Jiang Feng took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Chen, you don't have to worry about this problem. This girl has a special admiration for your group of soldiers because of an experience in her youth. It is her dream to marry a soldier she likes, so the difficulties of being a military wife can't scare her."

Chen Daqiang asked curiously: "What experience made her admire our soldiers?"

Jiang Feng said: "When she was eleven years old, she went shopping with her mother one day. As a result, when her mother was on the phone, her phone was suddenly snatched away.

Just as the robber was fleeing, a soldier in military uniform stepped forward and knocked the robber to the ground with three punches and two kicks, allowing her mother to successfully retrieve the phone.

From that moment on, she had a special admiration for you military personnel. If her parents hadn't been reluctant to let her suffer, she might have become a female soldier."

Chen Daqiang felt relieved after hearing this. As a soldier himself, he naturally understood that most military wives are proud of their husbands' military career. Generally speaking, women who do not understand the military profession will not choose to marry a soldier. After all, being a military wife is really too hard.

Chen's father and mother's eyes lit up when they heard this. Their son was a soldier, so naturally they wanted to find a daughter-in-law who would be proud of his military career. And the girl that Master Jiang had predicted obviously met this requirement.

"Master Jiang, this girl sounds good. I wonder when we can arrange for them to meet?" Mother Chen asked impatiently.

"Without further delay, I will go meet this girl and her parents now. If all goes well, I can arrange a meeting between your two families in the afternoon or evening."

Jiang Feng's strong ability to act impressed the three members of the Chen family.

Father Chen nodded and said, "Okay, Master Jiang, you go ahead and do your work. We will wait for your good news."

…

There is a reason behind the birth of any industry.

After entering the new century, with the progress of society and the accelerated pace of life, there are more and more dual-income families who have no time to take care of their children at noon and in the evening.

Thus, lunch care, evening care and full-time care came into being.

After more than 20 years of development, lunch day care, evening day care, and full-time day care have already sprung up everywhere. There are at least a few, and at most a dozen or twenty lunch day care, evening day care, and full-time day care facilities near primary schools in cities large and small across the country. The competition is fierce.

Mei Lixiu's parents have been running after-school care for more than ten years.

Speaking of which, the reason why Mei's father and mother are engaged in this industry has a lot to do with Mei Lixiu.

In the past, Mei's father and mother both had their own jobs. When Mei Lixiu went to kindergarten, it did not affect her parents' work because they only dropped her off early and picked her up late.

However, after Mei Lixiu started elementary school, she had to be picked up and taken home for lunch after school, which caused a lot of trouble for Mei's father and mother.

Originally, they could just have a bowl of noodles or order some takeout for lunch, but after the children started elementary school, they had to prepare lunch in advance, then go to school to pick them up after school for lunch, and then send the children to school again at around 2:00 p.m.

If you don't have a job, it doesn't matter. You'll always have time to do whatever you want.

But at that time, Mei's father and mother both had jobs and had no time to do so.

After discussion, Mei's father and mother sent Mei Lixiu to an after-school care center near the school.

However, the after-school care center was not very good. The daughter could not eat or sleep well there. Mei's parents only had this one daughter, so they could not bear to let her suffer.

So, Mei's father and mother finally discussed and decided that Mei's mother should quit her job and take care of their daughter exclusively.

Mei's mother was also a smart person. She thought that it didn't matter whether she took care of one child or several children, so she tried to take care of a few children during lunch break, and she chose her daughter's classmates.

Because Mei's mother took good care of her daughter and gave her daughter's classmates whatever she ate for meals, she naturally gained a good reputation.

Then, in the second semester, the parents of her daughter's classmates who needed after-school care all hoped that Mei's mother would help take care of their children as well.

That’s how it was. Mei’s mother’s after-school care business grew bigger and bigger, and became more and more professional, until it was finally out of control, and Mei’s father resigned early and came back to help.

After graduating from university, Mei Lixiu did not go out to look for a job, but came back to run this well-known after-school care center with her parents.

The biggest cost expenditure for lunch care is rent and food.

