Chapter 363: The Prominent Family Merit Monument Shocked Clan Members From All over the Country [10,000 Words Burst]
The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.
At the entrance of the new ancestral hall of the Naye Deng family, on the wide cement floor, there are 500 brand new tables and 5,000 matching chairs.
These tables and chairs are placed on the left and right sides, leaving a seven or eight meter wide passage in the middle.
At this time, many tables are placed with an exquisite bamboo woven fruit plate, which is piled with candies, biscuits, melon seeds, twisted dough sticks, peanut candies and other snacks. At the same time, there is a teapot and several tea cups on the table, as well as a bag of local black tea. Under the table is a thermos with boiling water.
These things are naturally used by the Naye Deng family to entertain the branch clan members from all over the country and those aunts who have already married.
In the distance, the sound of pigs kept coming, and many butchers in the clan were already killing pigs.
Although the ancestral hall will not be enthroned until tomorrow, all the branch clan members and aunts will arrive today, so we have to prepare some food in the afternoon to entertain them. In addition, the enthronement ceremony tomorrow will be in the morning, so we must not wait until tomorrow to kill the pig, but we have to kill the pig one day in advance.
After all, some time-consuming dishes must be made one day in advance, otherwise it will be too late to wait until tomorrow.
In front of the stove built temporarily yesterday, many clan members were also burning fire and boiling water. They will use pig blood, pig heart, pig liver, pig tongue and other things to cook 20 to 30 pots of porridge, so that after the branch clan members and aunts from all over the country arrive, they can drink a few bowls of porridge before eating in the afternoon.
There are also clan members who come to help with the work today.
In the busyness, time soon came to noon, and those aunts and aunts who married out and the branch clan members from all over the country began to arrive one after another.
In later generations, when many surnames in Bobai held such a grand ancestral hall enthronement ceremony, the return of the married aunt to her parents' home was a very grand link.
After unified scheduling and arrangement, all the married sisters gathered in a certain place, wearing the same makeup, wearing the same red cheongsam, holding the same red oil-paper umbrella, holding various warm slogans, and carrying beautifully wrapped gifts, and walked towards their parents' home together.
Along the way, firecrackers blasted, gongs and drums sounded, dragons and lions danced, and the one or two kilometer-long team looked really amazing.
After returning to the village entrance and passing through the colorful gate, the etiquette team composed of sisters-in-law and the whole village stood in two rows to welcome them. The atmosphere was quite warm and full of ritual.
The more brilliant such links were, the more successful the ceremony of enthroning the ancestral hall would be, and it would also make people from other surnames talk about it with relish.
Originally, when the ancestral hall was enthroned, Deng Shirong also wanted to do this, but the transportation in this era was not comparable to that of later generations. It was really time-consuming and laborious to do it like in later generations. In addition, in addition to the aunts who married out, the ancestral hall of the Deng family in Naye also invited relatives from all over the country, which was different from the ancestral halls in later generations that only invited aunts who married out.
So, in the end, Deng Shirong gave up this laborious idea.
The earliest group of relatives to come was the Deng family of Xintian, Bobai. Six large trucks brought more than 200 clansmen.
After getting off the bus, many members of the Xintian Deng family held fireworks and firecrackers in their hands.
To participate in the ceremony of enthroning the ancestral hall, you don’t need to bring other gifts, but fireworks and firecrackers are indispensable.
Seeing the Deng family members of Xintian coming, Deng Shirong and the directors of the ancestral hall board of directors greeted them with a smile and said hello to each other.
Deng Changfa, the head of the Xintian Deng clan, greeted him immediately: "Jiugong, we meet again!"
Deng Shirong shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. The tea is ready. Come and have some tea, all clan members."
Deng Changfa said with a smile: "Jiugong, we will have some tea later. We are all very curious about what the ancestral hall looks like after it is built. Let's go and have a look first."
Deng Shirong said with a smile: "Okay, then we will have a look first. Our ancestral hall will not disappoint the clan members."
So, Deng Shirong and others led the Xintian Deng clan members to the new ancestral hall.
