Chapter 269 Network of relationships, happy to miss Shu [6000 words]
On the small dirt road heading towards Shuangwang from the Tanlian intersection, Deng Yunheng walked home with his five roommates and three female fellow villagers.
Tang Mingjie has grown up. This is the first time he has left the capital and traveled to Guangxi, which is thousands of miles away. Everything he sees along the way is truly novel.
For example, the very distinctive building here is the mud brick house.
For example, there are small hills that can be seen everywhere here.
For example, the small dirt road here has nine twists and turns.
In short, he found everything novel and novel, which he could not see in the capital.
The voice of Bu Dafang came from the mountain: "Here we come!"
The next day.
While waiting, Tang Mingjie and others were also looking at Deng Yunheng's family's Lychee Mountain. This is a small low mountain with local characteristics. It is full of lychee trees. Each lychee tree is about the height of an adult's belly button and has a crown. The width is about the same as an umbrella.
But from time to time, people's personalities will also change with the changes in the surrounding environment. The second son's personality in this life has changed a lot from the previous life. If the second son is forced to choose to go into business again, it will not necessarily is the best choice.
As the top variety among many lychee varieties, Guiwei’s texture and taste are unquestionable, so all the students who eat it praise it.
After eating pineapples, Deng Yunheng gave each of them a straw hat and took them up the mountain to pick pineapples.
All the students present who could drink poured wine, while those who could not drink drank instead, and they all raised their glasses together.
…
We were all sitting under the wooden shed watching TV with the villagers.
Then, the news that eight Peking University classmates came to Deng Yunheng's home spread throughout Naye Village.
“Yeah, I understand.”
Zheng Shifeng nodded repeatedly and said: "We are indeed right. These lychees alone are amazing enough. I wonder what other fruits are waiting for us?"
At the same time, several roommates and three female fellow villagers were very curious about Deng Yunheng's family. From the surrounding environment and the winding small dirt road in front of him, it could be seen that Deng Yunheng was indeed a rural boy with upright roots.
The first one to exclaim was Zheng Shifeng from Heilongjiang. He pointed to one of the dishes and said: "This is our Guobao Pork over there."
Deng Yunheng was also eating lychees. He spit out the small lychee core and said with a smile: "Where are you now? There are a lot of delicious fruits waiting for you next!"
Deng Yunheng took a deep breath and said, "Dad, I have been thinking about this question for the past two years, but I haven't found the answer until now."
“Hello, uncle!” A group of classmates also said hello.
When Tang Mingjie and others took their seats, they were all surprised by the large table of dishes. Although they hadn't tasted the food yet, the dishes were full of color and aroma. Just smelling the aroma and looking at the tempting dishes were enough to make them happy. You can tell that the taste of these dishes is absolutely the same.
A few people chatted and laughed. After they had almost eaten the lychees, Deng Yunheng asked each of them to pick a large handful. The six grown men then each picked up a large watermelon. They said hello to their cousin and cousin-in-law, and then joined the others. The classmates walked home contentedly.
Deng Shirong, who was lying under the wooden shed to enjoy the cool air, heard his youngest son's cry and couldn't help but sit up from the recliner. He saw his second son and his classmates at a glance. To his surprise, there were also three female classmates.
At about 3:30 pm, Deng Yunheng returned to Naye Village with a group of classmates.
Soon, a large area of bright red lychees and green watermelons appeared in front of Tang Mingjie and other students.
Now a group of such Peking University students gathered at Deng Yunheng's house. The villagers couldn't help but be curious and wanted to come over to watch the excitement. They also brought their children here to soak up the literary spirit of this group of "Wenquxing". They didn't expect their children to be admitted to Peking University. As long as they can get into a technical secondary school in such a key university, they will be satisfied.
“Hello, fellow students!”
Deng Shirong expressed his understanding of this. As the saying goes, "men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man." Choosing the path to take in the future is something that should be carefully considered. It is normal that the second son has not found the answer now.
Tang Mingjie smiled and said, “Isn’t this the first time I’m a little excited to eat lychees?”
“This is my cousin.”
Liu Xiaoman also pointed to one of the dishes in surprise: "This is our Guilin's braised pork with taro, right?"
However, a child from rural areas has considerable financial resources. He spends money like water on campus and behaves very generously. This naturally arouses everyone's curiosity and wants to know what Deng Yunheng's parents do.
Liu Xiaoman touched his stomach and said, "I haven't eaten much yet, why do I feel like I'm already full!"
Liu Xiaoman couldn't help but ask: "President, how far is this place from your home?"
Next, let’s skip the introductions and kind words.
This meal made Tang Mingjie and several other students extremely satisfied.
…
In short, Deng Yunheng took these students to experience everything that rural children can play.
