Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Deng Shirong's family.

Deng Silong said excitedly: "Jiuzu, my mother said that you asked us to learn to drive, and after we got our driver's license, she arranged for us to drive a shuttle bus. Is this true?"

Deng Shirong smiled and nodded, and said: "Of course it's true. I won't tell you more about the specific situation. Anyway, if you are interested in driving a shuttle bus, then I will take you to the county town tomorrow to learn how to drive. Wait until you finish the lesson." There will definitely be a shuttle bus for you when you come back, don’t worry.”

Although he has not yet communicated with other clan members, with his prestige in the clan, as long as he is willing to take the lead, nothing is impossible.

Therefore, he would arrange for the clan members to learn how to drive in advance. When they come back after completing their studies, the clan's passenger transport company will probably start operating. At that time, he will first hire a group of experienced drivers to take them and the novices with them. By now, you can be on your own.

Calculated based on the starting number of ten shuttle buses, for long-distance travel, one shuttle bus must be equipped with at least two drivers, which can accommodate all twenty tribesmen.

What's more, ten shuttle buses are just the beginning. If you want to dominate half of the long-distance passenger transport in the county, you will need to add dozens or even hundreds of shuttle buses in the future. By then, just the driver and the conductor who will follow the bus will be able to provide at least Hundreds of jobs.

"I'm interested, of course I'm interested!"

Deng Silong was afraid that if he answered slowly, Jiuzu would change his mind. After getting excited, he asked with some anxiety: "Jiuzu, I don't know how much tuition it will cost to learn to drive?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone else looked at Deng Shirong worriedly. The twenty people present were all from poor families. If the tuition required to learn to drive was too high, their families might not be able to afford it, and they would have to shamelessly ask relatives to borrow it. Just fine.

Deng Shirong naturally knew this situation. He said: "Your families here are all in relatively difficult circumstances, especially Aaron, Ah Hu and Ah Bao. Your family is already in difficulty. It is really not easy to pay for the tuition fees of you three brothers." , so I will help you pay the tuition fees first, and when you come back from your studies and start working to make money, it will not be too late to pay it back to me. "

"Thank you Jiuzu!"

"Thank you Jiu Gong!"

Everyone couldn't help but say thank you when they heard this, and their gratitude to Jiu Gong (ancestor) had reached the extreme.

…

The next day.

Deng Shirong personally took 20 of his clansmen to the county town to learn how to drive. He also went to take a motorcycle driving license test. After all, it was already 1983. In a year or two, he would also buy a motorcycle and drive it. .

Compared with bicycles, motorcycles are more convenient.

In his previous life, Deng Shirong bought a motorcycle in the late 1980s. It was a Jialing motorcycle and sold for nearly RMB 10,000.

Because the price was too expensive, only one villager from Changtian Village bought a motorcycle before. The motorcycle Deng Shirong bought was the second motorcycle in the town. When he drove it back to the village, it undoubtedly caused a huge stir. sensation.

At that time, it was considered the peak of his life.

The current driving school in the county is the Agricultural Machinery School established in 1974. It is an adult secondary vocational school affiliated with the County Agricultural Machinery Bureau. Its main task is to cultivate various agricultural machinery technical talents for rural areas.

The school covers an area of ​​more than 30,000 square meters, including more than 8,000 square meters of tractor and car training grounds, more than 2,700 square meters of motorcycle training grounds, and more than 1,500 square meters of parking lots. There is a circular coach road of more than 2,000 meters in the school.

The school has 4 classrooms and electrochemical rooms with an area of ​​more than 320 square meters, and a restaurant and canteen with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. It can accommodate more than 200 students studying and training in the school at one time.

Deng Yuntai and Bu Zhongshi learned driving here before.

Deng Shirong was originally an experienced driver of a motorcycle. He learned to drive just as a formality and got his motorcycle driving license in less than half a month.

…

Bungie brigade.

