Chapter 211: Australian Upstarts
Uncle Gen, the story of Gen Youfa has become a well-known story for every group of immigrants in Australia.
Whether you are walking in the European settlement or the Ming community, you can always hear a lot of legends about Uncle Gen.
This once honest farmer has now fulfilled his position as the deputy director of the Australian Immigration Bureau, not to mention being a deputy, but he has great power, not only has the special qualification to review and issue a green card, but also has the right to recommend.
Uncle Gen, who is over 50 years old this year, never thought that he would one day become an enviable official, if he hadn't gritted his teeth and got on the Australian ship, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had such an opportunity in this life.
Uncle Gen, who has been promoted, is now a celebrity, and the immigrants who came by boat with him at the beginning will always say when they meet people outside, do you know Director Gen, I think we came in the same boat at the beginning.
Those new immigrants always like to listen to this kind of more inspirational stories, as long as they hear it, they will always ask the bottom line, so how did he become the director, doesn't it say that Uncle Gen is illiterate, why does the Australian government look at him as illiterate.
If the man said this, the boasting person would definitely have a unhappy expression on his face, and then said in a somewhat bad tone, what are you talking nonsense, Uncle Gen is illiterate, can't he be an official, he is saying that Uncle Gen has entered the night school tutoring, can he be illiterate.
In any case, the name has become the target of those who are inspired to create a career in various towns and cities in Australia.
The changes that fame has brought to Uncle Lao Gen's life are also obvious, with the continuous improvement of the level, there have been obvious changes in life, whether it is housing or going out, he is better than ordinary people.
According to the standards of today's Australian officials, he is at least a member of the fourth rank who is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty, and he is really on the grave of his ancestors, smoking.
This person became an official and became famous, so naturally there will be many people who want to cling to him, and some people who are active in their hearts began to think about marrying their daughter to him.
Although there is a certain gap in age, this was not a problem at all in ancient times, and it is probably very easy to want a woman with Uncle Gen's current status.
Uncle Lao Gen, who originally did not plan to marry a daughter-in-law, began to be moved after being told by his superiors once, and after repeated persuasion by his goddaughter, he met with a widow about 30 years old who had come from the new immigrant.
This widow is also a real person, knowing that Uncle Lao Gen is a big official, and she is afraid that people will not look down on her, so she has long been prepared for rejection, but what she never expected is that Uncle Lao Gen actually fell in love with her at first sight.
Fate is often like this, it is useless to force it before the time comes, Uncle Lao Gen just met the person he was destined for.
The widow was thirty-two years old, tall, with a strong body and a large buttocks, and she looked like a good hand at farm work in the countryside, and she could also give birth to a son.
Now that Uncle Gen has a status, he naturally hopes to have his own bloodline to pass on, otherwise it will be a lifelong regret.
Not to mention that marrying this widow is to fancy her to be able to have a son.
The wedding banquet of the two was held on the first Sunday after New Year's Day, and Uncle Lao Gen did not plan to hold a wedding, so the family sat together for a meal and received the certificate.
But when the matchmaker and the old neighbors in the past heard it, how can this work, you are now a member of the fourth grade, if this wedding is not held, how will people see you, and your wedding is still matched by Shangguan, how can you do it.
If you don't do it, what do you think, it's not in line with etiquette, if you don't have money, we'll make it up for you if you don't have any money.
Well, Uncle Gen, who has always been thrifty, was moved by the words, decided to hold a wedding, and also sent out a wedding card to invite many government workers he knew.
When they arrived at the official wedding scene, Uncle Lao Gen and Widow Wang had a black suit and a white wedding dress, and the two stood at the door to greet the guests, looking at the guests who entered one by one, Widow Wang felt proud for the first time.
I will also become an official wife one day, looking at my husband's befriending people, they are all some court officials, and there are a few obvious officials who are older than their husbands.
When Zhou Aiguo finally appeared, Uncle Lao Gen was simply stunned, he didn't expect the president to attend in person, and he was speechless for a while, but Widow Wang immediately smiled and said a welcome on behalf of her husband. Although he didn't know who it was, he was sure to be a big official.
When the people walked in, the widow asked quietly, "Who is this person, and how surprised you look." ”
Uncle Gen touched the beads of sweat on his forehead and said, This is the emperor of Australia, can you not be surprised, the invitation I sent was not given to him.
"Oh, the husband turned out to be for this, presumably the president must value the husband very much if he can come, and at the banquet later, you can toast a few times more times to make amends, and the president will not be blamed."
Uncle Lao Gen nodded, expressing his affirmation, and thought a lot of highly of his daughter-in-law. It seems that this daughter-in-law's relationship is still good.
Uncle Lao Gen, who was originally a focus figure, immediately became a hot topic among the Australian people after President Zhou Aiguo attended his wedding.
"Did you hear about it, Lao Gen's wedding, the president went to attend, and the Minister of Foreign Trade, and other bigwigs went, I heard that Lao Gen was able to be the mayor of the town by Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and later the president also affirmed his performance, I dare to say that he will definitely be promoted."
"In short, Lao Gen is lucky, and I don't know why I didn't have such good luck, I was favored by Minister Zhao, if I am asked to go to Panzhihua as the mayor of the town now, I am willing to go." The man said with a look of obvious envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Hehe, don't think about it, Panzhihua can be your turn now, it has become a fragrant bun, everyone knows that as long as you go there, you will be promoted, now I don't know how many people are waiting in line to go, you should be the deputy director of your community neighborhood committee.
was left behind, and the person who wanted to be an official was obviously not convinced.
"Hmph, what's wrong with the deputy director, didn't Lao Gen also start as the director of the neighborhood committee, as long as you have ambition, you can succeed, didn't you hear Lao Gen say so on the radio, you are just underestimating people."
The conversation between the two only drew a good-natured laugh from others, and anything can happen in this miraculous place of Australia.
Young people have dreams, maybe they can really come true, even if they are born as farmers like Uncle Lao Gen, they can become Australian upstarts, how can a young man not have a chance.
