Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

After spending July 14th at home, Deng Shirong and his third son went to the capital.

Nowadays, Tenglong Passenger Transport Company has opened a route from Bobai to Nanning. Naturally, Deng Shirong and his son took the company's buses.

As the bus drove away from Bobai, Deng Shirong couldn't help but sigh.

He still remembered that six years ago, he took his two daughters to Longtanwei for the first time. At that time, the younger daughter was immediately stunned by the prosperity of Longtanwei. Her appearance of having never seen the world made Deng Shirong feel a little sad. So he told the sisters that when his second son was admitted to college, he would take the brothers and sisters out to see the world.

At that time, the two sisters were so happy!

Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the change. Unexpectedly, he met his eldest daughter-in-law during a rare visit to Longtanwei. Then, under his operation, he successfully married his eldest daughter-in-law back for the New Year.

After the second son was admitted to college, the eldest daughter-in-law was already several months pregnant. Naturally, the promise of taking the brothers and sisters out to see the world could not be fulfilled.

And after he took the train once, he completely gave up the idea of ​​taking his children out to see the world. The transportation in this era is really screwed up. Traveling far away is just looking for trouble. If he wants to see the world, he can buy a private house later. Or wait until the train speeds up!

In the afternoon, Deng Shirong and his son arrived in Nanning.

After leaving the station, Deng Yunsong touched his hungry belly and said, "Dad, please take me to try the old friend noodles. You and my second brother both said it was very delicious. I've been hungry for it for a long time!"

"Okay, today I will take you to try the most distinctive Laoyou Noodles in Nanning." With that, Deng Shirong took his third son to a certain Laoyou Noodles shop. The Laoyou Noodles here are very delicious. It's true that every time he goes to Nanning, he will come over and have a bowl.

Half an hour later.

Deng Yunsong finally tasted the old friend noodles that he had been craving for a long time. The taste was indeed as spicy and sour as his father and second brother said, and he couldn't stop eating it.

After more than ten minutes of chopping up a bowl of Laoyou noodles with soup, Deng Yunsong took out a towel from his luggage bag, wiped his sweat and said with praise: "Dad, the taste of this Laoyou noodles is still good." It’s really good. After a bowl of powder, your whole stomach feels so good. ”

At this time, Deng Shirong also finished eating the noodles. In this hot weather, eating this hot old friend noodles without air conditioning or fan made his whole body sweaty. In fact, the dining experience was not good, so he took out a towel to wipe it off. Khan said, "This powder is more comfortable to eat when the weather is cold."

Deng Yunsong nodded and said, "That's true. I'm so hot now that I'm sweating all over my body. I won't feel comfortable riding in the car later."

Deng Shirong said: "I won't take the bus today. I'll go to the Xiyuan Hotel to stay one night, take a good bath and sleep, and then take the bus to the capital tomorrow."

The Xiyuan Hotel was built in 1958 and covers an area of ​​187,000 square meters. It has a garden environment, courtyard structure, green grass and trees, green lakes and rockeries, pavilions and pavilions, birds singing and flowers fragrant, and pleasant scenery. It is a southern garden hotel with ethnic characteristics. style hotel.

Previously, this high-end hotel, managed by a government department, was heavily guarded. Only leaders were entertained, and no idlers were allowed in.

Until the reform and opening up in recent years, the Xiyuan Hotel has also been opened, and ordinary people can stay here.

Deng Shirong didn't know before that all the guest houses he came to Nanning to stay in were not very good. It wasn't until last year that he had a lot of contact with architects and talked about accommodation issues. He didn't know about it until he came to Nanning. That kind of rubbish guest house, but choose to stay in a high-end hotel of this era.

Deng Yunsong, who was traveling far away for the first time, naturally had no objection and nodded in agreement.

…

Beijing.

A certain restaurant.

Zhou Shengli, Wang DaDa, and Tian Chunzhi gathered together for dinner.

The food was quite delicious, but none of the three of them had much appetite. They all looked sad, as if they had lost hundreds of thousands.

Tian Chunzhi took a few bites of the food, but really lost her appetite, so she put down her chopsticks and said, "Lao Zhou, do you think something happened to Boss Deng?"

Zhou Shengli frowned and said, "There shouldn't be any accidents, right?"

Wang boldly said: "Boss Deng has already arrived at this time in previous years. This year he has not come yet, and there is no news. If it is just something that delayed it, it is okay, but I am afraid that there is a problem with the transportation channel, then we can't do this." It’s a business.”

Hearing this, Zhou Shengli and Tian Chunzhi both felt nervous. In the past few years, they have made a lot of money by cooperating with Boss Deng, and the money was made very easily. They earned tens of thousands of dollars in just a few days. , just like picking up money.

Later, the cooperation was not limited to longan, but also added ground pineapple and wood pineapple, and the money was made more and more.

