Chapter 370 A Marriage Made in Heaven
A restaurant in Fuqing County.
Gu Caiwei couldn't help asking, "County Magistrate Deng, how did you recognize us?"
Deng Yunheng stood up and walked to their table and sat down, smiling, "Last year when you were eating hot pot at my sister's hot pot restaurant, my sister secretly took pictures of you and sent them to me, so I could recognize you at a glance."
In fact, he wanted to say that it was because of telepathy, but it seemed a bit glib. After all, it was the first time for the two to meet, and the other person's mother was also present, so it was better not to say such glib words.
So, Deng Yunheng chose to tell the truth and focus on sincerity.
Gu's mother and daughter suddenly realized what was going on, and they didn't mind it. It was normal for the other person's sister to help take a few pictures secretly.
Mother Gu immediately said with a smile: "It seems that County Magistrate Deng is still very concerned about my Weiwei. He can recognize us at a glance just by looking at the photo."
Gu Caiwei blushed and said in a long tone: "Mom~~~"
Deng Yunheng smiled and praised: "A girl as beautiful and elegant as Miss Gu will be impressed by any man."
While speaking, he was also full of emotion in his heart. His father's vision was really impeccable. The girl in front of him looked much more beautiful than the photo. She was indeed an excellent girl with a figure and appearance that was not worse than that of the eldest sister-in-law, and her temperament was even better.
Especially her shy look, it really makes people unable to help but be moved.
Gu Caiwei glanced at him and said shyly: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. I'm just an ordinary girl."
She was also silently looking at the other party. His appearance was not handsome, but perhaps he came from a top university like Peking University, and he was in power at a young age. He had a temperament that ordinary people did not have.
His eyes were very deep, as if he could see through people's hearts.
When Gu Caiwei's eyes met his, his eyes seemed to be able to conduct electricity, which made her feel numb.
At the same time, Gu's mother was also looking at Deng Yunheng. His appearance was better than she expected. His unique temperament made him look very outstanding. Even if he was standing in the crowd, you could see him at a glance.
And he looked very confident, as if nothing in the world could stump him.
It is said that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she is. Now Gu's mother has this feeling.
At this time, Deng Yunheng's mouth was like honey, and he continued to praise: "I am telling the truth. If you are just an ordinary-looking girl, then which girl in the world deserves the word beautiful?"
These words made Gu Caiwei very happy.
Because the mother and daughter of the Gu family wanted to observe Deng Yunheng, they chose a relatively remote location in the hotel. If they spoke softly, others would not be able to hear them in this noisy environment.
While they were talking, the proprietress came over with a tray containing a pot of good tea, a dish of vegetarian dishes, a dish of fried peanuts, and a bowl of porridge. She put the items down one by one and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Deng, there are two distinguished guests. Please enjoy your meal."
After the proprietress left, Gu's mother said, "County Magistrate Deng, do you often eat out?"
Deng Yunheng nodded and said, "Well, I usually eat breakfast and lunch out. At night, if I have enough time, I cook for myself. If I don't have time, I just eat something outside, or I just make some instant noodles."
Gu's mother said, "Although the food outside is delicious, it's hard to eat outside every day. Noodles are still not good, lacking the taste of home. "
Deng Yunheng poured tea for the mother and daughter, sighing: "There is no way, it is like this when you work alone in a foreign land."
Gu's mother said meaningfully: "It will be better when you get married in the future. When you go home after work, you can have a hot meal. That is the taste of home."
Deng Yunheng looked at Gu Caiwei and said with a smile: "I want to eat this hot meal earlier, but I don't know if others are willing."
Gu Caiwei blushed at the straightforward language and said shyly: "Just talk, why are you looking at me all the time?"
While speaking, her heartbeat speed was many times faster than usual.
She was not stupid. Deng Yunheng looked at her and said that he had made her understand his intentions. Now she was happy, shy and a little flustered. In short, she was very confused.
For Deng Yunheng, there is no doubt that she has a good impression of him. So far, the two sides have exchanged more than a dozen letters. In the content of the recent letters, the two actually have the intention to express their feelings, and there is only a layer of window paper that has not been broken.
Now that the two sides met, Deng Yunheng's appearance and temperament were better than she had imagined. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved.
After all, those dozen letters that she had poured her heart and soul into were not written in vain.
Especially when their eyes met, the electric shock reaction made Gu Caiwei understand that the man in front of her was the one she had always wanted to find.
Knowing that she was shy, Deng Yunheng did not continue to stimulate her. He just laughed and changed the topic, and said to Gu's mother: "Aunt Chen, let's talk while eating!"