Since hundreds of families surnamed Deng have planted watermelons this year, the clan members have spent at least half of their day in the orchards. Everyone treats the watermelons like their ancestors, watching the watermelons blossom and bear fruit day by day. Growing up, the eyes of the tribesmen are full of hope.

Because watermelons are grown in the mountains, there will naturally be a shortage of water if it does not rain for a long time. The tribesmen have to carry water from the mountains to water the watermelons every now and then. However, no one thinks this is a troublesome thing. Everyone's attitude is very positive. .

If they weren't worried about over-watering, they would still want to carry water to water the watermelons every day!

Deng Shirong's orchard is helped by his niece and nephew's son-in-law, so he doesn't have to worry about these things. In terms of experience in growing watermelons on a large scale, no one in the entire Naye Deng family can compare with them!

Seeing that it was already the fourth month of the lunar calendar, Deng Shirong took time to visit Baiping Farm again and signed a longan purchase contract with the farm.

This was agreed in advance last year, and the cooperation between the two parties was quite pleasant, so this year Deng Shirong signed a longan purchase contract with the farm at the same price.

On the same day, Deng Shirong received a letter from his second son.

In the letter, Deng Yunheng said that several classmates who were in the same dormitory with him would come to their home during the summer vacation. He briefly introduced the situation of these classmates in the letter. Finally, he said that they were not necessarily the only ones who came to visit, and invited his father to Be prepared for the reception in advance.

After reading the letter, Deng Shirong couldn't help but smile.

Under his guidance, the second son understood how much building a network of relationships on the Peking University campus would be helpful to his career after he got out of society. Therefore, in the past two years, he has been making friends at the school and is the most active at Peking University. one of several students.

Nowadays, several of his roommates are willing to travel thousands of miles to visit their homes, so as a father, he must receive them well.

First of all, there must be more lychees at home this year, so that the roommates of the second son can enjoy them no matter what, and other fruits must be arranged properly.

As for the food, I need to take some time to go to the mountain pass and bring back some seafood.

Also, electric fans need to be arranged.

There was no electricity in the village before, so he never bought this electric fan. When he came back after buying a few batteries, the weather was no longer hot.

The second son brought his classmates back during the summer vacation. The weather has reached the hottest time of the year, so it was natural to arrange an electric fan.

After making arrangements for food and accommodation, it’s time to play...

I need to buy more bicycles to make it easier for my second son’s classmates to travel.

In short, this time Deng Shirong must let his second son's classmates come and return happily.

…

In a blink of an eye.

The time has come in the fifth month of the lunar calendar.

Seeing that the watermelon was about to enter its maturity stage, many members of the Naye Deng clan began to get excited.

Although except for the Deng Shirong family, this is the first time for other clan members to plant watermelons on a large scale this year, this kind of thing where the whole clan participates also has a great advantage, that is, they can exchange planting experiences with each other.

For example, when should you fertilize, when should you water, when should you weed, and when should you do something. Even if you don’t understand, there are always people in the clan who do, and you just need to follow along.

Therefore, this year, the whole family is planting watermelon, and it is impossible to say that every family will have a bumper harvest, but most families have a good harvest, and some families have achieved a bumper harvest.

Even those with the worst output will definitely make money, it just depends on how much they make.

Therefore, when the harvest period is about to enter, the whole clan is full of joy.

…

May seventeenth.

This day is the second birthday of Deng Yunqiang’s twin grandsons.

Originally, rural children in this era did not pay much attention to their birthdays except for their first birthday. But this year, Deng Yunqiang’s family had a bumper harvest of both lychees and watermelons, so on the birthdays of their two grandsons, their family also killed chickens and ducks. , and even invited Deng Shirong over for dinner.

When the meal started, Deng Yunqiang picked up the wine and said, "Uncle Jiu, let me toast you first. If you hadn't brought us a cup three years ago, our family wouldn't be where we are today!"

