Many country brides have never even been to their county town and cannot speak Mandarin, so every time there are any formalities to be dealt with, they have to take their husband with them. If the husband is working in Taiwan, he can only fly to the mainland to deal with these matters now and then when he has the time.
不少鄉下新娘，連縣城都沒去過，也不會講普通話，每辦一次手續，都要先生陪著跑來跑去；先生若在台灣工作，就只能偶爾有空時才飛去大陸處理這些事情。
