Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Bobai County.

Naye Deng Clan Community.

Looking at this community named after Naye Deng Clan, Deng Shize was filled with emotion.

He did not expect that the old ninth brother who used to follow behind him would have such a great ability. After becoming the head of the clan, he immediately led the clan to raise funds to build this beautiful community in the county. It was really amazing.

When they arrived at the residence, the seven-story house with a large area and luxurious decoration naturally aroused the amazement of Deng Shize's family.

They rarely see such a beautifully decorated house in Taiwan.

The next day, after breakfast, Deng Shirong and others took a car back to Naye Village.

This year, while his eldest brother's family came back, Deng Shirong prepared to spend a big reunion year. Not only did all his children and grandchildren come back, but his third sister's family also went to Naye Village to celebrate the New Year.

On the way back to Naye Village, seeing the winding road and the landscape of the towns and villages along the way, Deng Shize and his children and grandchildren had different views.

Deng Shize compared Bobai County more than 50 years ago with the present, and naturally felt that Bobai County had changed a lot, and was much better than before.

After all, he still had some impression of what the county town of Bobai County was like back then.

In addition, the highway was not only small, but also a shabby dirt road, not to mention the towns along the way, there were few decent buildings.

Today, compared with the past, it is much better.

The county town already has many high-rise buildings and various buildings, which can be regarded as a shotgun replacement.

The highway has not only been widened a lot, but also asphalt roads, which has also made great progress.

There are also many more buildings in the towns along the way, which is really a big change.

Deng Shize's children and grandchildren grew up in Taiwan, so naturally they compared Taiwan with Bobai. Taiwan's economy is now at its peak. Even Shanghai, the most developed city in China, is far behind Taiwan, let alone other places.

Accustomed to the prosperity of Taiwan, the "shabby" roads and buildings in Bobai County are naturally a bit unsightly.

When Deng Shize returned to Shuangwang Town, he felt more and more familiar with it.

Although he had been away from home for many years, he had never forgotten his hometown.

After the bus passed through Shuangwang Town, crossed Mangtouling, and entered the village where the Deng family of Naye lived, the 60-meter avenue and villa complex in front of them finally shocked Deng Shize and his family.

Deng Shize and his family were mentally prepared for the long row of villas that could not be seen at the end.

After all, when Deng Shirong was in Taiwan, he had already told his family that every household in the Deng family of Naye lived in a big villa. Therefore, when they saw the villa complex, their family was just a little amazed, but not too shocked.

What shocked them was this 60-meter avenue. Such an advanced and beautiful highway suddenly appeared in this backward rural area, and anyone who saw it would be shocked.

Although it is the cold twelfth month now, the lowest temperature is still several degrees. The yellowing branches and leaves of the ginkgo tree have not fallen off completely, and it still looks golden. The scenery is still so beautiful that Deng Shize and his family can't take their eyes off.

After arriving at the 60-meter Avenue, it is not far from home.

In less than two minutes, two buses and four cars stopped at the door of the Deng family's old house.

After getting off the bus, Deng Shize looked around with his crutches. Although the old houses around him, including his own, were gone, he still saw a lot of familiar things, such as the stream at the door, and the mountain in front of the left, which was a threshing ground in the past, and the huge banyan tree on the right, which was where the land god was.

And a little further away, those mountains also looked very familiar.

When Deng Shize looked around, the movement here also alarmed the clansmen, and they all came over curiously.

A few minutes later, a shocking news spread in the Deng family of Naye.

"Uncle San, hurry... hurry to the clan leader's house, something big has happened!"

"Xiao Qi, speak slowly, what big thing has happened in the clan leader's house?"

"The clan leader's eldest brother who disappeared for more than 50 years is back!"

"Ah? What... what's going on? The clan leader's eldest brother is back?"

"I don't know the details, but I heard that he came back from Taiwan, and there were more than 20 nephews and nieces of the clan leader!"

"No wonder the clan leader's eldest brother has been missing for a long time. It turns out that he ran to Taiwan. This is really a big deal. I have to go and take a look."