It has to be said that Mei's mother was indeed far-sighted. After she made money from running a daycare center, she made down payments on two houses in a newly built residential area next to the elementary school. When renovating the house, she connected the two four-bedroom, one-living-room houses to form a large house with eight bedrooms and one living room, covering an area of ​​more than 260 square meters.

Today, the Mei family of three runs a daycare center in this big house, and they have taken in more than a hundred children in total. Although it is a bit crowded here, the environment is much better than that of daycare centers in other private houses.

After saving on rent, the biggest expense left is food. In fact, more than a hundred children don’t spend much on a meal. As long as the dishes are arranged reasonably, three hundred yuan a day for food can be said to be more than enough.

Adding some miscellaneous expenses, the total monthly expenditure of the Mei family's lunch care now basically remains within 10,000 yuan.

The standard fee for their after-school care is 680 yuan per month. With more than one hundred children, the total monthly income is just over 70,000 yuan. After deducting expenses, the net profit is more than 60,000 yuan.

In a second-tier city like Nanning, they are definitely a high-income family.

…

On this day, Mei Lixiu and her mother helped her father. It took a lot of effort to cook for more than a hundred children.

After more than ten years of training, Mei's father has already become a qualified chef. The gas stoves he uses at home are the same ones used in restaurants with very high firepower, so that he can cook quickly.

If I used an ordinary household gas stove, I would not be able to handle the job.

When she was almost done, Mei Lixiu looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, so she washed her hands, said hello to her parents, and went out to pick up her child with a lunch care sign.

Because it was close to the school, Mei Lixiu arrived at the school gate in just a few minutes.

Soon, school was over, and the children wearing the same hats with their names and numbers of lunch care centers gathered around Mei Lixiu one by one.

After counting the number of people, Mei Lixiu took them home holding a sign.

After returning home, he washed his hands and ate. The three members of the Mei family also ate together.

After dinner, we rested for twenty minutes and then let the children go to bed.

Wait until two o'clock in the afternoon, wake up the children, and send them to school.

Watching the children enter the school one by one, Mei Lixiu was about to go home to help with cleaning when a handsome young man who looked familiar suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Hello, beautiful lady. Can I have a few minutes of your time?"

"Are you Master Jiang?" Mei Lixiu said in surprise.

In today's era of traffic, Guangxi Province has produced internet celebrities like Brother Sheng who has tens of millions of fans. Nine out of ten young people in the province who often watch short videos will know him.

Master Jiang is a matchmaker with over 100 million fans. His popularity in Guangxi Province is far beyond that of Brother Sheng. As a young woman of marriageable age, Mei Lixiu naturally recognized him quickly.

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "It's me. Since you know me, there's no need to introduce myself. If it's convenient, let's find a place to sit down and chat?"

Although Mei Lixiu is not a fan of celebrities, she was still a little excited to see a celebrity like Master Jiang. She nodded and said, "Master Jiang, there is a milk tea shop next door. How about we go there and sit down?"

Jiang Feng naturally had no objection, so the two of them walked to the milk tea shop together, each ordered a cup of milk tea, and sat in the corner to chat.

Jiang Feng didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Beauty, you know my profession. I came here to chat with you because I want to introduce you to someone. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Master Jiang, just call me by my name!"

Mei Lixiu blushed as she said, "Originally I was planning to look for a partner in a few years, but since Master Jiang has come to me personally, I am still very interested in the person you introduced."

Jiang Feng was not surprised by this. As his reputation as a matchmaker grew, he no longer had to introduce himself to clients as he did before when he was helping them make connections. He even had to show off his skills to clients to gain their trust when necessary.

"Mei Lixiu, let me introduce you to the other party's information."

Mei Lixiu hummed, then pricked up her ears and listened to Jiang Feng's introduction: "He and I are from the same hometown, the same age as you, and 1.76 meters tall. As for his appearance, I won't say much, you will know when you see him.

