Chapter 28 Buying a Car
Ever since Deng Shirong used the simple and crude monetary reward method, the four sons have not gone anywhere. They stay at home and read every day. They are very motivated to study, but they don’t know how long they can persist.
In order not to distract them, Deng Shirong kept his word. Not only did he not let them work, he also cooked delicious food for them in different ways every day.
Stewed carp, crucian carp soup, eel porridge, spicy field snails, spicy frogs, etc., these good products that no one wants in the fields, are all made by Deng Shirong into delicacies that are full of color, flavor and flavor, allowing his children to feast on them and at the same time, I admired my father's cooking skills very much.
The four sons were not allowed to work, and the eldest son worked in a tile factory, so the housework fell on the two daughters.
Deng Shirong's family also raised a pig and two chickens. The two hens were easy to get rid of, but it took a lot of effort to serve the pig. In addition, most of the food used for cooking and cooking now is firewood, so from time to time Going up the mountain to cut firewood.
Although there is a lot of work, girls of this age have long been accustomed to it.
In addition to cooking food for his children at home, Deng Shirong spent most of his time "running for clients." With his back-and-forth coordination, the "marriage" between Zhang Kangmei and Deng Changmei also progressed very smoothly. The man's family readily agreed to the request made by the woman's family. No haggling.
In this era, no communes were held in March, June, and September. The specific reason is unknown. Anyway, there was a taboo. It was not until later generations that this taboo was lifted. March communes, June communes, and September communes were called Fu societies.
Sham Shui Tin Village.
Deng Shirong hummed and said, "Let's do this first. You and your family will discuss it carefully. You must tell me clearly in advance how many people will be married off when you get married, so that the groom's family can make arrangements easily."
If it were other members of the production team, they might not be able to buy this bicycle at this price!
Every happy event, our Chinese people pay attention to a good omen, and naturally we will not take the initiative to touch this bad luck.
Hence, Deng Shirong only went back and forth twice and successfully helped the two families set a date for housekeeping.
…
As for the sisters Deng Yunzhen and Deng Yunzhu, there is also a look of expectation in their eyes. In this era, being able to ride a bicycle is a very honorable thing among friends. They didn't have the conditions to learn it before, but now that they have bicycles at home, they naturally want to learn it.
As for the taboo of getting married in June, there are several opinions. One of them is that the ancients believed that June is half of the year, and a bride in June is equal to half a bride, which is equivalent to having a before and no after, which indicates the marriage of the couple. In the end, it is easy to become a half-way couple.
So in this era, there is absolutely no marriage in the sixth month of the lunar calendar.
On this day, when Deng Shirong came to borrow a bicycle again, the captain Deng Yunjun said with a smile: "Uncle Jiu, I have already said hello to other people about this bicycle. I know it is Uncle Jiu and you want to buy it. Everyone has no objection."
Now that Deng Shirong bought this 70% new bicycle from the production team, he is already a very powerful figure in the village.
Deng Shirong's children were very excited when they returned home and found out that their father had paid for the bicycle.
Guan Dewei nodded and said: "I understand, I will make preparations and will not delay the wedding."
“Of course you can, any of you older ones can learn it.”
When he arrived at Guan Dewei's house, after saying hello and burning two tubes of cigarettes, Deng Shirong took out the date sheet and handed it over and said: "Relative (the same name as my cousin), this is a good and auspicious day calculated by the fortune teller. Take a look."
Deng Yunjun nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely be there."
After the two parties were polite, Deng Shirong rode his newly purchased bicycle back home.
Deng Yunsong immediately echoed: "Dad, I want to learn too."
Deng Shirong knew that he had misunderstood, but he did not explain. He smiled and said: "I am going to the deep water field now, so I won't tell you more. Come to my house for dinner in the afternoon, and I will prepare some appetizers and have a drink with you."
There is also a popular saying in the Shuangwang realm: On June 6th, shrike eat the flesh of mother.
"Okay, I'll go back first and come back in two days to get the wedding list."
Therefore, without saying a word, Deng Shirong took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Deng Yunjun, saying: "Okay, then I want this bicycle!"
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "The groom's family has already prepared the sewing machine. In a few days, after the production team has divided the grain, they will ask someone to pick it over. Your dowry and other things can also be prepared in advance!"
It means that every year on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, the shrike will brutally eat its mother. Therefore, the ancients regarded this as an ominous omen.
Deng Yunjun said: "This bicycle will be about 70% new after cleaning. Uncle Jiu, just give me 100 yuan."
“Uncle Jiu, don’t worry, stay and have lunch before leaving.”
Deng Yunjun obviously didn’t expect Uncle Jiu to carry so much cash with him. He was stunned for a moment before taking the money and said: “Uncle Jiu, you are very well-informed!”
“No need, I still have things to do.”
Guan Dewei took the date sheet and saw that it was written on the first day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. He knew that this was the nearest auspicious day chosen by the groom's family.
The price is not expensive. After all, it is a permanent brand bicycle. Like the Phoenix brand, it can be called the Mercedes-Benz and BMW in the bicycle industry. Even if you have a ticket, it will cost about 180 to buy a brand new one. If you don’t have a ticket, it will be even more expensive. This bicycle It can be bought for one hundred yuan, which can be said to be a very good deal.
This date is written on the first day of the seventh lunar month, which is indeed the fastest and auspicious day to get married.
Deng Shirong’s eyes lit up and he asked: “Captain, how much does this bicycle cost?”
“Dad, can you teach me to ride a bicycle?” Deng Yunheng asked with expectation in his eyes.
Since the man’s net worth has been paid and his daughter has been registered, Guan Dewei naturally won’t make a fuss about the auspicious wedding day. He put away the date slip and said: “No problem, I will accept this date slip!”
Although Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng were a little excited, they were ten and eight years old and had not yet grown up. When they saw the tall 28-year-old bar, they still closed their mouths in awe.
Because in the Shuangwang realm, no matter whether it is a company or any happy event, it will not be done in the sixth month of the lunar calendar.
In this day and age, bicycles are basically common in big cities, but in the rural areas of Bobai County, bicycles are still very rare. Many production teams collectively own one or two bicycles, and very few individuals own bicycles.
“I understand this. We will finalize the wedding list in the next two days.”
Having said this, Deng Shirong looked at his eldest daughter and said, "Let's start with you, Azhen. Once you learn how to do it, it will be Yunheng's turn. You sisters and brothers will come one by one from eldest to youngest."
Deng Yunzhen was very surprised when she heard this and said happily: "Thank you, Dad!"
