Chapter 248 This might be the best person she could meet in her life
Three days later.
Bobai County Bus Station.
Deng Shirong took Liu Aihong, Aihong's mother, Liu Dasao and Liu Ersao out of the bus station.
In this era, when rural people came to the city for the first time, they were certainly curious about the living environment in the county town. Liu Aihong and her three companions were no exception. They followed the matchmaker Deng Shirong out of the station and began to look around.
Then, I saw that the roads outside were paved with asphalt residue oil, with bicycles and motor vehicles passing by from time to time, and four- or five-story buildings in the distance. I couldn't help but feel that "it's worthy of being a county town."
Deng Shirong waited until they recovered before saying with a smile, "Cousin, let's go, we'll go directly to the restaurant."
Aihong's mother asked, "Uncle Jiu, he is working in a restaurant now. If we go directly to the restaurant, will it affect his work?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "There will be more diners in the restaurant at eleven or twelve o'clock in the afternoon. Now it's almost one o'clock, and there are very few diners who come to the restaurant to eat at this time, so if we go there now, it won't affect his work."
Aihong's mother nodded and said, "That's good. Please lead the way, Uncle Jiu."
"Of course, come with me!"
After saying that, Deng Shirong took the lead and walked along South Street Road towards the Suifeng Hotel on Xicheng Road.
Liu Aihong and three others followed behind, looking around as they walked. They found everything they saw in the county town new and new.
It was actually not far from the bus station to the Suifeng Hotel. After walking for about ten minutes, the five people arrived at the entrance of the Suifeng Hotel.
The moment they saw the Suifeng Hotel, Liu Aihong and the other three were stunned! Although Deng Shirong had mentioned before that the man worked in the largest hotel in the county, the largest hotel in the county was a very general description for Liu Aihong and the others, and they had no idea about it at all.
But now the hotel stands before them, giving them the most intuitive feeling, and the shock in their hearts can be imagined.
Mrs. Liu exclaimed: "Oh my God, this restaurant is so huge!"
Aihong's mother was shocked and said, "So this is the largest restaurant in the county. It is dozens of times bigger than the state-owned restaurant in Shuangwang."
Mrs. Liu was also shocked. She poked her sister-in-law next to her and said with envy, "Third sister, if you followed him, you could work in this restaurant. This is so enviable!"
Hearing her second sister-in-law say this, Liu Aihong looked at the magnificent hotel in front of her and felt extremely excited. She was looking forward to working here and hoped that the other party would look down on her and not despise her. This might be the best person she could meet in her life.
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Let's go in!"
…
Sui Feng Hotel.
At this time, most of the diners had already eaten and left, and there were still three tables of diners drinking and chatting.
At the cashier counter, Deng Yuntai, Zhang Xiuping, Deng Yunzhen, Deng Shilan, Bu Erzhu and others gathered together to chat.
Deng Shilan and Bu Erzhu came to the county town yesterday. After seeing their younger brother's restaurant, they were still shocked even though they had been mentally prepared. No wonder their younger brother invested so much money in it, this restaurant was indeed outrageously big.
With their arrival, everyone knew that the girl would have a blind date with Bu Dashi in the hotel tomorrow, and everyone became very interested. Even in the future, watching people go on blind dates is a very interesting thing, and in this era, it is even more so. No one wants to miss such a lively event.
While waiting for the girl to arrive, Deng Yuntai said, "I don't know what Dad is thinking. Why does he ask us to pretend that we don't know him?"
Zhang Xiuping thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Dad doesn't want to reveal too much in front of the girl, which would affect her judgment. Once the two sides meet and the girl has a clear attitude, Dad probably won't have to hide these things anymore."
Deng Yunzhen nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, your analysis makes sense. Dad must want to find a suitable woman for cousin Dashi to live with. If these things are revealed in advance, the woman will definitely agree, and the meaning of the blind date will be lost."
Deng Yuntai thought about his own marital situation and said, "I don't even know what it feels like to go on a blind date."
Deng Yunzhen rolled her eyes at her brother and said, "Brother, don't be so ungrateful. If dad hadn't said something nice for you and let you go directly to meet my sister-in-law, it's still unknown whether my sister-in-law would like you!"
Deng Yuntai was speechless and said, "Ah Zhen, is there anyone who would disparage his own brother like you?"
Deng Yunzhen said innocently: "Brother, I'm just telling you the truth. How can I disparage you? Haven't you ever looked in the mirror?"
Zhang Xiuping couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The brother and sister laughed and joked for a while. Seeing that the third aunt and the third uncle were staring outside, Deng Yuntai couldn't help but laugh and said, "Third aunt, third uncle, don't be anxious. Go sit over there and wait slowly!"
