Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Lunar New Year's eve.

Naye Village.

Deng Shirong once again cooked a large table of dishes. This year is probably the last time that the eldest daughter will celebrate the New Year at her parents' house. After she gets married next year, she will have to stay at her husband's house to celebrate the New Year.

In other parts of our country, it is normal for a daughter to take her son-in-law back to her parents' home to celebrate the New Year.

But it's different in Bobai Realm.

If the natal family is close, it is okay for the daughter to take her son-in-law back to her natal family for a reunion dinner. Many couples did this in later generations, and those son-in-laws derided this behavior as "annual review."

However, it is okay to have a reunion dinner, but you will definitely not stay overnight. No matter now or in future generations, unless there are some special circumstances, no daughter or son-in-law will stay overnight on New Year's Eve. No matter how late it is, they must go back to their in-laws' house.

Of course, this is in a rural area. If it is in a city, it is not so particular.

During the meal, Deng Yuntai, Zhang Xiuping, Deng Yunzhen and Deng Yunzhu drank with Deng Shirong.

After Deng Shirong came back from his reincarnation, he liked to drink two glasses of wine every day with his meals. However, he drank alcohol, but he was not an alcoholic. He had never been truly drunk, unlike those alcoholics who would never stop until they were completely drunk.

Drinking that kind of wine means nothing to Deng Shirong. He drinks just for fun.

Under his influence, his son, daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law would drink with him during festivals or other occasions worthy of celebration.

As for Deng Yunsong, Deng Yunhua, and Deng Yunheng, the three who are still under the age of 18, they can only drink Jianlibao at the moment.

When it comes to Jianlibao, those born in the 1970s and 1980s probably have a very deep impression on it. Even some people born in the 90s probably drank this stuff when they were young.

Since its birth, this domestic beverage has been making rapid progress for more than ten years and has become the undisputed big brother in the domestic beverage industry. Looking at it, no domestic beverage is worthy of its opponent. It can be said to be extremely awesome.

However, it was this drink that was in the right place at the right time and could be used to confer gods. In the end, it did not fail in the competition with its opponents, but died in internal fighting. It was really a pity.

The family was chatting while eating, and the topic naturally focused on Deng Yunzhen's marriage.

Deng Yunzhu asked: "Sister, the second brother wrote back and said that the holiday cannot be determined in advance, so when do you plan to serve the wine?"

Deng Yunzhen put down her chopsticks, looked at her father and said, "Let dad decide this. I can do it anytime."

"The house in the county town has been renovated before. I plan to use this house as a wedding room for you, so when to serve the wine will be decided based on the progress of the house decoration next year." After speaking, Deng Shirong picked up a piece of sand. The insects slowly began to bite.

This is what he specially stir-fries for drinking. Pour a large bowl of raw salt into the pot. After the raw salt is heated, add dried sandworms and stir-fry slowly over medium-low heat. The fried sandworms will be fragrant, sweet and quite delicious. It's chewy and a very good dish to go with wine, but it's too expensive and most people would never be willing to eat it like this.

Hearing this, Deng Yunzhu said with emotion: "Sister, my future brother-in-law is really lucky to be able to marry you in his eight lifetimes!"

Zhang Xiuping also smiled and said: "Yes, it is a hotel and a house. A Zhen, your dowry is probably the only one in the county."

Deng Yunzhen couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She was not greedy for her mother's dowry, but her father silently prepared such a good dowry for her, which showed that he attached great importance to her as his daughter. This was what made her happiest.

Deng Shirong took a sip of wine and continued: "You seven brothers and sisters, I have made arrangements for you. Even if you just follow the steps, this life will be enough for you to live a wealthy life. If you have the ability, It would be better if I arranged to make your business bigger and stronger."

Deng Yunzhu's eyes lit up when he heard this and asked, "Dad, have you made arrangements for me?"

She is now in her second year of high school, with one and a half years left until graduation. She was not in a hurry to think about what to do after graduation. In addition, her second cousin-in-law had given her a suggestion before, asking her to go to a normal school in the county after graduating from high school. .

