Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

The sixth day of the seventh lunar month is Sunday.

At ten o'clock in the morning, at the entrance of the ancestral hall, the Naye Deng family was holding the first aid conference in the clan.

At this time, the leader of the clan, Deng Shirong, was delivering a speech on the stage: "Dear clansmen, in this crisp autumn season, our Naye Deng clan's student aid conference has been solemnly held.

First of all, please allow me, on behalf of our Deng family, to offer my deepest blessings to the children of the family who have received scholarships and bursaries this time!

As the saying goes, a wise young man will make a country wise, and a strong young man will make a country strong. This saying also applies to our family.

In order to encourage the children of the clan to study hard, at the beginning of this year our Naye Deng family established bursaries and scholarships respectively.

This is a matter of "contribution to the present and benefit to the future". It not only helps poor students complete their studies and inspires hard work and progress, but also promotes the good moral custom of the Deng clan members of selfless dedication and helping the weak and needy.

The tree that hugs each other must have its roots; the water of the Yangtze River must have its source.

As the head of the Nayedeng clan, I would like to bow deeply to those clan members who donated money, thank them for their generosity and selfless dedication, and thank them for lending a helping hand to outstanding students. They conveyed their love to the students with their pure hearts. They taught by words and deeds and used practical actions to explain what "giving roses to others leaves fragrance in their hands".

This is a family sentiment that cares about the clan.

This is the persistent spirit of selfless dedication.

This is the original intention and mission of boxing that adheres to the ancestral teachings.

Here, I have something to say to our descendants of the Deng family: Children, only hard work will yield rewards. The door to success is open to those who dare to fight and keep working hard. Maybe your family doesn't have a lot of wealth, but fate will never let down anyone who works hard. Every drop of water turns into an ocean, and every drop of love turns into hope. You will create your own glory in the future. You are the hope and future of the Naye Deng family!

I hope you will inherit and carry forward the traditional virtues of the Deng family, start from every word, every word and deed, and strive to become a well-rounded talent with excellent morals and academics.

I hope you will learn to cherish, learn to be grateful, and face difficulties and challenges with a positive attitude.

If you succeed in your studies, you can repay society and your family to the greatest extent possible in the future.

Finally, I hope that my Yedeng family can flourish, pass on the fire from generation to generation, and continue to make great achievements! "

As soon as Deng Shirong finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and cheers came and went.

"The wisdom of a young man makes the clan wise, and the strength of a young man makes the clan strong. What the clan leader said is so good!"

"With a clan leader like Jiu Gong leading our Yedeng clan, we will definitely develop more and more prosperously."

"Children, you must study hard. We have suffered the loss of not studying and have worked hard for most of our lives."

"..."

Deng Yunsong's grades in the high school entrance examination this year were very top-notch. He attended Yugao High School and any technical secondary school at will. However, his goal was already set and he chose Bobai High School. As one of the students admitted to high school, he was also at the assistant meeting. Hearing his father speak at the meeting, his eyes were filled with admiration.

Especially when I see my father being sought after by so many tribesmen, I feel an indescribable pride in my heart.

After Deng Shirong, the leader of the clan, finished his speech, Deng Shian, the secretary of the brigade and the leader of the clan, was also invited to the stage to say a few words.

Then, grants and scholarships are officially awarded.

A total of 136 people from the whole family were admitted into the top ten of the class this year. Among them, 22 people were ranked second and third, and 9 people were ranked first. According to the previously set standards for student aid, the first place award 10 yuan, which adds up to 90 yuan. The second and third place prizes are 5 yuan, which adds up to 110 yuan.

Here, an expenditure of 200 yuan is required.

Then the tuition and miscellaneous fees of 136 people will be reimbursed, and a total of 1,247 yuan will be spent here.

In total, the total scholarship expenditure is 1,447 yuan.

Then there are scholarships.

A total of 23 people from the whole family were admitted to high school, and each was awarded 50 yuan, which is 1,150 yuan.

There are 4 people who are admitted to technical secondary schools, and each award is 100 yuan, which is 400 yuan.

Two people were admitted to junior college, and each received a prize of 150 yuan, which is 300 yuan.

One person was admitted to an ordinary university and received a prize of 200 yuan.

None from key universities or above.

The total expenditure on scholarship is 2,050 yuan.

Including scholarships, the total expenditure is 3,497 yuan.

The total donation from the family reached 7,632 yuan, leaving a balance of 4,135 yuan after deducting expenses.

After the rewards were awarded to all the clan members who met the reward criteria, all the clan members could not help but feel refreshed.

Because what is being discussed next is the matter of raising funds to establish a passenger transport company. This is a major event that requires every clan member to sell their iron and steel to become a shareholder. Naturally, the clan members here take it very seriously.

