Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 75 The village has just received electricity
The two returned to the thatched cottage, and it was getting dusk.

Luan Xiuwu frowned immediately when he saw his granddaughter carrying big and small bags with Wang Chengzhou and her clothes were covered in dirt.

A little displeased.

He said angrily:
"You brat, you really know how to trick your loved ones!"

"Xiao Hongying has disappeared after eating in the past two days. She brings big bags of grass roots and flower buds to her house. The old man's hut has almost turned into a herbal medicine shop."

"What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into her?"

Wang Chengzhou glanced at the monkey-like senior sister and grinned.

Very sweet in my heart.

I really want to say that I can't let Luan Hongying follow Bai Gan. When I make money, I will give at least half of it to my grandfather and grandson.

However, I haven't even scratched my horoscope yet, so I don't dare to make big claims.

If I can't make any money by then, wouldn't I be letting my senior sister down?

"Humph."

Luan Xiuwu felt helpless when he saw that he just smiled stupidly, and his granddaughter also laughed too, her little face turned into a painted cat.

He snorted coldly, "Look at you two, you're almost turning into a bitch."

"Hurry and wash up."

"Leave these things to me. By the way, let's deal with them like yesterday?"

It really is a knife mouth tofu heart.

Whether it is mother Li Yuzhu or master Luan Xiuwu, they are all full of tsundere attributes.

Wang Chengzhou squatted by the stream and washed his face. Hearing the words, he responded, "Yes, Master."

"But let's fry it with bran today."

"Also, let's try to handle it as standard as possible. Make all the Atractylodes pieces the same size and don't need any leftovers."

Luan Xiuwu glared at him and cursed:

"How do you know I bought bran?"

"Aren't scraps also herbs? Isn't it a waste if they are thrown away?"

"Hey, there's a lot of shit."

While muttering, he knocked the soil off the roots of the atractylodes, knocking off the roots along the way.

Wang Chengzhou was stunned and said in surprise: "Master, there really is bran. Why did you buy bran?"

"What else can I do? Feed the dogs."

Luan Xiuwu whistled.

After returning, the disappeared rhubarb suddenly pricked its ears in the grass, jumped up and down the hillside, and then jumped over.

When he gets close, stick out your tongue and lick his face.

Luan Xiuwu tilted his head, with a look of disgust on his face, ready to strike, and cursed: "Get out of here, you bastard!"

Although he was scolding, his eyes were full of smiles.

Dahuang wasn't afraid of him either. He stuck out his tongue and kept circling around him.

Wang Chengzhou was very happy and complained:
"Master, are you too wasteful?"

"It's not enough to just feed sweet potatoes, but also feed them bran, which no one would want to eat."

"Dahuang, you are so enviable!"

Luan Xiuwu couldn't help but laugh and curse, and glanced at Luan Hongying, "It's not that your senior sister doesn't want to see it suffer."

"A few years ago, I went out to patrol the mountains, and Xiao Hongying was at home alone. She didn't even have a playmate."

"One time when I went out, I picked up a dog and kept it for five or six years."

Luan Hongying's eyebrows arched as she listened to the conversation between the two.

After waving, Da Huang left Luan Xiu Wu and Sa Huan'er ran over.

Let her rub the dog's head.

The dog's face looked like it could smile.

"Your senior sister has no one to accompany her. After having this puppy, she is extremely rare."

Luan Xiuwu sighed, his tone was doting and helpless, "Don't talk about bran, Xiao Hongying has been practicing Xingyiquan since then, and she often goes into the mountains to hunt rabbits for it to eat." Wang Chengzhou was completely speechless.

In those days, there was very little white flour, and naturally less bran.

Most people keep it to make starter, but they don't use it to feed chickens and ducks like in later generations.

Eating meat every now and then is even more unthinkable.

Hearing this, Wang Chengzhou couldn't help feeling envious and jealous of Dahuang, and blurted out, "Senior sister, I also want to be your dog!"

The grandfather and grandson were stunned for a moment.

Luan Xiuwu reacted and cursed with an angry smile, unable to help laughing.

Luan Hongying raised her head with a smile on her face. She felt very ashamed and couldn't help but scoop up a stream of water and splash it over.

The two quarreled for a while.

Finally, before sunset, I finished cooking Atractylodes.

Carrying a cloth bag full of things, heavy, as if carrying hope.

After bidding farewell to Luan Hongying, when I got home, the smell of rice was already filling the village.

After running in the mountains all afternoon, Wang Chengzhou was already hungry and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the yard, they saw a fire burning in the stove.

It was nightfall.

Ordinarily, at this point, mother would have already prepared the meal.

What's even more unusual is that the whole family is sitting in the main room, chattering about something.

"Dad, anyway, I think it's a good thing that the village has electricity!" Wang Aiduo raised his little face, his tone full of excitement, "When the time comes, after work, I can read and write in the evening."

"It's a good thing. If you put a light bulb on at home, it will definitely be a lot brighter. You can do some needlework or something while you're off work." Li Yuzhu was a little tangled and hesitant, "But I heard that the electric It’s not free, you have to pay the electricity bill, which is another expense.”

Wang Honghe took a puff of dry cigarette and was about to express his opinion. When he looked up, he saw his son coming back.

Immediately, he put the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out.

"Brother, the electricity is going to be connected. The village is going to have electricity!"

Seeing Wang Chengzhou, Siya was so excited that she almost jumped up and chirped.

In fact, the rural electrification project began in 74.

However, it was not popularized nationwide until 2000.

Although Pushan Township is located at the foothills of Funiu Mountain, it can be considered as a Central Plains region and has electricity supply relatively early.

However, only the communes had electricity before.

The power grid has not yet been installed in the village, and the light only reaches the brigade courtyard.

This is also the reason why movies are always shown there.

To be honest, Wang Chengzhou was also very excited when he heard the news.

Previously, at night, only oil lamps could be lit at home.

Although, at that time, the power supply was insufficient, and in order to ensure the power consumption of cities and factories, there were frequent power outages in the countryside.

Moreover, even if there is no power outage, during the peak period of electricity consumption, at night, the tungsten wire will become like a firewood stick, not much brighter than an oil lamp.

However, with the light bulb, people can finally see a little dawn of modernization, right?

So, seeing Si Ya jumping up and down, Wang Chengzhou couldn't help but flick her brain, and said with a smile:
"That's a good thing!"

"This can be regarded as a huge improvement in productivity. By night, everyone can work overtime."

"When the farming is busy, I can no longer sleep in."

Si Ya grinned, really happy.

Seeing his son saying this, Wang Honghe finally made a decision, "Okay, we can also install electric wires in our house!"

Wang Chengzhou looked curious and said with a smile: "With such a great thing going towards the four modernizations, there are still people who don't want to have electricity at home?"

"Why not? There are plenty."

Li Yuzhu finally felt at ease and knelt on her knees, "When they heard that it would cost money, many people were reluctant."
