Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

2 p.m.

Naye villa complex.

Three sisters, Zhang Xiuping, Ou Guofang, and Ou Guohua, were sitting in the living room chatting.

This villa is naturally the villa of the European Hua family. When the whole family built the villa, Deng Changyuan had already separated from his parents and brothers, so he asked for this villa alone.

After chatting about the SARS epidemic for a while, Ou Guohua couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Ping, Sister Fang, time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, we are all in our forties, and in two years our children will be married. , we are the ones who become grandma or grandma.”

Ou Guofang also lamented: "I have indeed grown old without realizing it. It feels like all the things that happened when I was young are still before my eyes!"

Zhang Xiuping smiled and said: "Let's grow old as we grow old. Anyway, the three of us sisters are very lucky. Not only did we grow up together, we also married in the same place, and our lives are so good. God has been enough for us." Okay.”

Ou Guohua said with deep approval: "Sister Ping is right, God is indeed good to us. I think back then, the three of us sisters, our biggest wish was to marry a more honest man, so that our father-in-law and mother-in-law would be easier to talk to. , As for the man’s family conditions, I don’t even dare to think about them, as long as they are no worse than ours.

At that time, I really never dreamed that the three of us sisters would be as prosperous and wealthy as we are today. "

"Yes, at that time we really never dreamed that we would live such a wealthy life as we do today."

Ou Guofang nodded in agreement, and then added: "Of course, we are where we are today thanks to Sister Ping. If Sister Ping hadn't given us a hand, we sisters would probably not be living as well as we are. How powerful are those girls in Xincun, how could they possibly have such a wealthy life as they do today!"

Zhang Xiuping smiled and said: "Actually, we should all thank my father-in-law. It was my father-in-law who changed the fate of our three sisters."

"Sister Ping is right!"

Ou Guohua nodded repeatedly and said: "Jiu Gong not only changed the fate of our three sisters, but also changed the fate of the entire Nayedeng clan. Without Jiu Gong's selfless dedication, how could the Yedeng clan be where they are today!"

Ou Guofang said: "Even the genealogy is qualified to be opened on a single page. We don't need to say more about Jiu Gong's contribution to the clan!"

Ou Guohua said with emotion: "There are really too few people like Jiu Gong in the world. Not only is he the leader of the clan, he is convinced by the whole clan, but he is also so kind to all his daughters-in-law. He is really not partial at all. It's absolutely okay." It’s a model for the whole family. It would be great if my parents-in-law were so sensible.”

Zhang Xiuping said: "Ahua, in fact, your parents-in-law are pretty good. At first, they were just a little partial, and there were no big problems in other aspects. Now we are all about to be grandmas, and we should understand how to be parents." It is really difficult to be completely impartial.

Take my Dong'er and Dongzi for example. Not to mention us as parents, even my father-in-law, as a grandfather, can't help but favor Dong'er.

So just keep this kind of thing in mind. Unless it goes too far, there is no need to worry about these things. "

Ou Guofang said: "Yes, Ahua, please stop worrying about these things."

Ou Guohua smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have looked past these things a long time ago. If it was in difficult times before, maybe I would care about it, but now there is no shortage of money. It doesn't matter to me whether they are partial or not."

Zhang Xiuping said: "Just look away."

…

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The entrance of Naye Deng's Ancestral Hall.

Deng Shirong presided over the year-end clan meeting.

In addition to the members of the Naye Deng clan and my aunt, there were naturally a crowd of onlookers who came after hearing the news. This has become an annual repertoire of Shangxia Ersan Village.

Naturally, first of all, clan stipends are given to outstanding students in the clan, followed by dividends from the aunts, and then to the clan members. This process has been going on for more than ten years, and not only the Nayedeng clan members are very familiar with it. So familiar, even the onlookers knew it clearly.

Nowadays, in addition to distributing bursaries to outstanding students in the clan and distributing dividends to the aunts in the clan, which are still in cash, the dividends paid to the clan members are no longer cash, but are paid directly to them. of Kari.

