House Dad’s Literary Life

When the wind chimes at the door rang, Yang Yi was in their exclusive deck, talking and laughing with Mo Fei and Xixi. If it is an ordinary guest, this will not attract their attention.

But Ding Xiang is greeting the guests in English: “good_ morning, what_ an_ i_ do_ for_ you, sir? (Good morning, sir, what are you going to do?)”

It is a school tyrant, Ding Xiang’s English is very fluent, not too nervous to be swallowed, even the pronunciation is very standard. Of course, before Ding Xiang was in the high school of Yanye County in his hometown, he was influenced by the teachers whose own spoken English was not good. Many phonetic pronunciations were inaccurate. It was also after the university that she was able to follow the tapes.

“And foreign guests?” Mo Fei was not surprised by Ding Xiang’s English level. She was curious about the visitor. Yang Yi This coffee shop was originally very remote, at least when she came to the store, she had never seen a foreign guest.

“Occasionally, there are some foreign teachers in the school…” Yang Yi was still explaining to Mo Fei, and the response from the guests stopped him.

“i_ don’t_ know. it’s_ hard_ to_ explain. my_ friend_ told_ me… (I don’t know, don’t know how to explain, my friend told me…)” is Lovisa’s father, David!

He managed to find this coffee shop, but it was not good to confirm whether this coffee shop was the one opened by Yang Yi.

The “Street Corner’s Coffee Shop” on the signboard is the Chinese name. David certainly doesn’t understand it, and Yang Yi only gives him the address, and there is no English name for the coffee shop.

After David came in, he looked around and didn’t see Yang Yi, which made him feel embarrassed.

Yes, Yang Yi’s English name Leon! David tried to use this name to ask Ding Xiang, but Ding Xiang knows where Yang Yi’s English name is this? When the two men were in trouble, Yang Yi finally came out to help them out.

“David, are you here?” Yang Yi smiled and walked out of his deck, followed by a small tail behind his butt.

Xixi heard that Lovisa’s father came, thinking that Lovisa would follow him and he would happily come out behind Dad. However, after the little girl ran out, she looked left and looked at it. She didn’t see the back of her partner. Suddenly, the little girl’s face was closed with a big smile. She was a little depressed and some Looking at adults inexplicably.

David saw that Yang Yi was very happy. The troubles and troubles of finding a coffee shop were gone. After he had been chilling with Yang Yi for a while, he said that he would try Yang Yi’s delicious grind. coffee.

“He gave it to me, the father of a friend of Xixi Kindergarten, I know. You go to other things.” Yang Yi and David now basically use Swedish to communicate, just to exercise their own spoken language, he told David After a few words, he nodded to Ding Xiang next to him.

David is a guest, and he is also a friend of Yang Yi’s Coffee. So, Yang Yi came to the bar and took out the special Mandheling coffee beans that he had entered last month. He personally gave David a coffee and coffee.

“This coffee bean is good, Mandheling? I haven’t seen this scent, like caramel, but it’s more special than normal. It’s very rich.” David took a piece of coffee beans and smelled it. He couldn’t help but marvel. Road.

The coffee beans that I bought were praised by coffee lovers, and Yang Yi was also proud of it and smiled smugly.

“Uncle David.” Xixi finally couldn’t help it. She got into the bar, hugged Dad’s leg, leaned on Dad’s waist, leaned on her small head, and screamed with courage.

“Hello, xixi.” David bowed his head and said hello to Xixi.

Little girl didn’t talk anymore. She pulled her father’s clothes and whispered, “Papa, you, can you help me ask Uncle David? Why didn’t Lovisa come?”

“You can ask for yourself!” Yang Yi encouraged.

“But, but I don’t know how to say it.” Xixi was a little anxious, pulling his father’s clothes and shaking it.

“You can ask Uncle David, ‘Where is Lovisa?'” The last sentence Yang Yi used was Swedish. In fact, Yang Yi had taught Xixi’s similar sentence pronunciation, but Xixi still didn’t know how to make a difference.

