When the village chief asks people to hold a meeting, it should be maintenance fees or other expenses that need to be paid by the villagers.
After all, there is only one transformer in the village. This thing is very expensive in this era, and it is not something that a family can afford.
He nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, I'll follow and have a look."
"Wait for me to change clothes."
Si Nian hurriedly went back to the room to change clothes, but found that his coat was very thin.
Basically all are autumn clothes.
She usually wears fine clothes, but why should she freeze to death today?
She hurriedly went to the closet and rummaged around, only to see the man's military coat rolled up on the top of the closet.
It looks very thick.
Si Nian hurriedly went to take it off and found that there was a furry hat on it.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she put on a large coat and a hat. Although it was a bit too big, it was not impossible to wear.
After cutting off the cold wind, my whole body felt warm.
Si Nian was embarrassed to be asked to wait, so he put on his clothes and went downstairs. He also grabbed a few candies for Shi Shi, and then rushed towards the village chief's house with Aunt Zhang.
Along the way there were people who rushed over after receiving the news.
Everyone is talking about this.
It was probably very clear that if the village chief called him over, it must be that the transformer was burned out and he needed to collect money.
His face didn't look very good at the moment.
Sure enough, when we arrived at the village chief's house, the big courtyard was already full of people.
At the front were the village party secretary and some leading people in the village.
There was a lot of noise and quarrel all around.
Seeing everyone coming, the village chief scolded: "Okay, okay, stop talking. This is what our village committee thinks. Everyone knows that it rained last night and the transformer burned out. Because everyone went to the village last night." I went to bed early and no one noticed that when I asked Xiao Zhou to take a look today, it was no longer usable. Now our village committee’s decision is that the villagers who belong to it must pool money to replace it with new ones..."
Xiao Zhou?
Si Nian, who was standing behind and wrapped up tightly, raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
This morning she seemed to vaguely hear Zhou Yueshen getting up.
Was it because of this?
As expected, everyone became quiet and looked at each other in shock after hearing this.
"Village chief, how much will it cost?"
"Yes, everyone's harvest this year is not good, but we can't get much money."
"Can I pay on credit first?"
Village elder Huo (Beishan)'s face darkened: "What a fool you are. You didn't even pay the maintenance fee last time, and now you want to pay for it on credit! I, Huo Beishan, put my words here. Every household in our Xingfu Village, Everyone has to pay. If someone doesn’t pay, they won’t be given home appliances, and no one can take advantage!”
People in the crowd who didn't want to pay immediately fell silent when they heard this.
Si Nian looked at the old village chief. Although he was a bit older, he was tall and tall, quite imposing, and he still looked majestic.
"You don't need to pay much, it's based on population, one dollar per person, and we, the village committee, will figure out the rest."
"It costs one yuan per person, so my family of eight will cost eight yuan!"
"Yes, how can we live with a large population? Having many children is already stressful enough, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If we use the money to do this, we won't even be able to live a good year."
"Yes, shouldn't the rich families be allowed to pay more and the poor families be given less?"
“Although we have a large population, my household uses very little electricity.”
"Yes, we all only use two hours of electricity. We don't even use it. Why should we pay for it?"
"I do remember that in terms of electricity consumption, Factory Manager Zhou's house probably has the most electricity. His house has the brightest lights every day!"
"I saw it too. When I got up at night and went to the toilet, I saw that the lights were still on. Shouldn't there be more at Factory Manager Zhou's house?"
"Why didn't Director Zhou come? Could it be that he wasn't willing to give out the money?"
Everyone looked around with a bit of displeasure.
Zhou Yueshen does have the most electricity at home, and everyone sees it.
"Isn't that Factory Director Zhou's wife? Why don't you express your gratitude? I heard that your home also uses a TV refrigerator!"
Someone said sharply.
Si Nian looked over and saw that he was from the Zhang family.
That Zhang Qian's mother.
Si Nian offended Sister-in-law Zhu before.
The Zhu family has the largest population. She has sons and grandsons, her daughter is also at home, and the old man still lives with them.
There are seven or eight people in the family in total.
The ones produced at home are the most.
Just thinking about it made her angry.
Previously, I gave eggs to please Si Nian and wanted to learn how to make pastry, but she collected the things but was perfunctory.
Naturally, he won't let her go now.
There are only five people in Sinian's family, but they use the most electricity. Why does her family pay less than her own?
So she sarcastically said: "Maybe some people burned the transformer because they used it too much. Whoever broke it will get it out!"
When the people around heard this, they all looked at Si Nian, hoping that she would express her opinion.
Although the relationship is usually okay, this is not a small amount of money.
Everyone’s hard work only costs thirty yuan a month.
It's not as easy to make money as the Zhou family.
The transformer in their village was old, had broken down before, and had to be repaired several times.
The Zhou family is so luxurious, uses so much electricity, and turns on the lights late at night. Maybe it's like Zhang Qian's mother said, that they used too much, so it burned out.
Thinking of this possibility, everyone suddenly felt that maybe they didn’t need to pay this money!
Si Nian's face was still calm. After everyone finished talking, he said: "It rained heavily last night and the transformer was old and in disrepair. It was probably caused by water getting in. Of course, if any of you have evidence to prove that it was because our Zhou family has a lot of electricity." If it's going to be bad, you can provide evidence as much as possible. Our company will not say any more nonsense and we will definitely pay for the money."
"But if it weren't for this reason, what should we say to those who framed our Zhou family?"
Zhang Qian's mother snorted: "That sounds nice, but it's all burned out. Who knows why? You're just making excuses!"
Si Nian looked at her with calm eyes, "Generally, a master in the field of maintenance can basically tell the cause of the damage at a glance. Since my aunt thinks it is my problem, that's fine. I will pay the master to check it out at my own expense. What is the reason, but..."
"But what?" Everyone looked at Si Nian.
Si Nian looked at Zhang Qian's mother with a half-smile and said, "But I have a condition. If the master checks and proves that it was not damaged due to our Zhou family's excessive use of electricity, the Zhang family will pay for the maintenance of the transformer. How about that?" ?”
Everyone looked at Zhang Qian’s mother for the first time.
Zhang Qian’s mother’s eyes suddenly widened and she said sharply: “Are you kidding me? Why did you let me out! It wasn’t me who broke it!”
"It wasn't you who broke it, and it wasn't me who broke it. Then Aunt Zhang, why did you let our Zhou family go out?"
