The next heroes of the "Zhubaïlar" section are Azim Arbudu and Takhmina Vundizova from the Chui region.
Takhmina was born in 1999 in Sokuluk, and Azim in 1997 in the village of Aleksandrovka.
"I graduated from the 9th grade, thus obtaining a secondary education. Currently, we live in Aleksandrovka. I met my husband on social media. He immediately confessed his love. At first, he wrote to me on social media, and then he started asking for my phone number. I gave him my number. I liked his appearance, his tall stature, and his character: he is good, kind, understanding, and supportive in everything," Vundizova shared.
The future spouses dated for 4 years and have been married for 6 years.
"My parents reacted normally to my choice. We had a wedding according to our traditions, as we are of Dungan nationality. I really like the Dungan tradition — the wedding lasts 3 days. On the first day, we slaughter a cow and prepare kuurdak, on the second day guests come and we serve beshbarmak, and on the third day we treat everyone to Dungan national soups. At 11 o'clock on the third day, they take the bride away.
I got used to my husband's family because his parents are simple, not strict, and understanding. I don't have much free time. From work to home, and then household chores. Sometimes on weekends we go to a café, visit friends, or I go to my mom's or sister's," Takhmina shared.
The couple has been to the United Kingdom, where they worked for several months.
"We recently returned from abroad. Since you can't earn good money in such a short time in Kyrgyzstan, we decided, like many others, to fly to England for work. We submitted an application and went through registration. We waited for 8 months. In the end, we were selected and left. Our visas were issued separately for some reason, even though we applied together. The visas were for different durations: my husband got 4 months, and I got 6 months. This didn't hinder us, as we were initially told that we would return home to Kyrgyzstan together.
Overall, the work is not that difficult, and you work happily for that salary.
In the first two months, we worked in a greenhouse, picking blueberries. Then we requested a transfer, which was approved, and we worked for a month and a half picking apples. I can say that the labor is worth the money.
We faced challenges: there were tough days, but we managed. We are satisfied with our results. We returned home recently. We plan, if invited, to fly to England for work again, as we liked it. Of course, it’s hard because the children are not nearby. But it's not a problem, as my husband's parents and my parents take care of them," T. Vundizova said.
In the future, Azim and Takhmina plan to earn enough for a house and a car, and to raise their children. They have two children: the older boy is 5 years old, and the younger daughter is 3 years old.
