Yao Yuan shocked Aunt Jiang even more, and was still behind.
After the New Year, Zhang Shuncai's wife returned to her hometown in the countryside and brought a rural girl named Xiaohui.
The girl came that day and went back that day.
Aunt Jiang went to Yao Yuan and asked him if he had figured out a way to deal with Zhang Shuncai?
Yao Yuan said no.
Aunt Jiang was a little anxious and said to Yao Yuan: "Didn't you see a girl coming next door? I guess that's the wife you told Zhang Jianjun! Zhang Shuncai, the old guy, will come to you soon to ask for a house!"
Yao Yuan said: "I have agreed with him. I have to wait until the wheat is harvested. It's still early!"
Aunt Jiang said: "You are so stupid! Before he got married, he was not allowed to buy furniture or dowry? Zhang Shuncai's house is tight, so where can he put things in? He will definitely ask you to buy a house and put it on your side."
Yao Yuan thought about it, this is really possible. But he also saw the girl named Xiaohui. She was very white and beautiful. Such a beautiful girl would be willing to marry Zhang Jianjun?
Aunt Jiang sighed and said, "You don't know how hard life in the countryside is. There are so many places that you can't live at all! A woman can marry a city owner who eats public food. Many people are rushing to go to the city with sharp heads. How can you care about her ugly handsomeness? As long as Zhang Jianjun is willing to ask her, she will definitely agree."
In today's society, no one may believe the truth that Aunt Jiang said. But in that era, this was a cruel reality.
Similarly, the young men in the city are not disabled or really unable to find a partner, so they generally do not choose to eat agriculture.
A while ago, Aunt Jiang shouted that when Yao Yuan was older, she would go to the countryside to tell him about a wife. However, later she found out that Yao Yuan was indeed not stupid, so she stopped talking about this.
It seems that Uncle Yao’s wife was indeed Aunt Jiang who ran back to her hometown and brought it to him, but Yao Yuan had never seen her before.
It’s not that Zhang Jianjun can’t find a wife, but this kid always thinks that his father is the second-in-command and wants to find someone as beautiful as Jiang Kangkang.
But there are always not many beautiful girls. No one wants to marry him, just their family and his personality. Especially when he bullied Jiang Kangkang, he made Aunt Jiang yell that the mining machine was so big, everyone knew that there was no beautiful girl willing to follow him.
In that era, when a cadre was just a higher salary than others, he might have better food and clothing. Apart from that, cadres did not have particularly great power. After all, power was still under the supervision of the people, and no one had the courage to commit suicide, nor did they dare to think about it in that direction. Even Zhang Shuncai did not dare, for fear of being exposed and being beaten, and they would be ruined from top to bottom in their lives.
Therefore, Zhang Shuncai's cadre conditions are not enough to make the beautiful girl marry his unethical son regardless of everything.
But Zhang Jianjun refused to look ugly, so he could only force his mother to go to the countryside to find him a beautiful wife.
This time, Aunt Jiang guessed correctly.
In April, Zhang Shuncai came over to discuss with Yao Yuan and asked him to vacate the house in the east first. Zhang Jianjun was going to get married on May Day, so he had to buy furniture for his son first and put it here.
Zhang Shuncai promised him that he would not move his wheat field, and wait until the wheat was harvested and then build a wall and clean up the yard.
This condition did not violate the agreement they reached at the beginning, so Yao Yuan didn't say anything and started to rush the house in the east.
The sewing machine was taken for Aunt Jiang. Anyway, the thing was just Aunt Jiang's use. She also gave it to Aunt Jiang's three-pull table, as well as a long cabinet on the kang, and Aunt Jiang's house did not have it, and there was also a table with a pit lamp for Jiang Meimei to learn from. He left the radio and placed it on the desk in the west room.
The remaining sofas and coffee tables were moved to the outer room of the west room together with some messes in the outer room, which was empty.
Zhang Jianjun saw the sofa and coffee table. This thing was very fashionable at the time and even his father didn't have it at home.
He ran to discuss with Yao Yuan. Anyway, you are a fool and don’t entertain guests. You don’t need this thing, so it’s better to leave it for him.
Yao Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and hummed and said, "Get out! I'll burn it..., and I won't give it to you!"
He still pretends to be a fool when he is guarding outsiders and can't even speak.
Zhang Jianjun didn't give up and chased Yao Yuan and rubbed him: "Look, this thing is of no use at all. It takes up space in the house. Why are you moving him? Why don't you stay here, so you can save trouble, right?"
Yao Yuan asked him: "It's useless...you... want it, what are you doing?"
Zhang Jianjun thought about it and said, "I am used to sleeping in the bed and don't like sleeping in the kang. I can use it as a bed and sleep."
He also regarded Yao Yuan as a fool.
Yao Yuan said: "You...remove...kang, change... bed." He dragged the sofa outside the door alone.
Outside the house is a wheat field, which has grown taller and is green.
He was afraid that the sofa would crush the wheat seedlings, so he shouted to Zhang Jianjun in the room: "Come out and carry it over with me!"
Zhang Jianjun did not dare to provoke him, so he had to carry the sofa to the west room with him. He stepped on the wheat seedlings in the middle, and was scolded by Yao Yuan again.
This time, Aunt Jiang was a little anxious. When she was having dinner at night, she asked Yao Yuan: "Are you really planning to make that house cheaper by Zhang Jianjun?" Then she said, "In theory, if you live in two houses by yourself, you really can't live in it. His place is tight, so we should let him live. However, this family named Zhang has no good things, one is worse than the other! I don't have any objection to whom I live in. I feel uncomfortable with living for their house!"
