Chapter 472: Relieved
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Xiao Dong'er, Dongzi and Zhu Shiba took the special skates given by their grandfather and went to Abao Skating Rink together under the leadership of Deng Siyan (Ou Guohua's daughter) and Deng Siguang (Ou Guofang's son).
On the way, Xiao Dong'er asked, "Ayan, Aguang, can you skate?"
Deng Siyan said: "I have been learning since the summer vacation. I have learned it, but the technique is not good enough. I can only skate slowly. If I go too fast, I will lose control easily."
Deng Siguang continued, "I also started learning during the summer vacation. My skills are similar to Sister Yan's. I have no problem skating slowly, but not at a fast speed."
Dongzi asked, "Is this easy to learn?"
Deng Siguang said: "As long as you are not afraid of falling, you can learn it quickly. But if you want to perform tricks like those masters, you have to spend time practicing."
Xiao Dong'er asked curiously, "Who in our village is the best skater?"
Deng Siyan blurted out, "The best skater in our village is Sister Fen. I heard that she often went to the skating rink when she was in the county town. She has perfected her skills a long time ago. She can skate backwards better than most people. We are so envious of her."
Xiao Dong'er said: "Then let's see if she is here later. If she is, let her teach us."
Deng Siyan said, "Of course she is here. Since Brother Bao opened this skating rink, Sister Fen has been here most of the time."
As they talked, the powerful music became clearer and clearer.
In less than three minutes, they arrived at the Abao Skating Rink.
It has been almost a month since the A-Po Ice Rink opened. There are not as many people coming to watch as when it first opened, but because it is summer vacation, the number of people coming to the skating rink is just as much as when it first opened.
At first glance, the place was filled with people.
Those who are good at skating move freely around the field, while those who are just learning skate slowly, holding on to the railings built on the wall specifically for beginners.
There were also some "half-baked" people who were skating cautiously not far from the railings, their feet were very stiff, and they looked like they would fall at any time.
At this time, Deng Sibao was watching the scene with his mother Chen Xiaohua.
Seeing Xiao Dong'er and the others coming, Deng Sibao quickly greeted them, "Aunt Dong'er, Uncle Dongzi, you're here!"
Xiao Dong'er smiled and nodded, took out some money and handed it over, saying, "A Bao, we want to go in and have some fun."
Deng Sibao smiled and said, "Aunt Dong'er, you can come and play anytime you want. It's free."
Xiao Dong'er said: "How can that be possible? You are doing business."
Deng Sibao said with a smile on his face: "Aunt Dong'er, please don't embarrass me. Come in and play. The skates are right there. A Yan and A Guang, take them yourselves."
Seeing this, Xiao Dong'er could only helplessly take the money back. Everything was fine in the village, except that no matter whose business they patronized, no one would take their money, which made them feel embarrassed.
Soon, Xiaodong'er and the others changed into their skates.
Ice skating is easy when you watch others do it, but when you try it yourself, you will realize how difficult it is.
Especially for those who are skating for the first time, after putting on the skates, they cannot stand up at all without something to hold on to.
Fortunately, the entrance to the skating rink was designed with railings, so Xiaodong'er and the other two could hold on to the railings and slowly skate into the rink.
Because the volume in the disco was quite loud, Deng Siyan leaned close to Xiao Dong'er's ear and said, "Aunt Dong'er, I'll go call Sister Fen over to you."
Xiao Dong'er nodded and said, "Well, go ahead!"
Deng Siyan then took unskilled steps and slid into the crowd.
After about two minutes, Deng Siyan was finally pulled by Sister Fen to the front of Xiao Dong'er and the other two.
Sister Fen is a 19-year-old girl whose full name is Deng Sifen. She is the granddaughter of Deng Yungui.
She slid in front of Xiao Dong'er and greeted her loudly, "Aunt Dong'er."
Xiao Dong'er also said loudly: "I heard from A Yan that your skating skills are the best in our village. We don't know how to play yet. Can you teach the three of us?"
Dunsfen smiled and said, "No problem, I'll tell you how to escape first, and then I'll lead you one by one."
Next, we will enter the technical explanation stage.
Deng Sifen told Xiao Dong'er and the other two about his skating experience in detail, and then said, "Aunt Dong'er, I'll take you for a few laps first, so you can get a feel for it."
Xiao Dong'er nodded and said, "Okay, then what should I do?"
Dunsfin said, "I will hold your hand face to face and take you for a walk."
Xiao Dong'er responded, and let Deng Sifen hold her hand and slowly slide away with her.
"Aunt Dong'er."
"Aunt Dong'er."
“…”
After Xiao Dong'er entered the skating rink, all the tribesmen who saw her greeted her.