From a distance, we saw the magnificent new ancestral hall, and when we got closer, it was even more shocking.
The gilded "Deng Clan Ancestral Hall" signboard was shining, and the two emerald green stone lions in front of the ancestral hall were majestic and majestic. The two stone pillars supporting the door had intricate and exquisite carved patterns on them, and the porch and the wall were also carved with the same stone.
The two gates standing under the golden signboard are about 3 meters high each. The two figures embossed on them are lifelike, and even the beards are clearly carved.
On the left and right sides of the gate of the ancestral hall, there is written the most famous couplet of the Deng family:
Upper couplet: Nanyang has a long family lineage
Lower couplet: The Eastern Han family has a far-reaching reputation
This couplet is the common couplet of the Nanyang Hall of the Deng family ancestral hall.
The upper couplet is derived from the Deng family clan originated from Xinye County, Nanyang, Henan Province, and the lower couplet is derived from the history of the Deng family ancestor Deng Yu, a famous general at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The Deng family members, who are widely distributed in China, generally recognize Deng Yu, a founding hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as their distant ancestor.
Deng Yu was from Xinye, Nanyang County, Henan Province, and was a childhood classmate of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu. He followed Liu Xiu and made many military achievements. After Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty pacified the world, he conferred Deng Yu the title of Gaomi Hou. Since then, his portrait has been hung in the Hall of Meritorious Officials, and he is the head of the famous "Yuntai 28 Generals".
After crossing the threshold of nearly half a meter high, you will enter the hall. On a wooden screen, there are carved stories of the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars, such as "Lying on Ice to Pray for Carp" and "Crying to Bamboo to Make Bamboo Shoots Produce".
The layout and decoration inside the ancestral hall are really beautiful to the extreme, with various jade carvings, stone carvings, and wood and pottery carvings, and the exquisite craftsmanship is breathtaking.
Here are a few pictures for your reference, as shown below:
The clan members of the Deng family in Xintian exclaimed in amazement as they looked at it. The luxury of this ancestral hall completely exceeded their imagination. I am afraid it is just like the legendary palace, right?
Tribesmen such as Deng Changfa and Deng Changli, who had donated money and had seen the design renderings, were amazed in their hearts, but they were somewhat mentally prepared, so they were not as shocked as other tribesmen when they visited.
After walking, all the clan members came to the merit wall of the ancestral hall, and then they all gathered around the merit wall to look at it.
The first thing that catches the eye is the inscription of the ancestral hall, as shown below:
[This is the authentic inscription of the new ancestral hall of the Deng family in Naye]
After reading the preface to the stele, what caught everyone's eyes again was an oversized and long stele of family honors and merits, which read:
Descendant Deng Shirong and his family sincerely donated 188,888 yuan to honor the monument
Deng Shirong, grandson of the seventeenth generation (originally there are no symbols on the stele, but for the convenience of reading, punctuation marks are added), a native of Naye Village, ranked ninth, the grandson of the ancestor Qiangong, the great-great-grandson of Zongduangong, and the one with extraordinary merit.

To remember the ancestors and repay their kindness, the whole family sincerely donated 188,888 yuan to rebuild the ancestral hall, erect a monument to commemorate the memory, and the merits will be passed down for generations.
Behind them are the names of the family members, Xiaodong'er Deng Changli, Dongzi Deng Changdong, Zhu Shiba and Zhu Lichun, all prominently listed.
Deng Changfa and other members of the Xintian Deng family kept exclaiming when they were looking at this family merit tablet. Everything recorded in this merit tablet was really beyond their expectations. It can be said that it was extremely awesome.
According to the above records, Deng Shirong, the head of the family, created a miracle and led the whole family to become rich.
And his children were also very competitive. The eldest son was worth millions, the second son was an executive deputy county magistrate, the third son was studying at Tsinghua University, the fourth son and the youngest daughter were also big bosses, and the eldest son-in-law was also an official deputy county magistrate. This was really awesome.
