While our two families were sitting at my house drinking tea and chatting, Jiang Dongxi took Sun Zhengdong's son, who was a few years younger than Jiang Dongxi, and was still in the kindergarten class.

Jiang Xi and Sun Zhengdong's lover chatted about some women's topics on the side, and also talked about Chen Jun and Tang Xin, she said that Chen Jun was pregnant, Tang Xin's baby was amazing, the two were very happy, there were occasional small quarrels, the two coaxed each other, it was really a small quarrel!

Sun Zhengdong's lover also said to Jiang Xi happily, "I really want to thank you, if you didn't help Tang Xin find a job, how could Tang Xin be so kind to find such a good girl, we couldn't think of it before! The most valuable thing is that Chen Jun likes Tang Xin very much, it turned out that we were worried that Tang Xin would be angry if Tang Xin married a girl with good conditions, and as a result, the two of them were as good as one person, Tang Xin's father-in-law and mother-in-law also like Tang Xin very much now, oops, I really didn't expect it!"

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

Sun Zhengdong talked to me about some work matters.

He said, "I really didn't expect that it would be so difficult for me to find a job in Nanjing, and after almost half a year, I almost didn't find a suitable one." ”

When I saw that his face was calm, I asked, "Why didn't you ride a donkey to find 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 to find a horse, and I must not quit naked.

Sun Zhengdong said with a smile, "At that time, on the one hand, I thought that I was very tired after working for so many years, and it was not bad to take a break, and I didn't expect that Nanjing was so difficult to find, on the other hand, it was a little urgent, my son had a severe allergic rhinitis, that is, he couldn't breathe when it was serious, and he could only breathe with his mouth, and if he breathed with his mouth for a long time, his throat would become inflamed, his nose and throat would become inflamed, and his ears would begin to feel uncomfortable, and his facial features would be the same!" The child is very uncomfortable, even eat with it, the medicine used for two years is not good, the medicine is too much, the body's immunity is getting worse and worse, some people say that the air in Beijing is not good, and it will be better to the south, so I am in a hurry to come to Nanjing. ”

"Is that better?" I asked curiously, "the air in Nanjing is indeed much better than in Beijing."

Sun Zhengdong said, "It's better, but it's still not good, and then recently I heard a friend who went to New Zealand say that the air in New Zealand is really very good, and their lungs were not good in Beijing, but they have recovered themselves in New Zealand." ”

I said, "My wife and children used to cough all the time in Beijing, but they got better in Nanjing." ”

"Well, the environment in Nanjing is indeed good, but it is still too far worse than New Zealand," Sun Zhengdong said, "and I heard that people in New Zealand don't work overtime, so I discussed it with my lover and planned to go there to have a look, and if it is really good for the child's condition, I can also find a job there, so I will stay." ”

"Can you just go there and find a job? There are a lot of restrictions on foreigners, right?"

Sun Zhengdong said, "Of course, we found an agent to study abroad for me, apply for a graduate degree, I can get a student visa, my wife can get a work visa, with a work permit, my children can go to public schools there for free, and my lover can find a job to make money." ”

"Isn't the tuition expensive?" I don't think it's cheap.

He said, "You can graduate with a graduate degree in one year, the tuition fee is 120,000 yuan a year, and the living expenses need about 200,000 yuan a year, and I am ready to 500,000 yuan, and the smoothest thing is that after graduating in one year, the grades are successfully qualified, and then the New Zealand country will give me a one-year work visa, and I can use this year to find a job, as long as I find a job, and the 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, listening a little bit as if it wasn't that easy, "By the way, you have to take IELTS, right?

Sun Zhengdong smiled, "I have worked hard for three months on IELTS, I haven't scored 6.5, I just got 6 points, cough! IELTS is really difficult, it's not easy to test, I plan to work hard for another two months, take the test again, if it doesn't work, we plan to follow the intermediary's arrangement, go over first, apply for the language course of the school I applied for, after learning, as long as you can pass the school's internal assessment, you can be admitted to the graduate degree, this is also a way." ”

Then I thought about the question, "You're almost forty too, aren't you?

"This is not a problem, New Zealand is a country of immigrants, the majority of the country's economic source is international students, and people who go to study in New Zealand are basically for immigration, so people around the age of forty study a lot, the cultural atmosphere of the whole country is also very strong, the local people also have a lot of work to about forty years old, feel tired of work, want to change the environment, recharge, go to study, people with green cards, study in New Zealand is very, very cheap, the main thing is the cost of foreign study abroad. ”

"Then after you get your green card, are you going 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 it must be retained.

