Chapter 221: I Met My Lover
I like this city very much, I can get a job, many restaurants are recruiting Western chefs, Italian chefs are also very popular, pizza, pasta are very popular, Western restaurant business is also very popular, many young people like to try new things, Chinese young people have accepted Western food, they feel that they try some different flavors, accept different dining cultures, and they also think it is very fashionable. β
ββ"After working in Shanghai for two years, I felt that I could develop in the long term, and I met my current wife here, she is an Italian student who came to study in Shanghai, she is a pastry chef, and I have a common language, she is also willing to stay in Shanghai after graduation to work and settle down, just like I thought, we fell in love, got married, and had a lovely son. β
ββ"It's the right time to come to China, if I hadn't come to China and I had stayed in Italy, maybe I would have found a job, I would have met a girl, I would have gotten married, but if I stayed in Italy, I wouldn't have found a lot of interesting things and I wouldn't have made more friends. β
ββ"After coming to the Middle Ages, I met a lot of Chinese friends, Chinese people are very friendly to me, they like to eat pizza and pasta I make, and often take me to eat Chinese food, appreciate the culture of Chinese food, I like Chinese food very much, Chinese food culture is broad and profound, this big country in the East is really amazing, I fell in love with China, Shanghai is my second hometown, I have made a home here, I plan to live for a long time." β
ββChris took Fang Yun to see his wife, who, like him, had applied for a job as a pastry chef in a western restaurant, and they had a lovely son who was already in kindergarten.
ββ"There is a bilingual kindergarten in Shanghai, the teaching level is still very good, our son can speak three languages, English, Italian, Chinese, we talk to our son in three languages in daily life, after a long time, the child can understand and learn to speak." β
ββ"Time flies, I have been in China for six years, we have been married for five years, our son is four years old, we plan to have another child, there are two children in the family is more lively, we have a total of three children, I am the eldest, I have a younger brother, a younger sister, they are still in Italy, only I come to China to develop. β
ββ"I think my choice is also correct, now our family's economic situation is still okay, I am very satisfied, the income of our husband and wife is still okay, daily expenses can be met, I don't seek to make a fortune, I just need to live a stable life, live an ordinary life, have a family, have my beloved wife and children, a family together is the greatest happiness. β
ββ"Do you often go back to Italy to visit your parents?"
ββ"During the holidays, I took my wife and children back to Italy to visit my parents, my younger brother and sister got married and started their own families and children, and they also brought their family members to visit their parents. β
ββ"I used to be the naughtiest kid in the family, my father used to worry about my employment, they let me sign up for a lot of training courses, I also took a lot of vocational certificates, I learned to be a driver, I learned to be a car mechanic, I learned to be a barber, they just wanted me to learn a skill, and I would rely on this skill to support myself in the future. β
ββ"And I'm a man, and when I start a family, I always have to take on family responsibilities!"
ββ"Being forced by your parents to learn so many skills and take so many certificates, you must have been very confused and painful at that time, right?" Fang Yun asked.
ββ"Yes, young people will have a period of confusion when they don't find their career direction, and I was like this when I was young, rebellious, arrogant, always trying to break out with my own ability, not wanting to stay at home, we Milanese children, staying at home, not going out to work, will be laughed at by the neighbors. β
ββ"People always have to be a little ambitious, although my parents are blue-collar workers, they can support our three siblings with their own labor is already very good, they have done their best, they have fulfilled their parental responsibilities, to help us grow, although I was not born in a rich family, but I am still very grateful to be born in such a family, there is love, there is warmth, when I want to come to China, my father encouraged me and supported me!"
ββHe said that you are responsible for your own choices, since you have chosen the path you want to take, you will do it firmly, he supports me to see the world, to go for a while when I am young, if I can break out, I can find a career I like, I can find my lover, then I will develop, if not, it is a big deal to return to Italy, return to my hometown. β
ββ"I have been working hard for the high hopes of my parents, I came to Shanghai to find a job, become a Western chef, met my wife, and now looking back on my experience, I am still very happy to be here and start a new life. β
ββFang Yun interviewed Chris's wife Laura again.
ββ"How did you meet?
ββ"I remember, I was an international student at that time, I came to Shanghai to study Chinese and pastry making, I came to the western restaurant where Chris worked to eat, ordered pasta and pizza, I am also Italian, I like to eat both foods. β
ββ"After it was served, it was really delicious, since then, I often went to that western restaurant to eat, and also brought my classmates to go with me, after a long time, I met Chris, very coincidentally, he is also Italian, I am also Italian, very common language, we are together, often talk about hometown, feel very close to each other, after graduation, I married him, started a family together, got married and had children. β
ββ"What kind of person is Chris in your eyes?"
ββ"He loves food very much, he has a lot of recipes in his house, all about food, he has his own research on Western food, the recipes he is interested in, there will be excerpts, he takes notes, and cooks for me to eat, I am his loyal customer, after eating, he also asked me to give him suggestions to see what can be improved. β
ββ"I also make cakes for him to eat, we get along very naturally, without any intention, our love is also gradually increasing with the accumulation of time, there are many common topics with each other, two young people always have endless words together, he understands me, I understand him. β
ββ"I came to China to study and met my love, I am so lucky, if I didn't come to China to study, I wouldn't have met my current husband!"
ββLaura leaned on her husband's shoulder and smiled sweetly, and her son ran over and raised the toy in his hand.
ββ"Mom and Dad, look!"
ββ"My plane and my little train!"
ββChris smiled, "My son likes these electric toys very much, I bought them for him in the supermarket in Shanghai, life in Shanghai is really convenient, you can buy anything you want, life is so convenient, the transportation is also very convenient, we are really very satisfied, I hope that life is getting better and better, we can live in Shanghai for a long time, and I also hope that the two countries will cooperate to build the future together!"