Then, everyone continued to look at other family merit tablets. This time it was finally normal. Although the deeds recorded on it were better than those of ordinary members of the family, they were limited and within the normal range.
Some Xintian Deng family members looked at the family merit tablet here, and some Xintian Deng family members ran to the opposite side to look at the personal donation merit tablet. There was not much introduction to personal donations. It was just marked where they came from, their names, and the donation amount. It was very simple and clear.
When the Deng family members in Xintian were looking at the merit stele, Deng Shirong and others who accompanied them walked out of the ancestral hall. They visited this ancestral hall every day. They were not tired of it, but they did not feel the freshness at the beginning. It takes a lot of time to look at the merit stele, so they naturally did not have to accompany them all the time.
After the Deng family members in Xintian arrived, the branch clan members from other places also arrived one after another.
The first thing these clan members did after arriving was to go directly into the ancestral hall to visit without even having a sip of tea.
There is no doubt that they were all shocked by this magnificent and picturesque ancestral hall. When they saw the family merit stele, they were stunned by the situation of Deng Shirong, the clan leader. These branch clan members knew that the clan leader of the Deng family was rich.
Because when the ancestral hall was collecting donations the year before last, all the clan members from various branches sent people to participate. At that time, Deng Shirong, the clan leader, donated more than 370,000 yuan directly, which made the clan members who participated in it boast about it after returning. Therefore, Deng Shirong, the clan leader of the Naye Deng clan, is still very famous among the clan members from various branches.
However, these clan members really never thought that the clan leader of the Naye Deng clan would be so awesome.
In short, after reading the introduction of this family merit stele, these clan members looked at Deng Shirong, the respected clan leader, with different eyes after walking out of the ancestral hall, and each of them behaved much more respectfully than before.
Soon, these clan members who had visited the ancestral hall sat down to drink tea and chat at the invitation of the Naye Deng clan members. If anyone was hungry, there were large pots of pig blood porridge on the other table, and bowls and chopsticks were ready, so they could go and eat at any time.
Deng Changfa and other clan members who were well-known in each branch came to sit at the same table with Deng Shirong.
After greeting each other, Deng Changfa asked, "Mr. Jiu, will Uncle Yunheng come back to participate in the ancestral hall enthronement ceremony this time?"
Deng Shirong shook his head and said, "He won't come back. Although as a leader, it's okay to take a few days off, but in order not to affect his work, I haven't told him about the ancestral hall enthronement ceremony."
Deng Changfa nodded and said, "Yes, work is still important, but it's a pity that we didn't meet Uncle Yunheng."
Deng Shirong said, "There will always be a chance to meet him in the future. Besides, he is just an executive deputy now, not a great official."
Deng Changli smiled and said, "Mr. Jiu, you are too modest. He is the deputy county magistrate. For us, that is It's a big official, not to mention that Uncle Yunheng is still so young. We dare not imagine how big an official he will be in the future. "
Deng Shirong said: "If he was born in a high-ranking family, he might have a chance to become a high-ranking official, but he was born in a rural family, without any family background, and it's all up to his own efforts. It's still very difficult to become a high-ranking official. It depends on whether he has the fate.
Anyway, my requirements for him are very simple, as long as he does his job honestly and lives in peace. "
Deng Changsheng from Shahe took over and said: "Uncle Yunheng is so outstanding, even if he struggles on his own, I believe he can make a name for himself. "
Everyone talked about Deng Yunheng for a while, and then the topic moved to Deng Yunsong.
Deng Yunguo from Hepu Mansion said: "Uncle Jiu, what grade is your third son in Tsinghua now?"
Deng Shirong said: "He is in the third grade now."
Deng Yunguo said: "He will graduate the year after next, and he will be an outstanding official by then!"
Deng Changxing from Beiliucao nodded and said: "Tsinghua and Peking University are both universities of the same level. Uncle Yunheng graduated from Peking University and was able to serve as deputy county magistrate at such a young age. Uncle Yunsong must be not much worse after graduating from Tsinghua."
