Chapter 292 Kerosene Lamp!
In the 1970s and 1980s, electricity was not yet popular in China.
Most of the time, only county towns and even cities had some electricity. Even big cities like Yangcheng and Yanjing might not have enough electricity.
In most rural areas, kerosene lamps were used.
Kerosene lamps are also commonly known as kerosene lamps.
Ordinary villagers were reluctant to light kerosene lamps. They would only light kerosene lamps at home during festivals, important weddings, and funerals.
Now, kerosene lamps are lit inside and outside Weilongwu.
This Sanjiaotang production team, which was originally quiet and dim, is completely different from the past after the kerosene lamps are lit.
Lin Xiuzhi and Mr. Shen took a car back to the guesthouse in Longchuan County.
Yang Ming and Yang Jirong and his wife and others are still staying in Weilongwu in Sanjiaotang.
Yang Ming looked at Uncle Chen and Song Shaoguang and said, "Uncle Chen, Professor Song, I've made you suffer these two days. You've seen the conditions in the village. I wanted you to stay in the guesthouse in Longchuan."
"Mr. Yang, you are a noble man, you can stay here, let alone us. In fact, we also want to experience the life in the rural areas of China." Uncle Chen said hurriedly.
Uncle Chen was also from Sichuan in his early years and entered Hong Kong before liberation.
He hasn't been back to his hometown in Sichuan for 20 to 30 years.
However, he can't go back, and he doesn't dare to go back.
This time he followed Mr. Yang to Mr. Yang's hometown, and what he saw and heard along the way also surprised him. He felt that it was really not easy for Mr. Yang to achieve such results at such a young age.
He also found that Mr. Yang was different from Li Jiacheng in Mr. Yang.
In his opinion, Li Jiacheng represented the style of the old Chinese capital in Hong Kong and was cautious by nature.
Mr. Yang seems to represent a new style of Chinese capital in Hong Kong. His behavior seems to be completely different from that of Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang.
"Mr. Yang, I also want to experience life in China."
Professor Song's hometown is also in Guangdong Province, in another place. This time, he followed Mr. Yang to Mr. Yang's hometown and felt that he could empathize with Mr. Yang in some aspects.
However, Professor Song knew that he was different from Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang could change the fate of many people.
But he himself could not do it.
Because everyone's ability is different, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
He admired Mr. Yang, but he did not envy Mr. Yang.
"Thank you for your hard work."
At this time, Yang Jirong and Yang Shuhai came over. They were looking for Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang to discuss business.
This time Yang Jirong returned to his hometown.
In addition to seeing the changes in his hometown and his relatives, the most important thing was to let Yang Ming recognize his ancestors.
Yang Ming was born and raised in Hong Kong. Before he recognized his ancestors, he was not really considered a local.
Then he needs to recognize his ancestors and return to his roots, and then he will truly be a member of the Longchuan Yang family.
These all require the help of Feng Shui masters Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang, including calculating the auspicious date and which day is the most suitable. These all require the help of two Feng Shui masters.
Although this aspect was regarded as a dregs culture and was suppressed in the 1960s and 1970s, it is still the most believed in in rural areas now.
Yang Shuhai also thought at first that Chen Bo and the other two were Hong Kong friends brought by Mr. Yang, but he did not expect that they were actually one of the most powerful Feng Shui masters in Hong Kong.
Yang Shuhai originally wanted to find a Feng Shui master from the next village to help.
Now that Yang Ming has been brought back, he does not need to find the fortune teller from the next village.
After Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang were called by Yang Jirong.
Yang Ming, Ah Zhu, and Zhong Chuhong came to the room where Yang Ming was arranged.
This is also inside the Weilong House.
This Weilong House.
At the beginning, more than 500 people lived here, but now there are less than 100 people living here.
The remaining two hundred villagers all live in other places in Sanjiaotang, and their families live in adobe houses.
There are various reasons why those villagers did not continue to live here.
When Yang Ming and his family came back this time, Yang Shuhai already knew that it was the most suitable place to arrange for Mr. Yang and others to live.
The room where Yang Jirong used to live in Weilongwu had collapsed, and they spent several days to repair it.
Except for the one-meter-high stone base, the top was all adobe bricks, which were simply plastered with some lime.
For the village, such a house is already very good.
As for the cement used?
There is basically none.
The room where Yang Ming lives has not been occupied for some time. The villagers helped to clean it up. Now there is only a very old mahogany plank bed, which is very hard, harder than the one in the guesthouse.
A mosquito net is simply set up on it.
In this weather, there are a lot of mosquitoes here, and they are also very poisonous. They like to stare at people and bite them the most.
In addition, there are many old newspapers stuck on the surrounding walls.
Yang Ming didn't know where Yang Shuhai got these old newspapers from.
From the dates on the old newspapers, we can see that some of them are old newspapers from several years ago.
Next to the wooden bed is a table.
There is a kerosene lamp on the table now.
Kerosene lamps are easily swayed by the wind. If there is no lampshade, they can be blown out easily, and even cause fire.
"Master, is this a kerosene lamp?" Ah Zhu asked.
She remembered that there was a kerosene lamp in the room when she was a child in Nanyang, but she hadn't used it for a long time.
"Yes, this is a kerosene lamp, which is more economical."
With this kerosene lamp, the room was relatively bright.
In addition to this, Yang Ming found that the roof of this room was covered with tiles with beams. In this weather, it felt like there was still a chill coming in from the outside.
If Yang Ming, Ah Zhu, and Zhong Chuhong were not wearing more winter clothes, it would really feel very cold in this room.
"Master, I'll ask someone to bring you hot water for a bath."
Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong went out to find an aunt to boil water.
Yang Ming sat alone in the room.
This kind of rural life in this environment may have existed in many places in China in the 1980s or even the early 1990s.
Now in the late 1970s, it is also very normal in Yang Ming's hometown.
However, he thinks that the most valuable thing in the entire Sanjiaotang may be this Weilong House.
Even so, if no one maintains and repairs this Weilong House for a long time, or if all the villagers move out in the future, the Weilong House will soon collapse.
Half an hour later.
Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, and a middle-aged woman from the village brought two large buckets of hot water for Yang Ming to take a bath.
Inside the Weilong House, many courtyards have separate wells, and the villagers living in the Weilong House use water pumps to press water up from the wells.
Then use firewood to heat it up, and it took half an hour in total.
"Master, the hot water is here." Ah Zhu came over and said.