Although she had no interest in continuing her studies, becoming a teacher after studying in normal school was a good job. She did not refuse it firmly and planned to talk about it when the time came.

But now that her father's words had paved the way for her, she was naturally very interested.

Deng Shirong said: "Don't worry, you have everything your sister has. We'll talk about the details after you graduate."

When Deng Yunzhu heard this, she scratched her head and cheeks and said, "Dad, you said half of what you said. Didn't you mean to make me anxious?"

Deng Shirong sighed and said: "Your grades are not good to begin with. If I had told you in advance, you might not be interested in studying anymore. Although I don't expect you to be admitted to college, you have to finish high school seriously." ah!"

Deng Yunzhu rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, don't worry, tell me, I promise to finish high school seriously."

Deng Shirong saw that she was so curious and knew better than to tell her. She probably had to think about this all day long, so he helplessly revealed: "You have also seen the hot pot restaurant opened by your eldest cousin. After you graduate from high school, , If you can’t get into college, then open a hot pot restaurant!”

Deng Yunzhu said in surprise: "Opening a hotpot restaurant?"

Deng Yuntai, Zhang Xiuping, Deng Yunzhen and others were also a little surprised when they heard this. They did not expect that their father (father-in-law) had arranged for Azhu (second sister) to open a hotpot restaurant.

Although the mutton hot pot restaurant opened by Bu Dashi's cousin seems to be doing well, there is still a big gap compared with Suifeng Restaurant.

Deng Shirong smiled and asked: "What? You all think hot pot restaurants are worse than restaurants?"

Zhang Xiuping said: "Dad, our vision cannot compare with yours, and our knowledge of hot pot restaurants is also limited. It was only after my cousin followed your advice and opened that mutton hot pot restaurant that we knew what the hot pot restaurant looked like. ”

Deng Yunzhu also nodded and said: "Yes, Dad, the mutton hot pot opened by my eldest cousin is the first hot pot restaurant we have ever seen. We really don't know enough about it."

Deng Shirong picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it and said: "Because our country is a vast country with abundant resources and numerous ethnic groups, the customs and food culture of various places are very different. Therefore, in the catering industry, the tastes across the country are very different." Difficult to unify.

The dishes that we think are delicious may be found by people in other provinces to be average or even unpalatable. The dishes that people from other provinces may find delicious may be found to be terribly unpalatable to us.

It can be said that there are very few delicacies that can be unanimously recognized by people across the country, and hot pot is one of them. "

Deng Yunzhu was stunned when she heard this: "Dad, is this hot pot so good?"

Others were also shocked when they heard this. In this era of limited information, they had never traveled far, so their understanding of hot pot was indeed limited.

Looking at his son and daughter-in-law who looked shocked, Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Of course it's awesome. No matter which province you live in, except for a very small number of people, most people like to eat hot pot. Think about how big the market is?

If this hot pot business is well run, it can open branches just like a supermarket. If you have the ability, Azhu, you can open hot pot branches all over the country. By then, how profitable this hot pot chain store will be will probably exceed all of our imaginations. "

Deng Yunzhu felt a burning sensation in her heart after hearing this, and she wished she could open hotpot restaurants all over the country immediately.

Deng Yuntai was also shocked when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down and said: "It is not easy to run a hot pot restaurant well, let alone open hot pot restaurants all over the country. This does not happen overnight. Ah "Zhu, you'd better finish high school seriously first, and then prepare your hot pot restaurant from scratch. Once you have accumulated rich experience and made money, it's not too late to consider opening a branch."

Deng Yunzhen agreed: "Yes, Dad is just telling you about the market prospects of this industry. How can this business be so easy?"

Deng Yunzhu was still relatively clear-headed. Of course, she knew that opening hot pot restaurants all over the country was an unreachable goal. She responded: "Brother, sister, I understand. It's not like I really don't understand anything. I can't make a meal in one bite." I still know the truth about fat people.”

Hearing this, Deng Shirong said happily: "Just think about it this way. Opening hot pot all over the country is your ultimate goal. In actual operation, it will naturally develop step by step. But that is all for the future. Your goal now is to study hard and master as much knowledge as possible, which will also be helpful for your future development.”