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "We'll have dinner later, let's go there."
Seeing that he looked mysterious, Aunt Jiang stopped asking him. This kid is not stupid, and he is more sensible than her. She just wondered what he had come up with torture?
After dinner, Jiang Meimei went to the inner room and studied on the three-draw table that Yao Yuan moved to with the desk lamp. Yao Yuan and Aunt Jiang went to him. He asked Aunt Jiang to stand in the inner room of the east room and went back to the west room by himself.
The east house just vacated the house, and the Zhang family had not yet brought in the furniture. Aunt Jiang stood in the empty inner room, not knowing what Yao Yuan was going to do.
At this moment, Yao Yuan's voice suddenly came from the inner room, hoarse and trembling: "Aunt Jiang, can you tell where I am?"
Aunt Jiang was so scared that she ran out of the inner room with a "good" sound. She clearly watched Yao Yuan go out and enter the west room, but why did she suddenly go back to the east room?
Just as he was puzzled, Yao Yuan came out of the west room and waved to her.
Aunt Jiang went into the west room and asked Yao Yuan what was going on?
Yao Yuan dragged out the single bed in the inner room. Under the wall at the head of the east, there was a half-meter-high hole, and the large radio was inside the hole.
Aunt Jiang became even more confused when she looked at this strange arrangement.
There are four houses in the village of Mining Machinery. When building houses, in order to save space and materials, the kitchen outside the yard is next to the east and two houses on the west. The kang in the inner room and the kang are next to the middle, two houses on the east end, and the kang are next to the outside street. In this way, each two houses can share a kitchen partition wall or share a flue.
The outer room and kitchen of Aunt Jiang’s house are next to the outer room and kitchen of the west room on Yao Yuan’s side, while the inner room on Yao Yuan’s side is next to the inner room. The flue passing through the kang is shared by the east and west room.
The hole that Yao Yuan opened under the bed on the east side was the lower edge of the flue. He put the radio in, then found a wooden board to block the hole. The sound from the radio speaker would pass through the flue and enter the east room.
Moreover, the sound will become blurred when passing through the smoke channel. I don’t know if it is from the wall or from the kang. It sounds like it is in the room and right in my ears, but I can’t tell the direction. It’s really a bit scary. No wonder Aunt Jiang was shocked.
Yao Yuan explained to Aunt Jiang the principle of hearing the sound in the east room, and then smirked and said, "Aunt Jiang, you said, Zhang Jianjun was asleep there, and suddenly heard my mother talking to him in the middle of the night. What would he do?"
Aunt Jiang said: "He will be scared to death!"
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "I won't be scared to death, he will never dare to sleep inside again!"
Aunt Jiang looked at Yao Yuan in amazement. How did this kid come up with such a strange idea? But she still had a problem that didn't understand.
She asked Yao Yuan: "Didn't your dad leave behind a radio? How can you talk inside?"
Yao Yuan said: "Fortunately he stayed, this radio is high-powered and American. Without it, our domestic products are not as loud as that, so we can't get this, and the effect is."
Aunt Jiang didn't understand this, she just wanted to figure out why this radio became a speaker used in the factory, the kind of speaker that speaks?
Yao Yuan explained that the working principle of this radio and speaker is similar. He just needs to add a microphone, connect the microphone's electrical signal to the radio, and let the radio fix a frequency, so that it can be used as a speaker. As for that microphone, he picked it up from the garbage dump outside the broadcasting room of the train station, but the connection cable is broken, so just change it.
Aunt Jiang widened her eyes and asked, "Dasha, how do you understand the principles of this machine? This thing is so complicated. None of the whole factory understands this!"
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Aunt Jiang, this is very simple and not difficult at all. My father has such books in his bookcase, I can read them myself."
Just find out the principle of the electronic circuit and show it to Aunt Jiang.
How could Aunt Jiang understand this? But Yao Yuan said that this is simple and she couldn't believe it even if she beat her to death.
But Yao Yuan knew this, and the transformation was very successful. She had already heard Yao Yuan's voice in the east room.
Aunt Jiang took two plants and shook them. If Yao Yuan hadn't helped him, she would have sat down on the ground.
Yao Yuan knew that if he explained too much, he would rather not explain. It would be better to use this thing to attract Aunt Jiang's attention, so he took out the microphone and asked Aunt Jiang to try it himself.
Sure enough, Aunt Jiang was immediately attracted by the microphone with red silk cloth wrapped around her head, took it over and tried to talk to it.
But there was no kang in the inner room of the west room, and the kang was demolished and changed to a single bed. The sound Aunt Jiang heard was not as scary as she heard in the east room.
Yao Yuan went to the east room again and came back to tell Aunt Jiang that the voice was loud enough. No matter how loud it was, Zhang Shuncai's house would hear it.
Aunt Jiang didn't believe it, so she asked Yao Yuan to speak. She went to the east room to listen to it herself, and it turned out that she felt scary again.
The old and the young have changed their children this night and run around the two houses.
Later, Yao Yuan thought of a way to use a long wire to move the microphone through the windows of the two houses to the east house. In this way, the two of them could directly test the effect in the east house.
After playing for a while, Aunt Jiang remembered again and asked Yao Yuan: "Why did you let your mother's voice come out?"
Yao Yuan just looked at Aunt Jiang without saying a word, just laughing.
Aunt Jiang understood: "Do you want me to imitate your mother's words?" and said, "No, no, your mother is from the south and speaks with a southern accent, so I can't imitate it."
