This was the first time Chen Daqiang came back to visit his family after serving in the army for more than five years. Before he had time to chat about family matters, his mother was eager to ask a matchmaker to introduce him to a girl.
While Chen Daqiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, he also understood his mother's behavior very well.
After all, it is already difficult for soldiers to find a partner. As a border guard, Chen Daqiang has much better benefits than ordinary soldiers in terms of salary, housing, accompanying the troops, vacations, medical care and other benefits, but in fact, it is more difficult for border guards to find a partner than ordinary soldiers.
If we analyze it in detail, there are probably several reasons:
1. The conditions are too harsh.
The environment where border guards are stationed is basically in remote areas, often surrounded by mountains. The conditions are much more difficult than those of ordinary soldiers.
2. Husband and wife are together less often than they are apart.
If the spouses of border defense soldiers do not meet the conditions for accompanying the soldiers, they can only see each other when they come to the team temporarily or on vacation every year. Such days are really too difficult for these wives.
3. Women should shoulder heavy responsibilities alone.
Marrying a border guard means taking care of the elderly on both sides of the family, raising children, and other responsibilities on your own, which is something that most women cannot bear.
It is not an exaggeration to say that if a woman does not have a special affection for soldiers and understands the border guards' great mission of protecting the country, no woman would be willing to live this kind of life.
Therefore, every military wife is worthy of admiration.
4. It is easy to get injured.
Especially for border guards stationed on plateaus thousands of meters high, they are prone to injuries and illnesses that affect their lives due to long-term lack of oxygen and other reasons.
5. It is very dangerous.
Border guards are mostly stationed along national borders, which are complex and dangerous places with conflicts between countries. There are also borders like Yunnan and Guangxi provinces that are adjacent to the Golden Triangle region, so the probability of encountering drug dealers is also high.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that it is very difficult for border guards to find a partner.
So Chen Daqiang understands his mother's thoughts very well.
After Chen's mother introduced Master Jiang's matchmaking experience, she said forcefully, "Listen to me, take advantage of this vacation to get married first, otherwise you will have to go back to the army and it will take who knows how many years to come back."
Chen Daqiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Mom, no, there is a reason why I didn't come back in the past few years. I will try to take a vacation every year in the future."
Mother Chen said, "Even if you take a vacation every year in the future, you have to listen to me and get married first this time. It's better to do it sooner rather than later."
Chen Daqiang said: "Mom, I can listen to you and go on a blind date first. If it's suitable, I don't mind getting married first, but this kind of thing can't be forced. It still depends on fate."
Chen's mother smiled and said, "As long as you are willing to go on a blind date, I will call your father first and ask him to come back to discuss this matter."
Chen Daqiang smiled helplessly, but he was also looking forward to the upcoming blind date. After all, he was an energetic young man in his twenties, and it was impossible for him to not think about women.
I just don’t know if the matchmaker is really that magical and whether he can help him find a satisfactory partner in such a short time?
…
With the help of Jiang Feng, the "master of calculation", the arson case of Minghu Hotel was solved within 24 hours. The speed was so fast that countless people cheered.
Although the fire was put out in time, many parts of Minghu Hotel were still burned.
Minghu Hotel, a four-star hotel, has a history of nearly 20 years. In fact, the hotel's decoration style is a bit outdated compared to those emerging hotels, but its location is excellent, so its business has been good over the years.
Ever since Su Yao took over the hotel, she has wanted to spend money on redecoration more than once, but she has never made up her mind. After all, the cost of redecoration is not a small amount, and she cannot do business during the redecoration period, which means she will lose a lot of money.
Su Yao's family is not well-off and she doesn't have much money to invest, so she has not made up her mind to redecorate her house.
Now, this sudden fire finally made a decision for Su Yao.
Now she couldn't redecorate even if she didn't want to!
Of course, if Su Yao wants to save money, she can only renovate the areas that were burned by the fire, and other areas that were not affected by the fire can remain as they were, which can save a lot of renovation money.
However, Su Yao is not so short-sighted. She plans to take this opportunity to spend money to renovate the entire hotel.
This may cost a bit, but at least it can keep up with the development of the times, so the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
After figuring it out, Su Yao took out her cell phone and called the wealthy woman Qi Meihua, who was a very good friend of hers and the owner of Meihua Decoration Company.
When the call was connected, Qi Meihua asked directly: "Boss Su, how is your hotel's business going? Have you caught the culprit behind it?"
After the news of the hotel fire spread, Su Yao received greeting calls from several wealthy CEOs, Qi Meihua was one of them.
Su Yao said: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qi. The police have caught the culprit behind the scenes. He can't escape the sentence and compensation. I'm calling you now to discuss the renovation of the hotel with you."
Qi Meihua said: "Okay, then come to my company and let's meet and talk!"
Su Yao said: "Okay, see you later!"
"See you later!"
…
The provincial capital of Guizhou Province.
After Li Shuixiu came back from Guangxi Province, she focused all her attention on her Japanese restaurant.
If you want to open a Japanese food restaurant that really makes money, you can't just blindly spend money to open the store. First, you need to conduct market research to understand the local competition, potential customer groups and market demand.
Then formulate a business plan based on the market research results, including positioning, product strategy, target market, pricing strategy, etc.
At the same time, choosing a suitable store is crucial for a Japanese food restaurant.
Although this is Li Shuixiu's first time to open a store and do business, she also knows how to determine the location of the store based on factors such as human traffic, visibility, surrounding competition, and rental costs.
After choosing a store, you still need to apply for food hygiene permits, business licenses, trademark registrations and other certificates.
The next step is to design a Japanese food menu that appeals to customers, build a reliable supply chain, and establish cooperative relationships with suppliers to ensure a stable supply of ingredients and controllable quality.
