Damn! I reached the pinnacle of life with the help of the rich system

The sky was just beginning to turn pale, and the roosters were just beginning to crow.

Xu Yan had already dressed and was carrying a briefcase, ready to go out. Today was the time to go to town to buy some electric lights.

However, before leaving, Xu Yan still had to check the road conditions. She still had to figure out how to build the road to the next village. She and Fu Xiang and the others left the village and walked on the road. The narrow dirt road made people sigh at how difficult the road conditions were.

But it also made Xu Yan put road construction on the agenda. She decided to repair the road within half a year. If not, the village's poverty alleviation work would have to wait at least a few more years.

Several people took the keys that Uncle Wang gave them last night. Last night, Uncle Wang heard that they were going to the town to buy electric lights, and he wanted to go with them, but Uncle Wang had something else to do, so he gave the keys to Xu Yan and asked Xu Yan and the others to drive over.

"Are you seated? I'm driving!"

As soon as Xu Yan finished speaking, she drove the tricycle to the town.

The town here is called Shuiyun Town, which sounds nice, but it has nothing to do with these two words. If you insist, it's just that the sky is very beautiful when the weather is good, but it's like this everywhere, there's nothing wrong with it. The town is not small, but there are only five lighting stores in the town.

Xu Yan took people to visit each house one by one, and after comparing a lot, they found that there was still a voice-controlled lamp that was the most cost-effective, with low electricity bills and bright lights. This lamp is to be installed in every household, especially those who do not have electric lights installed at home. This is undoubtedly the most needed.

As for the street lights...several people were walking on the road, discussing:

"How about buying solar street lights? They are bright and cost-effective. Although they are expensive, it is still worth buying four or five."

"Solar street lights? I see."

Xu Yan thought for a while and said:

"First, let's see which store can get the cheapest price for these light bulbs. Then I'll ask other people for advice."

In Xu Yan's mind, she equated solar street lights with solar energy and highlighted them.

In fact, Xu Yan did not ask the system, but the system did not seem to make any comments on these, and only left one sentence to Xu Yan: Please solve it by yourself!

After finding one that offered the cheapest price, Xu Yan and her friends agreed with the merchant that they would sort the goods tomorrow and they could just come and pick them up then.

Xu Yan and the others paid the money as soon as they heard it, and drove back after they agreed.

Xu Yan returned to the office and consulted colleagues who had gone to poor villages or worked in the city with her at the same time. Several of them gave a clear answer: under the same conditions, solar street lights are indeed good.

Xu Yan received the reply and told everyone in the group the final answer, which was to buy solar-powered street lights.

The person who first proposed the solar street light took over the task of buying street lights. Xu Yan stretched her muscles and now the task of buying street lights has come to an end.

However, as to where to place the street lights, this still needs to be discussed in a meeting.

There are places in the village where villagers often stay, for example, the pond that has just been renovated. Since the renovation, the wall of the pond has been made into a place where people can sit.

The pond is now one of the gathering places for villagers to chat after dinner.

Especially at night, the elderly like to go out for a walk and sit down by the pond to chat. However, there are only dim street lights on the other side of the pond, which is inconvenient.

Xu Yan took out the village map she had made earlier and drew a circle around the pond. A lamp must be placed here.

She marked the places where she wanted to place the lights in the village, and she would show them to everyone at the meeting. It was not Xu Yan's decision alone, but she also had to listen to other people's opinions, especially the villagers'.

Xu Yan worked for a while and then fell asleep, as she had to go to the town to get the light bulb the next day.

......

"Hey! Secretary Xu's light is on!"

An old man speaking not-so-standard Mandarin followed Xu Yan and the others and spoke.

The old man's name is Li Erzhong, and he is 82 years old this year, which is one of the oldest people in Bai Village. His wife has diabetes, and he and his wife are the only two people in the family, so when Xu Yan came to visit and investigate, this place was also one of the poor households in the village.

Considering the situation of the two elderly people, Xu Yan gave them almost any benefits. Grandpa Li's family were all farmers. The children were all outside and had no time to go home because they were busy. Grandpa Li's family only had a small mobile phone from decades ago. It was not used normally, saying that it did not need to be charged and could save electricity.

Every month, Xu Yan allocates a portion of her salary to the elderly people living alone in the village who are too old to do any labor.

Whenever Xu Yan had time, she would bring people from the organization to visit the relevant families, chop firewood, and clean the houses inside and out.

After getting the light bulbs today, Xu Yan immediately started installing them from the place where they were most needed, and this was their first stop.

They installed one at the entrance and one at the door leading into the house. Not only does this voice-controlled light turn on, it can also be easily turned on by sound.

When Xu Yan and her friends bought this, they took these factors into consideration. They hoped that the elderly could light up the bulb by making a sound. Moreover, this kind of bulb would require less electricity.

"Grandpa, look at this light bulb. Is it still quite bright?"

"It lights up! And it lights up easily."

Li Erzhong speaks poor Mandarin. In fact, old people of his age prefer to speak the dialect of their own village. At least when Xu Yan came for the first time, she heard them speaking in dialect, but Xu Yan couldn't understand it.

Later, Xu Yan also began to learn the dialect, because she knew that if she wanted to integrate into a group, she had to learn something from them and make them think that she was on the same path as them, so that they could quickly accept her.

Perhaps Xu Yan's behavior was recognized, and some villagers who did not speak Mandarin also began to learn Mandarin. The reasons they gave were:

Let you young kids communicate more easily.

Xu Yan told about Mr. Li and fired his wife. Mr. Li's wife's surname was Kong. She looked a little haggard due to her illness, but fortunately she can walk now, but she used to spend most of her time in bed.

In fact, after Xu Yan came here, she discovered that there were still many elderly people in the village who had difficulty walking and leggings, not to mention those who were sick like Grandma Kong.

Xu Yan simply used the money given by the government to buy crutches for all the elderly people and wheelchairs for those who could not walk for a long time.

It can be said that all the elderly people in the village are grateful to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan led people to visit every household, and once they sat down, they would chat about family matters.
