Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

After talking about the clan leader, Deng Shirong and Deng Shian walked to the wooden shed to watch TV with the villagers.

The position was reserved long ago. In the words of later generations, it was the best C position.

At eight o'clock, the first Spring Festival Gala officially started.

In the previous life, the entire Bangjie brigade did not have televisions, and Deng Shirong had not watched the first Spring Festival Gala. Although there were resources for the first Spring Festival Gala online in later generations, the Spring Festival Gala at that time was no longer so attractive to him due to various reasons. Big.

Therefore, from beginning to end, Deng Shirong never watched the first Spring Festival Gala.

Now that he has been reborn and has the opportunity to watch the first Spring Festival Gala, Deng Shirong is also very interested.

First, the host made an opening speech, then introduced the guests present, then the cross talk master Hou Baolin gave a speech, and finally, the host represented his industry and expressed New Year greetings to the people across the country.

At this point, the show officially begins.

The first program was a New Year's greeting song sung by Mr. Li, a singer from the Central Orchestra.

This big shot created a record that will never be broken in the history of the Spring Festival Gala. She sang a total of nine songs in the first Spring Festival Gala. In addition to the New Year's greeting song at the beginning, she also sang eight consecutive songs directly after it, which can be said to shock the past and the present. , no one can compare.

Among them, the six consecutive songs "Song of Spring", "Greetings to the Motherland", "A Bamboo Pole", "Young Friend", "Friends" and "Hometown Love" are her solos, followed closely by the duet of the song "Liu Sanjie" As well as the Peking Opera duet of "Niu Gao Seeking a Marriage", which she sung with others.

In later generations, no matter how big a singer is, they will not be able to sing more than three songs in a row on the Spring Festival Gala, let alone sing the opening song and then sing eight consecutive songs. This is a miracle that will never happen again. .

In addition to singing, the first Spring Festival Gala is also a hodgepodge of various elements.

For example, quizzes, cross talk, sketches, poetry recitation, pantomime, Peking opera, dance, magic, acrobatics, martial arts, etc.

They even played outtakes from the video movie "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", as well as clips from the video movies "Walking Behind the Curtain" and "Wulin Chronicles". In particular, the entire film "Martial Arts Chronicles" was still being shot, so a clip was played during the Spring Festival Gala.

This kind of Spring Festival Gala is an eye-opener for both Deng Shirong, who has experienced the Spring Festival Gala in later generations, and the villagers who are exposed to the Spring Festival Gala for the first time.

The villagers had never had the opportunity to see such a wonderful cultural show before. They immediately forgot the time when they saw it. It was not until the New Year's bell rang on the TV and the firecrackers in the village also rang that the villagers present suddenly woke up. , it turns out that it is already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and I have to go home and set off firecrackers.

The show was still going on, and although many villagers were reluctant to part with it, it was still a bit shameful not to set off firecrackers at home at twelve o'clock, so they could only rush home with their benches in hand.

However, there are still some young people who don't care about this. Since their elders are here anyway, it doesn't matter whether they go back or not, so they simply don't go back and stay to continue watching the show.

Deng Shirong asked his eldest son to set off a firecracker and continued watching the show.

It was not until the end of the Spring Festival Gala that the remaining villagers returned home with their benches in hand.

Although it is already very late at this time, staying up late tonight is a custom across the country. Even if you don't stay up all night, it is normal to go to bed later.

Therefore, Deng Shirong and his family were not in a hurry to go to bed. Everyone was hungry at such a late hour, so they definitely needed some late-night snacks. After eating, they needed time to digest, so it was natural to continue chatting by the fire.

…

The second day of the Lunar New Year is a time to visit relatives. Daughters-in-law in the village will take their husbands and children back to their parents' homes.

After breakfast, Deng Yuntai, Deng Changyuan and Deng Changdong each rode their bicycles and carried their wives and children to Poxin Village.

The bicycle Deng Changdong rides is borrowed from Deng Yuntai's family, but the bicycle Deng Changyuan rides is bought by himself last year. After all, he is also a vat master at the cylinder tile factory. As long as he performs normally, he can easily earn more than two hundred yuan a month. Buying a bicycle is naturally not a big pressure for him.

