Chapter 44 Acting as a matchmaker for seniors
When Liang's mother listened to what her son said, she couldn't help but be a little strange: "According to what you say, this Mr. Huang Kuan is a great talent, why is it that he is almost forty years old and has not yet started a family?" ”
"In the past, his family helped him find a local girl, but this girl heard rumors from outsiders that Huang Kuan was a fake foreign devil and treated foreigners, so she quarreled with him, and the two separated when they couldn't get by."
Liang's mother understood, of course she knew that Cantonese people rejected foreigners, and of course she was not so narrow and extreme from a merchant family like her. She pondered for a moment and said: "There are two suitable candidates, one is my dowry girl Qiao'er, 27 years old this year, soft temperament, well-behaved, but average appearance, otherwise you would have been accepted into the room by your father, so it has been delayed until now that she has not married; There is also a Yahuan Xiaozhen on the old lady's side, 21 years old this year, not young, the old lady has been saying recently that she wants to find a good family for her, that personality and temper are also suitable, and her appearance is not bad", Liang's mother suddenly became a professional matchmaker.
Of course, Young Master Liang is happy, this time there are two, it seems that Huang Kuan's daughter-in-law has fallen: "Mom, then you go and ask them, explain the situation to them clearly, see what they say, if you want, arrange marriage for them immediately."
"In such a hurry? Mr. Huang Kuan hasn't replied yet, don't mess up. ”
"No, my senior only asks the other party to have a gentle personality and serve people, he is this age, when will he have a son?"
"You're still a kid, what the are you doing? Okay, I'll ask you, see if you're in a hurry," Liang's mother babbled to find someone.
Things went surprisingly smoothly, those two girls were actually willing, but this time it stumped Young Master Liang, which one to choose, Young Master Liang, who hesitated for a moment, patted his thigh, this is not my own daughter-in-law, this problem should let Huang Kuan choose, I am salty and eat radish and worry about it.
The next day, I met Huang Kuan and told him about it. Huang Kuan was silent for a while and didn't speak, and Young Master Liang thought that he was also struggling with which one to choose, so he said directly: "Senior, otherwise you will marry both, you see that I have already decided on two family affairs now."
Huang Kuan didn't speak, in fact, he wasn't entangled in which one to choose, he was moved by Young Master Liang, this junior brother is really a believer, I thought he was joking, how could he think that he would find someone so quickly, and find two of them at once. Huang Kuan was neither abusive nor greedy, and made a choice very happily: "I don't have the ability of yours, it's good to have one, just choose the older one, I'm too young to be afraid that I won't be able to talk about it."
"Then you don't have to worry, this Xiao Zhen is the maid in my grandmother's room, she has something to say to the old lady, and I'm afraid I won't have anything to say to you? Senior, you have to think clearly, after this village, there will be no such shop. Young Master Liang started joking again.
"You kid! I'm kidding me again! Huang Kuan was already familiar with his way of speaking.
"Okay, I'm not joking, then it's decided, just choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, hurry up and get your marriage done, and my wish will be fulfilled."
"Alas, my parents died when I was a child, my grandmother raised me, and now my grandmother is gone, and there are only one sister and three nephews in the family, so they don't have to worry about this kind of thing, I think it's better to be simpler, what do you say?" Huang Kuan must ask for his opinion, now Young Master Liang is both a matchmaker and a member of the woman's family, this identity is a bargain.
"I think it's okay, it's too cumbersome for fear of tiring you, but our family is estimated to have to handle it, this Qiao'er sister is my mother's dowry girl, I grew up with her since I was a child, my mother regards her as a sister, such a yellow flower girl (although a little older) is married, my mother must handle it, or I will tell her, try to make it as simple as possible."
The two discussed and decided on the marriage.
Young Master Liang was a matchmaker for the first time, and found that it was not difficult and quite smooth, and his voice was much lighter when he was in a good mood: "Senior, there is still something to trouble you, I need you to help me train a group of medical personnel, it is best to imitate the military doctors of the foreign army to cultivate, that is, to deal with trauma, gunshot wounds, disinfection and bandaging, first aid, and it is best to deal with poisonous snake and insect bites, of course, I will help you find another teacher in this area, the number of people needs forty or fifty people, and it is best for you to open a separate major here." ”
"The training of military doctors is not a difficult matter, the original director of Boji Hospital, Jia Youhan, has been a military doctor, he returned to the United States last year to recuperate, and it is estimated that he will come back this year, I am a surgeon, I can teach most of the content of military doctors, but there are so many people, I don't know if I can recruit so many students at once?" When it comes to professional issues, Huang Kuan is naturally not afraid of trouble.
"I'll arrange the recruitment. Also, I'm going to go out to train our Liang family's escort team in a few days, and I'll be away for a long time, so your marriage must be done as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be decent if I, the matchmaker, aren't there? After the matter was discussed, he began to laugh with Huang Kuan again.
Huang Kuan was also taken by him, and spread his hands: "The medical school has just opened, and there are many things, I can't keep busy, how can I have time now, why don't you help?" ”
Young Master Liang suddenly didn't have a clue: "Alas, I'd better go home and let them be busy, don't worry about it, just wait for the bride to come to the door."
Young Master Liang, who had fulfilled a wish, happily returned to Liangjiazhuang and handed over the matter to his mother. I thought that Huang Kuan's life experience had been changed by him, and this daughter-in-law had also found him a daughter-in-law, hoping that his life would be more comfortable and not die young as in history.
The next day, the young master Liang, who returned to Tianbaoxing and waited for the foreign businessmen to come to him to cooperate, did not wait for the foreign businessmen, but waited for the fifth uncle Liang Haowen.
"Oh, Fifth Uncle, it's hard work, come and drink saliva and rest, I'm tired for a while" Young Master Liang patted the fifth uncle's ass flatteringly.
"Fortunately, I don't work too hard, and I don't need to do my own work, to be honest, the mountains are cooler than Guangzhou, but there are too many mosquitoes. Fortunately, you are thoughtful, we have all the things we bring, or without this mosquito coil that smokes mosquitoes, we really can't stay in the mountains. "The fifth uncle looks a little darker and thinner, but he is in good spirits.
"Poisonous snakes and mosquitoes in the mountains are the most uncomfortable, Qiongzhou is the same as Guangzhou, there is no cold winter, there will be all year round, we have to do a full job of preparation in this regard, and a large number of personnel will soon go over to concentrate on training, in case of loss of personnel caused by snakes and insects, it will cause instability, and remind the team members to pay attention to this problem." Young Master Liang understands that in order to train a group of ordinary people into qualified soldiers, the details that need to be paid attention to are not known to be the work to be done.
