Chapter 413 My Dad is the Boss Here

Sunday.

Ministry of Finance, Beijing.

After having a simple breakfast outside, Deng Yunsong took the bus with Pei Qinghua to go back to her home to meet her parents, bringing the usual gifts such as cigarettes, alcohol, and tea.

After getting off the bus, Pei Qinghua said with a smile on her face: "Chief Deng, we're about to arrive at my parents' house, are you nervous?"

Deng Yunsong held the gift in his right hand and covered his chest with his left hand. He said with an exaggerated expression, "Now that you mention this, I'm really a little nervous. What are your parents' personalities like? If I snatch their precious daughter away, will they be angry and give me a cold look?"

Pei Qinghua chuckled and said, "Stop talking nonsense. My parents are reasonable people. They won't make things difficult for you."

Deng Yunsong said: "It's fine if you speak reasonably. I'm afraid of encountering parents who want to break up a couple, which would be difficult to deal with."

Pei Qinghua remembered that her mother had always emphasized the issue of family background to her, and couldn't help but remind her: "My father is easier to talk to, and he also supports my free love, but my mother is a little bit of a thing, so you have to behave well later, understand?"

Deng Yunsong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely perform well and not embarrass you."

Pei Qinghua smiled and said, "That's about right."

As they were talking, the two of them had already reached the gate of a residential compound.

Deng Yunsong looked at the name of this ministry and was not too surprised. After all, their Ministry of Finance was no worse than any other ministry.

However, considering that Pei Qinghua's parents are not young anymore, if they work here, their positions should be quite high, so Deng Yunsong asked, "Qinghua, your father should be the leader here, right? What level is he?"

Although Pei Qinghua didn't want to put pressure on him, since he asked, she didn't hide it. She blinked and said, "My dad...he is the head of this place."

Deng Yunsong shuddered when he heard this, stopped, and asked in shock: "Is your father the head of this place?"

He had been with Pei Qinghua for such a long time and knew that her family background should be good, but he never expected her to be so powerful. The leader here was at the same level as a real provincial governor, even more powerful than his second brother's father-in-law.

Pei Qinghua smiled and said, "Is this unexpected?"

Deng Yunsong smiled bitterly and said, "Who wouldn't be surprised to hear this? I really didn't expect your family background to be so good. Fortunately, you are low-key and didn't reveal your background early, otherwise I don't know if I would have the courage to confess to you."

Pei Qinghua comforted him, "Don't feel any psychological burden. My dad is my dad and I am me. No matter how high his rank is, it won't affect our relationship."

Deng Yunsong asked, "Don't families like yours emphasize matching up with each other? Do your parents have any objection to you dating me?"

Pei Qinghua said: "My parents are very open-minded. As long as I am happy, it's fine. Being well-matched is secondary. Come on, stop standing here stupidly. Let's go in quickly!"

Deng Yunsong took a deep breath and then followed his girlfriend towards her parents' home.

…

In the living room.

Knowing that his beloved daughter would bring her boyfriend home for dinner today, Pei's father naturally turned down all social engagements and stayed home to meet the man who would win his daughter's heart.

Mother Pei washed the fruits and put them in the fruit bowl, then said, "Old Pei, when our daughter brings him back, we have to ask him about it. Then you can ask someone to investigate to see if he is lying. I won't let our daughter date him until I know his family situation."

Father Pei said: "Don't worry, I know what to do, and I also believe in our daughter's vision."

Pei's mother said, "I also believe that the man my daughter likes should be good, but marriage is not just a personal matter. It is also related to the families of both parties. Anyway, my opinion will not change. If you want to marry my daughter without any background, I will definitely not agree."

Father Pei smiled and said, "Didn't my daughter say before that my second brother is already a deputy director at such a young age? This background is already good enough."

Mother Pei nodded and said, "As long as this background is true, I will naturally not interfere with their relationship."

Father Pei said, "Okay, hurry up and make preparations. We'll talk about everything after the people arrive."

Pei's mother responded and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

…

A little after ten o'clock in the morning, Deng Yunsong, led by Pei Qinghua, returned to her parents' home and met Pei's father and mother.

"Dad, Mom, this is my boyfriend, Deng Yunsong."

"Uncle and aunt, hello!"

"Hello!"

The two sides greeted each other and the subsequent pleasantries were ignored.

While sitting down to drink tea, Pei's father and mother looked at their daughter's boyfriend calmly.

His appearance is that of a typical square face, which looks very much like a leader, but it has nothing to do with the word "good-looking", and of course it has nothing to do with the word "ugly" either. It's just that his appearance is not bad at all.

In terms of appearance alone, the man in front of them was definitely not as good as their precious daughter. After all, their precious daughter's figure and appearance were very outstanding.

But for men, as long as they look decent, talent is the most important thing.

