Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

afternoon.

Naye Village.

In front of Deng Yunqiang's house, two little kids who looked exactly the same were chasing each other, having a great time.

These two little brats were none other than the twin sons of Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying. The eldest was called Gou San and the younger was called Gou Si, which were very typical rural nicknames in this era.

The two brothers are almost four and a half years old, and they are at the age where they "let go". Unless they are sleepy or sick, they will chase each other all day long and play with other children of the same age, without settling down. when.

Guan Yongying was sitting at the door sewing clothes. From time to time he looked up at his son who was chasing and playing, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

When she was at her parents' house, although their life was not the worst in the village, it was rare to eat meat once a month. If she could eat one egg every ten days and a half, it was already pretty good. Almost all are pickles and green vegetables with little oil or water.

However, since she married into Naye Village, everything has become different.

Although it was difficult for a while at the beginning, it was only temporary. Once the lychees at home started to be sold, life began to get better.

Then I started growing watermelons with Jiu Gong, and my income increased year by year.

When Jiu Gong took the lead in establishing the passenger transport company, her husband's family and her natal family even jointly acquired 10 shares, which made countless people in the family envious!

Then the Jiugong family raised funds to build a community in the county, and their family made a big move and bought three houses. This life is getting more and more promising!

With a smile on her face, Guan Yongying raised her head and glanced at her two naughty sons again. When she saw the second son running, he put his hand into his pants and scratched her. This was not the first time. She couldn't help but shout: "Gou Si" ,come here!"

Gou Si ran over and said, "Mom, what's going on?"

Guan Yongying said: "I see you keep reaching into your pants to scratch itches. Take off your pants quickly and show mom what's going on?"

Gou Si made a sound, then pushed his pants down.

Guan Yongying took a closer look and saw that it was slightly red and swollen, and she could clearly see a small red dot inside. She immediately understood what was going on and said, "Gou Si, there is a little bug. Mom, help you." Pick it out and don’t move it!”

At this time, Gou San also ran over. Hearing this, he asked curiously: "Mom, where is the little bug? Let me take a look!"

Guan Yongying pointed at the little red dot and said: "Look, this little red dot is a small insect. It bites you specifically. So when you are playing, don't go to the straw pile or the weeds. There are There are a lot of these little bugs.”

Gou San stared at his brother and realized that his mother was right. There was really a little red dot there, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Gou Si quickly urged: "Mom, please help me pick out the little bugs quickly!"

Guan Yongying hummed, then lowered his head and used a needle to carefully pick out the little red bug (called Fengci in Hakka, Feng is the pronunciation of red, this thing is really specially designed to bite the little boy). come out.

When Deng Changfu came back and saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Been bitten by Fengci?"

Guan Yongying crushed the small insect he picked out, which was as big as a needle, to death, nodded and said, "It's normal to be bitten by the temple after running around all day."

Deng Changfu ignored such trivial matters and said excitedly to his wife: "Jiu Gong just called back and said that the community in the county has been built. The passenger transport company will send a bus back later, and every household will send people to take it early tomorrow morning." Go to the company car to participate in the room allocation."

Guan Yongying's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "That's great. Mom is cooking in the kitchen. Tell her the good news quickly."

Deng Changfu said yes with a smile, and then went into the kitchen to tell his mother the happy news.

…

at the same time.

Throughout the village where the Naye Deng family lived, there were dedicated people riding bicycles to inform the tribesmen one by one of the good news.

The clan members who received the news were all excited. Since the end of the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year, the whole clan has begun to raise funds to build houses. It is now the end of September in the lunar calendar, and a full seven or eight months have passed.

In the past seven or eight months, the whole clan has been united as one. Those who stayed in their hometown opened rocks, washed sand, felled trees, and even went to the brick factory to help.

Now, it’s finally time to harvest!

"Great, the community is finally built!"

"Tomorrow we can finally allocate a house. If the house is allocated and renovated immediately, we can move in this year!"

"I really want to renovate and move in right away, but the houses in the county are different from those in our rural areas, and the decoration will probably cost a lot of money. I won't be able to spend money to decorate this year. I can only wait for the passenger transport company to pay dividends next year." , and use it for decoration.”

"Renovation shouldn't cost much, right? Just whitewash the walls, run a few wires, and make a few beds, and that's it!"