Deng Shirong touched the wine with him and said with a smile: "This is not all my fault. Although I saw the prospect of planting lychees at that time, there are still risks in planting. If you can trust me and follow me for loans, you can Getting rich is something you work hard for.”

The two took a sip of wine and then talked about selling lychees.

Deng Yunqiang asked: "Uncle Jiu, now that the lychees are beginning to mature, when are you going to notify the supply and marketing cooperative to come in and purchase them?"

Deng Shirong thought for a while and said: "The day after tomorrow, when we sell out the lychees, the watermelons will almost be ready for sale."

Deng Yunqiang nodded and said: "Okay, then we will start selling the lychees the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow happens to be the polder day. I will notify the supply and marketing cooperative during the polder. It will also be convenient to send a letter to relatives and ask them to come and help pick lychees."

After talking about selling lychees, Deng Shirong looked at the pregnant Guan Yongying and said: "Aying, if you give birth to a baby this time, I suggest you go to the county town to give birth. In fact, the last time you gave birth to your first child, I wanted to make such a suggestion, but your family's conditions were not very good at the time. It would cost a lot of money to go all the way to the county town to have a baby, so I didn't say anything more.

But now your family is rich. This year, with lychees and watermelons, you will earn at least several thousand dollars. In addition, I bought a house in the county and opened a restaurant. You can come to my place for food and accommodation, so I suggest you It is much safer to go to a hospital in the county where professional midwives are delivered than to deliver the baby at home. "

Hearing this, before Guan Yongying expressed his position, Changfu's mother smiled and answered: "Jiu Gong, even if you don't say it, we are planning to let Aying go to the county hospital to give birth. At that time, we will inevitably trouble Uncle Atai. and Aunt Atai.”

Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "What's the trouble? Just go up in advance when the time comes."

Deng Changfu chuckled and said, "I have never been to the county town before, so I just took this opportunity to go to the county town and see the world."

Guan Yongying also smiled. Before, Zhang Xiuping, Ou Guohua, and Ou Guofang took turns to go to the county town to give birth to children. It was impossible for her not to be envious, but her family did not have the conditions when she gave birth. .

Even before Jiu Gong came up with this idea, the wives in the village did not even think about going to the county hospital to give birth.

But things are different now. With Jiu Gong’s daughter-in-law taking the lead, once the little daughters-in-law in the village get pregnant, they all think that they can go to the county hospital to give birth, but most of them can only think about it, and realize this wish. Not many of them.

…

Two days later.

Relatives of Deng Shirong's family and Deng Yunqiang's family came over to help pick lychees. As basket after basket of lychees was transported to the door of Deng Shirong's house, the villagers of Naye Village came over to watch like last year.

I won’t go into details about the process. This year, Deng Yunqiang’s house was sold for 2,180 yuan, which is several hundred yuan more than last year.

Deng Shirong's family had no less lychees than Deng Yunqiang's family, but he left at least seven to eight hundred kilograms of lychees unpicked. This was reserved for his own consumption and for entertaining his second son's classmates, so his family only sold them for more than 1,600 yuan.

This scene made all the villagers envious and longing for it. They have also planted lychee trees this year. If everything goes well, their lychees will be eaten and sold next year.

After Deng Shirong and Deng Yunqiang sold the lychees, for half a month, the whole clan started selling watermelons.

Today they are sold in this village, and tomorrow they are sold in that village. Car after car of watermelons are transported to other places for sale through the channels of supply and marketing cooperatives.

The income of each family starts at one thousand, and some even reach as high as four or five thousand. Such a big movement naturally alarms the villages with other surnames. Originally, the news that the whole family of the Naye Deng family is planting watermelons this year is not only known to everyone in the Shuangwang Realm. You know, even people in the entire Songshan Commune and even other communes have heard about it.

After all, the Ye Deng family all married daughters-in-law with foreign surnames. Which daughter-in-law did not have a natal family? As long as she mentioned this when visiting relatives, the news would naturally spread.