Those are Peking University students. Each one of them is a proud son with a bright future. I heard from the brigade secretary that after Peking University students graduate and start working, they may be able to compete with the level of commune secretary from the beginning. They have been working for more than ten years. The official is probably bigger than the county magistrate.
After introducing all the dishes, Deng Shirong picked up the wine and said, "Dear classmates, welcome to our home again."
Deng Yunheng smiled and continued to introduce: "This wooden pineapple can be divided into dry buns and wet buns. Of course, this is just the classification of wooden pineapples by our villagers. In fact, in addition to these two types, there is another type called oil buns. Variety."
Other students also praised him. They had heard Deng Yunheng say that his father's cooking skills were good before coming here, but at that time they thought that this so-called good skill was just better than ordinary people. They never expected that he was so good that he could compete with professional chefs. Degree.
“Okay, then I’ll tell you...”
All the students could not help but marvel after hearing this.
After listening to his second son talk about his situation at school, Deng Shirong pondered for a moment and said: "Yunheng, before you went to college, I discussed with you what path to take in the future because of the matter of choosing a major.
“Okay, then next semester, I will try to join the student union or the youth league committee to get some experience and see if I have the interest in politics.”
In the next few days, Deng Yunheng led a group of Peking University students around, riding bicycles to Laohutou Reservoir to play and fish, picking wild fruits in the mountains, picking snails by the fields and rivers, or burning kilns in the fields. Roasted sweet potatoes, taro…
Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "It will take more than half an hour to walk."
Deng Yunheng, on the other hand, was sitting at the door chatting with his father, mainly talking to his father about his situation at school this year.
Wang Limei said: "We still have to walk for more than half an hour. President, your village is really remote."
Soon, Bu Dafang came down and opened the door. She had already heard from her uncle that her second cousin was going to bring his classmates back. These should be his classmates at Peking University.
“Dad, I’m back!” Seeing his father standing there, Deng Yunheng greeted him from a distance.
On the oversized table in Deng Shirong's house, there were more than a dozen delicious dishes with generous portions.
After eating it, everyone was full of praise.
Deng Shirong said with a smile: "Everyone comes from different places and may have different tastes, so I specially made a hometown dish for each of you. Do you recognize it?" After hearing this, Tang Mingjie and others quickly looked carefully. Looking at the dining table on the table, exclamations soon started to sound again.
If you choose to enter politics, the country now promotes younger cadres. College graduates of your generation will have an extremely huge advantage. Your starting point is the end of others' lifelong struggle. It can be said that no one else can envy you. "
After all, Deng Yunheng has been at Peking University for two years, and his vision is indeed not comparable to that of the country boy before. When his father said this, he understood.
Deng Yunheng has always admired his father. When he heard what he said, he asked: "Dad, what preparations have been made in advance?"
…”
Deng Yunheng laughed and said: "The time of the shuttle bus is not right. As for the bicycle at home, I bought it after I went to the commune to study in high school. At first, I walked by myself, but later my sister would ride a bicycle to give me a ride."
Looking at the scene in front of them, Tang Mingjie and others nodded secretly. With the financial resources Deng Yunheng showed in school, his family should be like this, instead of living in a dilapidated mud brick house like other villagers. That would be too boring.
While the three girls were helping to clean up and wash the dishes, Deng Yunheng looked at the five roommates and asked, "You can all swim, right?"
The world is so big and the population is so large. No matter how delicious the food is, it cannot be loved by everyone. There are actually people who don’t like to eat lychees, but they definitely do not include everyone here. Lychees are a fruit that is popular all over the country. Out of 10,000 people, there are definitely 9,999 people who like to eat.
Everyone was filled with anticipation when they heard this.
By the time they came back from bathing at the river, the sky was getting dark.
Therefore, Deng Shirong wanted to ask his second son what he wanted and let him choose according to his own interests. Whether he was in politics or business, there were pros and cons.
Tang Mingjie chuckled and said, "It seems we really came to the right place this time!"
Deng Shirong struck a match, lit his tobacco and took a few puffs before saying: "No matter you choose to go into politics or business, having a strong network of connections will be a great help to your career, so you must You need to put effort into maintaining your relationship network. For example, bringing your classmates to your home is a very good idea, which can deepen your relationship and will come in handy in the future.”
Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "Then eat it leisurely. Anyway, these lychees are specially left for us by my father to eat. From now on, we will have something to eat every day. There is no need to rush. There will be a big meal to eat when we get back later!"
Tang Mingjie looked confused when he heard this, and asked: "What do these dry buns, wet buns, and oil buns mean?"
“Of course it’s the most delicious dry bun.”
After thinking about it, Deng Shirong said: "Since you haven't made the final decision yet, you should make preparations in advance now."
