"All villagers, please pay attention. All villagers, please pay attention. All villagers, please pay attention!"

The first time Pei Guoxiang used the loudspeaker, he was a little excited, but his voice still sounded very steady, a steadyness that was not in line with his age.

After all, he had grown up listening to his old man shouting, so shouting on a loudspeaker was more familiar to him than guarding the telephone.

The villagers' eyes all fell on the tall electric pole, where a new loudspeaker was installed, which was louder than the original big one.

You know what, this sound is much clearer than the old loudspeaker that the village chief used to make announcements.

"Just now, the provincial government called and said that Sister Mo Yan and Niu Niu haven't arrived in the provincial capital yet. The provincial capital called and asked us if Sister Mo Yan and Niu Niu have returned to the village first. I answered that Sister Mo Yan and Niu Niu haven't returned to our village yet. The provincial government said that no matter which side of us sees Sister Mo Yan and Niu Niu first, we should call each other as soon as possible."

"The above is all the information about the first call from our Peijia Village. The report is complete. The reporter is Pei Guoxiang."

Then the sound of the loud speaker turned off again.

The villagers became lively again.

"Oh, Guoxiang is a good kid. He speaks clearly and logically, and he conveys the content of the call clearly. It's really right to let this kid be the phone keeper."

"That's right! Oh, we received a call from the provincial capital so soon. Our village is now a village with a telephone. I feel proud to tell others about it."

"Our village not only has telephones, but also electricity now. In the future, every household can install electric lights in their new houses. I heard that with that thing, once you pull the cord, the whole house will be bright."

"Electricity is not cheap either, one kilowatt-hour costs 1.2 cents!"

Some people are reluctant to spend that little bit of electricity.

The person next to him pushed him and said, "Are you stupid? Electric lights are only used at night. We don't have to pay for them during the day. If you don't want to spend the electricity bill, why don't you just turn on fewer lights? The key is that our village will have electricity in the future. Do you understand?"

"How could I not understand this? I'm just used to being frugal and didn't have time to correct myself. Don't worry, I'll work hard in the future and our village won't be poor. The children are all in school now and every household doesn't have to worry about having food to eat. Compared to the past, we can't even imagine the days we have now. I won't bear to hold our village back. I will work harder and not bring shame to our Peijia Village, let alone make Niuniu's mother feel embarrassed."

"That's what a real man would say. Let's all work hard."

When people talk about the future, all they can see in their words is hope and optimism.

Everyone's face was filled with a smile of relaxation and anticipation.

Pei Mingzhi and Pei Guohua did not join in the heated discussion.

Instead, Pei Mingzhi pulled his eldest son and said, "Let's go to the village entrance and take a look."

"Dad, what are you looking at?"

Pei Guohua hadn't reacted yet. Why did he suddenly go to the village entrance?

"Stupid! Didn't the second kid say that? There was a call from the provincial capital, asking if Ayan and Niuniu had returned to the village first, which means that they haven't gone to the provincial capital yet!"

"Dad, I know. If my sister-in-law and Niuniu go to the provincial capital, they can't spend money to call our village. I heard that the phone bill is very expensive, several cents per minute!"

Pei Guohua nodded without thinking, and looked a little reluctant as the call fee was so expensive.

Pei Mingzhi wanted to slap him on the head, but his eldest son was too tall. No matter how he raised his hand, he couldn't hit the back of his son's head. At most, he could only pat him on the back.

"Why don't you understand? Since Ayan and Niuniu said they would come back today, they will definitely come back. It's already this late, and they haven't arrived at the provincial capital yet, which means that Ayan and her daughter may not go to the provincial capital today."

"Since you are not going to the provincial capital, you will definitely return to our village. After all, your home is here. Let's go to the village entrance and wait for a while. In case A Yan and the others come back, you can help move things."

Pei Guohua thought it made sense. "Dad, you are really thoughtful. I didn't think of this. Okay, let's go to the village entrance and wait for a while."

No one else could hear what the father and son said to each other.

But the old yellow cow that was eating fresh green grass in the open space on the side heard it when it was told to wash it clean.

Seeing the father and son secretly going towards the village entrance, the big ox eyes revealed a cunning look. Guessing that after the father and son were out of the crowd's sight, the big yellow ox Ah Huang also followed them secretly.

So, within two minutes of Pei Mingzhi and Pei Guohua arriving at the entrance of the village, they heard a slight "de-de-de-de-de" sound. They turned around and saw, "Ah Huang, why are you here? What are you doing here?"

Ah Huang blew a breath from his nose and turned his head to one side, as if to say, "How dare you ask me? What are you doing here? That's what I'm doing here."

Pei Guohua was a little stunned by Ah Huang's contemptuous look, but Pei Mingzhi smiled.

Ever since Ayan came into being, all the people and animals in this village have become extremely clever. Perhaps the only one who has not improved his IQ is his eldest son.

Hey!

"Ah Huang, it's not that we didn't call you on purpose. We just came here to give it a try. After all, there's a 50% chance that A Yan and Niu Niu are still going to the provincial capital, but they haven't arrived yet."

As he was speaking, he heard some sound coming from the road at the entrance of the village.

Judging from the sound, it was quite loud.

Pei Mingzhi and Pei Guohua were still wondering what was going on when they saw the huge body of the old ox beside them "whoosh", whoosh, whoosh, disappearing beside the father and son like a gust of wind.

Then, Pei Mingzhi let out a loud "Ah!" and quickly chased after Ah Huang's butt which had already disappeared.

"Dad, Dad, what are you doing? Where are you going?"

"You idiot, A Yan and Niu Niu are back, go back to the village and tell them, I'll pick them up."

Pei Mingzhi, who did not forget to scold his eldest son while running, was so full of energy that he really did not seem like an old man of his age.

Pei Guohua's eyes suddenly lit up. Has Sister Mo Yan really come back?

Instead of going to the province to meet the top leader, they went back to their village first?

As expected, he said that Sister Mo Yan values ​​the people in their village the most.

"Dad, didn't you ask me to come and help get the things? I'm not going back to report it. Wait for me, I'm coming too. I'll get the things for my sister-in-law and let Niu Niu ride on me."

After saying that, Pei Guohua also stretched out his long legs and quickly chased after Pei Mingzhi.
