1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 481 Marriage Events
Although Yu Xiaobao has been working with Schneider for a long time, what he has learned is more technical, but the interpersonal relationship at work is relatively weak.This is not because he is dull, but because he is in a special position. After all, Schneider was the head of the Guangzhou Office at the time and one of the nine elders of the executive committee. Everything he said was decided with one word, and no one would question him. , and Yu Xiaobao who followed him also got some shade, and ordinary naturalized people also respected him.Now that I have been transferred from the Guangdong Office to take charge of Hong Kong Island alone, some problems in work experience will gradually be exposed.

The arrival of Yu Dashan undoubtedly made up for Yu Xiaobao's shortcomings in this area. He was able to stand out from the dozens of people who had defected to Haihan in the small fishing village and grow into the first batch of senior naturalized cadres. up.Although Yu Dashan has no education and only knows three to four hundred common characters after two years of literacy education, there is no doubt that he does have some talents in terms of working ability, and not every naturalized person can do it. He soon became competent for management work, and Yu Dashan adapted to the environment well from the very beginning, and made achievements that satisfied his superiors.

For the future prospects, Yu Dashan sees very clearly that no one can easily shake Haihan's foundation in Sanya, not even the Ming Empire, and Haihan's continuous external expansion will sooner or later form a new regime.Although Yu Dashan doesn't know whether Haihan will have an emperor in the future, but no matter whether there is an emperor or not, Haihan's development prospects are obviously much better than that of the weak and weak Ming.And the person who realizes the great goal of honoring the ancestors for the Yu family probably has to fall on his father and son. Specifically, it is Yu Xiaobao who has just grown up and is deeply loved by Haihan's senior management.

However, compared to mentioning Yu Xiaobao at work, Yu Dashan had more important things in his heart and planned to take this opportunity to talk to Yu Xiaobao.

"Little Treasure, before you know it, you've turned eighteen, and the days go by so fast!" Yu Dashan pretended to sigh and began to introduce the topic: "You've been living in Guangzhou by yourself for the past two years, and it's hard for you to live in Guangzhou. It’s not easy outside without someone to take care of you, right?”

"It's good to get used to it. The chief said that when people are young, they should exercise outside more, and living independently can make their minds mature..." Yu Xiaobao paused, and then changed the subject: "It's you, daddy, a Living in Sanya, it shouldn’t be a good time to have an empty house, right?”

When Yu Dashan heard this, he felt that the taste was not right, he frowned and asked, "What do you want to say, kid?"

Yu Xiaobao put down the peanut in his hand, and said seriously: "In the early years, life was hard, father, you raised the child by saving money and food, and now my mother has passed away for more than ten years, and the family situation is also better, father, do you think about it?" Looking for another partner?"

"You are quite lenient, boy!" Yu Dashan finally realized that his son was worrying about his life for Lao Tzu.

Yu Xiaobao said: "Father, it's not that you are troublesome, you are in Guangzhou all year round, and there is no one around you who can take care of you..."

"Stop, stop!" Yu Dashan shook his head repeatedly and interrupted Yu Xiaobao: "Listen to me first!"

Seeing that Yu Xiaobao kept his voice obediently, Yu Dashan said solemnly: "You are already eighteen years old. I think when my father was your age, he was already engaged to your mother! It's time to think about this important marriage. ! Let me ask you, what are your plans now?"

Yu Xiaobao said in amazement: "My child has no plans right now..."

"No plan? Well, then listen carefully!" Yu Dashan tapped his fingers on the table and said word by word: "Now our family can be regarded as a respectable cadre in Sanya. Marriage is a matter of yours. I don’t think about it myself, but there are people outside who will help you think about it. For the first half of this year, there have been people who came to your door to talk about marriage directly, and people who asked people to beat around the bush to inquire about the news. Dad, I thought that you are almost old. It's time to think about this issue, and I plan to help you find a suitable marriage and settle it, what do you think?"

