Early in the morning of August 9, Mary came to China as scheduled.

According to the email she sent earlier, Hu Yiting asked Tong Mu to pick her up at the airport.

Tong Mu learned to drive with Hu Yiting's driver for a week in the summer, and then successfully got a driver's license, but was dissuaded by Hu Yiting, so he didn't have time to buy a car.

This is because Hu Yiting felt that she was really not proficient in driving, so he first got a Santana 2000 from the company for her to practice.

This white Santana 2000 was just bought by Chongguang in the first half of the year, but it has already run 20,000 kilometers in less than half a year, which can be described as young but long-tested......

Today, Tong Mu came to the airport to pick up Mary, early in the morning was not smooth, first from the downstairs of the community when the car was reversed, the rear bumper on the edge of the flower bed wiped a mark, Tong Mu was in a hurry, and when he went out of the community, he hit the steering wheel early, and scraped a long strip with blue-green sap on the rear door with a street tree.

After experiencing two "tribulations", Tong Mu got on the road in a panic, drove to the airport at a turtle speed with trepidation, and then immediately called Hu Yiting to complain about his grievances, and Hu Yiting naturally comforted her with kind words.

Through the sign held by Tong Mu, Mary quickly found her home in the crowd of pick-ups, and after a warm hug with Tong Mu, she kept trying to chat from the airport.

After getting into the car, Tong Mu became nervous and asked her in English to "hen-i-drive, U-don't-speak, go-to-my-home, then-U-can-talk." "It means that you shut up when I drive, and you beep again when you get to my house.

Mary understood, and praised Tong Mu's good English, and then Grandma Liu opened her eyes all the way into the Grand View Garden to inspect the appearance of the northern city outside the car window.

Tong Mu's driving style from the end to the end was exactly what Mary wanted, and she took out her camera in the smooth and slow car and captured more than a dozen street scenes along the way.

The temperature in the northern capital is very high in August, the cement slabs on the sidewalks are exposed to white light, and it is very stable to drive home, Tong Mu has felt sweaty after getting off the car, and then he found that he forgot to turn on the air conditioner along the way.

Locked the car and took Mary into the apartment, Tong Mu turned on the air conditioner, gave her a bottle of Coke, poured a glass of cold water from the carafe, and called Hu Yiting after drinking half a cup and said that he had received someone.

Then the two girls stumbled and communicated in simple English for a morning, and they officially became friends, and after Mary asked for Tong Mu's consent, she played a paragraph on the piano and showed off a little.

It turned out that Mary had also learned the piano when she was a child, so that the two could talk about more topics, but Tong Mu could not fully understand all of Mary's words, so she had to open the dictionary from time to time for Mary to look it up and point it to herself.

At noon, Tong Mu took Mary out to eat fried noodles, and said bluntly that his driving skills were too poor for several scars on the car.

Mary said: "I can also drive, I have a driver's license, but I don't know if it can be used in China." ”

So after eating, Tong Mu deliberately found a traffic police officer on the side of the road, and the answer he got was that he could apply for a 90-day temporary driver's license at the DMV with his passport and foreign driver's license, but he needed a photo and a form.

Tong Mu thought that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so it was better to accompany Mary to get a driver's license, so that after she and Hu Yiting went to Hushan, Mary could go out to play alone in Beidu, after all, the language barrier is a problem for taking the bus and subway.

Mary was very grateful for Tong Mu's kindness, so the two girls were busy at the DMV in the afternoon to apply for a temporary driver's license, and finally after doing it, Tong Mu took Mary to the vegetable market to hang out, bought all kinds of fresh and cooked vegetables, and when she went home, it was almost time to eat.

When Hu Yiting came home from work, he saw the two girls busy in the kitchen, and after greeting Mary, he was warmly hugged by her.

"You've really become a big girl, you weren't as tall as me in England, and now you're taller than me. ”

Mary said bluntly: "No, you are growing too slowly, I am now five feet ten inches tall barefoot, your sister Tong Mu is about an inch shorter than me, and you are half an inch shorter than her." ”

"That's because you women have high heels! I'm as tall as the shepherd!"

