Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Hearing what his old classmate said, Deng Yunheng said with a smile: "Old classmate, what you said makes sense, but I'm afraid you don't know the value of spicy hot pot!"

Feng Xuelin asked curiously: "How do you say this?"

Deng Yunheng said with a smile: "There is more than one hotpot hotpot, it is a hotpot chain store with dozens of branches across the country!"

Little tricks like pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger are not popular in the Deng family.

Deng Yunheng already knows that Feng Yingying's family runs a company, and the family is not short of money at all. Moreover, regardless of her figure, appearance or education, she is a good choice. Under this situation, if he still deliberately hides his clumsiness, then he will It really matches that sentence. If you pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger for a long time, you will really become a pig.

Therefore, facing the inquiries from his old classmates, Deng Yunheng began to play his cards one by one.

"Have dozens of branches across the country?"

Feng Xuelin couldn't help being surprised when she heard this. Although she had eaten at Lameizi Hotpot with her family, she didn't pay much attention to this hotpot restaurant. She only remembered that this hotpot restaurant tasted very good and was quite popular.

Only now did I know that Hot Girl Hotpot is actually a hotpot chain store with dozens of branches across the country.

If there is only one hotpot restaurant in Lameizi, even if there is a Zhujiang Internet cafe, the financial resources cannot be compared with her third uncle's house.

But if there are dozens of hot pot restaurants combined, the result will be different. Even though Sanshu's company is doing quite well, it can't compare with the boss who owns dozens of hot pot chain stores.

Seeing the surprised expression on his old classmate's face, Deng Yunheng played his cards again and said, "Old classmate, you are not familiar with Yongjia Supermarket, are you?"

Feng Xuelin was shocked and asked with wide eyes, "Old Deng, does this Yongjia Supermarket belong to you?"

Deng Yunheng said with a smile: "That is my eldest brother's property."

As soon as these words came out, Feng Xuelin was really shocked.

Unlike the Lameizi hotpot chain store, Yongjia Supermarket is the first large supermarket in Guangzhou, and its reputation is really extraordinary.

Moreover, Feng Xuelin had heard her father mention Yongjia Supermarket last year, and knew that it was a national chain supermarket. The number of branches was said to have exceeded 100 in the past two years. It was one of the leaders in the domestic retail industry and could compete with supply and marketing cooperatives. A Big Mac comparable to a department store.

It is simply unbelievable that such a large company with an annual profit of hundreds of millions is the property of Deng Yunheng.

"You're awesome!"

Feng Xuelin gave a thumbs up to her old classmate and said with emotion: "I have been classmates with you for six years, and I have long known that your family situation is good. After all, I have taken care of your food and clothing expenses over the years. In my eyes, it is not comparable to ordinary families.

But I really never expected that your family's financial conditions would be so good. I understand why you want to cheat on my sister. With such a powerful eldest brother and second sister protecting you, you are just a puddle. Even mud can successfully lift you up. "

Deng Yunheng blinked his eyes and continued to play his cards: "Old classmate, let me ask you another question. Have you ever heard of the Deng Group?"

When Feng Xuelin heard this, she exclaimed with a horrified expression: "This...is this also your family's property?"

Deng Yunheng shook his head and said, "This is not my family's property."

Feng Xuelin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let me just say, if the Deng Group was your family's property, it would be terrible!"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "Although Deng's Group is not my family's industry, my dad is the largest shareholder of Deng's Group and the current chairman of Deng's Group."

Hearing this, Feng Xuelin was completely numb!

This news shocked her even more than hearing that Yongjia Supermarket, a well-known domestic retail giant, was owned by Deng Yunheng's eldest brother.

After all, Deng's Group is the number one private enterprise in the country. Its huge size is not comparable to that of Yongjia Supermarket. As Deng Yunheng's father is the group's major shareholder and the current chairman of the group, whether it is wealth or status, The status is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

At least, Feng Xuelin's third uncle is definitely not qualified to compare with others.

