Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1007: Both reasonable and rational
When Wang An heard that the village was going to have electricity, he was stunned.

Because if Wang An remembered correctly, in Wang An's previous life, it was not until the next year, that is, in 82, that all the villages started to lay electric wires and have electricity.

Now look what happened, it’s actually ahead of schedule.

Wang An discovered that since his rebirth, perhaps because the fate of many people was forcibly changed by him, the timelines of many things have deviated for no reason and no longer develop along the original trajectory.

Is this what later generations called the "butterfly effect"?
The change of one thing directly involves other things, and the change of multiple things will make many things messed up?
I have to say, this matter is really a bit strange, very strange.

To be honest, this also made Wang An very puzzled. The main reason was that he didn't know whether it was good or bad, right or wrong to change it all this time.

Fortunately, for Wang An, the sooner the electricity is connected, the better, and there is nothing wrong with this change.

Because Wang An had long been fed up with living without electricity.

After Sun Dafu finished speaking, most of the villagers looked very happy.

It is obvious that everyone has high expectations for the electricity supply.

Because there is electricity in the county and the township, most people in the village are familiar with electricity.

And soon, one after another, they began to express their understanding and insights about electricity.

"It's good to have electricity. I've seen electric lights before. They're really bright."

"Yeah, I've also seen it at my uncle's house. He can light up a whole house of kerosene lamps but still can't outshine that thing."

"You are still lighting a kerosene lamp. It is useless even if you light a candle."

"If everyone in our village turns on the lights at that time, won't our village be like daytime?"

Meetings in rural areas have always been like this, even in later times, they would start arguing as soon as they heard it, and each one would be more clear-headed and louder than the other.

It was as if if I didn't say a few words or shout a few times, I would be at a disadvantage.

It's important to say this, but this kind of thing is really speechless.

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited, and their voices were getting louder and louder, Sun Dafu couldn't help but yelled:

"Okay, shut the fuck up, are you guys going to say it or am I going to say it?"

I have to say that the village chief is really effective. After he shouted, everyone immediately quieted down.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Sun Dafu continued:

"The electricity is on, but there are a lot of things we need to know about it, and some things need to be discussed after that."

Then, Sun Dafu continued speaking.

It turned out that although the village was going to have electricity, the higher authorities were only responsible for laying the wires outside every household's yard.

The residents are responsible for purchasing the electrical wires from outside the yard to the house, including the electric meters on the poles.

Of course, since the price of electricity meters is not cheap, the above means that several neighboring households can jointly pay to buy an electricity meter, and then the electricity bill can be shared by these households.

In addition, the villagers are also responsible for digging holes and burying the electric poles from the township to the village.

The purpose of this meeting was to discuss with everyone about laying electric poles and laying electric wires in the village, which required everyone to work. As soon as Sun Dafu finished speaking, the villagers started to discuss it noisily again.

"Then every family should send one person. Electricity is something that everyone needs anyway."

"It's easy as you say, but what if there's no strong laborer at home?"

"Well, everyone needs electricity, so what about those who can't afford to turn on the meter or pull the wires?"

"If you don't have strong labor, everyone can help. If you don't have money, just don't bring electricity to your home."

"It would be easy if everyone thought the same as you. We are just afraid of those petty-minded people competing with each other."

"Zhengjing" is a local dialect, which means to be very particular about every little thing.

After a bunch of people had a lot of nonsense, Sun Dafu interrupted again:
"Come on, everyone, be quiet for a while. I have come up with a plan for the garrison. Let's see if you agree with it."

What Sun Dafu meant was that the village would pay people to do the work, and the workers would be counted for work points just like before the land was distributed to households, and then the accounts would be settled together after the work was completed.

However, there is no money in the village’s account now, so after the construction is completed, if anyone wants land, they can farm the land for a few years according to their work points to pay off the debt. If anyone wants money, they can wait for the village to contract out the land and then settle the account with money.

It was not until then that Wang An found out why there was no news at the beginning of the spring when they said they would contract out 1 acres of barren hills and 1 acres of wasteland, but later on there was no news.

After all this fuss, Sun Dafu wanted to contract out these lands little by little. In this way, when the village runs out of money, he can contract out some land.

It's true that Sun Dafu is much better as the village chief than Niu Yiqun before. You should know that in Wang An's previous life, Niu Yiqun sold all the land in the village early, but the villagers didn't get any benefits.

After Sun Dafu finished speaking, he won the approval of almost everyone.

After all, although those barren mountains and wastelands nominally belong to the collective, in the eyes of the villagers, they have little to do with individuals.

The villagers have no say on who to contract the land to and who not to contract the land to. Moreover, not even a penny of the money earned by the village after the contract is signed will go into the hands of the villagers.

Therefore, contracting out land or using the land to pay off debts is absolutely reasonable and logical in the eyes of the residents.

After obtaining the consent of the villagers, accountant Li Youcai began to count the names of those who went to work and the families who agreed to install electricity meters.

For work like this, the pay is only 50 or 60 cents at most. Of course, even if the pay was more, Wang An would not sign up for it.

As for installing the electricity meter, it is impossible for Wang An to share the same meter with other families.

Just like that, after Wang An reported the fact that his family had purchased an electricity meter, he strolled home to continue tinkering with the medicinal wine.

Ever since drinking the Three-Whick Wine and Deer Blood Wine, Wang An's world seemed to have opened a door, allowing Wang An to clearly realize that these medicinal wines were like ammunition depots.

As long as he drinks regularly, Wang An will always have a full magazine.

Shen Wei, Fang Xiu'e, Sun Nian, including Wang An's wife Mu Xueqing, isn't it easy to deal with them?

Therefore, Wang An wants to keep up the habit of making medicinal wine.

It must be said that the Wang An family now has a variety of medicinal liquors.

The most precious ones here are the three-whip wine and tiger bone wine, mainly because one of them contains tiger whip and the other one contains tiger bone, both of which are related to tigers and are not easy to get.
