Chapter 53: Going Abroad

Food, drink, sex, and human desires are probably the two most important parts of people's daily lives.

So since people are so fickle when it comes to food, naturally there will be more changes and twists and turns between men and women.

This is true even for married people.

For example, Yang Weifan did not have a peaceful life this year. It was simply miserable.

Even recently, I suddenly suffered a major emotional blow.

And the reason why he temporarily invited two buddies, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, was to treat them as trash cans and vent out the grievances in his heart.

So on this Christmas Eve night, this famous star complained and got drunk just like the night before his wedding.

Although he was drunk in his own home this time, he was not afraid of others seeing him no matter how he lost his composure.

But it has to be said that when he wakes up, this situation will probably cause more harm to him.

Because the kind of freedom he can enjoy was obtained at the expense of the mistress of the family, who joined the capitalist world without hesitation.

Today, he and this family are like dishonorable discarded objects that his wife has left behind without cherishing them.

Of course, speaking of it, Yang Weifan's completely different situation from before getting married is basically due to the "going abroad craze" that happened this year.

This may not have any significant changes among the people. Only some senior intellectuals or university students may feel the warmth.

But the feelings among the powerful class and the upper echelons of society are completely opposite.

This is because the number of foreign exchanges and overseas study tours has surged tenfold or a hundredfold this year.

In the social relationship between the Yang and Zhou families, many people had the opportunity to be sent by the public to see Western scenes.

And as these people came to visit after returning to China, they not only brought some foreign gifts, but also described the prosperous scene of the capitalist world to people who could not see it with their own eyes.

Like how ordinary people in foreign countries can afford cars and live in bungalows.

Most of the managers of foreign companies are young, energetic, and very efficient at work.

The street scenes in foreign countries are particularly beautiful at night, full of colorful neon lights.

There are so many fruits, so many cheeses, butters, and dairy products in supermarkets, which you cannot see in China.

In addition, because the clothes are of the same style, everyone at the reception will get the wrong clothes as soon as they take off their coats.

It seems that we can draw conclusions such as "the gap between us and others cannot be caught up overnight" and "the moon in foreign countries is indeed round".

The perspectives and conclusions that travelers bring back from their sightseeing tours have not only a subtle impact, but also a huge effect.

Because this is different from movies, TV shows, magazines and novels that present the best side of foreign life, which many people know are fake. On the contrary, these people have witnessed it with their own eyes, which makes it more convincing.

So almost unintentionally, these people's one-sided understanding successfully shaped the lifestyle of developed countries in the Western world into a complete image, strongly touching the nerves of the next generation of the domestic elite.

Then the first generation of "abroad fans" in the Republic were born among those classes who did not need to use this method to change their situation.

Like Zhou Manna, she had a very beautiful illusion.

She believed that as long as she could "go out", she would be in heaven, where there would be flowers and fine wine everywhere, and everything would be better than at home.

The first time her attitude became clear on this issue was after she went to the cinema to watch "The Wrangler".

At that time, when Zhou Manna discussed Xu Lingjun's choice with Yang Weifan, she thought that the male protagonist was too stupid. He obviously had a rich father, but he gave up the opportunity to go abroad in vain.

Yang Weifan immediately retorted, saying that it was a man's sense of responsibility. If it were him, he would give up going abroad for the sake of his wife and children.

He originally thought that Zhou Manna would be moved after hearing this, but unexpectedly Zhou Manna said that she would definitely choose the opposite. After she went abroad, she would take her family with her abroad.

For this reason, Yang Weifan and Zhou Manna had a debate about values.

Yang Weifan believes that no matter how good it is, it is not as good as home, and no matter how good another place is, it is still a foreign country.

He believes that as long as everyone works together and given time, the country will be able to build a good country and catch up with or even surpass Western developed countries.

As for going abroad, of course you can go abroad if necessary for study and inspection, but as long as you are a patriot, you must come back to serve the motherland.

Otherwise, it will be a waste of the country's foreign exchange and training opportunities because of admiration for foreign countries, which is a kind of betrayal and crime.

But after hearing this, Zhou Manna laughed at him for being so old-fashioned as someone from the previous generation. She also said that his wishes were all wishful thinking like a mirage.

Because the pipes in their building could not be repaired even after half a month. The Republic will never be able to catch up with them, and the gap will only get wider and wider.

In this way, no one could convince anyone. In the end, Yang Weifan was too lazy to argue.

Because according to the reconnaissance, there is no need to fight for victory anyway. This is just a joke. Since it doesn't make sense, why waste the spitting.

He ended everything with a very realistic statement.

"Manna, let me remind you. You are a soldier, and you can't go, so your thoughts are in vain. Don't say such words in the future. If others hear it, it will have a bad impact on us."

But what he didn't expect was that this reminded Zhou Manna that she had really started to take action on her dream of going abroad.

Within a few days, she begged her father to get her discharged and transferred to another job, on the pretext that she couldn't stand the same environment in the army day after day.

Later, he took the Zhoujiamen route and was transferred from the army's internal newspaper office to the national news agency.

For no other reason than because she heard from friends and sisters from the International News Agency that the National News Agency is currently building overseas branches everywhere. Not only are there many opportunities for overseas assignments, but they are all developed countries now. Best opportunity to take a look.

In this way, under the guise of the Yang family and the Zhou family, even though she had only been in the club for half a year and did not speak foreign languages, she managed to get things done by herself without saying a word. She really got a Opportunity to go abroad to the Paris branch at the end of the year.

Although I am only responsible for daily office logistics, it is a victory to be able to go, not to mention that it will be a full two years.

This is definitely enough to make many people jealous and even break their heads.

But Zhou Manna herself didn't expect that as soon as she came home and showed off her joy, Yang Weifan would become angry at her for making her own decision.

Because he really couldn't understand why she, while living the best life in the country, yearned for a world that was completely unfamiliar to her.

Is it just because others told her that it was really beautiful there?

"Go abroad, go abroad, go abroad." Even she herself didn't understand why she wanted to go abroad. But she was obsessed with it.

It seems as if you are not living if you don’t go out and take a look.

What is this? Again, this is a crime that is a waste of national resources.