Deng Yunzhu nodded and said: "Dad, I understand, I will study hard."

Hearing this, Deng Yunhua couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Dad, what about me? What business have you arranged for me?"

Deng Shirong said with a speechless expression: "You are only in the first year of high school, why are you so anxious?"

Deng Yunhua was very unconvinced and said: "The second sister is only one grade higher than me."

Deng Shirong glanced at him and said: "Your second sister is indeed only one grade higher than you, but she is four years older than you and is already an adult. I just told her in advance that you are still too early to become an adult. , I told you in vain.

Your grades are not good to begin with, so don't think about it, just finish high school honestly. "

Deng Yunhua responded helplessly: "Oh!"

Deng Shirong thought for a while, then revealed a little bit to him, and said: "I will arrange all the business of you brothers and sisters in Nanning. After all, Bobai is just a county town, and its development prospects cannot be compared with the capital city of Nanning."

Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping had known before that their father had bought land and built a building in Nanning, so they were naturally very calm when they heard this. However, this was the first time for Deng Yunzhu, Deng Yunhua and others to hear about it. While they were surprised, they were inevitably a little uneasy.

Nanning, the capital of Guangxi, is indeed not comparable to Bobai.

However, it is normal for them to feel pressure if they are asked to leave the familiar environment of Bobai and go to Nanning to develop.

Of course, this is something for the future, it’s too early to think about it now.

Next, the family did not talk much about this topic, but talked about the most popular topic in the family recently - rebuilding the ancestral hall.

…

county seat.

County government compound.

County Magistrate Song and his family were also having a reunion dinner.

Song Yu currently works in Nanning, and it takes a few hours to get home by shuttle bus. During the Spring Festival holiday, she naturally has to go home to celebrate the New Year.

Song Yu has three brothers and sisters. The eldest brother has no talent for reading. He barely managed to graduate from high school and then worked in a food company under the arrangement of his father. He is now a small leader in the food company. kind.

My sister-in-law also works in a food company and is an ordinary employee.

The younger sister also failed to enter college and was arranged by her father to work in an electrical company.

There is nothing to say about the jobs of the eldest brother, sister-in-law, and younger sister. They just have stable jobs, and their development prospects are naturally not comparable to those of Soong Yu. Therefore, during the meal, the family’s conversation was all about Soong Yu and for her development. "Advice and advice."

After giving some advice to his eldest daughter based on his own work experience, County Magistrate Song asked: "Xiaoyu, have you still been in contact with your schoolmate Deng Yunheng recently?"

Song Yu said: "Of course there is contact. We often write letters."

County Magistrate Song said: "I heard from his father before that he also chose to enter politics after graduating from college this year. Where is he assigned to work now?"

Song Yu said with some admiration: "He joined the Planning Committee, and his work is going quite smoothly so far. He gets along well with his colleagues and leaders."

County Magistrate Song heard this and praised: "If you join the ministry, you will really have a bright future. If you work hard in the ministry for a few years, and then be transferred to the local government, you will probably be on an equal footing with me. It's really amazing." !”

Brother Song was shocked and said: "Dad, it's not that exaggerated, is it? It only takes a few years of hard work to reach your level?"

County Magistrate Song glanced at his eldest son and said: "I asked you to study hard, but you couldn't get into it. The value of Peking University is beyond your imagination. Xiaoyu chose to go back to Nanning to work. If everything goes well, Ten It is very possible to reach my level within this year.

And Deng Yunheng's entry into the ministries and commissions is even more remarkable. As long as he is appreciated by the leaders in the ministries and commissions, he can be promoted much faster than at the local level. If Xiaoyu can reach my level within ten years, then Deng Yunheng will probably only need five or six years. In a few years, you can reach my level. "

Mother Song, Brother Song, Sister Song, and Little Sister Song were stunned when they heard these words.

Song Yu said with emotion: "When he was in school, his performance was quite outstanding. He was one of the most influential figures in the school. When he started working, he should be no worse than anyone else. In a few years, he could be promoted to Dad's level." , is also a normal thing.

