"I have a friend who will take the oath of naturalization tomorrow, so I rushed back first. Have you had lunch? I'm still hungry." Hong Tao walked to Old Gale's kitchen and took a look. In addition to bacon and fish steaks, these days
The Indians eat meat every meal, and it makes me a little nauseous to see these things.
"I haven't eaten either. Just in time, you can make something for us to eat together." There were two sandwiches on Old Gale's table. When he saw Hong Tao entering the kitchen, he picked them up and threw them into the trash can.
"What can we cook if we don't have any food? I don't have any over there, so why don't you come here to make some for me?" Hong Tao really didn't want to cook. His arm wasn't healed yet, and his wrist hurt whenever he held heavy objects.
"That's okay. I'll drive you to the market. Let's have Chinese food at noon, and then buy some ingredients. You can cook it in the evening." Old Gale is now keen on Chinese food and Chinese tea. Hong Tao and Boss Liu are not here these days.
, his greedy temper almost flowed to his beard.
Facing such a shameless old man, Hong Tao had no idea. After forcing Old Gale to agree to treat him to lunch, the two of them drove towards the Chinese district of Toronto.
On the way, Hong Tao asked Old Gale about Zhou Xiaoli's whereabouts, but the old man didn't know the specific situation. He just said that he hadn't seen Zhou Xiaoli driving to work since yesterday morning. Since Old Gale didn't know Zhou Xiaoli's whereabouts either
, Hong Tao stopped asking, and the two of them had a rough meal at a Northeast dumpling restaurant in Chinatown, and then spent more than an hour buying a lot of vegetables, fish and raw meat in the market.
That night, Hong Tao, with all the pain in his body, managed to make three hot dishes and one cold dish. He also took it upon himself to open a bottle of Moutai that Boss Liu had put in the wine cabinet, and drank happily with Old Gale.
Gale was really enjoying himself now, eating a lot of food and drinking a lot of wine.
The two of them ate up all the dishes and drank a whole bottle of white wine in a hurry. The most valuable thing is that after living with Boss Liu these days, Old Gale has exercised, and the amount of white wine has increased rapidly. Now he can actually compete with Hong Tao.
A lot of effort and not falling behind.
When I woke up in the morning, another damn phone call woke up Hong Tao. Zhou Dajiang and his wife had come over a long time ago. When they called Hong Tao, they had already arrived at the door of Zhou Xiaoli's house. When Hong Tao saw this formation, he thought, don't do it.
I wasted no time, so I quickly washed up and put on my suit, but without a tie. I didn’t mean not to wear one, I really didn’t have one, it would be troublesome to buy it temporarily, and Hong Tao didn’t think not wearing a tie was rude, so he just went with it.
Zhou Dajiang wore a new black suit. His hair was obviously newly cut and combed meticulously. His serious expression was a little nervous. Those who didn't know it thought he was going to run for governor. Zhou Dajiang's wife
She is not so nervous anymore. She has been through this before and knows that this is just a formality.
Hong Tao couldn't understand Zhou Dajiang's mood at this time. He had never experienced such a moment. How many people could experience abandoning themselves in the first half of their lives and then accepting a new one in the second half of their lives, so it was understandable to be nervous.
Excusable.
"Hong Tao, since last night, I have had the urge to back down. I always feel that it is unreal. I suddenly changed my nationality, so this thing is invisible and intangible. But it is always stuck in my heart." Zhou Dajiang said.
In the car, he turned around and said to Hong Tao, who was sitting in the back seat, that looking at his serious look, it seemed that Hong Tao was fooling him, so he had to give up naturalization.
"Don't think so much. You will get used to it after changing a few times. One day you can no longer survive here and apply for Chinese nationality. Then it won't be so troublesome. At least you don't have to worry about the language. You said
Right?" Hong Tao couldn't think of anything to say to comfort him, so he could only use nonsense to liven up the atmosphere.
