Chapter 326 Deng Yunsong, Guangxi’s No. 1 Science Scorer
Wednesday, July 9, 1986.
Seven o'clock in the evening.
At Bobai High School, all the teachers and students of Class 1, Grade 83, are holding a graduation party.
It was the height of summer and the weather was extremely hot. Classrooms of that era had no air conditioning, let alone electric fans. With more than 60 people crowded in the classroom, you can imagine how hot it was.
However, the hot weather did not dampen the enthusiasm of the students. Tonight might be the last time the students get together. Many students from rural areas will pack their bags and go home tomorrow. It is really unknown whether we will have the chance to meet again in the future. After all, this era is not like the later generations, where everyone has WeChat and QQ, and they have set up class groups and can contact each other at any time.
To be honest, once you graduate these days, you don’t have any contact information except an address.
Once the address changes, it is normal to lose contact.
So everyone let go and had a great time. Even the shy and quiet students came out to perform. Everyone sang, played and let themselves go.
Everyone plays the game in the traditional form of passing the flower while beating the drum. Whoever holds the flower when the drum stops has to say a few words or perform a show or something.
Deng Yunsong, the class monitor and academic master, also stood up and sang a song after receiving the drum flower. He sang "Walking on the Country Road", which is one of the representative works of lyrics and music by the famous Taiwanese musician Ye Jiaxiu.
The one who accompanied him was naturally the music teacher. In order to hold a successful graduation party tonight, the teachers had tried their best and got an electronic keyboard. Although it was just a very ordinary electronic keyboard, it was a large-scale electro-acoustic instrument in this era.
The familiar accompaniment sounded, and Deng Yunsong began to sing under the attention of all the teachers and classmates:
"Walking on the country road
The old cow returning home at dusk is my companion. The blue sky matches the setting sun on my chest.
The colorful clouds are the clothes of the sunset
He holds the hoe on his shoulders
The shepherds' songs are echoing Oh-oh-oh-oh they sing
There is also a piccolo playing faintly ..."
Although Deng Yunsong had no singing talent and his singing of this catchy classic song was mediocre, he still received thunderous applause after he finished singing the song, especially from the female classmates, whose palms were so red from clapping.
In the entire class, no male student can compare with class monitor Deng Yunsong in terms of status in the hearts of female classmates.
Although Deng Yunsong is not the most handsome among the male classmates, his academic performance has always been ranked first in the grade from the time he entered school to now when he graduated. Such amazing results are really too lethal to female classmates on campus, especially in a key high school like Bogao.
You know, in this era, as long as you can get into a university, even if it is just an ordinary university, it can be equated with a bright future.
With Deng Yunsong's grades, as long as nothing unexpected happens and he performs normally in the college entrance examination, he will definitely be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University. It is normal for such a promising male student to be liked by female classmates.
Another reason was that Deng Yunsong's family background was the best in the class, and his classmates all knew that he was the son of the big boss of Suifeng Hotel.
Whether now or in the future, having a good family background is always a huge plus.
The last point is that Deng Yunsong has a very high prestige in the class. This prestige is not because he is the class monitor appointed by the teacher, but is established by intimidating Li Donghai and Zhang Wenlong, two awesome local classmates, during an evening study session in the first year of high school.
After that night, Li Donghae and Zhang Wenlong followed Deng Yunsong's lead, indirectly making Deng Yunsong the most prestigious class monitor.
With so many advantages concentrated in one person, which female student would not be confused? That is to say, high school students of this era were relatively conservative. If it were high school students in later generations, it is estimated that some female students would have taken the initiative to pursue him.
The party started at 7pm and lasted until 11pm.
This graduation party was gradually coming to an end.
The students' mood also began to become depressed, and some sentimental female students even had red eyes.
The head teacher, Chen Haining, stood up and said with great emotion: "Dear students, you will be on a long journey tomorrow, just like the rising sun in the Japanese mulberry tree. Our alma mater will always care about you, pay attention to you, and look forward to seeing you.
