Chapter 398 Deng Yi and Gu Jingyan
When Ruanruan entered the kitchen, her second aunt was talking to her mother about Gu Jingyan's blind date. She immediately walked over, took a stool, sat next to them, and said in a casual tone, "Second aunt, my sister-in-law just said that you were arranging a blind date for my cousin. What do you think of Deng Yi?" As she spoke, Ruanruan secretly pointed at Deng Yi, who was squatting to clean up the fish shells.
"Do you want to introduce Deng Yi to your cousin?" Gu Wenzhen asked her daughter. They all knew Deng Yi, the grandson of the old leader. Moreover, he was the only child of their Deng family up to his generation. Maybe because he was the child of the leader, when they were arranging a blind date for Gu Jingyan, they automatically excluded this child.
"What's wrong? Is it not possible?" Ruanruan looked at her mother in confusion. She and Deng Yi had known each other for quite some time. In recent years, they would come to her house for dinner whenever they had time. Ruanruan felt that she knew him quite well. But now when she heard how her mother asked, she wondered if there was something she didn't know.
"....No, he is a good kid, but I don't know what he and the Deng family think." As for others, if it works out, Deng Yi can be considered a very good choice. Both families know each other well, and they have watched the child grow up. Deng Yi has a good relationship with Ruan Shaoke and Gu Jinghe, so there is no need to worry that he will let Gu Jingyan down.
"Then, second aunt, what do you say? I just introduced Deng Yi to my cousin, and she thinks he's a good candidate. If you think so too, I'll ask Huo Haocheng to ask Deng Yi. If he agrees, it's still early, so let them go to the backyard and talk." Ruanruan arranged everything right away, and now all they had to do was wait for Zhou Lifang to nod.
"Sister-in-law, I also think Deng Yi is a good kid. Although he doesn't talk much, he is very efficient and upright when it comes to doing things. What's more, he and your Gu Jinghe are comrades-in-arms and they know each other well, which makes people feel at ease." Wang Qun also agreed. In the past two years when she was in Yuncheng, this group of children often came to her house to get together. Every time she told them that they didn't need to bring anything, they still did. When cooking, they also said they would help together and never stood aside waiting for food, so Wang Qun had a good impression of them.
"Okay, since you all said so, then I'll trouble Ruanruan to ask Haocheng to help ask." Zhou Lifang didn't have much contact with Deng Yi, and most of what she knew about the boy's character was from what others said. But now her sister-in-law and niece all said he was good, and her daughter agreed, so she agreed that they should meet each other first.
Just as Ruanruan said, today is also an opportunity.
After getting consent, Ruanruan stood up and walked to Huo Haocheng, whispered the story in his ear.
Huo Haocheng was speechless as he looked at his happy wife. He didn't know why his wife was so happy to be a matchmaker.
"What are you looking at? Go quickly! Go quickly!" Seeing that the man was staring at her, she gently pulled the man around and then pushed him in the direction of Deng Yi.
"Oh..." Huo Haocheng let out a long sigh, then imitated the way he did when he was matchmaking for Su Yanqiu before, and took Deng Yi's arm and led him to the backyard.
"What's wrong? Just say it nicely." Deng Yi was suddenly pulled up from the ground by Huo Haocheng and was taken away. He felt a little puzzled. He didn't provoke him, so what happened?
The two of them came to the backyard, and when they saw that there was no one around, Huo Haocheng let the person go. "Just now, Ruanruan came to me and said that she wanted to find a match for you, so I came to ask for your opinion."
"Matchmaking? Who?" Ever since Deng Yi came home on vacation, his parents started arranging blind dates for him after they knew that their independent regiment had been transferred to the capital. Moreover, during this period, his grandfather mentioned Huo Haocheng and Ruanruan in front of him from time to time, and also kept hinting that he should get married soon.
Now Huo Haocheng came to him and said that his wife wanted to introduce him to a girl. His first reaction was not to object, but to ask who to introduce him to.
"You also know Gu Jingyan, Ruanruan's cousin and Gu Jinghe's cousin." The most profound influence Huo Haocheng had on Gu Jingyan was that a few years ago, she accompanied her father to safeguard national interests in the United Nations conference room, and then went through the war with them. However, this girl was determined and never complained of being tired or injured. She did whatever she was asked to do.
Huo Haocheng felt that a girl like this was more than qualified to accompany Deng Yi.
When Deng Yi heard Huo Haocheng say it was Gu Jingyan, he also searched for relevant information about her in his memory.
