Australian Storm 1876

   Chapter 710

  Inhabitants of the Ocean Kingdom generally get married late. Men get married at the age of 22 and 23, even if they get married early, and they are at the age of 26 or even nearly 30. This is a commonplace question.

  The objective reason is that there are too few women. Although some private media companies have vigorously introduced young women for profit and formed an extremely prosperous industry, they still cannot keep up with social demands.

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

  A Civil War solved the marriage problems of hundreds of thousands of people, but the subsequent wave of immigrants from relatives made the conflicts that had been eased sharpened again. In the foreseeable future, there will be more men and fewer women in Australia for a long time.

  This situation has caused many new immigrants to temporarily be unable to consider marriage issues. They must first work hard to earn a foothold and have a certain financial foundation after 4 to 5 years before they can consider solving lifelong issues.

  The situation of police officer Huang Jisheng is very typical. He married a daughter-in-law at the age of 23, and he was settled.

  He was born in Qingyuan, Guangdong. He was born in a big family with many brothers and sisters in his childhood. He guards dozens of acres of fields to spend his days.

  Everything changed. In the year when he was 15 years old, his father gambled outside and lost all his property, and the sky fell for the whole family.

The next two years were extremely difficult. From self-cultivation to tenant farming, he helped the landlord grow the fields all year round to fill his stomach. Every year in the spring famine, he used wild vegetables mixed with gruel to show people. There were three young people in the family. The younger brother and sister died one after another.

   When I was 17 years old, I heard that it was a good place to make a fortune in New Jinshan, Australia. It was a good place for milk and honey. Huang Jisheng bit his teeth and signed up. The purpose was to save the family a bite to eat, but he didn't really want to make a fortune.

  After coming to Australia, it is really different here.

  Huang Jisheng first worked at the Qingdao Port Terminal. Although the work was quite hard, his monthly wage income can be eaten every day and some can be saved. This is simply a good day that I never dreamed of before.

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

  Then my brothers, sisters and parents moved here one after another, and they all settled here in Qingdao. The whole family is doing their own business and living in a prosperous group here is also nourishing.

  With the official identity paper, Huang Jisheng joined the dock militia, participated in daily military training, patrolled and maintained public order, and performed very well in all aspects.

   Later, the situation in the north and south was tense. According to Shangfeng’s order, Qingdao formed a core militia team for semi-full-time military training. 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, a veteran military commander, and an instructor in charge of military training. During the training, it was really ruthless. He often punishes him with a whip and swears lightly. Dog blood sprinklers, but confinement, those days are really difficult.

  It is this kind of rigorous training that can quickly transform from a militiaman to a qualified soldier and get a life back on the battlefield.

  Looking back now, it is embarrassing.

It has been 9 years since he first set foot in Australia. Huang Jisheng has finally built a happy home. He cherishes all this very much. There is a large icon of His Majesty the King hanging in the middle of the main hall of the house. bless.

  This is very common among neighbours in the neighborhood. If someone does not offer the icon of His Majesty the King at home, they will be regarded as a different kind, and they will be pointed behind.

  Huangji Grain and Oil Company

  At dusk, there are not many customers in the grain and oil shops. There are only a handful of five or six people, all of whom are familiar neighbors in the neighborhood. They bought grain and oil stations and chatted there, and were not in a hurry to go back.

At the door stood two women holding children, one tall and the other strong. This is Huang Jisheng’s monogamous and one concubine. The children are naturally his kind, both of them are daughters. The older one is more than a year old and the younger one is only 7. Many months.

The one who is tall is called Gaomei. This is the daughter-in-law of Huang Xiusheng who has spent a lot of money to marry the Ming media. She is 1.8 meters tall and half a head taller than Huang Jisheng. She really deserves to be Gaomei!

  Thinking that the daughter-in-law ordered through a local media company in Qingdao, the deposit only cost 60 gold. More than 4 months later, the media company notified the relatives. After Huang Jisheng rushed over happily, he found that there were only three women left.

  A fangmei girl, a girl with inconvenient legs and feet, and another girl is Gao.