As you are about to embark on a new journey in life, please all of you remember this: if you don’t have the magnificence of the sea, you can have the elegance of a stream; if you don’t have the height of a mountain, you can have the twists and turns of a mountain road; if you don’t have exciting music, you can have a lyrical tune.
There will always be a time to ride on the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean.
In the long journey of life ahead, please find your own direction and be the best version of yourself. Only such a life is the most beautiful.
You are welcome to come back and visit our school often.
The graduation song has sounded and a new journey is about to begin. I wish you ride the wind and waves, sail across the vast ocean, and reach the other side of success victoriously.
Finally, all good things must come to an end. Goodbye, classmates! "
When hearing the word "goodbye", one of the female students finally couldn't help crying out loud.
This was like a signal, causing other female students to choke up and even some of the more emotional male students had red eyes.
Parting is indeed the saddest thing.
We have been together day and night for three whole years. Now that we have graduated, we will all go our separate ways. Some will continue to study, some will go back to farm, and some will go back to get married. In short, we will all be in different places and it will be very difficult for us to see each other again.
Even after this separation, some people may never see each other again in their lives.
Deng Yunsong could not bear the sad atmosphere and stood up and said, "Dear teachers and classmates, tomorrow we will all go our separate ways. Maybe some of you will be able to keep in touch in the future, but it will be very difficult for the whole class to get together like we do now.
I suggest that we make a ten-year agreement.
Ten years later, no matter where everyone here is, we will all return to our alma mater to attend our 10th anniversary reunion. Would you like to do so?"
Zhang Wenlong was the first to say, "Yes, this is a good suggestion, monitor. I will definitely not be absent from the tenth anniversary party."
Li Donghae followed closely and said, "I am willing too. Let's meet again in ten years."
"I also agree with the class monitor's proposal. You will organize a class gathering for the whole class."
“I would like to attend the class reunion.”
"I'd like to join in, too."
“…”
Deng Yunsong's proposal instantly received support from all the students.
The students who were originally in low spirits instantly cheered up. They didn’t know where they would be ten years later, or whether they would have time to keep the appointment, but that didn’t stop them from making a promise at this moment.
As for how many of the students present can fulfill this promise, only God knows.
After all the students had expressed their opinions, Deng Yunsong said, "Although everyone has left their contact addresses, it is hard to say what will happen in the future. Maybe we have lost contact with other students for one reason or another.
You all know that Suifeng Hotel is my family’s property, and there is also the Naye Deng’s Residential Community in the county town that was built last year, and my home is also there.
In the future, if any classmate loses the contact information of other classmates for various reasons, please find me in these two places. You will definitely be able to contact me.
I hope that the 58 students in our class and all the teachers present here can get together again in ten years, or even twenty, thirty, or even forty years, so that our three years of friendship will be worthwhile. "
In order to dispel the sad atmosphere, the head teacher Chen Haining joked, "Classmates, if we meet again in ten years, I will have no problem attending. But if we meet again in forty years, I am afraid I will not be able to get up from the ground and attend!"
As soon as these words came out, some students burst into laughter! "Haha, class teacher, you looked quite serious in the past three years, but I didn't expect you to be able to joke!"
"Homeroom teacher, you are only in your forties. In forty years, you will only be in your eighties. Why do you need to crawl out of the ground?"
"That's right. Although I have often secretly scolded you in the past three years, I know that you are usually strict for our own good. I still hope that you can live a long life."
“…”
Seeing all the classmates smiling, Chen Haining struck while the iron was hot and said, "Okay, classmates, let's not joke this time. Parting is for the sake of reunion. Please remember today's agreement. See you again in ten years!"
"Well, teachers and classmates, see you in ten years!"
"Okay, see you in ten years!"
"See you in ten years!"
"See you in ten years..."
