Chapter 166: Sheep's Crutch, Power on, Broadcast
Everyone returned to the village with laughter all the way, and Yun Yingying and the others went back to their homes.
Han Li and Zhang Xiangjun will have to finish here later, and the families with better conditions will have to arrange a banquet to thank those who came to help, but don't count on this now. Everyone will dismantle the spirit shed and the kitchen together, and send back all the borrowed things. This busy work that shocked the whole village is really over.
After Han Li and Zhang Xiaojun helped to clean up here, the two of them walked back slowly.
As soon as Han Li entered the house, he smelled the aroma of cabbage stewed with meat from the pot. He didn't need to look to know that it was a method of sticking pancakes on top and stewing vegetables on the bottom, that is, the vegetables and meat were stewed at the bottom of the pot, and the corn pancakes were stuck to the edge of the pot. In addition to the accent, the biggest impact on this group of educated youth was this one-pot cooking method.
Yun Jingjing came out from the inner room when she heard Han Li coming back, picked up the thermos and said while pouring water.
"Come back and wash your hands and we'll have dinner."
Han Li knew it was his sister-in-law from the voice. Fortunately, he didn't do it directly. However, Yun Yingying used to pick him up in the outer room. Why did she change people this time?
"Where's Yingying?"
"My little sister feels a little uncomfortable. I asked her to sit on the kang for a while."
"Why did she suddenly feel uncomfortable?"
Han Li pushed the door and came to the inner room. Yun Yingying frowned and held the hot water bottle on her stomach.
"Han Li."
"What's this?"
"It's the same as my sister's two days ago, but I didn't feel so much pain. My sister told me to move less these two days."
Han Li was relieved immediately. It turned out that it was her period. At first, he thought something was wrong.
"Your sister is right. You just listen and you'll be fine after this period of time."
Since Yun Yingying couldn't move easily, Han Li helped Yun Jingjing to do housework, moving the kang table, cleaning the dishes, etc. and didn't let her interfere.
After dinner, when Yun Jingjing was about to go back, Han Li took the initiative to persuade Yun Yingying to go home and rest with her sister.
Help? Han Li was not stupid enough to say such a thing at this time.
However, when Han Li saw a flash of embarrassment in Yun Yingying's eyes, he knew that he had taken another big step towards success.
The next day, Han Li was awakened by his biological clock, and he got dressed and went to the yard to practice boxing.
Han Li looked up at the sky. There was not a single star in the night sky, and even the morning star that accompanied him in boxing was nowhere to be seen.
It was unknown whether it would snow again in this weather, and even if it didn't snow, Han Li didn't plan to go out.
There was nothing missing at home, and Han Li planned to accompany Yun Yingying well these days and make his girlfriend happy first.
After practicing boxing, Han Li cleaned himself up, sat on the kang and took out the kneecaps of wild boars and wild goats from the decomposition space.
Han Li planned to make some Galaha for Yun Yingying to play with today. This Galaha was only thought of when he saw someone picking hoof bones when he was helping at the funeral.
Since the snow, they have been playing cards or chess when they get together, so he plans to make some new things for them to change their minds.
Galaha is pronounced in Manchu. In Sijiucheng, it is called Yangguai. It is made of the knee bones of pigs, cows and sheep.
Sheep knee bones are the best. They are about the size of mahjong tiles and are the most convenient to play with.
However, Han Li did not have so many sheep knee bones, so he could only add some pig bones.
Catching Galaha is a popular folk game with the legacy of hunting life among the Han, Manchu, Mongolian and other ethnic groups in the Northeast.
During the game, a sandbag made of cloth is used. When the sandbag is thrown up, the Galaha is flipped or grabbed by hand, and the sandbag must be caught. The number of grabs determines the winner, and the flipping of the bones determines the winner. In short, there are many ways to play. In Sijiucheng, the main ways to play are pit, back, ear, and wheel (real).
After entering winter, catching Galaha is one of the important entertainment activities for many people in indoor activities.
The kneecaps of pigs and sheep quickly became smooth under Han Li's decomposition ability. The next step is to simply burn them with fire and then wash them clean in a basin of water.
Han Li helped them make Galaha. As for sewing a sandbag with cloth, it was nothing for a woman.
When Han Li handed Galaha to Yun Yingying, she immediately shouted in surprise.
"Sheep's crook, I haven't played it for a long time."
"Not bad, I stayed up late to make it for you yesterday. You can play with it after sewing a sandbag."
"Han Li, you are so nice."
"Is there only verbal thanks, but no real action?"
Yun Yingying saw that her sister was not in the room, and quickly stood up and kissed Han Li on the face. Before Han Li reached out, she sat back.
"What should I do if I feel a little unsatisfied?"
