Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Three days later.

Bobai County Bus Station.

Deng Shirong walked out of the bus station with Liu Aihong, Aihong's mother, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu.

In this era, when rural people came to the city for the first time, they must be full of curiosity about the living environment in the county. Liu Aihong and the four of them were no exception. They followed the matchmaker Deng Shirong out of the station and began to look around.

Then, when I saw that the roads outside were all paved asphalt residue roads, with bicycles and motor vehicles passing by from time to time, and there were four- and five-story buildings in the distance, I inevitably felt like "It deserves to be a county town."

Deng Shirong waited for them to recover, then smiled and said, "Biao, let's go, let's go directly to the hotel."

Aihong's mother asked: "Uncle Jiu, he works in a hotel now. If we go directly to the hotel, will it affect his work?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "At eleven or twelve o'clock at noon, there will be more diners in the hotel. It is almost one o'clock now. Very few diners come to the restaurant to eat at this time, so if we go there now, it will not affect his work."

Aihong's mother nodded and said, "That's good. Uncle Jiu, please lead the way."

"Yes, come with me!"

After saying that, Deng Shirong took the lead and walked along Nanjie Road towards the Suifeng Hotel on Xicheng Road.

Liu Aihong and the other four followed behind, looking at the surrounding environment as they walked. Everything they saw in the county felt new.

It was actually not that far from the bus station to Suifeng Hotel. The five of them walked for about ten minutes and arrived at the door of Suifeng Hotel.

The moment they saw Suifeng Hotel, Liu Aihong and the others were shocked!

Although Deng Shirong had mentioned before that the man worked in the largest hotel in the county, the term "the largest hotel in the county" was a very general description for Liu Aihong and others, and they had no idea at all.

But now the hotel stands in front of them, giving them the most intuitive feeling. You can imagine the shock in their hearts.

Sister-in-law Liu exclaimed: "Oh my god, this hotel is so big!"

Aihong's mother said in shock: "So this is the largest hotel in the county. It's dozens of times bigger than Shuangwang's state-owned hotel."

Sister-in-law Liu was also shocked. She poked the sister-in-law next to her with her hand and said with envy: "Third sister, if you follow him, you can work in this restaurant. This is so enviable. !”

Hearing what her second sister-in-law said, Liu Aihong looked at the majestic hotel in front of her, and her heart was extremely hot. She was also looking forward to working here. She hoped that the other party would like her and not dislike her. This might It was the best person she could come into contact with in her life.

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Let's go in!"

…

Suifeng Hotel.

At this time, most of the diners had already eaten and left, and there were still three tables of diners drinking and chatting.

At the cashier, Deng Yuntai, Zhang Xiuping, Deng Yunzhen, Deng Shilan, Bu Erzhu and others gathered together to chat.

Deng Shilan and Bu Erzhu came to the county town yesterday. After seeing their brother's restaurant, even though they were well prepared, they were still shocked. No wonder the brother had to invest so much money in it. This hotel is indeed a big one. To the point of outrageous.

With the arrival of the two of them, everyone knew that the woman would have a blind date with Bu Dashi at the hotel tomorrow, and everyone's interest was greatly increased. Even in later generations, watching people go on a blind date is a very interesting thing, and it goes without saying that in this era, no one wants to miss it when there is such excitement.

While waiting for the woman to arrive, Deng Yuntai said: "I don't know what Dad is thinking. Why do you still let us pretend that we don't know him?"

Zhang Xiuping thought for a while and said: "Maybe dad doesn't want to reveal too much in front of the woman, which affects her judgment. When the two parties meet and the woman has a clear attitude, I guess dad won't have to hide it anymore. these things.”

Deng Yunzhen nodded and said: "Sister-in-law, your analysis makes sense. Dad definitely wants to find a woman suitable for cousin Dashi to live with. If these things are exposed in advance, the woman will definitely agree, and the meaning of the blind date will be lost. ”

Deng Yuntai thought of his marriage and said, "I don't even know what it feels like to be on a blind date."

Deng Yunzhen rolled her eyes at her brother and said: "Brother, you are so good at taking advantage of me. For a beautiful girl like my sister-in-law, if your father doesn't say good things to you, let you go directly to meet your sister-in-law. Can your sister-in-law like you?" , it’s still an unknown number!”

Deng Yuntai said speechlessly: "Azhen, have you ever ignored your brother like this?"

Deng Yunzhen said innocently: "Brother, I'm just telling the truth. How can I bury you? Haven't you ever looked in the mirror?"

Zhang Xiuping couldn't help but laugh.

The brother and sister laughed and joked for a while. Seeing the third eldest aunt and the third eldest uncle staring outside, Deng Yuntai couldn't help laughing and said: "Third aunt, third uncle, don't be anxious, go sit over there and wait slowly. !”

Deng Shilan sighed and said, "Oh, how can we not be in a hurry? Your cousin is already 23 this year!"

