Chapter 2 Payment of Electricity Bills
Zhao Cangqiong discovered that the pickup truck was an engineering construction vehicle of the power company.

A master wearing a yellow hard hat got off the car and said to Zhao Cangqiong, "Are you the son of Lao Zhao?"

Zhao Cangqiong nodded and said, "Yes, you are from the Electric Power Bureau. What's the matter?"

The master said: "Your father should have told you that the town government is responsible for the electricity bill for the first ten years here, and you will be responsible for the electricity bill after ten years. The entire area around where you live belongs to the homestead under your name!"

"No way! My father didn't tell me about this, so you guys are trying to lie to me because I'm a child, right?" Zhao Cangqiong said with a puzzled expression.

The master smiled and said: "We are very familiar with your father, there is no need to lie to you, the main thing is that the town showed us the agreement signed by your father and the town, we were afraid that you would not believe me, so we took photos !"

After finishing speaking, the master handed his mobile phone to Zhao Cangqiong, and let Zhao Cangqiong look at it by himself!
He took the phone and saw two photos, the content was the agreement between the town government and his father, which was the same as what the master said just now.

I looked at the signature and found it was the same as my father’s handwriting in my memory. The date was December 2019, 12, so there was nothing wrong with it.

After reading it, Zhao Cangqiong returned the phone to the master and said with a smile: "Although I have never heard my father say this, I admit it with this document. Do you want me to pay it up today?"

Seeing that Zhao Cangqiong admitted it straightforwardly, the master said, "Well, let's copy the electric meter first, and then calculate how much we need to pay in total!"

A few people came outside the house, the master took a ladder to the top of the window and looked at the readings of the electric meter, and then came down, afraid that Zhao Cangqiong would not believe it, so he asked Zhao Cangqiong to go up and look at it himself!
After seeing Zhao Cangqiong come down, the master said: "When we reach the full ten years, the degree we checked on the meter is 1560 degrees. I just checked and the total degree is 2080 degrees. Then the degree that needs to be paid for electricity is 520 degrees. The electricity fee is 1 It costs 520 yuan once, and the total is 4 yuan, and now it has been 1 years, which means you only use 130 kilowatt-hours of electricity in [-] year, which is very little!"

Zhao Cangqiong looked at the master and said, "Uncle, you see that I really have no money, can I pay it after a month?"

The master nodded and said, "Okay, let's come again at this time next month! That's it, let's go first, the main thing is to clarify this matter with you!"

"Okay, thank you uncle, go slowly!" Zhao Cangqiong waved goodbye to the master while talking!
Watching the two masters drive away, Zhao Cangqiong just stood there without moving, thinking about what to do next, let alone 520 yuan, even 5 yuan and 2, Zhao Cangqiong couldn't get it out!
After thinking for a while, there was nothing he could do, so Zhao Cangqiong had no choice but to let go of the matter. Just as Uncle Shitou's garbage truck came over, Zhao Cangqiong followed the car and walked into the valley, ready to rummage through the newly transported garbage!
After taking out the trash, Zhao Cangqiong asked, "Uncle Shitou, is today December 2030th, 12?"

"Oh, yes, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Uncle Shishi replied, preparing to turn around.

Zhao Cangqiong thought that he had indeed traveled to the future, and said, "Uncle Shitou, you seem to be a little late today, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, but the town government has renovated a row of offices and helped clean it up in the morning!" Uncle Shishi drove away while talking.

Zhao Cangqiong then got into the rubbish dump, and picked it up bit by bit from the bottom. Anything of value would be picked up and thrown aside, but when half of the garbage was turned over, there would be no big gains. Just a few small cartons, three or five cans!
Zhao Cangqiong couldn't help being a little discouraged. After all, Zhao Cangqiong would not pick up garbage for his life before he crossed. Although picking up garbage is already very proficient and almost instinctive for this body, Zhao Cangqiong's psychological It was a little uncomfortable last time.

After resting for a while, Zhao Cangqiong adjusted his condition. Anyway, there is no other way out at the moment. He can only make a living by picking up garbage. No matter how much others look down on him, no matter how hopeless he is, he must survive first!

He carefully picked up the remaining half and found very little, but Zhao Cangqiong has been able to adapt to it. This is how picking up garbage is. If you expect to pick up a lot of valuable things casually while picking up garbage, that would be strange. !

Put away the valuable things that were picked up. Although they are not of great value, these cartons, paper shells, plastic bottles, cans and so on are still quite heavy!

Zhao Cangqiong estimated that the second truckload of garbage would arrive around noon, so he planned to go home and cook some porridge for lunch before coming back.

Dragging this large bundle of cartons, bottles and cans along the way, Zhao Cangqiong's thin body felt a little heavy, so he had to slow down and drag home step by step. Zhao Cangqiong's physical energy was exhausted by picking up the garbage. Every time he took a step, there were beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, and stains of sweat appeared on his thin clothes, but Zhao Cangqiong gritted his teeth hard and persisted.

After cooking a pot of gruel, Zhao Cangqiong added some salt and drank it happily. If people who don’t know it would think he was drinking some kind of fine wine, sometimes happiness is as simple as that, but when you have a lot of money Afterwards, but often never find that feeling again!
After drinking the porridge and washing the pots and bowls, Zhao Cangqiong rested on a bed made of three planks. Because the food was not nutritious enough, he had to save his energy as much as possible. If you can't finish picking it up very late, it will waste electricity again!

Now Zhao Cangqiong is trying every means to optimize his living conditions, save costs and save energy, so that he can live longer with the most limited resources!

After resting for about four to ten minutes, Zhao Cangqiong got up from the bed and walked to the garbage dump when he heard the sound of garbage trucks coming in.

Then he began to pick up the garbage again, and Zhao Cangqiong found that this car should be the decoration garbage of the town government, and it was basically worthless, the only thing that might be a few broken door frames, which could be used as firewood!
But when tidying up these few door frames, Zhao Cangqiong's left hand was accidentally pierced by a long wooden thorn on the edge of the palm.

Seeing that there were only a few drops of blood oozing out, Zhao Cangqiong didn't pay much attention. He threw the door frame aside, pulled out the wooden thorn on his palm, and then rubbed it against the rock he hit himself twice, and the blood stopped. Living!

Just when he pulled the door frame and walked back a few steps, Zhao Cangqiong suddenly squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands, looking very painful!