At this point, the graduation party has come to an end. For the teachers and classmates present, how many of them will be able to keep the appointment ten years later? Let’s wait and see!
…
The next day at noon.
Sui Feng Hotel.
Deng Shirong is eating a sweet soup made with sweet potato chips, red beans, mung beans, peanuts and brown sugar. This is especially comfortable to eat in the summer. Most people don't use red beans, mung beans, peanuts or the like when making this. It's just sweet potato chips and brown sugar, and it tastes very good.
The finished product is as follows:
The picture of sweet potato chips is as follows:
This is sun-dried sweet potato chips. The sweet potato chips made from good sweet potatoes are very soft and sticky, have a special fragrance, and taste very good.
Deng Shirong ate two large bowls of soup in a row before he was satisfied and took his hookah to the door to smoke.
After smoking a few cigarettes, I saw my third son coming towards me.
"dad!"
Deng Yunsong greeted his father and slept very well last night. Before the college entrance examination, although there would be holidays, his heart was always tense. But now that the college entrance examination is over, it is like a huge burden has been lifted off his shoulders and he feels comfortable all over.
Deng Shirong hummed and said, "I cooked your favorite sweet potato today. Come in and eat it!"
“Okay, this is my favorite!”
Deng Yunsong responded, went in and filled a bowl of sweet potato chips and syrup, brought it to the door and ate while saying, "Dad, I've overestimated!"
Deng Shirong leaned on the pipe and asked, "How did you do in the exam?"
Deng Yunsong smiled and said, "According to the most conservative score I estimated, admission to Tsinghua University is almost certain."
"Good! Good! Good!"
Deng Shirong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He said "yes" three times in a row and said happily, "When I get the admission letter, I will hold a graduation banquet for you in the village."
He was indeed happy. He had two sons, one in Peking University and the other in Tsinghua University. If he told others about this, who wouldn't look up to him? In this era, being rich is good, but just being rich is not good enough in the eyes of some people. But if your family is not only rich, but also has two top students from Peking University and Tsinghua University, then it's different!
When Deng Yunsong saw his father's happy look, he was also happy. Although according to his usual grades, as long as he performed normally, there would be no suspense in getting into Tsinghua University or Peking University, but usual grades cannot be equated with college entrance examination scores.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Now that the rough estimated scores are out, everything is settled. I can go to the top university in the country for further studies like my second brother. No matter who it is, they will be sincerely happy about this.
Soon, Deng Shirong announced this great news in the hotel.
Although the actual results have not come out yet, since the third son said it was 90 percent certain, it means that the score he estimated is not just just enough to get into Tsinghua University. It must be quite a bit higher than that to be able to say it so confidently.
Therefore, Deng Shirong is not afraid of any accidents.
Deng Yuntai was equally delighted when he heard the news, and he kept cheering, "That's great, Yunheng went to Peking University, and Xiaosong is now in Tsinghua University. We have both Peking University and Tsinghua University. This is really a great fortune!"
Zhang Xiuping also had a big smile on her face and said happily, "Yes, it's already a big deal for other families to have an ordinary college student. Our family has produced two of the best college students from Tsinghua University and Peking University. It's really the blessing of our ancestors!"
Deng Yunzhen patted her third brother's shoulder and smiled with her eyes narrowed. Although she herself had no talents, her father and brothers were capable. Her father had given her wealth that was unimaginable to outsiders, and her second and third brothers, one from Peking University and the other from Tsinghua University, would be her greatest supports in the future.
Whether in this era or in the future, after a woman gets married, her brothers from her natal family cannot guarantee whether she will live happily in her husband's family. But if her brothers from her natal family are numerous and capable, they can definitely guarantee that she will not be bullied by anyone in her husband's family.
In Bobai, if you dare to go into the village and beat people up, no matter who is right or wrong, the villagers will unite and beat you until you doubt your life.
Because going into a village and beating people is completely bullying the people in the village. Any village that is more united will not be bullied like this. So unless the village is really weak, or you are really strong enough to suppress an entire village, don't go into a village and beat people easily.
