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 426 Deng Yunheng: I’m only a sophomore, and my family has already paved the way for me

New Year’s Eve.

It’s still the same old routine. Cook the rice first, then cook a whole piece of pork and a whole chicken, and then offer them to Grandpa.

After offering sacrifices to his great-grandfather, Deng Shirong prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes.

Compared with last year, this year there are two fewer people celebrating the New Year as the youngest daughter got married and the second daughter-in-law stayed in Fujian and did not come back.

Fortunately, having more children is good. Even though the two daughters are married and the two sons have not come back for the New Year, there are still three sons to accompany Deng Shirong to celebrate the New Year in his hometown. This is already more than many families in later generations.

In previous years, on New Year’s Eve, when the family gathered together, Deng Shirong would ask them to report their achievements in the year, and this year was no exception.

When they started eating, Deng Shirong looked at his eldest son and said, "Yuntai, tell me about your harvest this year!"

Deng Yuntai nodded and said in high spirits, "This year's harvest is very great. We have added eight chain supermarkets. Due to proper management and the continued expansion of the chain supermarkets, our operating costs have been further reduced, and the total profit has exceeded 13 million."

Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng were both shocked to hear this. When their eldest brother made the summary last year, the total profit of the supermarket chain was 6 million. Only one year later, the total profit has exceeded 13 million, more than doubling. The development speed is really amazing.

Especially Deng Yunhua, he is also a businessman. Although his home appliance city business is very good, the profit is only a few hundred thousand a year. Compared with his elder brother's development speed of one step a year, it is really far behind.

Deng Shirong said approvingly: "Very good, but you are still conservative. Now that the management system of your chain supermarket has been perfected, the expansion speed can be faster. This era is the best time to develop chain supermarkets. Before foreign chain supermarket giants enter our country, you must quickly develop chain supermarkets.

In a few years, when those foreign supermarket chains enter our country, you will have strong competitors, and then there will not be such good conditions for development. "

Deng Yuntai was surprised and asked, "Dad, will those foreign supermarket chain giants enter our country?"

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "my country has been reforming and opening up for more than a decade. This is a supermarket with more than one billion people. It is absolutely impossible for those foreign supermarket chain giants to give up such a big piece of fat meat. Sooner or later, they will enter my country to make money.

And I infer that it should have happened in the past few years.

Therefore, before those chain supermarket giants enter our country, you have to speed up your development and make your chain supermarkets bigger and stronger as quickly as possible. Only then will you be qualified to compete with those giants when they enter our market.

Of course, if you only want to dominate in Guangxi, or Guangdong and Guangxi, then you just need to deeply cultivate the Guangdong and Guangxi markets.

But if you want your supermarket chain to spread across the country and become a well-known domestic supermarket chain giant, you must be prepared to compete with foreign giants. "

Deng Yuntai looked a little solemn when he heard this. He is the owner of the largest supermarket chain in the country and knows more about chain supermarkets than most people. He is naturally aware that there are many extremely powerful chain supermarket giants abroad. If these giants really want to enter the Chinese market, they will indeed be very terrifying opponents.

With the current size of Yongjia chain supermarket, it is not even worth mentioning in front of those foreign giants, and its turnover is probably not even a fraction of theirs.

Thinking of this, Deng Yuntai had an idea in his mind and said, "Dad, I understand. After the New Year, I will give orders. Our goal next year is to increase the number of chain supermarket branches to at least 50.

Among them, 10 in Guangxi should be enough, and the remaining 40 should be invested in Guangdong. We should occupy the markets in Guangdong and Guangxi first, and then develop in other provinces and cities. "

Deng Shirong said: "You can do whatever you want. I can't teach you anything. Anyway, the most important thing for a supermarket is to manage well and reduce costs. The top students that Yunheng introduced to you are good at management. Just listen to their advice.

In addition to large-scale procurement to reduce purchase costs, there are many other ways to reduce costs, and it is up to you to discover them yourself.”

Deng Yuntai nodded and said, "I understand."

Deng Shirong then looked at his fourth son and said, "Xiaohua, the profits of your home appliance mall should not have changed much, right?"

Deng Yunhua said: "There is not much change. The profit has increased by more than 30,000 yuan compared to last year."

Deng Shirong looked at his youngest son and said, "Xiaoheng, you also know about the village hospital. Next, study hard in school. When you graduate with a doctorate, you can return to work in the village hospital. Then you can let the experts guide you personally and provide you with the best platform."

Deng Yunheng said excitedly: "I know, Dad."

After all, being able to return to your hometown and do a job you like is what many people dream of, and he can do it easily. He is only a sophomore, and his family has already provided him with the best platform.

If I told this to my classmates, they would probably be envious to death.