Feng Xuelin took a deep look at this old classmate: "Old Deng, you hid it deeply enough. If it weren't for the purpose of cheating on my sister, you would probably continue to hide it, right?"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "Looking at what you said, I didn't hide it deliberately, okay? It's just that you have never asked me these questions. I can't just come to you and brag about how rich my family is, right?"

Feng Xuelin was unable to refute, and said with a wry smile: "What you said makes sense."

"That's what it is."

Having said this, Deng Yunheng's lips curved into a smile: "Old classmate, now you can feel free to help bring your sister and me together, right?"

Feng Xuelin asked seriously: "Old Deng, tell me the truth, are you sure you want to marry my sister?"

Deng Yunheng nodded without hesitation and said: "I'm sure, I really like your sister, and I hope you can help match her up."

Feng Xuelin responded: "Okay, I'll help you with this. I'll test my sister's tone tomorrow. If there's anything interesting, I'll tell you."

Deng Yunheng said happily: "Old classmate, then I will leave my life-long affairs to you. If I can really win a beautiful woman, I will definitely prepare a big matchmaking gift for you."

Feng Xuelin smiled and said, "Then I'll be waiting for your matchmaking gift."

Deng Yunheng looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, hurry up, I have to go back to take a shower and rest!"

"Well, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

…

Noon the next day.

After Feng Xuelin got off work, she called her cousin’s cell phone.

After they greeted each other, Feng Xuelin asked, “Yingying, do you have time now?”

Feng Yingying said, “I have time from now until before work in the afternoon.”

Feng Xuelin gave an address not far from the two of them and said, “Then come here, I have something to talk to you about.”

Feng Yingying said, “Okay, I’ll be there right away.”

After hanging up the phone, the two took their own cars to the meeting place.

A quarter of an hour later, the two sisters met at a dessert shop.

Now the weather is hot, and it is very comfortable to eat a bowl of cold eight-treasure porridge or sweet potato dessert at noon.

When they started eating, Feng Yingying said, "Sister, what did you call me for? Tell me now!"

Feng Xuelin glanced at the other customers in the store and said, "No hurry, wait until we finish eating."

Feng Yingying realized that what her cousin wanted to say was probably a private topic that should not be heard by outsiders, so she stopped asking and ate the cold sweet potato soup comfortably.

A few minutes later, the two sisters paid the bill and walked out of the store.

When they came to the shade of the tree, Feng Yingying asked again: "Sister, there are no outsiders now, you can tell me anything!"

Feng Xuelin did not hide anything and said straight to the point: "Yingying, Lao Deng is interested in you, you should know it?"

Feng Yingying was stunned for a moment, and then said awkwardly: "Sister, he didn't ask you to help with the matchmaking, did he?"

"You guessed it right!"

Feng Xuelin smiled and asked: "Yingying, what do you think of Lao Deng?"

Feng Yingying recalled the few times they got along, and said realistically: "He is a good person, and it is fun to get along with him, but it may be more appropriate to be friends with him than lovers."

Feng Xuelin said: "I originally thought so too. After he showed his affection for you in front of me for the first time, I actually warned him that he was not worthy of you and told him to give up the idea and not get involved, so as not to hurt himself.

But he didn't listen to me, and it seems that he really fell in love with you at first sight.

Then, after what happened last night, I found that he and you may not be inappropriate. "

Feng Yingying's heart moved, and asked: "Sister, are you talking about his second sister?"

Feng Xuelin sighed: "Yingying, his second sister is not just the owner of Zhujiang Internet Cafe. Do you know La Meizi Hot Pot? That is also his second sister's business, and..."

Next, Feng Xuelin told her cousin one by one about the cards that Deng Yunheng revealed to her last night, and finally said: "Yingying, Lao Deng is outstanding in everything except his appearance. Marrying such a man, I believe you will be happy."

