There is a security guard named Chen Ergou in the high-end residential area of Xipai Yujiang.
Chen Ergou's real name is Chen Qingguo. He is 25 years old this year. He was born in a poor family in a remote mountain village in BS City, Guangxi Province. He went out to work after graduating from junior high school.
Due to his young age and low education level, Chen Qingguo could only do odd jobs to support himself in the first few years.
After he became an adult, Chen Qingguo was influenced by the grassroots counterattack novel "Chen Ergou's Evil Life" and gloriously became a security guard. To show his determination, he also changed his name to Chen Ergou, hoping to climb up step by step from the bottom like Chen Ergou in the book, and eventually counterattack to become a famous boss.
All I can say is...you're very courageous.
Chen Ergou's road to success in the book is not replicable. Chen Qingguo does not have Ergou's ability, nor does he have Ergou's efforts, nor does he get the help of many noble people.
So, Ergou came out of that remote mountain village in the Northeast and reached the peak of his life in just a few years, while Chen Qingguo has been in society for ten years and is still a security guard.
This is why people have different fates!
Of course, Chen Qingguo has also made progress. He used to be just a security guard in an old and dilapidated residential area, but now he is a security guard in a high-end residential area like Xipai Yujiang. Both his status and salary are better than before.
Chen Ergou's current job is quite easy. He is sheltered from the elements and the owners' vehicles entering and exiting can be automatically identified. He does not need to worry about it at all. He only needs to take care of the entry and exit registration of outside vehicles.
This kind of job is really suitable for retirement.
That morning, Chen Ergou was at work when he saw a very dazzling car driving towards him from a distance.
Although Chen Ergou couldn't afford a car, as one of the security guards at the underground garage, he knew most of the cars in the country. However, he didn't recognize the dazzling car in front of him.
Seeing this car, which was almost as long as those long-distance buses, coming over, Chen Ergou couldn't help but walk out of the security booth and looked at the car parked in front of the barrier with amazement on his face.
"Fuck, this car looks so beautiful, much more beautiful than the most luxurious bus I have ever seen. It must be worth several million, right?" Chen Ergou thought silently in his heart.
At this time, the window at the back of the car opened, and a familiar head stuck out and greeted Chen Ergou: "Hello, I am the owner of XXX, this is my new car, please help me open the gate, and I will go to the property management to register the license plate later."
"Okay." Chen Ergou responded as he opened the gate.
I know the young owner in front of me, Chen Ergou. He is one of the most distinguished owners in Xipai Yujiang Community. The building where his house is located is the undisputed king of buildings in Xipai Yujiang.
Each household has one floor, which is really awesome.
"Thank you, here is a pack of cigarettes, you can take it and smoke it!" After saying that, the young owner threw a pack of cigarettes towards Chen Ergou.
Chen Ergou reached out to take the cigarette and watched the dazzling car drive into the underground garage. He looked down at the cigarette in his hand and found that it was the most popular Dalong cigarette in Guangxi Province. He couldn't help but put it happily into his pocket.
This owner is a very particular person!
…
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Liu Yunqing came to the Happy Marriage Agency alone.
There were seven or eight guests filling out information inside. Before coming, Liu Yunqing had already learned about the matchmaking process of the matchmaking agency in detail on the Internet, so she took a form and began to fill in her personal information according to the regulations of the matchmaking agency.
More than ten minutes later, Liu Yunqing finished filling out her information. When she handed it to the staff of the matchmaking agency, she couldn't help but ask, "Hello, I would like to ask, when can I arrange a blind date?"
The staff member replied: "It's hard to tell the exact time of the blind date. If it's fast, it can be arranged within three days, if it's slow, it can be arranged within a month."
Liu Yunqing asked again: "I came from Taiwan Province. I want to ask if you arrange a blind date for me, will we meet in Guangxi Province or Taiwan Province?"
The staff member smiled and replied: "We can arrange this according to the customer's requirements. Our matchmaking agency arranges blind dates in the provincial capital of Guangxi by default. If you want to arrange a blind date across provinces, the fees will increase accordingly.
Of course, there is another situation, that is, our matchmaking agency provides you with the contact information of the blind date partner, so that you can contact and meet privately, in which case our matchmaking agency will not charge any extra fees. "
Liu Yunqing nodded to show that she understood, and then added: "Finally, I have one more question. Is it confirmed that the person who is looking for a partner for me is Master Jiang himself?"
