Chapter 370 A marriage made in heaven

A restaurant in Fuqing County.

Gu Caiwei couldn't help but ask, "County Magistrate Deng, how did you recognize us?"

Deng Yunheng stood up and walked to their table and sat down, smiling and saying, "Last year when you were eating hotpot at my sister's hotpot restaurant, my sister secretly took pictures of you and sent them to me, so I could recognize you at a glance."

In fact, he really wanted to say that it was because they were in perfect harmony, but that would seem a bit frivolous. After all, it was the first time they met, and the other person's mother was also present, so it was better not to say such slick words.

Therefore, Deng Yunheng chose to tell the truth and be sincere.

The mother and daughter of the Gu family suddenly understood what was going on after hearing this. They didn't mind it at all. It was normal for the younger sister to help take a few secret photos.

Mother Gu immediately said with a smile: "It seems that County Magistrate Deng is still very concerned about our 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 impress any man."

While speaking, he was full of emotion in his heart. His father's vision was really impeccable. The girl in front of him looked much more beautiful than in the photo. She was indeed an outstanding girl with a figure and appearance that was no worse than his sister-in-law, and even better temperament.

Especially her shy look, which really makes people unable to help but be moved.

Gu Caiwei glanced at him and said shyly, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. I'm just an ordinary-looking girl."

She was also silently sizing him up. He wasn't handsome, but perhaps because he graduated from a top university like Peking University, and he held great power at a young age, he had a temperament that ordinary people didn't have.

His eyes were very deep, as if he could see through people's hearts.

When Gu Caiwei's eyes met his, his gaze seemed to be able to conduct electricity, making her feel numb inside.

At the same time, Gu's mother was also looking at Deng Yunheng. He looked better than she expected. His unique temperament made him look very outstanding. Even if he was standing in a crowd, you could still see him at a glance.

And he looks very confident, as if nothing in this world can stump him.

It is said that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes. Now Gu's mother has this feeling.

At this time, Deng Yunheng's mouth was as sweet as honey, and he continued to praise: "I am speaking the truth. If you are just an ordinary-looking girl, then which girl in the world is worthy of the word beautiful?"

These words made Gu Caiwei very happy.

Because the Gu mother and daughter wanted to observe Deng Yunheng, they chose a relatively remote location in the hotel. If they didn't speak loudly, no one would be able to hear them in this noisy environment.

While they were talking, the proprietress came over with a tray on which was a pot of good tea, a dish of vegetarian dishes, a dish of fried peanuts, and a bowl of white porridge. She put the food down one by one and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Deng, we have two more distinguished guests. Please enjoy your meal."

After the proprietress left, Mother Gu asked, "County Magistrate Deng, do you often eat out?"

Deng Yunheng nodded and said, "Well, I usually eat breakfast and lunch outside. At night, if I have enough time, I cook for myself. If I don't have enough time, I just eat something outside, or I just make some instant noodles or something."

Mother Gu said: "Although the food outside is delicious, it is not good to eat outside every day. It lacks the taste of home."

Deng Yunheng poured tea for the mother and daughter, and sighed, "It can't be helped. This is what it's like when you work in a foreign country."

Mother Gu said meaningfully: "It will be nice when you get married in the future. When you come home from work, you can have a hot meal. That's the taste of home."

Deng Yunheng looked at Gu Caiwei and said with a smile, "I would like to eat this hot meal as soon as possible, but I don't know if others are willing to do so."

Gu Caiwei blushed at the blunt language and said shyly, "Just talk, why are you looking at me?"

As she spoke, her heart beat many times faster than usual.

She was not stupid. Deng Yunheng's words to her made her understand his feelings. Now she was happy, shy, and a little nervous. In short, she was very confused.

There is no doubt that she has a good impression of Deng Yunheng. The two have exchanged more than a dozen letters so far. From the contents of the most recent letters, it seems that both of them have hinted at their feelings for each other, but the only thing left is a thin layer of window paper that has not been broken.