"This..." Yu Xiaobao didn't expect that in the past two years since he came out, he would become a popular steamed bun in Sanya.He rubbed his head and asked a little embarrassedly: "Dad, are you kidding? Someone came to our house to propose a marriage?"

"I'm not joking, it's true!" Yu Dashan nodded seriously, "Although our Yu family is not a wealthy family, but now you and I are both working for the chief, so we have to pay attention to the right family. Therefore, Those families who have just arrived in Sanya and haven’t even obtained their naturalization status, and those whose Li and Miao families have not moved out of the mountainous area, I have rejected all of them.”

Yu Xiaobao has no objection to this. Ever since Haihan's naturalization began to impose restrictions on naturalization, some people have come up with all kinds of weird ideas to obtain naturalization.In addition to joining the army, there is another very simple and easy way to marry a naturalized citizen or even a Haihan.

According to the existing civil affairs management system, after the marriage is completed, the direct blood relatives of the non-naturalized party can have the right to decide whether to join the naturalized nationality.And this is undoubtedly a very feasible shortcut for those new immigrants who have no one in their family who can join the militia and are eager to obtain naturalization.A considerable number of new immigrants obtained naturalization in a short period of time through similar methods, and enjoyed various benefits and treatments exclusive to Haihan naturalized citizens earlier than their competitors.

In a situation like Yu's family, there is no burden for one big and one small, both father and son are highly valued cadres, and there is no woman in the family. For some people, the conditions are so good that they are impeccable, and it is strange if they don't take the initiative to find them .Moreover, the door-to-door marriage proposals were not limited to Yu Xiaobao, but more of them were aimed at Yu Dashan.The reason is also very simple, Yu Dashan is not yet 40 years old, he can be regarded as the prime of life, the range he can accept as a widower is much wider than that of a young man like Yu Xiaobao.In fact, the people who match Yu Dashan through various means and relationships far exceed those who match Yu Xiaobao.

And it was precisely because Yu Dashan encountered such a situation of sending marriage to his door that he wanted to make a marriage arrangement for Yu Xiaobao earlier.He knew that although Yu Xiaobao and the heads of Haihan are currently being reused, but after all, there are only two people in the family. No matter how well they get along, they are still weak. If marriage can be used to replace Only when the family finds an ally of interest can it consolidate and strengthen the existing status advantages, and in the future, the family will have the hope of becoming a big family.

Yu Xiaobao didn't know that the situation in Sanya had developed to such an extent. For him, starting a family didn't seem to be an urgent task that needed to be completed as soon as possible. After all, he had been in contact with the most so far. Several traversers are all single.Subtly, Yu Xiaobao paid far less attention to this matter than his father.

Yu Xiaobao didn't have much mental preparation for this matter. After listening to Yu Dashan's description, he remained silent for a while before tentatively asking: "Then you have rejected a lot, so there should not be many left?"

"There are many!" Seeing that his son did not seem to be disgusted, Yu Dashan relaxed his mood at the moment, and told him one by one: "I will only talk about the few with better conditions. The first one is Zhang Tiangui's niece. , the old Zhang’s family and ours can be regarded as the right family, but his niece has just passed from Guangdong. I don’t know the specific situation. The second daughter of the tailor is three years younger than you. I have seen the little girl before. She is fair and clean. The third one is Zhan Zheying, the daughter of the sea merchant Zhan Gui. The Ministry of Security has cooperated, so it is considered as one of our own, but the daughter is a little younger, she is only ten years old, and it will take a few years to get married. The fourth..."

"Wait, wait! Dad, don't talk about it..." Yu Xiaobao shook his head and waved his hands: "I don't think this is right! Why does it feel like buying vegetables at the vegetable market, and you still have to choose?"

"This is your lifelong event and the starting point for our Yu family's prosperity in the future. Can you be careless?" Yu Dashan reprimanded: "If this person is chosen well, it will also help you get promoted and make a fortune in the future. , if you don’t choose well, it might hold you back!”

