Chapter 393 Deng Yunheng, the Youngest Deputy Director in the Country!
More than ten days passed in a flash.
After the Spring Equinox, the whole of Bobai becomes busy again with ancestor worship and shoveling mountains.
As mentioned before, according to the customs here, whether you worship your ancestors or not, once you worship your ancestors, you have to worship them for three consecutive years, and there is no one who only worships them for one year.
The Ye Deng family started worshiping their ancestors last year, so as long as something unstoppable does not happen, they will definitely continue to worship their ancestors this year and next.
After last year's ancestor worship ceremony, the entire Naye Deng family, from the elderly to the younger generations, basically understood the general process.
In addition, with Deng Yungui and a group of directors here, there was no need for Deng Shirong, the clan leader, to worry about, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
Before the ancestor worship, the second son, who was promoted to the county magistrate, was busier than before, so naturally he could not come back to participate in the ancestor worship.
Therefore, the newlywed Gu Caiwei could only fly back alone.
For a clan, the more people pay attention to ancestor worship, the stronger the cohesion of the clan will be. Needless to say, the cohesiveness of the Nayedeng clan now can be said to have been since the founder of the Nayedeng clan was founded here. There has never been a stronger moment of cohesion than now.
Therefore, on the day of ancestor worship, as long as they are working in Guangxi, they will rush back to participate if possible. Unless they are the kind of tribesmen who work in public institutions and cannot take time off, they will be absent from ancestor worship. ceremony.
In addition, there are also aunts and sisters who are married outside, and they all rush back to participate in ancestor worship.
Not to mention the clan members from all over the country, more people came to participate in ancestor worship than last year.
This is also a powerful testimony to the prosperity of the clan.
Not every place attaches as much importance to ancestor worship during the Qingming Festival as Guangdong and Guangxi. For example, Gu Caiwei’s natal family does not attach so much importance to this aspect.
Seeing thousands of people gathered together, Gu Caiwei was shocked and asked Zhang Xiuping standing next to her in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, are ancestor worship here so grand?"
Zhang Xiuping said with a smile: "It's quite grand, but in the entire Shuangwang Township, our Yedeng family is the most solemn in worshiping their ancestors. I heard that other surnames will also start worshiping their ancestors this year, but the number of people participating in the ancestor worship will definitely not be as high as ours." Yadeng's ratio."
Gu Caiwei asked: "Why is this? Are there not as many people with other surnames as ours?"
Zhang Xiuping said: "For this reason, our Naye Deng family is second only to the Chen surname in Shuangwang Township, but now the Chen surname is not as cohesive as our Deng surname. The most they can worship their ancestors is the Chen surname in Shuangwang Township." If you participate, people surnamed Chen from other towns may not come.
But our Yedeng family is different. Not only the clan members from Bobai County, but also clan members from other counties will come to participate, so the number of people is naturally large. "
Gu Caiwei blinked: "Is it because the economic conditions of our Yedeng family are relatively good, so the clan members from other places are willing to come here to participate in ancestor worship?"
Zhang Xiuping covered her mouth and smiled: "You can also say that."
This is indeed the case. If the Naye Deng clan hadn't been getting richer and developing better and better, then the clan members from all over the country would definitely not be so active in participating in various clan activities such as ancestor worship.
We can’t blame the clan members from all over the world. If the economic conditions of the Naye Deng clan were still the same as ten years ago, it would be difficult for clan members from all over the country to even provide simple entertainment. Under such circumstances, if the clan members from all over the world still send so many people over, that’s not right. Will it increase the burden on Naye Deng?
At that time, the clan members from all over the country will not send so many people over due to circumstances. At most, they will just send a few representatives to participate.
In the next few days, the grand ancestor worship activities opened Gu Caiwei's eyes, and at the same time made other surnames who had experienced it last year envious.
Nowadays, the power of the Naye Deng clan is indeed unmatched by anyone in the entire Shuangwang Township.
Of course, influenced by the Naye Deng family, this year Zhouwang Chen family, Naqing Liu family, Baiping Jiang family and other surnames have also begun to worship their ancestors.
Throughout Shuangwang Township, a large number of large trucks rush back and forth almost every day. The trucks are all decorated with family name flags. People on the trucks beat gongs and drums from time to time. The entire Shuangwang Township is enveloped in the special atmosphere of ancestor worship during the Qingming Festival. With.
