Chapter 328 Father and son go to Beijing, Deng Yunheng's two-bedroom apartment

After spending July 14th at home, Deng Shirong and his third son went to Beijing.

Today, Tenglong Passenger Transport Company has opened a route from Bobai to Nanning, and Deng Shirong and his son naturally took the company's bus.

As the bus drove away from Bobai, Deng Shirong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He still remembered the first time he took his two daughters to Longtan Market six years ago. At that time, the youngest daughter was stunned by the prosperity of Longtan Market. Her naive look made Deng Shirong feel sad, so he told her sisters that after his second son was admitted to university, he would take them out to see the world.

At that time, the two sisters were so happy!

Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes. He did not expect that during his rare visit to Longtan Market, he would meet his eldest daughter-in-law. After some efforts on his part, he successfully married his eldest daughter-in-law and celebrated the New Year with her.

By the time the second son was admitted to university, the eldest daughter-in-law had been pregnant for several months, so the promise to take the brothers and sisters out to see the world could naturally not be fulfilled.

After he took the train once, he completely gave up the idea of ​​taking his children out to see the world. The transportation in this era is really too bad. Going far away is just asking for trouble. If he wants to see the world, he can wait until he buys a private car or waits for the train to speed up! In the afternoon, Deng Shirong and his son arrived in Nanning.

After leaving the station, Deng Yunsong touched his hungry stomach and said, "Dad, please take me to try Laoyoufen. You and my second brother said it's delicious. I've been craving it for a long time!"

"Okay, today I will take you to try the most distinctive Laoyou noodles in Nanning." As he said that, Deng Shirong took his third son to a Laoyou noodle shop like he was familiar with the place. The Laoyou noodles in this shop taste very authentic, and he would come here to have a bowl every time he came to Nanning.

Half an hour later.

Deng Yunsong finally got to eat the Laoyoufen he had been craving for for a long time, and the taste was exactly as sour and spicy and appetizing as his father and second brother said, and he couldn't stop eating it.

After more than ten minutes of finishing a bowl of Laoyou noodles with the noodles and soup, Deng Yunsong took out a towel from his luggage bag, wiped his sweat and praised: "Dad, this Laoyou noodles tastes really good. After a bowl of noodles, my whole stomach feels comfortable. It feels so good!"

Deng Shirong had also finished his noodles. In this hot weather, eating this hot and spicy Laoyou noodles, without air conditioning or fans, made him sweat all over. In fact, the dining experience was not very good. He also took out a towel to wipe the sweat off his face and said, "It is more comfortable to eat this noodle when it is cold."

Deng Yunsong nodded and said, "That's true. I'm sweating all over from eating so much. I won't be comfortable riding in the car later."

Deng Shirong said, "We won't take the bus today. Let's go to Xiyuan Hotel and stay overnight. Take a good bath and have a good sleep. Then we'll take the bus to Beijing tomorrow."

Xiyuan Hotel was built in 1958, covering an area of ​​187,000 square meters. It has a garden environment, courtyard structure, green grass and trees, blue lake, rockery, pavilions, birdsong and flowers, and pleasant scenery. It is a hotel with southern garden characteristics and ethnic style.

Before, this high-end hotel managed by a government department was heavily guarded. Only leaders were entertained and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

It was not until the reform and opening up in recent years that the Xiyuan Hotel was opened and ordinary people could live there.

Deng Shirong didn't know before that people who came to Nanning would stay in guesthouses with poor conditions. It was not until last year when he had more contact with the architectural designer and talked about accommodation issues that he learned about this. This time, of course, he would not stay in those rubbish guesthouses, but chose to stay in high-end hotels of this era.

Deng Yunsong naturally had no objection as it was his first time to travel far away, so he nodded and agreed.

…

Capital city.

A restaurant.

Zhou Shengli, Wang Dadan and Tian Chunzhi got together for dinner.

The food was delicious, but the three of them didn't have much appetite. They all looked sad, as if they had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Tian Chunzhi ate a few bites of food and lost her appetite, so she put down her chopsticks and said, "Old Zhou, do you think there was an accident with Boss Deng?"

Zhou Shengli frowned and said, "There shouldn't be any accidents, right?"

Wang Dabao said, "Boss Deng would have arrived at this time in previous years, but this year he has not come yet and there is no news. If he was just delayed by something, it would be fine. But I am afraid that there is a problem with the transportation channel. Then we can't do this business."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengli and Tian Chunzhi felt nervous. They had made a lot of money by cooperating with Boss Deng in the past few years, and the money was made very easily. They could earn tens of thousands of dollars in just a few days, which was just like picking up money.

Later, the cooperation was not limited to longan, but also expanded to pineapple and jackfruit, and the money earned increased.

