Chapter 386 The youngest son’s ambition is to buy a car for his son, daughter and daughter-in-

law Naye Village.

At 20:00 in the evening, the much-anticipated Spring Festival Gala officially began.

After the food company distributed dividends last year, every household in Naye Deng had at least tens of thousands of yuan in savings. A TV set worth a few hundred yuan was no longer a rare item for the clan members, and more than 70% of the households had purchased one.

However, there are still many people in the village who came to Deng Shirong's house to watch the Spring Festival Gala tonight. This has become a habit.

This year's Spring Festival Gala, Uncle Benshan took his sketch "Blind Date" to the big stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. At this moment, except for Deng Shirong, no one would have thought that in the next 21 Spring Festival Galas, this sketch actor from Tieling, Liaoning only missed one time and became the king of Chinese sketches.

What was different from before was that when it was close to midnight, the tribesmen did not stay to continue watching the Spring Festival Gala, but went home to prepare to set off fireworks and firecrackers.

Deng Shirong and his family were also ready to set off fireworks.

At midnight, countless brilliant fireworks shot up into the sky from more than 20 natural villages in Naye Dengshi, exploding in the air. The entire night sky instantly became colorful, which was really beautiful.

If someone climbs to a high place and looks down, the scene is truly breathtaking.

Setting off fireworks and firecrackers at exactly midnight is a custom not only in Bobai County, but also in the whole of Guangxi. Some people later filmed the scene of fireworks being set off in Guangxi into a short video and uploaded it to Kuaishou, which caused quite a stir!

After all, policies vary from place to place, and many provinces prohibit the use of fireworks.

The scene of unified fireworks display like that in Guangxi is not seen in all provinces.

…

The second day of the Lunar New Year.

It’s time for aunts and sisters from all over the county to visit relatives.

After breakfast, Deng Yuntai drove a large truck owned by his cousin's freight company, and took his wife and children, as well as Deng Changyuan's family and Deng Changdong's family, to visit relatives in Longtan Poxin Village.

It is about twenty kilometers from Naye Village to Poxin Village. Since the road from Shuangwangxu to Tanlian intersection is difficult to travel, it took more than an hour to reach the destination.

Deng Changyuan, Deng Changdong and others were first sent to their father-in-law's homes, and then Deng Yuntai drove to his own father-in-law's home.

When the two sides met, they greeted each other without mentioning it.

After bringing all the gifts into the house, Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping sat in front of the fire with the Zhang family to warm themselves and chat.

Xiaodong'er and Dongzi were playing with their cousins ​​at the door.

After chatting for a while, Zhang's father asked, "Yuntai, how was the supermarket business last year?"

"not bad."

Deng Yuntai smiled and asked, "Dad, is your wooden clothespin factory business going well?"

Father Zhang smiled and said, "Last year, we slightly expanded our production capacity and made more money than the year before."

Zhang Xiuping said, "Dad, that's pretty good. How's the house in Longtanxu going?"

Father Zhang said: "The main structure has been built. Once the decoration is completed, we can move in."

Zhang Xiuping said, "Dad, we can't be too sloppy about the decoration. You have seen the decoration of our house. Whether the house is beautiful or not depends entirely on the decoration. We would rather spend more money to decorate the house more beautifully so that it will be comfortable to live in."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang Dasao, Mrs. Zhang Ersao and Mrs. Zhang Sansao all secretly gave thumbs up to their sister-in-law.

They have all seen the extremely beautiful decoration of their sister-in-law's house, and they dream of living in such a beautiful house. However, it was their father-in-law who paid for the construction of the house and the decoration. No matter how it is decorated, they have no say.

Now that their sister-in-law has spoken for them, they are very happy.

After all, with their sister-in-law's current status, her words carry great weight, and the parents-in-law are willing to listen to her.

Father Zhang said, "I will try to make it more beautiful, but it certainly can't compare to your house. The investment in decorating it is too huge."

