The inhabitants of the Ocean Kingdom generally marry later, and it is a common problem for men to marry at the age of twenty-two or three, and it is a common problem for men to marry at the age of twenty-two or three.

The objective reason is that there are too few women, and although some private media companies have vigorously introduced young women for profit, forming an extremely prosperous industry, they still cannot keep up with the needs of society.

It is difficult and expensive to get married, these are all factors that objectively exist in society.

A Civil War solved the marriage problems of hundreds of thousands of people, but the subsequent wave of family immigration sharpened the tension that had been eased. For the foreseeable future, there will be more men than women in Australia for a long time.

This situation has caused many new immigrants to be unable to consider marriage for the time being, they first have to work hard to make money to gain a foothold, and have a certain economic foundation after 4~5 years before they can consider solving lifelong events.

Officer Huang Jisheng's situation is very typical, he married his daughter-in-law at the age of 23, and this is the only way to settle down.

He is originally from Qingyuan, Guangdong, and was born in a big family with many brothers and sisters in his family.

Everything changed when he was 15 years old, his father gambled outside and lost all his property, and the whole family collapsed.

The next two years were extremely difficult, from homesteaders to tenant farmers, helping the landlord to farm all year round could not fill their stomachs, every year in the spring famine, they used wild vegetables mixed with gruel that could be seen in people, and the three younger brothers and sisters of the family died one after another.

When he was 17 years old, he heard that it was good to make a fortune in New Jinshan, Australia, which is a good place with milk and honey.

When I came to Australia, it was really different.

Huang Jisheng initially worked at the wharf of Qingdao Port, although the work was quite hard, but the monthly salary income could eat meat every day and save some, which was a good day that he could never dream of before.

Two years later, after paying off the loan for the ferry ticket to Australia, he applied for an official identity paper and became a new Australian.

Later, the brothers and sisters and parents of the family moved over one after another, and all settled here in Qingdao.

With an official identity paper, Huang Jisheng joined the dock militia, participated in military training on a daily basis, patrolled to maintain social order, and performed quite well in all aspects.

Later, the situation between the north and the south was tense, and in accordance with Shangfeng's order, Qingdao formed a basic militia team for semi-full-time military training, and Huang Jisheng was fortunate to be among them and became a member of the Qingdao militia division.

Brother Hu met at that time, he was a veteran of the Shangri-La Weiwu Division, an old qualified military chief, serving as an instructor in charge of military training, it was really ruthless in training, and he was often whipped with a whip of corporal punishment, and he was scolded with blood, and he was locked up at worst, and those days were really difficult.

It is precisely with this kind of rigorous training that we can quickly transform from a militia into a qualified soldier and pick up a life on the battlefield.

Looking back on it now, it's embarrassing.

It has been 9 years since he first set foot in Australia, Huang Jisheng has finally created a happy home, he cherishes all this very much, and there is a large icon of His Majesty hanging in the middle of the main hall of the home, and every morning he gets up with a stick of incense to thank His Majesty for his blessing.

This is very common among the neighbors on the left, and if someone does not present the image of His Majesty in the house, they are regarded as an anomaly and are pointed at behind their backs.

Huang Ji grain and oil line

When it was approaching dusk, there were not many customers in the grain and oil store, only a few five or six people, all familiar neighbors in the neighborhood, who bought grain and oil and stood there chatting, and were not in a hurry to go back.

There are two women holding children standing at the door, one is tall and the other is strong, this is Huang Jisheng's wife and concubine, the children are naturally his species, both are daughters, the older one is more than a year old, and the younger one is only more than 7 months old.

The tall one is called Gao Mei, this is the daughter-in-law that Huang Xiusheng is marrying at a great cost, she is 1.8 meters tall, half a head taller than Huang Jisheng, she really deserves to be a high sister!

I think I was the daughter-in-law who was booked through a local media company in Qingdao, and the deposit alone cost 60 gold oceans, and more than 4 months later, the media company notified the person to go to the phase, and Huang Jisheng rushed over happily and found that there were only three women left.

A bucktooth girl, a girl with weak legs, and a high sister.

This media company is also arrogant and bluntly said; Hurry up and pick, the action is late and even these three are gone, and you have to wait until the next batch, as for three months or half a year, it's hard to say, the supply is tight!

Huang Jisheng spit out a mouthful of old blood with a lot of anger, but it didn't work.