It can be said that the quick money they make from cooperating with Boss Deng now exceeds their original business.

If they lost such huge profits, they would be heartbroken.

Zhou Shengli said, "It shouldn't be. It's only been delayed for less than ten days. It's very likely that Boss Deng is already on his way. Let's wait patiently for a few more days."

Tian Chunzhi said: "Well, we can't lose our composure, so let's wait and see patiently for a few more days."

…

While Zhou Shengli and the other two were feeling anxious, Deng Shirong and his third son had already boarded a train to the capital.

Deng Yunsong was very much looking forward to taking a train for the first time. Although he had heard his second brother complain more than once that being on the train was too difficult, it did not stop his yearning for the train.

However, after a few minutes of squeezing into the train, Deng Yunsong completely understood why his second brother complained. This train is for people to sit on? The weather is very hot now. Even if you stand there, you will sweat profusely. Before, all the passengers were carrying luggage and squeezing into the train. You can imagine how much sweat they would shed. Anyway, the whole carriage was filled with a strong smell of sweat, mixed with foot odor, salted radish, salted fish and other smells.

Even if the car windows are open and wind is blowing in through the windows, there is no way to dispel the smell in a short period of time.

Deng Shirong travels to Beijing every year, and after so many times, he has gotten used to the trains of this era. Seeing his third son looking listless after getting on the train, he couldn't help but say, "If you find it hard to endure, just sleep by the window. Even if you can't fall asleep, time will pass faster if you're half asleep and half awake."

Deng Yunsong shook his head and said, "No, I brought a book with me, just read it."

"Cousin, are you sending your child to study abroad?"

The person asking the questions was a middle-aged man sitting opposite Deng Shirong. He looked a few years younger than Deng Shirong. The young man sitting next to him was about the same age as Deng Yunsong and also looked like a student studying in another place.

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Yes, judging from your situation, cousin, are you also sending your children to study in other places?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Well, my son was admitted to the medical university in Beijing, and I am sending him to school this time."

When he said this, the middle-aged man couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and the smile on his face was very bright. One can imagine how proud he, as a father, was that his son had been admitted to the medical university in Beijing.

Deng Shirong, as a father, understands this very well. Beijing Medical University is one of the top universities among the top 100 key universities. In this era, no matter whose children can be admitted to such a university, it is a matter of pride for parents.

"It's good to be a doctor. In this world, many professions may change, but the profession of doctor is extremely important, both now and in the future, because people are bound to get sick, and as long as they are sick, they need a doctor. Your son has a bright future!"

The middle-aged man laughed out loud when he heard this, and his son also showed a proud expression.

"You're too kind, cousin. Only capable doctors have a future. Whether he can become a talent depends on his own efforts."

At this point, the middle-aged man asked, "Cousin, which school did your son get into?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It's also a school in Beijing. We are all from Guangxi. When we study in Beijing in the future, we can take care of each other."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's son looked at Deng Yunsong curiously and asked, "Classmate, which school do you go to?"

Deng Yunsong just took out the book and answered, "Tsinghua University."

As soon as these two short words were uttered, the father and son sitting opposite them seemed to be suddenly acupunctured. They opened their mouths in shock and couldn't close them for a long time.

After reacting, the middle-aged man's son, who was originally quite proud, was no longer proud at this time. He gave a thumbs up and said, "Great!"

Although Tsinghua University and Medical University are both among the top 100 key universities, the gap between Medical University and Tsinghua University is still very large.

The middle-aged man's attitude changed at this time, and he exclaimed: "Tsinghua University, cousin, your son is really amazing!"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Not bad, cousin, your son is also amazing."

At this point, the two sides started talking to each other.

Knowing that Deng Yunsong was a top student at Tsinghua University, the middle-aged man and his son adjusted their mindsets and the conversation naturally became very pleasant.

Through the chat, Deng Shirong also learned some simple information about the father and son.

The middle-aged man is named Li Guofeng, from Nanning, and is the deputy director of a factory. His family is quite well-off. His son is named Li Zhifu, who is the same age as Deng Yunsong, but a few months older than Deng Yunsong.

As both parties were willing to make friends, they got along like old friends in just a few days on the train.

…

afternoon.

A certain department of the Beijing Planning Commission.

It was already time to get off work, and the leaders and colleagues had all left. After Deng Yunheng sorted out the documents on his desk, he locked the office door, walked out of the office building, and prepared to go back to the residential compound to cook a meal.

As soon as I walked out of the office building, I heard the third brother's voice: "Second brother!"

Deng Yunheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw his father and the third son standing 20 meters away waiting. He couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised and hurried over to ask, "Dad, Xiaosong, when did you arrive in Beijing?"