After all, as we graduated from Peking University, our starting point is the end point that many people will never reach in their lifetime. There is no comparison at all. "

Brother Song and Xiaomei Song looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Compared with people like them who couldn't get into college, there was really a big gap between them and the students from Peking University like their eldest sister.

Song's mother answered: "Speaking of you as a schoolmate, your father still owes someone else's father a favor!"

Song Yu looked at his father and asked doubtfully: "Dad, what favor do you owe Uncle Deng?"

County Magistrate Song said: "This year's early rice in our county has suffered from serious pests and diseases. In June, your uncle Deng came to my office and reported a problem to me, that is, their Naye Deng family had to go to the county seat. When I came to build a community, I didn't have much time to plant early rice, so I directly planted sweet potatoes. Unexpectedly, I accidentally avoided the pests and diseases that swept the county.

Therefore, when he reported the problem to me, he also suggested that I convene the leaders of each township for a meeting to fully promote the planting of sweet potatoes in late rice to prevent the same diseases and pests as early rice in late rice, and to resume rice planting next year.

At that time, I thought his idea was indeed a good one. Regardless of whether the people in the countryside listened to his advice or not, our county government had done its best anyway. "

After hearing this, Song Yu understood and answered: "It seems that this year's late rice in the county has also suffered from pests and diseases?"

County Magistrate Song nodded and said: "Yes, this year's late rice has once again suffered from pests and diseases that have swept across the county. Fortunately, many people listened to the advice and chose to plant sweet potatoes, thus greatly reducing the losses. Otherwise, I am afraid not many people will be able to live in peace this year." Happy New Year.”

"So, dad, you really owe Uncle Deng a big favor!" Song Yu is now a member of the system, so he naturally understands this kind of major matter related to people's livelihood. If his father handles it well, it will also be a big deal. Remarkable political achievements.

County Magistrate Song smiled and said, "I'll just return the favor when I get the chance."

…

In the evening, people from Shangxia Ersan Village routinely came to Deng Shirong's house to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Before the Spring Festival Gala started, everyone was sitting around chatting.

While chatting, the topic of electricity came up.

Deng Yungui said: "The three-tube power station of Laohutou Reservoir has been built this year. I don't know if we in Bangjie will have the opportunity to get electricity."

Deng Yunqiang shook his head and said: "It's difficult. There is no news at all now. I guess it won't be our turn."

Deng Yunfeng said: "I heard someone from the power supply station say before that the electricity from Laohutou Reservoir will be supplied to Longtan, Dam, Nabu, Shapi, Songwang, Xintian, Dadong and our Shuangwang and other towns. The scope of power supply is so The power supply is actually not enough, so apart from the fact that Wei City must be electrified, the villages below can only depend on the situation.”

Deng Yunkun said: "It's really inconvenient to have no electricity. We can't use any household appliances."

Deng Yunfeng said with a smile: "If you want to use electricity, then quickly renovate the house in the county town. After you move to the county town, you won't have to worry about running out of electricity."

Deng Yunqiang said: "Of course the houses in the county town need to be renovated, but we still live in the village most of the time, so it would be best if the village can have electricity."

Deng Yungui looked at Deng Shirong and said, "Uncle Jiu, why don't you go talk to the township leaders about this matter before the New Year is over? With Uncle Jiu's reputation in Shuangwang, I believe even the township leaders will give you three cents of face." Yes, maybe we can get the power on first!"

Deng Shirong's heart moved when he heard this.

If the development in the previous life is followed, their village will still have to wait for electricity!

For the tribesmen in the previous life, except for a few families with good conditions, most tribesmen actually didn't care at all whether there was electricity or not, because even if there was electricity, they would only install one light bulb at most, and then they could not bear to use it for a few minutes a day. The monthly electricity bill can be controlled to the point where future generations will be stunned.

This is why in the previous life, the electricity consumption of the whole village at Hengmenkou was less than half of the electricity consumption of Deng Shirong's household. It was too economical.

But this life is different. Under his influence, the economic conditions of the tribe are no longer comparable to those in the previous life. Naturally, they are eager to have electricity in the village as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Deng Shirong responded: "Okay, after the Chinese New Year, I will go to the township leaders to talk about this matter and try to get our Bangjie to have electricity as soon as possible."