After offering sacrifices to Dazhong Mountain, they then continued to shovel the Family Mountain.
In the morning, Deng Shirong took his son and daughter-in-law to shovel the mountain of the older generation. In the afternoon, he took them to Dawodu opposite to shovel his parents and his deceased wife.
When shoveling his parents' graves, Deng Shirong said to his parents as usual: "Dad, Mom, you have another granddaughter-in-law this year. She is Yunheng's wife. Her name is Gu Caiwei. She is a virtuous person like the eldest granddaughter-in-law. In the future, you will have a daughter-in-law." Bless her well, and bless our family to become more and more prosperous.”
Gu Caiwei also knelt down and said: "Grandpa and grandma, I am your second grandson's daughter-in-law. I will work hard to be a qualified Deng family's daughter-in-law in the future. I hope you have spirits in heaven to bless me and allow me to flourish for the Deng family as soon as possible." , give birth to a big fat son.”
Others also said a few words.
This is also what Deng Shirong has been taking the lead in the past few years. Every year when shoveling the mountain, he will take the lead and say a few words. His sons, daughters-in-law follow suit, and they are all used to saying a few words to their ancestors when shoveling the mountain.
After shoveling his parents, the last person to shovel out was Deng Shirong's late wife.
After cleaning up the weeds around the tomb, placing sacrifices, and lighting incense, Deng Shirong said: "Old lady, our Yunheng family is blessed with double happiness this year. He is now the county magistrate of Fuqing County. After marrying a virtuous and virtuous wife, our second daughter-in-law’s name is Gu Caiwei, you must remember it!”
Gu Caiwei knelt down as usual and said, "Mom, I am your second daughter-in-law. I am sorry that I have not been able to meet you. I have heard from Yunheng about your virtue. In the future, I must learn from you, support my husband and children, and be a qualified daughter-in-law of the Deng family."
Then, Deng Yuntai and others also spoke a few words to their mother one by one.
Their mother is a very kind woman. Since she married into their Deng family, she has never quarreled with anyone, nor has she beaten or scolded her children. To this day, when the villagers mention Aunt Jiu or Grandma Jiu, they have a very good impression of her.
After paying tribute to his deceased wife, Deng Shirong sighed and said, "I don't know if your uncle is still alive. There has been no news for decades. No one has seen him alive or dead. Even if you want to build a tomb for him, it's hard to build one."
Deng Yuntai asked, "Dad, which camp did your uncle join when he joined the army?"
Deng Shirong said, "Of course, it's our current camp."
Deng Yuntai sighed, "Then your uncle is probably gone. If he joined the opposite camp, he might have been dragged to Taiwan and couldn't come back. But since he joined our camp, how could there be no news after liberation?"
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "It's likely that he died, but there is no definite news, so this tomb can't be built."
Deng Yunhua asked, "Dad, did your uncle lose contact directly after joining the army? Didn't he send a letter back?"
Deng Shirong said, "I was still young at that time and didn't know the details. Your uncle seemed to have asked someone to bring back a message in the first year of joining the army. Your grandfather didn't tell me much about the details, and didn't allow me to ask more, so I don't know much about you. I don't know anything about my uncle's situation. "
Deng Yunheng said: "What's going on? Whether he died or not, there shouldn't be no news at all, right?"
Deng Shirong said: "There were people in the village who joined the army back then. After they died, someone would come to their homes to notify them, but there was no news about your uncle. I don't understand what happened."
Gu Caiwei continued: "Dad, have you asked the armed forces?"
Deng Shirong said: "I asked, but there was no answer. I guess your uncle should have entered the secret front to work. As for why there is no news until now, I can't think of a reasonable explanation. Maybe there was an accident back then?"
Deng Yuntai said: "No matter what happened back then, it is estimated that my uncle has died, otherwise it is impossible that there is no news after so many years."
Deng Shirong said: "Forget it, don't mention it. When your uncle reaches the age of 100, I will build a tomb for him!"
...
After shoveling the mountain, the sons and daughters-in-law left their hometown one after another, while Deng Shirong stayed in the village.
Now, on both sides of the newly dug river channel of the Deng family in Naye, not only have the decorative boulders been filled, but also the weeping willows used for greening have been planted. The river water is officially flowing to this new river channel, and the original river sections that are no longer in use have also been filled.
