Chapter 763 - 759: Wanting to Use Electricity

By this point, electricity had been brought to countless homes. It was just that here in the Qingshan Team, surrounded by endless mountain ranges, the workload was too great, so it hadn’t been installed yet.

However, Gu Jiaojiao remembered the book mentioning that the people of the Qingshan Team also got electricity in the same year the college entrance exams were reinstated.

All of this was mentioned in her younger cousin’s book.

’Now that the plot has gone completely off the rails, who knows if this detail still holds true.’

But none of that would stop her from getting electricity.

Getting wires and power strips wasn’t the hard part; the issue was that buying them through normal channels required industrial coupons.

Leng Yuan agreed without hesitation.

"No problem."

"And when the waterwheel can’t generate electricity anymore, we can use wind power."

Gu Jiaojiao was in awe. She had no idea how this man’s brain worked. She had learned a great deal in her life, but that was largely due to her circumstances.

Not her intellect, but her money.

Growing up wealthy, she never lacked for money, and the tutors she had were all top international experts. The level they operated on was something most people could never hope to reach in a lifetime.

From a young age, Gu Jiaojiao had absorbed knowledge passed down by these top-tier talents. When you learn from brilliant people, even if you aren’t a genius yourself, you’re bound to pick up a thing or two.

Besides, her interests changed frequently. She knew a little about a lot of things but wasn’t an expert in any of them.

Take these machines, for instance. She had only ever studied their principles, yet with just a simple explanation from her, Leng Yuan could actually build them.

In other words, without Leng Yuan, none of these inventions would exist.

’He’s a physics genius.’

’I’ve really hit the jackpot.’

"Mr. Leng, you’re truly incredible."

Overjoyed at her good fortune, Gu Jiaojiao flung herself halfway into the man’s arms, leaning across the rocking chair.

Leng Yuan held her steady. He was now well-accustomed to his wife’s sudden bursts of affection.

Gu Jiaojiao had complete faith in her husband’s strength, so she never held back.

Summer clothes were thin, and he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt. Men’s clothing in this era was simple; short-sleeved tops and button-downs were practically identical in style, differing only in color.

As a teacher, Leng Yuan owned quite a few button-downs. And when he wore one, his solid forearms on display were enough to intimidate other men.

Gu Jiaojiao, on the other hand, wasn’t scared at all. She was just a little... tempted.

She hadn’t been a lecherous person before, but ever since getting a man, she couldn’t resist slipping a hand under his shirt to feel his firm chest. The sensation was quite intoxicating.

It was summer, a time when passions flared easily. With his wife’s hands exploring him, Leng Yuan tilted his head and kissed her.

There are just some things you shouldn’t do in broad daylight.

Lest someone comes along and ruins the mood.

Case in point.

Just as the two were locked in a passionate embrace, a knock came from the courtyard gate.

Fortunately, Leng Yuan had locked the gate after the two children went out. Otherwise, whoever it was might have just pushed it open and seen something they weren’t supposed to.

Gu Jiaojiao’s body had gone limp. Hearing the knock, she gave Leng Yuan a light push.

Leng Yuan steadied his breathing and straightened Gu Jiaojiao’s clothes before going to open the gate.

Outside, Chen JianShe was holding a wild duck, which he lifted up with an expression like he was presenting a priceless treasure.

"Brother Leng, I had amazing luck today! I found a wild duck in the reed marsh."

In fact, there had also been a nest with seven or eight duck eggs, but he’d taken those home for his mother.

He knew the duck would be flavorful when stewed, so he’d brought it over to Leng Yuan.

Chen JianShe grinned good-naturedly, feeling his luck was truly unbelievable.

He looked up and saw the chilly expression on his Brother Leng’s face, and scratched his head in confusion.

"Brother Leng, what’s wrong?"

’Why does he look so angry?’

’I haven’t done anything wrong recently, have I?’

Leng Yuan fought the urge to drag Chen JianShe out for a beating. The guy had absolutely no ability to read a room. Leng Yuan seriously suspected his eyes were just for decoration.

"Come in."

Tossing the word curtly at Chen JianShe, Leng Yuan turned and walked away.