He smiled again and said, "On this issue, it is also one of the main reasons why we choose to go to New Zealand, New Zealand is the only country that does not need to give up Chinese nationality, but can get a permanent return visa, unlike other countries that have to sit in immigration supervision, as long as you get a green card, you can live in New Zealand forever, but you don't need to become New Zealand nationality, and you can go back to China to live and work at any time, isn't it very exciting?"

"Hehe!" I laughed, it sounded really good, but I still thought it should be quite difficult, not to mention that a family of three was in a foreign country, there must be a lot of inconvenience.

He continued, "After getting a green card, it is exactly the same as the benefits enjoyed by the locals, New Zealand is a country that cuts the leeks of the rich and feeds the poor, and those who get a green card and nationality can receive a pension after the age of 60, regardless of whether they have worked when they were young, whether they have contributed to the country or not, they can receive money." As for the subsidy for poor families, everyone can receive a relief payment, and those who have children at home can receive milk money, of course, it is necessary to confirm that the family income is as low as a level, and the middle class with a good income is not. ”

"Sounds like a good perk!" I sighed.

At this time, Jiang Xi interjected, "Wouldn't there be a lot of people who are struggling, who have the ability and don't work, and live on receiving relief funds?"

Sun Zhengdong's lover took Jiang Xi's words, "That's right, this is also the shortcoming of a welfare country, people above the middle class have to pay a very high tax, about 40 percent, and the local people, especially the Maori, they are very poor, some people never work hard, some are a family of five or six, all rely on the welfare money to live, the relief money is not enough to spend, there will be a lot of robbery, theft, so now there are a lot of robberies in New Zealand." ”

"Oh!

To be honest, we don't usually know much about these things, and hearing them at this moment is quite new to us.

Sun Zhengdong said with a smile, "But don't worry too much, that side is still the top five safest countries in the world, other countries can't compare, there are small cases over there, the most is robbery, because that country has no capital crimes, you can eat and drink in prison, you can also take drugs, watch TV, human rights are supreme countries, so there are very few criminal cases of murder, and the occasional occurrence is said to be acquaintance vendetta or emotional entanglement, and there are few murders for money! Because gangsters don't have to kill people!"

"In this way, I feel that this kind of criminal law, whether it is good or not, the criminals must be unscrupulous!" Jiang Xi said as he thought.

"Yes, yes, I heard that the thieves and robbers over there are very arrogant, sometimes the police chase the thief, the thief runs and doesn't run, and then he is taken to the police station, the thief just sits there and cries, saying that he didn't steal it intentionally, it was because of financial difficulties, and the police will spontaneously donate money to the thief, and then educate him and let him go. There was another time when the thief was injured by the police, and then the police were fined a few hundred New Zealand dollars, and the compensation was given to the thief, and the thief was let go, and the punishment for petty theft in general is mainly to do volunteer work, and after doing enough days, he will be released at the end of his sentence, or serve his sentence in his own home with leg cuffs, so ......".

"Hahahaha!" Jiang Xi was finally amused by this punishment, "Is it more comfortable for many people to have no food and want to commit some crimes, and then go to prison!"

"If you go to jail, you will definitely have food, but there is no freedom, so not everyone wants to go to jail, and thieves and robbers will still run desperately when they see the police. ”

In this way, the bourgeoisie does not care about this little money, and the proletariat benefits the most, and the most dumb eats Coptis chinensis and cannot say it, it is the middle class. Jiang Xi said.

Sun Zhengdong answered, "Well, your analysis is very reasonable, what is the middle class? Just like me and Jiangdong, it is considered the middle class, if we go there, it is the most bitter class, but there are still many people who want to go, after all, there are many benefits there, at the same time, people like us are not particularly old, and they still have the ability to work, but anyone with a little ambition will work hard, and will not want to receive benefits, there is a shortage of people, many people in their sixties are still working, but they rarely work overtime, their lives are family-based, work is supplemented, the company does not let employees work overtime more than eight o'clock in the evening, this is the law, otherwise if the company is reported, the company will be severely punished”！

"Oh!" Jiang Xi's face gradually showed a trace of envy, "This is really good, Chinese employees work too much overtime, especially in the IT industry, some large companies, even if they are not married, they all sleep in the company, the last time I talked about the fertility rate, some people said, I am so busy all day long that I don't even have a life, where does xing life come from, no xing life, and what do you mention having children"!

"That's right, that's why many large companies now don't recruit employees over forty years old, their combat effectiveness is not good, and they are distracted to take care of their families, how can they fight like those young people, and some don't even have wives, and they don't look for wives anymore, because they don't have time to coax girlfriends, who wants to marry them!"

