Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Friday, the sixth day of October.

It is suitable for getting married, traveling, cleaning, moving, getting married, getting engaged, moving to a new house, making an alliance, planting, burial, and offering sacrifices.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the relatives and friends invited by the tribe gathered at the door of each family's villa to prepare for the fire ceremony.

In the Bobai realm, the Hakka people's fire-entering rituals are all very similar, so I won't repeat the description.

After the fire ceremony, some tribesmen went to the entrance of the ancestral hall to help cook, while some invited their relatives and friends to drink tea and chat in the villa.

This time when we moved to a new home, Deng Shirong's eldest son and daughter-in-law came back, so naturally Xiao Dong'er and Dong Zi came back too.

Anyway, for these two siblings, taking two days off will not affect their grades at all. Xiao Dong'er is still the unshakable number one in the grade, and Dongzi is still ranked above average in the class.

At this time, Xiaodong'er sister and brother were playing by the river with a group of cousins.

While playing, a cousin saw a lot of fish swimming in the crystal clear river water. He couldn't help but sigh: "There seem to be a lot of fish in this river, but it's a pity that there are no fishing rods here, otherwise we would You can just sit here and fish.”

Dongzi asked: "Cousin, is fishing fun?"

The cousin nodded and said: "Of course it's fun. It's the most interesting when the fish bites the hook. Dongzi, haven't you ever caught a fish?"

Dongzi shook his head and said: "I've never fished before. I'll ask grandpa if he has a fishing rod. If so, let's go fishing!"

The cousin said: "Then go and ask. If you have a fishing rod, bring it and I will teach you how to fish."

Hearing this, other Abiao also talked about the fun of fishing.

The Abiao present all grew up in rural areas, and almost all of them have fished. This thing can be understood at a glance and is not complicated at all.

Dongzi ran into the living room and shouted: "Grandpa, do you have a fishing rod? We want to fish in this river."

Deng Shirong, who was drinking tea with his in-laws, smiled and said: "Yes, you wait here, grandpa will get it for you."

"Very good!"

Dongzi said with excitement: "Grandpa, bring as much as you have. My cousin and the others also want to fish."

Deng Shirong said hello, then said hello to his in-laws, and went back to the old house to get the fishing rod.

Through Dongzi's reminder, Deng Shirong felt it was necessary to buy some fry and put them in the river. Now, a small embankment was built below the river, at the end of the villa complex. The original purpose of building this embankment was Just raise the water level of the river to make it look more beautiful.

If you raise fish, you won’t be afraid of fish floating down the river.

The villa complex is more than 3,600 meters long, and it can already raise a lot of fish. It doesn't matter even if the fish swim upstream. Anyway, he didn't release the fry to raise them to sell for money. He just wanted to raise them to fish when he has nothing to do, which would add some fun. That’s all.

Soon, Deng Shirong got some fishing rods for Dongzi and asked him to go fishing with the uncles.

It has to be said that boys are naturally interested in fishing, while girls are not interested in fishing, and Xiao Donger is no exception. She did not fish with those cousins, but with other cousins They played with stones.

Breaking stones is the name of Shuangwang. In other places, it is also called Shishizi, Shizier, Shimoge, Zhuguguguai, Shijiao, etc. It is a very popular activity among the little girls in Shuangwang. There are even many little boys playing the game together.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I heard Dongzi yelling excitedly: "I caught it, I caught a fish, haha..."

Xiaodong'er glanced at it and saw that Dongzi only caught a small fish about the size of two fingers. She couldn't help but scorned: "Dongzi, you yeller, I don't know how big a fish you caught." Well, this is the result?”

Dongzi ignored his sister who was sarcastic, but quickly ran into the living room with the fish, showing off: "Grandpa, grandpa, grandma, look, I caught a fish!"

"Oh, Dongzi is so awesome, he caught the fish so quickly!"

"Dongzi is really powerful, this fish is not small yet!"

