The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 81 Starlight shines through the night sky, small oil lamp: I cried and then laughed (please subscribe)
"Let's go!" Shen Le bent down and tightened the laces of his hiking shoes. He picked up the repaired and lit small oil lamp and raised his voice:

"I'll go with you!"

There were a lot of footsteps. Senior Brother Zhuang Boyang and Junior Brother Wang Jiaxiong followed and ran out:

"Let's go too!"

"Let's go too!"

The youngest junior, Lu Weifeng, was at the back. He walked quickly forward, looking back again and again:
"Teacher, please don't come out!"

"Let's just go!"

"Teacher, please stay in the village!"

The brothers and sisters were fully armed and followed the team, preparing to set off in a mighty manner. Shen Le had just walked for less than two minutes when a man came running up from behind, panting:

"Don't go! Don't rush to go!!!"

The voice sounded familiar. Shen Le raised the oil lamp and shone it over. He saw that it was the young electrician Xiang Yang, who had come over from nowhere, tumbling and crawling.

His body was covered in yellow, green and black, and had been rolled over in the mud. He had also crushed countless green leaves, and his boots were covered with probably a pound of mud.

Even his face is covered with lines, which makes him look more camouflaged than camouflage without makeup. Looking at this, he probably spent a whole night climbing in the mountains in the wind and rain:

"Don't go walking up the mountain road! The poles are almost ready, and the wires, there's a way to bring the wires in, it'll be faster than you climbing out of the mountain!"

How do I bring this in?

Shen Le himself didn't quite believe it. He looked around and saw doubtful looks on the faces of the elderly people.

However, Shen Le still moved aside to let Xiang Yang pass him and rush to the front of the team. The young electrician turned around and opened his arms to the elderly people:

"Wait a moment! Wait a moment! Fifteen minutes, at most! Go back first! Go back!!!"

The mountain road was narrow. Xiangyang opened his arms to block the way, and if these old men didn't want to push him down, they really couldn't get through.

Shen Le laughed as he watched from behind. He took a step back and nudged the old man standing behind him:
"How about we retreat first? It's only a quarter of an hour anyway, it won't take too long... If the wires really arrive in 15 minutes, the village will still need help, right?"

His fellow apprentices were also in the team, whispering to one and the other. After a while of whispering, the team finally turned around and slowly returned to the village.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

After lifting the house to rescue people in the middle of the night, and walking on the mountain path in the rain in the middle of the night, the old people were extremely tired. They pulled bamboo stools and sat under the eaves, closing their eyes to rest, and almost collapsed to the ground.

Only Shen Le stood at the entrance of the village, craning his neck and looking hard in the direction where the electric wires should come from:
"Ten minutes left..."

"Five minutes left..."

"three minutes……"

"Two minutes..."

He could see nothing. The night was dark, without a single ray of light. The rain clouds that had not yet dispersed completely obscured even the starlight.

However, in this suffocating darkness, Shen Le suddenly saw two points of starlight shining through the darkness, getting closer and brighter!

"hiss--"

There was a sound of something heavy tearing through the wind, coming along with the starlight.

Shen Le held up the small oil lamp high. The silvery light of the oil lamp seemed to provide him with a pair of eyes that were ten times clearer, allowing him to see clearly what was on the opposite side at a glance.

A drone, a drone he had never seen before, at least twice as big as him, with countless propellers spinning rapidly.

Pulling a long piece of wire, it flew high up and over the cliff——

The lights on the drone were shining, illuminating the entire night sky.

"so good……"

Shen Le smiled silently from the bottom of his heart.

Behind them, the elderly looked up at the drone flying in the distance, and they cheered from shock to joy:
"The wires are coming! The wires are coming!"

"The electricity is coming!"

"Old Wu, you have oxygen to breathe! Old Wu, hold on!"

Shen Le looked up at the drone, watching it come closer and closer, watching it land above the transformer, watching the electrician Xiangyang climb up the electric pole, take the wires from the drone, and begin to connect them skillfully.

From beginning to end, the corners of Shen Le's mouth were always slightly upturned and never lowered.

In his hand, the small oil lamp also trembled slightly. The remaining silver-white light on the oil lamp floated up little by little, and drifted towards the night sky little by little:
[That’s great…]

No more climbing mountains with wires on our backs in the middle of the night, no more risking our lives to explore the way. We have such amazing equipment!
The light kept changing. In the lampshade and on the wick, the silvery light danced gently, extending towards the huge drone flying in the night sky, as if laughing.

As he laughed, little bits of light kept flying out from the diffused circles of light.

The stars were like tears scattered in the night sky, and soon they filled the sky with dancing and burst gently, as if small flowers were blooming.

Great joy and sorrow, attachment and relief, poured into Shen Le's heart like a torrent.

