Chen Shouyi walked to the window, opened it, and found the streetlights had become brightly lit after changing the bulbs. This scene, which used to be quite commonplace, now seemed like the light before dawn, carrying a unique charm.
He noticed that even in the villa area, not many residents had installed electric lights; most were still using dim gasoline lamps.
As for ordinary residential areas, it goes without saying—they were mostly pitch black, with even gasoline lamps being a rare sight.
At present, electric lights were clearly still a luxury item.
Even in this era, ordinary people couldn't enjoy the convenience brought by electricity for quite a long time.
Nowadays, it's not even a time of peace where industrial electricity is stopped to ensure residential use.
With limited power supply, after satisfying the electricity needs for communication and streetlights, next comes industry, especially military industry. Residential electricity comes last.
