Chapter 386: The ambition of the younger son to buy a car for his daughter-in-law

 Naye Village.

At 20:00 p.m., the much-anticipated Spring Festival Gala officially started.

After the food company paid dividends last year, every household in the Naye Deng family has at least tens of thousands in savings. This TV set worth a thousand or several hundred yuan is no longer a rarity for the tribesmen. More than 70% of the families have purchased it. TV set.

However, there are still many people in the village going to Deng Shirong's house to watch the Spring Festival Gala tonight, and this has become a habit.

This year's Spring Festival Gala, Uncle Benshan brought his sketch "Blind Date" to the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. At this moment, except for Deng Shirong, I am afraid no one thought that in the next 21st Spring Festival Gala, this person from Tieling, Liaoning The sketch actor only missed once and became the king of sketches in China.

Unlike before, as it approached midnight, the tribesmen no longer stayed to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Instead, they went home to prepare for setting off fireworks.

The Deng Shirong family is also ready to set off fireworks.

At midnight, countless bright fireworks shot up into the sky and exploded in the sky throughout the more than 20 natural villages of Naye Dengshi. The entire night sky instantly became colorful. It was really beautiful.

If someone climbs up to a high place and looks down, the picture will be truly beautiful.

Setting off fireworks and firecrackers on time at midnight is not only a custom in Bobai County, but also throughout Guangxi. In later generations, some people took pictures of the fireworks in Guangxi and uploaded them into short videos on Kuaishou, which caused quite a stir. Woolen cloth!

 After all, policies vary from place to place, and many provinces prohibit the setting off of fireworks.

 Scenes of unified fireworks like Guangxi’s are not seen in all provinces.

 …

 The second day of the Lunar New Year.

 It’s time for all the aunties in the county to visit relatives again.

After breakfast, Deng Yuntai drove a large truck owned by his cousin's freight company, took his wife and children, as well as Deng Changyuan's family and Deng Changdong's family to Longtan Poxin Village to visit relatives.

From Naye Village to Poxin Village, it is about 20 kilometers. Since the road from Shuangwangxu to Tanlian Intersection is not easy to walk, the more than 20 kilometers took more than an hour. Just arrived at the destination.

First, Deng Changyuan and Deng Changdong were sent to their father-in-law's house respectively, and then Deng Yuntai drove to his father-in-law's house.

 When both parties meet, the words to greet each other are omitted.

 After bringing all the gifts into the house, Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping sat in front of the fire with the Zhang family to warm themselves up and chat.

 Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi were playing at the door with their cousins.

 After doing some household chores, Zhang’s father asked, “Yuntai, how was the supermarket business last year?”

"not bad."

Deng Yuntai smiled slightly and asked, "Dad, is your wooden clothespin factory business going well?"

 Father Zhang smiled: “Last year we slightly expanded our production capacity, and we made more money than the year before.”

Zhang Xiuping said: "Dad, that's pretty good. How are the houses in Longtanwei being built?"

Zhang's father said: "The main part has been built, and you can move in after the decoration is completed."

Zhang Xiuping said: "Dad, the decoration should not be too careless. You have also seen the decoration of our home. Whether the house is beautiful or not depends entirely on the decoration. It is better to spend more money and decorate the house more beautifully, so that we can live like this." It’s just comfortable.”

 Sister-in-law Zhang, second sister-in-law Zhang, and third sister-in-law Zhang all secretly praised their sister-in-law after hearing this.

They have also seen the extremely beautiful decoration of their sister-in-law's house, and they all dream of living in such a beautiful house. However, it is their father-in-law who paid for the construction of the house and the decoration. No matter how they pretend, they None have a say.

Now that my sister-in-law has spoken out the words for them, they are all very happy.

 After all, with their current status as sister-in-law, what they say carries great weight, and the parents-in-law and mother-in-law are willing to listen to her sister-in-law.

Father Zhang said: "I will try my best to decorate it as beautifully as possible, but it cannot be compared with your home. The investment in decoration is too high."