Everyone who knows the news has been waiting for the harvest of the Nayedeng family this year. If it is true that most people can make a lot of money growing watermelons, then next year they will also reclaim the mountains at home and plant watermelons.

Now, Naye Deng's watermelons are on sale, which naturally attracts everyone's attention.

And while Naye Deng was busy selling watermelons, schools all over the country also started summer vacation.

…

Beijing.

A state-owned hotel near Peking University.

A group of fellows from the Guangxi Fellows Association gathered here for a dinner. This dinner had special significance because the president, Zhao Changzheng, senior sister Song Yu, and Liu Shangwen, the only fellow among the fellows with a wife and children, all officially graduated from Peking University this year.

During the meal, all the fellow villagers asked about their work assignments.

Although jobs are assigned by the state, Peking University students in this era are all the proud ones, especially outstanding talents who are highly regarded by their mentors. Before assigning jobs, they usually communicate with them and listen to their own ideas.

Therefore, even if Zhao Changzheng, Song Yu, and Liu Shangwen did not know their specific assignments, they still knew where they were assigned to work.

After hearing the inquiries from fellow villagers, Zhao Changzheng did not hide anything and revealed: "If nothing else happens, I will go to Tibet to work."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Deng Yunheng asked: "President, is this your own choice?"

Zhao Changzheng nodded and said: "Yes, this is my own choice. Our country is a multi-ethnic country, and ethnic minority areas are a world of great potential. I am willing to fight in difficult places to realize the value of my life."

Deng Yunheng immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "As expected of the president, you are really ideal and ambitious. You will definitely be like a dragon swimming in the sea when you go, and you can realize your ideals and ambitions well. I am waiting for you to soar into the sky." Okay, don’t forget our fellow villagers!”

Zhao Changzheng laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "According to your auspicious words, if such a day comes, I will never forget our fellow villagers. Besides, I am just taking the first step, and you will go to your respective jobs later. , I’m afraid I will still be miserable in the snow area, and you will soar into the sky first.”

All the fellow villagers laughed when they heard this. Everyone here is a proud man, and naturally they all have their own ambitions in their hearts. They are also full of confidence in the future.

After talking about the work of the president, Deng Yunheng looked at Senior Sister Song Yu and asked: "Sister Song, where do you choose to work?"

Song Yu said with a smile: "I choose to go back to work in Guangxi. If nothing else happens, it should be in Nanning!"

Deng Yunheng clapped his legs and said: "Great, the president has chosen to work in Tibet. I thought that no one would entertain me when I go to Nanning in the future. Now that you are here, Sister Song, no matter when I arrive in Nanning, I won't be afraid that no one will entertain me." !”

Song Yu said boldly: "There is definitely no problem in entertaining me. If any of you come to Nanning in the future, please let me know."

After talking about Song Yu's work, Deng Yunheng turned his attention to Liu Shangwen.

Before he could ask, Liu Shangwen took the initiative and confessed: "I choose to go back to work in Yulin. Everyone must contact me when they come to Yulin in the future."

All the fellow villagers sent their blessings one by one.

When the dinner was coming to an end, Zhao Changzheng cleared his throat, attracted everyone's attention, and then said: "Fellow fellows, I have graduated now, and I will definitely no longer be the president of our school's Fellows Association, so Let’s take advantage of this fellow gathering to elect a new president, so that after I leave school, there will be someone to continue organizing the fellow gathering.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianjun immediately answered: "When it comes to the candidate to take over as president, I'm afraid there is no one here who is more suitable than Yun Heng."

Pang Feilong nodded and said, "You're right, Yunheng, like Brother Zhao, are both born to be the president."

Liu Xiaoman also echoed: "I also agree with Brother Heng to take over as president."

Then Ding Qiulan, Sun Baoguo and others also agreed.

Therefore, Deng Yunheng became the second president of the Guangxi Fellows Association of Peking University with the unanimous recommendation of all the fellows.