Deng Changqiang from Hepu Shankou exclaimed: "Jiugong now has a deputy county magistrate son and a deputy county magistrate son-in-law. If there is another one, it will be really amazing. Looking at the history of our Naye Deng family for hundreds of years, I am afraid that no one can be compared with you, Jiugong!"
Deng Shirong laughed and said: "You can't say that. Our Naye Deng family has many talents. In the future, all the brothers will be granted titles and appointed as prime ministers."
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
After chatting for a while, Deng Changsheng asked: "Jiugong, when we came here just now, we saw that the roadbed of this road in the village has been expanded more than ten times compared to the last time we came. What is such a large roadbed used for?"
Deng Shirong smiled and expressed his vision for the future: "This road in our village is going to be built into a tourist attraction. The reason why it is so large is not only for traffic, but also for serving as a temporary parking lot.
Nowadays, the country is developing faster and faster, and there are more and more rich people. I estimate that in ten or twenty years, cars will no longer be a rarity.
Our village will be built more and more beautifully in the future, and it is very likely to attract tourists from other places to come and visit. Then there will be more people and more cars. If this road is not enlarged, there will be frequent traffic jams, which will affect everyone's life. Lived. "
Deng Changsheng was dumbfounded after hearing this for a while before he said with conviction: "Jiu Gong, you are really amazing. Now you are already thinking about what will happen ten or twenty years later. Well, the Deng family has a leader like you. It’s hard not to prosper!”
"That's right, Uncle Jiu's vision is not comparable to that of ordinary people."
Deng Yungui said from his own experience: "I worked with Uncle Jiu to contract the tile kiln. At that time, the contract fee was 100 yuan a year. I advocated a 20-year contract, but Uncle Jiu said that a 10-year contract was enough because the times were developing too fast. , I don’t know when something that can replace cylinder tiles will appear, and then the cylinder tile business will become more and more difficult to do, and the contracting time will not be cost-effective.
To be honest, when I heard this, I didn’t really believe it.
As a result, Uncle Jiu was right. Now there are many products on the market that can replace cylinder tiles. The cylinder tile factory we contracted is indeed becoming more and more difficult to operate. It is estimated that if we work for another year or two, we will really have to work. Lost money. "
When the other branch clan members heard this, they were filled with admiration.
At this moment, Deng Shirong, the leader of the clan, was already the embodiment of wisdom in their eyes.
He is able to lead the whole clan to make a fortune, and his children are also more powerful than the others. Who can not admire such an awesome clan leader?
…
At four o'clock in the afternoon, as the last batch of clan members arrived, all the clan clansmen of all branches arrived.
According to statistics, the number of branch clan members arriving has reached more than 1,800, setting a historical record for branch clan members gathering at their ancestral homeland.
The arrival of so many clan brothers made the Nayedeng clan feel even more proud.
Especially after these clan brothers saw this majestic, extremely exquisite and beautiful ancestral hall, and the jaw-dropping family merit monument of the head of the Naye Deng clan, they were all envious of the people of the Naye ancestral land, and wished they could Become a member of the Ancestral Tribe.
This kind of unabashed envy makes the people of the Nayedeng clan feel secretly happy, and they also feel proud of being a member of the Nayedeng clan.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, at the entrance of the new ancestral hall, Naye Deng set up a total of 250 tables.
There were no chickens or ducks killed today. The main dish was pigs, supplemented by various side dishes. Overall, the dishes were very rich.
In addition to eating, many clan members also had a few drinks with the drinking aunts and clan members from various places. It didn’t matter how the clan members and aunts drank, but the clan members drank more restrainedly, mainly because they drank more restrainedly. If you are staying here at night, you must not drink too much, otherwise you will cause trouble to others.
Tomorrow, you can drink as much as you want. Even if you get drunk, your brothers in the clan will take them home, so you don't have to bother the clansmen in the ancestral land.
Because I drank more restrainedly, the meal didn't take too long. The meal started at 4:30 and the battle ended at 5:00.