Mary stuck out her foot: "We are all wearing slippers. Then he struck a fatal blow to Hu Yiting again: "You are at least one centimeter shorter than Tong Mu." ”

Hu Yiting was depressed, he couldn't wait to kick this British girl to death, and he hurriedly wanted to go into the kitchen to help with an embarrassed face, but was kicked out by Tong Mu.

Mary seemed to realize that she was a little rude, and after entering the kitchen, she turned out again, and said to Hu Yiting with a smile: "Although some people say that the age of a woman and the height of a man are taboo, I don't think so, Hu Yiting, you are very attractive, you must know that all European ladies love Napoleon." ”

Hu Yiting touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "I'm much taller than that Corsican kid! In addition, I'm still young! Sooner or later I will be taller than you!"

Mary opened her mouth and smiled: "You care too much, maybe I shouldn't talk about this topic, I apologize to you, but Hu Yiting, it's time for you to exercise, your stomach is round." ”

Hu Yiting couldn't wait to throw the sofa pillow on her golden head: "These are abdominal muscles, you stupid girl." ”

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Mary smiled and went back to the kitchen.

was stirred up by Mary like this, Hu Yiting's mood became depressed again, seeing that the sumptuous dishes were ready to be served, and he was about to start the feast, so after Tong Mu finally brought out the soup, he hugged her and kissed her fiercely.

Mary was watching from the sidelines a little silly.

Tong Mu shyly pushed Hu Yiting away, and after sitting down, he explained to Mary: "I have no blood relationship with Hu Yiting. ”

Mary suddenly realized: "I see. ”

Hu Yiting took out a bottle of Moutai and opened it, and said bluntly: "Tong Mu is my fiancée." ”

As he spoke, he took out a pot-bellied red wine glass and poured it for Mary: "Our Chinese habit is to entertain visitors from afar, and to use the best wine, guests must drink three glasses. ”

Mary nodded stupidly, took a big sip from her glass, and then looked like a cat that had been stepped on, grinning and "hissing" for breath.

"This wine...... I've drunk vodka, but it's not so strong......! My stomach is burning, oh my God!"

Hu Yiting was secretly happy in his heart, with a serious face, and looked at Mary seriously: "You didn't finish drinking! I thought you regarded me as a friend!"

Mary apologized with a mournful face, "Oh! I'm sorry!" and immediately raised her glass and drank it.

Hu Yiting said happily: "Great! Next is the second cup!"

Tong Mu was a little slow to respond to English, and it wasn't until Hu Yiting filled the second cup that he pondered the meaning, hurriedly snatched the wine glass, and said to Mary: "He's joking with you, don't listen to him, you're my guest." ”

Mary then realized that she had been deceived, but instead of laughing angrily, she covered her mouth and laughed for a while.

"You're not already drunk, are you?"

"I didn't, but since I've already drunk it, you should have a drink too. Mary looked sly, "That's fair, and like you said, it's fantastic, like the best thirty-year-old Scotch whisky." ”

Hu Yiting hurriedly said: "This wine is too expensive, I usually only use it to entertain distinguished guests, and I am always reluctant to drink more, well......mm"

Tong Mu laughed and trembled, "You have to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot." ”

Mary asked Ming Tong Mu what he meant, and said with a smile: "In your Chinese words, it is no-ind, no-ave, no wind and no waves." Drink, smart fellow!"

As she spoke, she picked up the wine bottle and poured Hu Yiting's shallow glass into a full cup.

Hu Yiting looked at Tong Mu with a sad face: "Wife, if I finish drinking, I will have to lie down." ”

Tong Mu pretended to be calm and said: "Drink, I'll make your bed, drink and go to sleep." ”

Hu Yiting was very embarrassed by the two, so he had to pick up the cup and pour it, and after drinking, he saw the two applauding.

Then he blushed, ate some food, and went back to his room to sleep, and slept until dawn.
