Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

The next day.

Because of the establishment of a cooperative, the Shangxia Ersan Village with Naye Village as the center became extremely lively. Children gathered at Bai Gong's place to watch the adults kill pigs and cook pork.

When the meat is cooked in the big pot and the aroma of the meat spreads, even if they can't eat it yet, just smelling it makes the children feel satisfied.

Baigong is less than 100 meters away from Deng Shirong's house, so their family Danshe (which means bringing bowls to get porridge and meat) is not like other families who are far away who rush here early, but go there in a hurry.

Guessing that the time was almost up, Deng Yunzhen and her sister Deng Yunzhu came to Baigong with basins, bowls and gold and silver incense paper.

At this time, the cooked She meat has been placed on the table, and four large iron pots are cooking She porridge. The aroma of the meat is wafting in the air, making the children salivate so much. .

"Azhu, you go and burn the gold and silver incense paper, and I'll set up the basin."

"Um!"

After Deng Yunzhen set up the basin, less than ten minutes later, someone shouted: "The branch has porridge!"

So everyone gathered around.

The person in charge of the branch porridge first put the porridge in the iron pot into a bucket, then lifted the bucket and started to portion the porridge one by one with a water ladle. Each portion was filled with a scoop of porridge.

Those who were given the communal porridge took the basins away.

When they arrived at their home, Deng Yunzhen reminded: "These are two branches."

When the people around him heard this, their eyes widened. What is the concept of running two companies in one family? It is no exaggeration to say that this is probably the first time I have encountered this since I started working in the company.

Especially those who only do half-shares, they feel even more uncomfortable. Others run two-shares, but their family only dares to run half-shares. Is the gap between people so big?

At this moment, many people who have always lived a frugal life secretly made a decision. When the next time they join the cooperative, their families will also make a share. Anyway, they can get it on credit. At worst, they will give money to the cooperative later.

Naturally, Deng Yunzhen didn't know that her words aroused the envy of everyone. When she saw the porridge man from the branch spooning two ladles of porridge into her basin, she carried it home with her sister.

After watching Sister Deng Yunzhen walk away, everyone began to talk about it.

"Jiu Gong is really willing to do two jobs!"

"Yes, Uncle Jiu is indeed a big vat master. He is so willing to eat it!"

"I've never heard of anyone doing two jobs. Is Jiugong the first?"

"I heard that Uncle Yungui and Jiu Gong contracted out the brigade's vat kiln together. With Jiu Gong's skills in making large vats, he will definitely make a lot of money when the vat kiln opens. It's really enviable."

"Those who have skills are great..."

Sister Deng Yunzhen naturally didn't know what everyone was talking about. After carrying the community porridge back, she added an appropriate amount of raw salt and called her father and eldest brother to come out to drink the porridge.

Social porridge should be eaten while it's hot to taste best.

…

In the afternoon, when receiving the community meat, sister Deng Yunzhen once again attracted everyone's attention. After all, two portions of community meat were stacked together, and the portion was really enviable.

For dinner, they had stir-fried pork again. Deng Shirong's children felt that the quality of life at home had skyrocketed in the past few days. In previous years, even during the Chinese New Year, the food was not necessarily as good as these days.

Deng Yunhua touched his full belly, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "I have a holiday the day after tomorrow. When my second brother comes back, I have to talk to him about the food at home these days, so that he doesn't have the two yuan given by dad. , the tail is raised to the sky!”

Deng Yunsong thought of his second brother's high-spirited appearance with the two dollars given by his father. He nodded and said, "Xiaohua, you have a good idea. Let's talk to him when he comes back."

After saying that, the two brothers looked at each other and then laughed.

At this time, they didn't know that their second brother also had the same thoughts as them, and they all secretly wanted to come back and talk to them about how delicious the school's braised pork was!

…

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the 22nd day of the fifth lunar month. Today is the Shuangwangwei Day, and it is also an important day for the woman to come to Deng Changfu's house to look after the house.

Housekeeping is equivalent to an engagement, and both the groom's family and the bride's family take it very seriously.

First of all, the husband's family, the brothers and sisters of Deng Yunqiang and his wife must be invited, as well as the captain, deputy captain and other cadres of the production team, and also friends with whom they are very close must be invited.

And as the male protagonist, Deng Changfu, he will also invite three or two friends who are good at playing, which adds up to more than 20 people.

As for the bride's family, Guan Yongying's aunt, aunts, aunts, and younger brothers and sisters came, totaling nearly ten people.

As for Guan Yongying's parents, they did not come. This is also the rule of housekeeping. It is impossible for the woman's parents to come to the man's house to look after the house.

There were so many guests, plus Deng Shirong, the matchmaker, and the man's family, a total of four tables were set up before he could barely sit down.

Normally, housekeepers would set up two or three tables. Deng Changfu’s house set up four tables, which was considered a big deal.

Before dinner, the matchmaker Deng Shirong is responsible for taking the woman and her party to visit the man's house, focusing on the room of the actor Deng Changfu.

In this era, everyone's conditions are not good. There is basically no extra furniture in the room. Many family houses only have a bed and nothing else.

There wasn't even a place to put clothes. We could only set up a bamboo pole inside the house and hang the clothes on it.

This is also the main reason why the family in Jimuar Village next door married three daughters-in-law with just one box. In this day and age, it is considered good to have a box as furniture.

Deng Changfu's room was also very simple, but he was about to get married after all. In order to satisfy the bride's family, his parents moved a wardrobe they used to their eldest son's room.

So the woman and her party saw that in addition to a canopy bed, Deng Changfu's room also had a wardrobe and a table.

Although the wardrobe and table were very old, the woman and her party were very satisfied with it.

However, something suddenly occurred to Aunt Guan, so she walked up to Deng Shirong and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Jiu, aren't this wardrobe and table just for show?"

Deng Shirong naturally understood why Aunt Guan asked this. The main reason was that the Ji Muar family had set a bad example. The box in her house would appear in the room of whichever son looked after the door.

But when the woman actually got married, and no one owned the box, it was obvious that she was deceiving her, and the official aunt was afraid that the Deng Changfu family would do the same.

Deng Shirong immediately explained: "It's definitely not a show. This wardrobe and table were given to Changfu by his parents for his wedding. Depending on what the house looks like now, it will be like what it will look like after getting married."

Aunt Guan nodded and said, "That's good!"

Aunt Guan said: "The room looks nice, but they have a lot of brothers and sisters, and the room is squeezed out. When they get married and have a few children, there will be no place to live."

Guan Yongying couldn't help but blush when he heard his aunt's words.

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It will be several years before they have a few children. Now society is changing rapidly. Our brigade will soon divide the fields and work alone. By then, everyone's living conditions will definitely get better and better. Maybe their family will build a new house in a few years.”

Aunt Guan smiled and said: "That's right. There's no need to think about it in the long term."
