Chapter 28 Electrification

In Xiao Hong's view, there are so many ways to make money now, and you can make a fortune even by setting up a street stall.

It is a pity that many people were shocked by what happened more than ten years ago. They have a "thief heart" but dare not have the "thief courage".

And in the eyes of most people, the most important thing in a person's life is face, and small traders are an existence that people look down upon.

The small traders who have made money are also deeply afraid of any policies and dare not be too public about them.

Therefore, many people don't know how much money today's small traders can make.

By the time everyone knows about it, and by the time they are envious when they see others enjoying the success, even if they want to follow the trend, the market is almost saturated, and the market is almost completely divided.

Therefore, she doesn't want to do this business for a long time now.

The main reason is that the slaughterhouse is in the city and is too far away from them.

Even though there are about 20 small villages under the jurisdiction of Houzhai Town, with more than 10,000 people, there are only two meat stalls in the town, with a maximum of four pigs per day.

Most of these pigs are raised by farmers, and a small number of them are fed by the butchers themselves, just to make up the numbers when the farmers have no pigs to kill.

Of course, butchers also have their own channels to buy large pigs ready for slaughter.

It's a pity that people's purchasing power is not enough now.

Especially now that the weather is hot, they kill up to two pigs a day.

Therefore, when Xiao Hong went to Dingzhu to enter the water, it went smoothly.

Pay them a deposit of five yuan a day first, and make up for the remaining money when you pick it up.

In the next half month, their business continued smoothly.

Now Xiao Hong doesn't have to go to town every day. She and her mother or Xiao Fang take turns going there.

Mainly because she found it hard to ride on bumpy roads and uncomfortable around people. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep up with her studies, so she spent all her time at home reading or practicing math.

If you don’t understand anything, just ask Xiao Fang.

However, Wu Julan had never read a book and only knew a few words in literacy classes. Therefore, she was always worried that she would change the wrong money, so she either went with Xiao Fang or asked Yan Yan to accompany her.

In the blink of an eye, the afternoon of August 17th arrived.

Zhao Laosi was very happy when he came back: "We are going to have electricity now. I signed up and I can dig holes in a few days."

It wasn't that he couldn't find work as a bamboo craftsman.

But his father and his third brother are both bamboo craftsmen.

In particular, his third brother has bad legs and needs to take medicine every month. He tries not to compete with his father for business.

Therefore, he usually rides his bicycle to distant villages to solicit business, or simply works as a laborer in the He family orchard.

He Sheng is the richest man in his village and has contracted more than 20 acres of land to plant peach and pear trees.

In spring and summer, trees need to be covered with green manure, weeded, watered before flowering and during the fruiting period, and top dressing applied. In winter, you need help with pruning fruit branches.

He is one of the regular day laborers.

Now it happens that all the fruits on the peach and pear trees have been picked, and all the work to be done has been completed. He was originally planning to go out on his bicycle to get work, but now that the electricity is coming, he will have work to do.

To get electricity, you have to pull out the wires first, and you have to install the poles first.

It's nearly twenty miles from the town to them, and there needs to be a telegraph pole just tens of meters away.

And a telephone pole requires a pit, which requires at least more than ten days of work.

He can make money and have electricity, so of course he is very happy.

"That's good, the lights are bright." Wu Julan was not very excited after hearing this. After all, the electricity was connected, which meant that there was an additional electricity bill.

Yanyan was very excited after hearing this and asked expectantly: "Can our family buy a TV?"

When she went to town these days, she discovered that the black and white TV set in the agency store was playing Journey to the West, which was really good.

"The TV costs several hundred," Wu Julan was of course unwilling. Looking at her little daughter's longing eyes, she gently refused: "Wait a little longer, we will buy it again in a few years."

Yanyan moved her eyes to the eldest sister's face.

In her heart, the eldest sister is the richest and most capable, and her parents usually won't refuse what the eldest sister says.

The Xiao family bought a 14-hour Haiyan brand black and white TV set a few years ago. She used to like watching it, but she doesn't think so now.

What she needs more is a tape recorder that can play English tapes.

So she comforted her sister: "When you go to elementary school and are among the top five in the class for three consecutive years, we will buy it."

Zhao Yanyan is eight years old this year and will be a first-grade primary school student when school starts.

She also discovered that Yanyan was actually quite well-behaved, but she didn't like studying very much.

But it cannot be said that she is not a good child. Whether she is pulling weeds in the fields, doing housework, or even washing pigs, she is very diligent.

Although Xiao Hong herself thinks that even if she is admitted to college, it is better to earn money by doing business than to earn a stable job, but it is always good to learn more knowledge.

And only the knowledge learned is the most valuable wealth.

Yanyan couldn't help but throw herself in front of Xiao Hong, fearing that she would regret it, and said excitedly: "Then let's hang ourselves with hooks. We won't change for a hundred years."

"Okay!" Xiao Hong readily reached out and hooked up with her: "When you go to school, you must listen carefully. If you don't know how, just ask me and your second sister."

After hearing this, Zhao Laosi glanced at Xiao Hong unexpectedly, feeling a little grateful.

He also knew that his own daughter was not yet enlightened in her studies, so Xiao Hong's words were like a carrot in front of Yanyan.

You don’t need to push yourself, Yanyan will study hard.

As long as Yanyan can study hard, he will be willing to pay no matter how expensive it is.

So he said with a smile on his face: "I will put down a few more cages tonight, and we will eat fish and shrimp tomorrow."

Wu Julan thought of buying it three years later, but didn't say anything.

People have a tendency to compare. When electricity comes on, if everyone buys a TV, their family will have to buy it even if they bite the bullet, otherwise they will always feel uncomfortable, as if they are a head shorter than others.

Besides, Xiao Hong also made an agreement with herself that she would keep the money she earned now, and when she starts school, she would start the business by herself.

She now also knows that doing business is really profitable. If the business is good, she can earn enough to buy a TV in a few months.

Especially these days, she is making braised food, and the taste is no worse than what her daughter makes.

Most of the time they are sold out, even if there are not many left.

Just thinking about it made her full of energy.

"Xiao Hong, this spice is going to be gone."

"Then I will go buy spices with you tomorrow, and I will go to the bookstore by the way." After Xiao Hong finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Fang who was lighting the fire: "How about we go together? Choose some question books to do?"

Xiao Fang responded: "Okay."

Early the next morning, the two sisters rode bicycles to the town to sell braised meat.

What they didn't know was that not far away, there were three young men watching them collecting money.

The short, stocky young man said in a vulgar tone: "Brother Lei, am I right? These two girls are good-looking and have a lot of money in their pockets. If we take action, it will be both human and financial."

"That's right." The tall man wearing bell-bottom pants and a three-part hairstyle touched his chin: "You lead the way, and we'll take the guys to find a place to ambush."
