Our two families sat at my house for tea. While chatting, Jiang Dong took Sun Zhengdong's son to her room to play. Sun Zhengdong's son was a few years younger than Jiang Dong, and he was still in the kindergarten class.

Jiang Xi and Sun Zhengdong's lover talked about some women's topics, and also about Chen Jun and Tang Xin. She said that Chen Jun was pregnant and Tang Xin was so precious that the two were very happy. Occasionally there was a small quarrel, and the two coaxed each other, which was really a small quarrel!

Sun Zhengdong's lover also said to Jiang Xi with a happy look, "I really have to thank you very much. If you didn't help Tang Xin find a job, how could Tang Xin be so lucky to find a girl with such good conditions? We didn't dare to think about it before! The most valuable thing is that Chen Jun likes Tang Xin very much. It turns out that we were worried that Tang Xin would get angry if Tang Xin married a girl with good conditions. As a result, the two of them were as good as one person. Tang Xin's father-in-law and mother-in-law now like Tang Xin very much. Oh, I really didn't expect it!"

Jiang Xi just smiled and said, "This is all because Tang Xin is excellent and fragrant!"

Sun Zhengdong talked to me about work.

He said, "I really didn't expect that my job would be so difficult to find in Nanjing. It's almost half a year since I almost never met someone suitable for me."

Seeing his face calm, I asked, "Why didn't you ride a donkey and look for a horse, but came directly?"

I remembered that I almost couldn't find a job at the beginning, and Jiang Xi had to ask me to ride a donkey and find a horse, so I must not quit naked.

Sun Zhengdong smiled and said, "At the time, I thought, I was very tired after working for so many years, and it was good to have a rest. I didn't expect that it was so difficult to find a job in Nanjing. On the other hand, there was something urgent. My son had a serious allergic rhinitis, which was that he couldn't breathe when he was severe, so he could only breathe with his mouth. After breathing with his mouth for a long time, his throat would become inflamed, his nose and throat would become inflamed, and his ears would start to feel uncomfortable. His facial features were connected! The child was very uncomfortable, and he even took it. The medicine he had taken for two years but did not get better. After taking too much medicine, his body's immunity became worse and worse. Some people said that the air in Beijing was not good, and it would be better to go to the south, so he rushed to Nanjing."

"So? Then is it better to go to Nanjing?" I asked curiously, "The air in Nanjing is indeed much better than that in Beijing."

Sun Zhengdong said, "It's a little better, but it's still not good. Recently, I heard from a friend who went to New Zealand that the air in New Zealand is really very good. Their family used to be in Beijing and they are not as good as their lungs, and they have healed themselves when they arrive in New Zealand."

I said, "My wife and children always cough in Beijing, but it's much better when they arrive in Nanjing."

"Well! Nanjing's environment is indeed good, but it's still far worse than New Zealand," Sun Zhengdong said again. "I also heard that people in New Zealand don't work overtime, so I discussed it with my wife and planned to go there to see it. If it's really good for the child's condition and I can find a job there, I'll stay."

"Can you find a job directly? There are many restrictions on foreign personnel, right?" This is what I, an outsider, can think of.

Sun Zhengdong said, "Of course, we found an agency to apply for a study abroad and apply for a postgraduate degree, so I can get a student visa. My wife can get a working visa. With a work visa, the child can go to public schools there for free, and the wife can find a job to make money."

"Then is the tuition fee very expensive, too?" I think it shouldn't be cheap.

He said, "You can graduate from a postgraduate degree in one year, the tuition fee is 120,000 yuan a year, and the living expenses cost about 200,000 yuan a year. I prepare for 500,000 yuan. The most successful thing is that after graduation one year, the grades will be passed smoothly. Then the New Zealand country will give me a one-year work visa, so I can use this year to find a job. As long as I find a job and my salary reaches a certain standard, I can apply for a green card, so that I can live there for a long time."