It can be said that the quick money they make by cooperating with Boss Deng has exceeded their original business.

If such huge profits were lost, they would be heartbroken.

Zhou Shengli said: "It shouldn't happen. It has been postponed for less than ten days. It is very likely that Boss Deng is already on the way. Let's wait patiently for a few more days and see."

Tian Chunzhi said: "Well, we can't get into trouble, so just wait patiently for a few more days and see."

…

While Zhou Shengli and the others were anxious, Deng Shirong and his third son had already boarded the train to the capital.

Deng Yunsong was looking forward to taking a train for the first time. Although he heard his second brother complain more than once that it was too difficult to ride on the train, it did not stop him from yearning for trains.

However, with this kind of expectation, after squeezing into the train and sitting for a few minutes, Deng Yunsong completely understood why the second brother complained. Is this train really for people?

The weather is very hot now. Even if everyone stands still, they will be sweating profusely. In the past, passengers all carried their luggage and squeezed into the train. You can imagine how much sweat they would sweat. Anyway, the whole carriage was covered with sweat. It has a strong smell of sweat and sourness, mixed with various smells such as foot odor, salty radish, salted fish, etc.

Even if the car windows are open and the wind is constantly blowing in through the windows, there is no way to dispel the smell in a short period of time.

Deng Shirong runs to the capital every year. After so many times, he has adapted to the trains of this era. When he saw his third son looking languid and unable to cheer up after getting on the train, he couldn't help but said: "If you feel uncomfortable, just take it." Just sleep by the window, even if you can't fall asleep, the time will pass faster when you are half asleep. "

Deng Yunsong shook his head and said, "No, I brought a book, just read it."

"Old cousin, are you sending your child to study abroad?"

The person who asked the question was a middle-aged man sitting opposite Deng Shirong. He looked a few years younger than Deng Shirong. The young man sitting next to him was about the same age as Deng Yunsong and looked like a student studying abroad.

Deng Shirong nodded and said: "Yes, looking at your situation, my dear, are you also sending your children to study abroad?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Well, my son has been admitted to the medical university in the capital. I am sending him to school this time."

When he said this, the joy in the heart of the middle-aged man could not be hidden, and the smile on his face was very bright. One can imagine how proud he was as a father that his son had been admitted to the medical university in the capital.

Deng Shirong, a father, also understands this very well. Beijing Medical University is also ranked relatively high among the top 100 key universities. In this era, no matter whose children can be admitted to such a university, it is something for parents to be proud of. one thing.

"It's good to be a doctor. In this world, many professions are likely to change, but the profession of doctor is extremely important, both now and in the future, because it is inevitable for people to get sick, and as long as they are sick, they need doctors. , Your son has a bright future!"

The middle-aged man laughed loudly, and his son also showed a proud expression.

"My dear, I'm so grateful. Only a capable doctor has a future. Whether he can become a doctor or not depends on his own efforts."

Having said this, the middle-aged man asked: "Old cousin, where did your son go to school?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It is also a school in the capital. We are all fellow Guangxi people. We can take care of each other when we study in the capital in the future."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's son looked at Deng Yunsong curiously and asked, "Classmate, which school do you go to?"

Deng Yunsong just took out the book and replied: "Tsinghua University."

After these two words came out, the father and son sitting opposite seemed to have been suddenly tapped. They were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide and could not close their mouths for a while.

After he came to his senses, the middle-aged man's son, who was originally quite proud, could no longer be proud anymore. He gave a thumbs up and said, "Awesome!"

Although Tsinghua University and Medical University are both among the top 100 universities, the gap between Medical University and Tsinghua University is still very large.

The middle-aged man's attitude changed at this time, and he exclaimed: "Tsinghua University, my son, your son is really amazing!"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It's not bad. My son, your son is also great."

At this point, the two sides were able to talk.

Knowing that Deng Yunsong was a top student at Tsinghua University, the middle-aged man and his son had a correct attitude, and the conversation between them was naturally very pleasant.

Through chatting, Deng Shirong also learned some simple information about the father and son.

The middle-aged man's name is Li Guofeng. He is from Nanning and is the deputy director of a factory. His family background is quite good. His son's name is Li Zhifu, who is the same age as Deng Yunsong, but the month is older than Deng Yunsong.

With both parties willing to make friends, within just a few days on the train, we got along like old friends.

…

afternoon.

A certain department of the Beijing Planning Commission.

It was already after get off work, and the boss and colleagues had left. After Deng Yunheng organized the documents on the table, he locked the office door and walked out of the office building, preparing to go back to the residential compound to make some food.

As soon as I walked out of the office building, the voice of the third child came: "Second brother!"

Deng Yunheng followed the sound and saw his father and his third child standing twenty meters away, waiting. He couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised, and quickly walked over and asked, "Dad, Xiaosong, when did you arrive in the capital?"

