Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

noon.

In a girls' dormitory of Songshan High School, Deng Yunzhu quickly packed and packed all her luggage.

Seeing this scene, the other roommates were not surprised, because many roommates were doing the same thing.

After all, this year is Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday, and the day after tomorrow is National Day. With two and a half days of vacation in a row, it is a normal thing to take your luggage home.

Even though Deng Shirong is now selling hundreds of thousands or millions, it seems that there are rich people everywhere in this era. However, in fact it is only 1984, and the majority of families in rural areas are still in poverty.

Many students are already short of quilts, mats and clothes at home. If they don’t take these back when they go back for the holidays, they won’t have anything extra for them to use when they go back, so they have to take these luggage with them every time they go home.

Everyone thought that Deng Yunzhu was taking her luggage home, but they never thought that she was moving her luggage to the teachers' dormitory building to live with English teacher Li Mei.

Soon, Deng Yunzhu took her packed luggage and left the dormitory where she had lived for nearly a month without any regrets.

When we arrived at the teachers’ dormitory, Teacher Li Mei was waiting downstairs.

The two greeted each other, and then Teacher Li Mei took Deng Yunzhu to the dormitory where she lived. This was a room on the second floor. It was quite simple. In addition to a bunk bed, there was only a desk and a A dining table, a wooden box and two stools.

Li Mei pointed to the upper bunk that had been packed away and said, "Classmate Deng Yunzhu, you can sleep on the upper bunk!"

Deng Yunzhu nodded, put the luggage on the upper bunk, and said, "Mr. Li, just leave the things like this for now, and I'll sort them out when I get back from vacation!"

Li Mei smiled and said: "You put it here first, and I will help you make the bed later when I have time."

Deng Yunzhu said quickly: "Teacher Li, how can I ask you to help me make the bed? Just leave it here and wait until I come back to make it!"

Li Mei said: "Don't be so polite, just make a bed, it only takes three or two minutes."

Deng Yunzhu thought about bringing some delicious food to the teacher when she came back, so she was no longer polite and said: "Then I'll bother Teacher Li. People from my village are still waiting for me to go home with them, so I'll leave first." ha!"

Li Mei smiled and said, "Well, I'll go out tomorrow and get a key. I'll give it to you when you go back to school next week."

"Thank you, Teacher Li. Goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

…

After leaving the teachers' dormitory building, when Deng Yunzhu came to the bicycle parking shed, her friends from the same village were already waiting for her.

"Second aunt (aunt)."

Also greeting Deng Yunzhu were two boys. One was named Deng Sibao, who went to Gaoxing Village and is a sophomore in high school this year. One named Deng Star, from Umeda Village, is a freshman in high school this year.

Every time she hears this title, Deng Yunzhu wants to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it. Sometimes being older is not a good thing. Being an aunt is okay, but becoming an aunt is really not a good experience.

Deng Yunzhu said helplessly: "I said you two, can't you just call me by my name?"

Deng Sibao chuckled and said, "Second aunt, just take it. How dare we call you by your name? If my dad hears it, he won't break my legs."

Deng Star also nodded and said: "Yes, second aunt, please don't embarrass us. My father has to call you aunt, but I call you by your first name. Isn't this a source of trouble?"

Deng Yunzhu also knew that it was very difficult for them to change their names, so she unlocked her bicycle and waved her hand: "Forget it, you can shout as much as you like when you return to the village. Anyway, just stop calling me like this at school. I'm hungry." , quickly go to the street to eat a bowl of noodles."

Deng Sibao and Deng Sida responded, and the three of them rode their bicycles out of the school gate, ate a bowl of noodles at a noodle stall on the street, and then rode their bicycles home together.

…

afternoon.

Naye Village.

Seeing that his children were back from vacation, Deng Shirong prepared to make a classic stir-fried chicken with white garlic.

In Bobai County, there are about three common ways to prepare chicken, namely white-cut chicken, salt-baked chicken, and white garlic-fried chicken.