"Oh!" I nodded, and it was a little confused. It felt like it was not that easy, "By the way, I have to take the IELTS exam? Have you ever thought about it?"

Sun Zhengdong smiled, "I worked hard on IELTS for three months, but I didn't get 6.5 points, and I just got 6 points. Ah! IELTS is really difficult and it's not easy to take the exam. I plan to work hard for another two months and take another exam. If it doesn't work, we plan to follow the agency's arrangements and go first and apply for the language courses of the school I applied for. After learning, as long as I can pass the internal assessment of the school, I can be admitted to the postgraduate degree. This is also a way."

I thought of another question, "You are almost forty years old, right? Will you be too old to study?

"This is not a problem. New Zealand is an immigrant country. The main source of the economy of the whole country is international students. People who go to New Zealand to study are basically for immigration. Therefore, there are many people around the age of forty who study abroad, and the cultural atmosphere of the whole country is also very strong. There are many locals who work until they are about forty. They feel that they are tired of working and want to change the environment and recharge, so they go to study. People with green cards are very, very cheap to study in New Zealand, mainly because of the cost of foreigners' tuition."

"Then after you get the green card, will you have to cancel your Chinese nationality?" This is a question I am more concerned about, because I personally think that Chinese nationality can be retained and must be retained.

He smiled again and said, "This issue is also one of the main reasons why we chose to go to New Zealand. New Zealand is the only country that does not have to give up Chinese nationality but can get a permanent visa. It is not like other countries that have to go to immigration prison. As long as you get a green card, you can live in New Zealand forever, but you don't have to get a New Zealand nationality, and you can also go back to China to live and work at any time. Isn't it good? It's very touching?"

"Haha!" I smiled. It sounded very good, but I still thought it should be quite difficult, not to mention that the family of three is in a foreign country, so there must be many inconvenient places.

He continued, "After getting a green card, it is exactly the same as the benefits the locals enjoy. New Zealand is a country that cuts the rich and raises the poor. People who get green cards and nationality can receive pensions after the age of 60. No matter whether they have worked or contributed to the country when they are young, they can receive money. For subsidies for poor families, everyone can receive relief funds. If they have children at home, they can receive milk funds. Of course, it is necessary to confirm that the family's income is low to one level, and the middle class with good income does not have it."

"It sounds like the benefits are really good!" I sighed.

At this time, Jiang Xi interrupted, "Will there be many slutty people who are capable but don't work, and they all rely on receiving relief funds to live?"

Sun Zhengdong's lover answered Jiang Xi's words, "That's right, this is also the disadvantage of a welfare country. People above the middle class have to pay very high taxes, about 40%. The local people, especially Maori people, are very poor. Some people never work well, and some are family members of five or six, and they all rely on receiving relief funds to live. If the relief funds are not enough, there will be many robberies and thefts, so there are many robberies in New Zealand now."

"Oh! That's it!" Jiang Xi looked thoughtful.

To be honest, we don’t know much about these things, and it’s quite fresh for us to hear their stories at this moment.

Sun Zhengdong's lover smiled and said, "But don't worry too much. There are still the top five countries in the world's safest countries. Other countries cannot compare with each other. There are small cases there, and the most common ones are robbery. Because that country does not have the crime of death, you can eat, drink, take drugs, watch TV, and a country where human rights are supreme. Therefore, there are few criminal cases of murder. Occasionally, it is said that they are revenge killings or emotional entanglements of acquaintances, and rarely kill money! Because there is no need for gangsters to kill people!"

"That's it! I feel that this kind of criminal law is good or not, and the criminal must be unscrupulous!" Jiang Xi said while thinking.

"Yes, yes, I heard that the thieves and robbers over there are very arrogant. Sometimes the police chase the thief, but the thief stops running and then are taken to the police station. As long as the thief sits there and crys, he says that he does not mean to steal, but is stolen because of financial difficulties. The police will spontaneously donate money to the thief, and then educate them and let him go. Another time, the thief was beaten by the police, and the police were fined hundreds of dollars to compensate the thief. The thief was let go. In general, the punishment in New Zealand is mainly to volunteer. After a few days of work, he will be released after being sentenced, or he will be handcuffed at his home to serve his sentence, so..."