"Such a decoration is indeed acceptable in a village, but I'm afraid it won't be feasible in a county town!"

"What's wrong? Can a house in the county town be decorated with flowers?"

"I can't say this right now, but I feel like the houses in the county are not that simple. I won't know the details until I go to see them."

"Okay, then we'll also ask other people to see how they plan to decorate."

…

Knowing that the houses were going to be divided, the tribesmen were excited, but the most discussed thing was that they wanted to decorate and move in as soon as possible.

Even in later generations, rural people who had a house in the county felt quite respectable after returning to the village. After all, being able to afford a house in the county proved that they could live well outside. Needless to say, in this day and age, the glory brought by owning a house in the county is definitely no less than that of having a house in the capital in future generations.

Therefore, the tribesmen all want to decorate and move in as soon as they are allocated a house, so that they can show off in front of relatives and friends!

Although pretentiousness is a word that only appeared in later generations, the behavior of pretentiousness existed thousands of years ago.

Pretending is actually human nature, and there is no one in this world who doesn’t like to show off.

The only difference is that some people pretend to be cool on purpose, while others pretend to be cool unconsciously.

That night, each family began to discuss sending representatives to the county town to participate in the family allocation. In fact, many families wanted to go together, but the bus of the passenger transport company could not carry so many people, so each family could only send one representative.

As for those who have family members working in the county town, there is no need to send people up. They can just be represented by the clan members working in the county town.

Of course, it’s not impossible if the whole family wants to go up, but they can’t take the bus of the passenger transport company and have to take other buses themselves.

In the end, after discussion, most families had the head of the family go up there. In some families, the head of the family really had something to do and couldn't leave, so another representative was sent up.

…

Early the next morning.

The representatives of the Deng family got on the bus sent back by the passenger transport company and began to rush towards the county seat.

Deng Shi'an, Deng Yungui, Deng Yunqiang, Deng Changbao, Deng Changxiong and others were sitting in the same car. They were all prominent figures in the Naye Deng clan, either the elders of the clan or relatively wealthy members of the clan.

Deng Changxiong said: "From the beginning of the construction of the community to the completion, I have never been to the county seat to see it, and I don't know what our Naye Deng community is like."

Deng Changbao answered: "I haven't gone up to see it either, but the tribesmen who have seen it have come back and said that the community is so beautiful that I don't know how to describe it. Even the houses where officials live in the county are not so beautiful."

Deng Yungui said with a smile: "I went to see it three months ago, but the community was still under construction at that time and it was a mess everywhere, so I didn't see much."

Deng Yunqiang said: "The tribesmen who have recently returned from the county are praising the community to the sky."

Deng Shi'an said enthusiastically: "Whether the community is beautiful or not is secondary. The most important thing is that when the housing is allocated today, we will be no different from the people in the city. This is a big event worthy of being written into the family tree."

Deng Changbao smiled and said: "The secretary is right. Today is a big day worthy of being remembered by our whole family. This matter must be recorded in the genealogy."

…

10:43 am.

Fifteen buses from the passenger transport company were parked at the south gate of Naye Deng's community.

In fact, buses can drive directly into the community, but in order to open the eyes of the tribesmen who have not seen the community, the driver pulled the tribesmen to the south gate and asked them to get off the car and see what the main entrance of the community is like. .

Soon, the tribesmen got out of the car one after another.

When I saw the gatehouse with "Naye Deng's" written in front of me, and then from the perspective of the gatehouse, I saw the layout of the community and the seven or eight-story buildings, it was eye-opening for everyone.

"beautiful!"

"Oh my God, this is our home?"

"No wonder the tribesmen who returned before praised the community to the sky. It's incredible that a house like this is our new home."

"This gatehouse looks really impressive, and the building is so tall!"

"If you live on the highest floor, wouldn't you be able to see the entire county?"

"There's no need to live on the highest floor. Even if you go a few floors lower, you can probably see the entire county. Look around here. How many buildings can compare with our community?"

"The leader of the clan said that this time the room allocation will be done by drawing lots. I don't know if I can win the top lot. If anyone wins the lottery and doesn't want to live there, we can change it."

"I don't want to live on the top floor. If I win, I will switch with you."

"..."

