Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Chapter 416: With this proud disciple, who dares not to give me face?

 On the bus bound for Bobai County.

After learning that Deng Yunheng was already the deputy director, school leaders, teachers and classmates were all stunned.

While shocked, the students looked at Deng Yunheng differently. When a group of classmates gathered together, the feeling was the same as ten years ago. There was no class distinction. Everyone could joke and tease whoever they wanted.

Even if they knew that Chen Wenfeng had become a cadre at the department level and the top leader of the Cangwu County Agricultural Machinery Bureau, the mentality of the students did not change much.

However, after knowing that Deng Yunheng's rank was already deputy director, not to mention all the classmates, even Li Hongjun, the class teacher and principal, looked a little embarrassed, and his attitude became a little respectful without realizing it. Dare you joke as casually as before?

After all, this is the deputy director. Even if the students here don’t know much about this level, they still understand that this is an existence that is out of their reach. It is the biggest official they can come into contact with in their lives. With this understanding, , the attitude can no longer be as casual as before.

Needless to say, Deng Yunheng's ability to observe people's emotions was so great. When he saw the changes in the expressions of the school leaders, class teachers and classmates, he smiled and said: "Dear teachers and students, no matter what level I am today, I will always be a member of our Class 34." , you should not treat me as a leader, but treat me as your classmate.

 Today we are here for a class reunion, not a job fair.

 So, just do whatever you want. Don’t let me go just because my rank is high, otherwise this class reunion will be meaningless. "

Li Hongjun had recovered from his excitement and said in agreement: "Classmate Deng Yunheng is right. No matter what status he has outside, he will always be a member of our Class 34. After two years of study, The friendship between classmates will never change.”

Zhu Chenglong gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Heng, you are so awesome. You have become such a big official just a few years after graduation. Brother, I will have bragging rights in the future."

Li Huaqiang also said excitedly: "When I go out and tell others that my best brother in high school is a higher official than the county magistrate, it will shock others. I can brag about this for at least ten years."

With the two of them taking the lead, other students also became excited.

This high school classmate has such an awesome character. For them, it is not just a bragging opportunity, but also a real human connection.

Perhaps none of the students here will be able to use this kind of personal connections in their lifetime, but this thing is like a country’s nuclear weapon. You can use it, but you can’t live without it.

 In life, no one knows what will happen at the next moment. Maybe one day the students here will encounter a hurdle that is difficult to overcome in life, and for Deng Yunheng, such a hurdle may be solved with one sentence.

 In short, anyone with a normal mind will be pleasantly surprised by this kind of personal connections that fall from the sky, and will never be jealous or jealous.

 Chen Wenfeng was now completely convinced. Being in the officialdom, he paid more attention to this personal relationship. He looked at Deng Yunheng and asked with a smile on his face: "Old classmate, you should be married now, right?"

Deng Yunheng smiled and nodded: "I got married last year, and this year I became a father."

In the following time, a group of teachers and classmates gathered around Deng Yunheng to chat. They first asked what Peking University, a top university, was like, and then talked about what the famous scenic spots in the capital were like, and then extended to the customs in the capital. Favors and so on.

 After talking about Beijing, we talked about Fujian, and asked about Deng Yunheng's resume from high school graduation to promotion to deputy director.

By the time the teachers and classmates had almost understood it, the bus also drove into Bobai County.

Although the students in Class 34 are all from Bobai County, more than 90% are from the former Songshan Commune (Songwang Town + Shuangwang Township), and the rest are from the neighboring towns, far away from the county seat. They are all dozens of kilometers away.

 Among the 36 students, only about half have been to the county town before, and the rest came to the county town for the first time.

Regardless of whether it was a classmate who had been here or the first time he came to the county seat, when the bus passed through the Jean Dun's community, he could not help but talk about it.

 “This residential area is so beautifully built!”

“It’s indeed very beautiful. I haven’t seen many residential areas in Guangzhou that are so beautiful.”