White-cut chicken needs no introduction. It is an indispensable dish for Bobai people during festivals and various banquets.

Salt-baked chicken is one of the three traditional famous dishes in Guangdong. It evolved from the "salt-baked chicken" wrapped in salt during the migration of the Hakka people. It has a history of thousands of years.

Salt-baked chicken mainly uses local chickens from Hakka mountainous areas as raw materials, and is refined through more than 10 processes. It has the characteristics of "fresh, salty and mellow". Salt-baked chicken is a brand of traditional Hakka food culture and a "root-seeking question" for Hakka overseas Chinese in the world. The symbol of "ancestor" is also a living fossil that witnesses Hakka history and culture.

Compared to the reputation of the first two dishes, fried chicken with garlic is unknown, but the taste of this dish is really not bad at all, especially when eating chicken in rural areas, either boiled chicken or stir-fried with garlic There is basically no third way to cook chicken.

Deng Shirong makes this stir-fried chicken with white garlic. The chicken is a large capon that has been raised for about a year. The garlic is locally grown pesto. Only the white part of the garlic is used, not the garlic leaves.

Cook the chicken first and force out all the blood foam, so that the fried chicken will taste better.

Sitting there lighting the fire was the youngest daughter Deng Yunzhu. She turned eighteen this year and was already a real big girl. She was lighting the fire while watching her father cooking.

Seeing her interest, Deng Shirong put oil into the hot pot and said: "Azhu, this dish is the most common dish in the countryside. It is very simple and easy to learn, but some people fry it and it is not delicious at all. , do you know why?”

Deng Yunzhu shook his head and said, "Why? Is there any trick to frying chicken?"

Deng Shirong said with a smile: "There is indeed a trick. The reason why those people don't fry the chicken well is because they fry the chicken directly, or they don't force out the chicken fat. You have to fry it like me to make it taste better. You Take a good look."

As he said that, the oil was already hot. Deng Shirong moistened the pot, filled up the hot oil, then added cold oil to heat it again, then poured in the chopped chicken pieces and stir-fried.

Deng Shirong said while stir-frying: "The first step is to squeeze out the chicken fat and stir-fry for a few minutes. When part of the chicken fat is forced out, you can add an appropriate amount of soy sauce to stir-fry and color, and then add an appropriate amount water and a little sugar to make it fresh.”

At this point, Deng Shirong covered the pot and said, "Turn the heat down a little and let it simmer for ten to twenty minutes."

Deng Yunzhu responded, lowered the fire, and then said: "Dad, this looks really simple. Let it stew for ten or twenty minutes. Finally, sprinkle some salt, add chopped garlic, and then heat it up." Is it okay to collect the juice?”

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "That's pretty much it. You can also add some oyster sauce in moderation."

Deng Yunzhu said: "I feel like I will be fired after watching it once!"

Deng Shirong said: "It's not difficult at first, but you need to pay attention to the water content. If you add too much, the chicken will not be fried but boiled. If you add too little, it will become dry easily. You must master this degree to make it delicious."

Deng Yunzhu nodded. While waiting, she told her father about changing dormitories with the dean of school, and finally said: "Now, I have moved to the teachers' dormitory building to live with the English teacher."

Deng Shirong didn't expect that his younger daughter would have the courage and brains to actually use her second brother's influence in the school to achieve her goals. She couldn't help but praise: "Well done, you know how to use existing resources to make yourself better off. This is It’s a very smart approach.”

Deng Yunzhu was very happy to be praised by her father and asked: "Dad, you said I took leave. Do you want to bring some gifts to Director Dai and Teacher Li?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It's even better if you can think of this. When you return from leave, bring a bag of tea and a bag of fresh fruit to Director Dai. As for Teacher Li, bring her a bag of longan meat." and a net bag of fresh fruit.”

Deng Yunzhu nodded and said: "Okay, I understand!"