Deng Shirong also smiled and said hello: "Hello, classmates, welcome to our home."
Although several people had drunk, it was a bit inappropriate to bathe in the river, but everyone had a sense of propriety, and it was not possible to drink too much when visiting a classmate's house for the first time, so the small amount of wine had no impact.
"Okay, since you know how to do it, bring a change of clothes and a towel, and I'll take you to the river opposite to take a bath."
A few people were chatting while eating lychees. This stuff is delicious, but it also makes people feel full after eating it. A few people felt that they were not satisfied enough, but their stomachs protested.
…
“This should be our Henan braised mutton.”
So, several classmates from all over the country followed Deng Yunheng excitedly towards his orchard.
“They say you only have the wrong name and not the wrong nickname. You really deserve to be the King of Fruits!”
Deng Yunheng nodded and said: "It is indeed quite remote. It takes at least two or three hours to walk from our village to the commune. I studied in the commune in high school. At that time, I basically went home once every two weeks. Originally, I only went home once a week. I only had a day and a half of vacation, and I wasted most of it just walking.”
When you meet villagers along the way, it is natural to say hello.
Deng Yunheng said: "I have seven brothers and sisters."
…”
Deng Yunheng led a group of classmates to a wooden door. When he saw that it was locked with a lock, he shouted: "Cousin, come down and open the door for me."
Before cutting it, Deng Yunheng gave some tips to his classmates: "This pineapple is the largest fruit in the world. It generally weighs more than ten kilograms, and some even weigh nearly a hundred kilograms. Therefore, it is also known as the King of Fruits."
Six pm.
“Is this our Baise’s wild mushroom stewed chicken?”
The large blue brick houses connected together, the wooden sheds set up under the longan tree, the walls and the concrete floors...
Now, I want to ask you again, after graduating from university, do you want to go into politics or business? "
Even Liu Xiaoman and her three daughters, who had already eaten a lot of lychees, couldn't help but get excited.
A few people were walking and chatting, and they walked for nearly half an hour without realizing it.
However, the lychee trees they could see were all bare, and no lychees were visible.
Deng Yunheng explained: “The flesh of dry-wrapped wood pineapple is bright yellow, crisp, extremely sweet in taste, and of the best quality; the flesh of wet-wrapped wood pineapple is yellow, with more juice, soft cotton texture, and sweet and greasy honey aroma; the flesh of wet-wrapped wood pineapple is sweet and greasy in texture. The flesh of the wood pineapple is dark yellow, the juice is even and oily, the flesh is bright, soft and crispy, the aroma is rich and honey-sweet, and the texture is also very good.”
Deng Yunheng introduced both parties: "Cousin, these are my classmates."
Deng Shirong stuffed tobacco into the mouth of the chimney and said: "Now that the country is reforming and opening up, whether in politics or business, a large number of talents are needed. You, the college students of this generation, are truly stepping on the shoulders of the development of the times.
Originally, the students didn’t have any ideas, but after listening to Deng Shirong’s reminder, they all picked out their own hometown dishes from the many dishes.
“This pineapple is already the largest fruit I have ever seen. I didn’t expect it to weigh nearly a hundred pounds. This is simply unbelievable.”
“Oh my God, one weighs nearly a hundred pounds?”
“Who can’t swim?”
Liu Xiaoman asked curiously: "Then what is this wooden pineapple wrapped in?"
Liu Xiaoman immediately exclaimed: "Wow, so beautiful!"
“Thank you, uncle!”
After the two parties greeted each other, Deng Yunheng quickly walked up the mountain with a group of classmates who had been eager to try.
Deng Yunheng nodded and said: "I know dad, after I join the student union or the youth league committee and practice for a year, I should be able to determine the path I want to take."
“I followed my brother to the river to swim when I was seven or eight years old!”
The students were no longer polite. Each person took a portion and began to dig out the pulp inside and eat it.
“We’ve caused trouble for you, uncle!”
Deng Yunheng said hello, then waved his hand and said to all the students: "Let's go, I will take you to the orchard to eat lychees."
“Is this pork ribs and lotus root soup from Hubei?”
After saying that, Deng Yunheng cut it open, revealing the bright yellow pulp and a little white juice inside.
Followed by Tang Mingjie, he pointed to another dish and said: "This is our shredded pork with Beijing sauce!"
As a result, out of the eight classmates, six of them liked the taste and couldn't stop eating it. Only two, Zheng Shifeng and Chu Zhenyu, thought the taste was weird.
However, the plan is not static. You have been studying abroad for two years now, and you are still in a place like the capital, and you have come into contact with so many elites. I believe your vision has been sharpened.
After eating more than ten lychees in a row, Tang Mingjie said with emotion: "It's worth it. I can eat such delicious lychees and I don't feel tired anymore after being on the train for so many days!"
