Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 71 The Enthusiastic Foreigner
What is life?
Hundreds of gestures, thousands of people answer.

For the poor, life is a bottle of vinegar.

Drink it into your mouth, it is sour, put it on the fire and heat it, um, even the air will be sour...

For Wei Ping'an, the charm of life lies in chance.

There is nothing new in a step-by-step life, looking for bright spots in the ordinary, and touching occasional fun in ordinary days.

That's the beauty of resort-style living.

For example, Wei Ping'an can take a bath today and then go home to enjoy his wife's hot kang head.

Well, he doesn't have kids yet.

However, being run over by Director Li of the rolling mill, and turning his face openly, made him feel uncomfortable.

A mature man will not bring bad mood into the home, because it will affect his closest family members.

The reason why many people are immature is because they give their good looks and patience to outsiders and neglect their families.

After all, it is not leaders and colleagues who can accompany you for life.

Wei Ping'an is relatively mature, so he plans to use shopping to vent his anger.

Like lesbians.

Cure all diseases.

A cotton coat also heals.

Because the behavior of the old lady of Zhou Dajun's family caring for her grandson was super healing for Wei Ping'an.

But the beauty of life is that it doesn't go as smoothly as you planned.

So he met a group of foreigners who didn't have translators and didn't understand Chinese.

He rescued a salesman named Li Lu who was unable to save himself and was roasted on the fire.

Wei Ping'an still didn't know that Li Lu was the eldest sister of a group of girls in the army compound, and he didn't know that she was not a salesperson but a manager of the clothing department.

"This friend wants two sets, one that he can wear and one that is smaller, and he wants to take it home as a gift for his brother..."

"These two friends want this...and this...size...yes, this is it..."

Wei Pingan played the role of translator and resolved the further deterioration of the incident.

And his translation is very good, he abandons the rigid and rigorous translation, not only can complete the communication and business between the two parties, but also bring a very relaxed atmosphere to each other.

For example, Ferdinand, who was so impatient just now that he almost jumped into a rage, felt that communicating with the young man in front of him was much better than communicating with the interpreter of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This is an amazing kid.

Literally an angel sent by God to rescue them with their shopping trip.

Looking at his relaxed appearance, he is not just a master of English.

Because of some colloquial words and "dialects" blurted out due to excitement, I can also answer the conversation easily.

Let’s talk about Elliott. He was born in Louisiana, and when he was in a hurry, he would pop out the “local dialect” that would confuse even his colleagues. However, this strange local young man in front of him could answer the questions fluently, without any stagnation or delay in communication. obstacle.

If he hadn't looked at him with his eyes open, he might even suspect that this was Elliott's fellow villager.

You must know that even though he has known Elliott for several years, Ferdinand sometimes cannot understand the expressions of his colleagues and friends.

"Hey, buddy, you can actually speak the dialect of my hometown, are you an international student at Tulane University? Then we are still alumni..."

"I haven't been to Tulane University, but I know some French with an Acadian accent. Because you are similar to Sichuan in our country, I have some impressions."

"Dude, can you understand what I'm saying?"

At this time, Elliott's real fellow and classmate came out.

He was a tall young man with slightly curly dark brown hair, he approached him with interest and asked.

Wei Ping'an is proficient in many foreign languages ​​distributed by the system, and he can tell that the young man's words have shadows of French and Spanish, and there are some African indigenous languages, and he can also deduce a general idea.

"Hi, are you a Creole? ​​Nice to meet you. My name is Wei Pingan."

Wei Pingan held out his hand.

"Hello, I'm so surprised that you can understand my native dialect and speak... I would never believe that you didn't study at Tulane University. Also, my name is Dominique , is Elliott's college classmate."

"Hello, Elliott, as you expected, wearing this padded jacket is very resistant to beatings."

This is what Elliott said to his friend Liam just now, jokingly explaining the purpose of this bloated padded jacket.

"Haha, nice to meet you, friend. Really nice."

While Li Lu was busy searching for suitable clothes from behind the shelves, she secretly listened to the skillful conversation between the young man outside the counter and the foreigner.

I couldn't help but think of the blind date recommended by my grandma last night.

Compare and judge.

Originally, I was a little hesitant to think about it. I was perfunctory and perfunctory with this group of old men and women who almost took pleasure in it. Now I have the comparison of strange youths...

Li Lu shivered inexplicably.

Too embarrassed.

My dear grandma, it's really not that she doesn't cooperate, it's that she can't bear it seriously.

The outside seemed to be a temporary international friend exchange meeting.

Wei Pingan also knew the identities of several foreigners from the communication.

It has been nine years since the country was established, and there has been no shortage of international support.

For example, equipment assistance from Germany (Germany is also divided into East Germany and West Germany), technical assistance from Big Brother, and support from international friends.

From the war to the civil war, to the development after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many international friends have witnessed it one by one.

Among them was such an American journalist friend.

This time she came to the capital in spring, and it was also the sixth time she came to this land, and she chose to settle here.

And as an American, friends from their country are naturally indispensable, as well as juniors who are also journalists, or juniors in the industry.

Now is the eve of the National Day, and 70 countries have been invited to participate in the National Day celebration, which is very grand.

With the channel of Anna, several foreign friends met here together.

It was originally planned that Anna would take them shopping today, but suddenly received a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the travel plan did not come true.

A few young people couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted to be a bit of a surprise, so they didn't ask the embassy to bring an interpreter, and they came here with great interest.

He also planned to buy some special products recklessly and go back to surprise Anna.

I didn't expect to get a blow from the beginning.

Fortunately, I met Wei Pingan.

Wei Ping'an's mood also improved after seeing the foreign youths who were still silly and cheerful after being frustrated.

Well, laxatives are still required, and they have been exchanged for melting into pigs, which remains the same.

It doesn't affect chatting with a group of foreigners who don't have a city mansion.

"Comrade, thank you, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

After finishing the whole transaction, Li Lu said gratefully.

"It's okay, I just met, if it were someone else, they would stand up."

"Which unit do you belong to? I will write a thank you letter later and send it to your unit."

"Ah, this... I am Wei Pingan from the third workshop of the Red Star Rolling Mill."

Wei Pingan still thought about saying you're welcome, but after thinking about it, he didn't take notes, and it's not his style to do good deeds without leaving a name.

It's not something shameful. It doesn't matter if you don't have a thank you letter or something. Since there is one, Wei Ping'an is happy with it.

Li Lu's eyes were a little strange.

She thought that the young man in front of her was a young teacher from some university, or a staff member of a research institute who had returned from overseas, but she did not expect to be a workshop worker in an ordinary rolling mill.

Accidents are accidents, but I have no intention of contempt.

She doesn't even know a foreign language. Now that she has been "educated" in a real way, she is quite restrained if she doesn't look up to her. How could she despise her.

If it's not a heartbeat, there is no excuse for a letter of introduction.

It's not for the purpose of inquiring about the other party's information, so the address is obtained.

As the saying goes, a monk can't run away from the temple if he runs away. This kind of thing like hugging grass on the surface but actually shooting rabbits, has Li Lu done less since she was a child?

joke.

Her nickname of Sister Xiaolu is not just for nothing, okay?