Father Pei took a sip of tea and asked, "Yunsong, I heard from Qinghua that you are from Yulin, Guangxi?"

Deng Yunsong nodded and said, "Yes, I am from Bobai County, Yulin, Guangxi."

Father Pei said: "I have been to Nanning, Guilin, Wuzhou and Baise in Guangxi, but I have never been to Yulin."

Deng Yunsong said: "This is normal. Yulin does not have a strong presence in Guangxi. It cannot be compared with cities such as Nanning, Guilin, Wuzhou and Baise. Nanning is needless to say, it is the capital of Guangxi. In addition to being a nationally renowned tourist city, Guilin is also the political, cultural and economic center of Guangxi with a long history. Wuzhou is also a city with very strong economic strength.

As for Baise, although its economic strength is not good, it is an uprising city and has a great reputation throughout the country. Naturally, it is not comparable to our Yulin. "

Father Pei smiled and said, "In the world as a whole, there are always some countries that are strong and some that are weak. In the family as a whole, there are always some brothers and sisters who are promising and some who are not. This is all very normal."

Deng Yunsong nodded and said, "Uncle is right."

Father Pei said, "I feel that you people in Guangxi love to eat noodles. You can have a bowl of noodles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The one that impressed me the most was the Laoyou noodles in Nanning. I remember that when I went to Nanning, I caught a cold by accident. But after eating a bowl of spicy and appetizing Laoyou noodles, my cold was cured."

Deng Yunsong laughed and said, "Uncle, that's a coincidence. The birth of Laoyoufen is really related to the common cold!"

Father Pei asked, "What do you mean?"

"It is said that in the 1930s in Nanning, a group of friends went to a teahouse in the city every day to drink tea and get together."

Deng Yunsong talked about the story of how Laoyoufen came into being: "One day, one of the good friends caught a severe cold and was bedridden. The teahouse owner specially prepared a bowl of noodles with minced garlic, fermented black beans, chili peppers, pickled bamboo shoots, minced beef, pepper powder and other seasonings. This food not only increased the appetite of the old friend, but also made him sweat and recover from his illness.

To thank his friends for their concern and the teahouse owner for creating the healing and appetizing noodles, the good friend wrote a plaque with the words "Old Friends Come Often" as a gift. From then on, the old friend noodles got its name, and combined with the rice noodles that the locals loved to eat, it developed into old friend rice noodles. "

Father Pei suddenly realized, "So this old friend fan has such an allusion!"

Deng Yunsong smiled and said, "It is said that this Laoyou powder has the unique effects of stimulating appetite, dispelling wind and cold, and refreshing the mind. I don't know whether it is true or not, but since you have experienced it yourself, it must have a certain effect in dispelling wind and cold."

Hearing this, Pei Qinghua couldn't help but ask, "This bowl of noodles actually has such a magical effect? ​​How does it taste?"

Deng Yunsong smiled and said, "It tastes good, spicy and appetizing. If you have the chance to visit Guangxi, I will definitely take you to try it."

Pei Qinghua nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely try this Laoyoufen then."

Seeing that her husband had not yet gotten to the point, Mother Pei could not help but ask, "Yunsong, I heard from Qinghua that you have a second brother who graduated from Peking University and is now working in Fujian as a deputy director?"

Deng Yunsong came to meet the girl's parents and had already prepared himself for questioning. So when he heard Pei's mother's question, he nodded and said, "Yes, Auntie."

Mother Pei asked, "Yunsong, Qinghua said that your second brother is only four years older than you. Even if he is a top student who graduated from Peking University, it is impossible for him to be promoted to deputy director so quickly. Can you tell us the reason?"

Deng Yunsong smiled and said, "My second brother was able to be promoted to deputy director so quickly. In addition to his own work ability, another important reason is that he was lucky."

Mother Pei was surprised and asked, "Good luck?"

Deng Yunsong said: "My second brother became the county magistrate of Fuqing County through his own efforts. Last year, he married my second sister-in-law, and then with the help of his father-in-law, he successfully took over the position of county magistrate. Fortunately, he encountered the good fortune of abolishing the county and establishing a city, and his rank was smoothly promoted to deputy director."

Father Pei suddenly realized what was going on. At the same time, he also accurately grasped a piece of information and asked, "Who is your second brother's father-in-law?"

Deng Yunsong said, "My second brother's father-in-law is the head of Wuhan, Gu. I wonder if you know him, uncle?"

Father Pei smiled and said, "I have met Sect Leader Gu a few times. It turns out that your second brother is his son-in-law. To be chosen by him, it seems that your second brother is indeed a rare talent!"

Deng Yunsong said, "Thank you for the compliment, uncle."