Yun Yingying pointed to the ground outside the room, indicating that her sister was cooking there and could come in at any time.
Han Li smiled and stopped teasing her. Yun Yingying said as she took out the needle and thread from the kang cabinet and started to sew the sandbag.
"Hey, Han Li, go find me some small stones. I want to put them in the sandbag."
"What small stones? It would hurt if I bumped into them. I'll go home and get some corn to put in."
Not long after dinner, Han Li and the Yun sisters were playing the game of catching the sheep's crook. Wu Lili found this place first, followed by Hao Hongmin and the others.
Yang Xiuying: "What are you playing with?"
After Yun Yingying explained the rules, these girls directly pushed Han Li away from the kang table.
Han Li achieved his goal and smiled as he returned home to study. The barefoot doctor thing must not be missed.
Two days passed like this, and the village had officially started to have electricity. The villagers who had nothing to do at home all ran to watch.
The first to be connected was the village committee. When Village Chief Zhao turned on the light, everyone cheered.
The next step was to connect the villagers' homes. Electricians are really a popular profession. He only needs to hold pliers to connect the wires. The rest of the wiring and moving the ladders are all done by the villagers. Even so, if he doesn't pass a cigarette to someone's house, he can't work well and he grumbles in his mouth. This is not the end. The village will arrange for them to eat at mealtime.
When night falls, the homes of the villagers who installed electric lights first become lively. Everyone comes to watch as if they are watching a foreign spectacle. The lights are flickering and accompanied by the exclamations of the crowd. If this scene is put in many years, it will definitely become the material of a horror movie.
At night, it is a holy place for adults to visit, and in the daytime, it is a paradise for the group of children. It is not until the light bulbs of a household are pulled out and broken (the names of different places are different), and the children are spanked, that the matter is considered over.
However, after a few days of busy work, except for the Youth House in Shanghe Village, which is still illuminated by lanterns, all other places have turned on the lights.
The whole village seems to be like the New Year, and the atmosphere is full of joy everywhere.
Those who have reached the age of the family are also quickly arranging blind dates, and the lights have naturally become one of the tools for showing off.
The bicycle of Village Chief Zhao and Han Li's watch have been borrowed many times by the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village to act as scenes.
He can understand the bicycle, and riding it out will definitely add a lot of points. But what about the watch? It was okay in the summer, but in such a cold weather, do you have to roll up your sleeves to show it to others?
Han Li was happy when he thought of this scene, but he would not refuse anyone who wanted to borrow his watch. This thing would not break after wearing it for a while, and the villagers cherished it very much and would not let you break it.
On the third day after Shanghe Village was fully electrified, the radio telephone was officially moved here.
This situation naturally attracted everyone's attention, and even Han Li was dragged by Yun Yingying to watch the fun.
"Hello, hello, hello."
The voice of Village Chief Zhao came from the loudspeaker on the roof, and the scene cheered again.
"Dear members, please note that our village has finally been connected to the radio. From now on, we can listen to the news from all over the country in time. According to the arrangement of the superiors, the broadcast will start at 6:20 am every day and end at 7:15 pm, and start at 6:30 pm and end at 8:30 pm. First, the county's daily scheduled broadcast will be broadcast, and then the People's Radio Station news and the summary of important newspapers will be broadcast. In the future, we can understand the major events of the country without leaving home. Are you happy?"
"Happy..."
"I am so happy."
The voices of the villagers immediately suppressed the sound of the loudspeaker. Village Chief Zhao called several times in a row to quiet the scene.
"Everyone should listen to the radio carefully in the future. If there is any major news, the village branch will call everyone to listen in advance."
At this time, some villagers shouted: "Where is the phone? Can we call outside?"
In fact, at this time, the village phone and the radio share the same line. You can't make calls while listening to the radio.
And the phones are all hand-cranked, and the line is controlled by a knife switch. Usually, the switch is turned up to receive calls at any time.
However, the communication capability of this phone is one-way. You can only listen to what is said on the phone. You can't communicate with the person on the other end of the phone, let alone make a call. And once it's time to listen to the radio, this switch must be turned off, and the outside phone can't call in.
"This phone can't be used for the time being, but it will definitely be possible in the near future."
The villagers were somewhat disappointed when they heard what Village Chief Zhao said, but everyone's mood adjusted quickly, saying that now they can hear the radio, so how far is the day to make a phone call? As long as the village keeps being advanced, the first to be able to make a phone call must be their Shanghe Village.
Just as everyone was about to disperse, Village Chief Zhao's voice came out of the loudspeaker again.
"The following is an important announcement. Considering the large population of our Shanghe Village, the superiors decided to set up a health station in Shanghe Village and recruit one health worker after another. Anyone with a junior high school education can go to the commune to take the exam."