"..."

Similar scenes are constantly being played out in various families.

The clan members who heard the news rushed to the clan leader's house as soon as possible.

The clan members under the age of 65 in the clan have no impression of Deng Shize.

After all, when Deng Shize left home, they were all children under the age of ten. Even if such young children had memories, they would have forgotten them after more than 50 years.

However, the tribesmen over 65 years old are different, especially those over 70 years old, who are all the same age as Deng Shize. If they are from a village a little far away, it is normal that they don’t know each other, but for villages that are closer, everyone was a companion when they were young, so they are naturally more familiar with each other.

For example, Deng Shian, he is three years older than Deng Shize, and the two were also companions when they were young, and the impression is still very deep.

Therefore, when he heard the news that Deng Shize had returned, Deng Shian rushed over as soon as possible.

"Aze!"

"Brother An!"

The two have not seen each other for more than fifty years. If they met outside, they would definitely not recognize each other. After all, people are completely different when they are young and when they are old. After not seeing each other for decades, no one would recognize each other. That ability can recognize each other.

However, after knowing the identity of the other party, if you look carefully, you can still find some characteristics of the other party when you were young.

Deng Shian said with emotion: "I didn't expect that after more than fifty years, I can still see you back."

Deng Shize also sighed: "I really didn't expect it. I thought I would be buried in Taiwan in this life, but I actually met my old nine in Taiwan. It was really a manifestation of my ancestors."

Deng Shi'an couldn't help but ask: "Aze, it seems that many Taiwanese compatriots have returned to the mainland to visit relatives in the past few years. Why haven't you come back yet?"

Deng Shize sighed: "My situation is quite special. It's really hard to explain in words. I'll tell you later when I have time."

Deng Shi'an nodded and said: "Okay, we'll talk about it later when we have time. When you come back this time, you shouldn't leave, right?"

Deng Shize shook his head and said: "If I don't leave, I will retire in my hometown and be able to return to my roots. This is my biggest wish."

Deng Shi'an smiled and said: "It's better not to leave. Our Deng family, under the leadership of your Lao Jiu, has changed from what it used to be. It's better to stay at home than to go anywhere."

Hearing this, Deng Shize also smiled and said: "I didn't expect my Laojiu to be so capable. Compared with when I left, this village has changed a lot. I remember that there should be a grain drying farm there. The one built now Is it an ancestral hall or some kind of temple?”

Deng Shi'an said proudly: "That is our Ye Deng family's ancestral hall. It has been built seven or eight years ago. It cost more than one million yuan in total. Looking at the whole country, I am afraid that there is no one more majestic and magnificent than our Ye Deng family's ancestral hall." The ancestral hall.”

Deng Shize couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this. He already knew the exchange between Taiwan dollars and RMB. It cost more than one million RMB to build this ancestral hall, which is several million Taiwan dollars. It was several years ago. This is incredible. Yes!

He immediately said: "Then I have to take a look."

Deng Shirong, who was walking over, happened to hear this and asked, "Brother, do you want to take a rest first?"

Deng Shize shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm not too tired. It's not too late to take a look at this ancestral hall and go back to rest."

Deng Shirong said: "Well, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me. Our village has a county-level hospital."

Deng Shize was surprised and asked: "There is also a county-level hospital in our village?"

Deng Shirong nodded and smiled: "Yes, it is built on Apo Mountain. When you go to see the ancestral hall later, you can see the whole hospital."

Deng Shize said happily: "That's great. Originally, with my weak body, it was a bit inconvenient to take care of my old age here in my hometown. Now that we have this hospital, it is equivalent to having a safety guarantee and I can stay in my hometown with peace of mind." ”

At this time, Deng Yunfu also came over after saying hello to the tribesmen. He was very happy when he heard this. His father went back to his hometown with Uncle Man this time. He brought all the things he should bring with him. He was ready not to return to Taiwan. It is a preparation to stay in my hometown for the rest of my life.