Deng Shirong said: "Teacher Li, because you will live with her for the rest of your high school life, so every time you come back, you bring her some fruits and other things. The things don't have to be expensive, the main thing is that you have this intention. "

Deng Yunzhu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Deng Shirong opened the lid of the pot. At this time, 80% of the chicken fat had been forced out and the water had almost evaporated. He added an appropriate amount of oyster sauce and salt, and then added the chopped garlic next to it. Bai poured it in and ordered: "Now we can increase the firepower!"

After hearing this, Deng Yunzhu stuffed a handful of weeds into the stove. The dried and flammable weeds burned instantly, contributing a huge amount of heat.

Deng Shirong kept stir-frying, and after about twenty seconds, the dish was ready.

Seeing the golden chicken on the plate, the tangy aroma made Deng Yunzhu salivate.

Soon, Deng Shirong fried another green vegetable and announced that dinner was ready.

"This chicken tastes so delicious. Dad cooked it so well."

"I haven't had such delicious food in a long time. Those meals in school are just fooling people."

"It's not just a fool. The key is that it can't be washed clean. Vegetable worms are often eaten in vegetables. It's really disgusting!"

"..."

During the meal, the three siblings, Deng Yunzhu, Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng, while praising their father's delicious cooking, also complained about the school food.

Nowadays, Deng Yunzhu is in Songshan High School, while Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng are in Shuangwang Junior High School. They all go home once a week and eat at school most of the time. The food in the school has been criticized by countless students even in future generations. Let alone this day and age.

Deng Shirong also knew that the food in the school was not much better. After thinking about it, he said: "Since the food in the school is not delicious, you might as well eat outside. You will have to pay for the food."

The three siblings' eyes lit up when they heard this.

Deng Yunzhu is better, she is a high school student after all, and she is an adult.

As an adult daughter, Deng Shirong will certainly not miss her in terms of money. Now her monthly living expenses are 20 yuan, which is already very rich for a high school student. I can’t spend all my money on snacks and the like.

What's more, Deng Yunzhu also has private money, such as the hundreds of yuan in red envelopes she received during the Spring Festival, and the bursary awarded by her family when she was admitted to high school, which made her easily the richest student in Songshan High School. none of them.

As for Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng, these two brothers actually have a lot of pocket money, but they are both big brother-level figures in school. They often treat the younger brothers who follow them to eat snacks. This expense is naturally higher than that of the second sister. They are older, and their living expenses are not as much as the second sister's, so money is naturally tight.

Now I hear that my father wants to increase their monthly living expenses, which is naturally a happy thing.

After talking about his children's studies, Deng Shirong looked at his niece and said, "Dafang, the sugar cane grown by your parents is almost ready to be chopped, right?"

Bu Dafang nodded and said: "Zhongshi came over a few days ago and mentioned it, saying that in about half a month we will start cutting sugar cane."

Deng Shirong asked: "How is the growth of sugar cane?"

Bu Dafang said: "I went to see it last month. The sugarcane is growing very well. It should be no problem to produce 3 tons per mu."

Deng Shirong said with a smile: "Then your parents will make a lot of money this year. When they cut sugar cane, they should remind them not to do everything by themselves, but to know how to ask others for help. The little money they earn from others will have a big impact on the overall income." It’s not worth mentioning at all.”

Jiang Dehu then said, "My parents are used to saving money. If we don't tell them, they might really do it themselves."

"I'll tell them later."

Speaking of this, Deng Shirong said to his niece again: "A-Zhen is probably going to visit the house next Saturday, so you should go with her!"

Bu Dafang was surprised and happy when she heard this. She didn't know about this yet, so she quickly asked: "Uncle, where is the person A Zhen is talking about coming from? What does he do?"

It was also the first time for Deng Yunzhu, Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng to know the news, and they all showed surprised expressions.

Deng Shirong said: "The man is from Shanxin. He just returned from the army this year and is currently a deputy director of the County Public Security Bureau."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again.