The gifts they brought were tied to tripods in the front, their wives sat in the back seat, and their children were carried in slings.

After chatting all the way, it was already around 11 o'clock in the morning when we arrived at Poxin Village.

After arriving at the village, the troops were divided into three groups.

When Deng Yuntai brought his wife and children to his father-in-law's house, Zhang Shoushan, who was sitting at the door playing with a slingshot, happily shouted into the house: "Dad, Mom, my sister and brother-in-law are here!"

As soon as Deng Yuntai parked his bicycle, he saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law coming out of the house. He quickly said hello: "Dad, Mom, happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Sister, brother-in-law, happy New Year!"

The two parties greeted each other, and Zhang Xiuping took off her strap and said, "Xiao Dong'er, call grandpa and grandma!"

Because I didn’t have much education at home, after hearing this, Xiaodong’er shouted in a sweet voice: “Grandpa, grandma!”

"Hey, Xiaodong'er is so good, come and let grandma give her a hug!"

"Xiao Dong'er, I am your uncle, do you still remember me?"

"Uncle!"

"So good!"

"..."

A few minutes later.

Deng Yuntai sat next to the fire to warm himself while chatting with his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law.

As for the mother-in-law, she went to the kitchen to make tea and fry the rice. Zhang Xiuping went in with Xiao Dong'er in her arms to talk to her mother.

Deng Yuntai asked: "Dad, have the eldest brother and the second brother accompanied my sister-in-law back to their parents' home?"

Zhang Zhenfa nodded and said: "Well, they have gone back to their parents' home with their wives to visit relatives, but they know that you will come today, so they probably won't stay there overnight and will be back in the afternoon."

Deng Yuntai smiled and said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry. We're not leaving that quickly anyway. We'll definitely have to stay for two or three days."

Zhang Zhenfa said: "You are now in charge of such a big hotel in the county. They are afraid that you don't have time, so they thought of going there and returning the same day."

As for the son-in-law’s restaurant, Zhang Zhenfa and his wife have never seen it.

When Zhang's mother accompanied her daughter to the county town to give birth, the hotel had not yet started construction. After that, Zhang's mother never went to the county town again, so naturally she had no chance to see her son-in-law's restaurant.

But when Ou Guohua's mother accompanied her daughter to the county town to give birth, the hotel was under construction, and the general framework had been built. She knew how big the hotel was. When she came back and told Zhang's mother, the Zhang family naturally That’s it.

Knowing that their son-in-law's family had opened such a large restaurant, the Zhang family were very curious. If they were not busy with business, they would have wanted to go to the county town to have a look.

Deng Yuntai said: "If you have time, the business of the hotel at the beginning of the year will definitely not be much better, so we discussed it and decided to wait until the 15th day of the month before opening the door, so that we can have a good New Year at home without having to rush. "

Zhang Shoujun asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, I heard Sister Ahua's mother come back and say that your hotel is dozens of times bigger than the state-owned hotel in Longtan, and it has three floors. Is this true?"

Deng Yuntai smiled and said: "My hotel is indeed not small. It covers an area of ​​more than a thousand square meters. It is more than ten times larger than the largest state-owned hotel in the county. The building does have three floors, but the hotel only occupies the first floor. The second and third floors are still empty. What they will be used for in the future, my dad didn’t say, and I don’t know.”

Although they had heard about it a long time ago, the Zhang family and his son couldn't help but take a breath of air when they heard Deng Yuntai's confirmation.

Zhang Zhenfa couldn't help but ask: "Yuntai, how much money did your dad invest in such a big hotel?"

Deng Yuntai didn't hide anything and answered directly: "I heard from my dad that a total of more than 300,000 yuan was invested in it."

"hiss……"

The Zhang family and his son once again provided a little help for the warming weather. This number is really too scary. Even though the value of the current ten thousand yuan household has declined and is not as good as two or three years ago, but more than three hundred thousand, It is still an unimaginable wealth for the Zhang family and his son.

