    The home appliances of Li Changqing's family have always remained at the level of radios. Except for this radio, the light bulbs are the only things that use electricity at home.  In recent years, the TV industry has developed better and better. I heard that many people in the city have used color TV sets, and many people in the village have also used black and white TV sets.  Every time she sees Li Changqing who is fascinated by the radio, Yang Yi hesitates for a long time whether to add a TV to her home, but when she thinks about the expensive price, she will have to pay the electricity bill later, and think about the children's school fees, she has never made up her mind.  determination.  She didn't make up her mind because her self-esteem hadn't been stimulated yet.

    Yang Yi forgot the fact that children are constantly growing up.  In a blink of an eye, even the little girl was already five years old.  Several children who go to school also have their own small circle of friends in school.  The children would gather around the small four-wheel cart at the door to buy snacks and the latest popular toys. Of course, the price is not high, after all, the living standard in the whole environment is limited.  Yang Yi, who was busy with life, didn't care about these things, because her children were sensible, and they never asked her for extra pocket money except for buying necessary school supplies.  But she found that the children are getting more and more diligent when they go to Zhao Fenghua¡¯s house next door. She inquired about it and found that they are following the popular cartoon "The Lion King".  The kids said it was beautiful.  She has never watched it, and she doesn't know much about the children's world, but the children are so fascinated that they have to wait until they finish watching the show before eating.  If it's at her own home, Yang Yi naturally doesn't care.  But the problem is that there is no TV series in her house, and the children always go to Zhao Fenghua's house next door to watch TV.  Zhao Fenghua was originally a small-minded person, but he resisted it at the beginning, after all, he was a neighbor, and his own children were clamoring to see it.  But after a long time, she made a little calculation, and the sisters next door came to her house to watch TV every day. The TV was bought by her family, and the TV was also paid for by herself. How could she bear such a disadvantageous thing?

    "You bastards, if you don't do your homework well, you will watch TV every day. Turn it off quickly."

    "Eat or not, you bastards, I owe you all my life, I don't eat well, wait for me to invite you."

    "Quickly turn off the TV for me."

    "Watching TV doesn't cost electricity, and TV doesn't cost money. Save me some money and watch it every day. Prodigal children."

    Yang Yi knew from the very beginning that Zhao Fenghua's play of accusing Sang and Huai was for herself. The main reason was that the voice was so loud that it could penetrate the courtyard wall of the two families, and her child had never seen her scolding before she went, and every word of abuse  There is something in the voice.  Although the children also listened to her own words and tried to go as little as possible, she could clearly feel the loss of the children.

    "Why don't you go buy a small TV with me tomorrow." After learning from the pain, Yang Yi finally made up her mind.  Like buying a sewing machine, Li Changqing felt that Yang Yi's decision must be right.  And, to be honest, deep down, he kind of wants to watch TV, too.  Money is to be saved, but they make money to live better.

    When the workers who installed the TV adjusted the channel and characters appeared on the TV, several children jumped up happily.  They stared at the worker in front of them throughout the whole process, just to witness this magical moment.  The family finally has their own TV, and they can finally watch their favorite TV programs.  In fact, they have been excited for a long time since Yang Yi said that she would buy a TV set for her family a few days before the market.

    The arrival of TV has added a lot of vitality to this home. Children can watch their favorite cartoons and children's programs.  Being able to watch news broadcasts and weather forecasts every day, Yang Yi felt that the money spent was well worth it.

    "Every household, pay attention. We have started to contract land these days. If there are households who want to contract land, let's come to the brigade to draw land tomorrow. Every household, pay attention" The loudspeaker is the most important in the village.  The existence of information transmission is the historical witness of the big and small things in the village.

    Yang Yi has been waiting for the news of this year's land contract with her ears pricked up. Now that the fourth child, Chenyao, has grown up a bit, her sisters can coax her to play together.  You can contract another two acres of land to increase your income.  What's more, the land in Dagangzi has been her favorite for a long time. Under the land is clay, which retains water very well. Every year, the peanuts grow very well. When she thinks of the white and fat peanuts, she seems to see the brilliance.  Dazzling bills.

    In addition to the land allocated to each person in Qingxi Village according to the requirements of the state, there are still some land left over. These remaining land will be reserved and distributed to newborn children in the future.  Before that, these lands would be contracted to wealthyThe rented farmers come to rent the seeds.  Contracting is carried out uniformly in the whole village, and the brigade will give a base price for the contract, and then contract to all villagers.  All the people who come to the brigade for contracting will be handed out a small note, and each will write the contracting price they are willing to pay on it. The one with the highest price will get the right to contract the land for three years. After three years, the contract will be re-contracted.  If the winning bidder in the first round fails to come up with the corresponding price, then the second round of contracting will be carried out, and so on.  In other words, Yang Yi had waited three years for tomorrow's opportunity, and she was determined to win this piece of land.

