Entertainment and culture in those days started with cultural propaganda teams.

Chapter 14 New Discoveries of Portable Houses

Xu Yang looked at Liu Xiaoli's fair and delicate hand, and then took it in his hand.

It felt warm, not cold at all.

People who dance all day tend to have more energy and blood.

"Xiaoli, it's a deal!"

Liu Xiaoli nodded vigorously and smiled, "It's a deal."

As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Liu Xiaoli immediately released her grip, took a half step back, a blush still lingering on her ears, but her expression quickly returned to normal.

"Third Aunt and Third Uncle are back," she whispered, then quickly walked out of the room.

Xu Yang followed behind her, and when they reached the living room, he saw He Hui standing at the door, followed by a tall, middle-aged man.

The man was about forty-five or forty-six years old, wearing a dark gray Zhongshan suit, with the top button of the collar fastened meticulously.

His face was square, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose, and lips pressed into a line. Just standing there, he exuded an aura of authority without being angry.

But when he saw Liu Xiaoli, a gentle smile immediately appeared in his serious eyes.

"Xiaoli, how was the rehearsal today? Did Teacher Fang praise you again?" His voice was deep and resonant, with the distinctive tone of an old cadre, but the doting affection in his tone was undeniable.

"Third Uncle, you're just making fun of me," Liu Xiaoli said reproachfully, then stepped aside to let Xu Yang pass.

"Xu Yang, this is my third uncle, Liu Jianye."

"Third Uncle, this is Comrade Xu Yang."

Liu Jianye's gaze fell on Xu Yang, and he looked him up and down.

Xu Yang stood there calmly, letting him look him over without flinching or avoiding his gaze, his expression composed.

"Hello, Uncle Liu." He took the initiative to speak, bowing slightly, showing good manners.

Liu Jianye nodded, his scrutiny gradually turning into satisfaction.

"The young man looks very energetic, even more so than Xiaoli and the others described." He patted Xu Yang on the shoulder; his hand was thick and heavy, with considerable force.

"Our whole family remembers how we saved Xiaoli. If you ever have any difficulties in the future, please don't hesitate to ask.

"Also, I've read your novel 'The Horse Herder,' and it's very well written. Ah Hui has already sent the manuscript out and even called the editorial department there."

Xu Yang was surprised by He Hui's efficiency and immediately expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much, Aunt Hui. You've gone to so much trouble."

He Hui immediately said gently, "Silly child, you're being too polite by saying that."

"Don't worry too much about the amnesia. We'll continue to help you investigate your identity."

"But you can stay here without worry until the results are found."

"As for the propaganda team, there's a recruitment assessment in three days. You can go and participate together then."

Xu Yang nodded and said earnestly, "Don't worry, Aunt Hui, I will definitely prepare well."

He Hui smiled slightly, without revealing that Xu Yang had already been chosen.

Liu Jianye, who was standing nearby, said, "You just came out of the hospital, you still need to rest well, so we won't disturb you any longer."

Liu Xiaoli quickly added, "Then I'll go upstairs to rest too. Don't write too late, after all, you've just been discharged from the hospital."

"Yes, I will," Xu Yang said with a smile, then watched the three of them go upstairs.

He closed the door after everyone had gone up.

After returning to his room, he summoned his personal dwelling and prepared to go inside.

This portable house has three bedrooms, one living room, two bathrooms, and one kitchen; he has never been inside the other two rooms.

It wasn't very convenient to check before, but it's different now.

He's staying at the Liu family's house, so he shouldn't be disturbed.

Once inside, the warm orange light from outside streamed into the lobby through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He went to the third room, which had previously been occupied by another tenant, but the tenant had already packed up and was preparing to move out.

Xu Yang put his hand on the doorknob and tried to open it.

"It really wasn't locked! That's great!"

He originally thought he would need to put in some effort to pry it open.

To my surprise, the door wasn't locked.

After opening the door and going inside, Xu Yang saw rows of neatly packed cardboard boxes, more than a dozen in total.

This was originally the master bedroom of the house, which had an ensuite bathroom and was also the largest room.

It has now been cleaned up and is very clean.

"Since we can't go back now, I'll just borrow these things for now."

"If I have the chance to go back in the future, I will definitely compensate the tenants."

As he spoke, Xu Yang prepared to open the boxes.

Just then, Xu Yang noticed a camping trailer in the room, with a box next to it.

"Outdoor battery?"

"This guy actually has an outdoor battery, that's great."

He quickly went to the table and took a look.

"Wow, it even has a 5.5 kWh battery! That's awesome!" Xu Yang exclaimed excitedly.

Originally, he was worried about where to get a generator.

Now that he has this 8-kilowatt-hour outdoor battery, he doesn't need to rush to build a generator.

You can simply take this outdoor battery outside to charge it. With its large 8 kWh capacity, it can last for one or two days if you're only using it for lighting and charging your laptop.

Furthermore, the camping trailer also has solar panels, which are probably for charging outdoor batteries.

With this system, most of his electricity problems can be solved.

Xu Yang picked up the outdoor battery and weighed it; it must have weighed at least forty or fifty pounds.

It is solidly built, with a metal casing, and an LCD screen on the front that displays the remaining battery level—68%.

"It should last for a while."

He carefully placed the battery in the corner and then examined the solar panels in the trailer.

It's a folding type, with four pieces in total, which can be unfolded to cover most of the balcony.

The complete set of cables, adapters, and MPPT controller were all included and well-preserved, packaged in waterproof canvas.

"This tenant is a man of principle."

"I'll lay it out on the balcony first and see if I can charge it directly tomorrow. If I can, I won't have to worry about electricity anymore."

Xu Yang acted immediately upon hearing the word and took immediate action.

Xu Yang took the folding solar panels out of the trailer one by one and carried them to the balcony.

The four boards stacked together were quite heavy, and he had to make two trips to get them all in place.

There's an open space on the balcony that faces the sun.

He unfolded the boards one by one, adjusted the orientation according to his memory, and then connected the controller and outdoor battery with the matching cables.

Then he connected the electricity to the indoor meter box.

Then, the lights in the room came on.

"It works! Let's see if it can charge smoothly tomorrow," Xu Yang said happily.

He didn't think it was a big problem, since the light could come in through the balcony window and it certainly wouldn't affect charging.

At most, the effect is somewhat poor.

However, he felt that using it for lighting and charging laptops and mobile phones, which consume little power, was not a problem at all.