Zhang's parents and Zhang's mother couldn't help but praise, and Deng Shirong also praised. This boy knows how to show off. When he grows up, if he catches a big fish, he will definitely get lost.

After showing off to the elders, Dongzi happily returned to the river, untied the dying fish and put it into the puddle next to it, continued to put earthworms on the fishing hooks, and fished with the cousins ​​again.

Unfortunately, I was lucky enough to catch this fish, and no more fish took the bait.

It wasn't until about 10:30 in the morning, when it was time to go to the ancestral hall for dinner, that Dongzi put away the fishing rod without feeling satisfied.

Seeing this, Deng Shirong couldn't help but smile and said: "Dongzi, if you like fishing, I will take you to fish in the Yong River when I have time. There are big fish there."

Dongzi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Grandpa, we have agreed that you will take me to go fishing in the Yongjiang River when you have time."

Deng Shirong guided: "Dongzi, if you can get into the top fifteen of the class, then grandpa will take you out to sea for fishing. That would be exciting. Big fish in the sea can easily weigh hundreds of kilograms. If you can catch such a big fish, Fish, think about how great it would be!”

Dongzi's eyes widened when he heard this. He felt so accomplished when he caught a fish as big as two fingers. It would be really cool to catch a bigger fish, but it's a pity that he has to be among the top fifteen in the class. , this difficulty is indeed a bit high.

It seems that I have to work hard next.

…

After the meal, all the relatives and friends of the Naye Deng family dispersed.

Deng Shirong's family also drove to Nanning, along with Zhang Xiuping's brother and sister-in-law. They are now doing business in Nanning's snack street, and the shops are provided to them free of charge. For the Deng family, which owns hundreds of shops, this is just a mere The rent for a few shops is really not worth mentioning.

After returning to Nanning for only two days, Deng Shirong set off again.

Taking advantage of the fact that the exchange rate of U.S. dollars against RMB is at its peak this year, he wants to sell some more U.S. dollars.

Although he is now the richest man in the world in terms of wealth, these wealth are not cash, but various valuables and a large amount of materials. These things either cannot be seen in a short time, or it takes a long time to slowly realize them.

Therefore, he now has the title of the richest man in vain, but does not have the reality of being the richest man.

The U.S. dollars in hand are the only cash wealth.

In the end, it took Deng Shirong more than two months and traveled to more than a dozen cities to exchange hundreds of millions of RMB.

He invested all the money to buy land.

The main purchases are of land in the three cities of Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai. The land prices in these three cities are not expensive now. After the new century, the land prices will skyrocket. Now, let’s hoard a batch of land. You can use it anytime you want in the future, and selling it will be a huge profit if you don’t want to use it.

After finishing these things, Deng Shirong returned to Nanning again.

At this time, students also began to take winter vacation.

As soon as he came back, Deng Shirong checked the report cards of his grandchildren.

There were no surprises in Xiaodong'er's report card, and she was still firmly ranked first in her grade.

Dongzi may have been stimulated by fishing in the sea. After working hard, she actually got into the 16th place in the class, only one place short of meeting the requirements for fishing in the sea. This made Dongzi so angry that she kept feeling depressed.

Deng Shirong saw this and smiled and said: "Dongzi, don't be discouraged. I will take you out to play this time. If you can maintain this ranking next semester, then I will take you out to sea for fishing during the summer vacation. I guarantee that you will have a great time." "

Dongzi said in surprise: "Grandpa, are you serious?"

Deng Shirong nodded and smiled: "Grandpa never lies to others."

Dongzi instantly resurrected with full health and said excitedly: "Then it's settled, I will definitely keep this ranking next semester."

"Then I'll be waiting for your transcript for next semester."

Having said this, Deng Shirong looked at his granddaughter and asked, "Xiao Dong'er, where do you want to go this time?"

Xiaodong'er said: "Grandpa, I want to go to Kunming. I heard that it is like spring all year round. I want to see it."