“I heard that the Naye Deng Family Community was built with funds from the Naye Deng Family in Shuangwang Township. Classmate Deng Yunheng, you are also from Shuangwang Township, and your surname is Deng. This residential community was not built with funds from your clan, right?”

“This is indeed built with funds raised by our tribe.”

"It's true, you guys, the Ye Deng family is really awesome. A few years ago, our village didn't have many decent brick houses, but the Ye Deng family built such a beautiful community in the county. , it’s really amazing!”

“In recent years, the reputation of the Nayedeng family has really become more and more popular!”

　　　…”

While everyone was talking, the bus turned at the intersection and stopped at the entrance of Suifeng Hotel.

 All the teachers and classmates got out of the car and saw a banner hanging at the door of Suifeng Hotel. On the banner was written a line of large characters - Youth will never end, relive the friendship between classmates.

 Below the big words, there is a line of small words - the 10th anniversary reunion of the graduates of Songshan High School Class 34.

Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "Dear teachers and students, we will have dinner here in a while. After dinner, we will go to the karaoke hall to sing together. We, the classmates of Class 34, will reunite in ten years and we must celebrate it well. ”

 Seeing that Deng Yunheng had made arrangements, all the students were slightly excited.

It's only the early 1990s, and there's no time to hold graduation parties like this. Today, everyone came here for a ten-year appointment. Originally, they just wanted to meet their classmates from ten years ago. At most, they would just have a meal together, and then this The party is over.

Unexpectedly, Deng Yunheng made all arrangements and directly brought everyone to the county seat to celebrate. This was really something that no one expected.

Walking into the hotel, Deng Yunheng said hello to his sister, and then led a group of classmates to the designated area to sit down.

This area consists of eight rectangular tables assembled into a square "hollow" table. This table is very large and can easily seat more than forty people.

It was still a little early for dinner. After the waiter brought the tea, everyone sat down with their classmates and started chatting.

 When we were on the bus, all the topics revolved around Deng Yunheng.

Now everyone knows more about Deng Yunheng's situation from graduating from high school to now, and they gathered together in twos and threes again to chat.

The people sitting with Deng Yunheng were none other than Zhu Chenglong and Li Huaqiang, the two classmates who played the best at that time.

Deng Yunheng took the initiative to ask: "Along, I heard you say before that you have resigned from Shenzhen and are preparing to return to your hometown to develop. Have you decided what business you want to do?"

Zhu Chenglong shook his head and said: "Brother Heng, I haven't thought about it yet. You are well-informed. How about you give me some advice?"

Deng Yunheng asked: "How much capital do you have? Is there any industry you want to enter when doing business?"

Zhu Chenglong said: "In terms of capital, I can barely scrape together 30,000 yuan. In terms of industry, it doesn't matter, as long as I can make money."

Li Huaqiang was surprised and said: "Aaron, you are quite awesome. You have saved so much money after working in Shenzhen for several years."

No wonder he was surprised. Even in the rural areas of later generations, thirty thousand yuan was not a small amount, let alone in the early 1990s. Except for the village where Ye Deng lived, there were really few families in other villages. You can get so much money.

Zhu Chenglong shook his head and said: "What a cool thing. My wife and I have been working in Shenzhen for several years. We have saved this money through frugality."

Li Huaqiang said: "That's pretty awesome. I've been working in Beihai for ten years, but I've only saved less than half of your money."

Knowing that Zhu Chenglong had saved the money through hard work, Deng Yunheng naturally couldn't let him do such a high-risk business. He thought about it and said, "Along, if you are not afraid of hard work, you can try making midnight snacks."

Zhu Chenglong was a little surprised when he heard this: "Make a midnight snack?"

Deng Yunheng nodded and said: "Yes, for late-night snacks, specialize in cooking eel porridge, pigeon porridge, etc. There should be a market for this, and it is easy to learn how to cook this kind of porridge. You can also open a snail stall specializing in fried snails and serve with If you serve beer, business should be okay.