The staff member smiled professionally and replied, "Don't worry, that's for sure. Master Jiang is personally responsible for matching all the clients of our matchmaking agency. Other matchmakers arrange blind dates for clients based on the candidates matched by Master Jiang."
Only then did Liu Yunqing feel completely relieved. The reason she came to this matchmaking agency was because of Master Jiang. If it weren't for Master Jiang's help in finding a partner, then there would be matchmaking agencies everywhere.
Next, Liu Yunqing paid a registration fee of one thousand yuan.
The staff member reminded: "Ms. Liu, I have to remind you one last thing. The information you register must be 100% true. If you fill in false information, our matchmaking agency will not accept it, and the registration fee will not be refunded."
Liu Yunqing nodded and said, "I know."
…
noon.
In the underground garage of Xipai Yujiang, the eldest brother, his wife and his sister visited Jiang Feng's new super luxury RV.
"Oh my God, I didn't know cars could be this luxurious. It's really eye-opening!" Jiang Xue looked at the layout and decoration inside the car, her eyes filled with shock.
"I have seen many RVs in short videos, but those RVs feel like they are just slightly larger than luxury cars, and there is not much to be amazed at. But this RV really overturned my impression of RVs. It is so beautiful!" Jiang Fei also said with praise.
The eldest sister-in-law also felt that her eyes had been opened. She touched here and there, and said with emotion: "The life of these rich people is so different from our life!"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the thank-you gift from Princess Ling would be such a luxurious RV. I have to say that this car is really comfortable to live in. I slept all the way back from Hangzhou yesterday. The feeling is really different from the previous car rides."
Huang Lingwei talked about her riding experience, "When driving on the highway, the whole car is as stable as riding a train, and because the bedroom is spacious enough, it feels really comfortable to lie down on it."
Jiang Xue said regretfully, "It's a pity that none of our driver's licenses can drive this car. Otherwise, we would drive this RV back home today and let everyone in the village open their eyes."
Jiang Feng: “…”
After visiting the RV, the five people went to have lunch and then went home.
Tomorrow is the wedding day of my cousin Feng Qian from my aunt's family. Several people plan to go back to their hometown to stay for one night, and then rush to the county town early in the morning to attend cousin Feng Qian's wedding.
…
Saturday, July 15, 2023.
Feng Qian's cousin is getting married.
According to the customs and habits in Bailiang County, when a bride gets married, there will be people from her parents' home to see her off. These people are basically the bride's family members and relatives, and they all have a unified name - wedding senders.
The bride-sitter is generally the most honorable guest at a wedding banquet. The dishes are served to the bride-sitter's table first, and toasts are also made to the bride-sitter's table first. When the bride-sitter returns, the man has to give them a red envelope.
The amount of the red envelope depends on the groom's financial strength and his generosity. A groom with poor financial strength or a stingy personality may only give a red envelope of 20 yuan to the bride's guest.
The normal standard is a red envelope of two hundred yuan.
If you are financially capable and generous, it is normal to give five or eight hundred yuan.
Jiang Feng and others rushed back to attend the wedding of Feng Qian's cousin, naturally as guests of marriage.
Feng Qian's cousin's wedding was also very low-key, with only fifteen tables.
There is no way, because the father of the groom Jiefang is a "Hedou" level cadre!
According to the "Interim Regulations on Party Members and Leading Cadres in Guangxi Province Organizing Weddings, Funerals and Other Celebrations", when party member leading cadres organize weddings, the total number of banquets shall not exceed 100 people (10 tables with 10 people per table); if the wedding is jointly organized by both parties, the total number of banquets shall not exceed 150 people (15 tables with 10 people per table). Each county (city) may separately stipulate the scale of banquets based on the customs and habits of ethnic minorities in the region, but the total number of people shall not exceed 150% of the number specified in the preceding paragraph.
Xie's father is the head of a certain bureau and a serious "Hedou"-level cadre, so naturally he has to abide by this rule.
In addition to limiting the number of people invited to the banquet, the amount of gift money (accompanying gifts) is also limited. The gift money (converted into gifts) given by people other than close relatives must not exceed 200 yuan per person.
Jiang Feng and his two siblings are close relatives and are not subject to this restriction, so each of them gave a red envelope with the amount of 16,888 yuan.