    "Hey, Mother Chenfeng, come and watch the excitement." Li Wenzhi looked at Yang Yi with disdain while smoking a cigarette he had just lit.  In his eyes, she was not only a woman who gave birth illegally, but also a pauper.  He actually came here to do things that only rich people can do.  The arrogance in his bones is not only in him, but also imperceptibly in his daughter.  Like a father, like a son, Yang Yi finally understood where Li Xinxing's bullying of her daughter Chen Feng came from.  At this moment, she didn't know whether to feel angry for that child or feel sorry for that child.

    "Hey, second uncle, look at what you said. You mean that I don't have the money to contract this land, and I, a poor man, can only come here to watch the excitement."

    "Come on, Second Uncle didn't say that, don't get me wrong. The cost of contracting the land is not low, Second Uncle wants to save you some money."

    "Do you want to help me save money, or you are not willing to give up this good land with three acres of land. If you want to continue to get cheap land, you should be a good boy." Although it is fair, this public fairness is relative.  Careful Yang Yi followed the contracted land for many years, and finally understood the small calculation.  There are a few pieces of land that will always be deliberately bid high, and then no one will win the bid.  In the end, these lands will be shelved in the name of the brigade on the grounds that no suitable contractors can be found, and then dealt with at a low price.  And the winning bidder for this low price was none other than this high-ranking brigade secretary.

    Li Wenzhi didn't expect Yang Yi to turn back to him so openly. In order to seal her mouth, he had to temporarily swallow the breath in front of him.

    "Brothers and sisters, you can eat indiscriminately here, but you can't talk nonsense. The land belongs to the public, and our contracting is done openly and fairly. If you want to contract, just write down the price carefully, and then pay the money." Li Wenzhi  He didn't even look at Yang Yi anymore, and walked aside to chat with others.

    "Looking at how poor she is, I don't believe she can really pay for it." In order to save his own face just now, Li Wenzhi deliberately smeared Yang Yi in front of a group of people, and spat at the same time.

    Yang Yi is not deaf, so she really heard those words in her own ears.  But she didn't want to theorize, anyway.  The power is in the hands of others, all she has to do is to win for herself.  Let these people who look down on themselves go to the door by themselves.

    Yang Yi has carefully recorded the "list" of this land for many years, and the high price is 45 yuan every year. If the routine has not changed, it should still be 45 this year, so she paid 50 yuan, which is enough to get it.  However, when she thought of how she was looked down upon just now, she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.  The people who were squatting with Li Wenzhi just now and gossiped, almost all echoed Li Wenzhi and waited to see their own jokes.  She will never give them a chance.

    "Come on, come on, let's hurry up, Dagangzi has an acre of three, hurry up and hand in the note." Li Wenzhi worked hard to show his responsible image, and warmly entertained others.  Yang Yi cruelly wrote down the price of 60 yuan on the small note.  She was waiting for Li Wenzhi, who revealed the list, to look disheartened.

    "Li Changqing." Li Wenzhi looked at the note in his hand and stopped.  He didn't expect this woman to be so arrogant, but after thinking about it, she wrote it down, even if she wrote 10,000, it was her freedom, but in the end she couldn't pay the money, and the land still belonged to the public.  He cleared his throat and deliberately raised the volume.

    "Li Changqing, 60." Almost all the people present cast surprised glances at Yang Yi, yes, their gazes were full of doubts.

    How could such a poor family give such a high price?  Are you here to stir things up?  Anyway, she can't afford the money, and it will be cheaper to come and pick up the leftovers when the time comes.

    Yang Yi didn't want to bother interpreting the ruthlessness in that gaze anymore, so she left the scene silently.  In his ears was Li Wenzhi's voice declaring that this piece of land belonged to him.  Tomorrow she will come back here again with the money to take back her own land.

    "Second Uncle, I have to thank you very much. You have been doing this for so many years, and it's really good to clean up the land. Every year, the grass is so clean. This year, I don't have to worry about it." Yang Yi is not good at this.  It is a kind of ironic desolation, but when people are forced to a certain extent, they will always say things that surprise even themselves.  Li Wenzhi gritted his teeth and accepted the money, and registered Li Changqing's name next to the land that once belonged to him in the record book.  Yang Yi walked out of the brigade with her head held high and her chest held high. Now she is going home to continue picking peanuts for planting. She wants to pick some of the best peanuts to plant on this land next year.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)Li Changqing's name was registered next to the land that once belonged to him in the book.  Yang Yi walked out of the brigade with her head held high and her chest held high.