Well, Sun Zhengdong's lover seems to have told some unspeakable, sad truth!

At this time, Sun Zhengdong suddenly smiled more and said, "We came to you today, first, to catch up with you, and secondly, I want to ask you if you have any thoughts of going to New Zealand, if so, let's go together, we also have a companion, and it is very good for children's education over there!"

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

At present, I feel that I am quite good in China! I am quite content with food, drink, and shelter.

As a result, Jiang Xi didn't expect to say, "We are researching and researching, and we don't plan to go now, maybe we will go in the future, so we will study and study first!"

Me, "......".

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

Jiang Xi said, "There is no harm in researching and researching!"

I laughed again, okay, if you like to research, you can study, anyway, I don't think we will emigrate, but it would be nice to have the opportunity to go on a trip.

"By the way, have you ever been to New Zealand?

"We went there once last month, on a tourist visa, and it feels very good, it is really like a fairyland on earth, of course, there will be a lot of difficulties to settle there, and we are 200 percent ready. ”

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

Everyone has their own choice.

When the family had had enough of playing at my house and we had dinner together, they went home.

In the evening, when Jiang Xi and I were lying in bed, I asked Jiang Xi, "You said today that you were talking about going to New Zealand casually, right?"

Jiang Xi sat in front of the dresser and wiped his skin care products, and said, "No, isn't this just a rainy day? I thought, if one day you can't get along in China, 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 they really feel that everything is good, we can also go? If their life over there is not difficult, we can also follow their path!"

"Wife, you think too much, I won't be unable to find a job in China, and I don't want to go abroad!" I muttered the last sentence.

Jiang Xi smiled and hugged me and said, "I don't want to go out, and I won't force you, but it doesn't hurt to study and understand first, and make more preparations! ”

I was simply shocked by her words, "Wife, didn't you just start researching today?

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

I was stunned for a moment, "Wife, did you have a plan for this?"

Jiang Xi lay on my lap, shook his head with a smile and said, "I have a lot of plans, but in the end, which way we go depends on which part of the reality we are facing?"

"Oh!" I nodded, thinking she had a point, but I didn't particularly care, because I thought that we would always be fine in China, and we wouldn't be forced to go abroad.

It is said that this matter has passed like this, but I found that Jiang Xi still has some changes, and he has nothing to do to learn English silently, starting from the third grade course of primary school English in the people's education version.

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

Not only that, but she also enrolled me in a driving school.

In fact, I want to say that I don't want to learn to drive, 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, and I can be reimbursed for taking a taxi when I go out to work, and I don't need to drive at all.

But she reported it to me, and I didn't say anything, but ...... Coincidentally, since she enrolled me in a driving school, I was very busy with work, and I couldn't spare time to study, so I ...... I have never learned to drive, and the 1,200 yuan I spent at the driving school was wasted.

The Aunt Wang, who cleans in our house, is a bit old, fifty-six years old.

Jiang Xi sometimes said to me, "This Aunt Wang is not very clean in cleaning up the housework, and I see that she is also a little difficult to work." ”

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

Jiang Xi said, "Forget it, I still won't say it, she's so good, I heard what she meant, when her daughter-in-law gives birth, she won't do it, go to serve her daughter-in-law, and then wait for her daughter-in-law to recover, let her daughter-in-law come out to make money, and she will take care of the child!

"Oh!

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

Sure enough, within three months, Aunt Wang submitted her resignation, but Aunt Wang also thought about our family very much, she reintroduced us to an hourly worker, this hourly worker is to live in our community, rent a semi-underground milkman, she wants to earn a little more extra money in her spare time.

This person is a woman in her early forties, she said that her surname is Zhao, and her husband is a sanitation worker in the community, who works part-time to collect waste, and Jiang Xi calls her Sister Zhao.

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

Sister Zhao is also very talkative, gradually familiar, Jiang Xi learned from her mouth that she has a son, in Anhui hometown to study in a private junior high school, she said that the public school in the countryside of her hometown is not good, his son is very good at studying, she and her husband work hard to make money for their son to study in a private school, and her son's tuition and living expenses for a year are more than 50,000 yuan.

She and her husband worked hard to make money, they could earn about 100,000 yuan a year, and they went to the living expenses, and there were still some left, she felt that life was very satisfying and happy!

Jiang Xi is also quite happy for them!

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

It's just that one day, this Sister Zhao suddenly came to our house with a sad face, and while working, she wiped her tears.

A warm-hearted person like Jiang Xi naturally wants to ask, "What's wrong with you, Sister Zhao?