David listened to Yang Yi’s just now. Although he couldn’t understand the conversation between the father and the daughter, he could probably guess Xixi’s intention.

Xixi repeated a whisper, but she felt that she was not doing well. Talking to Uncle David, you can’t communicate with Lovisa so easily. You can do whatever you want with your little friends. It’s nothing to say wrong. But with adults talking in their own unskilled language, Xixi doesn’t have the courage.

“Papa, you help me!” Xixi pouts said, grievances.

“Lovisa is at home, she didn’t come with me.” David was reluctant to see the little girl, and he replied proactively.

Xixi blinked and some could not understand.

David repeated it in English.

Xixi’s English is better than Sweden, this time she understands. Little girl is disappointed to lower her head, she thought she could play with her little friends!

“I am sorry, I don’t know if you are in the coffee shop. I should bring Lovisa over. She also wants to come out, but I didn’t know if it was appropriate to bring her out.” David apologized with Xixi in English. Said, looking at the look of the little girl, David always felt that he had done something bad thing, letting the little girl be wronged!

“It’s okay. Xixi, come over, don’t bother you Papa, wait until kindergarten, you and Lovisa can still play!” Mo Fei didn’t know when it came out, she waved to Xixi and smiled with David.

“This is my wife, Mo Fei.” Yang Yi introduced David to his wife.

After a few chats, Mo Fei went back to the deck with the disappointed Xixi, and left Yang Yi to entertain guests.

After the coffee was cooked, David drank hot. He smelled the coffee and scented it. He took a sip and was full of praise.

“I see Ding to make coffee for other guests. Although it is not this cup, it is very special, but I am very careful. Leon, you are right. Your coffee shop is really good, even some street cafes in Sweden. The coffee is good!” David was moved.

Starting from the coffee, Yang Yi chatted with David and went to the north. Fortunately, Yang Yi has a wide range of knowledge and has no obstacles to chat with the customs of David.

“You should come to Sweden to play, Sweden is also a beautiful country, we are not just cities, but also beautiful forests, coasts…” David said to Yang Yi.

“And Ale Stonehenge!” Yang Yi pointed at David, and they both laughed.

Finally, I still have to talk about the child. Although David is not a qualified house-dad, it is just a bad cook. He still puts a lot of energy into taking care of the children.

“I find it very strange that you, as a corporate executive, how can you spend so much time with your child?” Yang Yi asked inexplicably.

“In fact, our managers, like ordinary employees, are on time to go to work on time. Unless it is very urgent and very important, I will not spend my time with my family at work! This is not right, and it It won’t bring me a lot of income,” David explained.

It turned out that because of the high tax rate, the real income of his high-income class was lowered a lot, not much higher than the average employee. There must be a difference, but it is only a few times the gap, not the huge gap between the domestic thousand and the millions of annual salary!

However, at such a high tax rate, David is at a loss: “This is normal. The more taxes I give, the more benefits I get, and this is a guarantee for the future of our children and the country.”

The system of each country is different. It can’t be said who is good or who is bad. Only the one that suits you is the best! High-tax and high-welfare policies are also not suitable for China’s national conditions. After all, high-welfare and wealth-free people are not seen in certain industries.

Yang Yi has no interest in politics. He is interested in David’s way of educating children.

“You said that you will accompany Lovisa every night?” Yang Yi asked curiously.

“Yes, at least half an hour.” David sighed and said, “I have communicated with some Chinese employees. They didn’t read Qiyue with their children, which surprised me.”

“Do you know? This is a very important parent-child moment! Please imagine that half an hour before going to bed, the child is in the arms of the parents like the kitten, and then we read the book under the warm lamp, how warm is this? When they grow up, they will be very happy when they think of this memory!” David described the scene with a smile.

Yang Yi does not deny the happiness of such a scene, but he is equally happy to tell Xixii stories!

“But can they understand the words?” Yang Yi frowned and said, “Is reading for the children of this age a little too far beyond their ability? Like me, I am Tell Xixi a story, she is very happy listening to these stories.”
