Chapter 425: Couple's Night Talk
"Once a teacher, always a father" is definitely a good saying, reflecting the traditional Chinese virtue of "respecting teachers and honoring morality." Walter used his limited Chinese skills to express his goodwill in front of Xiao Peng.
But this sentence really scared Xiao Peng. After all, he and Felix's mother had a "beyond-friendship relationship", and he didn't want to become a father one day.
That's really "getting it all done in one go"! He had a son and a daughter right off the bat, and the daughter is about the same age as him...
It makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.
Did Walter and Kasim see Elizabeth that day? This question troubled Xiao Peng like Schrödinger's cat, but he didn't dare to ask...
He decisively changed the topic to food. The white sausages made by Diane tasted so good!
This white sausage is a traditional Bavarian delicacy, and Diane is a Bavarian who married here. The white sausage she makes is really authentic!
This white sausage is made with a mixture of veal and pickled pork in a white casing. It's seasoned with parsley, cardamom, nutmeg, shallots, soy sauce, onions, and, of course, lemon. In fact, in Bavaria, this white sausage is eaten for breakfast, and the local saying goes, "Sausages shouldn't hear church bells at noon." But since this isn't Bavaria, it's okay to eat it now. The sausage is served in a large bowl of boiled water to keep it warm. It's served with the casing removed and dipped in the local sweet mustard sauce. It has a delicious sweet taste.
Although the weather outside was bad, the atmosphere in the room was quite harmonious. After dinner, Xiao Peng and Fabian played the game console under Tom's guidance. Walter called Kasin to arrange some work, and then he and Diane went to bed early.
Diane told Tom a few words like "go to bed early" and then returned to the bedroom with Walter.
He wasn't feeling any 'reunion', but was preparing to drive tomorrow.
"Walter, your boss is such an easy-going person!" Diane sighed as she lay beside Walter, "I thought your work over there was very hard, and it looks like the working environment would be very relaxed. I thought you were very tired going abroad and at sea, but now I feel relaxed. I thought it was difficult to get along with the Chinese."
Walter said, "Diane, don't worry about me. There's no problem with my work. The real Chinese are very different from what we know from the media. By the way, I told my boss about your immigration to Marseille, and he agreed to help me. This way, we can be reunited as a family. Anyway, we all have no problem speaking French, so going to Marseille is also good! We can buy a house with the money the boss gave us this time."
"Wouldn't that be too stressful for you?" Diane said, "I can find something to do over there. Oh, I have a German teaching qualification, so I could become a teacher. I could also do my old secretarial work."
Walter said, "Let's go ahead and talk about this later. You've seen how good my boss's personality is. As long as we do our jobs well, he treats us as family. And the boss is very generous. If I work with him for a few more years, I can probably earn enough money for Tom to receive a better education. If Tom can be like the boss in the future, I will wake up laughing in my dreams."
"Who wouldn't want to work for a boss like that?" Diane said. "I want to work for him, too."
Walter shook his head. "I'd like you to go too, but we already have a chef and an assistant at home. My boss isn't the kind of person who wants to spend his money lavishly, so he doesn't have many service staff at home. He always says 'one job for each person, one position'. Who wouldn't want to keep working in such an environment? Forget it, let's rest first. If anything comes up, we can deal with it after we immigrate to France."
"Well, that's the only way." Diane nodded.
Walter suddenly lowered his voice: “The boss said ‘A short separation is better than a new marriage’…”
“Stop it!” Diane pushed Walter’s hand away: “There will be plenty of opportunities when I go to France!”
Walter nodded and said, "To be honest, I've already contacted a real estate agent. There's a really nice house in La Ciotat, right where my boss lives. Why don't we go to France together after we're done and show you around? But my boss has been thinking about moving lately... so I'm quite conflicted. Forget it, let's go look at houses together first. I really don't want to be separated from you. Besides, a child's education is crucial. Look at my boss, then look at Tom. My boss once told me about an ancient story in his country called 'Mencius's Mother Moved Three Times,' which means how important a child's growing environment is to their future. Just like my boss, although his parents passed away early, he has always lived with his grandfather and has ingrained many of the fine qualities of the Chinese elders. He even gave Tom a very strict education when he found a refugee child. Having Tom live there will be great benefits to his growth. Anyway, I have the money to expand the company further, and our lives can only get better and better!"
"You can handle this matter. By the way, how is things going at your company?" Diane asked.
Walter said: "It has always been Bruch who has been handling those matters."
Diane frowned after hearing this and said, "Walter, how could you give it to Bruch? Even if it was given to Khedira, it would be fine. You know I have never had a good impression of Bruch. He is sometimes too selfish!"
But Walter said: “We have known each other for so many years, and it’s not the first day I knew about his problems.”
Diane shook her head. "Honestly, if he wasn't your friend, I wouldn't care about him. He's always acting like 'you all should help me'. He doesn't have much ability, but he's so ambitious. I think you'll get him killed one day!"
"Diane, stop talking!" Walter said, "How could he kill me? I don't understand why you don't like Bruch so much?"
Diane said, "Have you forgotten that he asked you to borrow money to help him pay off his gambling debts?"
"How long has it been since this happened? He even returned the money to me!" Walter said.
Diane continued, "But you guys went to work while he went to pick up girls. If your boss wasn't so considerate, you might be out of a job now!"
Walter choked, and after a while he said: "Dear, we haven't seen each other for so long, why do we always quarrel every time Bruch is mentioned!"
"Who wants to argue with you?" Diane stepped aside and said, "Go to sleep! If you can't sleep, go watch over Tom and don't let him play too late!"
Just as Walter was about to answer, the phone on the bedside rang. He frowned more and more until he hung up the phone.
"Dear, what happened?"
After Walter put down the phone, he picked up a cigarette: “I’m afraid our move will have to be delayed!”