While they were talking, a clan member led everyone towards the leisure square in the center of the community.

At this time, there were already thousands of tribesmen waiting in the leisure square.

In fact, these tribesmen also know that the allocation of houses cannot be carried out so early, and it will definitely not start until the tribesmen from their hometown come up. But now that the community has been completed, how can these idle tribesmen stay? They all gathered in the community invariably. Come.

Now, with the arrival of the clan members from my hometown, and after the two parties come together, the room division can officially begin!

Deng Shirong briefly said a few opening remarks and then began to read out the list of sub-villages.

As the head of the clan, Deng Shirong naturally had information about the entire clan. There were records of how many households there were in each village and how many houses each household needed. He took the time to sort it out and divided the Naye Deng clan into twelve categories. Villages, those small villages are basically split up and integrated into these twelve relatively large villages.

Because Deng Shirong's house is quite special, Naye Village is bound to him and is divided into the 9th building. There is no need to participate in the lottery. The other 11 buildings will be drawn by the eleven villages that have been divided.

The results of the draw are as follows:

1 building in Ji Maoling Village.

2 buildings in Bangba Village.

3 buildings in Macun.

4 buildings in Shanggaohang Village.

5 buildings in Guanchong Village.

6 buildings in Yangdipo Village.

7 buildings in Longjing Village.

Building 8 to Zhangcun.

9 buildings in Naye Village.

10 buildings in Zhadu Village.

Building 11 Umeda Village.

12 buildings in Shejiao Village.

The remaining small villages were scattered and distributed among these twelve large villages.

After the twelve buildings were divided into villages, each village organized another lottery to allocate houses to each household.

Naturally, lots are being drawn here in Naye Village.

The person who presided over the lottery was Deng Shirong. He exclusively occupied the first unit of the 9th building, and the 56 suites in the remaining two units were simply not enough for the rest of Naye Village.

After all, Naye Village was the first to be influenced by Deng Shirong. In terms of overall economic strength, it ranks first among the Deng villages in Naye. Except for a few families, most families in the village choose to have two houses, while Deng Yunqiang and Deng Changping The family asked for three houses, and Deng Yungui's family asked for four houses. Naturally, these 56 houses were not enough.

Therefore, Deng Shirong merged some of the families into Yangdipo Village, which is connected to Naye Village.

Before starting to draw lots, Deng Shirong looked at Deng Yungui, Deng Yunqiang and others and asked: "Yungui, Yunqiang, Changping, you want more houses. Do you want the houses to be on the same floor, or do you want the houses to be decided directly by drawing lots? "

Deng Yunqiang said: "I can do it."

Deng Yungui asked for four houses, which just happened to occupy one of the floors. He said, "Uncle Jiu, if possible, I hope my four houses can be on the same floor."

Deng Shirong said: "Generally speaking, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors of houses in the community are the best because it is not so hard to walk up and down the stairs. The 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th floors are not so good, especially the top floor. , not to mention the trouble of walking up the stairs, in summer, the weather is still very hot, like a steamer.

However, the advantages of the top floor are not without. It has a wide view and can see the scenery of the entire county. Moreover, an elevator shaft has been reserved when the house was designed. An elevator will definitely be installed in the future, so that there is no need to climb the stairs so hard.

But then again, it will take me who knows how many years to install an elevator. Now if you choose the top floor, it is not as convenient and comfortable as living on the lower floor.

Therefore, if you want four houses on one floor, you can only choose the top floor. I think everyone has no objection to this. "

Hearing this, Deng Yungui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it, let's draw lots to decide. I'm old enough. When I live here and climb the seventh floor every day, I'll be exhausted!"

Deng Shirong looked at Deng Changping and said, "Changping, do you want to go to the top floor or decide by drawing lots?"

Deng Changping smiled and said: "Jiu Gong, then I will go to the top floor!"

The couple are in their prime and are not afraid of climbing stairs at all. It is much more convenient to put three houses together than to spread them out.

Speaking of these three houses, it was also thanks to Jiu Gong's help, because their family's financial strength was not conspicuous in the village. After acquiring two houses, the couple had to tighten their belts to live a life, but they also have three sons, and the young man When a house arrives, I don’t know how to divide it.

In the end, it was Ninth Princess who came to help and lent money to the couple to buy three houses, so that they could earn money and it would not be too late.