The contract is written that the family background is innocent, the age of 14 years old and above is unmarried Huanghua girl, dignified appearance, no disability Yunyun, as for the virtuous lady to keep the family, filial piety to the in-laws, who knows?

Isn't the bucktooth sister a yellow flower girl?

Even if this girl with weak legs and feet was injured in a fall on the boat, it would be good to marry and take home to raise, what can it be worth?

As for Gao Mei, is there a definite height in the contract?

I have to say that the pit of the media company is deep, and it is very arrogant, and it is bluntly said to pick it quickly, and if you move slowly, these few will be gone, so you have to wait for the next batch.

As for when the next batch of ships will arrive at the port, it may be three or five months, or it may be seven or eight months in half a year, and the quality is not necessarily as good as this batch, and the supply of goods is tight!

No way, Huang Jisheng pinched his nose and handed over the matchmaker's money, grooming money, sedan chair money, going out money, pretending money, and red money for happy events, arranged by the media company, and sent Gao Mei's beautiful dress to the sedan chair, blowing and playing all the way back to marry.

Whenever I think of it

A smug smile will appear on Huang Jisheng's face, because of what...... Found a treasure.

He didn't expect that after the tall and thin girl who was tall and thin like a bamboo pole married home, after a few months of delicious food and drink, her body grew like a wicker sprout, and gradually became exquisite and more and more beautiful.

After giving birth to her daughter, Gao Mei has become more feminine, isn't this a treasure?

Even if you take your family out to the theater, it is very face-saving.

Think about it, everywhere you go, you are half a head taller than Officer Huang Jisheng, can you lose face?

The strong one is the Caucasian woman that Huang Jisheng exchanged for a cane, and it is said that she is a family member of a traitor, who knows?

Anyway, this white concubine has a thick waist and a strong body, and she can work in the Huang Ji grain and oil store to be able to withstand a man's strong labor, and she also helps Huang Jisheng inherit the lineage, what else can she ask for?

When I left the country, I smelled the rich smell of cooked sheep and scorpions from home.

Huang Jisheng carried two katanas, one long and one short, in his left hand, and a few oiled paper bags in his right hand, which were braised fat sausages, pig ears, two kinds of assorted side dishes and red oil mixed with bamboo shoots from a braised vegetable shop that he bought from a braised vegetable shop.

"Master, you're back." Gao Mei came up with Bai Niu, and a quick-eyed guy in the store took over the things in Huang Jisheng's hands and sent them back to the house happily.

"Here, give Daddy a hug." Huang Jisheng took Xiaodouding from Gao Mei's hand and stood at the door of the house teasing with a satisfied look.

Gao Mei stood aside and began to babble to report to the master;

"Master, today's business is good, selling more than 1,100 catties of grain, 320 catties of noodles, more than 150 catties of oil, and more than 70 catties of cashew nuts, the Wang Er Restaurant on Front Street took 400 catties of grain, 60 catties of oil did not give money, saying that the lord agreed, and allowed them to pay on credit.

Boss Wu's meat stall sent 35 catties of lamb backbones, let's clean it and cook it all in several pots.

Anyway, I can't finish eating, and I can still eat the next hot meal, so it's not in the way.

The fifth brother and the sixth brother came to the master in the afternoon, saying that there was something wrong, and when they saw that you were not there, they left in a hurry.

We said hello to him, and asked these two little uncles to come to the house at night to eat sheep and scorpions together, and they also responded, and they were about to come.

Nan Nan is spitting up milk again, let's be a little worried, do you want to ask Lang Zhong to take a look......"

"What's the matter with Little Five and Little Six?"

"They didn't say it, and I didn't ask, where can our women and Taoist people mix these things, wait for them to come and talk to the master themselves."

"Well, I'm not in a hurry, I asked Mr. Lang Zhong today, the child has a shallow stomach, don't be in a hurry to lie down after drinking milk, just hold and play for a while."

"Oh, then we'll rest assured." Gao Mei patted her chest, feeling a little choppy.

Huang Xiaowu and Huang Xiaoliu are Huang Jisheng's two younger brothers, one works as a groom in the bus dealership, and the other works as a buddy in the theater.

This income is average in Qingdao, which is much less effort than working at the wharf, and it will not be oppressed by old immigrants on the wharf.