"We arrived in the morning. Dad took me to school to register and get settled, and then I came here to find you."

While talking, Deng Yunsong had been looking at his second brother's workplace. When he saw the solemn Planning Commission building in front of him, he said with envy: "Second brother, your workplace is so impressive!"

"You look at the grandeur, that means you know what kind of place this is. In terms of architecture, it's not as good as our hotel!"

With that said, Deng Yunheng led the way: "Dad, Xiaosong, come with me. I will take you to where I live."

Deng Shirong hummed, and then walked with his third son and his second son towards the residential compound of the Planning Commission. Like the office building, this residential compound was built a few years after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Now it has been more than 30 years. In the past, it was very old.

The residential compound is as shown below:

Deng Yunheng introduced while leading the way: "Dad, Xiaosong, don't look at our residential compound as very old, but all the buildings have independent kitchens, toilets and balconies, as well as supporting heating facilities and water supply. , this supporting facility is already very good among many units. ”

Deng Yunsong asked: "Second brother, which floor do you live on?"

Deng Yunheng said: "I live on the third floor. The houses allocated by our unit are allocated according to levels. Those at the department level and department level can be allocated two bedrooms, so I live in a two-bedroom apartment now. Those at the deputy bureau level or above can be allocated You can get a three- or four-bedroom apartment, and you can also get a sofa set.

Those above the official level can also install a landline phone at home. In short, different levels enjoy different benefits. "

Deng Shirong said: "This is a normal thing. If everyone is treated the same, then why should we be a leader?"

Deng Yunsong answered with a smile: "Second brother, it's great that you can get a second bedroom!"

While they were talking, the father and son had already reached the third floor. Deng Yunheng took out the key and opened the door.

Entering the house, Deng Shirong glanced at the kitchen and asked, "Do you usually cook for yourself?"

Deng Yunheng shook his head and said, "No, I only cook it myself when I'm not busy and want to change my taste. Otherwise, I'll always eat out."

Deng Shirong said: "Then you two brothers, let's talk. I'll go out for a walk, buy some food and come back to cook."

Deng Yunheng said quickly: "Dad, you guys have been working hard all the way in the car, so stop working. You can take a break and go out to eat."

Deng Yunsong also said: "Yes, Dad, if you go out to buy groceries and come back to cook at this time, you won't even know when the food will be ready!"

There was a lot of food in Deng Shirong's system space, but it was a pity that he couldn't take it out: "Okay, let's go out to eat!"

…

Forty minutes later.

In a restaurant not far from the Planning Commission's residential compound, the father and son ordered a few dishes and chatted while eating.

"Dad, has the date for sister's wedding been set?"

"The time is set for the 24th of the twelfth lunar month this year. Then you can look at your situation. If there is a holiday or you can get a leave, then come back. If there is no holiday or it is difficult to get a leave, then don't bother!"

"Well, I understand. Let's see then. It's still early and there's no way to be sure."

"How is your current job? Is it going well?"

"It went well. My boss values ​​me very much now."

The father and son chatted for a while, and then Deng Shirong said: "Now that Xiao Song has gone to college, you need to pay attention to the issues you need to pay attention to after entering college, as well as how to join the Youth League Committee or the Student Union, and how to become a leader. You should follow him carefully on these." Tell me, you are the only one in our family who has experience in this area."

Deng Yunheng nodded, and imparted his experience to the third child without reservation. These experiences were all figured out by himself. After all, when he entered university, no one taught him these things, and his father only learned about the macro. Just give him some advice.

After listening to his second brother's words of experience, Deng Yunsong naturally benefited a lot and was full of fighting spirit for his upcoming college career.

The father and son ate this meal until dark before returning to Deng Yunheng's two-bedroom apartment to take a shower and rest.

Early the next morning.

The father and son had a simple breakfast. Deng Shirong took out two thousand yuan and handed it to his second son and said, "Take this money. Although you are working now, your salary is not high. You have to be outside all day." You have to eat, buy daily necessities, or buy something, and you can’t do it without some money.”

The family is not short of money now, so Deng Yunheng was not polite to his father. He took the money and said, "Thank you, Dad!"

Deng Shirong took out another five hundred yuan and gave it to his third son and said: "Xiao Song, this is for you. If you want to make friends, but you don't have certain financial conditions to support it, you will be constrained in doing things. If you have enough With money close by, things will go much smoother for you.”

Deng Yunsong took the money and said, "Dad, I know!"

Deng Shirong then looked at his second son and said, "Then you go to work, we'll leave first!"

Deng Yunheng nodded, looked at the third child and said, "Xiao Song, come over and play during the holidays."

Deng Yunsong responded: "I understand, second brother."

…

Ruyi Fresh Fruit Shop.

