Chapter 619: Windfall
Li Xu followed the prestige, and a little Hungarian girl selling flowers appeared in front of him, about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed very plainly, with short hair, a small soft hat and hat, and a basket on her arm, in which a few roses were placed. ,
Her eyes were large, with a timid expression, and she looked quite nervous.
I wanted to say a few words to send him away, but after a few careful looks, Li Xu's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"How much is a rose?" he asked with a smile.
However, the girl who sold the flowers did not react and looked at him blankly.
Raising an eyebrow, he reacted, and immediately smiled and slowly repeated it in English.
"II...... Twenty forints, sir!" said the flower girl, and a hint of joy flashed across her face.
"Twenty forints? It's almost a dollar. Li Xu smiled and looked at her with interest.
"You...... You and this young lady ...... Very...... Very well matched...... "The little girl who understood this time was even more happy, and immediately stammered and stammered.
"How old are you?" Li Xu was not in a hurry and asked about other topics.
"Ten...... Fourteen years old. The little girl replied.
"Why don't you go to school?"
"Let it go...... It's a holiday. ”
"So, what's your name?"
"I ......" The little girl showed an alert look and was about to leave, but Li Xu took out a ten-dollar bill and shook it in front of her.
"I want to know a little bit about Budapest, can you talk to me a little bit?" he said with a smile.
"Edward......" Isabel called out from the side.
Li Xu shook his head at her, and then said to the hesitant little girl: "Don't worry, I'm not a spy, I'm just asking about some daily life, after all, it's my first time in Budapest." ”
Then he added: "If you feel that the question is sensitive and that the answer will cause you trouble, you can leave it unanswered." ”
Looking at the ten-dollar bill, the little girl finally nodded, and then Li Xu took the ten dollars back, took out two five-dollar bills, and put one of them in the little girl's hand: "What's your name?"
"Rosa, Rosa Caracciolo. The little girl immediately replied happily, ignoring nothing.
"Where did you learn English?"
"I ...... What I learned from my teachers...... ...... with tourists Communication...... Practice ......"
"How long have you been selling flowers?"
"Just take a vacation...... will come out...... Make money ......"
"Do you watch a movie?"
After asking seven or eight questions, Li Xu asked with a smile: "Do you want to go to the UK, Rosa?"
The little girl showed an alert look again and took a step back, but Li Xu didn't care, and continued to ask, "Are you interested in learning acting?"
And while asking, he took out the magazine from his bag and shook it in front of the little girl: "Look at the woman on the cover." ”
Then he pointed to Isabel next to him: "Look at her again." ”
Rosa looked at the cover very obediently, then at Isabel, then at the cover, and then at Isabel, showing an incredulous gaze, followed by a hint of joy, but still looked at Li Xu worriedly.
"If you want, we will go to the British embassy now. Li Xu said lightly, "Anyway, you don't have any memories of the family here, do you?"
This little girl's English is not very good, and she is stumbling in communication, but with the charm of green paper, Li Xu still came up with some words just now. For example, the family conditions are not good, such as the parents divorced and followed the mother, such as the mother who raised her, etc., which is very consistent with the experience of another time and space.
Although there is not much information about her in the 80s in another time and space, if it weren't for the bad situation at home, with her experience of participating in the first Miss Hungarian beauty pageant, she would not have fallen to the point of going to the sea.
"You...... Is it true?" Rosa was finally tempted, no wonder she was easily hooked, which ordinary person here in Eastern Europe didn't want to go to Western Europe?
This is similar to the mainland girl who wants to go to the United States, she always thinks that she can live a good life by going, and I have to say that the socialist countries have lost a lot in the propaganda war.
"I ...... I'll ...... her" The little girl then pointed to Isabel, well, after all, it was a child who had sold flowers on the street, and there was still some caution in this.
"Let's go, then. Li Xu looked at Isabel with a smile and changed into French, "I'll leave it to you to take care of for the time being, Isa." ”
After calling the driver and car and going all the way to the British Embassy, Li Xu met and communicated with the ambassador, and then asked Rosa Caracciolo to go through the formalities - don't care if she is underage, the ambassador has a bit of a friendship with the Spencer family, and it is currently during the Cold War.
It was only at this time that Isabel asked in private, "What bad idea are you playing again?"
"Why is it a bad idea?" Li Xu asked with a smile, "Why can't it be a good idea?"
"I've never asked, but I know what you've done!" Isabel glared at him.
"Don't you think she looks like a person?" Li Xu kept smiling.
"Like a person?" said Isabel, puzzled.
"It doesn't matter, you'll understand when a big ship starts sailing in ten years' time. Li Xu laughed, "This windfall is just right, and the old and the young are just right." ”
Isabel didn't understand at all, but didn't intend to fool him: "So you had something in mind from the beginning. ”
"It's a deal, Isha, I gave her what she wanted, and she was going to trade it for what I wanted. Li Xu shrugged, "Everything can be traded, and no one doesn't ask for anything in return." ”
"Are you also a deal with your parents, do your parents ask you in return?" asked Isabel immediately, her anger lit up again.
"Of course," Li Xu shrugged again, "my parents gave me life, and I have to pass on their DNA or a part of my life, and this is the biggest deal between parents and children." ”
Isabel opened her mouth, her face turned pale with anger, but before she could refute it, Li Xu's leisurely voice sounded hateful again: "Haven't you noticed yet, you made the same mistake, Isa." ”
"What...... What same mistake?" Isabel was stunned.
"Do you remember, what did I say when we were discussing the role of actors?" Li Xu reminded.
Isabel frowned and thought for a long time, then her face became a little ugly: "You mean...... The least important thing about the actors is only relative to the director and the people behind the scenes, not to the film itself. ”
"Finally, your memory is fine, and you've learned a lesson. Li Xu laughed, and then continued before Isabel showed an expression that wanted to bite: "When I was talking about the transaction between parents and children just now, did you ever say that this is the only connection between parents and children? ”
