This is the 132nd character told by the stone that wrote the story.
The editor recently came across a video of Rennes in the Philippines. In 2020, a grand Sino-Filipino wedding was held in a village in Henan. A rural Henan man born in the 1980s married a Filipino daughter-in-law born in the 1990s, and gave birth to a mixed-race son. Now his Filipino daughter-in-law has lived in Henan for 2 years, raising her son to be fat and fat, and raising her Filipino daughter-in-law to be fat. The whole family is fat. What is the life of his Filipino daughter-in-law, Ren, like after marrying to Henan? Today's story writer Shi Shi takes you into the happy life of Filipino daughter-in-law Ren in Henan!
Everyone in the village is talking about the foreign wife! This is the first foreign daughter-in-law in our village. Will she be able to get used to the life of Henan people when she marries into our village? There were a lot of people gossiping about each other, but this wedding was extremely lively. Renn used to carry a big sedan and the matchmaker was marrying the daughter-in-law who came in. On the wedding day, gongs and drums were beating, firecrackers were blasting, and amid the cheers of everyone, they slowly stepped off the sedan chair, went to the church to get married, and completed the entire ceremony in accordance with Chinese wedding customs. From then on, Renne became the daughter-in-law of Henan.
It takes a lot of courage to say goodbye to your family and marry from the distant Philippines to a rural area in Henan. Marrying a Filipino wife requires no bride price, and she is diligent and down-to-earth. After marrying, you will take your husband's surname. It sounds really good. But as we all know, the Philippines is a very poor country, with slums everywhere and many people living a precarious life. If you marry a Filipino daughter-in-law, you will most likely have to help your mother-in-law. Lane's husband from Henan is an example. After receiving his salary every month, he first sends money to his mother-in-law in the Philippines, and sends 1,000 yuan a month for living expenses. He roughly calculated the money for the child's milk powder each month, the mother-in-law's living expenses, and the family's living expenses. 6,000 yuan a month was not enough. Now because of the epidemic, it is difficult to find a job. When I stay in the countryside and have no money, I am more worried about life.
Renn's husband from Henan usually does decoration work outside. For rural people with no education or background, it is easier to earn more by doing decoration, and it is easier to make money. If they work diligently, it is very easy to support a family. When there is no work to do, he goes home to spend time with his wife, children and old father.
After Ren married to Henan, she gave birth to a son soon after. The Chinese father-in-law was very happy with the arrival of his son and loved his little grandson very much. The Henan husband loved her like a treasure and raised the child to be chubby, cute and sensible, which makes people feel bad. The child is only 1 year old. Now that he can walk, his mother makes sophora flower cakes, and he eats them deliciously. He does not need to be fed by others, and he just stuffs his mouth with them. No wonder people from the north grow so strong. They have eaten whole grains since they were young, and they have been eating by themselves since they were young. They are very independent and can feed themselves by their own abilities. This little guy is so cute.
After Ren married to Henan, he was very filial to his father-in-law and cooked Filipino food for his Chinese father-in-law. The Chinese father-in-law praised it for being so delicious and even made two plates of dipping sauce. Renn usually eats with his Chinese father-in-law and never eats separately. Although Renn's Chinese is not good and he doesn't understand the language with his Chinese father-in-law, there is no conflict in getting along with him. She ate whatever her Chinese father-in-law did. She kept eating anyway without talking. She found that people who like to eat seemed not to mind everything around them and were not picky. They would eat every bite they could and never thought of quarreling.
Their family’s meal was really funny. Her father-in-law watched her daughter-in-law eat with gusto. There is a reason why Ren gained weight after marrying in Henan. It is because it is so edible, whether it is pasta or steamed buns with side dishes. Maybe Henan is rich in watermelons. Ren came to Henan to achieve fruit freedom and eat freely. When she was eating watermelon, her father-in-law kept looking at her and looked at her with suspicion. Is this watermelon really so delicious? I eat everything in such a hurry, like eating a big meal, hahaha!
Her Henan husband knew that she loved to eat, so he bought her a bunch of delicious food for her son's birthday. He ordered a big cake, two bowls of braised noodles , and her father-in-law ate braised noodles, three braised chicken legs , and a bowl spicy and sour chicken feet . The cake was eaten by his naughty son, and Renn had a special liking for braised chicken legs and chicken feet.
Their family has a good family tradition. If there is something delicious in Rennes, they will take the initiative to see their father-in-law to eat. They will teach their sons to let their grandfather eat first. Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. After picking a pot of mulberries, the family squatted on the ground to eat. There are so many delicious foods in rural Henan.
The family walked to the market in order to have a bite of spicy soup . In order to exercise, the family happened to be able to lose weight. The youngest son was only a little over one year old and could walk. He had perseverance and walked such a long way with his calves bouncing. It turns out that some children have good physical fitness and have exercised since they were young.
After a while they came to the market and ordered a spicy soup and a cake in the store, which confused Renxiang. Renn ate the spicy soup with big mouthfuls. The younger son was so happy after eating a piece of cake, his little feet were still dangling. This child is really funny. While drinking spicy soup, Ren also had a video chat with his parents in the Philippines. He was very happy. He went out to eat delicious food, and of course he wanted to share this delicious food with his parents.
Ren married in Henan for two years and fell in love with eating Henan braised noodles. One bite of noodles and one garlic. The taste has completely changed. It seems that everyone who marries to Henan needs to go through the braised noodles, because basically every meal is braised noodles.
During the Chinese New Year and holidays, relatives came to the house. Renn put on his apron and was busy cooking in the kitchen. The whole family loves to make barbecue. She has integrated into this big family.
She married in Henan, so she couldn’t afford to eat. Otherwise, why would she be fat? The Philippines is hot all year round and there is no winter. After Ren came to Henan, it was difficult to adapt to the climate here. Henan was very cold in winter, with snow and hail, which made her shiver. Fortunately, there was heating in the north. Her Henan husband felt sorry for her and was reluctant to let her do the farm work at home. She spent more time at home with her children and cooking. But it seems that she likes snowy days and takes her son to play snowball fights in the snow.
Spring is here, the rapeseed flowers are blooming, and Ren takes his son on a spring outing. Life is beautiful everywhere, but he lacks a pair of eyes to discover beauty.
Wren is a Filipino and has been able to speak English since she was a child. Therefore, for her children's education, she does her best to teach them English. This is what Wren's Henan husband feels most gratified about. Learning as many languages as possible for her children will be good for their future development.
Ren's husband's family has better conditions in rural Henan. They have a house and a car, and the husband works outside to earn money. He is motivated and takes care of the family. He also sends 1,000 yuan for living expenses to his mother-in-law every month. This is already done very well, and most sons-in-law cannot do this.
The editor has to admire that Henan people can find wives wherever they go to work. There are also true stories of Henan people who went to Africa to work and brought their wives and children back. Are Henan people really so charming? Henan men are famous for their ability to endure hardships, but they are notorious for loving their wives!
Now Ren is living happily in the countryside of Henan. He misses his mother-in-law and can video chat on WeChat at any time. The children have grown up slowly and married to a foreign country. From then on, he has a warm harbor.
It is too difficult to marry a wife in China now. More and more people go abroad to work and bring back foreign wives. However, running a transnational marriage is very hard. I can only say that there are pros and cons. It is not easy to meet one, so do it and cherish it.
They also registered an account on the short video platform and used cameras to record her daily life in Henan.
