Are there any activities scheduled for the afternoon?" Xu Suizhu stretched.

Thinking about it warmly, I was sleepy anyway.

"Well, to sign an agreement of friendship with the International Port. ”

This is the most important part of the trip.

Lu Chixiao continued: "However, considering that we have just arrived, we have been given plenty of time to rest, and the signing time of the agreement is scheduled until four o'clock, and we will have dinner after signing. If you want to go shopping, I'll accompany you when you wake up in the afternoon. ”

As soon as he spoke, he made the bed, patted the elastic mattress, and waited for his wife's lunch break.

Maybe she just arrived here, and her schedule hasn't been adjusted yet, so she snuggled in the arms of the big guy, took a shallow nap, and woke up just at the end of her usual lunch break.

Lu Chixiao didn't sleep at all, holding her with one hand and operating the mobile phone with the other, reading the text messages sent by Brother Fu.

It is estimated that his daughter-in-law heard that he had arrived in Colombo, so he came to greet him a few words, and pretended to be envious and teasingly asked whether the local people were unrestrained and whether they were warmly embraced by local beauties......

pulled the corners of his mouth, operated with one hand, and replied: It has been forwarded to your daughter-in-law.

After that, he threw away his mobile phone and ignored the wailing and distress text messages sent by Fu Xiaodi a few seconds later.

"No more sleep?"

He bowed his head and kissed the mother of the child who woke up.

Xu Suizhu tilted her face and accepted the soft, small kiss that fell on his face.

"No, I can't sleep if I continue to lie down, go out for a walk?"

"Hmm. ”

said so, but in fact it was delayed for a quarter of an hour.

After enough kisses, he pulled her up.

After washing, Xu Suizhu changed into the sari dress she bought at the souvenir shop on the first floor of the hotel when she checked in, which is the traditional costume of local women.

There are many colors hanging in the store, and they are all relatively bright.

Li Xiu'e praised Xu Suizhu's white complexion and can control any color, and recommended her to try orange.

Xu Suizhu's usual clothes tend to be small and fresh, and she rarely wears them so glamorous.

I didn't expect the upper body effect to be surprisingly good-

The orange sweetheart neckline sleeveless floor-length skirt and the emerald blue ribbon shawl make her skin fairer and delicate, and her eyes are full of style.

After turning around in front of the mirror, she turned her head and asked Baozi Dad with a smile: "If you put another grain of cinnabar on your forehead, does it look like a beautiful Indian girl?"

Lu Chixiao is still wearing a crisp shirt, ascetic trousers, wearing obsidian cufflinks picked by the child's mother, tilting his head slightly, and smiling lightly: "So, beautiful Indian girl, can the little one have this honor to invite you to a cup of afternoon tea?"

"Accurate!"

After Xu Suizhu finished speaking, he was happy first.

"Not to mention, this skirt is quite comfortable to wear! The silk texture is very good, Professor Fan and Xiaojuan must like it. When you go back, bring one for each of the ladies and dependents, what do you think?"

Lu Chixiao couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: "Follow the customs of the locals, it's okay to wear it here, will you still wear it when you get home?"

"You can wear it as pajamas, and you can wear it at home without a shawl. Xu Suizhu glanced at him with a smile, "I wear it for you in the room, don't you like it?"

“......”

The man touched his nose and stopped squeaking, apparently acquiescing to his wife's romantic proposal.

Sri Lanka was once a colony of many European countries, Colombo is not only the largest city in the country, but also one of the most important halfway ports on the sea route, and the world's largest artificial port was established during the colonial period, which is a microcosm of European countries everywhere.

Because they didn't have a tour guide, the couple didn't plan to go far, and walked along the boulevard outside the hotel.

Through the green shade, the sun is blocked a little hot, and the sea breeze blows on the face, bringing a little coolness.

Locals used to go to the nearby church to pray before the start of work in the afternoon, so at this point, there were few people on the street, and the couple was happy to stroll hand in hand.

Unexpectedly, when you walk out of the street, it is the famous Beira Lake in history.

The lake is quiet and beautiful, with shade trees on both sides, and the aquatic plants around the lake are crowded with wild waterfowl such as pelicans, egrets, and cormorants.

Xu Suizhu picked up the camera and took a lot of photos.

The peaceful and comfortable landscape in front of you was a slave island used to hold slaves before the country became independent.

The imprint of history will not be lost with the passage of time. What exists, always exists.

"Do you want to take a boat?" Lu Chixiao asked.

There were several hand-cranked boats moored on the shore, and the boatmen hid in the shade of the trees and smoked. Seeing that the two of them seemed to be interested in the boat, they stepped forward and asked if they wanted to sit. The price is clearly marked on a piece of cardboard, but there is no such thing as deception.

Xu Suizhu couldn't help but move, and was about to finalize with the boatman, when there was a sudden commotion not far away, at first glance, it was mixed with a familiar native language, and the tone was quite intense, could it be that something happened to a colleague?

The two looked at each other, shook their heads apologetically at the boatman, and hurried towards the commotion.

When they looked closer, it was exactly as they guessed: the members of the expedition came out to play and had trouble.

One of them is still more familiar to Xu Suizhu.

Jin Liping didn't expect that Lu Chixiao and his wife were also nearby, but at this moment, she didn't care about losing face or not, and explained with a blushing face: "I, I just saw that this water temple is quite chic, and I wanted to go in to have a look, but I was stopped by the people in the temple, I couldn't understand what they said, and I didn't let me in anyway." I tried to get my colleagues to take a picture of me outside, but they came up indiscriminately and beat me and dragged me away......"

The "these people" she said were locals, and for some reason, she was very indignant at Jin Liping, muttering the local dialect in her mouth, whether she could understand it or not, she knew that she was scolding people by looking at the posture.

Xu Suizhu tried to communicate with them in English.

Fortunately, although English is not the first official language spoken in Sri Lanka, because it has been a colony, the popularity and usage rate in the upper class and major cities are quite high, and two or three of them understood her words and rushed to answer with a strong accent:

"This woman is disrespectful to the Buddha!"

"Yes, I saw her across the road, she was taking pictures with her back to the Buddha!"

"Dressed like this, I actually want to enter the Buddha Hall!

From the indignant gossip of the locals, Xu Suizhu finally understood the truth.

"This water temple is a practical place for locals to cultivate their minds and pray for blessings, you can go in, but you can't wear it exposed, like me with my arms exposed, Xiaojin's short skirt that shows her calves are not allowed to enter. And one more thing, you are taking pictures at the door without the permission of the temple, and not only that, but you are also taking pictures with your back to the Buddha statue, which is a great disrespect to the Buddha in Sri Lanka......"

After listening to Xu Suizhu's translation, everyone understood the reason why they were almost treated violently, and hurriedly folded their hands to apologize to the locals.

Xu Suizhu also explained kindly that his party did not deliberately violate the taboos of their country, but did not understand, and those who did not know were not guilty, hoping to give themselves a chance to change.