Since most of the people who skate are young people, most of them are Xiaodong'er's nephews and grandnieces.
Xiao Dong'er could only nod. Except for the young children who were still ignorant, almost all the other members of the Naye Deng clan knew her. After all, she was not only the eldest granddaughter of the clan leader, but also a top student who could go on stage to receive the highest scholarship every semester. Who in the clan would not know her?
However, Xiao Dong'er only knew a small number of the tribesmen. For most of them, she just looked familiar but didn't know their names.
There was someone to guide and teach ice skating, and Xiao Dong'er had a very good understanding. After Deng Sifen guided her for a few laps, she gradually mastered the tricks, and then she started skating slowly on her own.
Seeing this, Deng Sifen couldn't help but admire and said, "Aunt Dong'er, you are so smart. You learned it so quickly."
Xiao Dong'er said with a smile: "You can teach him as you go. If he still can't learn, he's too stupid. Ah Fen, you go teach Dongzi. I'll learn it slowly by myself for a while and get more familiar with it."
Deng Sifen smiled and said, "Okay, then Aunt Dong'er, be careful and don't run so fast at the beginning."
Xiao Dong'er said, "I understand."
Soon, Deng Sifen returned to the entrance and said to Dongzi, "Uncle Dongzi, it's your turn. Do you remember what I just said?"
Dongzi said a little embarrassedly: "Afen, how about you tell me again?"
Dunsfen smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you again, Eighteenth Cousin, you should listen more."
Zhu Shiba responded and pricked up his ears to listen.
After Deng Sifen finished speaking, he said to Dongzi: "Uncle Dongzi, I will take you for a few laps first, so you can get a feel for it."
Dongzi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"
So, Deng Sifen held Dongzi face to face, and taught Dongzi while he skated backwards skillfully.
When Xiao Dong'er entered the venue before, the tribesmen greeted him when they saw him. But it was different when Dongzi entered the venue. Except for the nephews and nieces in the village who greeted him, most of the tribesmen didn't know him. Even though he was the eldest grandson of the tribe leader, not many people knew him.
There is no way, because Dongzi has never been on stage to receive a scholarship! It is normal for people who are not from the nearby villages not to know Dongzi.
Although Dongzi was not good at studying, he had some talent in skating. Although he did not learn as fast as his sister, he quickly learned the tricks under the guidance of Deng Sifen and could skate slowly by himself.
Then, Deng Sifen followed the same method and brought his younger cousin Zhu Shiba back to school.
Next, the three cousins, together with Deng Siyan and Deng Siguang, had a great time on the skating rink following the dynamic rhythm of music.
They played until five in the afternoon and then went home to eat happily.
…
On July 14th, every household in Naye Village began to kill ducks to celebrate the festival.
Deng Shirong's family had many people, so killing one duck was definitely not enough, so he also killed a goose.
The meat of domestic ducks and geese raised in the countryside is first-class. Even people with average cooking skills can make a delicious dish. This shows the importance of ingredients.
In later generations, in order to eat the authentic goose meat, many people boiled the whole goose in water until it was neither tough nor mushy. Then they took out the goose, chopped it into pieces, and ate it directly with raw salt (coarse salt). The taste was also very good.
Of course, this goose must be the domestic goose raised in the countryside and raised for a long enough time.
If you use feed geese that have been raised for a shorter period of time, don't try this way of eating.
The goose that Deng Shirong killed today was very "seasoned". He did not do any unnecessary processing and just tried the later way of eating it, adding some raw salt to dip it in before eating. The meat became more delicious the more you chewed it and everyone applauded loudly.
Sure enough, what "A Bite of China" said was right, high-end ingredients often only require simple cooking methods.
After eating and drinking, the adults began to drink tea and chat.
Zhu Shiba couldn't wait to say, "Cousin, cousin, let's go ice skating!"
Now that Zhu Shiba has learned how to skate, he is most addicted to it.
People's interests are very strange. For example, when you just learn to ride a bicycle or a motorcycle, you really want to ride out for a stroll all the time. But after you become an experienced driver, you no longer have this addiction.
The same goes for men and women who taste the forbidden fruit. When they are most addicted at the beginning, they can be as crazy as they can be, with records of seven times a day. I believe many people have tried it and never get tired of it.
However, after being together for a long time and losing the novelty, you can no longer find that crazy energy.
Not to mention seven times a day, even once a day is a stretch.
Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi were also in high spirits. They nodded and said, "Let's go ice skating."
Little Shitou, who was not even three years old, was also very anxious when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Cousin, I want to go play too."
Deng Yunzhu smiled and said, "Little Stone, you are still young and cannot go to the skating rink. If you really want to learn how to skate, then mom will teach you at home."
Little Stone blinked his eyes and said, "Mom, can I learn to skate at home?"
