Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

"grandfather!"

Suifeng Hotel.

Seeing Deng Shirong's figure, Xiaodong'er and Dongzi both rushed towards him with happy faces.

Deng Shirong laughed and hugged one with each other, and asked: "Xiao Dong'er, Dongzi, are you good in the kindergarten today?"

Xiao Dong'er said proudly: "Grandpa, the teacher praised me again today."

"Really? What did the teacher praise you for?"

"I took a nap obediently, and the teacher praised me."

Dongzi said unhappily: "I also took a nap obediently, but the teacher didn't even praise me."

"The teacher doesn't praise you, but grandpa praises you."

After talking to his grandchildren for a few words, Deng Shirong greeted Zhang's mother: "My mother-in-law."

Mother Zhang smiled and asked, "When did the in-laws come back?"

Deng Shirong said: "I just came back. My parents have been working hard during this period."

"The in-laws are too polite. They just pick up and take care of the children. What's the trouble?"

At this point, Zhang's mother couldn't help but ask: "In-laws, do you know the mother of Dongzi's classmate Chen Guosheng?"

Hearing this, Deng Shirong shook his head and said: "This is the first time I have heard the name of my classmate Dongzi. I really don't know who his mother is. My mother-in-law, why did you suddenly ask about this? It was Dongzi who was bullied by his classmate. ?"

Zhang's mother waved her hand and said, "It's none of Dongzi's business. I asked about it mainly because I just met Dongzi, the aunt of my classmate, in the kindergarten. This girl is pretty good-looking. I wanted to find out about his classmate's mother. If possible, I would like to arrange a match for my Xiaojun."

"So this is ah!"

Deng Shirong suddenly realized, and then nodded and said: "Xiaojun is indeed not young. I have been keeping an eye on him during this period, but I have never met a suitable candidate. Since my mother-in-law has a candidate that you like, let me leave this matter to you. Give it to me, I will take Dongzi and the others to kindergarten tomorrow, and then talk to his classmates’ parents about this matter.”

Zhang's mother said happily: "If your in-laws come forward, I will feel relieved."

…

night.

Naye Deng's community.

Deng Yunzhen sat sideways on the soft leather sofa with her belly full, and asked her father: "Dad, how is the business of Azhu's hot pot restaurant opening?"

Deng Shirong said: "It's not bad. The turnover on the first day of opening was more than 2,200. The business on the second day was even better, with a turnover of almost 2,500. On the third day, although it dropped a lot, it was still good. Over two thousand.”

Deng Yunzhen asked: "Dad, how much is the gross profit of this hot pot restaurant?"

Deng Shirong said: "About 70%."

Deng Yunzhen did some mental calculation and said: "That's good. If you can maintain this turnover, you can easily earn more than a thousand yuan a day, which is hundreds of thousands a year. This is comparable to when Suifeng Hotel first opened. Much better.

If you run the business for a period of time and completely develop your reputation, it is possible to make millions a year. "

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "This cannot be compared like this. When Suifeng Hotel opened, how many years had it been since the reform and opening up? At that time, there were only a handful of people with money, but now the reform and opening up has reached its 10th year. , There are more and more people who are getting rich first. In addition, hot pot restaurants started in the capital of Guangxi, so it is normal that they are better than restaurants in the county. "

Deng Yunzhen nodded, then smiled and said: "The hot pot restaurant is making so much money, I don't know how happy Ah Zhu, a little money lover, must be."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Anyway, I have provided her with the best platform and taught her how to run a hot pot restaurant. How far she can develop in the future depends on her own abilities. As a father, I That’s all I can help with.”

Deng Yunzhen said: "Dad, you have done a good enough job. There are still many people in the countryside who have to think twice about eating a meal of white rice. But our brothers and sisters at least earn hundreds of thousands a year. Who in Bobai Don’t you envy us?”