Then, the directors of the ancestral hall council arranged for these clan brothers to live in various households.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, before dawn, the Yedeng clan got up and got busy.
Today, every household does not open fire and goes to the ancestral hall to have breakfast.
Of course, breakfast is just simple white porridge with pickles, the purpose is to fill everyone's stomach, and lunch is the time to eat and drink.
When the ancestral hall is raised, gongs and drums are played, and dragon and lion dances are indispensable.
The team responsible for the dragon and lion dances has already been invited. It is a relatively famous team in Longtan Town next door.
Because it’s not that far away, I didn’t come here yesterday, but came here early this morning.
The enthronement ceremony of the Bobai Hakka family includes three processes: welcoming the dragon, offering incense, and worshiping.
The first is the dragon welcoming ceremony.
At nine o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall. The leader of the clan, Deng Shirong, gave a brief speech. Then the clan members, together with their married aunt and relatives from all over the country, set off from the ancestral hall to the back hill of the village. Welcome the dragon.
After arriving at the designated dragon welcoming location, the officiating mage will preside over the dragon welcoming ceremony.
After the dragon welcoming ceremony is over, the tribesmen and clan members welcome the "dragon" back to the ancestral hall.
After welcoming the dragon back, lion dance and dragon dance performances are held at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
At the auspicious hour of eleven o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered in the ancestral hall and started the incense ceremony.
The ceremony of entering the incense burner is solemn and sacred, which embodies the reverence of the Nayedeng clan, the married aunt, and branch clan members from all over the country for their ancestors, as well as the spirit of remembering the source when drinking water, pursuing the past with caution, and carrying forward the ancestral precepts.
After the incense burning ceremony was over, ancestor worship began and sacrificial inscriptions were recited.
If you want your clan members' names to be included in this memorial, you have to donate 20 yuan separately. Basically no one will save this money.
The entire enthronement ceremony was held until nearly one o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, fireworks and firecrackers were set off from time to time. More than 5,000 people participated in the enthronement ceremony of the ancestral hall. The scene was really lively.
All this was recorded with the camera by the photographers invited by the ancestral hall council.
After the enthronement ceremony is over, the next step is the part that everyone loves to see - eating and drinking.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Deng Yunguo from Fenhepu Mansion asked: "Uncle Jiu, will the food company you founded process pork in the future?"
Deng Shirong replied: "It should be possible."
Deng Yunguo smiled and said: "Uncle Jiu, if your food company needs to process pork and needs to purchase live pigs, please take care of my nephew's business. I have thousands of pigs in my pig farm now!"
Deng Shirong nodded and smiled: "Of course there is no problem. I will tell them that when our food company processes pork, they will contact you."
"Thank you, Uncle Jiu, I toast you."
"You're welcome. We are all brothers of the same clan. We should help if we can."
Seeing this, the other clansmen at the same table were moved and sought cooperation opportunities from Deng Shirong, the head of the Naye Deng clan. They were all outstanding among the clansmen in each branch and operated different industries. Some industries were difficult to have opportunities to intersect, but some industries had opportunities for cooperation.
For example, the clan members who run packaging carton factories, oil mills, flour mills and other businesses have a basis for cooperation with the food company of Naye Deng.
Deng Shirong said: "Dear clan members, we are all brothers of the same clan. We will help if we can. However, the food company already has partners. If you want to replace these partners, your products must at least have price advantages. You should understand this, right?"
Deng Changzhen, who runs an oil mill, smiled and said: "That's for sure. Cooperation must be beneficial to both parties in order to last. If you, Jiugong, give up cheap products and choose more expensive products, we can't say it. Don't you think so?"
"Yes, if the same product is sold at a higher price than others, then this cooperation is meaningless."
"Jiugong, we still know a little about business matters. Under the same conditions, it's good enough to take care of our clan members. . "
"If the price is not cheaper than others, I am embarrassed to ask you for cooperation."
"..."
Deng Shirong heard that these clan members understood what he meant, so he smiled and said: "Okay, I will have someone contact you later, and we will work together to make a fortune together."