Deng Yunzhu said: "Of course you can. We just had a full meal and need to rest for a while. Mom will teach you later."
"OK!"
Little Stone nodded with satisfaction.
When Xiaodong'er and the other two saw this, they said hello and went to the skating rink to play with their skates.
Deng Shirong was naturally not worried about this. It was very safe to play on the ice rink in the village, unlike the ice rinks outside, which were full of all kinds of people and prone to accidents.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
While drinking tea and chatting, Deng Yunzhu asked curiously, "Dad, when will this film and television city be completed?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "There are so many attractions that need to be built in this film and television city. It will take at least ten to twenty years of continuous construction to build a film and television city with great influence in the country and even the world."
Zhou Haidong exclaimed: "Dad, you are really courageous."
Fan Yuemei smiled and said, "Second sister, with this film and television city, you can consider opening a hot pot restaurant here in your hometown."
“We really need to prepare in advance!”
Deng Yunzhu nodded and asked, "Dad, do we have any suitable land?"
Deng Shirong said, "If you want to open a hot pot restaurant, you can do it in our orchard. When the fruit is ripe, if you spend a certain amount of money in the hot pot restaurant, you can eat all the fruit in the orchard. This should be attractive to those diners."
Deng Yunzhu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said excitedly, "Dad, your idea is great. Let's do it. I believe that even big stars who come to our film and television city to film will not be able to resist the temptation of picking fruits in the orchard."
Deng Shirong reminded: "You can either not open this hot pot restaurant or you have to put in the effort to make it better, because compared to other branches, this restaurant will probably receive the most celebrities in the future, so you have to pay attention to it."
Deng Yunzhu nodded and said, "I understand. I will definitely decorate this branch, especially prepare more private rooms. Those celebrities pay more attention to privacy, and it will not work without private rooms. I will also select the strongest chef team to take over this branch.
In short, I want to make this hot pot restaurant the branch with the strongest comprehensive strength."
Zhang Xiuping also reminded: "There is another problem. If this hot pot restaurant is opened, there must be a parking space at the foot of the mountain. But now the foot of the mountain is other people's fields, which is not easy to deal with!"
Deng Shirong took a sip of tea and said, "This is not difficult. I just need to say hello and exchange the land in other parts of my family with the tribesmen."
After talking about the hot pot restaurant, Deng Yuntai looked at his brother-in-law and asked, "Junjie, has the land acquisition work for the Shuangwang to Bobai highway been completed?"
Zhu Junjie nodded and said, "It has been completed. Both the county and the city attach great importance to the construction of this expressway. We strive to complete it and open it to traffic in 1997. The construction period is very tight. With the full efforts of the county leaders, the progress is very encouraging."
Deng Yunhua asked: "Once this highway is built, it will probably take about an hour to drive from Shuangwang to Bobai, right?"
Zhu Junjie smiled and said, “It won’t take an hour, it will take about 50 minutes.”
Deng Yunhua said with emotion: "If you want to be rich, you must build roads first. This is indeed true. Before the road from Tanlian Intersection to Shuangwang was built, it took at least two or three hours to get to Bobai by car. If it rained continuously and the road became muddy, the time would be further extended.
As a result, once the expressway was built, it took less than an hour to get there, and the difference was really huge.”
Deng Yuntai smiled and said, "Ordinary dirt roads or winding asphalt roads are naturally no match for highways. Once the highway from Shuangwang to Nanning is built, the round trip time will be greatly shortened. It will probably be about three hours."
Deng Shirong continued: "In fact, what I value most is the railway."
Deng Yunhua curled his lips and said, "Dad, this railway is only good for transportation. Its speed is far inferior to that of the highway. What's so great about it?"
Deng Shirong shook his head and said, "You don't understand. No matter how well the highway is built, the speed of cars can only reach over 100 kilometers per hour. It is basically impossible to increase it further because if the speed is too fast, it is easy to get into an accident.
But it is different with trains. Today’s trains are indeed slow, but there is a lot of room for improvement. In the future, it will be no problem for them to exceed the speed of a car, and it is even possible to reach two or three times the speed of a car.
By then, apart from airplanes, no other means of transportation will be faster than trains."
When these words came out, the family members were stunned.
In that era, no one except Deng Shirong, who had experienced it, could have imagined that high-speed rail technology would be born in the future and that the speed would be so fast.
Deng Yunzhen was shocked and said, "Dad, the train is two or three times faster than the car. Is this possible?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It is definitely impossible in the short term, but with the development of technology, it is hard to say in ten or twenty years."
Zhu Junjie said thoughtfully: "Dad, what you said is not without reason. I heard from the people in the railway department that they have begun to prepare to increase the speed of the railway."