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "The shops in Nanning are better than those here in the county. Dad treats us brothers and sisters equally. When your elder brother and sister-in-law open more supermarkets, the Yongjia Supermarket here in the county will be given to you." , with this building, it can barely compare with the one-story shop in Nanning. "

Deng Yunzhen shook her head quickly and said: "Dad, no need, I have this Suifeng Hotel and I am completely satisfied."

Deng Shirong said: "You have paid too much for your family before. Ajie's identity is destined not to go out with you to do business. In the future, you will definitely not have as much money as other brothers. Dad can only prepare more for you to ensure that you can live a good life." A wealthy life with no worries about food and clothing.”

Deng Yunzhen said with a smile: "Dad, I am now a rich woman, and Suifeng Hotel has an income of hundreds of thousands a year!"

Deng Shirong said: "Okay, don't refuse. It's not like I give Yongjia Supermarket to you now. I have to wait until your eldest brother and sister-in-law make the supermarket chain bigger and stronger. Then a supermarket in the county will be more important to your eldest brother." It’s nothing to my sister-in-law.”

Deng Yunzhen was deeply moved by her father's love and care. Although she had many children, she was still thinking about making money for her married daughter. Apart from her father, Bobai probably would never find another father like this. .

"Dad, you are so kind!"

…

The next day.

In order not to miss the parents of Chen Guosheng's children, Deng Shirong sent his grandchildren to kindergarten early.

After the grandchildren entered, Deng Shirong smiled and said to Dongzi's teacher: "Teacher Mo, I have something to do with the parents of child Chen Guosheng. I will wait nearby. When the parents of child Chen Guosheng come, can you please help me?" Please introduce me, thank you!”

Although Teacher Mo was a little curious, he didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, Grandpa Deng Changdong, I will introduce you to them when they arrive."

Deng Shirong thanked him again and then waited at the entrance of the kindergarten.

Soon, parents came one after another with their children, and many of them knew Deng Shirong. It was inevitable for everyone to say hello and chat for a while.

About ten minutes later, Teacher Mo shouted: "Grandpa Deng Changdong."

Deng Shirong immediately walked over and said, "Teacher Mo."

"Grandpa Deng Changdong, let me introduce to you, this is Chen Guosheng's mother."

After the introduction, Teacher Mo said to Chen Guosheng's mother: "Chen Guosheng's mother, Grandpa Deng Changdong said that he has something to do with you."

Chen Guosheng's mother is a charming young woman. When she heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes and she asked: "Grandpa Deng, what do you want to see me for?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Mother Chen, I want to ask you about something, but this is not the place to talk. I would like to treat you to breakfast. Can we chat while eating?"

Chen Guosheng's mother was also going to have breakfast, so she nodded and said, "Of course."

Of course, it was only because she saw that Deng Shirong was a grandfather that she agreed so readily. If the other person was not much different in age from her, she would not dare to go to breakfast with him casually, as it would easily cause misunderstandings.

Soon, the two walked to a nearby noodle stall.

After ordering the powder, Chen Guosheng's mother asked curiously: "Grandpa Deng, what do you want to ask me about?"

Deng Shirong said: "It's like this. When school was over yesterday afternoon, your sister came to pick up the children for you. Then an aunt took a fancy to your sister and thought that your sister was a good match for her son, so she asked me to Come over and ask to see if your sister has a partner."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen suddenly realized that someone had taken a fancy to her sister and asked someone to act as a matchmaker.

Mother Chen immediately brightened up and said with a smile: "Grandpa Deng, my sister doesn't have a partner yet. I wonder which aunt has taken a fancy to my sister?"

Deng Shirong also became energetic. If the woman has no partner yet, then this matter will be easier to handle. He immediately said: "Mother Chen, let's introduce the situation to each other and see if your sister is compatible with this aunt's son?"

Mother Chen said with great interest: "Okay, you come first or should I come first?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Just some simple information, whoever comes first is fine."

