Return to 1980: A Second Chance at Happiness

Deng Shirong was reborn, waking up in the summer of 1980.

In his past life, he had foolishly trusted a matchmaker’s words, only to see his children’s marriages turn into disasters. His tw...

Chapter 178 This is a network of connections that others can’t even ask for.

Five days later.

Deng Shirong and his son arrived at BJ Station with dejected looks and got on the Peking University school bus.

At this time, there were already several people sitting in the school bus, all of whom were Peking University’s freshmen and their parents.

After Deng Shirong and his son got on the car, everyone greeted each other and then fell silent.

Those parents were obviously genuine farmers. When they saw Deng Yunheng getting on the bus with valuable items such as a watch and a suitcase, and that Deng Shirong's temperament was different from that of an ordinary farmer and was similar to that of a big leader of their commune, they subconsciously thought that Deng Shirong was a leading cadre, so they all behaved rather reservedly.

Deng Shirong didn't have the energy to talk to them. The experience of four days and three nights on the green train was really too torturous.

In later times, the high-speed train from Nanning to BJ can reach the destination in less than thirteen hours, but now the train speed is touching. It took four days and three nights to sit for such a long time, which is very unbearable even if you sleep in a soft sleeper, let alone just a seat ticket.

In other words, Deng Shirong and his son were both in good physical condition. If the author had the same physical condition, he would probably have to be carried out of the station.

It’s not that Deng Shirong was reluctant to buy a sleeper berth, but in this era, even if you were rich, you couldn’t buy a sleeper berth ticket whenever you wanted.

After Deng Shirong and his son got on the bus, the school bus was full and started back to school.

On the way back to school, the school bus passed Tiananmen Square, Xidan, Fuxingmen, Xizhimen, and Baiyi Road at lightning speed. Rows of locust trees flashed past the windows, and teams of bicycles flowed by, allowing Deng Yunheng and the rural teenagers in the car to feel the prosperity of the great capital for the first time.

Everyone, including the parents, was shocked.

Before, when Deng Yunheng went to the county town with his father for the first time, he felt that the county town was already prosperous enough.

This time when I came to report to the school, when I arrived in Nanning, I felt that Nanning was worthy of being the capital of a province and was much more prosperous than Bobai County.

But whether it is Bobai or Nanning, comparing them with the capital is like comparing the light of a firefly with the bright moon. The two are completely not on the same level. The gap is as big as comparing Naye Village with Nanning.

Not to mention others, even Deng Shirong was staring at him intently.

Although he has lived two lives as a human being, this is his first time to visit Beijing.

The capital city did not disappoint him. Even though it did not have the skyscrapers like those in later generations, Deng Shirong still felt its grandeur.

After arriving at Peking University, Deng Yunheng and the other rural teenagers were very excited when they saw the quaint gate tower. For the next four years or even longer, they would study in this prestigious university with a long history.

Because the official registration day had not yet arrived, the reception teacher only arranged a temporary accommodation for Deng Yunheng and other students, including arrangements for the accompanying parents. It can be said that this was very thoughtful.

After sitting on the train for several days and nights, they were exhausted from the long journey, with neither good food nor good sleep. Now that they had a temporary place to stay, Deng Shirong and his son simply went out to eat a bowl of wontons, and then came back to take a shower and sleep.

It was a rare opportunity to visit the capital, so Deng Shirong certainly would not rush back after sending his second son to school. There was nothing to do at home anyway, so he might as well stay and have fun for a few days, and inspect the courtyard houses here. He planned to buy a few houses when he had money.

Although Deng Shirong only wanted to stay in his hometown to retire after his rebirth and did not have the ambition to enter the business world, but faced with such wealth that could be picked up at random, he naturally did not mind taking some time to pick it up.

So, Deng Shirong went out early and came back late, and after several days, he finally figured out the approximate price of a courtyard house. The result was undoubtedly gratifying. A courtyard house that was worth one or even several small targets in later generations can now be bought for only tens of thousands of dollars.

If it is the most basic one entering the courtyard, then the RMB unit behind it will not be ten thousand but one thousand.

In short, the price is quite cheap. He will come and buy a few houses when he has more money. Even if his seven children are hopeless, these courtyard houses will ensure that they live a rich life.

During these few days, Deng Yunheng successfully completed the new student registration and made several new friends from different provinces.

After finishing his business, there was no point in traveling alone, so Deng Shirong thought about going home.

Before leaving, Deng Shirong took out a thick stack of money and handed it to his second son, saying, "Here is 500 yuan, which is your living expenses for a year."

Deng Yunheng took the money and asked in surprise, "Dad, why are you giving me a year's living expenses all at once?"

"The original plan was to give you one semester's living expenses, and then give you the living expenses for the next semester when you come back for the New Year, but this experience of taking the train to send you to school has made me change my mind."

Thinking of the experience of those days and nights on the train, Deng Shirong sighed: "There are so many people on normal days, and if it is the Spring Festival, the train will be even more crowded. It is extremely difficult to go to the toilet, and if you go back alone, there will be no one to help you look after your luggage.

So I thought about it, you should just not go back and forth during the Spring Festival this year, if you want to go home, just wait until next summer vacation to go back!"

He had a bad meal and sleep on the train, and he couldn't take a shower for several days. There were all kinds of strange smells in the carriage. Deng Yunheng felt a little nauseous when he recalled the experience. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back next summer vacation."

Deng Shirong said: "You must hide this money well. As the saying goes, money should not be shown to the naked eye. Whether you are outside or in front of your classmates, you must pay more attention to this point. Never use money to test human nature.

Of course, then again, you don't need to be too nervous. After all, this is Peking University, and safety is guaranteed. Those who can be admitted to Peking University have a bright future, and people are not so short-sighted.

As long as you pay a little attention and don't expose the fact that you have so much cash, basically no one will have any bad intentions."

Deng Yunheng nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I will pay attention to it."

"Then you should stay here and study hard. Under the premise of ensuring that it does not affect your studies, try to make as many like-minded friends as possible."

Deng Shirong said earnestly: "Because those who can be admitted to Peking University are truly the chosen ones, and their future prospects are limitless. When you enter the society in the future, these classmates and friends will be the connections that others can't even ask for.

Whether you plan to go into politics or business in the future, if you use these connections well, they can bring you great help.”

Deng Yunheng listened thoughtfully. He has not yet entered society and does not fully understand the importance of personal connections, but he also feels that what his father said makes a lot of sense.

It seems that I can't be idle during the four years in college and I need to make more good friends.