It is simply outrageous to invest so much money into opening a restaurant.

You know, just two years ago, their family hesitated for a long time to invest a few hundred yuan to open a store. In the end, it was his daughter's persuasion that convinced him, and Zhang Zhenfa dared to make up his mind to start this business.

Compared to his in-laws, the courage of both parties is completely different.

"Yuntai, is this a restaurant your dad opened with a loan?" Although his words were inquiring, Zhang Zhenfa was already 100% sure that what he said was right. After all, no matter how rich his in-laws were, they would never have I have enough money to spend more than 300,000 yuan to open a restaurant.

Under the influence of his father, Deng Yuntai did not think it was a shameful thing to go to the bank for a loan, so he nodded and said, "Yes, my father borrowed the money from the credit union."

"The hotel has been open for a while, how is the business?"

"We operated it for seven months last year and the business was pretty good."

Weng and his son-in-law asked and answered questions, while the two brothers-in-law sat nearby and listened. They were almost stunned by the news revealed by their brother-in-law. Their family just spent a few hundred yuan to open a small shop on Longtan Street. The shop is already very popular in the village.

But compared to my brother-in-law’s house, it’s nothing worth mentioning.

In the kitchen, the mother and daughter had a similar conversation. Mother Zhang was also so frightened that she almost couldn't even fry a fish.

When the fried zhen was brought out to eat, Mother Zhang could no longer suppress her curiosity and said, "Old man, why don't we go to the county town and have a look together before the fifteenth day of the month?"

Knowing that his daughter and son-in-law were running such a big restaurant, Zhang Zhenfa felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching his heart if he didn't take a look in person. Hearing the old woman's suggestion, he immediately agreed: "Okay, then we'll wait until fifteen Just go to the county seat and have a look.”

Zhang Xiuping laughed when she heard this and said: "Dad, Mom, then take the eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, Xiaojun Xiaoshan and the children, and let's go up and have a look together!"

Deng Yuntai quickly expressed his position: "I will arrange the place to live."

Zhang Shoujun and Zhang Shoushan's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they wanted to agree immediately, but they couldn't make the decision, so they could only look at their parents.

Zhang Zhenfa and his wife looked at each other, feeling a little moved.

Zhang's mother had lived in the county town. She said with some concern: "Yuntai, with so many of us going up there, how can we fit in that two-story building!"

Deng Yuntai said with a smile: "My cousin also bought a house in the county last year. The house is now empty and no one lives in it. He has three rooms and several old beds. Then he only needs to buy a few mats and quilts. You can stay here for as long as you want. ”

Mother Zhang felt relieved now and nodded: "Okay, let's discuss it then. If it's suitable, we can find time to go up there and stay for a few days."

After talking about her son-in-law's restaurant, Zhang's mother told her daughter and son-in-law about preparing a new house at home.

When Zhang Xiuping heard this, she naturally agreed with both hands. She didn't mind the problem of food and accommodation for her parents' family. After all, she had grown up here since she was a child and had long been used to it. What she was not used to was the problem of diarrhea. Any normal person would reject the smelly shit lake after using a clean and odorless bathroom.

In fact, in order not to smell that smell from her husband, she took her husband to the open-air toilet every time she returned to her parents' home.

Although this was indeed more exciting, she didn't want this kind of stimulation.

If your parents' family builds a new house and has a bathroom installed, then next time you go back to your parents' house, you won't have to go out to seek excitement.

At noon, Zhang's mother killed chickens and ducks, and prepared a large table of delicious food to entertain her daughter and son-in-law.

In the afternoon, the eldest brother, sister-in-law and second brother and sister-in-law also rushed back one after another, which inevitably caused another bustle.

…

Just when the villagers in Bobai County were busy visiting relatives, the movie "Shaolin Temple" came out. Once it was screened, it caused a huge sensation in the entire Bobai County. The streets were packed with people. People rushed to tell each other and poured in. Cinemas in county towns and major communes.

In fact, this movie was released as early as last year and caused a huge sensation across the country. However, due to various reasons, Bobai County did not successfully obtain the film until the end of last year.