Feng Yingying was numb by her cousin's three consecutive bombs. The economic strength of Deng Yunheng's second sister alone is not comparable to her family. As a result, his eldest brother is even more powerful. He is the owner of the retail giant Yongjia Supermarket.

And this is not the most powerful. The most powerful is his father, the major shareholder and chairman of the Deng Group.

Each of these bombs was more powerful than the last, and Feng Yingying was dizzy.

Deng Yunheng, who originally had an ordinary appearance, seemed to have become a little different after being blessed by the halo of money.

After being shocked, Feng Yingying calmed down and asked, "Sister, you know him better, what do you think of his character?"

Feng Xuelin praised, "His character is still very good, otherwise my relationship with him would not be so good, and he is really low-key. He has such a good family background, but he never shows off in school. No one knows his background for so many years.

If it weren't for you this time, I guess he wouldn't have taken the initiative to expose these things until now.

It can also be seen from here that he really cares about you."

Feng Yingying thought about it and asked again, "Sister, do you really want me to date him?"

"Of course I want you to date him."

Feng Xuelin nodded without hesitation, "You are my sister, he is my best friend, if you I am happy to see them together. "

Feng Yingying pondered and said, "I believe in your judgment, so let's get to know each other for a while. If he can really make my heart beat, then I will agree to be with him."

Feng Xuelin smiled and said, "Okay, you have to be good at discovering his advantages. As long as you spend more time together, I believe you will be moved."

Feng Yingying smiled and said, "Then I will wait and see."

Feng Xuelin asked, "Do you want to tell Uncle San and Aunt San about this?"

Feng Yingying shook her head and said, "Don't tell them first, so as not to put pressure on me."

"It's up to you, then it's settled. When I go back, I will tell him and ask him to invite you out more often. You two get along well. If you have any problems, contact me."

"I know. I will get along well with him."

...

It was night.

The entrance of the Deng's Ancestral Hall in Naye was brightly lit, and the country chefs and helpers were busy.

Tomorrow, Deng Shirong will hold a full-month banquet for his fourth grandson. Full-month banquets in Shuangwang Territory are usually held between 9 and 10 in the morning, so we must make all preparations tonight, lest we be too late tomorrow.

First of all, the three indispensable dishes in the banquet, braised pork, meatballs, and egg rolls, must be prepared in advance tonight.

Also, bowls, chopsticks, celery, garlic, chives, coriander, green vegetables, etc., must be cleaned in advance and set aside.

In short, all preparations must be done well, otherwise if you leave it for tomorrow, it will definitely be too late.

At this time, Deng Shirong, Deng Shize, Deng Shian, Deng Yungui, Deng Yunqiang, Deng Yuncai, Deng Yunlin, Deng Yunfeng and others were sitting at the door of the ancestral hall, drinking and chatting.

On the table, there were freshly steamed egg rolls, which had been cut into pieces and were still hot. If you eat them while they are hot, they taste very good.

In addition to egg rolls, there are also pig offal, which are boiled into soup and then used to dip in sauce dishes. This is the most common way to eat in Shuangwang Realm.

Fandoucheng (in Hakka, it is peanut candy made from peanuts. The peanuts are fried and the sugar wrapped outside is not the hardened sugar, but the snowflake sugar, which tastes quite good) is also indispensable.

In addition, there are several garlic on the table, which is the favorite of people with heavy taste.

As for wine, Deng Shirong and others drank local glutinous rice wine, but Deng Shize was not suitable for this kind of wine due to physical reasons. Deng Shirong took out some tiger bone wine given to him by his eldest son-in-law and gave it to his eldest brother. This is a good thing for strengthening muscles and bones. Drinking a small amount of wine should be good for the body.

In addition to Deng Shirong, Deng Shize and Deng Shian, the only three surviving generations of the Shi character, the other few Yun characters are also elders of relatively high seniority in the clan. When these elders get together, one of their favorite things to do is to recall the bitterness and sweetness of the past.