"Thank you, Jiugong."
"Jiugong, I respect you."
"Jiugong, if you need us in the future, just give us a call. No matter whether it is going through a knife mountain or a frying pan, we will never frown. "
"Jiugong..."
All the clan members were excited. They had learned about it in detail and knew how powerful the food company of Naye Deng was. Once they had a relationship with the food company, it would be like having one more super big customer. The products basically don't have to worry about sales. This is the rhythm of taking off.
This meal lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon.
Before leaving, all the clan members came to greet Deng Shirong, the clan leader.
"Jiugong, we'll go back first."
"Jiugong, if you come to our Shankou, be sure to contact me."
"Jiugong, our Shahe clan welcomes your arrival."
"Jiugong..."
When Deng Changfa came over to say hello, he asked by the way: "Jiugong, the Deng family in Naye hasn't worshipped their ancestors for many years. I wonder if the clan has any plans to worship their ancestors recently?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "You asked a coincidence. If nothing unexpected happens, our Deng family in Naye will resume worshipping their ancestors next year. We will send someone to notify all clan members in advance."
Deng Changfa said happily: "Then I will definitely come again during Qingming Festival next year. I will kowtow to the old ancestor a few more times and bless our descendants of the Deng family to always be as close as a family and prosper."
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Well, the old ancestor will bless us if he knows."
Then, the two sides chatted for a few more words, and Deng Changfa took more than 200 clan members and returned to Xintian by car.
After saying hello, the clan members from other places also got on their cars and went home.
The clan members from all over the country left, and many aunts and elder sisters also wanted to go back. Some aunts also planned to stay for a few more days as it was a rare opportunity to return to their parents' home.
The clan members were naturally responsible for the finishing work, and Deng Shirong, the clan leader, did not have to worry about it.
After returning to the clan, the clan members from all over the country boasted to those clan members who did not attend the ancestral hall enthronement ceremony. The ancestral hall was originally built very beautifully, and after these clan members exaggerated and boasted, it was no longer an ordinary ancestral hall, but like a palace of immortals.
In addition, the family merit tablet of Deng Shirong, the clan leader of the Naye Deng clan, was also boasted by these clan members, which stunned those clan members who did not attend the Naye Deng clan ancestral hall enthronement ceremony and regretted not signing up to participate in this rare grand ceremony.
…
Deng Shirong and others did not stay in their hometown for long. On the afternoon of the day when the ancestral hall enthronement ceremony ended, they took a car to Bobai.
Just a few minutes after arriving at Suifeng Hotel, I happened to receive a call from Deng Yunheng.
The father and son exchanged a few words of greeting, and then Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Yunheng, when I was on the train a few days ago, I met a very nice girl on the train. She is from Wuhan, Hubei, named Gu Caiwei, 22 years old, just graduated from college this year, and is an embroidery master.
She has a gentle personality, and her figure and appearance are no worse than your sister-in-law. Because of her good family background and long-term practice of embroidery skills, she has cultivated an extraordinary temperament like those ladies from ancient times.
In short, this is a very outstanding girl.
I have already got her mailing address for you, and told her and her mother about your situation. Now her mother and I want you to keep in touch as pen pals. It would be great if we can get along, but if not, just be friends. "
This chattering made Deng Yunheng confused.
When he came to his senses, Deng Yunheng said with a smile: "Dad, I'm not that old, you don't have to be so anxious to find a wife for me."
Deng Shirong said: "I'm not in a hurry to find a wife for you, but I just happened to meet her, and I thought she was a good match for you, so I wanted to match you up. Your elder brother, sister-in-law, Azhu and Xiaohua have also seen it, and they all agreed.
I've asked Azhu to take a photo of the girl for you, and I'll ask her to send it to you later. After you receive the letter, see if it meets your requirements. "
Deng Yunheng actually believed in his father's vision very much. After all, the example of his eldest sister-in-law was there. Since his father said that this girl Gu Caiwei's figure and appearance were not worse than his eldest sister-in-law, and her temperament was even better, it proved that this girl was indeed very outstanding.