Only those who have experienced this era personally can know how influential this movie is.

It is said that before the movie "Shaolin Temple" was broadcast, the real Shaolin Temple was desolate. According to the memories of the crew, when they first came to the Shaolin Temple, the grass on the mountain was more than one meter high, and there was no road at all.

There are only a few old monks in the temple, and the body of the Clay Bodhisattva has collapsed in half.

After "Shaolin Temple" became popular across the country, this thousand-year-old temple with overgrown grass, crumbling clay statues, and few monks suddenly became a holy place in the hearts of many people.

There are too many children like Baoqiang who, in consultation with their parents or without telling their parents, go to Songshan Mountain to learn Shaolin Kung Fu in order to uphold justice, punish evil and promote good. Shaolin Temple is surrounded by tourists who come here for its fame. Even in the 1980s and 1990s, it received hundreds of thousands of tourists every day.

Even for the purpose of diversion and development, Dengfeng County, where the Shaolin Temple is located, was upgraded to a city. The city's tourism economy ranks among the best in Henan. A typical movie brings about earth-shaking changes to a place.

At the same time, it also made the starring actor popular all over the country, laying a solid foundation for the title of Kung Fu Emperor.

In short, this movie has set so many incredible records that it is estimated that no other movie will have such a big impact.

…

The Shuangwang Cinema was full and could no longer satisfy the people's enthusiasm for watching movies. Upon seeing this, the major projection teams actively copied the films and contacted various production teams. Whichever production team was willing to pay, they would go to that production team. Go play.

Under this background, the Naye production team naturally could not lag behind. On the night of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, they paid for people from the screening team to come and show the movie "Shaolin Temple".

Good guy, all the men, women and children in the village were excited to see it.

By the tenth day of the first lunar month, all the production teams under the Bangjie Brigade had watched "Shaolin Temple", and the trend slowly subsided.

…

The twelfth day of the first lunar month, afternoon.

Naye Deng held a clan meeting at Bangjie Brigade.

This was notified several days in advance. Although not every household sent people to participate, each village sent a large number of representatives.

The entire Bangjie Brigade is dominated by people with the surname Deng, so there are many villages with the surname Deng, including Guanchong, Meitian, Shejiao, Macun, Yutang, Jimaoling, Dalingjiao, Daozhang, Hepingpai, Poding , Yangdipo, Zhadu, Naye, Shanggaoxing, Old House, New House, Shanying, Longjing, Tangtan, Bangba and so on.

These are all villages with the surname Deng. Each village has 20 or 30 representatives, and there are 400 to 500 people.

When everyone was almost here, the leader of the clan, Deng Shian, came to the stage to speak: "Dear brothers and nephews in the clan, I called you all to come over for a clan meeting today, mainly because I want to discuss with you the successor to the clan leader."

As soon as I listened to the beginning, I started to explode.

"Secretary, what do you mean by this? Are you no longer the leader of our clan?"

"Secretary, aren't you a good leader of the clan? Why do you suddenly have to hold a clan meeting to discuss the successor?"

"Secretary, did something happen?"

"secretary……"

Deng Shi'an stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly. After everyone calmed down, he said with a smile: "Don't get excited, everyone. Nothing happened. It's just that I'm getting older and my body is getting worse day by day. I'll take advantage of the fact that I still have enough energy." , first select the new leader of our Yedeng clan, so that even if I am gone one day, I can still be worthy of my ancestors. "

As soon as these words came out, the tribesmen were speechless.

After all, in this era, there were not many people in the village who could live past sixty. The leader of the clan was already over sixty years old, so it was normal for him to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.

"Deng Mangong, the ancestor of our Deng family, was named Deyang and was a native of Nanyang, Henan Province today."

At such an important moment as the handover of the clan head, Deng Shi'an naturally wanted to briefly talk about the history of the Naye Deng clan: "Deng Man's surname is Man. During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, he assisted his nephew King Wu Ding in governing the country and was granted the title of Marquis in the Deng Kingdom. (Chinese history calls Man surnamed Deng Guo), which has a history of more than 3,300 years."

