ten minutes, Zhou Ziwen arrived at his destination.
"Tayun, it's your turn to show off." Zhou Ziwen rubbed Tayun's dog's head and gave it an instruction.
“Woof woof.”
Tayun barked twice obediently, as if to cheer himself up, and the whole dog became more motivated.
Watching it sniffing in the east and west of the bamboo forest, Zhou Ziwen nodded with satisfaction.
After this period of training, this dog has become more and more useful.
After Tayun started working, Zhou Ziwen was not idle.
He found a few old bamboos that were tall and straight in the bamboo forest, and chopped them down in a few strokes.
When he finished tying the bamboos, Tayun was still wandering around.
“Let’s go, step on the clouds.”
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen did not delay.
The reason why I brought Tayun with me was to try my luck. If I could meet a bamboo rat, it would be just right. If I didn’t, it wouldn’t matter.
Although Tayun's nose is clever, it has to be found. If there is none around, it will be useless no matter how hard you look for it.
This place is too close to the village. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to find bamboo rats.
“Woof woof.”
Tayun stood there, looking at him pitifully, not wanting to leave.
It is a useful dog who must contribute to the family.
"Okay, I'll take you into the mountains in the afternoon. There will be plenty of opportunities to show off." Zhou Ziwen waved to it.
"Woo!"
Tayun whined twice and ran towards Zhou Ziwen with his tail between his legs. Looking at the way he tugged his ears and held his tail behind his butt, you knew that this guy was a bit Frustrated.
“Hey, you guy, you are quite strong!” Zhou Ziwen bent down and rubbed the dog’s head hard twice.
Under Zhou Ziwen's comfort, Tayun regained his fighting spirit.
Following Zhou Ziwen, jumping left and right, very happy, how could he be as depressed as before?
"Isn't this guy playing me?" Zhou Ziwen looked at the little guy circling around him with some suspicion.
When he got home, the staff pulling the wires hadn't come yet. He had seen it on the way back. There were only two staff pulling the wires, and they were pulling the wires for Aunt Li's house.
Zhou Ziwen pulled the bamboo back to the yard and started making deck chairs. With the experience of the last production, Zhou Ziwen felt comfortable when he produced again.
Of course, this is also because the process of making a recliner is very simple, even a beginner with first-level skills can do it.
While Zhou Ziwen was busy making a recliner, the Chen sisters next door were also busy.
Yesterday, they were busy making potato starch all afternoon. If they have time today, they just fry some potato chips to eat.
This is because Zhou Ziwen got some camellia oil, otherwise they would really be reluctant to waste it.
I have to say that the fried potato chips taste really delicious.
The Chen sisters were doing it next door, and Zhou Ziwen could smell the fragrance in the yard.
"Brother Ziwen, come and try it. These potato chips are delicious."
After a while, Chen Qiaoyi trotted over with a bowl in hand.
"Really? Let me give it a try." Zhou Ziwen also cooperated very well. He didn't have time to let go of the tool in his hand. He just opened his mouth and waited for the girl to feed him.
Chen Qiaoyi didn't think much, picked up a piece of potato and fed it to Zhou Ziwen's mouth, then looked at him expectantly.
"Well, it tastes good. It would be better if you could sprinkle some chili powder and Sichuan pepper powder." Zhou Ziwen praised it and then said.
"Hehe, I knew it." Chen Qiaoyi showed an expression that was as expected.
After such a long time together, Zhou Ziwen's eating habits have long been figured out by her.
When he eats, he doesn’t like light food, but likes spicy food.
The Chen sisters are from Hangzhou and have a relatively light taste, but in order to match Zhou Ziwen's habits, they are also trying to eat spicy food.
After a while, they can eat anything as long as it is not very spicy.
"Is anyone home? We are here to pull the wires."
At this moment, the staff pulling the wires finally arrived.
"Someone, come in quickly."
Zhou Ziwen put down what he was holding and invited the staff in.
The staff who pulled the wire didn't talk nonsense. They took a look at Zhou Ziwen's room layout, and then asked about the situation. After they knew what was going on, they left.
Then he walked around the yard of the Chen sisters, Shen Zhaodi, and Zhou Chaoyang, and then started to pull the wires.
The yards of Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters are next to each other, so they only need to pull a wire over.
In this way, they work much faster.
Before noon, the power lines of their houses were pulled into the house.
They are not short of money. They only use as many electric lights as there are rooms in the house.
Some villagers only have one electric light in their homes because they are reluctant to bear the electricity bill. When using the electric light, the wires are pulled to whichever house it is used. Although this is a little more troublesome, it saves electricity.
Someone also opened a hole in the wall of two rooms early. When pulling the wires, they lowered the light into the hole so that it can shine into both rooms.
In the countryside, the virtue of frugality has been engraved in the bones of villagers.
The village provided them with wires and lights, but it was not free.
Before, they had to pay at the village level, just for the wires outside. It is said that in addition to the money they paid, the village also subsidized them.
There is an additional charge for the wires that are pulled into the house. The more wires needed, the more expensive the price will be.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen still has a lot of money in his hand, so he can still afford it.
For convenience, he also got an electric light under the eaves outside.
After their wires are pulled up, the village can officially receive electricity. (End of this chapter)