Deng Shirong nodded and said: "No problem, where are you, Dongzi?"

Dongzi blinked: "I will go wherever my sister goes."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Okay, let's leave for Kunming tomorrow."

…

The twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, at night.

Nanning Snack Street is brightly lit, with a variety of snacks on both sides of the street. The whole street is so popular that it has begun to look like a bustling night market.

Sister Qin’s sour food shop.

Qin Fengzhen, her mother and her son were so busy that their business was so good that it was beyond their imagination. They couldn't even imagine that there were so many diners in Nanning who liked sour food.

In the past, Qin Fengzhen set up a mobile stall, which was a kind of one-stop shop. The business could only be said to be so-so. Compared with the current business, it was like heaven and earth. If there had been such a good business in the past, she would Already made a fortune.

In fact, not only Qin Fengzhen's business is good, but other merchants' business is also good.

The current snack street is already the most famous night market street in Nanning. Anyone who wants to eat late night snacks will think of it here immediately.

In the whole of Nanning, you really can’t find a more comprehensive range of late-night snacks than here.

The high concentration of traffic naturally makes this snack street more and more popular, and the popularity attracts more traffic. With such a virtuous cycle, the popularity of this snack street naturally becomes more and more prosperous.

Over time, this snack street will surely grow into one of the famous snack streets in the country.

While mother and daughter were busy, Deng Yunhua came over and said hello: "Auntie, you're busy!"

Seeing Deng Yunhua coming, Qin Fengzhen greeted with a smile: "Xiaohua is here, come in and sit down quickly, let Yuemei get you whatever you want to eat."

Fan Yuemei, who was cutting the sour ingredients, glanced at him and said with a smile on her face: "Brother Hua, go ahead and find a seat and sit down. I'll be here in a minute."

There were a lot of diners now, so it was not the time to be polite. Deng Yunhua responded and walked in to find a small, unoccupied table and sit down.

In less than two minutes, Fan Yuemei cut a plate of sour food and brought it over, and said sheepishly: "Brother Hua, there are so many people now, I have to help. I will come over to accompany you later!"

Deng Yunhua nodded and said, "Well, let's go!"

Fan Yuemei nodded and continued to help cut the sour ingredients.

This busy work lasted for half an hour. It was not until the passenger flow eased a little that Fan Yuemei came over and said apologetically: "Brother Hua, I kept you waiting for a long time!"

Deng Yunhua smiled and said: "Why are you being polite to me? The business of your sour food shop is so booming. It seems that you have made a lot of money during this period!"

Fan Yuemei said with a smile: "I have indeed made a lot of money during this period. The income in one day is at least as much as the previous week. This makes my mother very happy."

Deng Yunhua said: "It's just too hard. You're too busy to take any time off when you come back. I'm afraid aunt and the others will be even busier when you're away, and it's not easy to make money!"

Fan Yuemei smiled and said: "This little bit of hard work is nothing. With such a good business, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it. Others think they have to work so hard and never have a chance!"

Deng Yunhua nodded secretly after hearing this. After Fan Yuemei became his girlfriend, their family could still do business in a down-to-earth manner without being too ambitious. This is indeed very good. If it were those with shallow eyes, they might not be interested in doing business anymore. Instead, they expected him to use the money to support them.

It seems that what his father said is indeed right. Even if Fan Yuemei agrees to be with him because of his money, as long as she can stick to the bottom line and be able to achieve "a gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way", she is not the kind of person who only wants money. A woman who can do anything is blameless.

After all, even gentlemen love money. Who doesn’t like money in this world?

Thinking of this, Deng Yunhua said with a smile: "Yuemei, my dad wants to treat you to a meal tomorrow. Is it convenient for you?"

"ah?"

Fan Yuemei was surprised at first, and then she couldn't help being happy.