It can also be seen from here that Deng Yunheng has made very good friends in school in the past two years.

After talking about these serious matters, everyone then discussed forming a group to go home together.

Some people choose to go home, while others choose to stay in school.

Deng Yunheng said: "Several of my roommates plan to visit my house during the summer vacation. I wonder which fellow countrymen are interested in coming together?"

Anyway, when we bring those roommates back together, all the fellow villagers will definitely know the news, so why not send an invitation to them in advance to see if any of them want to come with us.

Lin Jianjun was a little moved when he heard that, but he still shook his head and said: "I would like to go to the president's house, but I won't go back during the Spring Festival. If I don't go back during the summer vacation, I guess my parents will have objections, and I will have to come back next time." Opportunity.”

Song Yu regretted: "I'm going to work soon, and I can't even go if I want to."

Zhao Changzheng also said with regret: "Yes, I will start working soon, and I won't have so much freedom!"

Among the Guangxi fellows at Peking University, boys make up the majority, but there are still a few girls. In addition to Song Yu, Ding Qiulan, and Liu Xiaoman, there are also Li Guiying from Baise and Wang Limei from Wuzhou.

During the previous Spring Festival, the two girls chose to go home to celebrate the New Year, so they went to the Great Wall to see the snow scenery without them.

The two women were in the same class as Deng Yunheng, and they were all fellow villagers, so they got along pretty well.

Hearing Deng Yunheng's invitation, Wang Limei, who was a little moved, looked at Li Guiying and Liu Xiaoman and asked: "Guiying, Xiaoman, do we want to form a team and go to the president's house to play together?"

No matter what age you are, it is very attractive to go to your classmates' houses. Li Guiying was naturally a little moved and said, "I can do it. If you all go, then I will join in the fun."

Liu Xiaoman looked at Deng Yunheng and asked, "President, is it convenient for so many of us to go there?"

Deng Yunheng said with a smile: "Of course it's convenient, there's no problem with food and accommodation, but for fun, except for a large reservoir, we don't have any decent scenery there. We can only go up the mountains to pick fruits, go down to the rivers to fish, and do some common things for rural people." , as long as you don’t find it boring.”

Liu Xiaoman's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "I haven't experienced this kind of rural life yet. President, I'm more interested after you said this."

Wang Limei laughed and said: "President, then add the three of us."

Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "Okay, then I will welcome you on behalf of my hometown."

Hearing this, other fellow villagers showed envious expressions. They are all in the most energetic age. Except for those who are quiet by nature, most people at this age like to join in the fun. Nowadays, so many people go to the president’s house to play. It's a lie if they say they don't want to go.

However, they all had to be absent for one reason or another, and naturally they felt a little regretful.

…

Three days later.

A group of fellow Guangxi residents who chose to go home, as well as several of Deng Yunheng's roommates, got on the train to Guangxi together.

Tang Mingjie has never left the capital before, and this is his first time riding a train. Even though the carriage is filled with all kinds of odors, he doesn't care.

Seeing his interested expression, Deng Yunheng couldn't help but smile and asked: "Brother Jie, do you think taking the train is quite interesting?"

Tang Mingjie looked at the scenery outside the window and nodded repeatedly: "I think it's quite interesting. Taking the train is much smoother than taking the bus, and you can see the scenery of several provinces across the country along the way. It's really exciting."

Deng Yunheng reminded: "Brother Jie, I believe you will not be happy soon!"

Tang Mingjie asked in confusion: "Why?"

Deng Yunheng sighed: "Because we have to sit on this train for several days and nights. Not only will it be difficult to eat and sleep well, but it will also be inconvenient to go to the toilet. In short, you must be mentally prepared for the next few days. Let’s just take it slow!”

Tang Mingjie didn't quite understand why Deng Yunheng used the word "endurance" at first, but after sitting on the train for a day and a night, he finally understood...