  This media company is also very arrogant and bluntly speaking; hurry up, the action is so late that these three are gone, and you have to wait until the next batch. As for three months or six months, it’s hard to say, the supply is tight!

  Huang Jisheng spit out a mouthful of old blood, but nothing happened.

  It is written in the contract that the family is innocent, the unmarried eldest daughter who is over 14 years old, is dignified, and has no disability. As for the virtuous family, the honorable parents-in-law, who knows if they don’t marry back?

  Isn’t Chiyamei a big girl of Huanghua?

  Even if this girl with inflexible legs and feet was injured in a fall on the boat, it would be fine to marry home and raise it. What is it worth?

  As for Gaomei, is there a certain height in the contract?

  I have to say that the pit of the media company is deep, and it is very arrogant. If you speak frankly, you should hurry up. If you move slowly, these are all gone. Then you have to wait for the next batch.

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

Nothing, Huang Jisheng squeezed his nose and handed over the money for the media, cleaning up the money, going to the sedan chair, going out money, setting up money, and sealing money for the wedding, arranged by the media company to send Gao Mei's beautifully dressed up to the sedan chair. Married all the way back.

  Whenever I think of this

  Huang Jisheng will have a triumphant smile on his face, because what... I found a treasure.

He didn't expect that after the tall and thin tall girl who looked like a bamboo pole married home, after months of serving her with delicious food and drink, her body grew like a wicker sprouting and gradually became exquisite. It's getting better and better.

  After giving birth to her daughter, Gao Mei has become more feminine. Isn’t this a treasure?

  Even if you take your family to go to the theater, it is still very face.

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

  Zhuang is the white woman Huang Jisheng bought for a walking stick. 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. Working in the Huangji Grain and Oil Store is worth a man's hard work, and she also helps Huang Jisheng pass on the line. What else can she ask for?

  Leaving all the way away, I smelled the rich smell of cooked sheep and scorpion meat coming from home.

Huang Jisheng is carrying two samurai swords, one long and one short, in his left hand, and several oil paper bags in his right hand. These are the braised sausages, pig ears, two assorted vegetables and bamboo shoots mixed in red oil from the braised vegetable shop that passed by. Just have a drink.

   "Master, you're back." Gao Mei brought the white girl to greet her, and the wise-eyed buddy in the store had already taken over the things in Huang Jisheng's hands and sent them back to the house with joy.

   "Come on, give Dad a hug." Huang Jisheng took Xiaodou Ding from Gaomei, and stood at the door of his house teasing with a contented look.

  Sister Gao stood aside and started chattering to repay her master;

"Master, business is good today. I sold 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. Give money, saying that the master agreed and allow them to pay on credit.

  Boss Wu’s meat stall brought 35 kilograms of lamb spine. Let’s clean it up and cook it in several pots.

  I can’t finish it anyway, I can still eat it next time, it won’t get in the way.

  Fifth and sixth brothers came to see the master in the afternoon, saying that there was something to do, and hurried away when they saw you weren’t there.

  We greeted him and asked these two uncles to come to the house to eat sheep and scorpions together at night. They also agreed, and they are coming soon after seeing the situation.

  囡囡囡囡 is vomiting milk again, we are a little worried, do we have to ask the doctor to take a look..."

   "What's the matter with Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu?"

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

  "Well, it’s not urgent for the nanny. I asked Mr. Langzhong today. The child has a shallow stomach. Don’t lie down in a hurry after drinking milk. Just hold it and play for a while."

   "Oh, let's rest assured." Gao Mei patted her chest, feeling a little choppy.

Huang Xiaowu and Huang Xiaoliu are two of Huang Jisheng’s younger brothers. One works as a groom at the bus shop and the other works as a clerk in the theater. 5 yuan, plus the tip reward given by the customer, is almost 7-8 yuan a month.

  This income is at an average level in Qingdao, which is much less labor-saving than working at the wharf, and it will not be bullied by old immigrants at the wharf. Police officer Huang will take care of it, and the employer will give it a bit of face.