Deng Shirong made the final summary. Seeing the changes in the expressions of the clan members, he naturally knew what they were expecting, so he changed his words and said: "Next, let's discuss the establishment of a passenger transport company among the clan. After this period of discussion , I believe everyone is ready to invest.

So, start signing up now!

Changjin, Changcai, Changqian, the three of you are responsible for recording. "

"Okay, Mr. Jiu!" Deng Changjin and the others nodded in response.

Deng Changxiong, the richest man in Bangba, couldn't help but ask: "Head of the clan, how many shares do you plan to buy? Can you tell us?"

Hearing this, the others also looked at the clan leader with sharp eyes. Many clan members among them had already discussed with their families how many shares they wanted to buy in the passenger transport company, but some clan members had not yet made a final decision and planned to adapt accordingly.

Now, after hearing Deng Changxiong's inquiry, they all wanted to know how many shares the clan leader who took the lead in establishing the passenger transport company wanted to buy.

Deng Shirong understood what the tribesmen were thinking. He wanted to use his actions to enhance the tribesmen's confidence in the passenger transport company, so he smiled without hiding anything: "Of course, it's not a secret. I plan to buy 360 shares."

As soon as these words came out, the scene exploded instantly!

One share is 1,000 yuan. How much is 360 shares?

Although many tribesmen are illiterate and could not calculate this number at the moment, it does not prevent them from being shocked. After all, they only plan to buy 1 share and 2 shares. Those who want to buy 3 or even 4 shares have already exhausted their efforts. At full strength.

But compared with the 360 ​​shares owned by the clan leader, these few shares are really far behind.

And those tribesmen who were good at calculation immediately calculated how much money the tribe leader planned to invest in. It was 360,000. After calculating this amount, they were all shocked and stunned.

Although it is already 1983, more than half of the richest people in each village are from households worth ten thousand yuan. There are indeed many more wealthy people than two or three years ago.

However, even bosses at the level of the richest man in Ji Maoling and the richest man in Bangba only have assets of less than 20,000 yuan but less than 30,000 yuan, let alone others.

In comparison, the clan leader's gesture was really too big.

"Oh my god, it's really scary. I always thought that the clan leader was just the richest person in our Bangjie brigade. Now it seems that even if we look at the entire Songshan Commune, no one can compete with our clan leader in terms of financial resources." ?”

"I heard that the clan leader invested more than 300,000 yuan to open a hotel in the county last year. Now that the clan wants to set up a passenger transportation company, the clan leader actually spent another 360,000 yuan. It's really terrible. Where did the clan leader get so much money? ah?"

"I know this. I heard that the clan leader borrowed 800,000 yuan from a credit union and spent more than 300,000 yuan to open a restaurant in the county. He still has more than 400,000 yuan on hand!"

"The courage of the clan leader is truly unparalleled!"

"The clan leader is so optimistic about this passenger transport company. It seems that my previous thinking was conservative. No matter what, I have to invest one more share in it."

"..."

Deng Changbao, Deng Changxiong, Deng Yunfa, and Deng Changshou, all clan members with relatively strong economic strength, were deeply shocked when they heard the clan leader said that he wanted to invest 360 shares. At the same time, they all silently increased the number of shares they had originally set. Lift it up.

The family dared to invest the first 360,000 yuan, but they only invested more than 10,000 yuan and more than 20,000 yuan, so why should they hesitate?

Not only bosses like Deng Changbao think this way, but other clan members also think similarly. With so much money invested in the clan, there is no need to hesitate with their mere three to two thousand yuan, they can just throw it all in immediately.

Therefore, under Deng Shirong's stimulation, the tribesmen who had already set the standards for stock ownership raised their standards one after another, leaving no room for themselves.

"Deng Changbao, 26 shares."

"Deng Changxiong, 24 shares."

"Deng Yungui, 18 shares."

"Deng Yunfa, 18 shares."

"..."

On the stage, Deng Changjin, Deng Changcai, and Deng Changqian were responsible for recording. It took about half an hour to finally record the number of shares of all clan members.

Upon seeing this, Deng Shirong said: "Brothers and nephews, now the number of shares purchased by everyone has been recorded. All funds must be in place within three days. Next, let's discuss who will be responsible for managing this passenger transport company."

Hearing this, Deng Changbao quickly answered: "Head of the clan, there is no need to discuss this, you must be responsible for the management!"

Deng Changxiong echoed: "Yes, clan leader, you took the lead in establishing this passenger transport company, and it is most appropriate for you to be responsible for its management."

Deng Yungui also nodded and said: "Uncle Jiu, it is indeed most appropriate for you to be responsible for managing this passenger transport company. If you need help, just transfer people from the clan."

Other tribesmen also agreed.

