"What a good young man. If this were in Myanmar, I would have to find him more wives..."
Hu Junzheng's words were somewhat reserved, but the old lady's next words instantly petrified Zhuang Rui.
"This... how many more wives are you looking for? Is this okay?"
Zhuang Rui held a piece of braised pangolin in his mouth and didn't put it in his mouth for a long time. He asked a silly question, which made everyone laugh.
"Polygamy is allowed in Myanmar, but if you have more than one wife, it's not necessarily a good thing. Don't listen to grandma..." Hu Rong explained to Zhuang Rui while laughing.
It turns out that in Myanmar, because there are many ethnic groups, each has its own rules, there are no government laws at all. If a thief is caught, he will often be beaten to death by the onlookers. This is the case in Myanmar.
Not illegal.
The Myanmar government basically doesn't care about anything. For example, internal disputes in each village are mediated by the village elders in accordance with local customs, which is generally fair.
Moreover, Myanmar seems to have no concept of nationality. It is a land of true "freedom and democracy". You don't even need to apply for Myanmar citizenship. You only need to practice in a local temple for 7 days and gain recognition from local customs. From then on, you will be recognized by Myanmar society.
, even if you have full qualifications as a Burmese man.
In this way, they have the same rights as local residents, except maybe the right to vote, but there seems to be no election in Myanmar, and they can marry and have children locally.
Myanmar is a country with seriously low productivity. The issue of survival is the primary issue that ordinary people need to solve. In addition, there is no family planning here. Every family has many daughters. Some of them who cannot afford to raise them will marry off their daughters.
Of course, the person getting married does not necessarily need to be single.
Myanmar’s polygamy system may seem funny, but it actually has a beneficial side to women.
For example: Unless the woman has committed dishonorable behavior, divorce is absolutely prohibited. You must not start a relationship and give up. To use a saying often said in Western churches: No matter you are poor or sick, you must support your wife.
her whole life.
Since women are responsible for labor, men are responsible for all housework - cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of children. According to the general level in Myanmar, if you have 3 wives and 8 children, then there are a total of 11 people doing housework.
You do it.
When Zhuang Rui heard this, he felt chills all over. Thinking of a big man carrying one on his back, another in his arms, and a group of naked children behind his back, Zhuang Rui shuddered. What a fool this Burmese man was.
A bit too miserable, right?
Maybe some friends will say that it's a bit miserable during the day, but you can have good sex at night and live the life of a groom every night, which is something you can't do in China.
But this is not necessarily a good thing. In Myanmar, the concept of "fairness" in traditional customs is also deeply rooted in all aspects of family life. You must treat each of your wives equally and take turns to pay tribute to Zhou Gong.
If some of the wives you marry are prettier and you want to prefer them, then you can’t. This will be unanimously condemned by public opinion. It has become a moral obligation here to do whatever the same person does. There must be many
My classmates will lose all interest in sex.
"Brother Hu, why can't men work in the fields and women take care of the children at home?" Zhuang Rui asked in a strange way. It is better to contribute some effort outside than to help the children sweep the floor at home, right?
Hu Rong shook his head when he heard this and said: "Myanmar is different from China. If a man has three wives and three women are responsible for housework, then the farm work of four people will definitely be beyond the ability of one man to bear.
And if one man and two women go to farm, the two women farming will definitely worry that their children will not be well taken care of by the other woman, and conflicts will easily arise.
Therefore, the only reasonable institutional arrangement is to let all women farm the fields, while men stay at home and take care of the children. Moreover, the relationship between these wives is generally very good, almost like biological sisters..."
Zhuang Rui was dumbfounded by Hu Rong's words. This must be a fair distribution. If we put it this way, having one more woman in the family means the eldest wife has one more helper and less fatigue.
Zhuang Rui even suspected that the eldest wife would not only not prohibit her husband from marrying more, but might encourage her husband to marry as many wives as possible. Women in Myanmar work together during the day and rest in the same bed at night. The relationship between the women is established during labor.
The friendship and trust are likely to be very close.
Therefore, what Hu Rong said about the wives being "like sisters" is not an exaggeration at all in real life in Myanmar.
After Hu Rong introduced the marriage customs in Myanmar, he looked at Zhuang Rui with a smile and said, "How about I find you a temple and stay there for seven days so that you can enjoy the treatment of the Burmese people? With your wealth,
I'm afraid there are a lot of people rushing to marry their daughter to you..."
"No, Brother Hu, I don't dare to tell Xuan Bing what you said..."