"Father, it's been a long time since I saw you, but my son didn't realize that you've become an official fan!" Yu Xiaobao half-jokingly teased.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yu Dashan raised his hand and put it down angrily after seeing his son habitually hugging his head: "Your boy is now a respectable cadre, and a father can no longer just raise his hand and beat him like before. I have to save some face for you."

"Hit if you want, the baby is solid, it's fine!" Yu Xiaobao replied with a smile.

"Let's get down to business! There are still many families with good conditions. I also asked the chiefs for their opinions. They said that it is best for you to decide, and you can't..." Yu Dashan couldn't remember that word. speechless.

"You can't arrange a marriage!" Yu Xiaobao reminded in time.

"Yes, yes, this is it!" Yu Dashan continued: "The chiefs said that marriage proposals are still allowed in the future, but it is best to consult the opinions of the children, so as not to be unhappy after marriage. I am thinking about you kid Being close to the chiefs, maybe they have the same thoughts as the chiefs. If you settle the matter for you in Sanya, I think you will definitely make a fuss. So take this opportunity to come to work and ask you first. What do you plan to do."

Yu Xiaobao responded: "My plan? My plan is that I have no plan. Father, my child has not considered getting married now, what plans can I have?"

"You can always count what kind of girl you like? Tall and short, fat and thin, black and white, you can tell me about it, and I can ask the matchmaker." Yu Dashan continued patiently asked.

"This... I..." Yu Xiaobao encountered such a situation for the first time, even though he was usually smart, he couldn't answer his father's questioning.

"If you have no objection, then I'll help you make up your mind later!" Yu Dashan picked up the bowl and drank the wine: "It's getting late, go to bed and go to work at the pier tomorrow. No time to sleep in!"

Although Yu Xiaobao felt that this matter was a bit inappropriate, but he habitually did not want to question his father's decision, so he had no choice but to refrain from responding too much for the time being.

The personal situation of the Yu family and his son is only a negligible off-site factor for the port construction project. As soon as the sky dawned, there were militia buglers standing on the sentry tower and blowing the wake-up call, and then civil affairs cadres from various residential areas, At the beginning, the gong was knocked on the mountain, so that those people who hadn't woken up quickly got up.

The people who woke up followed the regulations, first went to the public pool to finish washing quickly, and then took their own bowls and chopsticks to the cafeteria door to wait in line for breakfast.

After blowing the wake-up call for a stick of incense, four long queues formed at the entrance of the cafeteria, which was rebuilt from a few brick houses in the local area.Nearly a thousand laborers currently living here, as well as the Haihan cadres, naturalized civilian staff and a company of militia soldiers who supervise their work, all receive food here.Of course, different classes have different types of food that they can receive.

For example, ordinary workers only have a bowl of vegetable porridge and a steamed bread with rough noodles, while third-level workers, that is, workers at the foreman level, can have an extra serving of dried salted fish.Senior cadres and militia soldiers like Yu's father and son enjoy better treatment. There is no limit on the amount of food, and they can eat as much as they can.

As for the food for the time traveler, it is prepared separately by the cafeteria. As long as the logistics department can obtain high-protein foods such as eggs and milk, it will definitely appear on the table of the time traveler.As for other foods such as preserved egg and lean meat porridge and toast, they are all favorite choices for time travelers.Of course, in order to avoid the dissatisfaction of some people caused by the manifestation of this class difference, the place where the traversers eat will not just find a place to squat outside like ordinary people, but there is a special chief canteen for them. Use—in fact, it’s just a big military tent.

However, when there are very few traversers like in the local area, the tents are often relatively empty, so senior cadres like Yu's father and son are fortunate to be allowed to enter the place dedicated to the chiefs to have dinner together-this is very important for them. For the Haihan naturalized people, it is definitely a benefit that can be remembered for a long time.

"You work hard. After the project here is completed, the executive committee will definitely reward you according to your merits. At that time, cadres like you father and son will definitely benefit." Liu Shanxia smiled at the respectful Yu family father and son Said.
