Chapter 209: Naturalization Ceremony

"I have a friend who is going to take the oath of naturalization tomorrow, so I'm rushing back first, have you had lunch?" I'm still hungry. Hong Tao walked to Old Gael's kitchen and looked at it, except for the bacon is fish steak, where are the Indians in the past few days, there is a ton of meat and meat, and he is a little sick to his stomach when he sees these things.

"I didn't eat it either, just right, you make some and we'll eat together." Old Gale had 2 sandwiches on his desk, but when he saw Hong Tao enter the kitchen, he picked them up and threw them in the trash.

"I don't have anything to do with the food, and I don't have it over there, so I'm not going to rub some of it here." Hong Tao really didn't want to cook, his arm was not healed, and his wrist hurt when he held a heavy object.

"That's fine, I'll drive you to the market, let's go to eat Chinese food at noon, then buy some ingredients and come back, and you can do it again in the evening." Old Gail is now keen on Chinese food and Chinese tea, and these days Hong Tao and Boss Liu are not there, and his greedy hara is almost flowing to his beard.

Faced with such a skinless and faceless old man, Hong Tao had no choice, and after forcing Old Gail to agree to treat him for lunch, the two of them drove to the Chinese area of Duolun City.

On the way, Hong Tao knocked on the side and asked Old Gail about Zhou Xiaoli's whereabouts, but the old man didn't know the specific situation of Lu Dao, but said that he hadn't seen Zhou Xiaoli drive to work since yesterday morning. Since Old Gail didn't know Zhou Xiaoli's whereabouts, Hong Tao didn't inquire, and the two of them rubbed together in a Northeast dumpling restaurant in Chinatown, and then spent more than 1 hour buying a lot of vegetables, fish and raw meat in the market.

That night, Hong Tao made 3 hot dishes and one cold dish with a lot of pain, and took it upon himself to open a bottle of Moutai liquor that Boss Liu put in the wine cabinet, and drank happily with Old Gale. Old Gale can be regarded as having opened the meat now, eating vegetables and drinking in large bowls.

The two of them ate all the dishes and drank a whole bottle of liquor. The most valuable thing is that Old Gail has been exercising after living with Boss Liu these days, and the amount of liquor has risen rapidly. Now he can actually fight against Hong Tao, and he will not fall behind.

When I got up in the morning, it was another damn phone call that woke up Hong Tao, Zhou Dajiang and his wife had already run over, and they had already arrived at Zhou Xiaoli's door when they called Hong Tao. Hong Tao looked at this formation, yes, don't rub it in, hurry up and wash it, put on his suit, but he didn't wear a tie. It's not that I didn't want to fight, it's really not, it's troublesome to buy temporarily, and Hong Tao didn't think it was rude not to wear a tie, so let's go.

Zhou Dajiang wore a new black suit, his hair was obviously newly cut, meticulously combed, and his serious expression was still a little nervous. Zhou Dajiang's wife was not so nervous. She is from the past, and she knows that this is a passing scene.

Hong Tao couldn't understand Zhou Dajiang's mood at this time, he hadn't experienced this kind of moment, how many people could experience this kind of abandonment of the first half of their lives. And then I accept a new second half of my life, so it's understandable to be a little nervous.

"Hong Tao, since last night, I have had an urge to retreat. I always felt unreal, and suddenly changed nationality, so I can't see or touch this thing. But it's always stuck in my heart. Zhou Dajiang turned around in the car and said to Hong Tao, who was sitting in the back seat, looking at that serious look, it seemed that Hong Tao was fooling him, and he had to give up his naturalization.

"Don't think about it so much, change it a few times and get used to it, one day you won't be able to mix it up here, and then apply for Chinese nationality, then it won't be so troublesome, at least you don't have to worry about the language, you say yes." Hong Tao couldn't think of any words to comfort him, so he could only use nonsense to enliven the atmosphere.

"Lao Zhou, don't listen to Hong Tao's nonsense, aren't you very good, you will be able to do the job you like to do soon, how many new immigrants have to start as a temporary worker, be content." Zhou Dajiang's wife is worthy of being a mixed laboratory, and she has one thing to say, and she is by no means subtle.

The place where the oath of citizenship was taken was in the center of the city, the appearance was very ordinary, the windows were quite large, the door was very small, and it hadn't opened yet, Hong Tao and they came early.

Not only did Hong Tao and them come early, but at this time there were already a lot of people gathered at the door, most of the men were wearing straight suits, most of the women were wearing dresses, and even the children were dressed neatly, and the expressions on their faces were basically very excited.

Hong Tao belongs to soy sauce and can't fit into this atmosphere, Zhou Dajiang and his family went to line up, he leaned on the telephone pole alone, and watched coldly.

After looking at it for a while, Hong Tao found that among the more than 30 people in line, there were particularly many families of three, accounting for more than 70%, and their family members were very special, the mother and child were basically Chinese, and the father was white.

These foreign fathers and children were having a good time, and there was no estrangement at all, while the mother was watching them happily from the side. Obviously, these white men were accompanied by their wives and children to take the oath.

There is also a phenomenon that particularly makes Hong Tao wonder, in these families of three, there are several couples, the woman is obviously older than the man, and it is not the kind that still has charm, and it is not even an ordinary appearance. But these white people seem to care about them very much, and they are cared for like a baby.

Hong Tao is the kind of master who doesn't rub sand in his eyes, and he has to find out every way if he has doubts in his heart, so he called Zhou Dajiang's wife out of the team, walked a little away from the crowd, and then said the doubts in his heart.

"Hehehe...... It seems that I am not the only one who feels this way, and to be honest, I found out about this problem when I first came, and then I asked a lot of colleagues before I figured it out. Zhou Dajiang's wife also laughed after listening to Hong Tao's question.

"What the hell is going on?" When Hong Tao heard this, there was a door, and he asked the right person.

After Zhou Dajiang's wife's explanation, coupled with Hong Tao's own understanding, he finally figured out what kind of taste these foreigners have such a unique taste, and the main reason is that the aesthetic views caused by living habits and living environment are different. Many of the looks that we think are ugly are extremely beautiful in their eyes, and in addition, they don't pay much attention to their appearance, what they really value is the woman's figure

This can be seen from the mothers in the team, most of them are the kind of women who are average or even lower, but have a very slender and slender body. It may be due to the fact that European and American women have relatively large skeletons, although they look like they have a lot of taste in front and back, but from our point of view, it is estimated that in their eyes, they prefer the small and delicate figure of East Asian women. As the saying goes, what is lacking is what you like.

For the aesthetic views of these foreigners, Hong Tao deeply agrees, their aesthetics reflect their pragmatist spirit, no matter how beautiful they look, they can't see a black light at night, but if they are in good shape, it's different, no matter day or night, they can bring people a feeling of beauty, these foreigners are real Nima thieves, this can come up with!

There is another important factor, and that is children, which is also different from ours in China. In China, if a woman is divorced and has a child, it is much more difficult to remarry than to be single. But here, the most popular among locals are single mothers with children, and if you can bring 3 children, congratulations, someone will introduce you to a boyfriend every day.

The local white people here are very fond of children, to what extent? They don't care about blood relations, it doesn't matter if they have children or not, the more the merrier, anyway, their salaries are high, and raising a few children will also get government subsidies, even if you don't have a high income, raising a few children will not have too much financial pressure. In their opinion, children can bring great happiness to the family.

Many of these Chinese women came to Canada as a family, but when they first arrived here, due to language and cultural reasons, it was difficult to find a job, and the family's economic situation was not good, which caused a divorce crisis. (To be continued......)