Of course, you can also do both, or even add some fried noodles and stir-fry vegetables, as long as you are busy.

However, my opinion is that it should be done in the same way. Once you have experience and have repeat customers, you can slowly add other types. This is safer.

The most important thing is that this kind of small business does not require much investment. An investment of one thousand or several hundred yuan is enough. In this way, even if the business loses money, it will not break your bones and you can start over from scratch. "

 Zhu Chenglong nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Brother Heng, you are still smart, then I will listen to you and try to set up a late-night snack stall later."

Li Huaqiang was a little moved when he heard this, and asked: "Brother Heng, what do you think I am suitable for?"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Why, are you planning to come back and start your own business?"

Li Huaqiang said: "Although I have a good job now, I don't have much to do, and the salary is not low, after all, it is working for others and I will never make a fortune. It would be better if I could have my own business."

Deng Yunheng said: "You can try to open a wholesale department in the town, and do wholesale and retail at the same time. If this business is done well, it will be very profitable."

Li Huaqiang asked: "Brother Heng, what does this wholesale department wholesale?"

Deng Yunheng said: "Your customers are the small shops in the village. You wholesale whatever they need. Now the small shops in the village purchase goods from the supply and marketing cooperatives, but now the supply and marketing cooperatives are becoming less and less effective. You go directly to It should be possible to purchase products from the wholesale sites of county department stores, or even directly from manufacturers.”

Li Huaqiang nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Thank you, Brother Heng. I will take the time to study this later."

 After chatting about the business, the three of them recalled some people and events in school that year.

Unknowingly, it was time to eat. The waiter came over to ask Deng Yunheng for instructions. After getting his approval, he started serving the dishes.

Deng Yunzhen was naturally not stingy when entertaining her younger brother’s teachers and classmates, and asked the master chef to make the meal extremely sumptuous.

Although it is not a delicacy, there is no shortage of chicken, duck, and fish. All kinds of cuts, braised, and stewed. Dozens of delicious and delicious meals are served, which attracts many students to swallow their saliva.

In this day and age, there are still many people with poor family conditions in the countryside. Even among the 36 students in Class 34, not everyone is living a good life. Some students' family conditions are relatively poor, and they are still living a good life. Living a life of not being able to eat meat several times a month.

Now that I see so many delicious meals, it would be strange not to drool!

Before eating, a sense of ceremony was still needed, so Deng Yunheng asked the principal, vice principal and head teacher to each give a speech.

At present, the principal and others are quite sensible. They did not make long and boring speeches like when they gave speeches at school. They just finished with a few simple sentences.

Finally, everyone picked up their glasses and drank a toast together before enjoying the delicious food comfortably. After eating a few bites of food, the students began to toast to the class teacher, principal and other leaders. Naturally, Deng Yunheng was no exception. He also toasted to the teachers with wine.

 Drinking the wine toasted by his proud disciple, Li Hongjun's heart was filled with beauty.

After attending this party, he will be able to boast again after he returns. From now on, he will not say anything about walking sideways in Bobai Realm, but no matter who he is, he will have to give him three respects.

The principal's face was also beaming with joy. Although he did not teach Deng Yunheng as a student, as the leader of the school, he could naturally take advantage of it. When he went to the Education Bureau for meetings in the future, he would have the confidence to slap the table on the leader.

In addition to paying tribute to the teacher, all the students toasted to Deng Yunheng.

Upon seeing this, Deng Yunheng picked up the wine and said, "Old classmates, let's drink together. If you each toast me a glass, I can't hold back my drinking capacity!"

 Chen Wenfeng raised his glass and said with a smile: "Then let's drink together. I wish all our classmates in Class 34 a bright future."

Other students also responded and raised their glasses to drink.