Mother Chen nodded and said, "Yes. Let me briefly introduce my sister first. She is from Yulin. She is 21 years old. She is an employee of a packaging carton factory and has a junior high school education."

Deng Shirong said: "The man is from Bobai Longtan Town. He is 24 years old this year. His family runs a wooden clothespin factory and he is currently helping to work in his own factory. He has a primary school education. In addition to his slightly lower academic qualifications, the young man is not tall in terms of height. They both look good, and they should be a good match for your sister.”

When Mother Chen heard that the husband's family owned a factory, she became a little interested and asked, "Grandpa Deng, how many brothers and sisters do the husband have in his family?"

Deng Shirong said: "He has five brothers and sisters. The eldest brother and second brother have already married, and his sister is also married. Only he and his brother are not married yet."

Mother Chen asked: "Grandpa Deng, is the man in Longtan now?"

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Yes, it's in Longtan, but if necessary, just call him back and he can come up in the car at any time. After all, the factory is run by his own family and he has free working hours."

Mother Chen smiled and said, "That's true. In the factory we run, of course we have free working hours."

At this time, the fans of the two people had been sent to them.

Deng Shirong picked up the chopsticks and asked, "Mother Chen, have you met my daughter-in-law?"

The topic was a little jumpy. Although Mrs. Chen didn't understand what it meant, she still nodded and said, "I've seen him a few times."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Mother Chen, do you think my daughter-in-law here looks okay?"

Mother Chen felt even more strange when she heard this. However, she said that the mother of Deng Changdong’s child was really beautiful and very elegant. She was not an ordinary person at first glance. She directly praised: "Grandpa Deng, your wife here is really good-looking." Beautiful, even my son said that Deng Changdong’s mother is the most beautiful mother.”

Deng Shirong took a mouthful of rice noodles and said with a smile: "Mother Chen, the man I just told you is actually the biological brother of my daughter-in-law here. I mentioned my daughter-in-law to you just to give you a reference in terms of appearance."

Mother Chen became even more concerned after hearing this. Although there are many brothers and sisters who look very different, one brother or sister is obviously very good-looking, but the other brother or sister is indescribable, but most of the biological brothers and sisters are actually The difference is not very big.

Deng Changdong's mother is so beautiful, so her biological brother should not be much different. It is probably as Grandpa Deng Changdong said. He is tall and looks good, and he is really worthy of her sister.

Thinking of this, Mother Chen asked: "Grandpa Deng, I wonder what Uncle Deng Changdong's character is like?"

Deng Shirong said: "He also has a pretty good personality. Before his family opened a factory, they ran a grocery store on Longtan Street. At that time, he had been helping the family with work. He did not make trouble all day long like those idle people in today's society. , is a person who lives a down-to-earth life.”

Mother Chen said with satisfaction: "Grandpa Deng, I understand the general situation you mentioned. I will talk to my sister about this matter when I go back later to see what she thinks. I will tell you when I pick up the child in the afternoon. All right?"

"Okay, if there's anything unclear, you can ask me this afternoon."

"OK."

So, the two made an appointment to pick up the children in the afternoon and ate rice noodles.

…

Naye Deng's community.

As soon as Deng Shirong came back, Zhang's mother couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on with the in-laws?"

"I have already talked with Chen Guosheng's mother. Her sister has not found a partner yet. She is from Yulin. She is 21 years old. She is an employee of a packaging carton factory and has a junior high school education."

Deng Shirong didn't waste any time and showed the result directly: "I also told Mother Chen about Xiaojun's situation. Mother Chen was very interested after hearing it. Now she should go back to discuss the matter with her sister. I will pick her up in the afternoon. If you talk to her when she is a child, you will know whether her sister has thoughts in this regard. "

"It's fine if you don't have a partner. My Xiaojun is pretty good at everything else, but his academic qualifications are worse than those of other girls."

