Return to 1980 and be a matchmaker

"Sister, can you put more oil on me?"

"I also want to put more for you, but look at this oil can for yourself. Our family will use the oil in it until the end of the year. If we don't use it sparingly, how can we last until the end of the year!"

When Deng Shirong returned home, he saw his eldest daughter Deng Yunzhen frying dried radish in the kitchen. His second son Deng Yunheng helped light the fire while looking longingly at the oil can on the stove.

Deng Shirong instantly understood that today was Sunday, and his second son, who was in high school, would have to go to school soon. Because the high school he attended was in Songshan Commune, it took more than three hours to walk there, so he had to set off after lunch.

Now, the eldest daughter is preparing pickles and a bottle of fried dried radish for him. This is what the second son will eat at school in the next week.

Deng Shirong took a closer look and saw that the dried radish in the pot was almost cooked. Because the eldest daughter was reluctant to add oil, the dried radish looked dry and unappetizing.

"dad!"

Seeing Deng Shirong approaching, the siblings said hello together.

Deng Shirong hummed, then picked up the spoon in the oil can, dug out a ball of lard about the size of an egg, and threw it into the pot.

The lump of lard melted quickly in the high-temperature pot, making a "sizzling" sound, and a rich aroma of oil spread instantly, shocking both the siblings.

Deng Shirong took the spatula from his eldest daughter and quickly stir-fried it a few times, then put the fried dried radish into the glass bottle that had been prepared.

Looking at the oily dried radish in the glass bottle, Deng Yunheng said in disbelief: "Dad, is this dried radish really brought to school for me to eat?"

Deng Shirong hummed again, then took out two dollars from his pocket and handed it to him, saying: "It's not a big deal to eat radish every day. You can take this money and buy some other dishes in the school cafeteria for a change."

Deng Yunheng was completely dumbfounded. He had been in high school for almost a year, and this was the first time he had enjoyed such high treatment.

Deng Yunzhen's eyes were full of shock. It was incredible to her that her father suddenly put so much oil into the fried radish. But what she never expected was that her father even gave her brother two yuan as living expenses. This was simply unbelievable. Subverted her imagination.

Is my father getting rich?

Seeing the shocked expressions on his children's faces, Deng Shirong reached out and patted his second son on the shoulder, and said something sincerely: "Yunheng, you should study hard in school. Now the country attaches great importance to education. Reading can be said to be the only thing we rural people can do." way out.

You'll graduate from high school in just over a year. If you can't get into college, you'll have no choice but to come back and work hard. If you can get into college, your future will have endless possibilities.

I don't know how much you can listen to what I'm saying now. Anyway, I will do my best to make sure you have enough food at school so that you don't have to worry about anything.

As for whether you can get into college, it depends on you. Others can't help you. You can only rely on your own efforts. "

In his previous life, except for his eldest son who died young, among the other four sons, what distressed Deng Shirong the most was the development of his second son.

After graduating from high school, Deng Yunheng had no choice but to return to his family's vat and tile factory to learn the craft of making vats from his father because he was not admitted to college.

Because Deng Yunheng is smart, flexible and extremely talented, it would take an ordinary person at least two or three years to learn to become a vat master. However, it only took him more than a month to learn and became a vat master.

In the 80s, big-tank masters were still very popular in rural areas.

Among the division of labor in the entire cylinder tile factory, there are those who are responsible for picking mud, those who are responsible for stepping on mud, those who make fine goods, and those who make large goods...

Among them, the wages are the lowest for pure physical work like picking mud. If you work hard all day from morning to night, you can probably earn about [-] yuan. I don’t know how many people are rushing to do it. , after all, there are too few profitable jobs in rural areas in this era.