In this regard, Deng Yunfu's brother and sister naturally supported their father's approach.

After all, this is my father's greatest wish.

But their father's health and their children all know that if they are recuperating in Taiwan, they can go to the hospital at any time if anything happens, but when they return to their hometown in the mainland, they may not have such conveniences.

As a result, there was a county-level hospital in his hometown, which finally made Deng Yunfu's worries finally come to an end.

It is indeed perfect for my father to retire here in his hometown.

Soon, Deng Shize, with the support of his eldest grandson, arrived at the Deng's Ancestral Hall in Naye, which was only a few dozen meters away. His wife and other children and grandchildren naturally followed.

Needless to say the next scene, when the family visited the ancestral hall, they were all shocked by the majestic and magnificent ancestral hall.

As a member of the Naye Deng family, Deng Shize was not only shocked when he saw such an awesome ancestral hall, but also felt a sense of pride. Especially when he saw the preface and donation merit monument on the merit wall of the ancestral hall, he knew that this ancestral hall The ninth brother of my family has done a great job, and he, as the eldest brother, is also proud of it.

The five brothers and sisters of Deng Yunfu and their descendants all grew up in Taiwan. Naturally, their feelings for the mainland of China cannot be compared with that of their father. But after seeing this ancestral hall, they all have a greater sense of identification with their hometown.

Although this sense of identity is not enough for them to shift their focus from Taiwan to the mainland, with this sense of identity, as long as they can find better development prospects in the mainland than in Taiwan, the brothers and sisters are also willing to return to the mainland. .

After the eldest brother and sister-in-law finished visiting the ancestral hall, Deng Shirong pointed in the direction of Grandma Mountain and said, "Brother, look, that's the hospital of our village."

This ancestral hall is only about a hundred meters away from Apo Mountain. You can see the hospital building very clearly from here. Deng Shize nodded repeatedly. With this hospital as a guarantee, he can rest well and live for another two or three days. Years, there should be no problem.

Next, Deng Shirong told the clan members about the clan meeting tomorrow, and then took his eldest brother and his family back to the villa.

The villa of Deng Shirong's family is the largest one with enough rooms. In addition to the original old house, there is no problem in housing the eldest brother's family and the third sister's family.

At noon, after lunch.

Deng Shize leaned on a cane and asked sadly: "Laojiu, where are my parents buried? I want to take the children to burn incense for them."

Deng Shirong said: "Not far, they are buried in Dawodu, but we can delay burning incense for my parents. After all, so many years have passed, and these two days are not a big deal. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I will prepare the offerings and come to worship my parents later."

Deng Shize nodded and said: "Okay, this is the first time to worship my parents, it would be embarrassing to go empty-handed."

Deng Shirong pondered and said: "Brother, if I worship my parents, If you want to pay respect to your parents, you must explain your situation to them. Brother, your identity as a party general will probably make them unhappy. Anyway, you are retired now and plan to return to your hometown to retire. Do you want to report your situation and strive to restore your party membership?

We don't ask for anything else, just a name. "

Deng Shize originally didn't plan to bother with this. After all, the people who knew his identity back then probably had an accident and are no longer alive. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to stay hidden. Someone should have contacted him long ago.

Now that decades have passed, many things can no longer be proven true or false. It may be difficult for him to come back and get the country's recognition.

However, what his brother said was not wrong. This party general is naturally glorious in Taiwan, but it is different in the mainland.

If his parents knew, they probably wouldn't be happy.

Thinking of this, Deng Shize hesitated and said, "Old Nine, I don't know the situation in our motherland yet. Do you think it's okay to report my situation?"

Deng Shirong said, "Brother, there are many public officials in our family, and Yunheng and Yunsong's father-in-law are both senior leaders. You can talk to them about this matter first. If they think it can be done, then we will do it. If they say it can't be done, then forget it."

Deng Shize nodded slowly and said, "Okay, then listen to the children's opinions."