"Hahahaha!" Jiang Xi was finally amused by the punishment, "Are there many people who have no food to eat and want to commit some crimes and then go to jail to be more comfortable!"

"There is definitely food to eat when you go to jail, but there is no freedom. Therefore, not everyone wants to go to jail. The thieves and robbers will still run desperately when they see the police."

"Haha, I think it's weird! In this way, the bourgeoisie doesn't care about this little money. The proletariat benefits the most, and the most mute person who can't say that he has troubles is the middle class." Jiang Xi said.

Sun Zhengdong continued, "Well, your analysis makes sense. What is the middle class? Like Jiangdong and I, it is considered the middle class. If we go there, it is the most miserable class. However, there are still many people who want to go there. After all, there are many benefits there. At the same time, people like us are not particularly old and are capable of working. Anyone with a little ambition will work well and will not want to receive relief funds. There is a shortage of people there. Many people in their sixties are still working, but they rarely work overtime. Their lives are mainly family-oriented and work-assisted. The company does not allow employees to work overtime more than 8 o'clock in the evening. This is stipulated by the law. Otherwise, if the company is reported, the company will be severely punished."

"Oh!" Jiang Xi's face gradually showed a hint of envy, "This is really great. Chinese employees work too many overtime, especially in the IT industry. Some large companies, who are not married, sleep in the company. Last time, when talking about the issue of fertility rate, someone said, "I'm so busy all day long that I don't even have a life, where does it come from? If I don't have a life, why do I mention having a baby?"

"Yes, this is why many large companies are no longer recruiting employees over the age of 40. They are not good at fighting skills and have to be distracted to take care of their families. They are not as capable as young people. Some even don't even have wives and don't find wives because they don't have time to coax their girlfriends, who would want to marry them!"

OK! Sun Zhengdong’s lover seems to have told some unspeakable and sad truth!

At this time, Sun Zhengdong suddenly smiled even more and said, "We are here to find you today. First, we are talking about the past with you, and second, we want to ask you if you have any ideas about going to New Zealand. If so, let's go together. We have a companion, which is very good for the education of children!"

I immediately smiled and said, "We don't plan to go abroad"!

At present, I think it's quite good in China! I'm very content with no shortage of food, no shortage of drinks, and no shortage of living.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xi said, "We are studying and researching, but we don't plan to go now. Maybe we will go in the future. Let's study and study first!"

I,"……".

I smiled and looked at Jiang Xi, "Are you serious?"

Jiang Xi said, "There is no harm in research!"

I laughed again, OK, if you like to study, I think we won’t immigrate anyway, but it’s not bad to have the opportunity to travel.

"By the way, have you been to New Zealand? Are you planning to go there directly?" I asked.

"We visited once last month. We visited it with a tourist visa and it felt very good. The place was really like a fairyland on earth. Of course, there will definitely be many difficulties to settle there. We have made 200% preparations."

"That's good!" I smiled and nodded.

Everyone has their own choice.

After their family had enough fun at my house and we had dinner together, they went home.

In the evening, when Jiang Xi and I were lying on the bed, I asked Jiang Xi, "You are just talking about studying going to New Zealand today, right?"

While sitting in front of the dressing table, Jiang Xi said, "No, am I just planning ahead? I thought, if you can't make a living in China one day and you really can't find a job in China, we may not be able to go! Besides, let Sun Zhengdong and his family go first. If we really feel that everything is good, we can go too? If they live there without difficulty, we can follow their path!"

"Wife, you're thinking too much. I won't be able to find a job in China, and I don't want to go abroad either!" I murmured in a low voice.