After drinking the wine, everyone let go of their inhibitions and chatted with their classmates about career, family, and original dreams...

Chen Wenfeng took the wine glass and came to sit next to Deng Yunheng. He smiled and said, "Old classmate, I'm here to learn from you."

 “The monitor is joking.”

Deng Yunheng picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him, and said: "This Agricultural Machinery Bureau is also a relatively important department in the county. You are now the top leader. When the conditions for promotion are mature, your father-in-law will give you a push, and then you will be promoted to deputy county officer." It’s a matter of course.”

Chen Wenfeng took a sip of wine and said with confidence: "Old classmate, you are right. My father-in-law is likely to take a further step next year. With his help, I still have a good chance of being promoted to deputy county."

Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "Squad leader, I will congratulate you in advance!"

Chen Wenfeng waved his hands quickly and said: "I don't know when this happened. Besides, even if I am promoted to deputy county, it will only be the deputy director level. I am far behind you, my old classmate. If I can If you reach your current level, the ancestral graves of my old Chen family will be filled with smoke."

Deng Yunheng naturally knew that this was true. Even though Chen Wenfeng was a college student, he was just an ordinary college student. With the help of his father-in-law, it would be no problem to get promoted to a department level, and there was a lot of hope for him to even be promoted to a full department, but he wanted to be promoted to the department level. Level, it's not that simple.

 There is a huge gap between the division level and the department level, and not everyone can cross it.

If Chen Wenfeng is not appreciated by his leadership, unless he has made extremely outstanding political achievements, it will be extremely difficult for him to be promoted to deputy director.

Deng Yunheng comforted him: "Monitor, who can say for sure what will happen from now on? No matter what, you are still a decent college student, and you still have advantages compared to others."

“I hope so. Anyway, I will be satisfied if I can become a county leader.”

 Next, Chen Wenfeng seriously asked Deng Yunheng for advice on how to become an official.

They started working at the same time. As a result, he is only a full-time undergraduate now, while Deng Yunheng is already a deputy director. The gap is really too big. Although there is a gap between Peking University and ordinary universities, the gap in personal ability is also quite large. obvious.

Therefore, Chen Wenfeng sincerely asked this old classmate for advice, hoping to get some inspiration from him.

Deng Yunheng did not hide his secrets. He shared with Chen Wenfeng some of his experiences in officialdom over the past few years.

 Chen Wenfeng listened carefully and benefited a lot.

This meal lasted from five o'clock in the afternoon to seven o'clock in the evening.

　　Since we all knew that we would go to the karaoke hall to sing in the evening, we all controlled our drinking so as not to get too drunk.

After all, karaoke has just become popular these days, and only a handful of the teachers and students present have been to karaoke halls. Everyone wants to experience this karaoke, so naturally they have to control their alcohol consumption to avoid missing out, which would be a pity.

 You can drink wine at any time, but you don’t always have the opportunity to go to a karaoke bar.

Deng Yunheng did not keep everyone waiting. After the dinner here, he led all the teachers and students directly to the Regal Hotel.

 Arriving at the Regal Hotel, Zhu Chenglong asked in surprise: "Brother Heng, is this karaoke room in this hotel?"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "Yes, there is a karaoke room on the second floor of this hotel, but everyone has received the keys first, and we will stay here tonight."

All the students exclaimed after hearing this. This Regal Hotel has just been opened for more than a year and is currently the highest-end hotel in the county. Except for a few students who have seen the world, such as Chen Wenfeng and Liu Limei, most students have never stayed in such a high-end hotel. 's hotel.

Deng Yunheng made arrangements in advance. As soon as they arrived, the waiter gave them room keys one by one.

After all the teachers and students received the room keys, Deng Yunheng said: "Dear teachers and students, please go to your respective rooms and take a look. If you have any questions, ask them. If there are no questions, then we will be there at 7:30." Is it okay to gather in the karaoke room on the second floor?”

"no problem!"