When Pei's mother heard this, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

Although the position of that Master Gu is still a long way from that of her husband, Mr. Pei, he is still a deputy minister after all, which is considered a high-ranking position of power. The fact that Deng Yunsong's second brother can become the son-in-law of such a family is enough to prove something.

Anyway, her family didn't require an absolute match, they just didn't want there to be too big a gap between the two families.

Thinking of this, Pei's mother greeted Deng Yunsong with satisfaction, and then went into the kitchen happily to cook.

Pei Qinghua gave Deng Yunsong an admiring look upon seeing this. She was originally worried that she could not convince her mother, but she did not expect that Deng Yunsong's second brother actually had such a "powerful" father-in-law. This immediately cleared the obstacles between them.

Father Pei exclaimed: "Of my three children, only Qinghua was admitted to a key university. Her two brothers were not as good as her, but your father actually raised a university student from Tsinghua University and Peking University. It's really amazing!"

Deng Yunsong added with a smile: "And my younger brother was admitted to Zhongshan University of Medical Sciences last year."

When these words came out, Pei's father couldn't help but be surprised. Although Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences is not as good as Tsinghua University and Peking University, it is also a veritable key university. If it is taken out alone, it is naturally nothing special. But three brothers, one is from Tsinghua University, one is from Peking University, and one is from Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences, which is really a bit shocking.

Pei Qinghua was also shocked. She glanced at him and said, "Chief Deng, you didn't tell me such important news?"

Deng Yunsong blinked at her: "You haven't asked me this before!"

Father Pei praised him endlessly, saying, "That's amazing! How did your father educate you? Three of the seven siblings have become key university students."

Deng Yunsong smiled and said, "My dad simply used monetary rewards to motivate us brothers and sisters, but this method doesn't work for everyone. For example, my second sister and fourth brother, no matter how much they were motivated, their grades just wouldn't improve."

Father Pei said with emotion: "It seems that studying requires talent as well as method!"

Pei Qinghua agreed, "Studying does require talent. When I was in high school, there was a classmate in our class who worked very hard. He was the first to arrive in the classroom and the last to leave for three whole years. As a result, his academic performance did not improve and he still failed the college entrance examination.

People with good talents can get high scores and easily get into key universities just by studying. There is really no comparison."

Next, Pei's father talked to Deng Yunsong about work. As the head of a ministry, he has decades of work experience. It is no exaggeration to say that he can gauge the other party's ability just by a casual exchange.

Pei's father was very satisfied with the result of this exchange. The other party was indeed an outstanding graduate of Tsinghua University. He was indeed talented and knowledgeable, and his political sensitivity was also above average. The only thing he lacked was work experience, which required time to accumulate.

For lunch, Pei's mother prepared eight dishes and a soup, which was a very rich meal.

After finishing the meal, Deng Yunsong stayed to drink tea with Pei's father for more than ten minutes before he stood up and said goodbye: "Uncle, aunt, it's getting late, I'll go back first."

Mother Pei hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, "Yunsong, wait until you have dinner before leaving!"

Deng Yunsong smiled and said, "I won't disturb you guys to rest. I'll come to see you guys next time."

Pei Qinghua continued, "Dad, Mom, Yunsong and I will go back to work and come back to see you next Sunday."

Pei's father and mother politely tried to persuade him to stay for a few more words before saying, "Okay then, be careful on the road."

After watching his daughter and Deng Yunsong walk out of the family compound, Pei's father said with satisfaction: "Our daughter has a good eye. Deng Yunsong is really excellent. With his work ability, we only need to give him a hand at the critical moment, and he will definitely have no problem reaching the department level in the future.

As for whether he can move up, it depends on whether he has the luck to do so."

Mother Pei was surprised and asked, "Old Pei, your evaluation is not low. Is it really possible for him to reach the department level?"

Father Pei said: "Based on the ability he has shown, even if he relies on himself alone, he should have a 70% to 80% chance of becoming a department-level official. If someone else helps him, then he will definitely become a department-level official."

Mother Pei was somewhat moved when she heard this. Although her husband's rank was nothing to their family, it did not mean that he was not in her eyes. On the contrary, no family would dislike having a son-in-law who was bound to become a department-level official.

After all, in our country's political system, the department level is the absolute backbone.

Mother Pei sighed: "It seems that I was worrying too much!"

Father Pei asked with a smile: "Do we still need to investigate him?"

Mother Pei waved her hand and said, "Forget it. He is already so outstanding, and his second brother's information is so clear. He knows your identity. It's impossible for him to lie to you about this kind of thing, so there is really no need to investigate."

…

Deng Yunsong and Pei Qinghua walked out of the family compound.

On the way to the bus, Deng Yunsong asked with a smile: "Chief Pei, did I perform well today?"

Pei Qinghua's eyes flickered as she praised, "Not bad, my dad rarely praises his juniors like this, Section Chief Deng is indeed capable!"