Gu's mother smiled and said: "Okay, let's talk while eating."
Soon, lunch was almost finished.
Deng Yunheng rushed to settle the bill, and then said: "Aunt Chen, I still have work to do, so I'll excuse you now. I just told the landlady to prepare some good dishes in the afternoon. We'll be there at five o'clock." What do you think of eating here?”
Mother Gu smiled and said, "Okay, then go ahead and do your work. See you in the afternoon."
Deng Yunheng nodded, then said hello to Gu Caiwei, and then returned to work at the county government.
After Deng Yunheng left, the Gu family's mother and daughter also walked out of the hotel, and then returned to the guest house.
The two security personnel arranged by Gu's father did not appear in front of them, but only protected them secretly.
Back at the guest house, Gu's mother didn't waste any time and asked directly: "Weiwei, you've met me too. I think County Magistrate Deng is really good. How do you feel?"
In front of her mother, Gu Caiwei had no intention of hiding anything. She nodded and said, "She's a nice person."
Gu's mother smiled and said: "Since you think it's good, let's talk to him in the afternoon. Anyway, you should understand the meaning of what he just said. Whether it's his father or himself, he doesn't care about you." All satisfied.”
Gu Caiwei couldn't help but ask: "Mom, is this too soon? We just met, are we going to confirm the relationship?"
Gu's mother said: "Although you have just met, haven't you been communicating with each other for several months? In ancient times, both men and women formally met each other on the wedding night. You have been communicating with each other for several months now, and you have already established a relationship. Now We have met again and we are both satisfied, so why bother?”
Gu Caiwei hesitated and said, "But we don't even know who is in his family or what he does now!"
"What does it matter? You are interested in him. Besides, you have never met his father and sister. His father is just an ordinary rural person, but his sister can open such a big restaurant in Nanning." For a hot pot restaurant, the family’s financial conditions should be good.”
Gu's mother said, "If you want to know more specifically, just ask him during dinner in the afternoon."
Gu Caiwei nodded and said, "Then ask him about it during dinner this afternoon. You must know who is in his family and how easy it is to get along with him!"
Gu's mother said: "You should know about it, but those are not important, because his work is destined to stay outside for a long time, and he may only go back occasionally during the holidays to get together with his parents and brothers and sisters. There is definitely not much time, and whether his family gets along well or not, it will not affect you. "
Gu Caiwei thought it made sense and stopped worrying about this issue.
…
Deng Shirong, who had been away for two or three months, returned to Nanning again.
At this time, he already has enough ginkgo trees stored in his space, and he will transplant them to the village road in batches only when he finds an opportunity in the future.
Of course, it is impossible to transplant hundreds of trees at once. Instead, we plan to transplant them in dozens or even hundreds of times. Anyway, it depends on the situation. If the time is right, plant a few more trees. If the time is not right, plant one at a time. One or two so it won't attract attention.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter if you extend the time line and it takes three to five years to complete the planting, it’s still much better than planting saplings.
"grandfather!"
Seeing Deng Shirong, Xiao Dong'er ran over quickly.
Deng Shirong knelt down, opened his hands to pick her up, and said with a smile: "Xiao Dong'er, I haven't seen you for so long, do you miss grandpa?"
Xiaodong'er nodded heavily and said, "I wonder, grandpa, where have you been? Why did it take you so long to come back?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Grandpa went on a trip."
Xiaodong'er blinked and asked, "Grandpa, what is travel?"
Deng Shirong laughed and said, "It just means going out to have fun."
Xiaodong'er pouted unhappily when he heard this: "Grandpa, you didn't even take me to play."
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Grandpa also wants to take you to play, but it takes a long time to ride in the car, and there is no place to sleep in the car. It is very hard. When there is a place to sleep in the car in the future, grandpa will take you." Would you like to go out and play?”
Xiaodong'er stretched out her hand and said, "Pull the hook."
Deng Shirong held her with one hand and hooked her up with the other, saying, "Don't worry, grandpa won't lie to you. When you can buy sleeper tickets in the future, grandpa will take you out to play when you are on vacation."
"dad!"
"dad!"
Zhang Xiuping, Deng Yunzhu, and Deng Yunhua all greeted their father.
Deng Shirong hummed and asked, "Where's Yuntai?"
Zhang Xiuping replied: "Brother Tai has gone to Liuzhou. The Yongjia Supermarket over there is about to open. He has to go there for a while until everything is on track before he can come back."
Deng Shirong nodded and asked, "Has Yunheng called back?"
