Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

After Deng Yunheng came back, not many days later, Deng Changfu's family happily held the Full Moon Wine.

As the first set of twins born in the history of Naye Village, the full-moon wine held by Deng Changfu's family naturally aroused discussion in the second and third villages.

As Deng Shirong is the matchmaker, it is natural to invite him to this full moon banquet.

After drinking the full moon wine, Deng Shirong received a pig butt weighing more than ten kilograms specially sent from Deng Changfu's family.

Today's matchmakers are different from the matchmakers of later generations. After receiving the matchmaker's thank you gift, the matchmakers of later generations basically drew a clear line between themselves and the bride and groom.

But the times are different now. For newlyweds matched by a matchmaker, if they don’t have a full-moon banquet when they give birth to their first child, forget it. If they do, then they have to give the matchmaker a pig butt to make it complete. Finished thanking the media.

No matter how many more babies we have in the future or how many full moon parties we host, we no longer need to give pig buttocks to the matchmaker.

Of course, this kind of thing is all about human touch, so Deng Shirong, the matchmaker, had already sent a chicken and a piece of cloth to the couple before hosting the full-moon banquet at Deng Changfu's house, but he didn't take much advantage.

However, with the systematic tenfold reward, a dozen kilograms of pork butt instantly turns into a hundred kilograms, which is definitely a big profit.

…

Friday, June 23, 1981.

Early in the morning, Deng Shirong and his second son got on the bus to the county seat.

This time the father and son went to the county town mainly for two things:

1. Check the college entrance examination scores.

In this era, checking college entrance examination scores is not as easy as in later generations. You can check it casually on the Internet. Now you have to go to the county education bureau to check it.

Of course, students do not need to go to the county education bureau to check in person. Generally, the class teacher of each class comes to check. Students who want to know their college entrance examination scores can directly go back to the school and ask the class teacher.

Second, invite a theater troupe.

If he found out his college entrance examination scores and was sure that he could go to Peking University, Deng Shirong planned to go to the county theater troupe to find out how much it would cost to invite members of the county theater troupe to perform a play in Naye Village.

When it comes to drama, we have to mention other folk arts in Bobai County, such as folk songs, wooden fish, bamboo horses, unicorns, dragon and lion dances, puppet shows, acrobatics, etc.

Needless to say, folk songs are the signature of Guangxi.

During the Republic of China, folk artists in Bobai County often set up a singing stage to sing in antiphonal style, and thousands of people gathered to watch.

In the 1950s, the cultural department of Bobai County generally used folk songs to carry out extensive policy propaganda activities.

From the late 1950s to the early 1960s, folk songs were sung before every study tour or meeting.

It can be said that folk songs are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Bobai County.

Muyu is a folk art form between folk songs and allegro.

Bamboo horse and unicorn are both folk songs and dance arts in the county, which originated in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Dragon and lion dances don’t need any introduction, everyone knows it.

Puppetry was introduced to Bobai County during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and it mainly uses stick puppets.

The head and palms of the puppet are made of wood. The mouth and eyes of the puppet can move and are controlled by bamboo branches. It has a complete range of skills, rich acting skills, and is vivid and lifelike. It is a favorite of the elderly and children.

Acrobatics is also called vigorous drama in Bobai County. Before liberation, those drug sellers who traveled around the world would first perform acrobatics and magic tricks to attract the audience before starting to sell drugs.

Among so many folk arts, Deng Shirong singled out drama, naturally for a reason.

The history of drama in Bobai County began in the Ming Dynasty. It was quite popular in the county during the Qing Dynasty. There is no doubt that this kind of show performed by real people is attractive to people. Before the movie came out, Drama is invincible.

Even if the movie comes out, the drama will still be very competitive.

After all, movies are relatively short. Unlike dramas, which can rehearse series such as "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "Xue Rengui's Conquest of the East", "Twelve Widows Conquer the West", "Luo Tong Sweeps the North", etc., a drama can be The performance lasted ten days and a half.

This kind of feeling of following a drama cannot be given by watching a movie.

Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, movies are really not as attractive as dramas.

After taking the bus for nearly three hours, Deng Shirong and his son finally arrived at the county seat of Bobai County.

Walking out of the station, well, here is a parking spot consisting of an open space and a few houses. To say the station is a complete exaggeration.

Construction of the real Bobai Bus Station did not start until December 1985, and was not completed until July 1987. It is only 1981, and it is still early to build the passenger terminal building!

Deng Shirong and his second son walked out of the parking spot and began to look at the surrounding environment. Then they discovered that the county town of this era could really be described as "desolate" compared to the prosperous scene of later generations.

In his previous life, Deng Shirong's third son had worked here in the county for more than ten or twenty years, so he had lived here for a period of time and was deeply impressed by the main buildings and bustling streets of the county.

For example, diagonally opposite the station is now a vegetable field, but in later generations the Baozhongbao Group built a twenty-story building that integrated hotels, cinemas, shopping malls, supermarkets and other projects, making it the most prosperous place in the county. The shopping mall has not encountered any decent competitors for more than ten years.

It wasn't until the county expanded, vigorously developed Jinxiu East Road, and built a large commercial plaza that it had the strength to compete with Baozhongbao.

Seeing this treasure land, Deng Shirong had a plan in mind. When his eldest son got out of the cylinder tile factory, he could put his plan on the agenda.

After returning from rebirth, Deng Shirong planned a path to wealth for his eldest son, which was to let him run a chain of supermarkets.

At present, Chinese people do not have the concept of self-selected supermarkets. Deng Shirong believes that as long as he is the first to eat crabs, he will definitely make a lot of money.

Anyway, Deng Shirong doesn't have much ambition. He wants to compete with giants like Wal-Mart. He doesn't expect his eldest son to open supermarket chains all over the country or even abroad, but he only wants to become one of the supermarket chain giants in the province, which is enough.

Just when Deng Shirong was distracted looking at the treasure land diagonally opposite the station, Deng Yunheng saw the bustling traffic in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Dad, you see this county is different from our countryside. There are so many cars coming and going. ah!"

Deng Shirong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but there were indeed a lot of cars coming and going. About one or two motor vehicles passed by every minute, and there were about 20 bicycles. This was indeed a rare and prosperous scene for rural areas. .

Deng Shirong said with emotion: "Nowadays, bicycles are still the main vehicle. It doesn't matter. With the current development speed of our country, I believe that in another 20 to 30 years, the people coming and going will no longer be bicycles but cars!"

Deng Yunheng was shocked when he heard this and said in disbelief: "Dad, what you said is too exaggerated. There are only cars coming and going? How is this possible!"

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Deng Shirong would never have imagined that the country would develop so rapidly. He said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, wait until you come back here in ten or eight years and you will know."

Although Deng Yunheng felt that this kind of thing was impossible to happen, but seeing his admired father speaking so confidently, he made a mental note of it.
