One day, their boss told them, "The company is opening a new branch abroad and needs to send someone to work there for three years. The person who goes will receive a higher salary but will have to leave their hometown." Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao became very excited and immediately said, "I'll go! I want to earn more money!" However, Xiao Wang hesitated and thought, "If I leave, what about my parents? My wife just had a baby—they need me." The boss gave them three days to consider. Xiao Zhao spent his time thinking, "I will buy a big house, drive a new car, and in three years, I will be richer!" Meanwhile, Xiao Wang asked for his parents’ opinions, discussed it with his wife, and consulted colleagues who had worked abroad before. After three days, Xiao Zhao was still excited and believed he had made the best decision. Xiao Wang also made his choice—he decided to stay because he believed money was important, but family was even more important. A few years later, Xiao Zhao returned. He had bought a big house, but he realized that his friends no longer kept in touch, his parents had aged, and he had missed his child's growth. He had gained money, but he had lost many other things. Xiao Wang, although he hadn't earned as much, had spent time with his family and had also developed his career well. He felt truly happy. Questions: 1. Why did Xiao Wang decide not to work abroad? 2. When Xiao Zhao returned, did he regret his decision? Why or why not? 3. How much time did the boss give them to consider the decision? 4. What preparations did Xiao Wang make before deciding?