All the teachers and students responded one after another, and then went upstairs to find their respective rooms according to the room number on the key.

  Needless to say, the result was that the luxurious room once again aroused everyone's amazement.

seven thirty.

 A group of teachers and students gathered in the karaoke room on the second floor.

There is no doubt that, except for a few teachers and students, most teachers and students saw karaoke for the first time, and it was eye-opening for all of them.

There is a reason why this thing has become popular all over the country in just a few years. Its appeal to people of this era is undoubted. After getting familiar with the operation of karaoke, everyone started to cry like a ghost.

On normal days, some students might be too shy to show off their singing voices, but everyone at Suifeng Hotel had been drinking before. Drinking makes people bold. It’s not just talk. People are indeed bolder than usual after drinking. , coupled with the good atmosphere, every student boldly took the stage to sing.

Today, the karaoke hall was reserved by Deng Yunheng.

 Therefore, there are no outsiders singing on the second floor. This is one of the reasons why the students dare to sing boldly.

 The teachers and students sang until ten o'clock in the evening, and then ended the karaoke tour with unfinished content.

Then, they went out for a late-night snack together, and Deng Yunheng said: "Dear teachers and students, that's it for today. We have been tired for the whole day. Go back to the hotel to take a shower and rest. We will gather at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. Dinner at Suifeng Restaurant.”

 All the teachers and students agreed, and then they went back to the Regal Hotel to take a shower and rest.

 …

 The next day.

 At 11 o'clock in the morning, the teachers and students of Class 34 gathered at Suifeng Restaurant for dinner again.

Even if Deng Yunheng didn't say anything about this meal, everyone knew that it was a dinner for the group, and they were still somewhat reluctant to part with it.

When the meal was almost done, Deng Yunheng said: "Dear teachers and students, I think everyone has guessed that after this meal, the tenth anniversary party of graduation is over.

　　Everyone will go their separate ways just like ten years ago. It will probably be very difficult to get together like today in the future. "

Liu Limei couldn't help but interjected: "Old classmate, can't we make a ten-year appointment again?"

“Yes, dear old classmates, why don’t we make another ten-year appointment, and in ten years we will gather together again to attend the 20th anniversary reunion of our classmates.”

“I agree to another ten-year agreement. No matter where I am, I will definitely come back to participate.”

"I agree."

　　　…”

Other students all agreed upon hearing this. None of them wanted to miss such a class reunion.

Deng Yunheng said: "I am also willing to make another ten-year appointment with you, but you also know my current position. I don't know what position I will be working in ten years from now. Will I be able to find time to attend the party? an unknown number.

 So, I dare not make a promise now because I am afraid that if I cannot come then, I will disappoint all the teachers and classmates. "

Chen Wenfeng then said: "Old classmate, this ten-year agreement can be finalized first. All the classmates know your situation. We can contact you in advance and accommodate your schedule, so there should be no problem. "

Li Hongjun smiled and said: "Chen Wenfeng is right. The ten-year appointment can be made in advance. You don't have to choose this time. You can choose other times to get together. As long as you contact us in advance, I believe it will be no problem."

Other students also spoke out. The most important person in this class reunion is naturally Deng Yunheng. It doesn't matter if others come or not, but if Deng Yunheng doesn't come, then this class reunion will lose its meaning. Therefore, all the students will accommodate Deng Yunheng's time. No comment.

Upon seeing this, Deng Yunheng nodded and said: "Well, since it's all said and done, if I don't agree, I will let down the love of my classmates."

All the students smiled happily when they heard this.

When the dinner was over, Deng Yunheng said: "Dear teachers and students, I have given you some small gifts. They have been placed in the car. See you in ten years."

 “Ten years from now, see you again.”

 “Ten years from now, see you again.”

 “Ten years from now, see you again.”

 …

PS: Thank you to all my relatives for your strong support these days. The monthly vote list has been advancing rapidly. It’s great.