"Old Zhou, don't listen to Hong Tao's nonsense. Aren't you very good? You can do the job you like right away. How many new immigrants come and have to start from temporary jobs. Just be content." Zhou Dajiang said
My wife is indeed a lab worker. She talks about everything without being subtle.
The place where the naturalization is sworn in is right in the city center. It looks very ordinary, with quite large windows and a very small door. The doors are not open yet, so Hong Tao and the others arrived early.
Not only did Hong Tao and the others arrive early, a lot of people had gathered at the door. Most of the men were wearing crisp suits, and most of the women were wearing dresses. Even the children were neatly dressed, and the expressions on their faces were basically very excited.
.
Hong Tao was a jobber and couldn't fit into this atmosphere. Zhou Dajiang and his wife went to line up, and he leaned against the telephone pole alone and watched coldly.
After watching for a while, Hong Tao found that among the more than 30 people queuing up, there were particularly many families of three, accounting for almost 70%, and their family composition was very special. The mother and children were basically Chinese, and the father
Both sides are white.
These foreign fathers and their children were having a great time, and there was no barrier at all, while their mothers looked at them happily. It was obvious that these white people accompanied their wives and children to take the oath.
There is another phenomenon that particularly puzzles Hong Tao. Among these couples of three, there are several couples. The woman is obviously older than the man, and she is not the kind who still has charm. She is not even ordinary-looking. But these white people
But he seems to care about them very much, taking care of them in every possible way like a treasure.
Hong Tao is the kind of boss who doesn't rub sand in his eyes. If he has questions in his heart, he must find ways to figure them out. So he called Zhou Dajiang's wife out of the team, walked a little away from the crowd, and then put all the questions in his heart out.
The question was expressed.
"Hahaha... It seems that I am not the only one who feels this way. To be honest, I also discovered this problem when I first came here. Later, I asked many colleagues before I figured it out." After listening to Hong Tao, Zhou Dajiang's wife
question and laughed.
"What's going on?" When Hong Tao heard this, he knew he had the right person to ask.
After some explanations from Zhou Dajiang's wife, plus Hong Tao's own understanding, he finally figured out why these foreigners have such unique tastes. The main reason is that their living habits and living environment have different aesthetic views. Many of us think they are ugly.
, but they are extremely beautiful in their eyes. In addition, they don’t value appearance very much. What they really value is a woman’s figure.
This can be seen from the mothers in the team. Most of them are women with average or even lower looks, but very slender and slender figures. It may be because European and American women have relatively large frames, although they appear to be in front.
The erect buttocks are delicious, but that's from our perspective. In their eyes, they probably prefer the small and exquisite figure of East Asian women. As the saying goes, whatever you lack is what you like.
Hong Tao deeply agrees with the aesthetic views of these foreigners. Their aesthetics reflect their pragmatism spirit. No matter how beautiful they are, they can't be seen in the dark at night, but if they are in good shape, it is different, no matter during the day or during the day.
Even at night, it can bring people a beautiful feeling. These foreigners are really crazy, they can think of all this!
There is another important factor, and that is children, which is different from ours in China. In China, if a woman is divorced and has a child, it is much more difficult to get remarried than to be single. But here, it is most difficult for a woman to get married again.
The most popular among the locals are single mothers with children. If you can take care of three children, congratulations, someone will introduce you to a boyfriend every day.
The local white people here like children very much. To what extent? They don’t care about blood relations. It doesn’t matter if they have children of their own. The more the merrier. Anyway, their wages are high, and if you raise a few children, you will get subsidies from the government, even if you don’t have them.
With a high income, raising several children will not put much financial pressure on them. In their view, children can bring great happiness to the family.
Many of these Chinese women came to Canada with their families to make a career in the world. However, when they first arrived here, due to language and cultural reasons, it was difficult to find a job, and the family's financial situation was not good. This caused a divorce crisis. In fact,
On the Internet, the divorce rate of Chinese couples who immigrate to Canada is very high. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