At this time, Deng Yunqiang said with emotion: "Thinking back to the most difficult times, I only had two or three mouthfuls of rice in a bowl of porridge, and then I tried my best to fill my stomach with rice soup. After I was full, I ate the two or three mouthfuls of rice. But this can only deceive the stomach. I was hungry after peeing. It was really hard not to have a full meal all year round!" Deng Yungui swallowed the peanut candy in his mouth and said: "In that era, it was good enough not to starve to death. I started to help the landlord herd cattle when I was only a few years old. I had to learn to plow the fields when I was 11 years old. At that time, I was not even as tall as the plow handle. The life in the past was really not a life for human beings." Deng Shirong continued: "In fact, when we This generation is already considered good, at least there are no thieves like Long Sanba. ”

Deng Shian agreed: "What Laojiu said makes sense. Our previous generation was really hard. Not only did we not have enough food and clothes, but we also lived in fear. When Long Sanba led his thieves into the village to rob money, goods and people, my mother was kidnapped by them.

Fortunately, my mother's surname is Cai, and Long Sanba also has a subordinate named Cai who is from the same village as my mother. Then he secretly let my mother run away for the sake of brother-sister relationship. Otherwise, I am afraid there would be no me in this world. ”

Deng Shize said: "I also heard about this from the villagers. Long Sanba is really evil. It just so happened that In that era, the Qing Dynasty fell, local public security was in chaos, and the government was unable to suppress bandits, allowing thieves like Long Sanba to wreak havoc on the countryside without scruples.

Deng Yungui said: "I heard that many people from our Deng family were killed by Long Sanba."

Deng Shian said: "Our Deng family is considered good. The worst victim is Hengkeng Village in Songshan, where 56 people were directly massacred by Long Sanba. Moreover, those who were killed tied themselves up obediently and were killed one by one. It was really stupid."

Deng Shirong took a sip of wine and said: "It's not that those people are stupid, but they are all scared by Long Sanba's reputation. I heard that Long Sanba threatened those people at that time, saying that whoever wants If they dare to run, their whole family will be killed. If they don't run, they can tie themselves up and they can be spared.

In this case, those people had no choice but to believe Long Sanba's words. "

Deng Shize shook his head and said, "Those people were really scared. It is said that Long Sanba brought a few men with him at that time. Even if they had knives and guns, if they dared to muster up the courage to fight, it would probably be Long Sanba who ran away, and it would not be impossible to kill the thief on the spot.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the courage, so they could only be deceived and tied themselves up and stabbed to death one by one like pigs. "

While drinking, several people talked about Long Sanba, the big thief.

This Long Sanba is the most famous and the most harmful thief in Shuangwang's history. He really killed people like crazy and did all kinds of bad things. His deeds were even recorded in the county annals. Even though he died for hundreds of years, in Shuangwang, as long as Long Sanba was mentioned, everyone from the 80-year-old man to the 8-year-old child knew him.

In fact, it is not just Shuangwang, even if you look at the whole Bobai, Long Sanba's name can be said to be well-known.

If the thief can do this, Long Sanba can die without regrets.

After talking about the hardships in the past and comparing them with the happy life now, Deng Shian and others were very satisfied. The comparison between the past and the present was like living in two different worlds.

Several people ate and drank until more than ten o'clock in the evening before they dispersed.

...

The next morning.

There were a sea of ​​people at the entrance of the Naye Deng's ancestral hall. It was estimated that there were several thousand people. They all came to drink the full moon wine of Deng Shirong's grandson.

As the head of the Naye Deng clan, Deng Shirong was also the one who led the whole clan to become rich. Whatever happy event his family held now, basically the whole clan participated, plus relatives and friends, the lively scene was really not comparable to many banquets.

The Fan family and their relatives and friends were surprised to see this scene, and they couldn't help but feel happy for Fan Yuemei.

The Ye Deng clan members are very experienced in hosting such banquets. The young wives in the clan spontaneously organized themselves to entertain the guests and arranged the banquet in an orderly manner without the clan leader's instructions.