Deng Shirong didn't want to be constrained by this kind of thing. If he had this ambition to fight, how could he still stay in Naye Village now? He had gone to Shenzhen Special Economic Zone to show off his talents two years ago, so he had no intention of He hesitated and refused: "I am only responsible for controlling the general direction of this passenger transport company. The specific matters must be left to other tribesmen!"

Deng Yungui has been contracting the cylinder tile factory in partnership with Uncle Jiu for almost three years. He has a certain understanding of Uncle Jiu who likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper. When he heard what he said, it was clear that he thought managing the company was too troublesome, so he said with a smile: "This method is also possible. There are more than 3,000 people in our Yedeng clan. It is no problem to select a few capable clan members to manage the company. Anyway, how will the company develop after it is established? Uncle Jiu, you and them Just make it clear.”

The other clan members also thought it made sense after hearing this. It was like going somewhere. The clan leader only needed to explain clearly how to get to the destination. There was no need to drive the person there himself.

Deng Shirong hummed and said, "While everyone is here, let's first select the managers of the passenger transport company!"

…

When Deng held a student aid conference in Naye, Deng Yunheng took a group of Peking University students to visit his alma mater, "Naye Primary School".

Looking at the "bunker"-like school in front of him, Tang Mingjie said in surprise: "Yunheng, is this where you went to primary school?"

"To be precise, I went to elementary school and junior high school here."

Deng Yunheng explained: "In 1968, under the slogan of 'you can go to junior high school without leaving the brigade, and you can go to high school without leaving the commune', the number of ordinary middle schools in our county increased sharply, and basically every brigade opened a junior high school. Our country Team Jie is no exception and has also established Naye Junior High School here at Naye Elementary School.

However, how can there be so many capable teachers in such a blind way of running a school? Many junior high school teachers are just trying to catch up, and the quality of teaching will inevitably decline seriously. It is very rare for me to pass the exam here. "

After all, the capital city is the capital of a country, and the education is naturally not comparable to that in remote mountainous areas like Guangxi. After hearing what Deng Yunheng said, Tang Mingjie said with admiration: "Yunheng, you are really amazing. Under such educational conditions, you It’s unbelievable that I was able to get into Peking University. If it were me, I probably wouldn’t be able to get into even the most ordinary universities.”

Chu Zhenyu also praised: "Yes, the educational conditions in my elementary school, junior high school and high school are much better than yours in Yunheng. If it were me receiving such an education, I probably wouldn't even be able to get into an ordinary university." ”

Liu Xiaoman's eyes changed when she looked at Deng Yunheng. This fellow was even better than she had imagined. He could stand out under such educational conditions and be admitted to the best university in the country. Such a person is indeed the best among people.

Other students looked at Deng Yunheng with eyes full of admiration.

There are also classmates among them who come from ordinary families, but the educational conditions they received are indeed much better than Deng Yunheng.

The school in front of me doesn't even have a decent teaching building. It seems that this building was a defensive bunker built during the Anti-Japanese War and then converted into a school. Such a school is not qualified as a primary school, let alone a junior high school.

It is really unimaginable that under such educational conditions, someone can still be admitted to Peking University. It really fulfills the saying: It is gold and shines wherever it is placed.

Hearing the compliments from the classmates, Deng Yunheng smiled sheepishly and said: "Actually, I was able to get into Peking University mainly because of my father's encouragement. Our family's living conditions were not that good at that time, so my father told me directly, If I can go to college, he will give me an extra 50 yuan a month for living expenses.

Inspired by the 50 yuan, I studied hard, and my grades improved rapidly. Later, when I saw hope, I redoubled my efforts to study, and finally got admitted to Peking University. "

Zheng Shifeng said with a surprised look on his face: "So, you spent money like water at school because your uncle fulfilled his promise and gave you 50 yuan a month for living expenses?"

Deng Yunheng chuckled and said: "Yes, although there is a subsidy from the school, my father will still give me an additional 50 yuan for living expenses every month."

Except for Tang Mingjie, the other students looked envious after hearing this. The subsidies they received from school did not need to be sent home, which was already pretty good. How could their families give them living expenses?

Of course, in this day and age, a subsidy of more than 20 yuan a month is actually enough as long as you don't spend money lavishly.

After all, many people work for a month and only get this amount of money. They also have to support their families, but they only need to support themselves, and the difficulty is completely different.

Tang Mingjie couldn't help but ask: "Yunheng, I think your family's living conditions are very good now. What does your father do?"

As soon as these words came out, other students also looked at Deng Yunheng curiously.

They have been guests at Deng Yunheng's house for some time. Every day, Uncle Deng cooks a large table of delicious dishes for them in different ways. There is never a shortage of chicken, duck, and fish. From time to time, they also have a few seafood dishes. According to this way of eating, Just entertaining their classmates would cost a lot of money.

