Chapter 48 Everything happens for a reason
"Huh? Why?"

Chen Hui was surprised that Chen Kaiming refused this matter.

Because the electricity for Chen Kaiming's own home is pulled from the village community.

It is not difficult to pull out electric wires in the villages.

The electricity meter I bought has a separate line, and I pay the village social security fee according to the meter every month, so there is no situation of taking advantage of the collective.

"Your home is too far from the village!"

"what?!"

The reason given by Chen Kaiming confused both Chen Hui and An Wenjing.

"Uncle, we can buy the electrical wires ourselves without spending the village money," said Chen Hui.

"It's not about the wires."

Chen Kaiming poured tea for the two of them, sat down and explained:

"I only found out after I pulled the plug. When electricity passes through the wires, it will cause losses."

"One kilowatt-hour of electricity passes through the meter at the village, but when it reaches my home, there is only one kilowatt-hour left."

"Your home is so far away, how much power must be wasted on the way? I tell you, even if you can afford to pull the wires, you won't be able to use the electricity tomorrow."

“It’s a waste of effort and money.”

Chen Hui and An Wenjing looked at each other.

The loss means that some electricity is spent but not used.

An Wenjing was a little hesitant.

"So that's how it is! Uncle, I still want to use this electricity. There is a lot of loss, so we should just use it sparingly."

"I was thinking that after getting married we would have children, and if we still use kerosene lamps with children, it would be a huge safety hazard," Chen Hui said with a smile.

If he said that he was not used to using electric light, he would probably be lectured by Chen Kaiming for not knowing how to save money.

But it’s different when it comes to children.

After hearing what Chen Hui said, Chen Kaiming thought for a moment and nodded.

"That's fine. Having more places to spend money can also give you some motivation to make money."

"Well, I'll give you a heads up. When you have time, go to the village to find Chen Guobiao and ask him to tell you what kind of meter and how many meters of wire you should buy. Once you've bought them, ask him to pull them for you."

"Thank you, uncle. I'm sorry to bother you with this matter."

After the two important matters were arranged, Chen Hui hurriedly bowed.

"We are all from the same village, so why bother talking about whether it is a trouble or not?" Chen Kaiming said with a yawn.

"Uncle, you should go and have a rest. I will call Uncle Xiaoqiao to go fishing together." Chen Hui said.

"Huh? Going to the beach?" Chen Kaiming was puzzled.

Chen Hui briefly talked about what happened in the afternoon.

Chen Kaiming waved his hand, "Forget it, Daqiao has already left, so he doesn't know whether he will go or not. Xiaoqiao just had a few drinks, so it's not safe to go to the beach."

"Yes, uncle is right! Then I will take Wenjing back first."

Chen Hui immediately changed the subject.

As soon as the two of them walked out of Chen Kaiming's house, An Wenjing couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "Uncle Xiaoqiao was spoiled by the village chief."

"Yes, that's right!" Chen Hui nodded.

"Uncle Xiaoqiao is neither the eldest, nor the youngest, nor the only son."

"Why do the village chief and aunt dote on him so much?" An Wenjing couldn't understand.

Chen Hui shook his head.

He couldn't figure it out either.

From fishing in the morning to socializing in the evening, Chen Hui was tired after a whole day.

I sent An Wenjing home and made an appointment with her to go to the county town to buy things together the next afternoon, and then I went home to sleep.

The next day, Chen Guogang arrived outside Chen Hui's house very early and started to build the roof of the toilet.

Chen Hui was awakened by the noise and went out the door rubbing his eyes.

He went into the house, rubbed his face with cold water, and then joined in the work of renovating the house.

I know someone else is going to come to work at home today.

An Wenjing also got up early, cooked breakfast and brought it over, and brought An Wenyi over to help boil water and make tea.

The small house was filled with the breath of life early in the morning.

A little after eight o'clock, Jiang Houfa and Huang Miao came over on a tricycle pulling large and small boards.

"Master Jiang, what's wrong with your face?" Seeing that Jiang Houfa's eyes were black and blue, as if he had just been beaten, An Wenjing couldn't help but feel concerned.

"It's because of staying up late to chop wood, this bastard"

"Who is like him, coming to fix furniture and toilets a few days before the wedding?"

Jiang Houfa sighed.

He unscrewed the teapot, tilted his head back and took a sip of the strong, bitter tea.

He sighed again in his heart. This was because Chen Nianfa's son was getting married. If it were anyone else, he would not have earned this money.

"Master Jiang, this really can't be blamed on Chen Hui. He really just decided to get married."

Chen Guogang popped his head out from behind the house and came over to count the tiles left over from yesterday.

"You must be very happy that he is getting married. No one will come to eat for free anymore in the future." Jiang Houfa joked.

"Eh"

Chen Guogang looked back and suddenly realized that in just a few days, his relationship with Chen Hui had become much closer.

When I saw him before, besides feeling sorry for him because he lost his parents at such a young age and was all alone, I was more worried about my own good-for-nothing.

When I see Chen Hui now, I suddenly feel that life is full of hope.

"Hahahaha, yeah yeah."

"Getting married is a good thing. People should get married." Chen Guogang laughed heartily.

He carried a pile of tiles to the back of the toilet.

"Chen Hui! Someone is looking for you!"

On the path coming here, a shout came from afar.

Chen Hui walked forward for a while and saw who was coming. He widened his eyes in surprise.

Huang Xiulian was carrying a small bag and wearing low-heeled shoes, walking tremblingly on the country road.

Seeing Chen Hui, he smiled and waved his arms.

A child of seven or eight years old was leading the way, bringing her here.

The child ran like a monkey, stopping every few steps to wait for Huang Xiu Lian behind him.

"Who is this beautiful sister?" An Wenjing followed and asked.

"A rich woman from the county town."

"Ah?! She is the rich woman? Then why did she come to see you?"

"I don't know." Chen Hui shook his head.

He didn't even tell Huang Xiu Lian the specific address, but just casually said that he was from Chenjia Village.

"Look, this is the Chen Hui you're looking for, right?"

Finally they met, the child pointed at Chen Hui and asked Huang Xiu Lian.

"It's him, thank you!"

Huang Xiulian took out a dollar from her handbag.

The child took the money and ran away happily.

"Ms. Huang Xiulian, why did you come to Chenjia Village?" Chen Hui asked.

"This road is really hard to walk on. My shoes are almost worn out."

Huang Xiulian complained, looked around, and chose a flatter place to stand.

He looked up and down at An Wenjing who was standing next to Chen Hui, and asked with a smile: "Is this the bride you are going to marry?"

Chen Hui nodded.

"Hello, Ms. Huang Xiu Lian!" An Wenjing took the initiative to greet her.

"Hello, hello, you look so beautiful!"

Huang Xiulian nodded with a smile on her face, looked at Chen Hui and complained: "You haven't sold me any fish for several days."

what? !

The rich woman came all the way from the county town to Chenjia Village just for this?

Chen Hui was a little surprised, but he still explained with a smile: "I'm sorry, I've been busy preparing for the wedding these days."

"Huh, then marriage is indeed important."

"But there is one thing you must do me a favor." Huang Xiu Lian said.