Hearing this, Deng Shirong called his eldest son-in-law, second son, and third son to report to the government. He called his son and his third daughter-in-law, who were both in the government, and told them about his eldest brother's situation. Finally, he said, "Your uncle wants to return to the organization. I wonder if it's difficult to do it?"

Deng Yunheng didn't expect that his uncle had such a hidden secret. He spoke first, "Uncle, if you were still in office, it would be difficult to do unless there was hard evidence. But now you are retired. All you want is a name. This shouldn't be difficult."

Deng Yunsong continued, "Second brother is right. Uncle is just Asking for a name, even if you can't provide too much evidence, the leader will consider it. "

Pei Qinghua said: "Uncle, if you decide to report it, I can contact my father to ask about the situation."

Deng Shize already knew the identity of the niece's father, he nodded and said: "Qinghua, then trouble you."

Pei Qinghua smiled and said: "Uncle, you're welcome, it's just a little effort."

Deng Yunheng said: "I can also call my father-in-law and the leader to talk about this matter."

Deng Shirong followed up: "Brother, if your return is approved by the organization Agreed, all my nephews and nieces must return to the motherland, otherwise if the news leaks out, I don’t know if there will be any accidents. ”

Deng Shize nodded and said: "I understand, report it first. If you can really return to the organization, let Yunfu and others deal with the industries in Taiwan, and all the people return to the motherland to develop."

Deng Shirong said: "That's no problem."

Pei Qinghua said: "I'll call my dad now."

Deng Yunheng said: "I'll also call the leader to ask."

…

Deng Shize's family returned from Taiwan and caused a huge sensation in the Deng family.

On the one hand, Taiwanese compatriots in this era are synonymous with rich people, and there are also political considerations, so every Taiwanese compatriot who returns to the mainland to visit relatives has received attention from the local government.

On the other hand, Deng Shize is the elder brother of the clan leader. This identity alone is enough to cause a sensation in the whole clan.

"I heard that San Gong will not return to Taiwan this time and will stay in his hometown to retire."

"Although Taiwanese people are rich, our Deng family is not bad either. It is normal for San Gong to come back to retire."

"San Gong is Jiu Gong's elder brother. Since he is back, should San Gong buy some shares in our Deng Group?"

"I think San Gong should buy shares. After all, our Deng Group was founded by Jiu Gong. We are where we are today because of Jiu Gong's contribution. Now that Jiu Gong's elder brother is back, it is reasonable for us to give San Gong some shares."

"Indeed, without Jiu Gong, we would not be where we are today. Now that San Gong is back, we should give San Gong some shares. , I fully agree with it. "

"I agree with it too. Anyway, dividing some shares will not affect our income. I will bring it up at the clan meeting tomorrow."

"Well, let's bring it up together. Should Jiugong bring up such a thing?"

"..."

"I didn't expect that Third Uncle is still alive."

"Third Uncle went to the army and never came back. There was no news for decades. I thought something happened that year, but I didn't expect that he went to Taiwan."

"Did Third Uncle join the Kuomintang?"

"I don't know about this. Since he went to Taiwan, he should be the Kuomintang, right?"

"It's not good to ask too much about such things. Anyway, it's good that he came back."

"..."

It must be said that Deng Shirong's prestige in the clan is really too high. When the clan members discussed his eldest brother, they all agreed to let his eldest brother invest in the Deng Group, and this investment was at the price of that year, not at the current price.

In other words, it is equivalent to giving a part of the shares to Deng Shize for free.

And these are undoubtedly all for the sake of Deng Shirong, the clan leader. If it were any other clan member, even Chang Yong, the chief, it would be impossible to get the unanimous approval of the clan members.

However, how could Deng Shirong take advantage of this? As the clan leader with the highest prestige in the clan, it is basic to act fairly. Anyway, the eldest brother's family has his guidance, even if they don't invest in the group, they can still have great development, so there is no need to invest in the group.

…

PS: Thank you all for your monthly tickets. In this era, you really can't afford to get sick. In a few days, my wife and children have contributed to the hospital again. Thousands of dollars are gone in a flash. Alas…