Zhang's mother replied, "As long as the decoration is better than others, it's fine. How can it be compared with my in-laws?"

Zhang Xiuping picked up the bag beside her, took out two stacks of money from it, handed them to her father and said, "Dad, this is what Brother Tai and I gave to you as a gift. You can use it to decorate the house. Don't be reluctant to spend it."

These two stacks of money amount to 20,000 yuan. Even in later times, few daughters from rural areas who married out could afford to pay so much money to honor their parents. In this era, it was even more unique.

Seeing this, Zhang's father quickly declined politely: "No, the factory's business is pretty good now, and I still have money for the renovation."

Deng Yuntai smiled and said, "Dad, take it. This is our gift to you."

Seeing that his son-in-law had spoken, Zhang's father no longer refused and took the money.

Although he didn't know how much money his daughter and son-in-law's supermarket could make in a year, he knew it must be an astronomical figure. Twenty thousand yuan was a lot of money for them, but in the eyes of his daughter and son-in-law, it was probably nothing.

Mrs. Zhang Dasao and Mrs. Zhang Ersao were both deeply moved when they saw this. They were not like Mrs. Zhang Sansao. When Mrs. Zhang Sansao married into their Zhang family, her sister-in-law's family had already been prosperous.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang II witnessed with their own eyes the rapid rise of their sister-in-law's family. When their sister-in-law first married into the Deng family, although the Deng family was one of the richest families in the village, at that time the Deng family was at most a millionaire.

But in less than ten years, the original ten thousand yuan household has become a multi-millionaire, and his assets have expanded more than a thousand times, which is a miracle.

Seeing that her father accepted the money, Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, eldest brother and his wife, second brother and his wife, Xiaojun Yafei (Zhang San's wife), Xiaoshan, my second uncle is getting married on the seventh day of next month, and you all have to come to the wedding."

Zhang's mother was excited when she heard this and asked, "Your second uncle is getting married? Where is the girl from?"

When the bride's family came to visit, Deng Shirong only invited his closest relatives to Nanning. After all, there is a layer of distance between them and his eldest daughter-in-law's family. They must be invited to the wedding banquet, but generally speaking, they are not invited to visit the house.

Therefore, the Zhang family did not know that Deng Yunheng had a girlfriend and was planning to get married.

Hearing Zhang's mother's question, Zhang's father and others looked at Zhang Xiuping curiously, waiting for her answer.

Zhang Xiuping answered her mother's question with a smile, and then couldn't help but praise: "My second uncle's girlfriend is impeccable in terms of figure, appearance, and family background. Her temperament is like that of a lady from an ancient family. She is really excellent."

Father Zhang asked, "What does the girl's family do?"

Zhang Xiuping said: "The girl's father is a high-ranking official in the province."

When these words were spoken, the Zhang family was naturally stunned.

For rural people, high-ranking officials in the province are really big shots whom they will never meet in their entire lives.

Now their daughter's brother-in-law actually found a girl with such a good family background, which was really beyond their expectations.

If that girl married, wouldn't her daughter be a sister-in-law to the daughter of a provincial official? After talking about the wedding wine, Zhang's mother took her daughters-in-law to the kitchen to work, while Zhang's father and son stayed to continue chatting with Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping.

Of course, Deng Yuntai spoke less, and it was mainly his wife who did the talking.

After some casual chatting, Zhang Xiuping told her father and brothers about the recent changes in the Naye Deng family, which made her father and brothers so confused.

…

Returning to one's parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year is a custom that has been ingrained in the bones of the Bobai people.

Therefore, even though Deng Yunzhen often saw her father and brothers and sisters, she still took her husband and children back to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Deng Shirong prepared a large table of dishes to entertain his daughter and son-in-law.

While eating, Zhu Junjie asked, "Dad, Xiaosong will graduate soon. Where does he plan to work after graduation? Has he set a goal yet?"

Deng Shirong said: "If nothing unexpected happens, he will still work in a ministry. He has not yet made a final decision on which ministry he will work for."