Deng Shirong was not surprised to hear this. my country's railway speed-up began in 1997, so it is normal to start preparations now. He said with emotion: "I don't know if our film and television city can win a railway for Shuangwang."
In later generations, everyone will understand how awesome my country’s high-speed rail is.
Unfortunately, until Deng Shirong was reborn, he did not see the opening of the high-speed railway in Yulin. It has to be said that this is a very regrettable thing.
You should know that at that time Yulin’s population had reached 7.43 million, second only to Nanning in the entire Guangxi.
It is such a prefecture-level city with a huge population, but the time it took to open a high-speed rail is far behind those developed cities, even compared with other sister cities in Guangxi. It has to be said that this is a pain in the hearts of more than seven million Yulin people.
Of course, before Deng Shirong was reborn, the high-speed railway in Yulin was already under construction, but it had not yet been opened.
Now that he has a new life, Deng Shirong would naturally like to build a railway for his hometown if possible.
When the high-speed rail era comes, the film and television city will probably have grown to a certain scale by then. Maybe with the help of the huge influence of the film and television city, the small place of Shuangwang can be connected to the high-speed rail as soon as possible. That would be perfect.
…
evening.
After dinner, Xiaodong'er and the other two went ice skating as usual, while Deng Shirong took Xiao Shitou out for a walk.
Deng Yuntai saw this and said, "Ah Zhen, Ah Zhu, Xiao Hua, this year is Dad's 60th birthday, so we must give him a big party. Do you have any ideas about where to hold this birthday party?"
Deng Yunzhen said: "I think Dad's 60th birthday should be held here in his hometown."
Deng Yunzhu agreed, "Sister is right. I also agree to hold it in my hometown."
Deng Yuntai said: "I also agree to hold it in my hometown, but if we hold it in my hometown, what scale should we hold and what kind of guests should we invite?"
Deng Yunhua said: "If we hold it in my hometown, I guess we will have to invite everyone in the family!"
Zhang Xiuping said, "Just invite the whole family. We are not short of money anyway. This is Dad's 60th birthday, so we must have a great time."
Zhu Junjie said: "Then we need to call Yun Heng and Yun Song to see if they can come back to attend Dad's birthday party."
"I'll call them later to communicate."
Deng Yuntai smiled and said, "Originally, I was planning to discuss it with you guys and secretly give Dad a surprise, but if we really want to make it a big event, we have to tell Dad in advance. After all, such a large-scale birthday party cannot be held without advance preparation."
Deng Yunzhu smiled and said, "Brother, you can tell Dad about the birthday party in advance, but we, as children, can secretly prepare a birthday gift for Dad, which can also be considered a surprise."
Zhang Xiuping nodded and said, "Azhu, this is a good idea. Let's prepare a birthday gift each and give Dad a surprise!"
Fan Yuemei said, "Nowadays, people in the city have birthday cakes when they celebrate their birthdays. If Dad celebrates his birthday here in his hometown, should we prepare this birthday cake?"
Zhang Xiuping said, "Of course we need to prepare it. Leave it to me. I will make sure that all the guests can enjoy birthday cake on Dad's birthday."
Deng Yunhua volunteered, "Brother and sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law, second sister and brother-in-law, you are all busy with work, and I am the only one who has less time. Please let me take care of Dad's 60th birthday!"
Deng Yuntai and others all agreed when they heard this. What Deng Yunhua said was indeed true. Among the seven brothers and sisters, he was the most leisurely.
Deng Yunhua's career is now managed by his wife Fan Yuemei. He is responsible for eating, drinking and having fun every day. He lives a very carefree life!
After confirming it, Deng Yuntai called the three brothers Deng Yunheng, Deng Yunsong and Deng Yunheng one by one.
When Deng Yunheng and the others received the call and learned that they would be celebrating their father's 60th birthday, they all agreed.
When Deng Shirong came back with Little Stone, he saw his children all looking at him, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?"
Deng Yuntai said, "Dad, this is it. This year is your 60th birthday. We brothers and sisters just discussed it and decided to hold a big party for you in our hometown. We will invite all the family members and all the relatives and friends to come and attend. What do you think, Dad?"
Deng Shirong was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled with relief.
In his previous life, on his 60th birthday, his children also held a birthday party for him, but no outsiders were invited. Only his son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters were all present. At that time, his third son Deng Yunsong even bought a cake specially.
That was the most grand birthday he had ever celebrated in his previous life, and he was also the first person in the village to have cake on his birthday.
It was a birthday like this that he will remember for the rest of his life.
Now, it has been 15 years since I was reborn, and it is time to celebrate my 60th birthday again.
His children plan to invite the entire family and all relatives and friends to celebrate his birthday. For Deng Shirong, nothing could make him happier than this.
