Return to 1980 and be a matchmaker

The twenty-seventh day of the seventh lunar month.

At eight o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, Deng Shirong asked his youngest daughter to sit on the horizontal bar in front of the bicycle. Then he stepped forward with his left foot on the bicycle pedal. When the bicycle moved forward, he raised his right foot. Stepped over from the back seat.

At this time, the eldest daughter Deng Yunzhen quickly caught up and sat down on the back seat of the bicycle quite dexterously.

A large truck carrying father and daughter rushed towards Longtanwei in a hurry.

To go from Naye Village to Longtanwei, you need to pass through Shuangwangwei and ride nearly ten kilometers of winding and uneven mountain roads before you reach the county-level main road from Bobai to Longtan. You then ride more than ten kilometers to get to Longtanwei. Arrive at Longtanwei.

The county-level main road from Bobai to Longtan was built in 1956.

Deng Gong said, "If you want to get rich, build a road first." This sentence is really a wise saying. Since the road from Bobai to Longtan was built, Longtan's business has become increasingly prosperous, and the number of shops has gradually increased. In just a few years, it has A big change has come.

Originally, there were only two main streets in Longtanwei, which were shaped like a "T". One ran east-west and was about two meters wide; the other ran north-south, about two meters wide and less than 100 meters long.There are also two small streets lined with short houses and few shops.

The current Longtan Wei has widened and extended the original streets, and together with the new streets, they form a cuneiform-shaped ring-shaped main street. There are 8 large and small streets. The number of people attending the wading on each polder day is as high as 25000. Compared with the less than 1000 people attending the fair in Wangwei, the difference is really huge. The two are not on the same level at all.

When Deng Shirong and his daughter arrived at Longtanwei, although it was only after nine o'clock, it was already packed with people.

Fortunately, there are no cars in the countryside in this era, and the number of trucks and buses is also very small. One may not pass by in half an hour, and there are no motorcycles or electric cars. Except for a small number of automatic cars, nine out of ten people It's all on foot, so there won't be traffic jams like in later generations.

Sisters Deng Yunzhen and Deng Yunzhu came to Longtanwei for the first time.

Deng Yunzhen was a little better. When she sent her younger brother Deng Yunheng to school a few days ago, she had been to Songshanwei. Songshanwei was also on the county-level main road from Bobai to Longtan. Although it was so prosperous that it couldn't be helped. Compared with Longtanwei, there are more than 8000 people attending the fair on each fair day, and the fair city is not comparable to a place as big as Shuangwangwei.

Therefore, Deng Yunzhen has gained some experience and will not be shocked when she sees the more prosperous Longtanwei.

But Deng Yunzhu is different. She has only been to Shuangwangwei a few times since she was so old. She feels that there are enough people in Shuangwangwei, and there are people everywhere she goes.

As a result, she was stunned when she saw the bustling scene of Longtanwei. It was only now that she understood that there was such a big difference between Wei City and Wei City.

Seeing his little daughter's dumbfounded look, Deng Shirong was both funny and a little sad. He reached out and touched her head and said: "Among the nearby communes, Longtan Commune is indeed prosperous, but compared with big cities, it is still It's far from it. If your second brother is admitted to college next year, when I send him to school, I will take you brothers and sisters out to see the world."

Deng Yunzhu exclaimed: "Dad, are you telling the truth?"

Deng Yunzhen also had a look of surprise on her face. Going to a big city to see the world was something she had never dared to think about before. If she really had the chance to go out and see the world, she would be able to stay in the village for at least three years.

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Of course it's true, but it's up to your second brother to live up to his expectations and get into college."

After hearing this, the two sisters glanced at each other and secretly made a decision. When Yunheng (the second brother) comes back, they must let him study hard and not relax. If he is admitted to college, then they will You can go to big cities and see the world. If you can't get into college, everything will be in vain.

"Okay, don't say so much. I'll find a place to put the car first, and then I'll take a walk with you."

After Deng Shirong finished speaking, he pushed his bicycle to a certain noodle stall and parked it. He said hello to the boss and then went shopping with his two daughters in peace.

Rural people in this era were really very simple, and there was no such thing as petty theft. However, even if valuables like bicycles were left unlocked on the roadside, no one would dare to take the bicycle away.

It is a girl’s nature to love shopping. In addition, it was the first time for the Deng Yunzhen sisters to come to Longtanwei. Everything they saw was new and novel. They had to visit every street from beginning to end, even the end of the street. Pass.

Deng Shirong did not rush, and followed while observing the pedestrians coming and going. Although most of these people who came to rush to the fair were wearing patched clothes, their spirits were good, and their eyes were full of hope for the future. .

Because there were so many people, it was already an hour and a half after the father and daughter had visited all eight streets.

The weather is still relatively hot now. Deng Shirong wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve and said: "Azhen, Azhu, we are almost done shopping. Let's eat a bowl of noodles first, and then go buy cloth and some small items." Snacks and you can go home.”

Although it's not yet 11 o'clock, because I ate earlier in the morning and ate easy-to-digest white porridge, my stomach is really full after riding a bicycle for more than an hour and shopping for an hour and a half. Some are hungry.

Deng Yunzhu nodded and smiled: "Then let's go eat noodles. It's been a long time since I've had noodles. I feel greedy just thinking about it."

Although Deng Yunzhen just had a bowl of rice noodles in Songshanwei a few days ago, the rice noodles taste really good. Even if she eats them every day, she won't get tired of them. Now that she hasn't eaten them for a few days, she is also a little a little bit... Greedy.

So, the father and daughter went straight back to the noodle stall where the bicycles were kept and ordered three bowls of noodle for [-] cents each.

In this day and age, a bowl of noodles costing two cents is already quite abundant. Most people only eat a bowl of noodles costing five cents. A few people even only eat a bowl of vegetarian noodles costing two or three cents, and are not willing to eat noodles costing more than a cent. Those are those who are relatively well-off.

When three bowls of generous portions of noodles covered with lean pork liver were brought over, the father and daughter picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Just when Deng Shirong was sweating profusely after eating, a pleasant female voice came over: "Boss, cook three bowls of noodles for five cents."

Deng Shirong followed the sound and found three young girls of similar age standing in front of the noodle stall. They looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.

Among them, the girl standing on the left is the tallest, she should be about 1 meters tall, but unfortunately she has an average appearance.

The girl standing on the right is the shortest, only about 1 meters tall. Her appearance is not bad. If she knew how to put on makeup like those girls in later generations, she would have a high rate of turning heads while walking on the road.

As for the one standing in the middle, Deng Shirong's eyes suddenly lit up.
