The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 195: Buy wool to make a sweater
Cheng Jia's family was very lively today. An electrician came to the house and has been busy powering on Cheng Jia's family.Everyone who should go to the commune went to the commune. The women at home were watching in the yard, imagining what it would be like after turning on the lights, with joyful smiles on their lips.

The children were running around in the yard, very happy.In fact, they don't know why they are happy. They just think that the electric light is a new thing, and the adults say that the house will be brighter in the future.

"You have to turn on the light! You have to turn on the light! From now on, the house will be bright!" Dabao was like a monkey, jumping up and down happily and running around.

Niu Niu was also smiling happily, but she couldn't speak, she could only grin.

The electrician has been busy for a long time, pulling up the wires in every room of the house, then connecting the wires of the lights, and finally turning on the light bulbs.By the time they finished the last process, all the laborers who had married had already rushed back, and the sky was gradually getting darker.

Although the sky outside was not completely dark yet, it was already very dark.The electrician turned on the light bulb in Cheng's mother's room, and the room suddenly became bright.

The electrician clapped his hands and said to Cheng's mother: "This 25-watt light bulb is really bright enough. In our village, apart from the village chief and his family, you are the first family to turn on the light!"

Cheng's mother smiled from ear to ear: "I'd better make a good daughter-in-law."

"You are lucky!" the electrician said, "I will try another room."

When the lights in all the rooms were turned on, the entire yard of Chengjia became bright.Although it is only 25 watts, for those who have been using kerosene lamps, this is already a dazzling light.

Everyone stood in the yard, admiring the brightly lit scene, and their hearts were already filled with joy.I ran back to my room excitedly, stood under the light bulb and felt the light I had never experienced before.

Especially the second sister-in-law, from the moment the light bulb was turned on, the smile on her lips never disappeared.Now she was holding the piece of sweater she had knitted and sitting under the electric light to find a suitable angle so that the light would not cast a shadow.In fact, she was just showing off. Once she experienced it, she felt overjoyed.

After sending the electrician away, Bai Meixi and her sister-in-law came to Cheng's mother. Cheng's mother kept grinning and looked at the electric light unobtrusively: "Now it's better, the house is brighter."

Bai Meixi responded with a smile: "Yes! It's bright. Mom, don't keep looking at the light, or you may dazzle your eyes."

Cheng's mother laughed heartily, feeling uncontrollably happy.

The second sister-in-law also ran over excitedly, took Bai Meixi's hand, and smiled from ear to ear: "I just went to the house and tried it. It was really bright when I was wearing a sweater. I could see clearly whatever I was doing." of."

Bai Meixi looked at the excited look on her second sister-in-law's face, smiled and nodded, and responded: "From now on, it will be convenient for us to do anything even at night. It costs more than 100 yuan to make it convenient for such a big family." , it’s quite worth it.”

When Cheng's mother mentioned money, she felt very distressed. She sighed slightly and said, "Convenience is convenient, but I feel bad for spending this money."

Cheng's mother put a hand on her chest, frowned, and curled her mouth, like a child who had lost a beloved toy.

Bai Meixi took a pair of half-filled shoe soles and put them in Cheng's mother's hand. She coaxed her, "Mom, how about you try this light?" Cheng's mother looked at the soles in her hand and said, " No need to try, it’s on!”

"If you spend money, you can make more money, but if your eyes are damaged, the gains outweigh the losses. On the one hand, you have to spend money on medical treatment, and on the other hand, it is inconvenient to see clearly, right?" Bai Meixi repeatedly reassured her mother. After all, she has always been frugal. It is understandable that people who are accustomed to saving will feel distressed when they spend so much money all at once.

When Cheng's mother heard what Bai Meixi said, she immediately became happy and said with a smile: "That's true. It will be more convenient to store the soles of shoes in the future."

"Then it's better if I wear a sweater!" Second sister-in-law agreed from the side.

Seeing how happy everyone is, my sister-in-law is also very happy.She was an incompetent person, unable to do anything except cooking. She thought to herself that maybe she didn't need electric lights at night, and she really didn't know what she could do.

On the first night when the lights were turned on, everyone was reluctant to turn off the light bulbs, and the lights in every room stayed on for a long time.It wasn't until the family sat around the table to eat that they each turned off the lights in their respective rooms.My sister-in-law is also very excited today. She no longer has to lean over her notebook and read hard when she has been busy doing homework.

During the meal, the lights in the room were also bright. It was the first time for everyone to have dinner in such a bright environment.In the past, I basically finished my meal while it was still dark, or I would light a kerosene lamp when it got dark. Some people sat at the dining table with backlight, which made it uncomfortable to eat.

Not to mention how enjoyable this meal was today!The whole family is very happy, and I feel even happier than during the Chinese New Year!

Bai Meixi had learned to knit sweaters from her second sister-in-law for a few days before. Although she didn't know the complicated patterns yet, she could still knit a simple flat-knit sweater.She thought to herself that now that the lights were turned off, she could knit a sweater when she had nothing to do at night and send it to Cheng Haiyi.

But now she is short of wool, and she still has some private money in her hand. She will take time to go to the county town tomorrow to buy some wool, and after finishing everything in the space at night, she can sit under the electric light and knit.

As I thought about it, a warmth surged into my heart.Since they separated from Cheng Haiyi for more than a month, they only exchanged letters once.The reunion is short, the separation is long, and the feeling of longing overflows the chest.

Bai Meixi only thinks about what she can do for Cheng Haiyi!In addition to supporting the family, she also wanted to have some personal items for Cheng Haiyi to carry with him.Why tie your hair in a lovesick knot?It's a bit too pretentious, but knitting a sweater is more practical.It looks good when it's cold, keeps you warm, and makes you look energetic.

Lying on the bed, the light bulb on the roof was still on, Bai Meixi looked at the only wedding photo of this era, Cheng Haiyi smiled brightly and warmly.The corners of Bai Meixi's mouth were filled with a happy smile.

What she had never experienced before, now she truly felt that happiness was so simple.As long as two people love each other, even if they can't stay together forever, as long as they have each other in their hearts and miss each other in their hearts, that is a very happy thing.

The corners of Bai Meixi's mouth gradually widened, and she couldn't help laughing when she looked at Cheng Haiyi's photo.She reached out and pulled up the light cord beside the bed, and said softly "good night" to Cheng Haiyi's photo.

When the light cord was pulled, the room suddenly fell into darkness...