Not only did they eat, but the house they lived in was also the best in the village. The only TV set in the village was even equipped with an electric fan for each of them. What surprised them most was the bicycles, those brand-new ones. The bicycles were probably bought by Uncle Deng because they were here as guests to facilitate their travel.

In short, it can be seen from various life details that the living conditions of Deng Yunheng's family are really very good.

Even Tang Mingjie, who has the best financial resources among his classmates, dare not say that his family's financial resources are definitely stronger than those of Deng Yunheng's family.

The most important thing is that they have not seen Uncle Deng doing anything for such a long time, so they are really curious about what Uncle Deng does.

Deng Yunheng said with a smile: "My dad used to be a vat master. Three years ago he co-founded a vat tile factory, and the business has always been good. There is also the orchard at home, where lychees and watermelons can still be sold for a lot of money a year. In addition, my father invested in and opened a restaurant in the county town, and now my eldest brother, sister-in-law and my sister are managing it. "

After hearing this, all the students finally understood.

Wang Limei couldn't help but admired: "Uncle Deng is really a capable man!"

Li Guiying nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, Uncle Deng is indeed a very capable man. My parents are also farmers, but they only know how to farm. When I went back for the Spring Festival, I encouraged them to go out and do some small business. Unfortunately, I didn't care No matter what, they didn't dare to do it for fear of losing money.

If they had one tenth of Uncle Deng's courage, our family's life wouldn't be so difficult. "

Liu Xiaoman answered: "There are not many people who can do so well as Uncle Deng. Looking at the whole country, everyone has their own things. Sister Guiying, your parents may not be good at business. You can consider starting from them." If you start in a place where you are good at it, like this orchard owned by Uncle Deng’s family, it’s quite profitable!”

Li Guiying hummed and said, "I was really inspired when I came here this time. When I get back to school, I will write a letter to them and ask them to follow Uncle Deng's approach to orchards. Planting is also something they are good at. Just look. Do they have the guts to do it?”

While they were talking, several people had already visited Naye Elementary School.

There is nothing interesting about this simple row of buildings.

When going back, Deng Yunheng said: "Let's stay in the countryside and play for two more days. I will take you to the county town for a few more days. Then it's almost time to go back to school."

The students naturally had no objections when they heard this. If they had not been interested in going to the county town before, but knowing that Uncle Deng opened a restaurant in the county town, they became very interested and wanted to go up and have a look at the restaurant opened by his uncle. what does it look like.

At the same time, I also want to meet Deng Yunheng’s eldest brother, sister-in-law and sister.

…

That night.

While his classmates were sitting under the wooden shed watching TV, Deng Yunheng and his father were sitting at the door chatting.

Deng Yunheng said: "Dad, I am going to take my classmates to the county town for a few days the day after tomorrow. Then I will take the bus directly from the county town to school."

It happened that the longans were ripe now, and in two days Deng Shirong would go to the two rooms rented by Tanlian to receive the longans from Baiping Farm. He nodded and said: "You classmates have already played all the things that should be played here in the countryside. It’s okay to go to the county town for a few days, then I’ll make a sumptuous meal to say goodbye to you classmates tomorrow.”

Deng Yunheng said: "I'll tell Xiao Song later to see if he wants to go to the county in advance to familiarize himself with the school he is about to attend. If he wants to go in advance, we will go up together the day after tomorrow."

Deng Shirong said: "Okay, then you can ask him. Anyway, your eldest brother, sister-in-law and eldest sister are all here, so you don't have to worry about food and accommodation."

Deng Yunheng asked: "Dad, do you have anything else to explain?"

Deng Shirong said: "I've told you everything that needs to be said before. You will be a junior in college soon. There is not much time left for you to make friends. Those who can join the student union and the Youth League Committee are the best of the best. You can find a way as soon as possible." By joining, you can experience yourself on the one hand, and you can also make more useful friends on the other.”

Deng Yunheng nodded and said: "I understand, this is not difficult to do."

Deng Shirong said: "Tomorrow I will give you a thousand yuan. If you have more friends, your expenses will naturally increase. The family is not short of money now. Every penny you spend now will have huge returns in the future, so You don’t need to save money in school, just spend what you need. If you don’t have enough money, just write to me. If you need it urgently, just send me a telegram. Do you understand?”

Deng Yunheng hummed and said, "I got it!"

Although five hundred yuan was enough, he did not refuse his father's offer of one thousand yuan.

His father has always attached great importance to his connections at Peking University. He is going to join the student union or youth league committee to gain experience. There will definitely be more places where he needs to spend money. Bringing more money with him will naturally make him more confident.

Moreover, he also knew that his father was right. Their family was now different from what it used to be, and they were indeed no longer short of money.

Not to mention anything else, the Suifeng Restaurant in the county town alone makes a profit of more than one thousand and nearly two thousand yuan in a month. He spends a thousand and several hundred yuan a year on school, which is really not enough for his family. What kind of.
