Chapter 353 Dad, I'm a Rich Woman Now

"grandfather!"

Sui Feng Hotel.

Seeing Deng Shirong, Xiaodong'er and Dongzi rushed over happily.

Deng Shirong laughed and hugged one of them, and asked, "Xiao Dong'er, Dongzi, were you good in 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 good nap and the teacher praised me."

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

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

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

Zhang's mother asked with a smile: "When did my in-laws come back?"

Deng Shirong said: "I just came back. Thank you for your hard work during this period of time, mother-in-law."

"You are too polite, my dear in-laws. I just pick up and take care of the child. It's not that hard."

At this point, Zhang's mother couldn't help but ask, "My dear, do you know Dongzi's classmate Chen Guosheng's mother?"

Deng Shirong shook his head and said, "This is the first time I've heard of Dongzi's name. I don't know who his mother is. Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Was Dongzi bullied by his classmates?"

Zhang's mother waved her hand and said, "It's not Dongzi's business. I asked about this mainly because I just met the aunt of Dongzi's classmate in kindergarten. The girl is pretty. I want to ask his classmate's mother about her. If possible, I want to match my Xiaojun with her."

“So that’s how it is!”

Deng Shirong suddenly realized, and then nodded and said, "Xiaojun is indeed not young anymore. I have actually been keeping an eye on him for some time, but I haven't met a suitable candidate. Since you have chosen a candidate, then leave it to me. I will send Dongzi and the others to kindergarten tomorrow, and then talk to the parents of his classmates about this matter."

Zhang's mother said happily, "I feel relieved now that you, my in-law, have come forward."

…

night.

Naye Deng’s Community.

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

Deng Shirong said: "It's OK. The turnover on the first day of opening was over 2,200. The business on the second day was even better, with a turnover of almost 2,500. Although the turnover on the third day dropped a lot, it was still over 2,000."

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

Deng Shirong said: "About 70%."

Deng Yunzhen did some calculations and said, "That's good. If we can maintain this turnover, we can easily make more than a thousand yuan a day, which means hundreds of thousands a year. This is much better than when Suifeng Hotel first opened.

If you run the business for a while and become well-known, you could potentially make millions a year.”

Deng Shirong laughed and said, "You can't compare them like that. When Suifeng Hotel opened, it was only a few years after the reform and opening up. At that time, only a small number of people had money. Now that the reform and opening up has reached its 10th year, more and more people are getting rich first. In addition, the hot pot restaurant started in the capital of Guangxi, so it is normal that it is better than the restaurants in the county."

Deng Yunzhen nodded and then smiled, "The hot pot restaurant is making so much money, I wonder how happy Ah Zhu, the money-grubber, must be."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Anyway, I have already 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 ability. As a father, I can only help her up to this point."

Deng Yunzhen said, "Dad, you've done well enough. There are still many people in the countryside who have to think twice before eating a meal of white rice, but my brother and I can earn at least hundreds of thousands a year. Who in Bobai doesn't envy us?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "The shop in Nanning is better than the one in the county. Dad treats you brothers and sisters equally. When your elder brother and sister-in-law open a few more supermarkets, I will give you the Yongjia Supermarket in the county. With this building, you can barely compete with the one-story shop in Nanning."

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

Deng Shirong said, "You have given too much to the family in the past. Ajie's status means that he cannot go out to do business with you. You will definitely not have as much money as other brothers in the future. Dad can only prepare more for you and ensure that you live a rich life without worries about food and clothing."

Deng Yunzhen smiled and said, "Dad, I am a wealthy woman now. Suifeng Hotel also has hundreds of thousands of revenues a year!"

Deng Shirong said, "Okay, don't refuse. We are not giving Yongjia Supermarket to you now. We have to wait until your brother and sister-in-law make the supermarket chain bigger and stronger. By then, a supermarket in the county will not be a big deal for your brother and sister-in-law."

Deng Yunzhen was deeply moved by her father's love. Even though he had many children, he was still thinking about making profits for his married daughter. Apart from her father, there was probably no other father like her in the whole Bobai.

"Dad, you're so nice!"

…

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 Chen Guosheng's parents. I will wait by the side. When Chen Guosheng's parents come, please introduce them to me. Thank you!"

Although Mr. Mo was a little curious, he didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and smiled, "Okay, Grandpa Deng Changdong, I'll introduce you to someone when they get here."

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

Soon, parents came with their children one after another, and among them there were many who knew Deng Shirong. When they met, they couldn't help but greet each other and chat for a few minutes.

After about ten minutes, Teacher Mo called out, "Grandpa Deng Changdong."

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

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

After the introduction, Teacher Mo said to Chen Guosheng's mother, "Mother Chen Guosheng, Grandpa Deng Changdong said he has something to ask you."

Chen Guosheng's mother was a charming young woman. When she heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes and she asked, "Grandpa Deng, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Mother Chen, I want to ask you something, but this is not the place to talk. I want to invite you to have breakfast. Can we talk while we eat?"