Zhu Junjie nodded and said, "It's good to go to the ministry. Yunheng is the best role model."

Deng Shirong said: "Working in a ministry for a year or two will not only help you get promoted quickly, but also help you accumulate important connections. When you are assigned to work in a local area in the future, you never know when these connections will come in handy. This gives you an advantage over others."

Zhu Junjie said enviously: "It's different if you are good at studying. In a department like a ministry, only top students like Yunheng and Xiaosong can get in easily. It's impossible for others to work in such a department unless they have a good background."

Deng Yunzhen glanced at her husband and said, "Needless to say, since the country resumed the college entrance examination, studying has been the only way out for us rural people. If you want to be admitted to a top university like Tsinghua University or Peking University, you have to work very hard. It is natural that you will have an advantage over others after you succeed."

Deng Shirong said with some emotion: "Speaking of studying, the seven of you brothers and sisters have all worked hard, but in the end only Yunheng and Xiaosong succeeded, and Xiaoheng is not bad now, but the four of you can't even get into the most ordinary university. The gap in talent is really big."

Deng Yunzhu said helplessly, "We really don't have a talent for studying. Spending the same amount of time studying, my second brother and Xiaosong can easily get 100 points on the test, but it's hard for us to even get a passing score. It's really discouraging."

Deng Yunhua nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Second sister is right, studying is really too difficult. The more I study, the more I feel like a fool and a pig. I heard from our high school class teacher that when my second brother has questions, the teacher will give him a little hint and he will understand them, and he can even draw inferences from one example.

And we...the teacher has already slapped the answer on our faces, and we haven't even reacted yet, how can we compete?"

When it comes to studying, Deng Yunzhu and Deng Yunhua, a pair of poor-achieving siblings, have nowhere to vent their pain. It's not that they haven't tried hard, but they have tried hard but can't see any hope. Anyone would collapse if they were in this situation.

Deng Yunheng took a sip of Jianlibao with a confident smile on his face. In front of his second and third brothers, his current grades are not very impressive, but in front of his second sister and fourth brother, he is still a top student.

Therefore, when he heard his second sister and fourth brother say this, he responded, “Didn’t Edison say that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration, but the one percent inspiration is the most important, even more important than the ninety-nine percent perspiration.

Second sister, fourth brother, you just lack this one percent of inspiration, so no matter how hard you try, your results just don’t improve, and after a long time you naturally give up.”

Deng Yunzhu glanced at her younger brother and said, "Xiao Heng, don't be so quick to laugh at us. Wait until you take the college entrance examination and get into a good university."

Deng Yunhua said, "That's right, Xiaoheng, your grades are good now, but it doesn't matter how good your grades are in normal times. Universities still value college entrance examination scores. You have to work hard in the last semester. Don't fail the exam and leave us with nothing. That would be a waste of all your efforts over the years."

Deng Yunheng laughed and said, "The current exam is the fairest exam. Except for the multiple-choice questions, you can guess the answers. For the other questions, you know the answers. If you don't know the answers, you don't know the answers. The college entrance examination is no different from the usual exams. You know the answers to the questions you know, and you can't answer the questions you don't know even if you rack your brains."

Zhu Junjie's grades were just average back then, so he forced himself to change the subject when he heard this: "Xiao Heng, what major are you going to study in college? Have you decided yet?"

Deng Yunheng said: "It's not confirmed yet!"

Zhu Junjie said: "Then you should think about it carefully, mainly think about what path you want to take after graduating from university. If you want to enter the officialdom like your second and third brothers, then consult their ideas. I believe they can give you good suggestions."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Deng Yunheng shook his head and said, "I'm not very interested in entering the officialdom."

Deng Yunzhen asked: "Xiao Heng, what industry are you interested in? Do you like doing business?"

Deng Yunheng still shook his head and said, "I'm not too interested in doing business either."