Zhuang Rui raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, causing everyone to laugh. Everyone was joking about Zhuang Rui. The atmosphere at the wine table was very harmonious. Even the old lady drank several glasses of home-brewed wine.
rice wine.
Although Zhuang Rui said he didn't dare, his heart felt warm, but he knew that Qin Xuanbing was cold on the outside and soft on the inside. If he really did this, it would definitely break her heart.
In addition, if he wanted to marry, he would have to find a girl from China. When he thought of this, the shadow of Miao Feifei suddenly broke into Zhuang Rui's mind, which scared Zhuang Rui's heart.
This one is even worse. If this aunt was born in Myanmar and her husband dared to marry another woman, she would definitely cut off someone's life with scissors in the middle of the night.
After dinner, Hu Rong arranged for Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei to stay in the guest room. There is basically no entertainment here in Myanmar. After eight or nine o'clock in the evening, it became very quiet. People drank some wine and worked hard all day.
Zhuang Rui took a shower and fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, it was already past nine in the morning. Zhuang Rui quickly got up, washed briefly, and walked out of the room.
Hu Rong happened to walk into the small courtyard where Zhuang Rui lived. After seeing him come out, he said hello and said: "Xiao Zhuang, go have breakfast. Don't rush out in the morning. Let the two professors rest more. By the way,
I won’t greet you anymore. I’ll go to the hotel first to check..."
Zhuang Rui nodded. He knew that the two of them were really tortured yesterday. The few times they vomited in the middle, they almost vomited out the yellow bile water. Even at noon, they might not be able to recover.
Come.
After Hu Rong explained to Zhuang Rui, he left in a hurry. After Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei had dinner, they got into their rooms and closed the door.
"How is it? Can you compare it?"
Zhuang Rui looked at Peng Fei slightly nervously. Peng Fei was holding a map of Pagan and comparing it with the location of the sun flag on the digital camera display.
Yesterday, after seeing how everywhere in Pagan was being excavated, Zhuang Rui's hope was no longer very high. Maybe the treasures from back then would be dug out by jade miners.
After Peng Fei looked at it carefully for a long time, he said with confidence: "Brother Zhuang, the location on the map is about 30 kilometers into the Savage Mountain. It should be considered deep into the mountain. It is inaccessible and will not be visited.
found……"
"Savage Mountain?!"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Zhuang Rui, who had read a lot of relevant information before coming to Myanmar, was no stranger to this name.
Savage Mountain was the place where the Chinese Expeditionary Force was defeated for the first time. Tens of thousands of defeated Chinese soldiers were swallowed up by that mountain. Unexpectedly, little Japan would one day be besieged there.
The city of Pagan is located on the edge of Yeren Mountain. The Wulu River, the birthplace of emeralds, flows through the middle of Pagan City. The so-called Laokeng Jade Mine is basically located on both sides of the Wulu River.
at.
"Thirty kilometers, let's do it this way. I'll let it go first. After seeing the jade mine, I'll see if I have a chance to go there and take a look..."
Thirty kilometers is not very far in Zhuang Rui's mind. With his and Peng Fei's physical condition, three or four hours is enough for a round trip even in the mountains. He was wondering if he could find an excuse to go hunting with Peng Fei.
Have a look there.
We have arrived at Pagan, and the treasure is close at hand. Although the two of us cannot take it out, Zhuang Rui will not be willing to take it out if he doesn't take a look. If the treasure is still there, he can always find a way to take it out in the future.
of.
Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei had been studying the map. At noon, they received a call from Hu Rong. He was accompanying the two professors and asked his driver to pick up Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei. He repeatedly emphasized that they should
Just wait outside the house and don't go out of the city within the city.
Hu Rong was thinking about the safety of the two of them. In Pagan, all the major jade companies are at odds with each other, and they all have a group of mercenaries, and assassinations of each other happen from time to time. Maybe
When they entered the city yesterday, they would be targeted by some malicious force.
Those forces would not have the guts to assassinate and kidnap Hu Rong, because that would cause turmoil in the entire Pagan and even Myanmar. However, some forces could still seize Hu Rong's guests and do some threatening things.
of.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the driver I saw yesterday drove the car to the door of the house. When he came in, there was only one car, but when he drove out of the city within the city, five more cars followed him.
The mine we are going to visit today includes not only Hu Rong's own jade mine, but also another company's. Moreover, we have to pass through the territory of several powerful forces along the way, so we must be careful.