"We arrived in the morning. Dad took me to school to register and settled me down before coming to see you."

While talking, Deng Yunsong had been looking at his second brother's workplace. Seeing the solemn and majestic Planning Commission building in front of him, he said with envy: "Second brother, your workplace is really impressive!"

"You see how grand this place is, but if we really talk about architecture, it's not as good as our restaurant!"

Deng Yunheng led the way and said, "Dad, Xiaosong, follow me. I'll show you where I live."

Deng Shirong nodded, and together with his third son and his second son, he walked towards the residential compound of the State Planning Commission. This residential compound, like the office building, was built just a few years after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Now, more than 30 years have passed, and it has become very old.

The residential compound is as shown below: Deng Yunheng led the way while introducing: "Dad, Xiaosong, don't look at our residential compound as old, but all the buildings have independent kitchens, toilets and balconies, as well as supporting heating facilities and water supply and drainage. These supporting facilities are already very good among many units."

Deng Yunsong asked, "Second brother, which floor do you live on?"

Deng Yunheng said: "I live on the third floor. The houses allocated by our unit are allocated according to the level. Section-level and division-level officials can be allocated two-bedroom apartments, so I live in a two-bedroom apartment now. Deputy bureau-level officials or above can be allocated three-bedroom or four-bedroom apartments, and they can also get sofa sets.

Those above the bureau level can also install landline phones at home. In short, different levels enjoy different treatments. "

Deng Shirong said: "This is a very normal thing. If everyone is treated the same, then what is the point of being a leader?"

Deng Yunsong smiled and continued, "Brother, you are very impressive to be able to get a second-bedroom apartment!"

As they were talking, the father and his two sons had already reached the third floor. Deng Yunheng took out the key and opened the door.

After entering the house, Deng Shirong took a look at the kitchen and asked, "Do you usually cook for yourself?"

Deng Yunheng shook his head and said, "No, I only cook when I'm not busy and want to change my taste. Otherwise, I always eat out."

Deng Shirong said, "Then you two brothers can chat. I'll go out for a walk and buy some food to cook."

Deng Yunheng said quickly, "Dad, you guys must have had a hard time riding the bus all the way. Stop working and take a break before going out to eat."

Deng Yunsong also said: "Yes, Dad, if you go out to buy groceries and come back to cook at this time, you won't know when the meal will be ready!"

Deng Shirong had a lot of food in his system space, but unfortunately he couldn't take it out: "Okay, let's go out and eat!"

…

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Forty minutes later.

In a restaurant not far from the residential compound of the State Planning Commission, the father and his two sons ordered a few dishes and chatted while eating.

"Dad, has the date for my sister's wedding been set?"

"The date is set for the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month of this year. You can consider your own situation by then. If you have holidays or can get leave, then come back. If you don't have holidays or it's hard to get leave, then don't bother!"

"Okay, I see. Let's see then. It's still early now and there's no way to be sure."

"How is your work now? Is it going well?"

"It's going smoothly. My leader thinks highly of me now."

The three of them chatted for a while before Deng Shirong said, "Xiaosong is now in college. You should talk to him carefully about the issues he needs to pay attention to after entering college, as well as how to join the Youth League Committee or the Student Union and how to become a leader. You are the only one in our family who has experience in this area."

Deng Yunheng nodded and passed on his experience to the third brother without reservation. These experiences were all figured out by him. After all, when he entered university, no one taught him these things, and his father only gave him some macro-level advice.

Deng Yunsong naturally benefited a lot from listening to his second brother's experience, and he was full of fighting spirit for the upcoming college life.

The father and his two sons ate until dark before returning to Deng Yunheng’s two-bedroom apartment to take a shower and rest.

The next morning.

After the three of them had a simple breakfast, Deng Shirong took out two thousand yuan and handed it to his second son, saying, "Take this money. Although you have a job now, your salary is not that high. You eat out all day and need to buy daily necessities or other things. You can't do without some money."

The family was not short of money, so Deng Yunheng didn't bother to be polite with his father. He took the money and said, "Thank you, Dad!"

Deng Shirong took out another 500 yuan and gave it to his third son, saying, "Xiaosong, this is for you. If you want to make many friends, without a certain amount of financial support, you will be constrained in doing things. If you have enough money, you will be able to do things much more smoothly."

Deng Yunsong took the money and said, "Dad, I understand!"

Deng Shirong then looked at his second son and said, "Then you go to work, we'll leave first!"

Deng Yunheng nodded, looked at the third child and said, "Xiaosong, come over and play when you have holidays."

Deng Yunsong responded, "I understand, second brother."

…

Ruyi Fresh Fruit Shop.