Here, it is worth mentioning that all banks with business outlets in the county have opened business outlets here in Naye Village. Therefore, when the Naye Deng clan distributes dividends to the clan members, they are all bank staff. It’s really not too convenient to come directly to work on site.

Only Deng Shirong present knew that in the previous life, there was only one credit union in Shuangwang Town. It was not until a few years later that Shuangwang Town's economy developed significantly, and there was a Guilin Bank, and the others were gone.

It can be seen from here that the economy of Shuangwang Town was really not very good in the previous life, because if the economy was strong, the four major banks would definitely set up business outlets here.

This life is different. Driven by the big project of Naye Film and Television City, all the four major companies have come to Naye Village to set up business outlets.

Deng Shirong's two in-laws have long heard about Naye Deng's year-end dividend meeting, but it was not until this year that they actually watched the whole process live. I have to say that it was still very shocking, ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands. The amount of dividends ranges from tens of millions to tens of millions, and most people find it difficult to remain calm when they see it at the scene.

Father Feng was better. Before he became a relative of Deng Shirong, he had earned more than 30 million yuan through his own efforts. In the past five years, with the strong support of his relatives, his business has been getting more and more prosperous, and now he is a billionaire.

Therefore, he can still keep calm when he sees the dividend distribution of Deng's company.

But Father Zhou is different. He was not a businessman before, but an official. Seeing that the dividend distribution meeting of Deng's company was just as his son and daughter-in-law said, he was more or less emotional.

Of course, after his son married Deng Yunzhu, his current wealth has reached a very exaggerated level.

Therefore, Father Zhou was just emotional in his heart, but he was not too shocked.

After the dividends were distributed to the tribesmen and the bank staff evacuated, Deng Shirong began to speak: "Dear tribesmen and other cousins, I will talk to you about the SARS epidemic.

According to the information I received, the number of SARS cases in Guangzhou is increasing day by day, and I believe there will be a major outbreak in a few days.

I have told you about the SARS virus many times before, but today, while my aunt and so many cousins ​​are here, I will emphasize to you again that SARS is a highly contagious virus that can kill people after infection.

Therefore, everyone must pay attention to it, and do a good job of supervision, and try to prevent relatives and friends in Guangdong from coming back.

If someone in the village is found to have returned from Guangdong, then The regulations on self-isolation must be strictly implemented. The specific approach is as follows..."

After explaining the method of self-isolation to everyone, Deng Shirong continued: "This terrible infectious disease concerns the life safety of everyone, so everyone must strictly implement it. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when everyone visits relatives, they must also call in advance to communicate. If there are people returning from Guangdong in the village where the relatives live, it is best not to visit for the time being, and wait until the epidemic is over.

In short, everyone must strengthen contact, and tell each other if there is any movement, and never let SARS spread to us.

Okay, the rest of what should be said has been said, let's adjourn!"

Everyone left in groups while discussing.

As Deng Shirong said, he has said enough about the SARS epidemic during this period of time, and the county leaders also attach great importance to it. The health departments of various towns and villages have entered the village to publicize epidemic prevention knowledge. I believe everyone has a sense of prevention.

It was okay if I didn't take precautions in my previous life. I have taken so many precautions in this life. If something still happens, it would be a strange thing.

So, Deng Shirong is still very relieved.

…

In a blink of an eye.

It was the second day of the Chinese New Year.

After breakfast, the entire Naye Deng family was in action. Every household was stuffing things into the trunk. These were gifts for their daughters-in-law to take back to their parents' home.

Twenty years ago, most of the daughters-in-law of the Naye Deng family went back to their parents' home on foot.

Fifteen years ago, most of them went back on bicycles.

Ten years ago, most of them went back on motorcycles.

Nowadays, most of them go back in cars.

According to statistics at the end of last year, the number of cars owned by the Naye Deng family has exceeded 600, which is already a very exaggerated data. There are not so many cars in all the towns and villages in the county, including the county seat.

After all, this is not the future, and cars in the future are as common as motorcycles now.

But it is only 2003, and the monthly salary of waiters, salesmen, security guards and other professions in Bobai County is only two or three hundred yuan. It is already very good to get three or four hundred yuan a month.