At this point, Zhang's mother sighed and said, "In the end, it's all his father and I's fault for not having that vision. If you had in-laws who valued education so much, then the academic qualifications of their brothers and sisters wouldn't be so low."

Deng Shirong said: "My mother-in-law, you don't have to worry. Educational qualifications do not represent ability. Even for most people, there is no difference between a primary school education and a high school education. It just sounds nice, but in fact it doesn't help much with work." ”

Zhang's mother said: "The main reason is that he is afraid that his girl will dislike him for his low education. After all, his girls all have a junior high school degree. My Xiaojun only graduated from elementary school. There is a big difference!"

"This will definitely have some impact, but it shouldn't be a big problem. We'll find out after talking to her sister this afternoon."

"Um!"

…

The family building of the county native product company.

"Dong dong dong!"

After Tan Yalan came back from shopping for groceries, he knocked on his sister's door and shouted, "Ya Fei."

In the room, Tan Yafei opened her sleepy eyes, got up and put on her shoes, and responded: "Here we come!"

A few seconds later, the door was opened. Mother Chen saw her sister who was wearing small clothes and had a better figure than her. She said, "Ya Fei, you usually get up to go to work at this time. Why do you still look like you haven't had enough sleep?" ?”

Tan Yafei opened the door, lay back on the bed again, and muttered: "Sister, I rarely have two days of rest, and I just want to sleep in. Why did you wake me up so early? Why can't you wait for me to wake up? Let’s talk about it later?”

Tan Yalan walked over, slapped her sister on a particularly fleshy part, and said, "Don't sleep, get up quickly, I want to tell you something important."

Tan Yafei opened her eyes helplessly and said, "Sister, if you have anything to say, tell me, I'll listen."

Tan Yalan said excitedly: "Ya Fei, when you went to pick up Asheng from kindergarten yesterday, an aunt took a fancy to you. Today she sent someone to inquire about you and want to match you with her son! I heard from the man I think the conditions of the family are very good. Let me tell you. If you think it’s okay, I’ll discuss it with the other party and arrange a blind date for you. What do you think?”

When Tan Yafei heard this, she immediately recalled the scene when she went to pick up her nephew yesterday afternoon. At that time, an aunt did take the initiative to say hello and chat with her, but she didn't pay attention at that time, but she didn't expect that she was attracted by her.

She is 21 years old this year, and it is indeed time to talk about marriage, and Tan Yafei also knows that her sister's vision is not low. She is also a little curious about the man who can catch her eye, so she does not reject it, but He nodded and said, "Okay, you say it and I listen."

Tan Yalan sat by the bed and told her sister about the man's situation, and finally said: "The man's sister is the mother of Asheng's classmate. I have met her several times. She is a very beautiful woman. She I think my younger brother looks pretty good too.”

Tan Yafei hesitated and said: "Sister, the other party's education is a bit low, and he is not as good as me."

Tan Yalan said: "The other party's academic qualifications are indeed a bit low, but he is still very good in other aspects, especially the family conditions, which are much better than ours, and his sister does not seem to be simple, but I have not learned about it in detail. ”

Tan Yafei asked: "The other party is in the county now?"

Tan Yalan shook his head and said: "No, he is in Longtan Town, but he works in his own factory and has relatively free time. If you agree to go on a blind date with him, he can go to the county or directly to the city to meet you at any time."

Tan Yafei thought for a while and said, "As long as it doesn't affect my work, I don't have any objection to meeting you."

Tan Yalan said happily: "As long as you agree to meet, I will arrange the rest."

…

Three days later.

Zhang Shoujun got on the bus to the county seat with great expectations.

In the past few years, as friends of the same age in the village have been getting married one after another, now looking at the whole village, he is the only one among his peers who is still single. It is impossible to say that he is not lonely at all.

Unlike other families who cannot afford a wife and have to stay single, Zhang Shoujun is single purely because there are too many girls for him to choose from, but none of these girls can make his heart beat, so he still has no partner until now.

