非洲姑娘舟山筑愛巢

這是一次特殊的婚紗攝影，新郎叫阿平，舟山定海鹽倉人，黃皮膚；新娘叫莎莎，非洲埃塞俄比亞人，黑皮膚。

這是一次簡單的婚紗攝影，沒有過多的背景、服裝，新娘只是化了個淡妝，披上雪白的婚紗，新郎脫下外套，換上休閑西裝，在溫馨的小屋里，帶上11個月大的孩子，幸福撒滿屋子。

他們的愛情，跨過了四分之一個地球周長，兩大洲，簡單而又不平凡。

2005年，在遙遠(yuǎn)的埃塞俄比亞，那是一個美女如云的地方，被譽為非洲的“美女之國”，阿平遇到了一個淺黑皮膚的女孩，牙齒潔白，明眸如水，渾身上下散發(fā)著陽光少女的清純與古國文化的典雅。對這個美麗的埃國姑娘，阿平一見鐘情。他想方設(shè)法，把女孩雇到了身邊當(dāng)手下。之后，30多歲的他，與20歲不到的她，擦出情感火花，戀愛了。

4年后，阿平離開了那個遙遠(yuǎn)的國度和那個妙齡少女，回到了家鄉(xiāng)。本想這段情緣就此了斷，沒想到幾個月后，非洲女孩為了愛，義無反顧地尋他而來，阿平激動得幾日未合眼，早早去廣州機場接他未來的新娘。兩人在定海當(dāng)?shù)卣橐鰴C構(gòu)登記結(jié)婚。后來，他們的女兒呱呱墜地……

相識6年，看著自己的妻子，阿平的眼里依舊滿是寵愛。去哪里都愛帶著莎莎，總想著她缺什么，陪她去買衣服、手機，幫她找家鄉(xiāng)的零食，穿什么都夸她漂亮。來到中國后，一到冬天，非洲姑娘莎莎的手腳就會冰冷，阿平充當(dāng)了天然熱水袋，一有空，總喜歡握著她的手，給她溫暖；當(dāng)初結(jié)婚時，沒有拍婚紗照，阿平本不愿再去折騰，但看到她嘟起了嘴，立馬答應(yīng)她……也許生活沒有想象中的美好，磕磕碰碰在所難免。莎莎曾經(jīng)負(fù)氣離開過，想永遠(yuǎn)離開，最終，她又一次回來了。她說，那一段日子度日如年，她思念阿平，放心不下女兒，惦記待她如女兒的公公婆婆?；貋頃r，所有人都只說了句：回家了，就好。

莎莎的性格開朗，待人隨和，拍婚紗照那天，鄰居們聞訊而來，教她動作，給她指導(dǎo)，看她不理解攝影師的意思時，大家一起跟著急了起來，還有人主動上去，輕輕幫了她一下，莎莎立馬調(diào)皮地做了個鬼臉，微笑著說了句“謝謝儂”，露出潔白的牙齒，眼睛成了月牙形。身邊的寶貝女兒撲閃著大大的眼睛，搖晃著小腦袋，看著這一切，發(fā)現(xiàn)爸爸摟著美麗的媽媽，咯咯咯地笑，伸出雙手，也要進入攝影師的視線。

“最后一張了哦，店里還有事情要忙呢！”自從阿平開了家副食品店后，莎莎的生活又多了個重心，每天忙忙碌碌地穿梭在貨架之間，算賬、配貨，跟著顧客、鄰居學(xué)點舟山話，生活很充實。閑暇時，夫妻倆最喜歡坐下來，聊聊天，阿平用自己不熟練的埃塞俄比亞本土語言與莎莎交流，解解她的鄉(xiāng)愁。有時，還會手把手教她寫中國字，談笑間，雙目對視，一笑，兩人的臉上寫滿了幸福。

問起他們，現(xiàn)在的生活滿足嗎？

阿平說，不夠，他要教莎莎普通話，要繼續(xù)奮斗，要給莎莎過更好的生活，帶她去看看外面的世界。

莎莎說，她不追求什么，能與阿平、女兒和美地生活在一起，這樣很溫暖，很好。□

A Happy Mixed Marriage in Zhoushan

Text by Fu Yanjun， Photography by Chen Bingqun

Ping fell in love with the Ethiopian girl at first sight. It was in 2005. The Chinese man in his 30s was in Ethiopia. Sasha was in her early 20s. He was bewitched by her bright eyes. So he pulled strings and finally had the girl in his employment in his business there. A romance started between the two. Half a year later， Ping came back to China and Sasha returned to her hometown. Ping thought the romance was over forever. A few months later， he was excited to learn Sasha would like to join him in China.

Ping was sleepless for a few nights. Then he went to Guangzhou to meet his would-be bride at the airport. Ping brought the girl back to Dinghai， the main island of Zhoushan Archipelago in Zhejiang Province. They registered their marriage with the local civil affairs bureau and officially got married.

Their son came into this world. The marriage has been sweet and yet bumpy over the past six years. The husband and wife now run a food store. Sasha helps her husband look after the business. And she is slowly picking up the local dialect from patrons and neighbors. When they are not working， they now and then speak a local language of Ethiopia， which Ping speaks brokenly. Now and then Ping teaches Sasha to write Chinese characters.

Sasha feels happy， though once or twice she felt so frustrated that she wanted to go back to Ethiopia and stay there forever. She did leave once. But she came back. She missed her son and missed her parents in law. When she came back， she was greeted calmly by everybody as if she had never left.

When their son was 11 months old， Ping and Sasha decided to have their wedding photos. They did not have ceremonious photos when they got married. Ping and Sasha got dressed as bride and bridegroom. Neighbors came. They helped her pose， helped her adjust the white bridal gown. They got worried when they found Sasha did not understand the photographer’s instruction.

Are they happy? Yes. Ping is not completely content with the status quo. He plans to teach Sasha to speak mandarin. He wants to work harder and give Sasha a better life. He wants to travel with her and see the world. Sasha is contented. She enjoys her life with Ping and their child. She thinks life is warm-hearted and good. □