Therefore, Deng Yunheng did not resist, but responded: "Okay, then I will take a look at it then."
"Take paper and pen, I will tell you the girl's mailing address, you write it down."
"Well, I have paper and pen, Dad, tell me!"
After Deng Shirong told his second son Gu Caiwei's mailing address, he said: "When writing to others, remember to be more proactive. If there is any situation, contact me as soon as possible, and try to win this girl. She will definitely be your good wife."
Deng Yunheng said seriously: "I know, Dad, I will try my best, but this kind of thing requires mutual affection. I have to be willing but the other party has to be willing. ”
Deng Shirong said: "It can be seen that the girl has a good impression of you. Her mother and uncle are also optimistic about you. The foundation for dating is there. As for whether you can get along, it depends on whether you have the same three views. ”
Deng Yunheng asked: "Dad, what are the three views?"
At this time, there was no concept of the three views, and it was normal for him not to know.
Deng Shirong explained: "The three views refer to the world view, life view and value view. If you have the same three views, you will feel more comfortable getting along with each other. If the three views are different, even if there are no problems in the short term, there will be problems after a long time of getting along. ”
Deng Yunheng sighed: "Dad, you know a lot. I graduated from Peking University after all, but I don't know as much as you do in many things. ”
"What's so strange about this? I have eaten 28 years more than you, and I have seen and heard more things. This is something that has settled over time. It has nothing to do with the level of education. When you get older, you will naturally know more than me. ”
Speaking of this, Deng Shirong asked again: "How is your work? Is it going well? ”
Deng Yunheng said: "My work is going well. This year, I have vigorously promoted fishermen to build shrimp breeding bases. So far, it has achieved great success. The first batch of fishermen have made money. Now the scale of shrimp breeding continues to grow and develop, which has greatly promoted the development of the local economy.
When I went to the city for a meeting before, the leaders above praised me. If everything goes well, I estimate that my level will be raised next year. ”
Deng Shirong said: "I can't help you with your work. In short, you must always remember that no matter how great your achievements are, you must guard against arrogance and impatience, and you must take steady steps and go forward step by step. Only in this way can you go long-term. ”
Deng Yunheng said: "Dad, I know, I will always keep it in mind. ”
Deng Shirong said: "Today, the ancestral hall is enthroned. I didn't notify you in advance because I didn't want to disturb your work. More than 1,800 relatives from various branches came, and most of the married aunts and sisters came back. The scene was very lively. ”
Deng Yunheng said: "So many people from the branches of the clan have come. It seems that under your leadership, the influence of our Naye Deng family is getting bigger and bigger. Is the development of the instant noodle factory going smoothly? I think people in Fuqing County can eat the instant noodles produced by our instant noodle factory."
Deng Shirong said: "It's going smoothly. The factory in Tianjin is almost built and will be officially put into production at the beginning of next year. By then, the daily output of our instant noodle factory will exceed 3 million packs. If we can sell all of them, we will really make a lot of money."
Deng Yunheng said with emotion: "Dad, your business talent is really too strong."
Deng Shirong said: "I don't have any business talent. Now the spring breeze of reform and opening up has blown all over the land of the motherland. As long as you stand at the vent of the development of the times, even a pig can fly. This is not my ability."
Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "Dad, you don't have to be modest. I don't deny that there are factors of the development of the times, but there are so many people doing business in our country now. Everyone is standing at the same vent. Why can't they fly? Only you can lead the clan members to fly? "
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Now our Naye Deng family has indeed successfully flown up. The most important thing next is to land safely. Only in this way can it be called a success. If the wind suddenly stops one day and you fall down and die, then there is no point in flying high."
Deng Yunheng exclaimed, "Dad, what you said is so philosophical!"
Deng Shirong said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. You have to pay more attention to this girl Xiao Gu and try your best to take her down. Do you understand?"
Seeing his father's concern, Deng Yunheng realized that his father really thought highly of this girl. He said solemnly again: "Dad, I know. I will do my best."
Then, the father and son chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