Zhou Shengli looked outside with dull eyes. It had been delayed for more than ten days, and there was still no news from Boss Deng. Now he felt like those women who don't want to get pregnant. Every day his period is delayed, he becomes more anxious.

Of course, he is not alone. Wang Dadan and Tian Chunzhi are also suffering a lot these days.

After trying the taste of making quick money, it is quite heartbreaking to lose it.

Just when Zhou Shengli was thinking wildly, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his sight. He was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he quickly reached out and rubbed his eyes. When he found out that it was true, he was instantly overjoyed, and he went up to him excitedly and said : "Boss Deng, you are finally here!"

Seeing this, Deng Shirong couldn't help but smile and said: "Boss Zhou, I'm sorry, I had something delayed this year, so I came a little late."

Zhou Shengli said with a happy face: "It's not too late, Boss Deng, please come in and sit down."

Soon, the two came to the warehouse behind the fresh fruit shop again.

After a few words of greeting, Deng Shirong said: "Boss Zhou, this year's goods are still the same as last year's. The prices of ground pineapples and longans remain unchanged, but the price of wood pineapples is about one yuan and a half per catty." , how much do you want?"

Zhou Shengli pondered: "For ground pineapples, we will need 400 tons this year, and for wood pineapples we will need 200 tons. How many longans are there?"

Deng Shirong said: "The longan is the same as last year. We can provide you with up to 100 tons."

"That's 100 tons."

Zhou Shengli nodded and then asked: "Boss Deng, the settlement method is still the same as last year, where you pay part of the bill first and wait for a few days before settling the rest. Is that okay?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem, we have been working together for so many years."

Zhou Shengli said: "Thank you, Boss Deng, for your trust. I wonder when the goods will arrive?"

Deng Shirong took out a piece of paper and handed it over, saying: "As per the old rules, you can just send a car to this address early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I will notify Lao Wang and Xiaotian now, and then arrange the manpower."

"Um!"

…

Early the next morning.

Zhou Shengli, Wang DaDa, and Tian Chunzhi arrived at the entrance of a warehouse with a mighty motorcade.

When they met Deng Shirong, Wang Daming and Tian Chunzhi felt as if they were seeing relatives they had lost contact with for many years. What a passion!

This time, Deng Shirong arrived more than ten days late, which made Boss Zhou and the three people suffer. At the same time, they also became more aware of the importance of Boss Deng to them. They were all thinking about how to win over Boss Deng and keep this business going for a long time. Keep doing it.

After weighing the goods, Zhou Shengli and the others paid half of the payment.

Then, Tian Chunzhi asked: "Boss Deng, do you have time in the evening? I would like to treat you to dinner."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Boss Tian, ​​I'm sorry, I still have things to deal with here. I'll come over to treat you to dinner in a few days!"

Tian Chunzhi said quickly: "Boss Deng, when you come to the capital, it's our turn to entertain you. How can we let you treat us to dinner?"

Zhou Shengli also answered: "Yes, please give us a chance to entertain, Boss Deng."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It's just a meal, it doesn't matter who invites you, so you go ahead and get busy. I'll come back in a few days."

Zhou Shengli and the others said politely: "Okay, Boss Deng, go slowly!"

…

"Aunt Wang, there are longans, ground pineapples and wood pineapples for sale at the corner of the street. If you want to buy them, go quickly!"

"Oh, it's finally here. My eldest grandson has been craving for longan for many days!"

"Wow, I can eat the fragrant pineapple again. I really love this fruit. It tastes delicious and sweet. It's a pity that it is only available for a few days throughout the year."

"Finally I can eat pineapple again. This sweet and sour pineapple is my favorite."

"Every time I eat these fruits, I really want to become a southerner. Why don't we in the north have so many delicious fruits?"

"Hey, these fruits are delicious, but they are too expensive, so I can't afford them!"

"I can't help it. They shipped it all the way from the south. It's understandable that the price is higher. If you buy it in the south, I believe these fruits are not expensive."

"The longan is so delicious. I really want to taste the lychee that even Concubine Yang has been obsessed with. I don't know how delicious this lychee is."

"Yeah, I'm very curious too. Unfortunately, I heard that it's very difficult to keep lychees fresh. It's probably very difficult to eat lychees in our capital city."

"Oh, it's such a pity. I hope I have the opportunity to travel to the south in the future and taste the dazzling variety of fruits in the south."

"..."

As Zhou Shengli and the others opened up the sales channels for longan, ground pineapple, and wood pineapple, the long-awaited residents of the capital flocked to the market, and these three fruits began to be sold at an alarming rate.

Every day, a large amount of cash is withdrawn, bringing huge profits to Zhou Shengli and the others.

This speed of making money makes the three of them excited, but at the same time they are very worried. They are afraid that Boss Deng will stop the business in one year, which will be really fatal!