Therefore, it is really unlikely for people who earn wages to buy cars in this era.

Only bosses who make money from business can afford cars.

Because Deng Shirong's publicity last year had a very obvious effect, the migrant workers who should have returned home all quit their jobs and rushed back before Tenglong Passenger Transport Company stopped running in Guangdong. Those who did not return at that time did not return later.

Therefore, it is still very safe in these villages and towns, and everyone can visit relatives without any scruples.

The three sisters Zhang Xiuping, Ou Guofang, and Ou Guohua naturally drove their husbands and children back to their parents' home to visit relatives.

In the past, Zhang Xiuping and others had to go to Tanlian Road, then Longtan Street, and then go to Poxin Village to return to their parents' home.

This route actually takes a lot of detours. Shuangwangbangjie-Tanlian intersection-Longtanpoxin is equivalent to a "factory" character. Shuangwangbangjie is at the end of the horizontal stroke of the "factory" character, Tanlian intersection is at the intersection of the horizontal stroke and the left stroke of the "factory" character, and Longtanpoxin is at the end of the left stroke of the "factory" character.

Therefore, the original route took a lot of detours.

Nowadays, due to the promotion of Naye Film and Television City, the official highway from Nanning to Naye Film and Television City has been built. The highway from Naye Village to Longtan is no longer a "factory" character, but a "one" character.

In this way, the two places are not only closer, but also on the highway. It used to take more than 40 minutes to drive a car, but now it can be reached in just 15 minutes. It is really very convenient.

When Zhang Xiuping and others' car entered Poxin Village, it directly caused a sensation in the whole village.

Now the status of Zhang Xiuping and her two sisters in Poxin Village is really ridiculously high, mainly because they have made great contributions to the village, such as repairing the ancestral hall, building schools, building roads, and setting up scholarships, etc., and the three sisters have spent a lot of money.

In this era, the rich are the uncles, not to mention that this uncle is willing to spend money for the village, it would be strange if he is not in a high position.

Back to her mother's house, the words of greeting each other are omitted.

Zhang's mother looked at her granddaughter in surprise and said, "Dong'er, are you driving?"

Little Dong'er smiled and said, "Yes, grandma, my driving skills are not bad, I will take you out for a ride later."

Zhang's mother smiled and said yes, then took her granddaughter and grandson's hands and said, "It's cold outside, come in and warm up by the fire."

Although the Zhang family has installed air conditioning for a long time, rural people are used to sitting around the fire when it's cold. For the Zhang family, the comfort brought by the fire is not comparable to air conditioning and heating.

Sitting by the fire, Zhang Shouguo asked: "Dongzi, you also went to Beijing to study in college, how do you feel?"

Dongzi smiled and said: "Uncle, I feel pretty good. Our school is not far from my sister's school. I go to Peking University to see my sister every week."

Little Donger rolled his eyes at him and said: "Are you here to see me at Peking University? You came to our school to find a partner."

Zhang Shoushan, who was sitting next to Dongzi, reached out and patted his shoulder, praising him: "Good boy, you actually went to Peking University to find a partner, you are really good."

Dongzi laughed and said: "Of course, I don't like the female classmates in our crappy school."

The older cousin couldn't help but ask curiously: "Dongzi, have you found a partner in Peking University?"

Dongzi shook his head and said: "I haven't found one yet, mainly because my sister is very stingy and refuses to introduce me to beautiful junior schoolmates."

Little Dong'er snorted: "It's not easy for people to get into Peking University, I don't want to hurt them."

Dongzi said: "Sister, look at what you said, isn't it a blessing to be with me? How can it hurt me!"

Little Dong'er said: "You just entered college, and you can't wait to find a partner. Who knows if you will just play around and throw it away?"

Dongzi: "..."

Hearing the conversation between the siblings, all the elders couldn't help but smile.

If it was Xiao Dong'er who was eager to find a partner at school, I'm afraid few people present would laugh, but if it was Dongzi, it wouldn't matter.

Because when men and women fall in love, the default in society is that the man takes advantage and the woman suffers.