The only exception is that if a wife in the village is bullied by her in-laws or her husband, the brothers from her natal family will dare to enter the village directly and beat her up. As long as she is not beaten to death or disabled, no one in the village will dare to come forward to help.
Therefore, whether in ancient times or modern times, brothers from the woman’s natal family are the strongest support for a married woman.
Zhang Guangzong was also full of admiration and said with great admiration: "Boss, your family is really too prosperous. Not only do you have many gods of wealth, but you even have two literary stars. If you tell others about it, people will really envy you to death."
Deng Shirong smiled so hard that the wrinkles on his face were exposed: "The child is really doing well."
It is the common wish of all parents in the world to see their children become successful. For parents, nothing can make them happier than seeing their children have a promising future.
…
After learning that his third son was successfully admitted to Tsinghua University, Deng Shirong, who had felt relieved, started to get busy again.
It takes a lot of time to grow both the jackfruit and the ground pineapple, mainly because the two fruits ripen at different times, especially the jackfruit, which has a particularly long ripening period. Even on the same tree, some fruits are ripe, but some may only be the size of a fist. The difference is too big.
Longan, on the other hand, is less troublesome. As long as they are the same variety and are planted in the same place, they will basically mature together.
After more than half a month of hard work, we completed the purchase of pineapples. The quantity was slightly less than last year, exactly 1,200 tons, and it cost 240,000 yuan.
We also purchased 360 tons of jackfruit, spending 115,200 yuan, and will definitely purchase more in the future.
Previously, after paying the construction fee for Nanning Wuyue Square, Deng Shirong had only 970,000 yuan in cash left. Fortunately, he received 216,000 yuan in dividends from the passenger transport company this year, which adds up to 1.19 million yuan.
He went to Xinguang Farm in Lingshan to purchase 500 tons of lychees, spending a total of 700,000 yuan, and only had 490,000 yuan left.
Now he has spent a total of 355,200 yuan on the ground pineapples and wooden pineapples, and he only has more than 130,000 yuan in cash left.
This money is obviously not enough to purchase longan, not to mention that we need to purchase more jackfruits later. It will not work without money.
Fortunately, Yongjia Supermarket's business has been booming. Last year, he gave his eldest son 500,000 yuan to purchase goods. With the supermarket's current cash flow, it is no problem to transfer 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, so there is no need to worry about not having money to purchase goods.
After purchasing the pineapples on the ground, he returned to the county town and waited for the college entrance examination results to come out with his third son.
The result, naturally, was no suspense. Deng Yunsong not only easily got into Tsinghua University, but also successfully won the supreme honor of being the top scorer in science in Guangxi. He was also the first student from Bobai High School to win this honor since the resumption of the college entrance examination.
If it weren't for the accident of Deng Yunsong, it would have been until the 1988 college entrance examination that a student won the top spot in the liberal arts in Guangxi.
Of course, this only refers to the period after the resumption of the college entrance examination. If we go back further, in 1958, all the top scorers in liberal arts and science in Guangxi were won by Bobai High School.
Even last year, the graduates of a class of Bobai High School created a miracle. Among the 45 students in the class, 42 were admitted to universities and technical secondary schools, including 1 student each from Peking University, Renmin University, Nanjing University, Nankai University, Sun Yat-sen University, Sichuan University, Hangzhou Business School, Shaanxi University of Finance and Economics, Shanxi University of Finance and Economics, and Guangxi Normal University.
There are 2 people each from Xiamen University, Central China Normal University, Central South University of Finance and Economics, and Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics.
There are 3 people from Guangxi Normal University, 6 people from Guangxi University, and 3 people from other technical colleges. It can be said that they are extremely awesome.
This kind of foundation cannot be compared with Songshan High School where Deng Yunheng is located.