 Zhang's mother then said: "As long as you are better than others in decorating, how can you compare with your in-laws?"

Zhang Xiuping picked up the bag placed next to her, took out two wads of money from it, handed it to her father and said, "Dad, this is something that Brother Tai and I honor you. You can use it to decorate your house. Don't be reluctant to spend money."

These two piles of money are 20,000 yuan. Even in later generations, few daughters who married outside the countryside can afford so much money to honor their parents. In this era, it is even more like a scorpion ( Poison) one serving.

Upon seeing this, Zhang's father quickly declined politely and said, "No, the business in the factory is pretty good now, and I still have money for renovations."

Deng Yuntai smiled and answered: "Dad, take it, this is our filial piety to you."

Seeing his son-in-law speak, Zhang's father stopped refusing and accepted the money.

Although he didn't know how much money his daughter and son-in-law's supermarket could make in a year, he also knew that it must be an astronomical figure. Twenty thousand yuan was a lot of money to them, but in the eyes of his daughter and son-in-law, it probably didn't count. What.

 Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang were filled with emotion when they saw this. They were not like Sister-in-law Zhang. When Third Sister-in-law Zhang married into their Zhang family, their sister-in-law's family was already prosperous.

Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang witnessed their sister-in-law's family's rapid rise. When their sister-in-law first married into the Deng family, although the Deng family was one of the best in the village, at that time the Deng family was still a household worth ten thousand yuan.

 But in less than ten years, the original household with 10,000 yuan has become a multi-millionaire, and the assets have expanded more than a thousand times, which is a miracle.

Seeing her father accept the money, Zhang Xiuping smiled and said: "Dad, Mom, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, Xiaojun Yafei (Zhang's third sister-in-law), Xiaoshan, my second uncle will get married on the seventh day of next month, you guys will be there We all come here for a wedding banquet every now and then.”

Hearing this, Zhang's mother perked up and asked, "Your second uncle is getting married? Where is the woman from?"

When the woman came to visit the family before, Deng Shirong only invited his closest relatives to Nanning. After all, the eldest daughter-in-law’s natal family was separated by a layer of relationship. They would definitely invite them to the wedding banquet, but when visiting the family, they usually come. He said he wouldn't invite me.

 Therefore, the Zhang family did not know that Deng Yunheng had talked about his partner's preparation for marriage.

Hearing Zhang's mother's inquiry, Zhang's father and others also looked at Zhang Xiuping curiously, waiting for her answer.

Zhang Xiuping answered her mother's question with a smile, and then she couldn't help but praise: "My second uncle is unparalleled in terms of figure, appearance, and family background. His temperament is just like that of a lady from ancient times. He is really very good." excellent."

 Father Zhang asked: “What does the woman’s family do?”

 Zhang Xiuping said: "The woman's father is a high official in the province."

As soon as these words came out, the Zhang family was naturally stunned.

For rural people, they are really important people that they will never come into contact with in their lifetime.

 Now their daughter’s brother-in-law has found a girl with such a good family background, which is really beyond their expectations.

If that girl gets married, won't my daughter have to be a sister-in-law with the daughter of a provincial official?

After talking about the wedding banquet, Zhang’s mother took her daughters-in-law to the kitchen to work while the Zhang family and his son stayed to continue chatting with Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping.

Of course, Deng Yuntai said less, mainly his wife.

After some small talk, Zhang Xiuping told her father and brothers all the recent changes in the Naye Deng family, which made her father and several brothers numb.

 …

 The custom of returning to one's parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year has been engraved in the bones of Boban people.

 Therefore, even though Deng Yunzhen could often see her father and siblings, she still took her husband and children with her and returned to her parents' home as a family on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Deng Shirong cooked another large table of dishes to entertain his daughter and son-in-law.

While eating, Zhu Junjie asked: "Dad, Xiao Song will graduate soon. Where does he plan to work after graduation? Has he set a goal now?"

Deng Shirong said: "If nothing else happens, he will still work in a ministry. He has not yet made a final decision on which ministry he will go to."