It won't be long

Huang Xiaowang and Huang Xiaoliu came together, one holding an altar of rice wine in his arms, the other carrying a bag of apples, at this time, the fragrant sheep and scorpions were all cooked, a few braised vegetables were put on the table, and the family sat around to eat and drink.

The sheep scorpion is held high in a large pot, and through a long time of cooking and spices, the rich flavor spreads and is very attractive.

When Huang Jisheng first came to Australia, this lamb scorpion meat was the most worthless, a penny could buy a bunch of them, and he couldn't eat them all in a day, so he ate the most mutton scorpion meat during that time, and slowly fell in love with this taste.

The family sat around and went directly to grab it, eating juice dripping and shouting.

After a period of fierce manufacturing, Huang Xiaowu picked up the wine bowl on the table and raised it to salute his brother and sister-in-law; "Third brother, the brothers and sisters of our Huang family can live a good life like today, eating meat every day, it's like a dream, thanks to you being the first to break into Australia, don't say anything, it's all in the wine."

"Well, it's all in the wine." Huang Lao Liu also repeated with a wine bowl.

Huang Jisheng laughed, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, wiped his mouth and said; "Australia is good, there is a chance for you two to go to the southern state to have a look, there are high-quality pastures everywhere, when our Qingdao division evacuated after the war, goose feathers and heavy snow fell in the sky, and the wasteland and mountains and forests were set off with snow white, which was called a spectacular."

"Third brother, we don't want to go to Nanfang Prefecture, we want to find a stable job now, marry a daughter-in-law and start a family in the future, and live a harmonious and beautiful life in Qingdao."

Hearing something in Huang Xiaowu's words, Huang Jisheng put down the wine bowl, stared at him with his eyes and asked; "Little Five, what are your plans?"

"Brother, I have no interest in being a coachman for a lifetime, I heard that now Dongfanghong Machinery Factory is recruiting, the treatment there is very good, ordinary workers can get 20 Jinyang a year, and a little technology can get 25~28 Jinyang, Xiaoliu and I pondered that I want to go to work, of course it is better to learn some technology, but I heard that the machinery factory is generally not available, so we want to ......"

"You want me to help you get around?"

"Well, third brother, the errand between me and Xiaoliu will be completed for a while, and there will be a little left without worrying about food and clothing, but do you know how expensive it is to marry a daughter-in-law now, if you don't have 100 gold ocean (50 pounds), don't even think about it, even if you buy a Malay daughter-in-law, it will cost 40 to 50 gold oceans, Xiao Liu and I are both men who stand up to the sky, we can't rely on you for everything, right?"

"Okay, I'll check it out for you these days." Huang Jisheng agreed without much hesitation.

If your own brothers don't help, do you still help outsiders?

He suddenly remembered that the eldest lady of the Zhao Mansion who had a conflict on the street today was the main one, and if she had a word, let alone seeing two workers, it would be no problem to see ten.

Think about it, Dongfanghong Machinery Factory recruited 1,800 workers at a time, will there be fewer workers recruited later?

It's easy to stuff two people in without eating and drinking, it's a piece of cake!

It's how to talk to Miss Zhaofu, this has to be pondered.

"Come, this matter is wrapped up in the third brother, let's drink, eat meat happily, and don't get drunk and don't return."

"Okay, let's listen to the third brother and drink."

Seeing that the third brother readily agreed, the five and six brothers were overjoyed, and they raised their wine glasses in a panic.

The three brothers of the Huang family were all drunk, Bai Niu helped the old man Huang Jisheng to go upstairs to rest first, and the two helpers took Huang Xiaowu and Xiaoliu to the auxiliary room in the backyard to rest, and the meat and bones on the table were like a hill, a mess of cups and plates.

The family dog was so happy that he ate under the table.

Officer Huang's family belongs to a typical middle-class family, there was originally an old horse in the backyard, Officer Huang would take time to bring a gun and some old comrades to hunt in the field, and later these old horses were sold by Gao Mei, who would live, and the stable in the backyard was empty.

Seriously, keeping a horse in the city is more expensive than raising a family.

This is not a pasture, and you don't need money for green fodder, soybean meal, wheat bran, black beans and even eggs, and nothing like saddle harness, horseshoes, etc.

Gao Mei is a daughter-in-law who can live, of course she will not let her master spend money blindly.