In the dark, Shen Le seemed to see the little oil lamp looking up at the drone and smiling gently. As he smiled, he started to cry, and as he cried, he couldn't help laughing again:
[That’s great…]

[They have become so powerful...]

[This time, I can finally leave with peace of mind...]

The electrician Xiangyang was very skillful. Shen Le felt that he had only watched for a short while, but he had already connected the wires brought by the drone to the transformer one by one and started to tinker with some equipment.

By the time his father, the old electrician Xiang Guoqing, panted up the hill, Xiangyang had already climbed down the pole and stood on the ground to start making a phone call:

"Confirmed that 110kV Qianjin Station, 10kV Qianchuan Line F15, and Luantou Branch Line are normal."

"Close the 110kv Qianjin Station, 10kV Qianchuan Line F15, Luantou Branch Line, Pole 06, Box Transformer 03010045 high-voltage switch."

There was a snap, and the lights came on.

“Is that all?!”

Xiang Guoqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed heavily.

The typhoon passed through and caused a large area of power outage. As a local agricultural electrician, he had no choice but to help. From yesterday evening till now, he and a group of people have been busy climbing mountains, supporting electric poles, and connecting wires. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

I thought the wires above would not be finished so quickly and he would be able to catch up to connect them. But when he got there, his son's work was almost done!

He was completely stunned when he saw his son's work efficiency. He even forgot to lift up the thermos cup in his hand.

So fast?
Was it fixed so quickly?
Xiangyang didn't feel surprised at all. He put down the phone, looked around at the lights that were turning on, and smiled at his father:
"Dad, look, we have a lot of new tools now. Repairing circuits and the like will be much easier in the future. We won't have to work so hard anymore!"

"yes……"

The old electrician stared at the drone parked on the ground, unable to take his eyes off it. He took a few careful steps and tried to reach out to touch it, but he pulled his hand back before he could touch it:
“That’s great, that’s great…”

Such a big drone, so powerful... It can defeat many of them... These old guys are getting weaker and weaker in front of new equipment, and are becoming more and more useless...

"So Dad, come with me for a walk." Xiang Yang took two steps closer and urged him again:
"My communication is about to end. While I'm back, why don't you come with me to live in Binhai for a while?"

"okay……"

"Dad, you don't have to stay in the village all the time... What? Dad, do you agree?"

"Yeah, it's not a bad thing to walk around occasionally." The old electrician stared at the drone that was flying again, stared at the newly installed box transformer, and slowly smiled:
"As your father, I will definitely stay in the village and take care of all the things going on in the village. But, it's also good to go out with you occasionally..."

The old man looked around, his eyes fixed on the open space at the edge of the village, where four construction vehicles were lined up and parked for a long time.

His smile gradually faded and became lost:
"It's good to go out and see some new things. If you hadn't asked me to come, I wouldn't have known that there are so many new things now..."

I don’t know anything and I can’t use anything. When I encounter new things in the future, I don’t know how to repair them and I don’t know how to use them!
Shen Le stood by holding a small oil lamp and nodded silently.

These days, technology is developing too fast. If he doesn't keep in touch with his classmates, he will not be able to catch up with the latest developments in just three to five years.

The technical gap between rural electricians in remote mountain villages and electricians in big cities is even greater...

Even if the power supply bureau conducts a round of training every two or three years, the training for rural electricians is limited and cannot keep up with the current development!
The old electrician obviously also thought of the existence of this gap, and his smile dimmed a little. Soon, it became bright and heroic again:
"I'm old, but I'm still smart and can still learn! Let's go out with you and learn some new things. Then, when we help you repair electricity in the future, we can do it faster and better!"

"Then it's settled!" Xiang Yang heaved a sigh of relief, stepped forward and took his father's arm, smiling and saying:
"Dad, don't worry, I will come home often to visit you.

Now we are promoting rural revitalization and upgrading rural power grids. I often come back to see what is needed here so that I can be more targeted when doing the work! ”

Shen Le looked at the father and son and couldn't help but smile. After laughing for a while, his face suddenly fell, and he picked up the small oil lamp and ran back to the room:

The small oil lamp was buzzing and vibrating, making a loud noise. A simple word was transmitted to Shen Le's heart, repeating back and forth:

[Hungry! Hungry! Hungry…]

Shen Le quickly put it against the wall. As soon as the small oil lamp fell, a thin, invisible silver-white light came out from the wick and floated into the socket.

Silver light flowed, and the oil lamp lit up completely, with brilliance everywhere. Shen Le turned his head silently, walked out of the room quickly, and walked towards the electric meter in the kitchen:
Damn, the electric meter is spinning so fast...

"Don't eat here! Come with me! When I get home, I'll let you eat as much as you want! If you eat here, the owner of the room can't afford the electricity bill!"