Zhu Junjie nodded and said: "It's good to go to the ministry. Yunheng is the best role model."

Deng Shirong said: "If you work in a ministry for a year or two, you will not only be promoted quickly, but you can also accumulate important connections. Later, when you work in decentralized areas, you may be able to use these connections at any time. This gives you an advantage over others."

Zhu Junjie said with envy: "It is different to study well here. In departments like ministries and commissions, only top students like Yunheng and Xiaosong can enter at will. Unless others have a background, if they want to work in such a department, that is impossible things."

Deng Yunzhen glanced at her husband: "It goes without saying that since the country resumed the college entrance examination, studying is the only way out for us rural people. If you want to be admitted to a top university like Tsinghua University and Peking University, you don't know how much effort you have to put in. After success, it will be better than before." It’s a matter of course that others have an advantage.”

Deng Shirong said with some emotion: "When it comes to studying, the seven brothers and sisters have all worked hard, but in the end only Yunheng and Xiaosong succeeded, and Xiaoheng is not bad now, but the four of you can't even go to the most ordinary university. If you can’t pass the exam, the talent gap is really big.”

Deng Yunzhu said helplessly: "We really don't have the talent to study. If we spend the same time studying, the second brother and Xiao Song can easily get 100 points, but it is difficult for us to get a passing score. It's really shocking." ”

Deng Yunhua nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Second sister is right, studying is really difficult. The more I read, the more I feel like a fool and a stupid pig. I heard our high school teacher say, does second brother have any problem?" The teacher will understand the topics with just a little bit of knowledge, and he can even draw inferences from one example.

And we...the teacher has already slapped the answer on our face, and we haven't even reacted yet. How can this compare? "     Speaking of studying, Deng Yunzhu and Deng Yunhua, the two scumbag siblings, really have nowhere to express their suffering. It's not that they haven't tried hard, but they have tried hard, but they can't see any hope. No matter who you put it on, you have to collapse.

Deng Yunheng took a sip of Jianlibao with a confident smile on his face. In front of his second brother and third brother, his current results were a bit unsatisfactory, but in front of his second sister and fourth brother, he was also a top student.

Therefore, when he heard what his second sister said to his fourth brother, he answered: "Didn't Edison say that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration, but that one percent Inspiration is the most important, even more important than the 99% of sweat.

 Second sister, fourth brother, you just lack this one percent of inspiration, so no matter how hard you try, your results just don’t improve, and you will naturally give up after a long time. "

Deng Yunzhu glanced at her younger brother: "Xiao Heng, don't laugh at us in a hurry. Wait until you finish taking the college entrance examination and get admitted to a good university."

Deng Yunhua said: "That's right, Xiao Heng, your current grades are good, but no matter how good your grades are, it doesn't matter. What other universities value is your college entrance examination scores. You have to work hard in the last semester. Don't fail to stay with us." Then all your years of hard work will be in vain."

Deng Yunheng laughed and said: "The current exam is the fairest exam. Except for the multiple-choice questions, you can be blind. If you know the other questions, you can know it. If you don't know it, you can't. The college entrance examination is no different from ordinary exams. You can always know the questions you know. You can’t solve the questions you don’t know even if you want to explode your head.”

 Zhu Junjie’s grades back then were only mediocre. Hearing this, he forcibly changed the subject and said, "Xiao Heng, what major are you studying in university? Are you sure now?"

Deng Yunheng said: “It’s not confirmed yet!”

Zhu Junjie said: "It's time to think about it carefully. The main thing is to think about what path you want to take after graduating from college. If you want to enter the officialdom like your second brother and third brother, then ask them for their ideas. I believe they can give you a lot of advice." good suggestion."

Deng Yunheng shook his head and said, "I'm not very interested in entering officialdom."

Deng Yunzhen asked: "Xiao Heng, which industry are you interested in? Do you like doing business?"

Deng Yunheng still shook his head and said: "I'm not very interested in doing business either."