Now that they met, Deng Yunheng's appearance and temperament were even better than she had imagined. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved.

After all, those dozen or so letters that I put so much effort into were not written in vain.

Especially when their eyes met, the electric shock-like reaction made Gu Caiwei realize 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 eat and talk!"

Mother Gu said with a smile: "Okay, let's eat and talk."

Soon, lunch was almost finished.

Deng Yunheng rushed to pay the bill, and then said, "Aunt Chen, I still have work to do, so I'll excuse myself first. I just told the boss lady to prepare some delicious dishes this afternoon. We'll have dinner here at five o'clock. What do you think?"

Mother Gu smiled and said, "Okay, then you can go and get busy first. See you in the afternoon."

Deng Yunheng nodded, then said hello to Gu Caiwei before returning to the county government to work.

After Deng Yunheng left, the mother and daughter of the Gu family also walked out of the hotel and went all the way back to the guesthouse.

The two security guards arranged by Gu's father did not appear in front of them, but only protected them secretly.

Back at the guesthouse, Mother Gu didn't waste any words and asked directly: "Weiwei, you have met the person. I think County Magistrate Deng is really good. What do you think?"

In front of her mother, Gu Caiwei had no intention of hiding anything and nodded, "He is a good person."

Mother Gu smiled and said, "Since you think it's a good idea, then just tell him what he wants to say this afternoon. Anyway, you should have understood what he meant just now. Both his father and he are satisfied with you."

Gu Caiwei couldn't help but ask, "Mom, isn't this too fast? We've just met, and you're going to confirm your relationship?"

Mother Gu said, "Although you have just met, you have been writing to each other for several months, haven't you? In ancient times, men and women would only meet formally on their wedding night. You have been writing to each other for several months and have already established a foundation for love. Now you have met again and are satisfied with each other, so why are you still delaying?"

Gu Caiwei hesitated and said, "But we don't even know who is in his family or what they do!"

"What does it matter? You like him as a person. You've met his father and sister before. His father is just an ordinary country boy. But his sister can open such a big hot pot restaurant in Nanning. Her family's financial conditions must be good."

Mother Gu said, "If you want to know more specifically, just ask him during lunch this afternoon."

Gu Caiwei nodded and said, "Then let's ask him during lunch. We have to know who's in his family and whether they're easy to get along with!"

Mother Gu said, "You should know about it, but it's not important because his job means he has to stay away from home for a long time. He may only go back occasionally during the holidays. He definitely doesn't have much time to spend with his parents and siblings. Whether you get along well with his family or not, it won't affect you."

Gu Caiwei thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she stopped worrying about it.

…

After traveling outside for two or three months, Deng Shirong returned to Nanning again.

At this point, he already had enough ginkgo trees stored in his space, and he only needed to wait for an opportunity to transplant them in batches to the village roads.

Of course, it is impossible to transplant hundreds of trees at one time. Instead, we plan to transplant them in dozens or even hundreds of times. It depends on the situation. If the timing is right, we will plant more trees. If the timing is not right, we will plant one or two trees at a time. This way, it will not attract attention.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if you extend the timeline and take three to five years to complete the planting. It's much better than planting saplings.

"grandfather!"

Seeing Deng Shirong, Xiao Dong'er ran over quickly.

Deng Shirong squatted down, opened his arms and picked her up, and said with a smile: "Xiao Dong'er, it's been so long since we last met, have you missed grandpa?"

Xiao Dong'er nodded heavily and said, "Where did you go, Grandpa? Why did you take so long to come back?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Grandpa went out to travel."

Xiao Dong'er blinked and asked, "Grandpa, what is traveling?"

Deng Shirong laughed and said, "It means going out to play."

Xiao Dong'er pouted unhappily when she heard this: "Grandpa, you never take me out to play."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Grandpa wants to take you out to play, but it takes a long time to sit in the car, and there is no place to sleep in the car. It's very tiring. When there is a place to sleep in the car in the future, then Grandpa will take you out to play, okay?"

