274 English Dinner

When Lu Li came out of the police/police station, the four young men were still recording statements, but the situation was really not good, they passed the buck to each other, and blamed each other for fighting in the car, which caused the car to lose its direction and hit the rear of Catherine's car. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info was originally just the responsibility of the driver for drunk driving, but now all four people have been dragged into the water, and it is not known how things will develop.

However, no matter how it develops, it has nothing to do with Lu Li.

Hulala, a figure walked up the steps quickly and rushed straight over, Lu Li and the others hurriedly got out of the way, and the man hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, it's rude." Then he moved on and entered the police station.

"Catherine, do you need us to send you back? Or would it be better to call a taxi for you?" Lu Li asked with concern, Catherine's car had been towed to the repair shop, and it was naturally inconvenient to go home without a means of transportation.

Without waiting for Catherine to answer, Tony preemptively said, "Let's send you back." It's been a long day, and what you need most now is a good rest. ”

Brandon also nodded in affirmation next to him.

Catherine smiled kindly, "I think you should come to my house for dinner." Seeing the polite smile on Lu Li's face, Catherine knew what they were going to say, and she preemptively said, "I'm sorry for you to accompany me all day today, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to deal with it." At the very least, I can invite you to dinner. What's more, it's the dinner rush hour, and you don't have a restaurant reservation, so it's hard to find a place to eat. ”

The three of them exchanged glances, but they wanted to refuse. The main thing is still worried about Catherine, today is obviously not a good time to come to the door, Catherine had better go back and rest than continue to entertain them.

"Mom, Mom. There was a shout behind him, interrupting Lu Li's communication, and then he saw the fiery figure just now, and rushed out eagerly again, looking at the backs of Lu Li and the others, and kept shouting, the picture was really a little joyful.

"I'm here. Catherine raised her right hand and waved.

Lu Li and the three of them were stunned, turned around, and got out of the way, and the man stepped forward with an arrow, stood in front of Catherine, and kept looking up and down, "Are you okay? What the hell is going on? Why did the police say that you were in a car accident? Shouldn't you go to the hospital? Why didn't you call me, how are you feeling now? Is there anything uncomfortable? Let's go to the hospital now to check it out." ”

The worried words, like machine guns, crackled and strafed, and the neutral voice echoed in the hall at the door, so lively.

"I'm fine, the doctor has checked and confirmed that I'm okay, and then I came here to record a statement and explain the situation. Catherine was unhurried, and said word for word, "Thanks to these three young men, they were there and helped a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to do." ”

As she spoke, Catherine made an introduction, "This is my son, Richard. ”

Richard turned around, his temples were a little gray, he looked older than Lu Huaijin, with a square face, as well as the iconic receding hairline of the rotten countrymen, and a slightly small belly, but on the whole, he was still relatively sturdy, and he didn't look like an office worker sitting in the office.

"Thank you, thank you so much. Richard shook hands with each of them, introduced himself, and then sincerely thanked him, "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do." ”

"I just invited them home for dinner, but they were a little hesitant. Today they stayed with me all day, chatting with me, watching horse races with me, and being stuck with me all day. Catherine teased with a smile.

"Obviously, you explained it to us...... Tony was about to defend himself, but was cut off by Richard's voice like a bell, "I sincerely invite you to my house. Not only because of the gratitude, but also because of the welcome, our family is the most hospitable, welcoming guests from different places. Now that you and my mother have become friends, aren't you going to get to know her family?"

Seeing that Richard's sincere, straightforward style was very similar to those neighbors around the ranch, Brandon and Tony both turned their heads to look at Lu Li at the same time, leaving the decision to him, and then Catherine and Richard's eyes also fell on Lu Li's shoulders at the same time.

This made Lu Li stunned, here, he was the only "alien population", and now it was left to him to make decisions, even Richard, who had just met, seemed to take all this for granted. Lu Li smiled dumbly.

Nodding, Lu Li expressed his affirmation, "This is our honor." Then he saw Catherine smile widely, "To be honest, this is my first time in the UK, and it's great to be able to make local friends." ”

"Of course, of course. Richard patted his chest heartily, then turned back again and looked intently at Catherine, "Are you sure we don't go to the hospital for a full check-up?"