Being able to meet her parents proved that her boyfriend really wanted to get married. This was really great news for her. She nodded quickly and said, "Of course it's convenient. I don't know where to eat. I should give it to my uncle." What gift do you want to bring?”

Deng Yunhua said: "We are in Nanning Hotel. What kind of gift do you want to bring as a student? If you really want to bring something, just bring some of your sour sauce to show your appreciation."

Fan Yuemei nodded, and then asked with some anxiety: "Brother Hua, what kind of person is my uncle? What should I pay attention to when I meet him?"

Deng Yunhua smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. My dad is a very talkative person. His ideas are more open-minded than us young people. When you see him, you just need to face him sincerely. You don't have to show off deliberately."

Although she said this, Fan Yuemei did not dare to relax at all.

A big boss who can easily give hundreds or even tens of millions of income a year to one of his sons. Even normal contact with such an identity is very stressful, not to mention that the other person is also the parent of the boyfriend. Faced with this dual identity, How many people can handle the pressure without getting nervous?

However, Fan Yuemei also knew that as long as she wanted to marry Deng Yunhua, she would have to pass this test sooner or later. There was no other way but to face it bravely.

…

The time is soon approaching midnight. If it were in later generations, there would still be many diners at this time, but the night market in this era is not as glorious as in later generations. After this time, the number of diners in the entire snack street has decreased a lot. .

There are not many diners left in Fan's sour food shop.

At this time, Fan Yuemei said to her mother: "Mom, Brother Hua's father wants to treat me to dinner at noon tomorrow."

Qin Fengzhen was overjoyed when she heard this, and then complained: "You girl, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier? It's already very late, you should go back and take a shower and go to bed."

Fan Yuemei said: "Tomorrow I will meet the man's parents. I have been feeling unsure because I am afraid that I will not perform well."

Qin Fengzhen said: "As the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her parents-in-law. Mom can't teach you anything in this regard. Anyway, you can adapt to the situation tomorrow!"

Fan Yuemei: "..."

…

The next day.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, Deng Yunhua drove over to pick up Fan Yuemei and go to Nanning Hotel for dinner.

When he saw the well-dressed Fan Yuemei, Deng Yunhua's eyes almost went straight.

Seeing this, Fan Yuemei asked with a smile on her face, "Does it look good?"

Deng Yunhua nodded repeatedly and said: "It looks good, it's so beautiful!"

Fan Yuemei got into the car carrying the packed acid ingredients and asked with a smile: "Really?"

Deng Yunhua also sat in the cab and praised: "Of course it's true. Your appearance is even better than my three sisters-in-law!"

Hearing this, Fan Yuemei was a little surprised. She had been beautiful since she was a child, and she was also famous as a beauty in Wuhan University. Among the women she had seen over the years, there was no one who could compare with her in appearance.

Now, listening to the meaning of Deng Yunhua's words, she spent so much time dressing up today and showing her beauty to the fullest, and finally got an evaluation that was not inferior to his three sisters-in-law. Doesn't that mean that his three sisters-in-law are all Is she a beauty on the same level as her?

Maybe even more beautiful than her.

Although she was surprised, Fan Yuemei soon felt relieved.

After all, the boyfriend's family background is really terrible. With such a good family background, what kind of beautiful women can't be married to his three brothers?

…

A private room in Nanning Hotel.

Deng Yunhua introduced: "Dad, this is my girlfriend Fan Yuemei."

"Hello, uncle!"

"Hello Amei, come and sit down!"

"Uncle, when we first met, I brought you some sour sauce made by my mother. I hope you like it."

"Now that you're interested, I quite like eating sour food. Xiaohua, let the waiter come in and order!"

"OK."

Deng Yunhua responded, called the waiter in, and started ordering.

I won't go into detail about the ordering process. After the waiter left the box, Deng Shirong praised: "I heard from Xiaohua, Amei, you are a top student at Wuhan University. You are really amazing."

Fan Yuemei smiled and said: "Uncle, thank you!"