Deng Yunzhu answered: "I called my sister a few days ago, and she said that my second brother called her a few days ago and said that he wanted to ask dad about something."
Deng Shirong looked at the time and said, "Your second brother is probably having dinner at this time. I'll call him back when I get to work in the afternoon."
Deng Yunzhu nodded and asked, "Dad, what do you want to eat? I'll ask the master to make it for you."
"Then let the master cook some of his specialty Sichuan dishes!"
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Deng Shirong got on the phone with his second son.
After greeting each other, Deng Shirong asked: "I heard that you called me a few days ago and said you wanted to ask me something?"
Deng Yunheng said: "Dad, you have a better vision. I want to promote the economic development of Fuqing County. Which industry do you think I should start with?"
Deng Shirong blurted out: "We can directly create a feed industry chain."
Deng Yunheng said in surprise: "Feed industry chain?"
"This feed industry chain includes raw material suppliers, feed manufacturers, farmers, livestock and poultry product processors and consumers."
Deng Shirong introduced one by one: "This raw material supplier is the starting link in the feed industry chain, mainly planting soybeans, corn, wheat and other crops, which can increase farmers' income.
Feed manufacturers are the core link in the feed industry chain. Nowadays, domestic livestock and poultry breeding is rising rapidly, and the demand for feed is increasing. If you build a feed factory, you will definitely not have to worry about running out of business.
Farmers are the direct users of feed. This needs no further introduction. Promoting the development of the breeding industry can quickly stimulate the local economy as long as it is managed properly.
The downstream of this industrial chain is the processing of livestock and poultry products, which can be processed into foods such as meat products and egg products, and can also create many jobs. "
Deng Yunheng said: "We already have this feed factory in our county, and there are many farmers, but they are only small-scale farming, because the risks of this farming are relatively high. Like the shrimp farming I promoted before, I also sent experts to be in command all the time, and there was no problem at all. Don’t dare to relax, otherwise you will suffer huge losses if you get sick.”
Deng Shirong said: "There are indeed various risks in breeding. This is inevitable, but you can't stop eating because of choking. Once this large-scale breeding farm is established, it will be very profitable if it is managed properly. Anyway, as a county leader, you don't have to get involved. , just need to provide policy support.
As for the existing feed mill, you can also inspect it. If you think it has potential, you can also support its development and growth.
In short, for now, breeding and planting have always been the pillar industries of local economic development. As long as you start in these two aspects, increase the scale of planting and breeding, and then solve the most important sales problem, then this Fuqing County The economy will develop naturally.
Of course, the industrial aspect cannot be ignored. How to do it depends on the actual situation. I am just providing some opinions for your reference. "
"Okay, I understand. I'll think about how to handle this later."
At this point, Deng Yunheng changed his tone and said with a smile: "Dad, guess who I met here at noon?"
Deng Shirong asked: "Who did you meet?"
Deng Yunheng said: "I met Gu Caiwei and her mother."
Deng Shirong looked surprised when he heard this, and then asked happily: "Did they come to Fuqing County specially to see you?"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "They are indeed here specifically to see me, otherwise they would not show up in this small county."
Deng Shirong smiled from ear to ear: "How about this girl Gu Caiwei, she has a good figure, appearance and temperament, right?"
Deng Yunheng hummed and said, "Dad, you really have nothing to say about your vision."
Deng Shirong said: "Since the mother and daughter came to Fuqing County specifically to see you, it means that the woman has taken a fancy to you. You must entertain them well and take this opportunity to make it clear."
Deng Yunheng said: "I understand. I'll treat them to dinner in the afternoon. Then I'll find an opportunity to make things clear. I'll call you in the evening."
Deng Shirong said: "Okay, then I'll wait for your call."
Next, the father and son chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
…
Five p.m.
It's still the same hotel.
Deng Yunheng and the Gu family's mother and daughter were sitting at the lunch table. There were several famous local dishes on the table.
After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Gu's mother asked: "County Magistrate Deng, we have only met your father and sister. I wonder how many people are in your family?"
Deng Yunheng replied: "I have seven brothers and sisters. I have an eldest brother and sister above me, and a sister and three brothers below me. The eldest brother is already married with two children, and the eldest sister is also married. As for my mother, she is not well-off. Been gone for more than ten years.”
"I'm sorry, I didn't know your mother..."
"Aunt Chen, it's okay, it's been more than ten years."
Knowing that Deng Yunheng lost his mother in his early years, the Gu family's mother and daughter felt more sorry for him.