In later generations, 23-year-olds just entered society, and many people only started to think about marriage when they were nearly 30 years old. But in this era, 23-year-olds really make parents very anxious. After all, nine out of ten people of the same age in the village are already married and have children. .

Just when Deng Yuntai was about to say something, Zhang Xiuping suddenly shouted: "Here we come, people are here!"

After everyone heard this, they all looked outside.

Then, I saw Deng Shirong walking in front, followed by four women.

The older one should be the woman's mother or aunt. The other two women who look like young women at first glance should be the woman's two sisters-in-law. As for the one who is dressed plainly and has a ponytail, she looks quite delicate. The girl should be the one who came here for the blind date this time.

Soon, Deng Shirong walked in with someone.

When the two parties met, Deng Shirong helped introduce: "Let me introduce to you, these are Bu Dashi's parents, this is Liu Aihong, this is her mother, this is her eldest sister-in-law, and this is the second sister-in-law."

The two parties greeted each other politely, and Deng Shirong guided them to sit in the box.

After sitting down in the box, Zhang Xiuping came over personally bringing tea.

Deng Shirong said: "Biao, you guys have a cup of tea first. Dashi should be in the kitchen. I'll call him over."

Arriving at such a "luxury" hotel, Aihong Ma and others were a little restrained, so they just nodded and said yes.

Naturally, Deng Shilan couldn't let the atmosphere cool down. She asked with concern: "Relatives, you guys came up on the bus, didn't you get motion sickness?"

Aihong's mother said: "Fortunately, none of us got motion sickness, but when we were on the shuttle bus, we saw someone who was motion sick. They were vomiting so badly that it was scary to see. I didn't expect that someone could vomit like this just by sitting in a car."

Deng Shilan said: "This person is different from other people. Before there were cars, I heard that some people got so dizzy when riding on a boat. I have never been on a boat so I don't know what it is like, but I don't get dizzy when riding in a car. I should." You won’t get dizzy even if you’re on a boat!”

Aihong's mother smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter to us whether we get sick when riding in a car or on a boat. This is the first time I've taken a shuttle bus in my decades of life. As for taking a boat, if it's those small bamboo rafts, then I’ve been on it before, but if I have to take a big ship, I probably won’t have that opportunity in my life.”

Deng Shilan smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true. The country has changed a lot in the past two years. No one knows what it will be like in the future."

While he was talking, Deng Shirong had already come in with his nephew Bu Dashi.

The moment she saw Bu Dashi, Liu Aihong, who had been uneasy in her heart, finally felt relieved. He was a healthy man. Although he was not good-looking, his facial features had no obvious flaws, and his simple and honest appearance made people feel at ease.

Aihong's mother also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The man's conditions were so good, but he was still not married at the age of 23. She was also afraid that he would have some shortcomings. No matter how satisfied she was, she could not push her daughter into the hot bed.

Now that she saw the person, she finally felt relieved.

Deng Shirong introduced them again, and after they greeted each other, the waiter began to serve the dishes.

Ready-made dishes such as white-cut chicken, white-cut pork trotters, and white-cut pork belly can be cut and served directly, so the speed is naturally very fast.

Because Deng Shirong had already talked about the situation of both parties, there was no need to talk about these repeated topics when we met now, so during the meal, Deng Shirong led the conversation and talked about the Liu family's use of their free time to weave bamboo products.

"A Biao, I went to your house that day and saw that your whole family was knitting things. Your craftsmanship looks pretty good. You should be able to make a lot of money from those bamboo weavings, right?"

Aihong's mother shook her head and said: "We just use our free time to compile it, and the compilation is relatively slow, and we sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative. We won't make much money in a month, but if you are idle, you will be idle. If you can make a little, it will be a little." , no matter how much or how little you earn, it is still an income.”

Deng Shirong said: "If your family has this skill, you can work in factories. There are still many Mangzhu weaving factories now."

Aihong’s mother said: “We have thought about this too, but there is no mangzhu knitting factory in our village. Someone in our brigade has opened a mangzhu knitting factory, but it is quite far from our village. If you go there to work, you don’t know how long it will take to get back and forth. How much time is wasted, and the salary at work is not necessarily higher than making it up at home, so I have never worked in a factory. "

Deng Shilan asked: "Relative, are there many people in your village who are good at weaving bamboo?"

Aihong's mother said: "There are quite a lot. Many families in our village now use their free time to make things at home. After they accumulate for a period of time, they can sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative together."

Deng Shilan said: "Then you can set up a bamboo weaving factory in the village and pool the efforts of the whole village to work on it. You should make more money than you do now."

Aihong's mother smiled and said: "Many people in the village have this idea, but no one has ever done it. The main reason is that there is no market. If we open a factory and the knitted goods are still sold to the supply and marketing cooperative, then opening this factory will not take off our pants and fart!" "
