Pei Yong, 31 years old, is from HenanRurala welder. Although in the beyondRural, an age like him is not uncommon in Henan, but Pei Yong has never been able to find a daughter-in-law who suits him. The situation left both his mother and father in agony and distress. In order to change his single status, Pei Yong decided to go abroad. Although he didn't speak English or had worked for a large company, he had heard from a friend that there were more girls in Laos, and he set his sights on the country.
In order to adapt to life in Laos, Pei Yong began to study Lao and was determined to master the language. However, this was not easy for him, as he did not even learn English very well in junior high school, let alone Lao, which was difficult to learn. However, he needs to work during the day, so he can only attend classes at night. In order to ensure his memory, he set a rule for himself: if he can't complete the homework assigned the day before, he won't eat breakfast;If it's not done at noon, then even lunch is free. After two years of hard work, he was finally able to barely communicate in Lao. Pei Yong was only 29 years old when he went to Laos, and when he first entered the country, he realized that Laos did have more men than women, but that did not mean that they were friendly to foreigners. At one point, he went to oneRural, as a result, he was mistaken for a thief, he was arrested, and he was later released after an explanation. Despite this adventure, Pei Yong decided to stay in that village, and over time, he began to put down roots in the local area.
Laotian girls are precocious, and many are not well educated. Those who can go to school either have a very enlightened family or have relatively well-off conditions at home. After graduating from primary school, most ordinary girls stop their education and go home to help with farming. The population of Laos as a whole is small, less than 7 million people, but there are very many female students. They don't pay attention to food and clothing, because most people don't have a lot of wealth, so they don't have much comparability.
As Pei Yong gradually settled into life in Laos, he met a 19-year-old girl. Although according to Lao Xi, she can already get married, in fact, Pei Yong has been with her for less than a year. In order to welcome the marriage of the two, they held a grandWeddings。Usually, they live in the old man's house, and they are crammed into a room with a large family. However, in order to have an independent space, Pei Yong built a simple house in the back mountain. It's not as comfortable as squeezing in a room, but at least it's sheltering from the wind and rain.
In Laos, Pei Yong started his own small business to make ends meet, even though he didn't make much money. Compared with China, Pei Yong can feel the happiness of the Lao people. After all, Laos is not a developed country, and its per capita income is about one-sixth of that of China. However, for Laotians, they live a simple and happy life.

With the continuous development of medical and health services, state employees and ordinary residents can enjoy the benefits of free medical care. This is very advanced compared to many countries.

According to local Xi, Pei Yong gave the old man a motorcycle as a dowry. At the same time, Laotians are very friendly to their relatives, whether they are brothers-in-law or sisters-in-law, as long as they are married, they are a family, and there is no xenophobia.
Pei Yong and his wife have been married for more than a year, living a simple life and starting some small businesses, but the income is not high. Although Pei Yong felt a huge gap compared to China, after all, Laos is not a rich country, but this has not affected their happiness. In Laos, prices are relatively low, and there is a significant gap between them and the rest of the country.
Pei Yong has a very good relationship with his wife, she is like a docile and obedient cat, very gentle. Compared with women in China, she is more able to endure hardships, is very agile in farm work, and is as tenacious as Pei Yong's hometown of Henan. Since Pei Yong got married, there is one less bachelor in his family. The parents are very happy about this change, after all, the cost of marriage is only more than 10,000 yuan, and in China, this is not even enough for the banquet.