Originally, Deng Shirong wanted to discuss this issue with his younger son when he was preparing to apply for the college entrance examination. But now that the conversation had arrived, he asked: "Xiao Heng, tell us what you want to do in the future." What to do?”

Deng Yunheng obviously had plans for it and replied: "Dad, I want to study medicine and become a doctor in the future."

Deng Shirong was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He really didn't expect that his youngest son actually wanted to study medicine.

 There is a very famous saying in later generations called "If you advise people to study medicine, there will be thunder and lightning." Although the meaning of this sentence is relatively ironic, it is definitely not groundless, but a wise aphorism summed up by medical predecessors.

 Take Western medicine as an example:

It is well known that the cycle of studying medicine is long and the time cost is high. Generally, a medical undergraduate degree lasts 5 years. If the level of study is higher, 5+3+3=11 years is the minimum. Maybe my classmates in high school have achieved a good career and family, and I still need Family support.

Even if you don't pursue such a high level, you still need three years of regular training after graduation, plus several years of residency experience, before you can become a junior doctor with low subsidies, high pressure, and sub-health.

If you pursue your ambition of becoming a doctor of medicine, you should start in at least 14 years.

 Also, studying medicine is much more difficult than other majors because there are so many knowledge points and materials.

Want to highlight the key points?

The idea is good, but the patient will not follow the key points to get sick.

Data from later generations on the Internet show that the number of words in my country's four major classics is "A Dream of Red Mansions" 730,000, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" 800,000, "Journey to the West" 860,000, and "Water Margin" 960,000; and just pick up a few medical books, "Physiology" "1.22 million, "Biochemistry" 1.25 million, "Internal Medicine" 2.48 million, "Surgery" 2.28 million, and so on.

 Before the exam, you may want to "sharpen your skills before the battle, and you will lose your happiness if you are unhappy", which is not suitable for medical students at all.

Of course, the difficulty of studying medicine is nothing. The most terrible thing is that doctors are really too busy. Anyone who has a doctor friend in the future will know how busy it is to be a doctor, especially the kind of young doctors who have not yet made it out. , there really isn’t much free time.

 Unless you become a senior doctor and have someone under you, then it will be relatively easy.

Furthermore, Deng Shirong has experienced SARS and COVID-19. Medical staff are the first to bear the brunt of these terrible infectious diseases.

Therefore, from a selfish point of view, Deng Shirong did not want his younger son to study medicine. Firstly, it would be too hard, and secondly, he was afraid that his younger son would catch up with these two terrible infectious diseases.

However, whether in his previous life or in this life, Deng Shirong is a relatively enlightened father and will not forcefully interfere with the choices of his children.

Therefore, he was just stunned for a moment and then asked: "Xiao Heng, have you thought clearly? Being a doctor is very hard. Not only does it take more time and energy to study, but it will also be more difficult to become a doctor than in other professions. Much busier and less free time.”

Deng Yunheng's understanding of doctors is still relatively one-sided. He just thinks that doctors are very handsome when they treat patients, and he wants to be such a person. Therefore, when his father said this, he said without hesitation: "Dad, I am not afraid of hard work. I just want to be a doctor.”

Deng Shirong nodded when he heard this and said: "You can be a doctor if you want to, but it's not interesting to be a little doctor who can't cure any disease. If you want to be a more powerful doctor, then your goal is I’m not graduating with a bachelor’s degree, but I’m graduating with a PhD. Are you mentally prepared for this?”

Deng Yunheng said: "I have thought about it clearly. Anyway, my family is not short of money and I don't need to work early to make money. Then I will read more and try to get a doctorate."

Zhu Junjie couldn't help but praise: "You are ambitious. Your second brother and third brother only have a bachelor's degree. Even if you continue to study for graduate school in the future, you will still be a working graduate student, and the gold content is still far behind. If you, Xiaoheng, can get a doctorate, then He is the most highly educated person in the entire family.”

Deng Yunhua looked at the younger brother he had grown up with, gave a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Heng, your ideal is awesome."