Xiao Dong'er stretched out her hand and said, "Pink."

Deng Shirong held her with one hand and made a pinky promise with her 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 have a holiday."

"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. Yongjia Supermarket is about to open there. He has to go there for a while. He can only come back after everything is back on track."

Deng Shirong nodded and asked, "Did Yunheng call back?"

Deng Yunzhu continued, "I called my sister a few days ago, and she said that my second brother called her a few days ago and said he wanted to ask you something."

Deng Shirong checked 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 chef to make it for you."

"Then ask the chef to cook some of his signature Sichuan dishes!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

…

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Deng Shirong got a phone call with his second son.

After they greeted 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 good 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 build a feed industry chain."

Deng Yunheng was surprised and asked: "Feed industry chain?"

"The feed industry chain includes raw material suppliers, feed manufacturers, breeders, livestock and poultry product processors and consumers."

Deng Shirong introduced them one by one: “This raw material supplier is the starting link in the feed industry chain, mainly planting crops such as soybeans, corn, and wheat, which can increase farmers’ income.

Feed producers are the core link in the feed industry chain. Domestic livestock and poultry farming is growing rapidly, and the demand for feed is increasing. If you build a feed factory, you will definitely not have to worry about a lack of business.

Farmers are the direct users of feed, so there is no need to introduce this. Promoting the development of the breeding industry, as long as it is properly managed, can quickly boost the local economy.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The downstream of this industry chain is livestock and poultry product processing, which can be processed into food such as meat products and egg products, and can also create a lot of jobs. "

Deng Yunheng said: "This feed factory is already in our county, and there are many farmers, but they are only small-scale farming, because this kind of farming is relatively risky. For example, when I promoted shrimp farming before, I also sent experts to command it. I dare not relax at all, otherwise once it gets sick, the loss will be huge."

Deng Shirong said: "There are indeed various risks in breeding, which is inevitable, but we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Once a large-scale breeding farm is established, it will be very profitable if it is managed properly. Anyway, as a county leader, you don't need to get involved, you just need to provide policy support.

As for existing feed mills, you can also go and inspect them. If you think they have potential, you can also support their development and growth.

In short, for now, breeding and planting have always been the pillar industries for local economic development. As long as you start in these two aspects, expand the scale of planting and breeding, and then solve the most important sales problem, the economy of Fuqing County will naturally develop.

Of course, the industrial aspect cannot be ignored either. You will decide how to do it based on your actual situation. I am just providing some suggestions for your reference.”

"Okay, I understand. I'll think about how to handle this matter later."

At this point, Deng Yunheng changed the subject 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 was surprised when he heard this, and then asked happily, "Did they come to Fuqing County specifically to see you?"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "They really came to see me, otherwise they wouldn't show up in this small county."

Deng Shirong smiled from ear to ear: "How about this girl Gu Caiwei, her figure, appearance and temperament are all good, right?"

Deng Yunheng hummed and said, "Dad, your vision is indeed impeccable."

Deng Shirong said, "Since the mother and daughter have come to Fuqing County to see you, it means that the girl has taken a fancy to you. You must treat her well and take this opportunity to make things clear."

Deng Yunheng said, "I understand. I'll treat them to dinner this afternoon, and I'll find a chance to make it clear then. 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 o'clock in the afternoon.

It’s still the same hotel.

Deng Yunheng and the mother and daughter of the Gu family sat at the lunch table, on which were placed several local specialties.

After eating a few bites of food, Gu's mother asked, "County Magistrate Deng, we have only met your father and sister. I wonder how many people are there in your family?"

Deng Yunheng replied, "I have seven siblings. I have an older brother and sister, and a younger sister and three younger brothers. My older brother has started a family and has two children, and my older sister is married. As for my mother, she was not blessed and has passed away 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 at an early age, the mother and daughter of the Gu family felt more distressed for him.