Zhang Xiuping asked, "Dongzi, are you really looking for a partner, or are you just playing around like your sister said?"

Dongzi blinked and said, "If you find someone you like, you can spend some time together. If it's suitable, you can get married. If it's not suitable, you can break up. How can you say it's just playing around?"

Deng Yuntai warned, "Take it easy, kid. From your grandfather on, everyone in our family is very dedicated to their relationships. Don't learn bad habits."

Dongzi said, "Dad, don't worry. I understand that relationships that are not for the purpose of marriage are all hooliganism."

Deng Yuntai said, "Well, it's good that you know it."

"Dongzi's idea is good. Find a partner while you are studying, and you can get married directly after graduating from college."

At this point, Zhang's mother looked at the three grandsons who were not married yet and said, "You three brothers should learn from Dongzi and find a partner as soon as possible."

Dongzi's three cousins ​​looked at each other and could only respond helplessly.

...

Naya Village

Deng Shirong, who was idle, was sitting in front of the computer reading online novels.

At this time, the development of online novels had entered the end of the Bronze Age, and the arrival of the Black Iron Age was not far away.

In later generations, some people who were interested in the development of online novels summarized the development of online novels, from the Stone Age when online novels were born to the big IP era in later generations, with detailed divisions.

Among them, the Stone Age refers to 1998-2000, the Bronze Age is 2000-2003, the Black Iron Age is 2003-2005, the Golden Age is 2005-2008, the Wireless Age is 2008-2015, and the Big IP Age is from 2015 to later generations.

The reason why there is no Silver Age is that after entering 2005, online literature ushered in a comprehensive explosion, directly stepping over the Silver Age and entering the Golden Age.

In the Bronze Age, Rosen's "Story of Fengzi", Pistol's "Tianmo Shentan", and Lao Zhu's "Zichuan" were all famous works that were popular during this period.

It is worth mentioning Rosen's "Story of Wind and Beauty". This work was published in Taiwan Wanxiang Publishing House around 1998. The first volume "Galaxy Chapter" and then "Meteor Chapter" were published. However, with the advent of the Internet age, this book soon began to circulate and update on the Internet.

So, although "Story of Wind and Beauty" was originally a paper media, it is a serious online novel.

In his previous life, when Deng Shirong came into contact with online novels, online novels had already entered the wireless era. At that time, there were so many online novels that he had no time to go back and read the works of the Stone Age and the Bronze Age. He only reviewed the well-known works of the Black Iron Age and the Golden Age.

Now, with nothing to do, Deng Shirong searched for "Tianmo Shentan" written by Taiwanese writer Pistol, and prepared to take a look at this phenomenal online novel.

Although Deng Shirong had never read "The Legend of the Demon God" in his previous life, he was indeed familiar with its name.

How popular was this novel in the Bronze Age?

It is said that when Pistol updated "The Legend of the Demon God" online, such a thing happened: a large number of readers were waiting for the novel to be updated in front of their computers. At the moment when his novel was updated, a large number of readers clicked in to read it. As a result, due to the huge amount of reading traffic, the network was blocked and the server of its first release website almost collapsed.

Moreover, after the physical book of "The Legend of the Demon God" was published in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the highest single-volume sales reached a peak of more than 12,000 copies.

At that time, a book had only 60,000 words, and the price in Taiwan was 160 to 170 Taiwan dollars, which was about 40 yuan. In addition, the population of Hong Kong and Taiwan was only 30 million, so it can be said that this was a huge sales figure.

When you are fascinated by a novel, you can't feel the passage of time. Anyone who likes to read novels, when encountering wonderful works, I am afraid that they have the experience of reading all night without realizing it, and they really can't stop.

Deng Shirong is not that obsessed with "The Legend of the Demon God". If he had read this book when he first came into contact with online novels, he would definitely be fascinated like other readers, but he has been bombarded with the various online novels of later generations for more than ten years, and I don’t know how many classic plots in the novels he has read.

Now looking back at "The Legend of the Demon God" in this era, it is really difficult to have that amazing feeling again.

However, it is still quite good to kill time.