He joined the army after graduating from high school, and it has been more than five years now. He is currently a border guard protecting the border. "

Mei Lixiu was calm after hearing the first half of the information, but when she heard the second half of the information from Master Jiang, she suddenly perked up and said with a rosy face, "Master Jiang, your matchmaking ability is really well-deserved. What I admire most in my life is soldiers. If my parents hadn't stopped me, I would probably be a female soldier defending my country now."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "I calculated your marriage destiny, and I know that you two will definitely live a happy life together.

However, this definition of happiness is measured from the perspective of a lifetime. In this decades-long marriage life, it is definitely not all smooth sailing, but requires going through a lot of hardships.

You have a relatively good understanding of the military community, and you should be aware of how difficult it is to be a military wife.

Therefore, before arranging a meeting between the two of you, I must solemnly remind you that being a military wife is not easy, and you must be mentally prepared to shoulder heavy responsibilities alone."

Mei Lixiu said very seriously: "Master Jiang, you can rest assured about this. I know very well that it is not easy to be a military wife, but my determination to become a military wife will never waver, and I am also mentally prepared to shoulder the heavy burden alone."

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Well, you just need to be mentally prepared, because he only has one month's vacation to visit his family, and it's not easy for a soldier to take a vacation, so his parents want to take advantage of this one-month vacation to arrange his marriage."

Mei Lixiu exclaimed, a little embarrassed, "Master Jiang, isn't it too rushed to register for marriage in less than a month? Moreover, as far as I know, military personnel must file a report in advance before getting married. It shouldn't be possible to do it in such a short time, right?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "It's not realistic to go through the marriage registration procedures in such a short time. After all, you haven't even met each other yet. Even if you two fall in love at first sight, it will take some time to cultivate your feelings.

However, if you are satisfied after meeting, you can get on the bus first and buy the ticket later!"

Mei Lixiu has never had a boyfriend and is still quite thin-skinned. When she heard the double entendre of “get on the bus first and buy the ticket later”, she couldn’t help but blushing.

After drinking some milk tea to calm down, Mei Lixiucai said, "Master Jiang, we can discuss marriage later. Let's arrange a meeting first."

Jiang Feng said, "Okay, he and his parents are currently in the provincial capital. Go back and tell your parents about this first, and then I'll arrange for your two families to have dinner tonight so they can get to know each other. What do you think?"

Mei Lixiu said: "Okay, then Master Jiang, please tell me more about the man's situation. I will go back and discuss this with my parents in a while."

Jiang Feng nodded, told her the key points of Chen Daqiang's information, then exchanged contact information with her before they left.

When Mei Lixiu returned home with the after-school care sign, she saw that her mother had almost finished washing the dishes and her father was almost done mopping the floor.

Mei Lixiu put away the sign for the after-school care and said, "Dad, Mom, guess who I ran into when I was sending the kids to school just now?"

Mei's mother washed the last bowl and put it in the special basket for dishes and chopsticks, then asked, "Did you run into your former class teacher?"

Mei Lixiu shook her head and said, "No, it's someone you can never guess."

Father Mei put the mop in the bathroom, walked out and asked, "Who can guess who you bumped into?"

Mei Lixiu sat on the sofa, drank the milk tea she hadn't finished yet, and said, "I just ran into Master Jiang at the school gate!"

Mei's father and mother were familiar with this name. Mei's mother immediately asked, "Are you talking about Master Jiang from the Happy Marriage Agency?"

Mei Lixiu nodded and said, "Yes, it's this Master Jiang. He wants to introduce me to someone."

After these words were spoken, Mei's father and mother felt completely different.

Mei's father felt a pang in his heart, as if his cabbages were about to be eaten by pigs.

On the contrary, Mei's mother's eyes lit up instantly.

In fact, before, Mei's mother had told her daughter more than once that she wanted to go to the Happy Matchmaking Agency to ask Master Jiang to help her find a partner, but her daughter refused because she didn't want to get married so early.

Now Master Jiang has taken the initiative to come and introduce a partner to her daughter, and judging from her daughter's expression, it seems that she also wants to find a partner, so Mei's mother is naturally happy.