Deng Changping and his wife were really flattered by this, and they didn't understand why Jiu Gong was so kind to them.

When the land was first divided into households in the village, all the land was given to the couple for farming. Later, the passenger transport company was established. With the help of Jiu Gong, he invested 6 shares in the passenger transport company, and then raised funds to build the company. room, Jiu Gong helped them again.

Although many people in the village have received help from Jiu Gong, none of them were as helpful as Jiu Gong to the couple.

Naturally, they never dreamed that the reason why Deng Shirong helped them in this way was because he had been taken care of by his wife in his old age in his previous life, so he would take proper care of them when he was reborn.

Deng Shirong smiled and nodded: "Okay, you can choose any of the two units. I believe everyone will have no objections."

Others really have no objections. The seventh floor is indeed as the leader said. It is inconvenient to get in and out, and it is very hot in summer. Now that someone is willing to take the initiative to choose, it is a good thing for everyone, so that they can get to the top of the building. The probability becomes lower.

Deng Changping thought for a while and said: "Then I will choose 701, 702, and 703 in the third unit!"

Deng Shirong nodded, drew out the lots for the three houses and handed them to him, then looked at the other clan members and said: "Is there anyone else who wants to choose the seventh floor? If there is one, sign up quickly. If not, then we will prepare." Lots were drawn."

It has to be said that everyone has their own ideas. Most people dislike the top floor, but some people are attracted to the top floor, so soon some tribesmen came out to take the other five houses on the top floor.

In this regard, it can be said that everyone is happy.

After the top floor is processed, the official lottery begins.

In the end, Deng Yungui's four houses were distributed on different floors, one of which was on the second floor, which made him very satisfied. When he came to live in the county town, he could live on this floor, and it was very convenient to get in and out.

Deng Yunqiang's three houses, one on the first floor and two on the fourth and fifth floors, are considered acceptable.

At twelve o'clock at noon, each village had completed the drawing of lots, and the houses were officially allocated to each household.

Deng Shirong made the final conclusion: "Dear tribesmen, now that houses have been allocated to each household, the next decoration of the house is a personal matter, because some tribesmen want to make it look better, and some tribesmen want to decorate it casually. This cannot be decorated uniformly.

So far, there are still hundreds of thousands of money raised by the whole family that has not been spent. However, this money will not be returned and will remain in the company's account, because the company will set up a special department to manage the community next. I Call this department the Property Department.

I will also tell you about the main responsibilities of the property department here. Simply put, it is to manage the entire community, such as handling the public health of the community, taking care of the flowers and trees in the greening of the community, maintaining the public facilities of the community, etc.

In short, counties are different from rural areas. If there is no dedicated person to manage a community as large as ours, the disposal of garbage alone will be a big problem. You can't just throw garbage away like in the countryside, right?

This is the second home of our Naye Deng family. The house is so beautifully built and the landscaping is so good. Everyone must take good care of it.

Therefore, the remaining money will be used to pay salaries to the people working in the property department for the time being. When all the shops in our community are rented out, the income should be able to cover the salaries of the members of the property department. "

"Jiu Gong, I agree with your proposal. Our community is so beautifully built, so we must have dedicated people to take care of it. Also, when all tribesmen arrive in the county, they must pay attention to hygiene. We can't do it like in the countryside. , Your own children defecate anywhere, and you cannot raise chickens, ducks, etc. in the community.”

"Indeed, everyone in the county must pay attention to hygiene. If children defecate anywhere and chickens and ducks are everywhere in the community, then no matter how beautiful the community is, it will be completely different."

"I also support the clan leader's proposal. It is necessary to establish a property department to specifically manage the community."

"..."

Deng Shirong's proposal was reasonable and reasonable, and all the tribesmen expressed their approval.

Seeing that it was already time for lunch, Deng Shirong didn't want to delay everyone too much, so he said: "It's not too early now, so I won't talk too much. For the tribesmen who worked in the county before, if you plan to stay in the county for decoration, For your own house, the clan is responsible for paying you the rent until the end of the year.

If you don’t plan to renovate this year, then let the house you live in now be used by other tribesmen who need renovation.

Anyway, let's coordinate well and try our best to provide a place for the tribesmen who come to the county for renovation.