As soon as these words came out, all the clansmen couldn't help but become happy.

Their confidence in the clan leader is quite sufficient. If the clan leader comes forward, they believe that it will only be a matter of time before the village gets electricity.

As a result, everyone was talking about what household appliances they would buy after the village received electricity, as if it was a certainty that the village would receive electricity.

Soon, amid the discussions among the tribesmen, the annual Spring Festival Gala officially started.

Then, the clan members shut their mouths and focused all their attention on the TV.

The Spring Festival Gala is still as exciting as ever.

In particular, the sketch "Mutton Skewers" performed by the golden pair of Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao made the tribesmen burst into laughter. The hawker played by Chen Peisi was very impressive, and he was worthy of being the leader in the sketch industry in this era.

As for Uncle Benshan, he only started appearing on the Spring Festival Gala in 1990. His time has not yet come!

As the clock rang at midnight, Deng Shirong was in a trance. He was born in 1936. When he was reborn in 1980, he was already 44 years old. Now time has come to 1986 unknowingly. This year he will It’s my 50th birthday.

As the saying goes, you know your destiny at fifty. When most people reach this age, their life has probably entered a countdown. They eat what they should eat and drink what they should drink, and they should always be prepared to go see their ancestors.

But for Deng Shirong, there is no rush.

After all, he lived to be 88 years old in his previous life. Even if his life span remains unchanged in this life, he still has 38 years left to live!

…

The second day of the Lunar New Year.

Today is the day when the married daughter returns to her parents' home to visit relatives. Every household in Poxin Village is busy killing chickens and ducks to entertain guests.

Among the many people who went back to their parents' home to visit relatives, the three little sisters Zhang Xiuping, Ou Guofang, and Ou Guohua who had played together since childhood were the most eye-catching.

Needless to say, Zhang Xiuping married well. When she first got married, her father-in-law opened a pottery tile factory in partnership with others, earning a few hundred yuan a month, while her husband was a vat master in the pottery tile factory. , I also have an income of more than 200 yuan a month.

This income, even now, is frighteningly high, and five or six years ago, very few people could match it.

Moreover, this was just the beginning. Not long after, my father-in-law spent more than 300,000 yuan to open the largest and most upscale restaurant in the county. The villagers who heard the news were stunned.

What surprised them the most was that the hotel's income actually went into Zhang Xiuping's pocket...

To be honest, no one who knew the news could figure it out.

Because in this era, even the money earned by oneself has to be handed over to the parents. Only after the family is separated, will it fall into his own pocket. However, Zhang Xiuping's father-in-law spent more than 300,000 yuan to open a restaurant, but in the end, his own The son and daughter-in-law manage and collect the money. This approach is really unusual.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiuping's father-in-law took the lead in setting up a passenger transport company in the clan, and I heard that another three hundred thousand yuan was spent on it.

Now, that passenger transport company can make millions in just one Spring Festival travel rush.

Then, the whole family raised funds to build a community in the county.

Then open a supermarket.

In just a few years, various major events came one after another, which had already shocked the people of Poxin Village to numbness.

Therefore, when it comes to Zhang Xiuping, the villagers have only one thought - what a great life!

In addition to Zhang Xiuping, cousins ​​Ou Guofang and Ou Guohua are also enviable in the village.

Naturally, they are not comparable to Zhang Xiuping, but now they not only own a house in the county, but also opened a clothing store in the county. I heard that the business is also very prosperous, and they can earn at least a thousand yuan a month!

Looking at the entire Poxin Village, Zhang Xiuping's natal family can only earn a fraction of this income from other families in Poxin Village, which is considered very good.

And the Ou sisters are what they are today, naturally it is thanks to Zhang Xiuping.

After all, it was no secret in the village that Zhang Xiuping asked her father-in-law to marry them.

In short, Zhang Xiuping, Ou Guofang, and Ou Guohua, the three little sisters who have played together since childhood, are now the idols of all the girls in Poxin Village.

These unmarried girls all dream of marrying a husband as good as themselves.

Unfortunately, fantasy is just fantasy, and it is not easy to turn it into reality.