Of course, there were not as many medical students in this era as in later generations. Students from Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences were sought after by many hospitals after graduation.

Unlike later generations, due to the large number of medical students, it was extremely difficult for undergraduates to enter a Grade A hospital. At least one had to be a master or even a doctoral student to be eligible.

Deng Shirong looked at his eldest granddaughter and said, "Xiao Dong'er, it's your turn to summarize."

Xiao Dong'er said confidently, "This year, I have secured first place in both the midterm and final exams. Next year, I will continue to work hard to maintain or even expand my lead, and strive to ensure that no one can surpass me in grades before I graduate from elementary school."

Deng Shirong smiled and gave a thumbs up, praising: "You have great ambition."

Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping also smiled until their eyes narrowed when they heard this. They both had average reading talent, but they didn't expect to have a daughter who was so good at reading. God really had mercy on them! However, just when they were happy, Dongzi, who gave them a headache, jumped out.

Dongzi patted his chest and said proudly, "Grandpa, I did very well this year. I was in the top 20 in the class in both final exams."

That little expression, almost said he was going to praise me! Deng Shirong no longer had any hope for his eldest grandson's studies. For a person without expectations, the requirements would naturally be much more tolerant. He smiled and praised: "Yes, our Dongzi's performance this year is indeed good. I hope you can keep up the good work next year and maintain this ranking."

Hearing his grandfather's praise, Dongzi was so proud that his tail almost rose to the sky, and said proudly: "Next semester, I will continue to make progress."

Zhang Xiuping couldn't help but remind him, "Dongzi, your final exam results this semester have regressed a bit compared to last semester. I don't expect you to improve next semester, but it will be good enough if you can maintain your current grades!"

Xiao Dong'er also reminded: "Dongzi, you just met grandpa's requirements this semester. If you don't work hard next semester and can't get into the top 20 in the class, then you can stay at home and watch your sister go on a trip!"

Dongzi was reminded by her mother and sister one after another, and realized that her grades were not that good. She said with a guilty conscience: "I will definitely improve next semester."

Deng Shirong was in a better mood. He smiled and raised his glass, saying, "Come on, let's toast together. I wish Dongzi good academic progress and better grades than this semester."

Everyone raised their glasses and smiled, wishing Dongzi the best.

When Dongzi finished the Jianlibao in the cup, he felt a little pressure at such a young age. He hoped that he could get better grades in the next semester.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

There are still many clansmen who come to Deng Shirong's house to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

The Spring Festival Gala in the 1990s was indeed very exciting and everyone enjoyed watching it.

As it approached midnight, the tribesmen hurried home to prepare to set off fireworks with their families.

Deng Shirong's family naturally prepared a large number of fireworks. At midnight, Deng Yunheng lit the fireworks on time.

At the same time, every household in Naye Deng family lit fireworks and firecrackers one after another.

Even across the country, fireworks were lit at this moment.

Thus, the annual fireworks feast began in the motherland.

Looking at the brilliant fireworks exploding in the sky, Deng Shirong knew that starting from this year, my country's development would accelerate again. As a bridgehead for reform and opening up, Guangdong would gather migrant workers from all over the country to make a living.

From Bobai County, hundreds of thousands of young men and women will go to Guangdong to work.

At this moment, according to his lunar age, Deng Shirong is already fifty-seven years old.

My sixtieth birthday is not far away.

New Year's Day.

Guangzhou.

In the afternoon, Deng Yunzhu and Zhou Haidong took their luggage and gifts and boarded a bus to Bobai County.

Tomorrow is the second day of the Chinese New Year, a day when people in the entire Bobai County visit relatives on a large scale. They are really far away, and if they set out tomorrow, it would probably be the third day of the Chinese New Year by the time they arrive at Naye Village.

Therefore, the couple did not wait until tomorrow to go out, but chose to set off today, so that they could arrive in Bobai County in the evening, rest in the county town for one night, and then take a bus back to Naye Village the next day. The time was just right.

At around 1:00 a.m., Deng Yunzhu and Zhou Haidong arrived at Bobai Bus Station.

The two walked out of the station carrying their luggage and gifts.

The number of street lights in this era cannot be compared with that of later generations. Standing at the station entrance and looking out, there are only some dim lights and no night view.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot, let's go!"

"Azhu, how far is it from here to the Naye Deng community you mentioned?"

"It's not far away. It's right next to it."

Naye Dengshi Community is right next to the bus station. After walking about a hundred meters, the two arrived at the south gate of the community.

Then, entering from the south gate, Zhou Haidong felt as if his eyes had been opened up along the way.

In fact, when it comes to residential communities, Zhou Haidong is not unfamiliar with it, because the first commercial housing residential community in the country is the Donghu New Village community in Guangzhou. The construction of that residential community started in 1979, at the beginning of the reform and opening up.

