Lu Weisha did not come to school for several days in a row. The kindergarten teacher only told other concerned children that Lu Weisha had not returned home yet, so this situation lasted for a week.
A new Monday arrived. Yang Yi sent Xi Xi to kindergarten. When he was about to walk out of the gate of Springfield Kindergarten, he finally saw a familiar figure.
David! He was standing beside his car, looking at the kindergarten's teaching building, and his gaze fell on the location of the upper class.
"David!" Yang Yi greeted him with a smile.
Yang Yi spoke Swedish, and he had a lot of topics to talk about with him. It could be said that Yang Yi was one of David's closest friends in China. When he saw Yang Yi, David was also very happy. The two of them exchanged greetings in Swedish on the side of the road.
"You and Lu Weisha went back to Sweden for a long time. Xi Xi missed you so much. She was talking to me last weekend. When will Lu Weisha come back? I can only tell her that she will be back soon. "Yang Yi 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 Xi Xi … Hey, this lovely little girl is Lu Weisha's best friend in China … "
In Yang Yi's surprised eyes, David told Yang Yi about the changes in his work and the subsequent arrangements for Lu Weisha's life and study.
It turned out that they came back so late because David needed to go through some procedures at the Swedish headquarters of Wall Motors. Originally, David did not intend to bring Lu Weisha back to China because Marya would not come back. She would stay in Sweden to help David take care of his life after he came back. However, Lu Weisha missed Xi Xi and the others, so she had to say goodbye to her good friends.
"… Lu Weisha couldn't bear to leave her friends and cried in Sweden for a few days. I could only bring her here so that she could play with her friends for a few more days. When I'm done handing over my work at the end of the month, we have to go home. In the future, Lu Weisha will also need to go to primary school in Sweden." David sighed.
By the end of the month? It was already late April, and there was only one week left …
"I can understand. After all, your hometown is Sweden." Yang Yi gently patted David's shoulder and said calmly, "It's okay. Even if they are halfway across the globe, I believe they will still remember this friendship and the joy of the past year."
Having said that, Yang Yi could imagine how sad Xi Xi would be when she found out about this!
Xi Xi was a girl who valued relationships a lot. It could be seen from the way she kept talking about writing to Lu Weisha when she was traveling in Australia.
Compared to his daughter, Yang Yi felt a little ashamed. When he treated friendship, he was actually a little indifferent. Especially when he got along with David, he completely interpreted the old saying, "The friendship between gentlemen is as indifferent as water."
Hearing the news that David, his friend, was leaving, his heart did not waver. He was only more concerned about how sad Xi Xi would be.
"Would you like a cup of coffee?" Yang Yi felt that he should learn from his daughter and invited David.
David had just returned to China, and now was the time to hand over his duties. He was not in a hurry to go back to work, so he gladly accepted the invitation.
…
It was the same coffee shop on the corner.
Ding Xiang and Guo Ziyi had already returned from Shanghai before the Qingming Festival. Now, Ding Xiang was at the bar with Sugar Cube, taking care of the shop's business.
"Which one of you can move aside for me?" Yang Yi shrugged and smiled. "I'll make a cup of coffee for David."
The space in the bar was limited. It was okay for two people, but it would be very crowded with three people.
Ding Xiang was the one who was familiar with Yang Yi's habits. She took out Yang Yi's treasured coffee beans from the counter, then walked out with a smile.
Sugar Cube was also quite clever. She quickly wiped the table with a rag and helped take out the coffee grinder, saying, "Boss, I'll help you!"
It did not take long to grind two cups of coffee. After a while, Yang Yi and David held the coffee and leaned against the bar, drinking and chatting.
Sugar Cube watched for a while, then went to Ding Xiang and whispered to her, "Sister Ding Xiang, what is the boss talking about with that foreigner? It doesn't sound like English! "
"That's David, a Swedish. Brother Yang should be speaking Swedish with him." Ding Xiang looked up and smiled.
"The boss can speak Swedish?" Sugar Cube clicked her tongue. "Didn't the news say that the boss sang English songs a few days ago? How does he know so many things? "
"That's why he's the boss!" Ding Xiang smiled and pinched Sugar Cube's face. She said, "Stop gossiping and work hard. One day, you'll be as good as the boss!"
…
At first, Yang Yi only talked about coffee with David. As they chatted, David, who was a little sentimental, sighed with emotion.
"Although most of the coffee shops in China sell terrible coffee, it's different here. Moreover, I can drink the best coffee here. In fact, many things are the same. When I first came to China, I felt that I couldn't adapt to everything. But gradually, I found that I liked the life in China. Just as I got used to it, I had to leave again. "
Yang Yi smiled slightly. "That's right. China is a magical country. It has rich and beautiful scenery, more than five thousand years of culture, and strong, tolerant, and friendly Chinese people. The more you understand it, the easier it will be for you to like it. "
"My friend, there's one thing you missed out!" David laughed. "It's very safe in China! Did you know? My bicycle was once stolen. Two days later, the police helped me find it. I found it hard to believe. "
"…" Yang Yi was speechless. In fact, he wanted to tell David, "That's because you're a foreigner!"
David was in high spirits. He continued, "It's different in Sweden. We took in a lot of refugees from war-torn countries. Although we saved their lives out of kindness, it's difficult to mix different cultures. It often causes social conflicts."
"Moreover, guns are controlled in China, but not in Sweden. To be honest, when I go back to Sweden, I want to send Lu Weisha to a proper school, but I'm still worried about the safety of my family when I pass through some mixed neighborhoods." David paused and said, "In China, I'm not worried about these problems. Some of my employees' children are studying, and they let their children go home on their own."
Yang Yi could see David's anxiety about the country he was usually proud of. He could not help but fall silent.
This situation was the same in Europe. Under the influence of refugees, the environment abroad was not as good as before. It was not like what many people who worshipped foreign things thought, that the moon was round abroad.
In contrast, the public security in China was much better.
Of course, in terms of social welfare, who was good and who was bad, it was a matter of opinion.
"But, home is home after all. It's the place you dream of. Isn't it? "Yang Yi could only say this to David.
David had also figured this out. He smiled brightly and said, "Yes! Home is home. No matter what, I still love Sweden, my hometown! "
"No matter what, I'd like to congratulate you on your promotion, my friend," Yang Yi said with a smile.
"Thank you, Yang. If you and your children come to Sweden to play, you must look for me. I'll take you to try Swedish coffee and berry pie." David drank his coffee and said goodbye to Yang Yi.