Mother Gu did not mention his mother again, but asked: "County Magistrate Deng, I saw that your sister opened such a big hot pot restaurant in Nanning. It is said that it was opened with the help of your father. I wonder what your father does?"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Since the country encouraged individual businesses, my father partnered with others to contract out the kiln in the brigade, and then got a loan from the bank to open a big restaurant in the county. After he was elected as the clan leader by the tribe members, he raised funds in the tribe to open a passenger transport company and a food company. Currently, the business of these two companies is pretty good."

Mother Gu's eyes flashed with surprise, and she praised: "It is said that like father, like son. No wonder you are so outstanding, County Magistrate Deng. It turns out that you have such a capable father."

Gu Caiwei was also surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that Uncle Deng, who seemed ordinary on the train, had such a talent.

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Aunt Chen, you are too kind."

Mother Gu continued to ask: "Your sister has opened such a big hot pot restaurant, so what do your brothers do?"

Deng Yunheng said: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law are currently running a chain of supermarkets."

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, then your brother and sister-in-law are pretty impressive!"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "It's OK. You all know that my sister runs a hot pot restaurant. My third brother is still in college."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu's mother's eyes again.

As I said before, the value of college students of this era is absolutely incomparable to that of later generations. Anyone who can be admitted to college is a favored child of this era, and no matter who you mention it in front of, you will always be respected.

Gu Caiwei then asked, "Which university is your third brother in?"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Tsinghua University."

As soon as these words came out, the mother and daughter of the Gu family instantly widened their eyes.

Originally, they were already surprised that both brothers were college students.

As a result, one of the brothers was admitted to Tsinghua University and the other to Peking University. Few people could remain calm due to the shock brought by this news, especially those who were more aware of the value of these two universities.

Mother Gu exclaimed in amazement: "County Magistrate Deng, you brothers are truly amazing!"

Gu Caiwei also said with admiration: "I felt that it was not easy to get into a key university with a low ranking. I dared not even think about getting into a university of the caliber of Tsinghua University and Peking University. I didn't expect that one of you brothers was admitted to Tsinghua University and the other to Peking University. You are really amazing."

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment!"

Mother Gu continued to ask: "Are your two younger brothers also studying?"

Deng Yunheng said, "My fourth brother didn't make it to college, so he's now doing business. I heard he opened an appliance store that specializes in selling home appliances. I'm still in high school."

Mother Gu said with emotion: "County Magistrate Deng, each of your seven brothers and sisters is truly extraordinary!"

Deng Yunheng was modest for a few words before asking, "Aunt Chen, how about you? 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. And once Weiwei gets married, her father and I will be alone."

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Aunt Chen, they say a son-in-law is half a son. You and Uncle Gu are not alone, but you should have half a son."

Gu Caiwei glanced at him and didn't expect that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes was so good at talking.

Mother Gu was comforted and laughed out loud: "County Magistrate Deng, you are right, it is indeed a good thing to have half a son!"

Having said that, Deng Yunheng followed up with a statement: "Aunt Chen, I want to be your half son. Do you have the chance?"

This sudden showdown made Gu Caiwei suddenly nervous. 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, but fortunately she had experienced many storms and 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 Weiwei."

Deng Yunheng looked at Gu Caiwei with a smile and asked, "Weiwei, do you agree?"

Gu Caiwei couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him, and said with all her embarrassment: "How can you ask someone like that? How can I answer you?"

Deng Yunheng already had an idea in his mind and winked at her: "You don't have to answer. Not objecting means you agree."

Gu Caiwei bit her lip, feeling her face burning: "You... you are being shameless!"

"Not objecting means you agree. How can this be considered as playing rogue? Anyway, I will assume you agree!"

"Hate it, I'm ignoring you!"

Looking at the two people "flirting", Gu's mother knew in her heart that this marriage should be successful.