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 party was not much older than her, she would not dare to have breakfast with him casually, as that would easily cause misunderstanding.

Soon, the two walked to a nearby noodle stall.

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

Deng Shirong said, "It's like this. Yesterday afternoon after school, your sister came to pick up your child. Then an aunt took a fancy to your sister and thought that she and her son would be a good match. So she asked me to come and help find out if your sister has a boyfriend."

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

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

Deng Shirong was also excited. Since the girl didn't have a partner, this matter would be easy to handle. He immediately said, "Mother Chen, let's introduce each other to see if your sister is suitable for this aunt's son?"

Mother Chen said with great interest: "Okay, do you want to go first or should I go first?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It's just some simple information, whoever comes first will do."

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

Deng Shirong said, "The man is from Longtan Town, Bobai County. He is 24 years old this year. His family runs a wooden clothespin factory. He is currently helping out in his own factory. He has only primary school education. The young man has a slightly lower education level, but he is tall and good-looking. He should be a good match for your sister."

When Mother Chen heard that the man's family ran a factory, she became interested and asked, "Grandpa Deng, how many brothers and sisters does the man have?"

Deng Shirong said: "He has five brothers and sisters. The eldest and second brothers have already started families, and the sister is also married. Only he and his younger brother are still unmarried."

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

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Yes, in Longtan. But if there is any need, he can come up anytime by just calling him. After all, the factory is owned by our family and we have free working hours."

Mother Chen smiled and said, "That's right. We own our own factory, so of course we have flexible working hours."

At this time, the fans of both of them have been delivered.

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

The topic was a bit jumpy. Although Mother Chen didn't understand what it meant, she picked up the chopsticks and nodded, "I've seen it a few times."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Mother Chen, do you think my daughter-in-law is pretty good?"

Mother Chen found this even more strange, but to be honest, Deng Changdong's mother is indeed beautiful and has a good temperament. She is not an ordinary person. She praised directly: "Grandpa Deng, your daughter-in-law is really beautiful. Even my son said that Deng Changdong's mother is the most beautiful mother."

Deng Shirong took a bite of noodles and smiled, "Mother Chen, the man I just told you about is actually my daughter-in-law's younger brother. I mentioned my daughter-in-law to you just to give you a reference in terms of appearance."

Mother Chen became even more concerned when she heard this. Although many brothers and sisters look very different, with one brother or sister looking very good while the other one looking very bad, most siblings actually don't look that different from each other.

Deng Changdong's mother is so beautiful, so her brother should not be much different. I guess it's just like what Deng Changdong's grandfather said, he is tall and good-looking, and he is really worthy of her sister.

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

Deng Shirong said, "He has a pretty good personality. Before his family opened the factory, they ran a grocery store on Longtan Street. At that time, he always helped the family with chores. He was not like those idle people in today's society who always stir up trouble. He was a down-to-earth person."

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 and see what she thinks. I will tell you when I come to pick up the child in the afternoon, okay?"

"Okay, if there's anything you're not clear about, you can ask me in the afternoon."

"OK."

So, the two of them agreed on a time to pick up the child in the afternoon and then started eating rice noodles.

…

Naye Deng’s Community.

As soon as Deng Shirong came back, Zhang's mother couldn't wait to ask, "My dear, what's going on?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I have talked to Chen Guosheng's mother. Her sister is single. She is from Yulin, 21 years old, an employee at a packaging carton factory, and has a junior high school education."

Deng Shirong didn't waste any words and directly revealed the result: "I also told Chen's mother about Xiaojun's situation. Chen's mother was also very interested. Now I should go back and discuss this with her sister. When I go to pick up the child in the afternoon, I will talk to her again and I will know whether her sister has any thoughts in this regard."

"It's good that you don't have a partner. My Xiaojun is good in other aspects, except that his education level is lower than that of other girls."

At this point, Zhang's mother sighed and said, "In the final analysis, it's all my and his father's fault for not having the vision. If you, as my in-law, value education so much, then the education level of these brothers and sisters would not be so low."

Deng Shirong said, "Mother-in-law, you don't have to worry. Education does not represent ability. For most people, there is no difference between elementary school education and high school education. It just sounds better. In fact, it is not very helpful for work."

Zhang's mother said, "It's mainly because I'm afraid that the girl will despise him for his low education. After all, the girls have junior high school education, and my Xiaojun only graduated from elementary school, which is quite a difference!"

"It will definitely have some impact, but it shouldn't be a big problem. I'll know after I talk to her sister this afternoon."

"Um!"

…

The staff housing of the county native products company.

“Boom boom boom!”

After Tan Yalan came back from shopping, she knocked on her sister's door and called out, "Yafei."

In the room, Tan Yafei opened her sleepy eyes, got up and put on her shoes, while responding, "Coming!"

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

Tan Yafei opened the door, lay back on the bed, and muttered, "Sister, I have a rare two-day break, and I just want to sleep in. Why did you wake me up so early? Can't you wait until I wake up to talk about it?"

