National Tide 1980.

Chapter 283

The two families are engaged, and the next step is to get a marriage certificate.

How easy it is to get married, one man and one woman get one certificate, and that's it.

Even if it is a cross-border marriage, there is no trouble, it is nothing more than the approval procedures of multiple embassies or consulates.

Speaking of it, this is thanks to Song Huagui's pioneering feat back then.

Because if it weren't for her to defend her love, she wrote a letter to express her feelings, and it went straight to heaven.

How could there be such freedom and convenience in the tens of thousands of foreign-related marriages after her?

I am afraid that many people will still suffer from various obstacles and pressures from various aspects because they have developed feelings for foreigners.

After so many years, the parties involved in foreign-related marriages will no longer feel the ups and downs that Song Huagui and her husband Wanman encountered in their marriage.

No one will be like them back then, who can only rely on the braid pattern as a code, rely on the note in the tree hole to convey the message of love, and communicate secretly like a secret agent.

Today's people can put their love under the sun without considering the difference of nationality, and fall in love and get married openly.

Even because "foreign affairs are no small matter", when it comes to the step of obtaining the certificate, the relevant departments will expedite the process and send blessings to show the beauty of adults.

This is undoubtedly due to Song Huagui's tenacity and bravery.

From this perspective, as one of the beneficiaries of Zhanguang, Mi Xiaoran should really thank Song Huagui.

Even if it is nothing else, just because she can be freed from the distress of going abroad, the reason for gratitude is enough.

I have to admit that having an American husband really works.

This time Mi Xiaoran went to apply for a passport again, and the management agency in charge of going abroad in the capital immediately improved its work efficiency.

She only took a trip, and the passport was successfully issued.

The fortress that could not be attacked repeatedly in the past was conquered so easily.

Of course, a passport alone is not enough, that thing can only prove a person's legal identity, regardless of other things.

If you really want to go abroad, you cannot avoid the step of applying for an entry-exit visa.

Which country you go to, you will get the country's embassy or consulate in China to apply for an entry visa.

As we all know, it is probably not as difficult to get a visa to the United States in any country in the world.

For nothing else, it is because the United States has long been the richest, most powerful, and most modern country in the world.

Coupled with the super brainwashing ability of Hollywood movies, they successfully dressed up America as a free land where dreams can be realized, which naturally aroused the yearning of people all over the world.

It's just that in fact, the Yankee's nature is to take advantage of it without losing it.

What they need is useful people, either rich, talented, or young and strong, you can come.

These three people who don't occupy anything, still want to go to their land to plan food?Grandma!

Therefore, the US visa officer's review of the procedures is particularly strict.

The actual situation in 1982 was that more people began to dream of the American dream in the Republic.

If compared with before the promulgation and implementation of the "Temporary Regulations on Studying Abroad at Self-Finance" in January last year, the number has increased by at least ten times.

So the visa officers in the United States will not receive our Chinese people as they did at the beginning.

Very enthusiastically serve coffee to those who are eager to witness the true face of the free country.

He even put on airs arrogantly, and those who needed visas waited early.

At the same time, the refusal rate is also rising day by day.

So much so that starting at seven or eight o'clock every morning, a first-class long line can be lined up at the gate of the US embassy in China, waiting to be interviewed by the visa officer.

Those are all people who are willing to go all out, do not hesitate to lose their families, and want to go to the other side of the ocean to see the Statue of Liberty.

And what these people are most afraid of is that they can pass the first pass of obtaining a passport in the country, but they cannot pass the second pass that requires a big-nosed visa to be released.

In fact, there are indeed quite a few people who have repeatedly hit the wall and have not given up.

Such unlucky people, the biggest wish is to try a few more times to see the visa officer right, and they will be merciful and let them out.

Fortunately, compared with these people, Mi Xiaoran who is already married to Zhao Hanyu doesn't have to worry at all.

The superiority of having an American husband is more fully reflected in this link.

She didn't have to queue at all. With Zhao Hanyu's passport in hand, she could directly enter an office of the embassy without hindrance and enjoy the best courtesy.

She drank fragrant and pure coffee with Zhao Hanyu, and with his help, she filled out the application form for going to the United States.

With the backing of the Zhao family's sufficient assets, it is enough to ensure that Mi Xiaoran will not become a burden on American society.

They just answered a few simple questions from the amiable female visa officer, and they passed the customs smoothly.

However, when Mi Xiaoran came out of the embassy again, he saw those people in front of the door who were in awe and honestly lined up in a long line.

Listening to some people discussing the lament of being rejected several times, and the advice of some experienced "veterans" to others.

An indescribably clinging complex emotions inevitably emerged from the depths of her soul.

Among them, there is not only the joy for oneself, but also an inexplicable inferiority complex, and even pity for these compatriots.

She didn't know why, but she just vaguely felt the unequal national power...

Mi Xiaoran's procedures for going abroad were completed in this way.

After that, she used the time to go to the United States to go through the resignation procedures and prepare her luggage for going abroad.

The fact that Mi Xiaoran was going abroad had actually become news in the unit since Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing's wedding was announced by her.

Not to mention the person in charge of the labor and management department, even the general manager and secretary of the hotel have heard of it.

So the procedure is not difficult, it is nothing more than a matter of going to the labor and management department to go through the procedures.

Just fill out a few forms and receive the severance salary.

Mi Xiaoran's level is the leader of the front desk department, and he has worked for two full years.

The resignation salary is calculated according to the length of service, one year of service gives one month's salary, and finally received 180 yuan.

If calculated according to the official exchange rate of 1:1.893 at that time, it was only one hundred dollars.

After getting the money, Mi Xiaoran couldn't help but feel as if he was a lifetime away.

Because thinking about how much she yearned for this job at the beginning, it is still fresh in her memory.

She never thought that it would be so easy to let go of this iron rice bowl today.

Cutting off all ties with the hotel cleanly like this made her feel very uncomfortable.

Even when she said goodbye to those friendly colleagues and walked out of the hotel, she faced the bustling Chongwenmen Street.

Her tears burst out suddenly, falling down like broken beads.

She cried as she walked, always trying to wipe away the tears with a smile.

But if you wipe it, there will still be.

This is so weird.

Mi Xiaoran doesn't think she is reluctant to take this job.

She didn't regret such a choice, if she didn't make a fuss, she would have no chance in this life.

Of course she doesn't want to live a life of rules and regulations like ordinary people.

I don't want to stay in this hotel when I am in my 50s, and be called "auntie" by young people.

No, but she just wanted to cry and couldn't stop.

There is no clear reason, just very sad.

It can only be said that human nature is contradictory.

Maybe it's just because I get along so well with the leaders and colleagues.

She can't forget that sister Qin told her to drink more hot water just like her mother when her stomach hurt...

Maybe it's because of the nostalgic atmosphere here like a big family.

She also can't forget that her close colleagues sit together to eat melon seeds, joke around, and get along like real sisters...

Of course, it is also possible that she can't bear the taste of oily cabbage and roasted eggplant in the canteen of the unit, and she can't bear to bear the familiar street in front of her.

In the world, I am afraid that only the canteen of the hotel can make that kind of taste.

Even with her eyes closed, she knows what shops are on this street, what time they open and what time they close...