Although the two knew each other since childhood because of Gu Jinghe, they were just acquaintances and did not have much friendship. The only time they had contact was at the United Nations a few years ago, when he was responsible for protecting her safety. Deng Yi still remembers clearly what the girl looked like at that time after so many years.
"Okay." Deng Yi was not a pretentious person. Since Ruanruan could get Huo Haocheng to talk to him, it proved that Gu Jingyan agreed to go on a blind date with him. Moreover, he had a good impression of her. Besides, the nature of their work was similar. There should be no disagreement on this point in the future, so he agreed to go on a blind date with her.
"Okay, you wait here, I'll go call the person over." Seeing that he agreed, Huo Haocheng turned and left.
After watching Huo Haocheng leave, Deng Yi found some water to wash his dirty hands, and then tidied up his clothes. At this moment, he was extremely grateful that his mother stopped him and asked him to change his clothes before he went out, otherwise he would have come here wearing only two pieces of rags, which would have given people a bad first impression.
As for Huo Haocheng, after coming out, he went straight to find Ruanruan. After telling her that Deng Yi agreed, he took Ruanruan and Gu Jingyan to the backyard.
"You guys chat first, I'll come call you when it's time for dinner." After sending the people there and introducing the two to each other, Ruanruan pulled Huo Haocheng back to the kitchen.
Huo Haocheng continued to help grill the fish. Ruanruan originally wanted to sneak back to see what they were talking about, but she was being stared at by Huo Haocheng and a few mothers. She felt embarrassed and went back into the house to continue their conversation and look after the children.
In the backyard, after Huo Haocheng and his wife left, Gu Jingyan looked at Deng Yi seriously.
"How tall and how much do you weigh? Do you smoke or drink?" The two of them walked towards the pavilion in the backyard, and Gu Jingyan started asking questions as they walked.
"I'm 185cm tall, and weighed 75kg during my last physical. I don't smoke or drink." Deng Yi gave a simple and clear answer to Gu Jingyan's question.
Afterwards, the two of them sat in the pavilion. Gu Jingyan noticed that he sat in a rather casual posture, but his back was still straight and he was well dressed. Just now, when he was talking, she deliberately moved a little closer and did not smell any smoke, so it was true that he did not smoke.
"Will you go crazy after drinking?" Gu Jingyan has seen people who went crazy after drinking and beat their wives and children half to death, so this is very important to her.
"No, as soldiers, we know how to drink in moderation. We always stop when we are drunk and never drink excessively. You can rest assured about that." As a soldier, especially those in special forces like them, they must always be prepared for a mission, so the regiment has a rule that under normal circumstances, they cannot drink alcohol. Even if they do drink, it is only a small amount.
"You know my job, so what do you think of it? Of course, I will go further in the future than I do now." Gu Jingyan didn't need someone who told her what to do, so she asked this just to see how Deng Yi would answer. She knew that he was the only son in the family. If he wanted her to stay at home to take care of the family after getting married, then forget it.
"That's your job. I have no right to interfere. Of course, if one day you feel tired, you can go home." Deng Yi did not feel that Gu Jingyan's direct question was unreasonable. Instead, he felt that it was very good. He felt that Gu Jingyan was very frank and would ask directly if he wanted to know something. Considering the particularity of their work, this kind of temperament was very good.
Gu Jingyan was also very satisfied with Deng Yi's answer. Now she believed what Ruanruan said about sharing the same ideals.
"I am very satisfied with you at the moment. How about you? I was the one asking questions just now. Do you have anything you want to ask me?" Gu Jingyan looked at Deng Yi with a smile in her eyes, proving that she was in a good mood.
Just like her name, Yan, when she is not smiling, is a cold beauty, unattainable; but when she smiles, she is charming and attractive, making people want to get close to her.
Seeing Gu Jingyan's smile, Deng Yi pretended to be calm, but his heart was in turmoil. "No, I think you are very good this way."
"Okay then, are we officially dating now?" Seeing that he had no problem with her, Gu Jingyan felt even happier. She now just wanted to quickly finish the conversation with him and go back to tell them that Deng Yi really liked her.
"Yes, please take care of me in the future!" Deng Yi was similar to Gu Jingyan at this moment. He smiled and stretched out his hand to Gu Jingyan.
"Please take care of me." Seeing him extend his hand, Gu Jingyan also extended his hand and shook hands with him, but they quickly separated.
"Then let's go back first. It's early now and we should have dinner soon." With that, Gu Jingyan stood up and started walking out.
Deng Yi followed behind her all the time and put the hand that Gu Jingyan had just held into his trouser pocket. After seeing her enter the house, he returned to the kitchen to look for Huo Haocheng.