In the environment at that time, it was not easy to build this residential community.

In order to resolve this issue at that time, we had to go through five stages. Finally, it was Mr. Ye who stepped in and made it possible for the residential community to be built smoothly.

With the successful example of the first residential community, the development of commercial housing in Guangzhou got on the right track and one community after another was opened.

However, the residential quarters of this era, no matter from which aspect, cannot compare with the mature quarters of later generations with complete supporting facilities and exquisite greening.

This Naye Deng’s Community is undoubtedly a representative of the mature communities of later generations. After Zhou Haidong entered the community, he felt a great difference.

While admiring the greenery in the community, he exclaimed: "Oh my God, the residential area built by your entire family is so beautiful?"

Deng Yunzhu smiled and said, "Didn't expect that?"

Zhou Haidong nodded and said, "I really didn't expect that the residential area in Guangzhou is far inferior to your community."

Deng Yunzhu said proudly: "The construction of this community is completely my father's idea. When the community was built, it caused a huge sensation in the whole county. Countless people rushed to the county town just to see the real appearance of our community."

Zhou Haidong praised him endlessly, "Our dad is really amazing. It is normal for such a community to cause a sensation in the whole county. Even if it were in Guangzhou, it would probably cause a sensation. It is really beautiful."

As they were talking, the couple had already reached the 9th building.

When going upstairs, Deng Yunzhu introduced: "The first floor belongs to my eldest brother, the second floor belongs to my eldest sister, the third floor belongs to my second brother, the fourth floor belongs to me, the fifth floor belongs to Xiaosong, the sixth floor belongs to Xiaohua, and the top floor belongs to Xiaoheng."

Zhou Haidong heard from his wife that their family had a house in the Ye Deng community. He did not ask much and subconsciously thought it was just one house. But now he knows that it is not just one house, but one house for each of the seven brothers and sisters.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although it was a bit unexpected, Zhou Haidong was not surprised. After all, with the financial resources of his wife's family, it was normal for seven brothers and sisters to have a house each.

However, when Deng Yunzhu opened the door to the fourth floor and the lights came on, Zhou Haidong was stunned again when he saw the scene inside the house.

It is not surprising that seven brothers and sisters each have a house, but the area of ​​one house is as high as 640 square meters, which is really hard to remain calm.

Fortunately, after being shocked by the luxury houses in Nanning Wuyue Square, Zhou Haidong's ability to withstand shock has greatly improved, so he quickly came to his senses and began to appreciate this combination of Chinese and Western decoration styles.

Deng Yunzhu couldn't help but smile when she saw this, "Okay, it's getting late, hurry up and take a shower and go to bed. If you want to watch it, you can watch it slowly tomorrow."

Zhou Haidong smiled and said, "That's fine, let's see tomorrow."

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning.

The young couple got up early, washed up, took their luggage and gifts, went out for a quick breakfast, and then got on the bus to Naye Village.

at the same time.

Shanxin Village, Songwang Town.

After breakfast, Deng Yunzhen prepared to go back to her parents' home to visit relatives.

Then, Mrs. Zhu helped to bring the gift to the door. Seeing this, Deng Yunzhen quickly took the gift from her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, you are not in good health, I will do it!"

Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "It's just a little hairpin, it won't be a problem."

She had not been in good health for several years, which was the main reason why her son chose to retire from the army. However, in recent years, perhaps because she was in a good mood and had hired a famous old Chinese doctor to help her regulate her body, her health has become slightly healthier than a few years ago.

Deng Yunzhen said, "You still have to be more careful. I'm going back to my mother's house for a few days. You and dad should take care of your health. If there's anything, tell Awang and the others to do it."

Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "I know. Don't worry. Go back and give our regards to your father."

Deng Yunzhen nodded and smiled: "Okay."

At this time, Zhu Junjie had tied all the gifts to the motorcycle, and then said to his parents: "Dad, Mom, let's set off first."

Old Man Zhu, who was sitting in the corner smoking, hummed, and Old Lady Zhu warned, "Ajie, drive slower and be careful."

Allen Chu nodded and said, “I know, Mom.”

Zhu Shiba was jumping up and down at this time, shouting happily: "Let's go to grandpa's house!"

Deng Yunzhen carried him into the car, said hello to her parents-in-law, and the family of three rode the motorcycle towards Naye Village.

The reason why they ride a motorcycle instead of driving a car is not because their family cannot afford a car, nor is it that Deng Shirong does not love his eldest daughter and is unwilling to buy her a car. The main reason is that Zhu Junjie's position is taken into consideration. A county leader driving a car worth two hundred thousand yuan, even if it is reasonable and legal, has to pay attention to the impact.

The weather is cold now, and it is still very uncomfortable to ride a motorcycle in the wind.