Zhou Shengli looked outside with lifeless eyes. It had been delayed for more than ten days, and there was still no news from Boss Deng. Now he felt like those women who didn't want to get pregnant. Every day his period was delayed, he felt more anxious.

Of course, he was not the only one. Wang Dabing and Tian Chunzhi were also suffering in their hearts these days.

After experiencing the feeling of making quick money, it is very painful to lose it.

Just when Zhou Shengli was daydreaming, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his sight. He was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he quickly reached out and rubbed his eyes. When he found out that it was real, he was instantly overjoyed and excitedly greeted him and said, "Boss Deng, you are finally here!"

Deng Shirong couldn't help but smile when he saw this, "Boss Zhou, I'm sorry, I was delayed this year, so I came a little late."

Zhou Shengli said with a cheerful look on his face: "It's not too late, Boss Deng, please come in and have a seat."

Soon, the two came to the warehouse behind the fruit shop again.

After a few pleasantries, Deng Shirong said, "Boss Zhou, this year's goods are the same three items as last year. The prices of ground pineapples and longans remain the same, but the price of jackfruits will be 1.5 yuan per catty. How much do you want?"

Zhou Shengli pondered and said, "As for ground pineapples, we need 400 tons this year, jackfruits need 200 tons, and how many longans do we have?"

Deng Shirong said: "Longan is the same as last year. We can provide you with a maximum of 100 tons."

"That would be 100 tons."

Zhou Shengli nodded and asked, "Boss Deng, is it okay to pay a portion first and then pay the rest after a few days like last year?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. We have been working together for so many years."

Zhou Shengli said: "Thank you for your trust, Boss Deng. I wonder when the goods will arrive?"

Deng Shirong took out a piece of paper and handed it over, saying, "As usual, you just need to send a car to this address tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I'll go inform Lao Wang and Xiao Tian now, and arrange the manpower."

"Um!"

…

The next morning.

Zhou Shengli, Wang Dadan and Tian Chunzhi arrived at the door of a warehouse with a huge convoy.

When they met Deng Shirong, Wang Daming and Tian Chunzhi were so enthusiastic as if they had met a relative they had lost contact with for many years!

This time, Deng Shirong was more than ten days late, which made Boss Zhou and the other two suffer a lot. At the same time, they also realized how important Boss Deng was to them. They were all thinking about how to win over Boss Deng and keep this business going for a long time.

After weighing the goods, Zhou Shengli and his two companions paid half of the payment.

Then, Tian Chunzhi asked, "Boss Deng, are you free tonight? I would like to invite you to dinner."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Boss Tian, ​​I'm sorry, I still have things to deal with here. I'll come over in a few days to treat you to a meal!"

Tian Chunzhi said quickly: "Boss Deng, since you have come to Beijing, we should entertain you. How can we let you treat us to a meal?"

Zhou Shengli also said: "Yes, please give us a chance to entertain, Boss Deng."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It's just a meal. It doesn't matter who treats me. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll come over in a few days."

Zhou Shengli and the other two said politely, "Okay, Boss Deng, take care!"

…

"Aunt Wang, there are longans, ground pineapples and jackfruits for sale at the corner of the street. If you want to buy some, go quickly!"

"Oh, it's finally here. My eldest grandson has been craving for dragon eyes for many days!"

"Wow, I can eat the delicious jackfruit again. I really love this fruit. It tastes fragrant and sweet. It's a pity that it is only available for sale for a few days a year."

"Finally, I can eat pineapples again. This sweet and sour pineapple is my favorite."

"Every time I eat these fruits, I want to become a southerner. Why don't we have so many delicious fruits in the north?"

"Hey, these fruits are delicious, but they are too expensive. I can't afford them!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. They shipped it all the way from the south, so it's understandable that the price is a bit higher. If you buy these fruits in the south, I believe they are not expensive either."

"Longan is so delicious. I really want to try the lychee that Yang Guifei couldn't forget. I wonder how delicious this lychee is."

"Yes, I am also very curious. Unfortunately, I heard that it is very difficult to keep lychees fresh. It is probably very difficult to eat lychees in our capital."

"Oh, what a pity! I hope I can have a chance to visit the south in the future and taste the dazzling array of fruits there."

“…”

As Zhou Shengli and his two colleagues expanded the sales channels for the three fruits, longan, ground pineapple and jackfruit, the long-awaited residents of Beijing flocked to the market, and the three fruits began to be sold at an astonishing rate.

Every day, a large amount of cash is returned, bringing huge profits to Zhou Shengli and his two companions.

This speed of making money made the three people excited, but at the same time, they were very worried. They were afraid that Boss Deng would stop this business one year, which would be really fatal!