Deng Shirong has made a contribution to such a fast speed. Last year, he used his space ability to secretly fill the boulders on both sides of the river channel, which accelerated the speed of the tribesmen filling the boulders.
As for the ginkgo trees, only a part of them have been transplanted for the time being. Deng Shirong plans to transplant them slowly over several years. There is no rush.
There are also villa complexes and sewage treatment plants under construction in full swing. Basically, all the laborers who stayed in their hometowns have participated in them, and the construction progress is still very fast.
The Deng Group has also begun to develop rapidly. There is no need to say much about the original Master Kong instant noodles and eight-treasure porridge. Under the guidance of Deng Shirong, the group has established a mineral water company called Nongfu Spring, and sent a team to Changbai Mountain to find high-quality water sources, preparing to start building the first water source base of Nongfu Spring.
In addition, the formula of Wanglaoji herbal tea is also being improved, and Master Kong iced black tea is also being developed.
In addition, the Deng Group’s headquarters will be built in Nanning. Even though the Deng Group’s current revenue is very good, the cash it has is not enough to support such a large expenditure.
Let alone other things, just the water source base in Changbai Mountain, if you want to build it, you need to invest at least hundreds of millions or even more funds.
Of course, this can be divided into the first, second and third phases of the project, so you don’t have to invest so much money at one time.
However, building the Deng Group is also a very large investment.
Although this group headquarters is only used temporarily, at most more than ten years, when the Deng Group really grows and develops, it will have to replace the new headquarters, but the construction of this headquarters cannot be too sloppy.
After all, it will be used for more than ten years, and the momentum should still be there.
Therefore, the Deng Group, which is short of funds, can only borrow money from the bank.
In this regard, the bank is very happy, because such a high-quality enterprise as the Deng Group is the best partner of the bank, whether now or in the future. Lending money to such an enterprise is just two words-rest assured!
…
Deng Shirong, who stayed in his hometown, was not idle. He rode his motorcycle around all day. Today he went to Baiping Village, tomorrow he went to Hanhe Village, and the day after tomorrow he went to Naqing Village.
In short, he went around everywhere. Every time he went to a village, he would buy chickens, ducks, geese, eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and even various fresh vegetables.
These chickens, ducks, and geese must all be those that have been raised for more than a year. In fact, the longer they are raised, the more he likes them.
He also wants to buy big fish, eels, snails, cattle, goats, frogs, various fresh fruits, and even rice.
In the following month, Deng Shirong not only ran around the villages of Shuangwang, but also went to Longtan, Shabei, Songwang and other neighboring towns, all of which were to purchase these things without exception.
Deng Shirong did this not for business, but for the sake of future food safety.
In later generations, the most heartbreaking and helpless thing for the Chinese people was the issue of food safety. There were really few foods on the market that were truly safe. They either had pesticide residues, contained various hormones, or had carcinogens.
In short, there were really few foods that people could eat with confidence.
The impact on adults might not be that great, but when children ate these problematic foods, all kinds of problems would arise.
Deng Shirong certainly couldn't control these. What he could do was to take advantage of the fact that the food in the countryside was pollution-free and stockpile enough for his family to eat for a lifetime. By then, he wouldn't be able to control others, but his family would still be able to eat safe food.
While Deng Shirong was running back and forth in the towns of his hometown to purchase food, Deng Yunheng, who was far away in Fuqing County, Fujian, welcomed the biggest opportunity of his life.
The documents were issued from above, Fuqing abolished the county and established a city, and became a county-level (city) from now on, directly under the jurisdiction of the provincial capital.
With this change, the administrative level of other people did not change, but Deng Yunheng, as the magistrate of Fuqing County, took advantage of this great opportunity and skipped the level of department, which was originally going to be a level of struggle for another two or three years, and directly became a regular.
He became the youngest deputy director in the country.
Such a change, not to mention that others did not expect it, even Deng Yunheng himself did not expect it.
Countless people were envious and their eyes turned red. Others fought hard and could not get up a step, but Deng Yunheng did nothing and won directly, climbing up a step that countless people could not get up in their entire lives.
Such a huge opportunity, who can not be jealous?
However, this kind of thing, no matter how envious or jealous it is, it is useless.
The fact that they caught this express train is a combination of their ability and luck. No matter what industry you are in, luck is very important.
