743 Looking Back Suddenly, China Is Better (1/3)

Chapter 743 Looking back, China is better (13)

Lu Weisha didn't come to school for several days in a row, and the kindergarten teacher just told other children who cared about her that Lu Weisha had not come home yet, so this situation continued for a week.

A new Monday came. Yang Yi sent Xixi to the kindergarten. When he was about to walk out of the gate of Chuntian Kindergarten, he finally saw a familiar figure.

David! He was standing beside his car, looking at the teaching building of the kindergarten in a trance, his eyes fell on the position of the big class.

"David!" Yang Yi greeted with a smile.

Yang Yi speaks Swedish and has a lot of topics to talk about with him. It can be said that Yang Yi is David's best friend in China. David was also very happy to see Yang Yi, and the two exchanged greetings in Swedish on the side of the road.

"It's been a long time since you and Lu Weisha returned to Sweden. Xixi misses it badly. She was talking to me last weekend, when will Lu Weisha come back? I can only tell her, soon." Yang Yishen She shrugged and said, "Now she should be very happy to see Lu Weisha."

David shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "I'm sorry, my friend! Although Lu Weisha is back, maybe you should go back tonight and comfort Xixi... Hey, this cute little girl , Lu Weisha's best friend in China..."

In Yang Yi's surprised eyes, David told Yang Yi about the changes in his work and Lu Weisha's life and study arrangements.

It turned out that they came back so late because David needed to go through some formalities at the Swedish headquarters of Walmart. Originally, David didn't plan to bring Lu Weisha back to China, because Maria didn't come back, and she wanted to stay in Sweden to help David take care of his life after returning. It's just that Lu Weisha misses Xixi and the others, so she can't help but say goodbye to her good friend.

"...Lu Weisha was reluctant to leave her friend. She cried in Sweden for a few days. I could only bring her here so that she could play with her friends in China for a few more days. When the handover of my work is completed at the end of the month, we will have to bring her here. Going home, Lu Weisha also needs to go to primary school in Sweden in the future." David sighed.

By the end of the month? It's late April now, and there's only a week left...

"I can understand, after all your hometown is in Sweden." Yang Yi patted David on the shoulder gently and said calmly, "It doesn't matter, even if they have crossed half the world, I believe they can still remember this friendship. , remember the joy of this year."

Having said that, Yang Yi can imagine how sad Xixi will be when she finds out about this!

Xixi is a little girl who attaches great importance to feelings. It can be seen from the fact that she has been playing in Australia and has been talking about writing to Lu Weisha.

Compared with her daughter, Yang Yi felt a little ashamed. When he treats friendship, his emotions are actually a little indifferent, especially his relationship with David, which fully interprets an old saying: the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

Hearing the news that David, a friend, was leaving, his heart did not fluctuate, but he was more concerned about how sad Xixi would be.

"Want a cup of coffee?" Yang Yi felt that he should learn from his daughter and invite David.

David has just returned to China, and now is the time for the handover of powers, he is not in a hurry to go back to work, and happily accepts the invitation.

...

Or a corner coffee shop.

After the completion of "Fat Man", Ding Xiang and Guo Ziyi had returned from the magic capital before the Qingming Festival. Now Ding Xiang is at the bar with sugar cubes, taking care of the business in the store.

"Which one of you two can move me somewhere?" Yang Yi shrugged and smiled, "I'll make a cup of coffee for David."

The space in the bar is limited, so it's ok for two people to stand, but three people are very crowded.

It was Ding Xiang who was familiar with Yang Yi's habit. She took out the coffee beans that Yang Yi had collected from the counter and walked out with a smile.

Fang Tang is also quite clever. She quickly wiped the table with a rag, helped to take out the utensils for grinding coffee, and said, "Boss, I will help you!"

It didn't take long to grind two cups of coffee. After a while, Yang Yi and David were holding coffee and leaning against the bar, drinking and chatting.

Fang Tang watched for a while, then rubbed over to Ding Xiang's place and whispered to her: "Sister Ding Xiang, what is the boss talking about with that foreigner? It's not like English!"

"That's David, a Swedish. Brother Yang should be speaking Swedish with him." Ding Xiang raised his head and smiled.

"The boss can speak Swedish?" Fang Tang smacked her tongue. "Didn't it say that the boss sang English songs in the news a few days ago? How can he know so many things?"

"So, he's the boss!" Ding Xiang squeezed the sugar cube's face with a smile and said, "Less gossip and work more seriously. One day, you will be as good as the boss!"

...

At first, Yang Yi just chatted with David about coffee. After chatting and chatting, the somewhat sentimental David became emotional.

"Although most of the coffee shops in China sell bad coffee, it's different on your side, and with you, I can drink top-quality coffee. In fact, many things are the same. When I first came to China, I didn't know anything about it. I felt uncomfortable, but gradually, I found that I also liked living in China. I just got used to it, and I have to leave again.”

Yang Yi smiled slightly: "That is, China is a magical country with rich and beautiful scenery, a culture of more than 5,000 years, and strong, tolerant and friendly Chinese people. The more seriously you understand it, The easier it is to like it.”

"My friend, you missed one more thing!" David laughed, "It's very safe in China! Did you know? I once had my bicycle stolen. Two days later, the police helped me find it, and I felt it was difficult. Confidence."

"..." Yang Yi was speechless for a while, but he really wanted to tell David: That's because you are a foreigner!

David talked happily, he continued: "It is different in Sweden, we have accepted many refugees who have escaped from war-torn countries. Although our kindness has saved their lives, the integration between different cultures is very difficult, which often causes social problems. conflict."

"And guns are regulated in China, but not in Sweden. To be honest, after returning to Sweden, I will send Lu Weisha to a regular school, but I will still worry about the safety of my family when I pass through some mixed neighborhoods. .” David paused and said, “In China, I don’t worry about these issues. Some of my employees have children studying, and they are all relieved to let their children go home by themselves.”

Yang Yi saw David's anxiety about the country he was usually proud of, and couldn't help but fell silent.

This situation is actually the same in Europe. Under the influence of the refugee reception, the environment abroad is not as good as before, and it is not as many foreigners think, the moon abroad is round.

In contrast, domestic security is indeed much better.

Of course, in terms of social well-being, who is good and who is bad is a matter of opinion.

"But, your hometown is your hometown after all, the place you've been fascinated by. Isn't it?" Yang Yi could only say this to David.

David also figured this out, and saw him smiling brightly: "Yes! Hometown is hometown, no matter what, I also love Sweden, my hometown!"

"Anyway, I also want to congratulate you on your promotion, my friend." Yang Yi smiled.

"Thank you, Yang, if you and your children come to Sweden anytime, you must come to me, and I will take you to taste Swedish coffee and berry pie." David finished his coffee and said goodbye to Yang Yi.

This chapter looks like water, but it is of great significance. No spoilers.