Jiang Xi smiled and hugged me and said, "I won't force you if I don't want to come out, but I will study it first, understand it, and it's no harm to make more preparations! If you have time, go learn a car. I heard that New Zealand has to drive. Public transportation is very underdeveloped, and the ground is as uneven as a hill. It is not suitable for riding electric bikes. It will rain at any time on sunny days and the weather is very unstable."

I was shocked by her words, "Wife, didn't you just start researching today? How could you know so much?"

Jiang Xi climbed into the bed and got into my arms and said, "I paid attention to it when Chen Lixin's lover and children went to New Zealand. Now Li Jinsheng and Zhang Jing have settled in New Zealand, so when I'm fine, I will naturally search for the situation in New Zealand!"

I was stunned for a moment, "Wife, have you planned it long ago?"

Jiang Xi lay on my lap, shook her head with a smile and said, "I have many plans, but which way we go in the end depends on which of our reality we face? If everything is fine, I definitely don't want to go abroad!"

"Oh!" I nodded, thinking that she made sense, but I didn't care much, because I think we should always be good in China and will not be forced to go abroad.

It is said that this matter has passed like this, but I found that Jiang Xi still had some changes. He made a hundred words to kill himself and started learning English silently from the People's Education Press Elementary School English third-grade course.

Me, "...". My wife works so hard!

Not only that, she also signed me to a driving school.

Actually, I want to say that I don’t want to learn driving because I don’t want to go abroad. I don’t need to drive at all in China. Jiang Xi and I work at home every day. I can get a taxi when I go out to work and I don’t need to drive at all.

But she strongly signed up for me, and I didn't say anything, but... by chance, since she signed up for me to drive, I was very busy at work and couldn't free up time to study, so... I never learned to drive, and the 1,200 yuan I used to sign up for a driving school was wasted.

The aunt Wang who cleans our house is a little older and is already fifty-six years old.

Jiang Xi would sometimes say to me, "This Aunt Wang is not very clean in housework. I see that she is a little troublesome when she does work."

I said, "What should I do? If it really doesn't work, just tell her!"

Jiang Xi said, "Forget it, I won't say it anymore. She is so good. I heard from her that when her daughter-in-law gives birth to a child, she will stop working. She will serve her daughter-in-law, and then wait for her daughter-in-law to get ready to cultivate, so that she can take care of the child! In the past two or three months, she has not cleaned up the place, so I will just come and find some repairs!"

"Oh! It's OK, too"!

I smiled, hugged her in my arms, and smelled the familiar smell on her body, and my heart was very warm and soft!

Sure enough, less than three months later, Aunt Wang proposed to resign, but Aunt Wang was also particularly considering our family. She introduced us to an hourly worker, who was a half-underground milkman living in our community and rented a half-underground milkman. She wanted to earn more extra money after work.

This person is a woman in her early forties. She said that her surname is Zhao. Her husband is a sanitation worker in the community. He works part-time to collect waste products. Jiang Xi called her Sister Zhao.

Sister Zhao is also a person who works very hard. In addition, she is young and in good health, the room she cleans up is very clean, and Jiang Xi is very satisfied.

Sister Zhao is also very talkative and gradually became familiar with her. Jiang Xi learned from her that she had a son who studied in a private junior high school in her hometown of Anhui. She said that the public schools in her hometown in rural areas were not good, and his son studied very well. She and her husband worked hard to make money to support her son in private schools. The son's annual tuition and living expenses were more than 50,000 yuan.

She and his husband work hard to make money, and they can earn about 100,000 yuan a year. After spending money, they can still have some left. She feels that life is very satisfied and happy!

Jiang Xi was also very happy for them!

Everyone has their own life, and we are not qualified to judge other people's lives. Therefore, as long as they feel happy, we should give affirmation and praise! Because sometimes happiness and happiness may not be determined by the amount of money, but are generated by achieving one's expectations in the process of hard work.

But one day, Sister Zhao suddenly came to our house with a look of sorrow. While working, she wiped her tears.
Chapter completed!