The day before yesterday, his mother called the factory and told him that she had found a very good partner for him and asked him to go up and meet the woman.

On the phone, his mother kept praising this girl. Not only was she tall and good-looking, she even had a higher education than him and she was from Yulin. In short, his mother was really satisfied with this girl and wanted to give her to her right away. Became her daughter-in-law.

In the past few years, as their family's family conditions have gotten better and better, not only has he raised his standards for finding a wife, but his parents have also done the same.

Nowadays, it is rare to hear that his mother is so satisfied with a girl. Zhang Shoujun is really full of expectations, wanting to see what kind of girl can make his mother so satisfied.

…

afternoon.

Suifeng Hotel.

Zhang Xiuping looked at her mother and said, "Mom, if Xiaojun's marriage happens, it will really be fate."

Mother Zhang said with a smile on her face: "The first time this girl came to pick up my nephew, I bumped into him and fell in love with him at first sight. This is indeed fate."

Zhang Xiuping looked at her third brother and said, "Xiaojun, when I go to Yulin to meet with someone tomorrow, you should act smart and try to leave a good impression on the other party."

Zhang Shoujun nodded and said: "Don't worry, sister, I'm not a teenager, I know what to do."

Zhang Xiuping then looked at her father-in-law and asked, "Dad, what time do you and Chen Guosheng's mother have an appointment to meet tomorrow?"

Deng Shirong said: "Let's have dinner together at noon tomorrow at Yulin Restaurant."

Zhang's mother said: "In-laws, I'll ask you to help me when I meet the woman tomorrow."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Don't worry, my mother-in-law. Regarding Xiaojun's conditions, I believe that the woman will not disagree as long as she is not blind. Just wait for your daughter-in-law to come in!"

…

Early the next morning.

Deng Shirong, Zhang Xiuping, and Zhang Shoujun got on the bus to Yulin.

From Bobai to Yulin, it is only 40 to 50 kilometers. Although the current Yubo Road is not as easy to walk as later generations of expressways and secondary roads, it is still very good because the roadbed was widened the year before last and is now wider. 12 meters, the road surface is 7 meters wide, which is much easier to walk than before.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the three of them arrived at Yulin Restaurant in advance.

The reason why I came so far in advance was to get to know this Yulin Restaurant and try to turn the "away game" into a "home game". Otherwise, I would miss the time and come here and know nothing about this place and not know what to order. I understand, but it’s not so good if the woman has to order the food.

After entering Yulin Restaurant, it took about half an hour for Deng Shirong to finally find out the details of the restaurant.

This Yulin Restaurant was formerly known as Chengguan Hotel in Yulin County. It was built in the early 1950s and is considered a very historic hotel.

The signature dish of Yulin Restaurant was completely beyond the expectations of Deng Shirong and the others. It was actually famous for its fried rice noodles.

Because the chef who makes this fried rice noodles is nicknamed "Nengji", the locals are used to calling Yulin Restaurant's fried noodles "Nengji fried noodles", and even the name of the restaurant is called "Nengji Restaurant" ”, which shows that this stir-fry is really a bit awesome.

In addition to stir-fried noodles, there are also several more famous dishes: stewed dog meat with monkshood, Yulin beef, Yulin Qingshui dog meat, Sarou (steamed pork with vermicelli), etc.

Among them, the aconite stewed dog meat was created by Jiang Deying, the chef of Yulin Restaurant. The characteristic of this dish is its aroma. As soon as it is served to the table, the entire restaurant can smell the aroma. Many outsiders come to Yulin specifically to taste this dish at Yulin Restaurant.

Needless to say, Yulin people must order this dish when dining in Yulin restaurants.

After understanding it clearly, Deng Shirong and the others knew what was going on. Then they left the restaurant and walked around to take a look.

When the time was almost up, he returned to the door of Yulin Restaurant and waited for the woman's arrival.