Deng Shirong also has some expectations for this. In the previous life, none of his children was a serious college student. The third son with the highest academic level was a technical secondary school graduate.

Of course, after the third son started working, he gradually upgraded his technical secondary school education to a junior college degree, and then upgraded it to a bachelor's degree. But these are all on-the-job degrees. Compared with other people's serious undergraduate degrees, they are totally different. A grade.

In this life, the second son and the third son were not only admitted to college, but also to the top Tsinghua University and Peking University. This had already made Deng Shirong extremely satisfied. Unexpectedly, the younger son's ambition now turned out to be to study medicine, and he also planned to become a doctor. The first doctoral student in the entire Naye Deng family.

If he really did this, then their family would really be better than 99.99% of the people in the country in terms of academic qualifications.

So, Deng Shirong encouraged: "Then you should work hard and get admitted to a good medical university first."

 …

A few years ago, the Nayedeng family celebrated the New Year. It only lasted a few days, and many people began to go out to work after the fourth day of the first lunar month.

 As everyone's economic conditions are getting better and better, except for the tribesmen who eat commercial grain, other tribesmen can freely arrange their own work time. Naturally, they will not be in a hurry to start work, but will celebrate the New Year in a relaxed manner.

　It wasn’t until the eighth day of the first lunar month that everyone started to work one after another when the New Year spirit was gone.

 Deng Shirong is mainly busy with two things after celebrating the New Year:

 The first thing is to send invitations to all relatives and friends, including all leaders of the county government and township government, who have all received the invitations.

 As for the second son’s own leaders, colleagues, classmates, alumni, etc., he invites them himself.

 The second thing is to send someone to Shanghai to buy a car.

The Naye Deng Group is a large group with a registered capital of several hundred million, so it is indeed inappropriate not to have a car to act as a facade. After all, whether in this era or in later generations, business receptions still require a bit of pomp.

You can’t let people take a bus or a rickshaw when receiving important guests, right?

Therefore, this time we sent people to Shanghai to buy cars. The Naye Deng Group bought 6 cars, while Deng Shirong bought 4 cars privately, for a total of 10 cars.

 Needless to say about the brand, it is naturally Santana, the sacred car of this era.

 Don't underestimate this magical car. In this era, the price is as high as 200,000, which is really not affordable for ordinary people.

The four Santanas purchased by Deng Shirong were distributed as follows: one for each of his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, one for his youngest daughter, and one for his fourth son.

As for the eldest daughter, she will not be matched. After all, the eldest son-in-law is a county leader, and she is not suitable for driving such a high-profile car.

Not to mention the second and third sons. As for the younger son who is still studying, there is no need to rush to get a car.

As for driver’s licenses, Deng Shirong has already asked his sons and daughters-in-law to learn to drive, so there is no need to worry about them not knowing how to drive.

However, for safety reasons, Deng Shirong also matched bodyguards for his son and daughter-in-law.

 The bodyguards and drivers of the eldest son and the fourth son were naturally selected from the security team of Wuyue Plaza.

As for the bodyguards and drivers of the eldest daughter-in-law and the younger daughter, they recruited retired female soldiers who were also good at driving skills. Such outstanding female soldiers were very rare in this era, so Deng Shirong naturally gave them extremely high wages.

 After allocating a car to my son and daughter-in-law, it will come in handy when my second son gets married. It will definitely be very honorable to use it as a wedding car.

 After buying the car back, Deng Shirong returned to his hometown and started busy with his second son's wedding.

 Deng Shirong planned to make a big event for his second son's wedding.

Anyway, there are no official restrictions on weddings in this era. Making the scene bigger will not affect the second son's career. Besides, this is a wedding in the village. This era is not like later generations, where you can just take a video and post it. The circle of friends can be seen by people all over the country.

 In the village, no matter how big the noise is, it will only spread within a small area.

 …

PS: Dear Abiao, which medical major is better for Deng Yunheng to study? Which direction is better to study? If any knowledgeable person can give me some advice, thank you!

 Thanks to all relatives who gave tips and voted monthly.