Tang Mingjie and others' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they said hello repeatedly.
Tang Mingjie opened his eyes wide and said, "So this is what lychees look like."
As soon as these words came out, all the students were no longer polite and started picking lychees one after another.
Hearing Deng Yunheng mention his sister, Liu Xiaoman asked: "President, I forgot to ask before, how many brothers and sisters do you have?"
After breakfast, Deng Yunheng, surrounded by a crowd of classmates, began to take a knife and prepare to cut into the wooden pineapple weighing more than 30 kilograms in front of him.
While the villagers were running around telling each other, Deng Yunheng finally returned home with a group of classmates.
Choose to engage in business and you will have a vast world where you can fully display your knowledge.
After asking his classmates to put their luggage in the rooms arranged for them, Deng Shirong smiled and said to his second son: "Yunheng, I will start cooking now. You can take your classmates to Lizhi Mountain. The mountains are for you." There are enough lychees and watermelons left!”
So, a few people went back to the room to get fresh clothes and towels. Deng Yunheng also brought soap for bathing and washing clothes. After saying hello to the three female fellow villagers, they happily walked towards the house opposite their home. Walk along the river.
"Yes!"
After taking a sip of wine, Deng Shirong greeted: "Everyone, don't be polite, hurry up and start eating!"
Use oil paper to wipe off the white juice on your hands, cut it in half, and then repeat the same action again.
Originally, because of his second son’s experience in his previous life, Deng Shirong believed that his second son’s character was not suitable for politics, so he always wanted to push his second son to go into business.
By this time, Liu Xiaoman and three other female classmates had already washed their hair and taken a shower.
Hearing this, Tang Mingjie's eyes widened and he said, "Isn't that right? You actually have to walk when you are in high school? Even if you don't take a car, don't you ride a bicycle?"
“I didn’t expect that my uncle would cook our Wuzhou scallion fish.”
As soon as these words came out, Tang Mingjie and the other five people all became excited.
Everyone sighed after hearing this. They didn’t have such trouble when they were in high school.
Because fruit is a completely different feeling when bought outside and eaten directly from the tree.
From the moment he walked into the village entrance, villagers kept saying hello to Deng Yunheng along the way. Seeing that he had brought so many people back, they all asked curiously.
“Uncle, you have worked hard and cooked so many dishes.”
“Second brother is back!”
“This Dongpo Pork must be our Zhejiang specialty.”
Deng Yunheng said: "Let's eat lychees today. When we go back later, we will pick some lychees and watermelons to eat at night. Tomorrow I will take you to pick linseeds and eat pineapples. The day after tomorrow, we will eat yellow peels and star fruits. These are all things that you in the north cannot eat. of fruit.”
Ten minutes later, Deng Yunheng and his party arrived at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by such plants, as shown below:
Wang Limei also touched her belly and said, "Me too, I feel like I'm already full just after I started eating!"
Although several people were a little surprised when they heard this, they were not too surprised. After all, they were all born in the 1960s. Who in this generation does not have many brothers and sisters?
“President, if it’s convenient, tell us about your family so we can say hello when we see you later.”
Deng Shirong took the chimney next to him and said: "The main thing is to prepare for politics in advance, such as applying to join the party, joining the student union or the youth league committee to gain experience. These will be of great help in choosing to enter politics in the future."
After cutting the pineapple into sixteen parts and removing the white heart to expose the pulp inside, Deng Yunheng wiped off the white juice and said with a smile: "Okay, now you can eat it. I like this pineapple." People who eat it will like it very much, but people who don’t like it will think it tastes weird. Try it and see if it tastes like something you like.”
Liu Xiaoman immediately exclaimed: "Oh my god, uncle, your skills are so good!"
After finishing the meal, the three girls Liu Xiaoman, Wang Limei and Li Guiying rushed to help clean up and wash the dishes.
“Hello, cousin!”
Seeing that they all picked out their hometown dishes, Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Apart from your hometown dishes, the rest are our local specialties. This is white-cut chicken, and this is steamed mudworm. This is fried prawns, this is fried bee pupae, this is fried squid, this is Bobai stir-fried..."
Bu Dafang has been responsible for these tasks recently. Although she has always said that she can take care of it, she can't stand the competing performance of the three women, so she can only let them help.
“It goes without saying that you are in business, you originally majored in economics.”
Although you knew the dishes must taste good just by looking at the dishes and smelling the aroma, when they started to eat, the students couldn't help but be surprised because every dish tasted so delicious.
Deng Yunheng laughed and said: "Stop looking at it, pick it up and taste it quickly, and see what the taste of the lychees that you are so obsessed with is."
Tang Mingjie and others were a little happy to be able to eat well, live well, have fun, and be happy.