Deng Yunsong chuckled and said, "If you don't have some skills, how can you win the beauty? Chief Pei, don't you think so?"

Pei Qinghua glanced at him and said angrily, "Not serious."

Deng Yunsong took her hand and walked towards the bus stop with high spirits. It was indeed a proud thing to be able to date such a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty and a good background, and to be appreciated by her powerful father.

…

March 16th of the lunar calendar, Tuesday.

Today is the auspicious day for Deng Shirong to hold a full-month banquet for his second grandson. All relatives, friends and prominent clansmen have come to attend the wedding banquet, and the entire village of Naye has come out to help.

According to the customs and habits of Shuangwang territory, the full-month banquet will generally follow the rule of men first and women last, that is, the man's full-month banquet can be held in advance, while the woman's full-month banquet must be held one month later.

Ergou was born on the 18th day of the second lunar month, so today is his full moon banquet in advance.

The one holding Ergou is Deng Damei from A Zhangqi's family. She has officially taken up the post.

The villagers who saw this scene were all whispering.

"Hey, why is it the eldest sister of Zhang Qi's family holding Uncle Changmao?"

"You don't know yet?"

"Know what?"

"The eldest sister of Zhang Qi's family has been favored by Jiu Gong, who pays her 300 yuan a month to help take care of Uncle Changmao! After the full-month banquet, the eldest sister will go to Fujian with him. As long as she takes good care of Uncle Changmao, Jiu Gong will definitely not treat her badly."

"Oh my god, I actually have the opportunity to help take care of Uncle Changmao. I am so lucky!"

"It's true that they are lucky. The Zhang family has really had a turn for the better!"

"Think about it, Zhang Qilian gave birth to five daughters. She was really miserable at that time. If Jiu Gong hadn't stepped forward to reprimand her mother-in-law, she would have no idea how much she was despised by her mother-in-law!"

“…”

When the auspicious time arrived, Deng Shirong carried his grandson to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors. He then performed relevant ceremonies, said some auspicious words, and then returned to start the banquet.

Deng Yunheng, as a father, was unable to find time to come back for Ergou's full moon banquet. There was nothing he could do about it as there is Guangdong between Guangxi and Fujian. The two places are thousands of miles apart and it is not easy to make a round trip.

After Ergou’s full-month banquet, Deng Shirong and others returned to Nanning by car that afternoon, and Deng Damei also went with them.

After arriving in Nanning, Deng Damei was undoubtedly stunned by the luxurious houses in Wuyue Square.

Although every household in the Naye Deng family now has a savings of at least 50,000 yuan, which makes them considered wealthy in the countryside, and they also have a house in the county town, compared to other rural people, Deng Damei has seen the world.

But the mansion in Wuyue Plaza was so luxurious that even a family like the Gu family were stunned when they saw it for the first time, let alone Deng Damei.

Deng Shirong pointed to one of the luxuriously decorated rooms and said to Deng Damei with a smile, "Damei, you will live here from now on. Your second mother-in-law (Gu Caiwei) needs to take care of her health. I will take you to Fujian in ten days."

Deng Damei looked at this extremely beautiful room and said somewhat flatteredly, "Nine Ancestors, you don't have to give me such a nice room, just give me any room to live in."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "All the rooms here are like this, so you can live in peace!"

Sister Deng was really shocked when she heard this. She thought that it was indeed the Nine Ancestors’ house. It was really beautiful to the extreme. She obediently responded, “I know, Nine Ancestors.”

Deng Shirong said, "Put your luggage away first, and we'll go to the hot pot restaurant on the second floor to eat later."

Deng Damei nodded and said, "Okay, Nine Ancestors."

…

Over the next ten days, Deng Damei really lived a life that she had never imagined before.

Take food, clothing, housing and transportation for example. On the second day after arriving in Nanning, her second grandmother took her out to buy a lot of new clothes, and even took her to a newly opened large hair salon to get her hair done. It was said that this hair salon was opened by the nephew of the ninth grandfather.

As for the food, there is no need to say more. You can either go to the La Meizi Hotpot on the second floor or eat at home. No matter where you eat, the food is extremely rich and tastes so good that you can't wait to swallow your tongue.

Her family's financial situation has improved in recent years, and they no longer lack meat and eggs for food, but the meals her mother cooks are no different from pig food compared to what Jiuzu cooks here.

Speaking of living quarters, Deng Damei didn’t know how to describe Jiuzu’s family’s super large and luxuriously decorated house.

Even the palace where the emperor lived in the legend is probably no more than this, right?

Whenever he travels, he drives a car and has at least two security guards following him for protection at all times. His style is just like those tycoons in TV dramas.

In short, these short ten days of life completely refreshed Deng Damei's long-formed values ​​and made her realize that this is how rich people live.