Shuangwang Township and Songwang Town used to be the same township, but were later divided into two townships. The straight-line distance from Shanxin Village to Naye Village is not far, but the road makes a big detour, which makes it seem a bit far.

Zhu Junjie and his family of three rode a motorcycle and it took more than half an hour to reach his father-in-law's house.

An hour and a half later, Deng Yunzhu and Zhou Haidong also arrived.

At the same time, A Liumei from Ma Village also returned to her parents' home in Naqing Village with her husband and children.

After greeting her parents, Ah Liumei asked, "Dad, are Uncle Seven and Aunt Seven coming back to celebrate the New Year this year?"

Father Liu replied, "Yes, I came back on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year."

Liu Mei said, "Then I'll go see them and talk to them about something."

Father Liu asked, "What are you talking about?"

Liu Mei looked at her husband and said, "A Ping, I'm going to go see Uncle Qi. You come and talk to Dad."

As she spoke, she picked out a gift that she had prepared long ago and walked towards her seventh uncle's house.

When I arrived at my seventh uncle's house, I saw him and his aunt warming themselves by the fire at the door. There were also many neighbors from the village there, so Liumei greeted them one by one.

Naqing Village is a village adjacent to Bangjie Village. They have all witnessed the development of Naye Deng's family in recent years. And because A Liumei married a man from Naye Deng's family, who has become richer and richer in recent years, her influence on her mother's side has naturally become greater and greater.

Seeing her return to her parents' home, the neighbors greeted her warmly.

Aunt Liu Qi came forward and took the gift from her niece, smiling and saying, "Just now I told your uncle Qi that you should be here soon. Where are your Ah Ping and the children?"

Ah Liumei smiled and said, "We just arrived too. He and the kids must have come to talk to my parents. I heard that Uncle Seven and Aunt Seven were back, so I came straight to see you without even sitting down."

Aunt Liu Qi smiled even brighter when she heard this, and said, "It's quite cold, come and sit down by the fire."

Ah Liumei responded, then sat down next to Uncle Qi and asked, "Uncle Qi, how many days can you stay at home this time?"

Uncle Liu Qi smiled and said, "We will be returning to Wuzhou on the sixth day of the first lunar month."

Liu Mei said, "Uncle Qi, you are so busy with your work that you rarely come back once a year, and every time you come back you are always in a hurry."

Uncle Liu Qi said, "I can't help it. Hospital work is different from other jobs because illness can happen at any time. It's a great honor for me to be back for so many days."

Ah Liumei asked, "Uncle Qi, do you want to change hospitals and work here in your hometown?"

Uncle Liu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Instead of answering, he asked, "Change to another hospital and go back to your hometown to work? What does that mean?"

Liu Mei said, "Uncle Qi, you are also aware of the development of our Naye Deng family in recent years. Last year, our clan leader planned to build a hospital in Naye Village. It is expected that the hospital will be completed next year. By then, we will need to recruit a large number of medical staff. I wonder if you are interested in working in the hospital built by our clan?"

When these words came out, Uncle Liu Qi and Aunt Liu Qi were both shocked.

It was also the first time that the neighbors heard that the Naye Deng family was going to build a hospital, and they also showed surprised expressions.

Immediately, a neighbor asked, "Sister Liu, what kind of hospital are you planning to build at Deng's?"

Uncle Liu Qi and Aunt Liu Qi also wanted to know the answer, so they looked at their niece.

Liu Mei said, "According to our clan leader, we will first build a hospital like the county people's hospital, but we will reserve enough space. If necessary in the future, we will find a way to upgrade it to a Class 3 hospital."

Uncle Liu took a deep breath when he heard this. The hospital where he currently works is a Grade 3A hospital, so he is naturally aware of the strength of Grade 3A hospitals. It is unbelievable that the Deng family actually has the ambition to build a Grade 3A hospital.

Aunt Liu Qi knew a lot about hospitals, so she was also surprised.

As for the neighbors in the village, they didn't understand the value of a Grade A hospital, but hearing that it was going to be built into a hospital like the County People's Hospital was enough to surprise them.

"This is great. If Naye Village builds this hospital, we won't have to travel so far to see a doctor if we have a headache or fever."

"Yes, in the past, if we had any illness, we had to go to other towns or counties for treatment. It was really inconvenient. If Naye Village built this hospital, not only our village, but also the whole Shuangwang would benefit."

"Who said it wasn't true? My old man is in poor health and has to go to Dongping Hospital for treatment almost every month. It would be much more convenient if he could go to Naye Village for treatment."

“…”

Although the rural people of that era did not have much knowledge, they also understood that building a large hospital in the next village would be a great joy for them. At least it would be a hundred times more convenient to see a doctor in the future.