Deng Shirong sighed and said: "My Xiaohua has no talent for reading. Since he was in elementary school, I have repeatedly emphasized that he should study hard and try to get into college. Unfortunately, this kid just couldn't study and ended up graduating from high school. It's really Shame on you!”

Deng Yunhua said with shame: "Dad, save some face for me."

Deng Shirong glanced at him: "Face is earned by oneself. If you can't even get into an ordinary university, what else do you want?"

Deng Yunhua said weakly: "Dad, only a small number of elites can get into college. Most people can't get into college. You can't blame me for not working hard!"

Deng Shirong hummed: "What kind of study environment do others have, and what kind of study environment do you have? You have the nerve to compare with others."

Deng Yunhua: "..."

Fan Yuemei was originally very stressed when she met her parents for the first time. But when she heard the conversation between the father and son, most of the tension in her heart disappeared in an instant. She smiled and answered: "Uncle, Brother Hua He told me that he also worked hard when he was studying. "

Deng Shirong said: "Amei, you don't have to speak for him. His efforts are three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. That means the family conditions are not bad. If he was born in a poor family, he would probably have to work all his life. "Dead."

Fan Yuemei covered her mouth and snickered.

Soon, the restaurant began to serve food.

While eating, Deng Shirong asked: "Amei, you will graduate from college next year. I wonder what your plans are after graduation? Should you choose to follow the country's arrangements and work in a public institution, or choose to go into business?"

Fan Yuemei said obediently: "Uncle, if it had been before, my choice would have been to work in a public institution, because for a family like ours, working in a public institution is the best way out.

But now I am Brother Hua’s girlfriend. I will listen to his opinions on work. If he asks me to join a public institution, then I will join a public institution. If he asks me to go into business, then I will go to business. Anyway, I can do it. . "

"Amei, if this is the case, then you should choose to go into business!"

Deng Shirong nodded with satisfaction and said, "When you graduate next year, I will hold a wedding for you, and then you will take over Xiaohua's home appliance city."

"Home Appliance City?"

Fan Yuemei blinked. Isn't her boyfriend's business a snack street?

Deng Yunhua explained: "In addition to the snack street, the Ahua Appliance City in Wuyue Plaza is also mine."

Deng Shirong glanced at his fourth son, then looked at Fan Yuemei, and sighed: "Oh, this electric city was originally a very good project, but it's a pity that Xiaohua failed to live up to his expectations and only maintained this one store with no idea of ​​expansion. I’ll let you take over then and see if you can make this electric city bigger and stronger.”

Fan Yuemei was really excited when she heard this. As a native of Nanning, she naturally knew Ahua Home Appliance City, which is the largest home appliance city in Nanning. She didn't expect that this was also her boyfriend's business. Although this electronic city store is not as good as a snack street, it is still a very big business. As long as she gets married, she will start by taking over such a big business. It is difficult not to be excited.

"Thank you, uncle. I will make this electric city bigger and stronger, and I won't let you down."

"I believe in your ability. When the time comes, just go ahead and do it. If you have any questions, I will explain it to you."

The future father-in-law's trust made Fan Yuemei feel as if she had been given a shot of blood. She had already made up her mind to learn more about the home appliance industry in the next few months. When she married into the Deng family and took over the home appliance city, she would work hard. Make it bigger and stronger so that we can live up to my father-in-law’s trust.

This meal took almost two hours to finish.

Before leaving, Deng Shirong took out a red envelope that he had prepared a long time ago, handed it to Fan Yuemei and said: "Amei, this is a red envelope for you. Tomorrow our family will go back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year. We will invite you after returning to our hometown after the Spring Festival." Come to your house for dinner.”

"Thank you, uncle!"

…

PS: Thank you for your concern, relatives. Nowadays, I have a lot of coding tasks every day, and I don’t have time to take care of it. It is also difficult to find the right doctor for such a problem...