Gu's mother did not mention his mother's matter again, but asked: "County Magistrate Deng, I saw that your sister opened such a big hot pot restaurant in Nanning. She said she opened it with the help of your father. I wonder if your father is what for?"
Deng Yunheng said with a smile: "Since the country encouraged self-employed people to do business, my father has partnered with others to contract out the operation of the brigade's vat kiln, and then went to the bank to borrow money to open a large hotel in the county. After he was elected by the tribe to become the leader of the clan, , and raised funds from the clan to open a passenger transportation company and a food company. At present, the business of both companies is pretty good. "
A look of surprise flashed in Mother Gu's eyes, and she praised: "They say like father, like son. No wonder you are so good, County Magistrate Deng. It turns out you have such a capable father."
Gu Caiwei was also surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that Uncle Deng, who looked at the ordinary Uncle Deng on the train, had such ability.
Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Chen."
Mother Gu continued to ask: "Your sister has opened such a big hot pot restaurant, so what do your brothers and the others do?"
Deng Yunheng said: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law are currently running a supermarket chain."
Hearing this, Gu Caiwei interrupted and asked, "What is a chain supermarket?"
Deng Yunheng explained, "A supermarket is a self-service shopping mall. A chain supermarket means that there are more than one self-service shopping mall, and there are also branches."
Gu Caiwei suddenly realized, "So it's a self-service shopping mall. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are also very powerful!"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "It's okay. You all know that my sister runs a hot pot restaurant. My third brother is still in college."
Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Gu's mother's eyes again.
As I said, the gold content of college students in this era is definitely not comparable to that of later generations. Anyone who can be admitted to college is the pride of this era. No matter who you mention it in front of, it is impressive.
Gu Caiwei then asked, "Which university is your third brother in?"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Tsinghua University."
When this was said, the mother and daughter of the Gu family instantly widened their eyes.
Originally, the fact that the two brothers were both college students had already surprised them.
As a result, one of the brothers was admitted to Tsinghua University and the other to Peking University. Few people could remain calm after hearing the shock brought by this news, especially those who knew the value of these two universities.
Gu's mother exclaimed: "County Magistrate Deng, you brothers are really amazing!"
Gu Caiwei also said with admiration: "I felt it was very difficult to get into a key university with a low ranking. I dared not even think about universities of the level of Tsinghua University and Peking University. I didn't expect that one of you brothers was admitted to Tsinghua University and the other was admitted to Peking University. It's really amazing."
Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "You are too kind!"
Gu's mother continued to ask: "Are the other two brothers also studying?"
Deng Yunheng said: "The fourth brother did not get into college, and now he has come out to do business. I heard that he opened a home appliance city specializing in selling home appliances. The younger brother is still in high school."
Mother Gu sighed: "County Magistrate Deng, your seven brothers and sisters are all extraordinary!"
Deng Yunheng said modestly for a few words, and then asked: "Aunt Chen, how many children do you have?"
Mother Gu sighed and said: "I don't have the blessing of your father. I only have two daughters. Weiwei's sister got married a few years ago. Once Weiwei gets married, her father and I will become lonely."
Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "Aunt Chen, it is said that a son-in-law is half a son. You and Uncle Gu are not lonely, but should have more than half a son."
Gu Caiwei glanced at him. Unexpectedly, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is quite good at talking.
Mother Gu laughed out loud after being comforted: "County Magistrate Deng is right, it is indeed a good thing to have another half son!"
Having said this, Deng Yunheng followed up with a statement: "Aunt Chen, I want to be your half son, do you have the chance?"
This sudden statement made Gu Caiwei suddenly nervous, and she almost couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily, and her face quickly turned red.
Mother Gu was also caught off guard by this sudden attack. Fortunately, she had experienced storms after all, and she was able to remain calm at the critical moment. She smiled and replied: "I am naturally happy to have such an outstanding young man like you, County Magistrate Deng, as my son, but this matter still requires the consent of my family Weiwei."
Deng Yunheng looked at Gu Caiwei with a smile and asked: "Weiwei, do you agree?"
Gu Caiwei couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and said with shame: "How can you ask people like this? How can you let me answer!"
Deng Yunheng had already known the situation in his heart, and blinked at her: "You don't have to answer, no objection means consent."
Gu Caiwei bit her lip and felt her face burning: "You... aren't you playing rogue!"
"No objection means tacit consent, how can this be playing rogue? Anyway, I will take it as your consent!"
"Hate, I won't pay attention to you!"
Mother Gu looked at the two people "flirting" and knew in her heart that this marriage should be successful.