As a result, when the Xie family returned the gifts, the eldest brother and sister received 1,688 yuan, while Jiang Feng received 18,000 yuan. The reason for this was that Jiang Feng had another identity - matchmaker.
This marriage was arranged by Jiang Feng.
After attending the wedding banquet, when preparing to leave, Jiang Feng patted Jiefang's shoulder and said earnestly: "Be good to my cousin."
Jiefang said solemnly: "Don't worry, cousin Jiang Feng, I will never let her suffer any injustice."
Feng Qian, who looked very cute in her dragon and phoenix gown, glanced at him with a smile and snorted, "If you dare to treat me badly, I will tell my cousin Jiang Feng. Are you afraid?"
Jiefang laughed and said, "Of course I'm afraid. You are holding the imperial sword now, how dare I treat you badly?"
With their marriage compatibility, the probability of problems occurring was almost zero, and Jiang Feng was just giving a casual reminder.
Seeing their loving appearance at this time, Jiang Feng waved his hand and said with relief: "Let's go, we'll meet again when we have time."
…
That night, Jiang Feng and others returned to the provincial capital.
After staying in the provincial capital for one night, he flew to Shenzhen with Huang Lingwei the next day.
In order to rush to Hangzhou to attend Princess Ling's wedding, the Rolls-Royce and Volvo XC90 given by the Wu family were left at the home of his future father-in-law, so Jiang Feng naturally had to drive the cars back.
The main thing is to drive back the Volvo XC90, which is a more practical car. As for the Rolls-Royce, if my father-in-law is interested, I can leave it to him.
As the saying goes, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar. When Jiang Feng came to the Huang family this time, he was as casual as returning to his own home. He chatted with his father-in-law about everything under the sun, and talked about the merits and demerits of those feudal emperors. His mother-in-law cooked a large table of delicious dishes herself.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Huang's father asked curiously, "Xiao Jiang, I heard from Weiwei that you can not only predict marriages for people, but also predict offspring?"
Jiang Feng said: "If you really want to calculate it, you can do it."
Huang's mother continued, "Xiao Jiang, ever since I knew you had such a powerful ability to predict marriages, I have always had a question in my mind, that is, have you ever predicted the marriage between Weiwei and you?"
Huang's father was also quite curious about this question.
Huang Lingwei also looked at her boyfriend with a smile. She had also thought about this question but had never asked him.
Jiang Feng was prepared for this question from his mother-in-law. He nodded and said, "To be honest, I have indeed calculated the fate of Weiwei and I."
Huang's mother's eyes lit up and she asked, "What was the result?"
“Perfect match!”
Jiang Feng smiled proudly and said, "Looking around the world, I'm afraid there's no one as compatible as Weiwei and I."
After hearing this, the three members of the Huang family couldn't help but smile in surprise.
Huang's mother asked, "What about offspring? Have you calculated it?"
Jiang Feng nodded and said, "I have calculated it, but the result is not convenient to announce yet. Let's talk about it after Weiwei and I get married!"
Father Huang said, "Xiao Jiang, I have a friend whose daughter married into a family that favors boys over girls. She gave birth to three daughters, and they didn't want to have any more children, but her husband's family insisted that she give birth to a son.
If my friend's daughter knew that the next baby would be a son, she would be willing to give birth to the baby. But the problem is that before pregnancy, no one knows whether it will be a son or a daughter. What if it is a daughter again?
So, without any way of confirming it, my friend's daughter really doesn't want to have any more children.
Because of the issue of having a son, her relationship with her husband's family has become very strained. Last time I heard from my friend, they are even planning to divorce.
Xiao Jiang, I wonder if you can help my friend's daughter calculate whether she is destined to give birth to a son?"
Before Jiang Feng could answer, Huang Lingwei frowned and said, "What era is this? How can there still be this idea of favoring boys over girls? According to her husband's family, if she can't give birth to a son, she should keep giving birth until she can't give birth anymore?"
"The idea of favoring sons over daughters has always existed in our country. Unless a woman's first child is a son, or the woman herself also favors sons over daughters, if she marries into such a family and cannot give birth to a son, she is doomed to suffer."
At this point, Huang's mother looked at her husband tenderly and said, "An open-minded man like your father is the ideal partner for us women."