Catherine patted Richard's arm, "Don't worry, I'm more positive than you if I'm not feeling well." The ridiculous words made Lu Li and the others laugh, Richard scratched his head, laughed awkwardly twice, and then changed the topic, "Did you drive here?" or ......" After getting an affirmative answer, "Then you can follow behind our car, it's not far from here, and it's only fifteen minutes away by car." I'm going to give Angel a call, and she's going to be happy. ”

Lu Li and his party followed behind Richard's car and left the police/police station, at this time the sky had basically darkened, only a residual halo lingered in the sky, Liverpool was lit up with the unique humidity and coolness of the port city, and the streets of the city were filled with a special tranquility, and the faint noise made the night more wonderful.

The car stopped on a quiet street, and there was a parking space next to the street, which was really rare. It looks like a secluded neighborhood of life, surrounded by sporadic lights that hold up the night, vaguely outlining the manicured garden, the boxy little mailbox, the iron railings entwined by creepers, and the big red wooden doors.

This is the kind of small family that can be seen on the TV series, a typical British middle-class family. A two-story house is home to a large family of four or five, with a small garden in the backyard where friends are invited over for a barbecue on weekends.

Richard opened the door and watched intently as Catherine walked into the house, then raised his head and said enthusiastically, "Welcome, welcome, come in quickly." ”

Lu Li walked up the steps, and before he could enter the room, a brisk woman's voice came from inside, "Catherine, is that you?"

Then a woman in an apron walked out quickly, she looked like a red apple, with round cheeks, a round figure, long dark brown hair tied high in the shape of a horsewhip, and some broken hair left next to her cheeks, it could be seen that she was simply dressed, but not grand.

"Katherine, are you alright?" the woman stepped forward and gave Catherine a big hug, "God, it's great to see you're okay." ”

"I'm fine. Angel. Catherine also hugged the woman in front of her, and then said with a smile, "Thanks to these young men, otherwise today's situation would not be so easy to solve." ”

"Oh, good evening, and welcome to Kelly's house, I'm Richard's wife, Angel. Angel walked up, Catherine's surname was Kelly, and the name was written on the mailbox at the door, "The house is a little messy, I haven't had time to tidy it up, I hope you don't mind." She always had a warm smile on her face.

It's not the same as the Londoners.

The houses in Britain are relatively narrow, and there is not much room for movement in the narrow corridor at the door, and the two people standing side by side are about to get stuck, Lu Li's footsteps can't be moved, and Tony and Brandon behind are also stuck in traffic, Richard is standing next to the hanger at the door, and the big man seems to be a little unable to move.

Angel noticed the detail, "Look at me, quick, come in." It's not good to be crowded here at the door. ”

"Sorry, it all happened too quickly and so suddenly, we didn't have time to buy gifts. Lu Li knew that it was a very rude act to go to other people's homes empty-handed, and they didn't have time to buy gifts temporarily. Luckily, their suitcase was still in the back of the car, which contained wine bought from France.

Not those top wines from Château Romanée-Conti, but wines that were later purchased in Paris.

These wines are naturally not as good as Romanée-Conti, but the important thing is that they are varied, and Tony simply selects one or two representative bottles of wines from different wineries and different regions, and prepares to taste them slowly along the way. Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy today.

"God, you brought gifts. Angel sighed and said, "Well, let's open this bottle of wine tonight, what does it go well with?beef?mutton?seafood?"

"Steak. Lu Li said dryly, "If it opens tonight, we can also tell its story, Tony is a winemaker." That's a good excuse to avoid embarrassment, isn't it?"

The little teasing made Angel and Richard both laugh, "It just so happens that we have steak tonight." ”

Tony and Brandon both cast surprised glances at Lu Li, and Richard noticed, "What's wrong?

Tony laughed, "No, on the way over just now, we made a bet on what the menu for dinner would be, and Fourteen guessed it right." ”

Richard and Angel were stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond - if they guessed correctly, whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, or Lu Li added next to him, "The two of them guessed fish and chips." ”