Deng Shirong originally wanted to talk to his younger son about this issue when he was about to fill out his college entrance examination application, but now that the topic had come to this, he asked, "Xiao Heng, then tell us, what do you want to do in the future?"

Deng Yunheng obviously had a plan in mind and replied, "Dad, I want to study medicine and become a doctor in the future."

Deng Shirong was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that his youngest son actually wanted to study medicine.

There is a very famous joke in later generations called "If you persuade people to study medicine, God will strike you with lightning." Although this saying contains a strong sense of sarcasm, it is definitely not groundless, but a wise saying summed up by medical predecessors.

Take Western medicine as an example: it is well known that the medical study cycle is long and the time cost is high. Generally, an undergraduate medical course lasts 5 years. If the level of study is higher, 5+3+3=11 years is the minimum. Maybe your high school classmates have achieved success in their careers and families, but you still need support from your family.

Even if you don't pursue such a high level, you still need to undergo three years of regular training after graduating from college, plus several years of residency training, to become a junior doctor with low subsidies, high pressure, and sub-health.

If you aim to become a medical doctor, it will take at least 14 years.

Also, studying medicine is much more difficult than other majors because it involves a lot of knowledge points and information.

Want to highlight the key points?

The idea is good, but patients don't get sick according to the key points.

Data from later generations on the Internet showed that the number of words in my country's four great classics is: 730,000 for "Dream of Red Mansions", 800,000 for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", 860,000 for "Journey to the West", and 960,000 for "Water Margin"; and if you randomly pick a few medical books, "Physiology" has 1.22 million words, "Biochemistry" has 1.25 million words, "Internal Medicine" has 2.48 million words, "Surgery" has 2.28 million words, and so on.

The idea of ​​"sharpening your sword before the battle, even if it's not fast enough" before the exam is totally unsuitable for medical students.

Of course, the difficulty of studying medicine is not the biggest problem. The most terrible thing is that doctors are too busy. Anyone who has a doctor friend in later generations knows how busy being a doctor is, especially young doctors who have not yet made a name for themselves. They really don’t have much free time.

Unless you become an experienced doctor and have people to command you, then it will be relatively easy.

Moreover, Deng Shirong has experienced SARS and COVID-19. When it comes to these terrible infectious diseases, medical staff are the first to bear the brunt.

Therefore, from a selfish point of view, Deng Shirong did not want his youngest son to study medicine. Firstly, it was too hard, and secondly, he was afraid that his youngest son would be infected with these two terrible infectious diseases.

However, whether in his past life or this life, Deng Shirong is considered a relatively open-minded father who will not forcibly interfere with his children's choices.

Therefore, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Xiao Heng, have you thought it through? Being a doctor is very hard. Not only do you have to spend more time and energy on studying, but once you become a doctor, you will be much busier than other professions, and you won't have much free time."

Deng Yunheng's understanding of doctors is still relatively one-sided. He just thinks that doctors look very handsome when they treat patients, and he really wants to be such a person. So when he heard his father say this, he said without hesitation: "Dad, I am not afraid of hard work, I just want to be a doctor."

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "You can be a doctor if you want, but being a small doctor who can't cure any diseases is meaningless. If you want to be a doctor, you should be a more powerful doctor. Then your goal is not to graduate with a bachelor's degree, but to graduate with a doctorate. Are you mentally prepared for this?"

Deng Yunheng said: "I have thought it through. Anyway, my family is not short of money, so there is no need for me to start working early. So I will study more and strive to get a doctorate degree."

Zhu Junjie couldn't help but praise him, "You are ambitious. Your second and third brothers only have bachelor's degrees. Even if they continue to study for a master's degree, they will only be part-time graduate students. The value is still far less. Xiaoheng, if you can get a doctorate degree, you will be the most educated person in the whole family."

Deng Yunhua looked at his younger brother who had grown up with him, gave him a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Heng, your ideal is really great."

Deng Shirong was also looking forward to this. In his previous life, none of his children was a college graduate. The one with the highest education was his third son, who graduated from a technical secondary school.