Being able to work in the Public Security Bureau is already very impressive, and being a deputy director sounds awesome.

Bu Dafang smiled and said: "Azhen has found a good marriage!"

Deng Yunzhu asked: "Dad, is sister getting married?"

Deng Shirong said: "I'm just looking after the family. I'm not getting married so soon. According to your sister's intention, she should get married next year or the year after."

Deng Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She was really afraid that her sister would get married in a month or two after looking after the family like others.

This woman is different from a man. When a man gets married, he gets his wife back, while when a woman gets married, she gets herself married off.

Once a woman gets married, she becomes a member of someone else's family. Naturally, Deng Yunzhu hopes that her sister will stay in her natal family for one or two more years.

Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng also had similar thoughts. They didn't want their eldest sister to get married so soon.

"Dad, if it's next Saturday, then I'll go with you. Our school is not far from the center of the mountain anyway," Deng Yunzhu said.

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Okay, you can go if you want!"

Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng looked at each other and said in unison: "Dad, we want to go too."

Deng Shirong glanced at them and said, "As long as your second sister, cousin, and eldest brother and sister-in-law go, don't join in the fun!"

"oh!"

…

National Day.

After Deng Shirong came back and said it, everyone in Bangjie knew that the country would hold a grand military parade to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China on National Day.

Therefore, after having breakfast on this day, the villagers came to Deng Shirong's house with small benches to occupy their seats, preparing to watch the military parade they had never seen on TV.

Deng Shirong also turned on the TV early today and focused on CCTV.

Before nine o'clock, all the prominent clan members from each village arrived.

The military parade has not yet started, and everyone gathered around Deng Shirong to talk about the passenger transport company. They all have been doing business in their hometown for many years, and naturally they are not as clear about the company's operations as Deng Shirong, who is often in the county.

After hearing the tribesmen's inquiries, Deng Shirong explained the development of the passenger transport company: "Although it is the off-season, the passenger transport company is still very profitable. On average, it can earn about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a month. The company is currently preparing Get a loan from the bank and buy ten more buses before the Spring Festival arrives.”

Hearing this, Deng Yungui couldn't help but said: "Uncle Jiu, where can the company use the loan? We have the money we earned during the Spring Festival last year and the money we earned this year. It doesn't add up to one million, but it's not much different. Buy ten cars." If we don’t have enough money for buses, we can just raise funds in proportion.”

Deng Shirong shook his head and said: "Last year, everyone's cash was drained by raising funds. This year, we finally got back to planting watermelons. Many tribesmen are busy building houses or marrying wives. If we raise funds again, everyone's money will be tight, so It’s better to take a loan.”

Deng Changbao said: "Just take a loan, so that everyone can really have more money. Anyway, with the company's earning power, we are not afraid of not being able to pay back the money."

Deng Changxiong said: "Last year, ten buses earned more than 400,000 yuan during the Spring Festival Transport. If we add ten more buses this year, wouldn't we earn 700,000 to 800,000 yuan during the Spring Festival Transport?"

Others also showed excitement when they heard this. If they could really make seven or eight hundred thousand yuan, the profit per share would be as high as two or three hundred yuan. If you join a family with three or four shares, your income can easily break through during the Spring Festival. Qian, this feeling of making money while lying down is really great.

Deng Shirong said with a smile: "Absolutely. Now more and more people from Bobai are going to Guangdong to work. It's not unusual to earn 7 or 8 million in one Spring Festival travel period. In a few years, I'm afraid it will be more than 70 or 80 thousand." It’s so simple.”

Everyone in the clan was filled with excitement after hearing this, and they all regretted that they were still conservative when raising funds last year. If they had known that the passenger transport company was so profitable, they should have sold the iron and even went to the bank for a loan. Instead of doing something like Uncle Jiu (Mr. Jiu) If you only buy a few dozen shares from a few hundred shares, you will make a lot of money.

Soon, the military parade was about to begin, and the attention of the tribesmen returned to the TV.

