Chapter 50: Persuasion
The fox's tail was finally revealed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhang Yuan said so much, prepared so much evidence, pictures and videos, and made so much foreshadowing for his property and manor, isn't this the last sentence?
When the family gradually accepted the reality of Zhang Yuan's discovery of gems, auction to get rich, and purchase of the manor, Zhang Yuan came to the final issue step by step.
Go abroad!
Yes, it's going abroad.
It's not that it's bad at home, in fact, many domestic systems have been changing in the past two years, and rich people can also be uncles, and it's no worse than abroad. However, there are also many deficiencies in China, at least in terms of food hygiene, there is an obvious gap in China. There is also the problem of the environment, which naturally cannot be compared with Canada, and the forest coverage rate cannot be compared.
Of course, none of the above is important, the important thing is that Zhang Yuan is ready to settle abroad, but he is a little too lonely alone. Now that he has money, it is not a problem to bring his family out, so he wants his parents and older siblings to go abroad and settle in Canada with him.
For this ultimate goal, he can be said to have taken great pains to finally fill this big hole, waiting for everyone's answer.
After listening to Zhang Yuan's words, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, as well as Brother Zhang, Sister Zhang's sister-in-law, and brother-in-law, everyone was stunned, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I didn't speak for a long time, just sat quietly. The two little ones are not yet sensible and have fun with gold coins on the ground.
There was silence around the log table for a while, and after a while, when Zhang Yuan couldn't wait, Zhang's father suddenly cleared his throat.
"What, your mother and I won't go, right? We are all so old, what kind of country are we going to go to, we are very happy that you have the opportunity to go abroad. And we don't speak foreign languages either, how inconvenient it is to go out......"
Immediately afterwards, the eldest brother Zhang Yu also expressed his opinion, it is nothing more than a lot of chicken farm work, and he can't be busy. Miao Miao is going to prepare for the start of school or something. In short, I can't go. The eldest sister Zhang Yu is similar, but after a circle, she has done so much foreshadowing, and no one in the family is willing to go abroad with her. Not to mention settling down, even if you go out for a while, there are all kinds of excuses.
Zhang Yuan was a little unhappy, he could roughly guess what his family was thinking, but he was still afraid. Because I have never been on a plane, I am afraid of flying, and because I have never been abroad, I am afraid of going abroad, just like many people who go abroad for the first time, in addition to expectation, there is also fear.
But he can understand it, but he can't agree with it.
He tried to continue to persuade, but Zhang's father and Zhang's mother seemed to have made up their minds, and no matter what he said, they just shook their heads vigorously. In the end, Zhang Yuan was forced to have no choice, and his neck was stalked.
"If you don't go abroad, I won't go back, the manor will be abandoned there, and the 60,000 acres of land will be wasted."
He really won't go back.
But that's what he said, and Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, who were the most inseparable from the land, suddenly lost their minds when they heard him say this. Looking at each other again, Dad Zhang nodded.
"Then, I'll go over with your mother and have a look...... But let's say it first, we won't immigrate, we will go to live with you for a while at most, and there are a bunch of our old buddies in the country, if I really go to live abroad with you, there is no one around me who knows me, then absolutely not! ”
Mom nodded vigorously beside her.
Zhang Yuan knows that this is already the limit of his parents, and the reason why they are reluctant to go abroad is that the worries and fears of facing the unknown environment are on the one hand, and they don't want to leave the familiar environment on the other. As Zhang's father said, they are here, whether they live poor or rich, they have a group of old buddies, relatives and friends at home, and a network of interpersonal relationships that they have woven for a lifetime.
And once he goes abroad, these nets are all gone, and there is no familiar person around, and Zhang Yuan has just experienced that feeling of loneliness, so he can fully understand his parents' thoughts.
So he didn't prepare to achieve the ultimate goal once, as long as his parents were willing to follow him out, even if it was only for ten days and half a month, this was a good start. As long as there is a beginning, a little bit of expansion of the offensive in the future, one day I can persuade my parents to settle abroad.
And with the nod of his parents, the eldest brother Zhang Yu's tone was also loosened, but he still couldn't go abroad with him, even if he went out to play for a few days, the chicken farm was really busy. In the end, it was decided that Zhang's father and mother would be the leader, and Zhang Yuan's sister-in-law, eldest sister and brother-in-law would take the two little ones to follow Zhang Yuan abroad for a week. The main reason is that Miao Miao is about to start school, and she can't delay her class.
Zhang Yuan also proposed to let Miao Miao go to school abroad directly, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law discussed it and felt that it was better to let Miao Miao finish elementary school and junior high school in China. The child is too young, and going abroad early is not the best choice for her. It is better to lay a good foundation in China first, and at the same time learn the mother tongue well, so as not to settle abroad early, and when you grow up, you will not even be able to speak your mother tongue and become a Canadian banana.
So, the matter of going abroad was so decided, it is not easy to get a passport, except for Zhang Yuan, the old Zhang family has no experience of going abroad, and the passport needs to be done from scratch. And it is somewhat troublesome for a family to apply for a passport together, but fortunately, Zhang Yuan has money now, and it is not difficult to find a relationship with someone, as long as he is willing to spend money, he can still do it.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family had a happy festival. Sitting in front of the TV, watching the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala held by the TV station, eating traditional moon cakes, and drinking red wine brought by Zhang Yuan from Canada, he was happy.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Yuan was ready to return to Canada. The passport matter is still being handled, and Zhang's father and Zhang's mother have to wait for the passport to be processed before they can go abroad. For this reason, Zhang Yuan also prepared to find a professional in China through Yuntong to handle the overseas affairs of the old Zhang family.
However, before going abroad, Zhang Yuan still has a few things to do.
The first thing to do is to attend a class reunion, and it's not a class reunion in college, it's a class reunion in high school.
I don't know who learned the news of his return, everyone doesn't know that he is out of the pot, only that he is working in the field. Now that I finally came back, the high school classmates in the small county town discussed getting together, and there happened to be a classmate who had just been promoted recently, and he was full of spirit and took the lead in organizing everyone to have a dinner.
Zhang Yuan didn't want to go, but he couldn't stand the repeated invitations of his friends in high school, and if he didn't go, he wouldn't give face, so he had no choice but to push back the ticket back for a day, and then drove the overbearing one he just bought, heading towards the county seat.
