Chapter 214: Think Twice Before You Act in Life
The resolution of the matter was somewhat unexpectedly smooth, Xiao's mother was here today to accompany her mother, and Zhao Hong and Xiao Wanting had left the Liu family's courtyard together after dinner, and returned to the school Xiao Wanting's house in a taxi that was still waiting.
Settled the cost of the day with the driver, there was the gas money and the lunch money at noon and night, but the driver did not accept these two money, according to him, there was no running today, the charter fare has been given a lot, and finally only 10 yuan of food money left.
Zhao Hong still sighed that the current Rongcheng driver master is still very simple.
Xiao Wanting was very satisfied and said, "We are good people in Rongcheng!"
"Well, this driver is good today. Zhao Hong also admitted this fact.
This is also an important reason for the good development of this city later, on the one hand, it has a large population, the overall food price is lower than that of other regions, and the wages can be slightly lower than other regions.
But these have nothing to do with Zhao Hong. After all, those are decades later, and so far the traffic here is still relatively backward and relatively closed.
I returned to her villa, cleaned up her bedroom briefly, and began to prepare for rest, even how fast and how fast to take a bath, whether the boiling water was boiled again, and the drink was still a large bottle of pure water that I had just bought at the school supermarket. Both of them are a little tired today!
However, Xiao Wanting still talked about what she heard a neighbor talk about when she came back from country M this time.
It was a middle-aged beauty who went out to study in the 80s, and when she heard that I was interested in becoming a citizen of country M, she told her story, "Back then, I changed my passport to save trouble in the United States and other countries, as long as I had a visa on arrival." But after changing my passport, my exit records were all in China except for the United States (because my other half worked in the United States). I used all the vacation I saved from work to go back to my parents' home, and I couldn't even afford to travel to Europe. Nostalgia is always our lingering complex, no matter how far we go, how long, nostalgia is always like an invisible thread that touches our hearts. Going home and going back to China is always our first choice. Fortunately, the visa procedure at the Chinese consulate is simple, just like a routine business, and I didn't pay much attention to it. ”
I also said disapprerovitically, "This is also the reason why I am ready to become a naturalized citizen first, after all, it is relatively easy to return to China!"
She smiled lightly and said helplessly, "Later, when I returned to China one year, I walked with my childhood friend. After nearly 20 hours of flying, when we stepped into China Customs in a daze, we were unexpectedly stopped by the customs police. Again, the reason is told in English: You are not ese. Ould you please fill these flish? (You are not Chinese, please fill out this form in English, okay?) They were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other. Instead, I remembered when they were on the plane filling out the forms together. When the flight attendant sent out the entry registration form, my friend asked me: The form is in Chinese and English, do we use Chinese or English? Without thinking, I said: We are Chinese, of course in Chinese!"
Zhao Hong asked a little strangely, "Is there any problem with this? Since they provide forms in both English and Chinese, it should be all right?"
"Yes, that's what I asked her at the time, after all, it's something I'm probably going to have to deal with later.
But her subsequent answer made me feel very sad!" Xiao Wanting said with some sadness.
She told me that in North America, both the locals and deep down in her heart, they regard themselves as Chinese, inheriting Chinese traditions and being Chinese with their parents.
In a small town where they live in country M, there are very few Asian faces, and many people there know her, but they don't care what nationality she is, her skin color represents her nationality, and he identifies her as Chinese.
At this time, they were denied entry because they wrote Chinese characters. The blow woke her up and shook her. She felt extremely sad that the Chinese could not do it, they were deprived of the right to write Chinese characters, and those staff members did not want to speak Chinese with them. The two of them were silent, so they could only obediently hide to the side to fill out the entry form again.
Everything is precious only after it is lost. In order to facilitate her entry and exit, she inadvertently renounced her Chinese nationality. After that, she will never be able to use Chinese in official settings. For her, who considers herself a countryman, the psychological blow is indescribable. This is also something she didn't think of anyway before she changed the blue book. ”
After Zhao Hong heard this story, he suddenly stared at her face for a long time, and then said, "Then what are you going to do?"
Xiao Wanting said a little sadly, "This time, my mother must come back, and she asked you to do so many things, in fact, it means to say goodbye at the end! After all, my brother and I will be in country M in the future, and we will work and live there in the future." Of course Mom and Dad are going to be with us, and there are not many opportunities to come back. ”
Zhao Hong also said with some trepidation, "Do you mean that I still retain my nationality?" or that I immigrated to Gangcheng and retained my nationality status?"
Xiao Wanting nodded a little solemnly and said, "After all, you are different from me, there are still many worries in China, and my parents, brothers, and uncles are all abroad." Our situation is different. ”
After Zhao Hong heard the above things, he began to feel uncomfortable, as if he was not a person inside and out. In foreign countries, people regard themselves as Chinese, and in China they themselves become foreigners. Who the hell is you?
Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Xiao Wanting said, "Actually, it's good for you to become a Hong Kong citizen, and you will have its own benefits at the expense of it! After all, there will be a lot of domestic business in the future, and it will be convenient for you to see your family! In other countries, can you apply for more work visas? Why do you have to become naturalized?"
Zhao Hong pondered for a long time, and finally decided to listen to Xiao Wanting first, after all, now that he has obtained the Australian green card, the naturalization has not yet been handled, and regret is still too late. It's okay to go to Australia to study, after all, the study environment and education level there are good, but you can't enter when naturalization is not necessary.
Anyway, M's green card has already begun to be processed, and it is still relatively easy to handle, after all, the two children have the nationality of country M.
Zhao Hong let go of his thoughts and said to her, "Okay, this is listening to you! So should there be some rewards?"
She said with a disgusted face, "Shouldn't you be grateful and show yourself?"
"The Queen Mother is auspicious, the slave is here......"
"Slow down, haha......"
