My family lives in Liangshuijing Village, Dayong Town. In the early 1980s, there was no electricity in the village. At that time, I was in the fifth grade, and I used a kerosene lamp to illuminate my homework at night, and when I was far away from the lamp, it was not bright, vague, and when I got close to the lamp, I burned my hair, so I had to use scissors to fix the burned hair so as not to be laughed at by my classmates. Sometimes I borrow a good novel, light an oil lamp and unconsciously see the middle of the night, and the next day my nostrils are full of black oil smoke. Sometimes I can't find matches in the middle of the night, and I accidentally knock the oil lamp to the ground, and the strong smell of kerosene makes people upset. Sometimes I light an oil lamp to find something, and flammable materials such as mosquito nets and firewood are easily caught on fire if I am not careful. I remember that in the spring of 81, there was a family's mosquito net in the village that was ignited by oil lamps, burning more than 10 families to the point of slick, and the raging fire reflected half the sky.....
At that time, rice was eaten with rice and processed by the river, and the grain was pushed around with a large stone mill, and the rice noodles with tangyuan were eaten every New Year's Festival. I still remember a farm proverb: fast grinding slowly, and two shackles to be shackled. If you want to eat noodles or white-noodle steamed buns, you have to carry 100 catties of wheat over the mountains to more than 10 kilometers of electricity town for processing.
Because there is no electricity in the village, the marriage of the boys has become a hot thing, the girls from the village are reluctant to marry into the village, and the girls in the village cannot stay, they have married to the village with electricity, saying that the liangshuijing village is blinded by black lights at night, and the ghosts are beaten to death.
In 1981, the village decided to pull electricity, even if it was to smash pots and sell iron to get electricity through. This decision was unanimously supported by all the villagers. At that time, the production team still had public housing and some collective assets, and each family also accumulated a part of the money according to the head of each family. A slap did not make a sound, and the crowd gathered firewood and the flame was high. And contacted the neighboring three villages of Scolding, Nawei, and Xingxin to do electricity together, and invited technicians to measure the position of the poles in the six power supply areas, and the masses invested in labor to dig the pole pits, and after the pits were dug, the cement poles were lifted. At that time, there was no road in the village, and more than a dozen people carrying thousands of pounds of cement poles walked like snails on the potholed sheep intestine trail... After more than two years of hard work, in 1983 the village was finally electrified. Looking forward to the moon, hoping for the stars, hoping for the lights in the village. On the night of the power delivery, the village was happier than the New Year. Everyone was beaming with joy and smiling. Our family sat around the bright house, sitting all night guarding the electric lamp, and my father's wrinkled face was full of happiness and happiness, he said: "Lao Tzu is more than 50 years old or has seen this fresh play for the first time, you say it is not strange, this electric lamp is like a melon full of melons on a long melon vine, and the gate knife is all like a small sun shining brightly." Whether he eats good or bad, he is happy to see the electric light. "In those days, life was like full of rain and dew and sunshine.
Soon, for some reason, the electricity stopped for a few days, and the line from Shangyuhei to Chicken Climbing Kan (place name) was cut off by thieves for more than 2,000 meters of aluminum, and the countryside was black again, and the villagers had no choice but to sell pigs, chickens, grain, trees, etc., and everything that could be sold for money. My family was poor, so I had to sell two big yellow dogs who were loyal to protect the family for 40 yuan to pay them. It was hard to scrape together enough money to buy aluminum wire, and then asked the master who framed the wire to set up the wire. After that, as long as the power is cut off, each village must arrange for people to guard the power line at night. Guarding the wire is a chore, each person is responsible for guarding 4 poles, especially in the winter when the wind and rain do not see the five fingers, the weather is cold and slippery, the guards must walk back and forth, and from time to time shake the torch whether there is anyone on the pole, and can not sleep. Occasionally, the cries of night birds are as creepy as ghost cries.
After the electricity in the village was normal, the power supply department sent two teachers to teach us about electricity in the school, focusing on safe electricity use and saving electricity, which benefited us a lot. One day I asked the Sichuan-speaking teacher curiously: What is electricity? He said nonchalantly: electricity is an important energy source, it is widely used in production and life, can emit light, heat, production power and so on. And give us a detailed explanation of friction generation, hydroelectric power, coal power generation and wind power generation.
Gradually, some families in the village bought rice beaters, flour grinders, dough presses and oil presses, which greatly facilitated the villagers. During the New Year's Festival, pushing tofu and beating rice dumplings are also done by machinery. The village's bachelors also married the lady of the house. In 1984, my father sold a buffalo to buy a Panda TV. Every night, the front and back of the house are crowded with people, and the home is surrounded by water...
In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, the state has increased investment in agricultural electricity, and the transformation and construction of agricultural power grids have been carried out in full swing in rural areas, realizing the electrification of villages and villages and benefiting every household. The dedicated and dedicated power supply people are not afraid of hardship, not afraid of fatigue, and the peasant brothers mingle, work overtime, and dedicate light and heat with hard work. In order to let the villagers get more benefits, the state has introduced a policy of home appliances going to the countryside, and the lives of the villagers are more and more inseparable from electricity, not to mention tv computers, induction cookers, rice cookers, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc. Are inseparable from electricity, and electricity has penetrated into all aspects of our lives.
