Return to 1980 and be a matchmaker

The twenty-fourth day of the fifth month of the Gengshen year.

The last collective harvesting of crops by the Naye production team officially kicked off.

Deng Shirong did not escape. He took his three older children, Yuntai, Yunzhen, and Yunheng, to join the production team's crop-cutting army with great enthusiasm.

Because everyone knows that after the crops are harvested, they will start to divide the fields and work alone. Therefore, there are almost no laborers in the harvest this time. Everyone works very hard, hoping to get the fields as soon as possible and then work on their own.

With the concerted efforts of all the members, it only took a week to cut all the crops and harvest the grains of the production team. Next, they only need to be dried in the sun before they can be divided.

This week, Deng Shirong had a very fulfilling life. Although he was tired from working every day, he had not seen this kind of collective work for decades, and it was quite nostalgic.

Now that I've rewatched it, I feel pretty good.

After harvesting the crops, under the leadership of the brigade cadres, the leadership teams of each production team began to divide the fields.

Fields have been the lifeblood of farmers since ancient times. It is impossible to distribute the fields to everyone's satisfaction.

What the cadres of the production team can do is to divide the fields as fairly as possible, at least there will not seem to be any obvious gaps.

And this process will definitely take a lot of time.

……

Longtan Commune is one of the top three large communes in Bobai County.

Shuangwang Territory was placed under the jurisdiction of Longtan Commune in June 1961, so the territories of both sides are completely connected.

On this day, Deng Changfu rode the [-] big bar borrowed from the production team and drove Guan Yongying towards Longtanwei with excitement on his face.

Originally, Deng Changfu wanted Guan Yongying to sit across the horizontal bar in front of him, but this posture was too ambiguous. Even though the two had already seen the house and the marriage had basically been decided, Guan Yongying was still shy and refused. promise.

It is about [-] kilometers from Sham Shui Tin Village to Longtan Wei. Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying set off at around nine o'clock in the morning and arrived at Longtan Wei near eleven o'clock.

There are two main reasons why it takes so long:

First, the roads in this era are not easy to drive, especially the mountain road from Sham Shui Tam Village to Tam Lin. It is steep and winding, so the riding speed is naturally difficult.

Second, this is the first date between Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying. Deng Changfu is not the kind of fool who only knows how to bury his head in the road, but chats with Guan Yongying all the way.

After arriving at Longtanwei, Deng Changfu held his bicycle and said, "Yongying, let's go to the tailor shop first, order the clothes, and then find a place to eat. What do you think?"

Among the requirements put forward by the woman's family, in addition to wealth, grain, and a sewing machine, there is also a condition that they must make six sets of clothes for the woman.

Deng Changfu brought his official Yongying to Longtanwei today just to fulfill this condition.

In this era, due to the lack of food and clothing, when a man and a woman discussed marriage, the conditions proposed by the woman's family would include hundreds of kilograms of grain and several sets of new clothes.

There are demanding women who even stipulate that the man must take the woman to the neighboring town of Changshan in Guangdong to make new clothes, because this place is famous for making clothes.

People like Guan Yongying who don't pay attention to place when making new clothes are already very good.

Hearing Deng Changfu's arrangement, Guan Yongying nodded and said: "Well, just watch the arrangement."

Longtan is indeed a large commune. The area of ​​Longtan Fair is nearly ten times larger than that of Shuangwang Fair. Even if it is not a fair day, there are still many people doing business.

Soon, Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying found a tailor shop.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about choosing the fabric size and the like. By the time everything was settled and the two of them came out of the tailor shop, it was already noon.

"Yongying, I'm hungry. Let's go eat first. What do you want to eat?" Deng Changfu asked.

Guan Yongying was afraid that he would get mad and take her to a state-owned restaurant for dinner, so he quickly said: "Don't waste money, let's just cook a bowl of noodles and eat it. There are still a lot of things you need to spend money on next!"

The current situation is different from when we met in the past. We have already visited the house. Unless there are special circumstances, the two of us will definitely get married. We can naturally save money as much as possible.

"Yongying, you are really a good housekeeper." Deng Changfu first praised, and then said with a smile: "Okay, then I will listen to you, let's go and eat rice noodles."

In later generations, Guangxi was the country's number one rice noodle-eating province. This number one title did not appear out of thin air. In this day and age, rice noodles are already deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Whether it is Shuangwangwei or Longtanwei, there are many noodle stalls.

The price of rice noodles in townships, whether now or in future generations, is the most down-to-earth.

Moreover, the price of rice noodles is not fixed. Customers can cook it as much as they want. For example, right now, a bowl of rice noodles costing two to three cents can be cooked, and a bowl of rice noodles costing four to five cents can also be cooked. The only difference is that the price of rice noodles is not fixed. It just depends on how much meat is put on top of the noodles.

It was the first time I went on a date with my partner, and I was already very frugal about eating rice noodles. Naturally, Deng Changfu couldn't order a bowl of rice noodles for two or three cents, but asked the noodle stall owner to cook two bowls of rice noodles for three cents.

A bowl of rice noodles costs only [-] cents. Not only is the portion generous, but it is also topped with a lot of lean pork liver, which can be said to be extremely affordable.

After eating a large bowl of powder, both of them felt extremely satisfied.

Since today was not a fair day, Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying had no intention of shopping. After eating and taking a short rest, they started to go home.

When he returned to Mangtou Leader, Deng Changfu pushed his bicycle up the hill and looked at Guan Yongying, who was getting more and more beautiful by his side. He asked expectantly: "Yongying, now the cadres of each production team have started to We are busy with dividing the fields, why don’t we go register in two days?”

After looking at the house, Guan Yongying actually expected that such a day would come, but she did not expect that it would happen so quickly. If she followed the normal marriage process, she would definitely not agree so quickly.

However, their marriage was related to their land, so Guan Yongying couldn't refuse, so he lowered his head shyly and said softly "Yeah".

Deng Changfu was overjoyed when he saw her agree. Even though he knew that this girl would be his wife sooner or later, as an energetic young man, he certainly hoped that this day would come sooner.

"Yongying, the day after tomorrow is Songshanwei. How about we go to Songshan Commune to register the day after tomorrow?" Deng Changfu asked while holding back his excitement.

Seeing his excited expression, Guan Yongying felt nervous but also faintly happy. She bit her lip and said "Yeah" again.

"Great!"

Deng Changfu was so happy that he reached out and patted the bicycle, then grinned at Guan Yongying and said, "Don't worry, Yongying, I will be good to you all my life."

Seeing his silly look, Guan Yongying couldn't help but laugh.

After getting in the car, I replied to him: "I believe you!"
