He is David, an international student from Spain, who speaks fluently Chinese and now has his own language training company in Shanghai. She is Yang Yang, a migrant girl who came to Shanghai from Yangzhou, with beautiful black hair and simple and dignified.
Today, the two are parents of two babies. Gather celebrity anecdotes and taste the taste of life. This issue of Ziya Children's Fun World Character Legend leads everyone to know such a small family that combines Chinese and Western.
Murcia is a traditional city in southeastern Spain, now one of the world's top 500 cities, from which our hero David comes. As a child, David came into contact with Chinese films by chance, and since then he has been deeply attracted by the charm spread by ancient oriental culture.
After getting his parents' consent, at the age of 12, he came to China to study. Usually, he would use the weekend to work in a Chinese restaurant, the owner of the restaurant is very enthusiastic, David's trivial troubles in life can be helped by the restaurant owner.
Outside of work, David spends part of his time contacting Chinese, a life that lasts until David is 19. He said that if it were not for the hard practice during that period, he would not have been able to speak Chinese as skillfully as he is now, and he would not have had a future life.
As David stayed longer and longer in China and made more and more Chinese friends, who came from all over the world and had different life histories and personalities, David listened to the legendary stories they said, and occasionally fantasized about his future life.
That year, David met an Inner Mongolian student from Cambridge University, and was attracted by the bold and cheerful personality of the Inner Mongolians, and his comfortable life fascinated David even more. It was once the birthplace of Chinese civilization, and its long-standing culture has made Hohhot more charming.
David loved the clear sky above the city and indulged in the vast grasslands, which strengthened his determination to stay in China.
After graduating, David came to Shanghai and started his own company, mainly responsible for language training. A period of ups and downs has made David's career improve, sometimes he will make some friends on the Internet, and it is at this time that he meets his future wife Yang Yang.
Yang Yang is a Yangzhou girl, with long black hair, good looks, exuding the classical charm unique to girls in southern China, and the first time the two met, they left a deep impression on David. After learning that Yang Yang was also working hard in Shanghai, David immediately launched an offensive.
At first, Yang Yang's parents had some concerns about David, after all, the Spanish man and his daughter had great differences in educational environment and lifestyle, and they did not know much about his other backgrounds, and they were not very optimistic about the marriage.
The two fell in love, despite their parents' objections, insisted on coming together, held a wedding, and gave birth to a lovely daughter named Carmen in 2014.
Due to Yang Yang's own weak physique, the first child was almost difficult to give birth, and David waited outside the delivery room for more than 30 hours that day. Fortunately, this little life still successfully joined the big family, and the birth of Carmen made the family's life fresh and more active.
Yang Yang needed time to take care of his body, so Yang Yang's parents decided to move from Yangzhou to Shanghai to take care of their children's living.
After this traditional Chinese parent and foreign son-in-law live together, they will inevitably face many differences in life. Just on the issue of drinking boiled water or bottled water, David always argued with his father-in-law, who felt that warm boiled water was better for the body, but David felt that the minerals of bottled water were more abundant, and finally due to the intervention of Carmen, the two sides smiled and opened up.
David doesn't like Chinese stir-fry very much, only lion's head, and sometimes when he cooks at home, he will make two more Spanish dishes himself, or simply don't go home to eat. David would often think about how to improve Spanish cuisine and then hand it over to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and every time he looked at the food in front of him, it was only a boiled mixture, and his father-in-law could not arouse his appetite.
Not only in terms of eating habits, David and his father-in-law always had some disagreements over Carmen's upbringing. For his children, he hopes that Carmen can develop good habits at an early age. One day, after lunch, Carmen was a little upset and did not want to take a nap.
Grandpa looked at the child's face a little ugly, very distressed, comforted Carmen as long as obediently sleep for 5 minutes, which made David some mind, he instead felt that Carmen was pretending to be sick, he said that this is because the child found that as long as he showed an uncomfortable state, he could exchange the care and infinite sense of security of the elders.
In the eyes of the older generation, it is absolutely impossible to let the child be wronged in the slightest, and David has some arguments, feeling that he is too strict with such a small child, which is not conducive to the healthy development of the child's body and mind in the future. David insisted that children should develop an independent attitude towards life from an early age, and learn to endure hardships in order to grow into independent people. After the nap, Carmen Jr.'s discomfort subsided a lot, and the dispute between David and his father-in-law was over.
When Little Carmen was two years old, Yang Yang gave birth to a second child, also a beautiful girl, named Elena. Perhaps because David insisted on practicing Pilates with Yang Yang, in recent years, Yang Yang's physical condition has improved significantly compared with before, and the whole process of giving birth to Elena has been very smooth.
One night before giving birth, little Carmen cried and asked Yang Yang to hug her, David saw the child's uneasiness, he comforted, "After that, you will be a sister, and you will learn to take care of your brother/sister with your parents." Carmenton nodded in agreement.
When he first saw his sister, Little Carmen was very happy, but David could see that the child had a feeling of trying to play. He slowly taught Carmen to learn to change Elena's diaper and do what he could. Little Carmen began to look a little clumsy, but gradually adapted to this new role, slowly accepted his sister from the bottom of his heart, and loved her more.
The burden of raising two children makes David more and more busy, Yang Yang is still in the recuperation stage of the confinement, the activities are not very convenient, and the big and small affairs of taking care of the children are Yang Yang's parents. Due to too much work, Yang Yang's mother's body still could not bear it, so she returned to Yangzhou to recuperate her body.
At this time, carmen jr. had just started kindergarten, and the task of sending carmen to school was entrusted to David. David would be an hour early every day, insisting on walking to school with Carmen, and along the way, he would talk and laugh with his children and teach her Spanish from time to time.
He believes that this can improve the child's language level while exercising the child's body, although he himself feels that this will always delay his time to work, sometimes rushing to the company, the whole person is still in a confused state, he will pour a large cup of coffee. "Raising children is like that, it's tiring, but it's happy." When it comes to Carmen, David is still full of relief.
Knowing that the father-in-law and mother-in-law for the sake of the children, these years there is almost no time to enjoy their own life, originally tea tasting, meeting friends, watching the drama of the old age life, now is full of the family's chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea, which makes David's heart a little guilty.
He entrusted his friend to find an old man's mansion in Yangpu District, and he knew that his father-in-law liked Yang opera, so he took the old man here to listen to the Yang Opera Club. Sitting in front of the stage, the two men who usually talk became extremely quiet at this moment, they shook their heads and hummed along with the tune of the song, and the old man seemed to have returned to Yangzhou at once, enjoying the melodious tune.
On the day Elena turned old, the family held a full moon wine in Yangzhou, david performed a Yang opera that he had studied for a long time, and his father-in-law said that it was not very authentic, but his heart was happy to blossom. He knew that this man from the other side of the ocean, in addition to not having an oriental face, but not worse than any Chinese husband, Yang Yang's pregnancy, David is inseparable, afraid that Yang Yang has any discomfort, the child has grown up all these years, he is also the company school running at both ends, never complained.
A Yangzhou minor tune came, and the old man sang along with it, and the trivial little things of the past also drifted farther and farther away with this tune. Do you have any insights about their stories? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section.