On the TV screen, I saw a sea of ​​people on the auditorium and the square. The scene looked very shocking.

At 9:40, Deng Gong and other leaders, together with people's representatives from all walks of life across the country and guests from various countries, boarded the Tiananmen Rostrum amid thunderous applause.

At 10 o'clock, the leader announced: "The meeting to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China has begun!"

Then, the celebration kicked off with the majestic national anthem "March of the Volunteers" and the sound of a 28-gun salute.

At 10:02:26, ​​the red-flag black open-top parade vehicle in which Mr. Deng was riding started, drove out of Tiananmen Square, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and began to review the troops.

Ten minutes later, the military parade ended and Duke Deng delivered an important speech.

During the whole process, the members of the Yedeng clan watched intently, exclaiming in surprise from time to time.

After Deng Gong delivered an inspiring speech, the next sequence of formations was the bombshell. When the movements were neat and uniform, looking at a line horizontally, a line vertically, and diagonally, the infantry phalanx appeared on TV. On the screen, all the Deng clan members were stunned.

What brought the entire military parade to a climax was the soldiers' three-stage spear-splitting action. This action debuted for the first time in the military parade.

As soon as the command to split the gun came out, there were only three crisp clicks, clicks, clicks, and the soldiers raised their guns forward in one go, showing off their domineering power.

When passing the rostrum, the soldiers need to goose-step with their guns drawn. They hold the steel guns and maintain the goose-step posture. At the same time, in conjunction with the movements of their hands, they put the butts of the guns on their hips and shoulders, and the bayonets are tilted forward about 45 degrees, away from the front row. There was only a 12 centimeter gap between the fighters, and the entire set of movements was performed smoothly and in one go. Coupled with the fighters' resolute eyes, neat movements, and murderous intent, the atmosphere of the entire venue was completely ignited in an instant.

In front of the TV, the members of the Nayedeng clan were shocked and used all kinds of swear words.

There is no way, the country people's way of expressing shock is to swear, just like the way later generations express their shock is to say "fuck".

Deng Shirong watched with excitement. No wonder the National Day military parade in 1984 was regarded as a god in later generations. This scene was so awesome that even an old man with a mental age of over 90 was aroused. What's more, it would be strange for those young and energetic young people not to scream in excitement.

Soon, these scenes passed one by one, and it was the parade's turn.

Upon seeing this, Deng Shirong reminded the tribesmen: "There are students from Peking University in this parade, and my Yunheng is also in the parade. You all open your eyes and help to see if you can find him."

As soon as these words came out, the tribesmen couldn't help but get excited.

"Uncle Jiu, you didn't tell me about such a big thing earlier."

"Uncle Yunheng actually attended the military parade. It's really amazing!"

"Oh my god, Uncle Yunheng should have met Mr. Deng, right?"

"Everyone, keep your eyes open and see if you can spot Yun Heng in the crowd."

"..."

Jiang Dehu, Bu Dafang, Deng Yunzhu, Deng Yunhua, Deng Yunheng and others had known the news for a long time, and they were all staring at the TV.

Soon, the parades passed one by one, and after the science and technology parade was the education parade.

The leader of the education team is Peking University.

Deng Shi'an warned: "Look clearly, Peking University is coming!"

As soon as Deng Shi'an finished speaking, an exciting and inspiring scene appeared. When he walked to the Donghua Table of Jinshui Bridge, a banner made of bedsheets suddenly opened in the square of Peking University, with the words " "Hello Xiaoping" are four big characters.

Because everyone kept staring, they immediately found Deng Yunheng, mainly because his location was too conspicuous, and he turned out to be one of the people holding the banner.

Originally, this shot was very short and passed by in a flash, but as earth-shattering cheers erupted from the scene, the camera was pulled back again and focused on the unexpected banner, and Deng Yunheng's figure became clearer.

At this moment, the tribesmen in front of the TV cheered with excitement.