However, no matter what, winning the honor of Guangxi's No. 1 science student is a great thing for the school, and it can add another layer of glory to the school's history, which is already impressive enough.
…
The end of the sixth lunar month.
Deng Shirong rode his motorcycle to the Shuangwang Township Provisional Government again.
"Uncle Nine!"
"Uncle Jiu, are you here to see the secretary?"
When the township government staff saw Deng Shirong, they all came out to greet him.
Deng Shirong parked the car and said with a smile, "I came here today not only to see the secretary, but also the township head and all of you. Please invite the secretary, township head and other leaders out, and I will tell you all at once."
The staff were a little surprised when they heard this. They didn't know why Deng Shirong was looking for all the leaders. However, they all knew very well the power that Uncle Jiu had. Since he said so, there must be a reason for it. So one by one, the staff went to the office to ask the leader.
Soon, a group of leaders of the township government were invited out by the staff.
After the two sides met and greeted each other, Deng Shirong went straight to the point and said with a smile on his face: "Secretary, township head, and all leaders, I came here today to invite you to my house in three days to drink my third son's college wine."
Upon hearing this, Secretary Lin immediately smiled and congratulated, "That's really a great event. Congratulations, Uncle Jiu. Now your family has two college students. It's really amazing!"
The village head also smiled and said, "Yes, congratulations, Uncle Jiu. Two college students came from your family, and one of them is from Peking University. This is the first case in Shuangwang. I wonder what university your third son was admitted to?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "The child is quite hardworking. He was admitted to Tsinghua University and ranked first in science in Guangxi this year."
As soon as these words were spoken, the secretary, the village head, and all the leaders and staff of the township government were all stunned with shock.
If they were singled out and saw such outstanding results, they would be surprised but not so shocked.
But the problem is that Deng Shirong already has a son who is studying at Peking University. They all know this. Now another son has been admitted to Tsinghua University, and he was admitted to Tsinghua University with the first place in science in Guangxi. One brother is studying at Peking University and the other is studying at Tsinghua University. Even if this situation happened in future, it would make the news. In this era, who would not be shocked?
Secretary Lin was the first to react, and said with admiration: "Uncle Jiu, when it comes to educating children, all of us present here should learn from you!"
The village head also nodded repeatedly and said, "The secretary is right. One is from Peking University and the other is from Tsinghua University. How did you train them, Uncle Jiu?"
"If my son is capable of going to a technical secondary school, I will wake up laughing in my dreams. Uncle Jiu, please teach me some experience in educating my son!"
"Who said it wasn't true? Let alone going to technical secondary school, I would be so happy if my kid could finish high school smoothly. Uncle Jiu, you are really an expert in educating children!"
"Uncle Jiu, how do you educate your children? Tell us a few words!"
"Uncle Nine..."
As the saying goes, all parents want their children to be successful. Seeing that both of Deng Shirong's sons were admitted to the top universities in the country, these township leaders who are parents began to humbly ask for advice.
Deng Shirong waved his hands and smiled, "Dear leaders, I don't have any educational experience. To be honest, my two sons were able to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University because of themselves. As a father, I didn't play a big role.
So, among my seven children, only these two have the best academic performance. For the others, it is already very good if they can successfully finish high school. "
Secretary Lin sighed when he heard this: "So, studying depends on yourself, and parents can only play a supporting role."
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Yes, as parents, we can only try our best to provide children with a good learning environment. The rest depends on their self-consciousness and talent. Learning requires perseverance. If they don't learn consciously but force them to learn, it will definitely not be of much use."
After the two sides talked about the children's education for a while, Deng Shirong invited them again: "Secretary, township head, and all the leaders, I hope you can all come over for a drink in three days."
Secretary Lin smiled and took the lead, saying, "It is our honor. We will be there in three days."
The village head and other leaders also agreed. As long as they received the news, they would show up uninvited to the university party held by Tsinghua University to celebrate the admission. Not to mention that someone personally invited them. No one would be absent from such an event.