Of course, if you really can't live in it, then you can try to build a floor bunk in your own house to make do. As for bathing, washing clothes, going to the toilet, etc., there are public toilets in the community, and they are all ready for use.

That’s it for now. Let’s have some free time. Let’s go eat a bowl of noodles first. If you want to go back in the afternoon, the company will send a car to take you back. "

After the disbandment was announced, the hungry tribesmen went out to find noodles to eat, while the tribesmen who were not yet hungry went upstairs to look at their houses with great anticipation.

Deng Yungui came over and asked, "Uncle Jiu, let's go up and take a look at your house. I'm very curious about what this 640-square-meter house looks like."

Deng Yunqiang, Deng Changbao, Deng Changxiong, Deng Shian, and Deng Changping also came over. Everyone was curious about the extremely large house in the clan head.

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Okay, let's go up and have a look together."

Building 9 was originally inside the community, very close to the leisure square. In less than half a minute, Deng Shirong took them to the second floor of the first unit.

Looking at the house with an extremely spacious view in front of them, even those who had been mentally prepared were still stunned.

Deng Changping immediately exclaimed: "Oh my god, this house is really too big!"

Everyone walked around the house with shock on their faces. When they returned to the super large living room, Deng Yungui exclaimed: "Uncle Jiu, your house is really too big. You can open a basketball court directly in the hall."

Deng Shirong said with a smile: "Make the living room bigger and it will look more comfortable. Otherwise, if the space is too small, if you put some furniture randomly, there won't be much space left."

Deng Changxiong asked curiously: "Jiu Gong, how do you plan to decorate this house?"

Deng Shirong said: "I plan to make it look like an ancient house."

This answer was beyond Deng Changxiong's expectation. He looked confused and said: "Pretend to be an ancient house? What does that look like?"

Others also looked at each other, completely confused as to how this house could pretend to be an ancient house.

It’s no wonder they don’t understand that in rural areas of this era, the understanding of decoration is to paint the walls and match it with furniture, which is a good decoration. Who knows about ancient style, modern style, European and American style?

Even city dwellers, who are more knowledgeable and have better aesthetics than rural folks, are not too particular about decoration in this era. If they can have a ceiling and terrazzo or marble floors, that is the most fashionable thing. Renovated.

antiquity?

What is that?

Deng Shirong also knew that they couldn't understand, so he didn't explain too much. He just smiled and said: "I have asked the architects in Nanning to help design the decoration plan. When the house is installed, you will know what it will look like." ”

These words undoubtedly shocked a few people. To decorate a house, you need to ask an architect from Nanning to design a plan?

It feels to a few people as if you have to go to some master to design your clothes.

Deng Changxiong from Kaimang Bamboo Weaving Factory was the first to react and said with emotion: "You actually asked an architect from Nanning to design a decoration plan. It seems that Jiugong wants to decorate the house extremely beautifully!"

This bamboo weaving is a work of art. As the boss, Deng Changxiong is indeed better than the other tribesmen in terms of aesthetics, so he more or less understands Jiugong's approach.

Although other people don't quite understand, they all understand one thing. When decorating a house, you go to Nanning to hire an architect to design it. This proves that the house must be decorated to be as beautiful as possible, and it is definitely not just a casual decoration. kind of.

Therefore, several people could not help but look forward to it.

Deng Yungui said: "Uncle Jiu, originally I wanted to paint the house white, connect the wires, and buy some furniture before moving in. But I saw that you specially hired an architect to design a decoration plan, so I will simply install it first. Take out the apartment and live in it, and then make a decision on the other three apartments based on your decoration.”

Deng Changbao also nodded and said: "Me too, let's see how your house is decorated, Mr. Jiu, and then decide how my house should be decorated."

"Then I will give you a sample first. You should have an idea of ​​how to decorate it."

At this point, Deng Shirong looked at the time and invited: "It's getting late now, come to my place for a few drinks!"

Deng Yungui is still running the cylinder tile factory in partnership with Uncle Jiu. With the relationship between the two of them, there is no need to talk to others, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I haven't had a drink with Uncle Jiu for a while!"

Deng Yungui took the lead, and the others did not refuse, but nodded in agreement.

So, the group of people went downstairs and walked towards Suifeng Hotel.