Deng Shilan sighed and said, "Oh, how can I not be anxious? Your cousin is already 23 this year!"
In later generations, people have just entered society at the age of 23, and many people start to consider marriage when they are nearly 30. But in this era, 23 years old does make parents very anxious. After all, nine out of ten people of the same age in the village are already married and have children.
Deng Yuntai was about to say something when Zhang Xiuping suddenly shouted, "Here they come! They're coming!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked outside.
Then, Deng Shirong was seen walking in front, followed by four women.
The older one should be the girl's mother or aunt, and the other two women who look like young women should be the girl's sisters-in-law. As for the girl who is dressed simply and has a ponytail and looks pretty, she should be the one who came here for a blind date.
Soon, Deng Shirong came in with his men.
When the two sides met, Deng Shirong helped introduce them: "Let me introduce you, this is Bu Dashi's father and mother, this is Liu Aihong, this is her mother, this is her eldest sister-in-law, and this is her second sister-in-law."
After the two parties greeted each other politely, Deng Shirong led them to the box to sit down.
After we sat down in the box, Zhang Xiuping personally brought us tea.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Deng Shirong said, "Cousin, have a cup of tea first. Dashi should be in the kitchen. I'll go call him over."
Arriving at such a "luxurious" restaurant, Aihong's mother and others felt a little restrained and could only nod and say yes.
Deng Shilan naturally couldn't let the atmosphere get dull, so she asked with concern, "Dear relatives, you came up on the bus, are you not carsick?"
Aihong's mother said: "Fortunately, none of us got carsick. But when we were on the bus, we saw someone who got carsick and vomited so much that it was scary to watch. I didn't expect that someone could vomit like this just by riding in a car."
Deng Shilan said, "People are different. Before there were cars, I heard that some people got sick when they took a boat. I've never taken a boat, so I don't know what it's like. But I don't get sick when I take a car, so I shouldn't get sick when I take a boat!"
Aihong's mother smiled and said, "Actually, whether we get sick from riding in a car or a boat doesn't really matter to us. I've lived for decades, and this is my first time taking a bus. As for taking a boat, I've taken those small bamboo rafts before, but as for taking a big boat, I guess I'll never have the chance in my lifetime."
Deng Shilan smiled and said, "That's not certain. The country has changed a lot in the past two years. No one knows what it will be like in the future."
As they were talking, Deng Shirong had already come in with his nephew Bu Dashi.
The moment she saw Bu Dashi, Liu Aihong, who had been feeling uneasy, finally felt relieved. This was a healthy man. Although he was not good-looking, he had no obvious defects in his facial features. His honest appearance made people feel at ease.
Aihong's mother also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The man had such good conditions, but he was still not married at the age of 23. She was also afraid that the other party might have some defects. Even if she was satisfied with him, she could not push her own daughter into the kang.
Now that she saw someone, she finally felt relieved.
Deng Shirong introduced them again, and after they greeted each other, the waiter started serving the dishes.
Ready-made delicious dishes like boiled chicken, boiled pork feet, and boiled pork stomach can be served directly after being chopped, cut, and plated, so the process is naturally very fast.
Deng Shirong had already talked about the situation of both parties, so there was no need to repeat the topic when they met now. So during the meal, Deng Shirong led the topic and talked about the Liu family using their spare time to weave bamboo products.
"Cousin, when I went to your house the other day, I saw that everyone in your family was weaving things. Your skills seemed pretty good. You should be able to make a lot of money from those bamboo weavings, right?"
Aihong's mother shook her head and said, "We only edit in our spare time, and it's slow. We sell to the supply and marketing cooperatives, so we don't make much money in a month. But we have nothing to do anyway, so any money we can make is good. No matter how much or how little, it's still an income."
Deng Shirong said: "Your family has this skill, you can go to work in a factory. There are still many bamboo weaving factories now."
Aihong's mother said, "We have thought about this, but there is no bamboo weaving factory in our village. Someone in our brigade has opened a bamboo weaving factory, but it is quite far from our village. If we go there to work, I don't know how much time we will waste going back and forth. Besides, the salary is not necessarily higher than weaving and selling it at home, so we have never worked in the factory."
Deng Shilan asked, "Relatives, are there many people in your village who can weave bamboo?"
Aihong's mother said: "Quite a lot. Many families in our village now use their free time to weave things at home. After accumulating them for a period of time, they can sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Deng Shilan said, "Then you can set up a bamboo weaving factory in the village and pool the whole village's strength to do it. You should be able to earn more than you do now."
Aihong's mother laughed and said, "Many people in the village have this idea, but no one has ever done it, mainly because there is no market. If we open a factory and still sell the products we make to the supply and marketing cooperatives, then opening this factory is like taking off your pants to fart!"