  Not long after

Huang Xiaowang and Huang Xiaoliu came together, one holding an altar of yellow wine in his arms, and another carrying a bag of apples. At this time, the fragrant sheep and scorpions were all cooked, a few stewed vegetables were placed on the table, and the family sat together. Eat and drink.

  Sheep and scorpion are tall in a large basin. After a long time of cooking and the contrast of spices, the fragrant flavor is diffused, which is very attractive.

When Huang Jisheng first came to Australia, this lamb scorpion meat was the least valuable. You can buy a pile for a penny, and you can't finish it in a day. So during that time, I ate the most lamb scorpion meat. I slowly fell in love with it. Kind of taste.

  The whole family sat around and grabbed directly with their hands. The juice was dripping and they shouted happily.

After a while, Huang Xiaowu picked up the wine bowl on the table and raised it to his brother-in-law; "Brother, our brothers and sisters in the Huang family can live a good life like today. It’s like a dream, it’s because you were the first to break into Australia, you didn’t say anything, you were all in the wine."

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

Huang Jisheng laughed, took the wine bowl and drank it, wiped his mouth and said, "Australia is good, you guys have a chance to visit the southern state, there are high-quality pastures everywhere, our Qingdao Division after the war When we evacuated, there was heavy snow with goose feathers in the sky, and a piece of white snow that set off the wasteland and the mountains and forests was a spectacular scene."

  "Brother, we don’t want to go to Southern State anymore. Now we want to find a stable job. In the future, we will marry a daughter-in-law and have a family, and live peacefully and beautifully in Qingdao."

  Hearing something in Huang Xiaowu’s words, Huang Jisheng put down his wine bowl, staring at him and asked; "Xiaowu, what are your plans?"

"Brother, I have been a coachman for a lifetime. I heard that Dongfanghong Machinery Factory is now recruiting people. The treatment there is very good. General workers can get 20 Jinyang a year, and those with a little skill can get 25-28. Jin Yang, Xiaoliu and I are thinking about going to work. Of course it would be better to be able to learn some skills, but I heard that ordinary people in the machinery factory can't report it, so we thought..."

   "Want me to help you walk the way?"

"Well, third brother, the errands on me and Xiaoliu will be done in a short while, and there will be a little bit left without worrying about food and clothing, but you know how expensive it is to marry a wife now, there is no 100 Jinyang (50 pounds) that would be impossible. Don't think, even if you buy a Malay wife, it costs 40 to 50 gold. I and Xiaoliu are both indomitable men. Can't we rely on you for everything, right?"

   "Okay, I will help you check and listen these days." Huang Jisheng agreed without hesitation.

  My brother doesn’t help, can he help outsiders?

  He suddenly remembered that Miss Zhao Mansion who was in conflict on the street today is the righteous man. If there is a word from her, let alone seeing two workers, ten of them will be fine.

  Think about it, Dongfanghong Machinery Factory hired 1,800 workers at one time. Will there be fewer workers behind?

  There are five or six hundred at every turn. Is it as easy to plug two people in without eating and drinking water? A piece of cake!

  It’s how to get along with Miss Zhao’s House, this has to be pondered.

   "Come on, this matter is on your third brother. Let's drink, eat meat happily, and not get drunk or return."

   "Hao Le, we all listen to the third brother, drink."

   Seeing that the third brother readily agreed, the two little five and six brothers were overjoyed, and they panicked holding up their wine glasses to salute them.

The three brothers of the Huang family were all drunk. Bai Niu helped his master Huang Jisheng to go upstairs to rest first. Two helpers took Huang Xiaowu and Xiao Liu to the auxiliary room in the backyard to rest. The fleshy bones on the table looked like a hill. A mess of cups and plates.

  This family dog ​​was so happy that he ate with a round belly under the table.

Officer Huang’s family is a typical middle-class home. Originally there was an old horse in the backyard. Officer Huang took the time to take a gun and some old comrades to hunt in the wild. Later, these old horses were sold by senior girls who can live their lives. His stable was also empty.

  Seriously, raising a horse in the city costs more than raising a family.

  This is not a pasture. Any green fodder, soybean meal, wheat bran, black beans and even eggs need to be bought, but saddles, horseshoes and other things don’t need money.

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