Then, carry out interior decoration according to the style and positioning of the Japanese food store, and purchase necessary equipment and kitchen utensils, such as stoves, cooking utensils, knives, refrigerators, etc.
Another thing is to recruit the right staff, including chefs, waiters and other necessary positions. Provide necessary training for employees to ensure that they understand the menu, hygiene standards and service procedures.
If necessary, you should also develop a marketing strategy and use various channels to promote the Japanese food restaurant, such as social media, advertising, word-of-mouth marketing, etc.
In short, if you want to open a Japanese restaurant from scratch, there are really a lot of things to do. Anyway, after Li Shuixiu came back from Guangxi Province, she has been busy all the time.
However, despite being busy, Li Shuixiu feels very fulfilled. Compared with being a housewife in Japan, she seems more satisfied with her current life.
…
It has to be said that parents are very efficient when it comes to finding partners for their children.
On the second day after Chen Daqiang returned home, his parents took him to the Xingfu Marriage Agency in the provincial capital, where he met the so-called miraculous Master Jiang.
After the two sides greeted each other, Chen's mother smiled and said, "Master Jiang, our hometown is Qingshan Town. When I was young, our Qingshan Town and your Qinghe Town were still one family!"
Jiang Feng naturally knew this history.
During the Republic of China, Qinghe Town belonged to the neighboring Tanjiang District. After liberation, it belonged to the 13th District. In August 1958, it was divided into Qingshan Commune, and then in June 1962 it was changed to Tanjiang District. In September 1984, it was changed to Qingshan Township. It was not until January 1987 that it was divided into Qinghe Township. In August 1994, it was changed to Qinghe Town and has remained so ever since.
So what Chen's mother said about Qingshan Town and Qinghe Town being one family when she was a child was not wrong.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Qinghe Town still does not have its own high school.
When you are out and about, being a fellow countryman is undoubtedly one of the fastest ways to build closer relationships. The two sides chatted for nearly ten minutes before they got to the point.
Mother Chen said, "Master Jiang, my son chose to join the army after graduating from high school, but he was gone for more than five years and only came back yesterday to visit his family on leave.
Because he is a border guard, stationed in the remote mountains for a long time, he has no chance to find a partner, so I want to take advantage of his vacation to ask Master Jiang to help him find a partner so that he won't be single forever."
Jiang Feng stood in awe, looked at Chen Daqiang and said: "So Brother Chen is a border guard. You strictly guard the border in a harsh environment, defend the frontier, fight against all acts of aggression and provocation, and ensure the integrity of the country's territory. You are really great.
I can't help you with anything else, but please rest assured, Brother Chen, I will do my best to help you find an excellent partner so that you can defend your country without any worries. "
Hearing Jiang Feng's praise, Chen's father and mother both smiled happily. Their son was not good at studying and his grades were not good since he was a child, which made them embarrassed in front of relatives and friends.
But all bad things happen in one place, and ever since their son became a soldier, they as parents have begun to feel proud. After all, when one person joins the army it is an honor for the whole family!
Especially since his son has become a border guard who protects the border, Chen's father and mother can't help but feel proud of him while worrying about him.
Now, no matter what the occasion, whenever they mention their son, they are always greeted with praise.
Chen Daqiang was very happy when he heard Jiang Feng say this: "Thank you for the compliment. It is the duty of us border guards to protect the border."
Jiang Feng picked up the paper and pen on the table and handed them to Chen Daqiang, saying, "Brother Chen, I know you soldiers don't have much vacation time, and I won't waste your precious time. Write down your name and date of birth, and I will help you calculate it right away to see where your marriage fate lies."
Chen's father and mother have been following Master Jiang for more than a year and are naturally aware of his mysterious methods of predicting relationships. When they heard that he wanted to help them immediately, their eyes lit up and they hurriedly urged their son to write down his name and date of birth.
Chen Daqiang was also aware of Master Jiang's ability, so he quickly wrote down his name and date of birth, then handed the paper and pen back.
Jiang Feng took the paper and pen, then closed his eyes and started counting with his fingers.
Of course, this was just a superficial job. Jiang Feng's mind moved secretly, and an invisible wave descended, instantly covering more than 3 billion people. In the virtual picture, female avatars flashed wildly, and finally locked onto one of them:
【Name】Meilixiu

[Ultimate Marriage Matching Value] 95 (Marriage Relationship 96 + Matching 94 + Family Relationship 95)

【Children's Prediction】……
After taking a quick look at the matching information, Jiang Feng opened his eyes.
The three members of the Chen family had been focusing their attention on Master Jiang. When they saw him open his eyes, they knew that his calculations had paid off, and they all showed expectant expressions.
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Brother Chen, after my calculations just now, I have found you an excellent partner who shares the same ideals as you!"
Chen Daqiang also became interested at this time and asked quickly: "Master Jiang, where is she from? How old is she? What job does she do?"
Jiang Feng briefly introduced her, "She is also from our Guangxi Province. Her hometown is Beihai. She is the same age as you. She is 1.66 meters tall and has a good figure and appearance. She currently runs a large-scale lunch care center next to Xixiangtang Primary School with her parents. The income is quite good."
In such a short period of time, so much information was deduced, which really amazed the three members of the Chen family.
Chen Daqiang said with some lack of confidence: "Master Jiang, you know, being a military wife is not an easy thing. The girl is so good, are you really willing to endure this?"
These words made Chen's father and mother sigh. Ever since their son went to the army, his cell phone has been turned off for a long time. It is normal for him to lose contact for a month or two.
This is not bad for my parents, but it is really a bit painful for my wife.