Of course, after the third son started working, he gradually upgraded his secondary technical school degree to a junior college degree, and later to a bachelor's degree, but these are all on-the-job qualifications, which are completely not on the same level as other people's formal bachelor's degrees.

In this life, the second and third sons not only got into college, but also got into the top universities, Tsinghua University and Peking University. This had already made Deng Shirong extremely satisfied. Unexpectedly, the youngest son's ambition was to study medicine and he planned to become the first doctoral student in the entire Naye Deng family.

If he could really do this, then his family would be better than 99.999% of the people in the country in terms of academic qualifications.

So Deng Shirong encouraged him: "Then you should work hard and get into a good medical university first."

…

A few years ago, the Deng family's New Year celebrations lasted only a few days, and many people started going out to work after the fourth day of the first lunar month.

Now as everyone's economic conditions are getting better and better, except for those who eat commercial grains, other members of the tribe can arrange their working time freely. Naturally, they will not rush to start work, but will spend the New Year in a relaxed manner.

It was not until the eighth day of the first lunar month, when the festive atmosphere was almost gone, that everyone started to work.

After the Chinese New Year, Deng Shirong was busy with two main things: the first was to send invitations to all relatives and friends, including all the leaders of the county government and township government, all of whom received the invitations.

As for the second son’s own leaders, colleagues, classmates, alumni, etc., they can invite them himself.

The second thing was to send someone to Shanghai to buy a car.

After all, the Deng Group is a large group with a registered capital of several hundred million yuan. It is indeed inappropriate to have no sedan as a facade. After all, whether in this era or in the future, business receptions still need to be grand.

You can't let important guests take the bus or a rickshaw when you receive them, right? Therefore, this time they sent people to Shanghai to buy cars. The Deng Group bought 6 cars, and Deng Shirong bought 4 cars personally, a total of 10 cars.

Needless to say, the brand is naturally Santana, the legendary car of this era.

Don’t underestimate this amazing car. Its price in this era is as high as 200,000 yuan, which is really not affordable for ordinary people.

The four Santanas purchased by Deng Shirong were distributed as follows: one for each of his eldest son and daughter-in-law, one for his youngest daughter, and one for his fourth son.

As for the eldest daughter, she will not be matched with a husband. After all, her eldest son-in-law is a county-level leader, and it is not suitable for her to drive a small car in such a high-profile manner.

There is no need to mention the second and third sons. As for the youngest son, he is still in school, so there is no need to rush to buy him a car.

As for driving licenses, Deng Shirong has already let his sons, daughters and daughters-in-law learn to drive, so there is no need to worry about them not being able to drive.

However, for safety reasons, Deng Shirong also provided bodyguards for his son, daughter and daughter-in-law.

The bodyguards and drivers for the eldest son and fourth son were naturally selected from the security team of Wuyue Square.

The bodyguards and drivers for the eldest daughter-in-law and youngest daughter were retired female soldiers who had excellent driving skills and were recruited separately. Such outstanding female soldiers were very rare in that era, so Deng Shirong naturally gave them extremely high salaries.

After equipping my sons, daughters and daughters-in-law with cars, the car came in handy when my second son got married. It would definitely be a very face-saving thing to use it as a wedding car.

After buying the car, Deng Shirong returned to his hometown and began to prepare for his second son's wedding.

Deng Shirong plans to make a grand ceremony for his second son's wedding.

Anyway, there are no official restrictions on weddings in this era, and making the ceremony bigger will not affect the second son's career. Besides, this is a wedding held in the village, and this era is not like the future, where you can just take a video and post it on WeChat Moments for people all over the country to see.

In the village, no matter how big the commotion is, it will only spread within a small circle.

…

PS: Dear classmates, which medical university is the best for Deng Yunheng to study? And which direction is the best for him to study? Can any knowledgeable classmates give me some advice? Thank you!

Thanks to all the relatives who gave rewards and voted for monthly tickets.
