[Concurrent] Hello everyone, I am Xiaoya, from Laos, married to Sichuan.
[Explanation] In the videos of Lao girl Xiaoya, she always greets netizens like this.
In the years since she was married to Sichuan, this gentle and demure girl has integrated into the local life.
Today, "Laos daughter-in-law Xiaoya" has more than 100,000 followers on the Chinese Internet, and she has also become a well-known local "carrying star".
Recently, when a reporter from China News Agency met Xiaoya in Danling County, Meishan City, Sichuan Province, she was mailing citrus to customers who placed online orders.
She skillfully packs and packs the fruit, sticks the waybill, and speaks standard Chinese in the process of communicating with the owner, which makes it hard to imagine that she is from Laos.
Xiaoya studied Chinese while studying at university in Laos, and has a good impression of Chinese culture, and she likes Chinese giant pandas very much.
In 2019, she and her husband Huang Wanli registered for marriage. The following year, Xiaoya officially came to live in Sichuan. She did not expect her husband and panda to be "compatriots".

Before I got married in China (before), I had a dream that I wanted to meet (big) pandas, because I like (big) pandas very much. When I was in love with my husband, I didn't know he was from Sichuan, but I found out that he was from Sichuan. Yes, he said that I would definitely take you to see the (giant) panda, and when he came to (Sichuan) to see the (giant) panda, he was very happy.
Sichuan people have a good heart and welcome foreigners. This is my favorite (place), and I also like the living habits here in Sichuan. I feel very comfortable.
[Explanation] Xiaoya, who first arrived in Sichuan, is a little uncomfortable. Her eating habits and tastes, and her inability to understand dialects make her embarrassed from time to time. However, the more important difficulty in front of her is "the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law".

Marrying here (China), the most difficult thing for me is that I can't communicate well with my mother-in-law. Poor communication means that the living habits are different. (Later) I have learned a lot of habits from the (China) side. I learned with my sister-in-law, and now I have adapted to my living habits, and I live a happy life more like a Chinese.
[Explanation] Later, with the help of her sister-in-law Qu Fei, Xiaoya gradually integrated into Sichuan life and got along better with her mother-in-law.
Qu Fei said that her mother-in-law treats her like Xiaoya as her own daughter. My brother and father-in-law are away all year round. As a sister-in-law, I will take better care of the family.

Xiaoya is really a very good person who loves to learn. Although she is not a little girl in China, she can know many things about these (cultural customs) in China.
She shoots and edits many videos by herself. We have always gotten along very well. I often tell her that we are your family. Every day, I send more fruits, and my mother and I will come back to shoot (video) for her. help her.
[Explanation] In the past few years, on the Chinese short video platform, Xiaoya often sees bloggers from all over the world sharing the current situation of life, as well as foreign bloggers sharing life in China, which inspires her.
In November 2021, after teaching herself to shoot and edit, she quickly produced a video.
Making hot pot, vaccinating, curing bacon... The ordinary life in Sichuan is novel and interesting as she tells it, and many videos have been viewed more than one million.
Danling County, located in the southern part of the Chengdu Plain, is rich in citrus. My mother-in-law's family contracted 20 acres of orchards, but most of them were sold to dealers at low prices before.
Since the beginning of this year, Xiaoya has tested the waters in the field of "carrying goods" in e-commerce, and successfully sold more than 10,000 catties of citrus, helping her family earn tens of thousands more.
After feeling the effect of "carrying goods", Xiaoya has a bigger goal.

(Previously) the boss came to collect (fruit) at a relatively low price. I had an idea that I wanted to help my mother-in-law sell (fruit) at a higher price, so I started an e-commerce business.
I just want to be able to do more, bigger and better than now (scale) in the future, and help the fruit (industry) in Danling County, Sichuan to make it better and better and become more and more famous.
