Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Ever since Deng Shirong used the simple and crude monetary reward method, the four sons have not gone anywhere. They stay at home and read every day. They are very motivated to study, but they don't know how long they can persist.

In order not to distract them, Deng Shirong kept his word. Not only did he not let them work, he also cooked delicious food for them in different ways every day.

Stewed carp, crucian carp soup, eel porridge, spicy field snails, spicy frogs, etc., these good products that no one wanted in the fields, were all made by Deng Shirong into delicacies that were full of color, flavor and taste, allowing his children to feast on them and at the same time, I admired my father's cooking skills very much.

The four sons are not allowed to work, and the eldest son works in a tile factory, so the housework falls on the two daughters.

Deng Shirong's family also raised a pig and two chickens. The two hens were easy to get rid of, but it took a lot of effort to serve the pig. In addition, most of the food used for cooking and cooking now is firewood, so from time to time Go up the mountain to cut firewood.

Although there is a lot of work, girls of this age have long been accustomed to it.

In addition to cooking food for his children at home, Deng Shirong spent most of his time "running for clients." With his back-and-forth coordination, the "marriage" between Zhang Kangmei and Deng Changmei also progressed very smoothly. The man's family readily agreed to the request made by the woman's family. No haggling.

Therefore, Deng Shirong only made two trips back and forth, and successfully helped the two families set a date for housekeeping.

On this day, when Deng Shirong came to borrow a bicycle again, the captain Deng Yunjun said with a smile: "Uncle Jiu, I have already said hello to other people about this bicycle. I know it is Uncle Jiu and you want to buy it. Everyone has no objection."

Deng Shirong's eyes lit up and he asked: "Captain, how much does this bicycle cost?"

Deng Yunjun said: "This bicycle should be cleaned. It's probably still 70% new. Uncle Jiu, just give me 100 yuan."

The price is not expensive. After all, it is a permanent brand bicycle. Like the Phoenix brand, it can be called the Mercedes-Benz and BMW in the bicycle industry. Even if you have a ticket, it will cost about 180 yuan to buy a brand new one. If you don’t have a ticket, it will be even more expensive. This bicycle It can be bought for one hundred yuan, which can be said to be a very good deal.

If it were other members of the production team, they might not be able to buy this bike at this price!

Therefore, without saying a word, Deng Shirong took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Deng Yunjun, saying, "Okay, then I want this bicycle!"

Deng Yunjun obviously didn't expect that Uncle Jiu would carry so much cash with him. He was stunned for a moment before taking the money and said: "Uncle Jiu, you are very well-informed!"

Deng Shirong knew that he had misunderstood, but he did not explain. He smiled and said: "I am going to the deep water field now, so I won't tell you more. Come to my house for dinner in the afternoon. I will prepare some dishes to go with wine and have a drink with you."

Deng Yunjun nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely be there."

…

Sham Shui Tin Village.

After arriving at Guan Dewei's house, saying hello and burning two tubes of cigarettes, Deng Shirong took out the date slip and handed it over, saying: "Relative (the same name as my cousin), this is a good and auspicious day calculated by the fortune teller. Take a look."

Guan Dewei took the date sheet and saw that it was written on the first day of the seventh lunar month, so he knew that this was the nearest auspicious day chosen by the man's family.

Because in the realm of Shuangwang, no matter whether it is a company or any happy event, it will not be held in the sixth month of the lunar calendar.

In this era, no communes were held in March, June, and September. The specific reason is unknown. Anyway, there was a taboo. It was not until later generations that this taboo was lifted. March communes, June communes, and September communes were called Fu societies.

As for the taboo of getting married in June, there are several opinions. One of them is that the ancients believed that June is half of the year, and a bride in June is equal to half a bride, which is equivalent to having a before and no after, which indicates the marriage of the couple. In the end, it is easy to become a half-way couple.

There is also a jingle circulating in the Shuangwang realm: On June 6th, shrike eats mother’s flesh.

This means that every year on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, the shrike will brutally eat its mother.

Therefore, the ancients regarded this as an ominous omen.

When it comes to happy events, we Chinese people pay attention to a good omen, and naturally we will not take the initiative to touch this bad luck.

Therefore, in this era, there is absolutely no marriage in the sixth month of the lunar calendar.

And this date is written on the first day of the seventh lunar month, which is indeed the fastest auspicious day to choose for a wedding.

The man's net worth has been paid, and his daughter has also been registered. Naturally, Guan Dewei will not make a fuss about the auspicious wedding day. He put away the date slip and said: "No problem, I will accept this date slip!"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "The groom's family has already prepared the sewing machine. In a few days, after the production team has divided the grain, they will ask someone to pick the grain. You can also prepare the dowry and other things in advance!"

Guan Dewei nodded and said: "I understand, I will make preparations and won't delay the wedding."

Deng Shirong hummed and said, "Let's do this first. You and your family will discuss it carefully. You must tell me clearly in advance how many people will be married off when you get married, so that the groom's family can make arrangements easily."

"I understand this. We will finalize the wedding list in the next two days."

"Okay, I'll go back first and come back in two days to get the wedding list."

"Uncle Jiu, don't worry, stay and have lunch before leaving."

"No, I have other things to do."

After the two parties were polite, Deng Shirong rode his newly purchased bicycle back home.

After returning home, Deng Shirong's children were very excited to know that their father had paid for the bicycle.

In this day and age, bicycles are basically common in big cities, but in the rural areas of Bobai County, bicycles are still very rare. Many production teams collectively own one or two bicycles, and very few individuals own bicycles.

Now that Deng Shirong bought this 70% new bicycle from the production team, he is already a very powerful figure in the village.

"Dad, can you teach me to ride a bicycle?" Deng Yunheng asked with expectation in his eyes.

Deng Yunsong immediately echoed: "Dad, I want to learn too."

Although Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng were a little excited, they were ten and eight years old and had not yet grown up. When they saw the tall 28-year-old bar, they still closed their mouths in awe.

As for the sisters Deng Yunzhen and Deng Yunzhu, there was also a look of expectation in their eyes. Being able to ride a bicycle in this era is a very honorable thing among friends. They didn't have the conditions to learn it before, but now that they have bicycles at home, they naturally want to learn it.

"Of course you can, all of you older ones can learn it."

Having said this, Deng Shirong looked at his eldest daughter and said, "Let's start with you, Azhen. Once you learn how to do it, it will be Yunheng's turn. You siblings will come one by one from eldest to youngest."

Deng Yunzhen was very surprised when she heard this and said happily: "Thank you, Dad!"