When the clan leader introduced the history of the Naye Deng clan, all the clan members, including Deng Shirong, listened quietly.

"The Deng Kingdom went through 22 emperors from the Shang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty. It was destroyed by the Chu Kingdom more than 670 years later. The descendants of Man Gong took the country as their surname. This is the origin of our surname Deng."

As the leader of the Naye Deng clan, Deng Shi'an naturally had to spend some time researching this, so he really talked about the history of the clan: "During the Jinwu period, due to wars or official transfers and other reasons, 57 The ancestor Yougong, whose courtesy name was Bodao, moved to Geteng'ao, Shibizhai, Ninghua County, Tingzhou, Fujian. In the 91st century, the ancestor Yugong became a Jinshi and was in the official department. He moved to Fuzhou and settled in Zhuji Lane, Putian County.

In the third year of Yuanyou of the Song Dynasty (1088), the 93rd generation ancestor Tiao Gong moved from Fujian to Deng Yinpo, Shangjing, Lianjiang, Guangdong to start a business.

The 94th generation ancestor Kang Wokong knew that the place in Youfang Cave in Lianjiang had "green mountains and green waters, and the five elements were perfect", so he moved to Youfang from Shangjing.

The 96th generation ancestor Zhiyuan Gong, whose courtesy name was Faxian, was descended from the Lan family and had four sons. He was the founding ancestor of our Nayedeng family. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty (around 1500 AD), he took his wife and children and raised his family. Moved from Youfangdong to Naples Bishishi, and later moved to Naye Luoye to settle down because the house was too small.

The 97th Duke Wenming was the first great ancestor of the Ye Deng family. I guess everyone knows what happens next, so I won’t say more. "

Only a few tribesmen present knew the history of the tribe. Most of the tribesmen only knew that the Yedeng family moved from Shangjing and Oil House. They didn’t know what happened further up. Now they heard the tribe leader say this. After talking about it, I realized that the ancestor of the Deng family was actually from Henan, which was really strange.

Deng Shi'an briefly talked about the history of the Naye Deng family, and briefly mentioned the development of the Deng family in the Bangjie Brigade. Then he invited Deng Shirong to the stage and said: "Now, I recommend the ninth Deng Shirong to be our... The head of the Yedeng clan, I believe that under his leadership, our Yedeng clan will develop better and better, what do you think?"

If he is recommending other tribesmen to be the leader of the tribe, Deng Shian will definitely not use such a simple and crude method, because if there are not many people who agree, or if there are tribesmen who object on the spot, it will have a big impact on his prestige. of blow.

Therefore, the best way is to communicate with everyone in private first, and then recommend it after gaining the support of the majority of the tribe.

But the person Deng Shi'an recommended was Laojiu Deng Shirong, so there was no need to find someone to vent his feelings in private, because with Laojiu's prestige in the clan, he would definitely be the leader of the clan and no one would have any objections.

Facts have proved that Deng Shian's idea was right.

"It turns out that Jiu Gong is the leader of the clan. I agree with this."

"I am 100% convinced that Uncle Jiu will be the leader of the clan."

"Indeed, there is no more suitable candidate for the head of our Yedeng clan than Jiu Gong."

"..."

Hundreds of clan members in the audience knew that the new clan leader was Deng Shirong, and every one of them expressed their approval.

Deng Shi'an had long expected that making Lao Jiu the leader of the clan would go very smoothly, but seeing the reaction of the clansmen, he still sighed in his heart. This prestige was really unparalleled. If he hadn't been blessed by the status of secretary of the brigade, he probably wouldn't have been able to do so. His prestige in the clan is not as good as that of Lao Jiu.

"Okay, since everyone has no objections, let me announce that from now on, the leader of our Yedeng clan will be Lao Jiu. Please invite our new leader to speak."

Hearing this, applause and shouts immediately broke out at the scene.

Deng Shirong stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly. After everyone calmed down, he said: "Thanks to the old clan leader for his recommendation, and also to all clan members for their trust. Since you are willing to let me be the clan leader, I will definitely try my best to lead you." Get rid of poverty and become rich.”