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

Tan Yafei opened her eyes helplessly and said, "Sister, tell me what you want to say. I'm listening."

Tan Yalan said excitedly, "Yafei, when you went to the kindergarten to pick up Asheng yesterday, an aunt took a fancy to you. Today, she asked someone to come here to inquire about you, hoping to match you with her son! I heard about the conditions of the man's family and I also think they are very good. I will tell you about it. If you think it's okay, then I will discuss it with the other party and arrange a blind date between you and the man. What do you think?"

When Tan Yafei heard this, she immediately recalled the scene of picking up her nephew yesterday afternoon. At that time, an aunt did take the initiative to greet her and chat with her, but she didn't pay much attention to it at that time. She didn't expect that the other person took a fancy to her.

She is already 21 years old this year, and it is indeed time to talk about marriage. Tan Yafei also knows that her sister has high standards. She is a little curious about the man who can catch her eye, so she did not reject it, but nodded and said, "Okay, you talk, I'll listen."

Tan Yalan sat on the bed and told her sister about the man's situation. Finally, she said, "The man's sister is the mother of Ah Sheng's classmate. I have met her several times. She is a very beautiful woman. I think her brother should be good-looking too."

Tan Yafei hesitated and said, "Sister, the other party's education level is a bit low, not even as good as mine."

Tan Yalan said: "The other party's education level is indeed a bit low, but other aspects are still very good, especially his family conditions, which are much better than ours, and his sister seems to be no ordinary person, but I just haven't learned about it in detail."

Tan Yafei asked: "Is the other party in the county town now?"

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

Tan Yafei thought about it and said, "As long as it doesn't affect my work, I have no 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 town with great anticipation.

In the past few years, as his peers in the village have gotten married one after another, he is now the only single person of his age in the whole village. It is impossible to say that he is not lonely at all.

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

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

On the phone, his mother kept praising the girl, saying that she was not only tall and good-looking, but also had a higher education than him and was from Yulin. In short, his mother was very satisfied with the girl and wanted to make her her daughter-in-law immediately.

In the past few years, as their family conditions have improved, not only has he raised his standards for finding a wife, but his parents have too.

It was rare to hear that a mother was so satisfied with a girl. Zhang Shoujun was really full of expectations and wanted to see what kind of girl could make his mother so satisfied.

…

afternoon.

Sui Feng Hotel.

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

Zhang's mother said with a smile on her face: "The first time the girl came to pick up my nephew, I ran into her and fell in love with her at first sight. This is indeed fate."

Zhang Xiuping looked at her third brother and said, "Xiaojun, when we meet them in Yulin tomorrow, you have to be smart and try to leave a good impression on them."

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 did you and Chen Guosheng's mother agree to meet tomorrow?"

Deng Shirong said, "Let's have lunch together tomorrow at noon. The location is Yulin Restaurant."

Zhang's mother said, "My dear, I will meet the girl tomorrow. I'll trouble you to help me."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. With Xiaojun's conditions, I believe that the woman will agree unless she is blind. Just wait for your daughter-in-law to come in!"

…

The next morning.

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

It is only forty or fifty kilometers from Bobai to Yulin. Although the current Yubo Road is not as easy to travel as later highways and secondary roads, it is still very good because the roadbed was widened the year before last. Now the roadbed is 12 meters wide and the road surface is 7 meters wide, which is much easier to travel than before.

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

The reason for arriving so early is naturally to learn about Yulin Restaurant and try to turn the "away game" into a "home game". Otherwise, if you come here on time and know nothing about the place, you won't know what dishes to order, and you still have to let the girl order the dishes, that would not be very good.

After entering Yulin Restaurant and spending about half an hour, Deng Shirong finally got to know most of the details of the restaurant.

The predecessor of Yulin Restaurant was Yulin County Chengguan Hotel, which was built in the early 1950s and is considered a very historic hotel.

However, the signature dish of Yulin Restaurant was completely beyond the expectations of Deng Shirong and the other two. It was actually famous for its fried noodles.

Because the chef who made this fried noodles is nicknamed "Neng Ji", the locals are accustomed to calling the fried noodles of Yulin Restaurant "Neng Ji Fried Noodles". People even call this restaurant "Neng Ji Restaurant". It can be seen that this fried dish is really awesome.

In addition to fried noodles, there are several other famous dishes: dog meat stewed with aconite, Yulin beef brisket, Yulin clear water dog meat, and sa meat (steamed pork with rice flour).

Among them, stewed dog meat with aconite was created by Jiang Deying, the chef of Yulin Restaurant. The characteristic of this dish is its fragrance. As long as it is served on the table, the whole restaurant can smell the fragrance. Many outsiders who come to Yulin go to Yulin Restaurant specifically to taste this dish.

People from Yulin, needless to say, must order this dish when dining at Yulin Restaurant.

After understanding the situation clearly, Deng Shirong and the other two had a clear idea of ​​what was going on, and then they left the restaurant and walked around and took a look around.

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