Chapter 246: Small Differences
The first time his parents came to Paris, Fang Yi would not bury his head in painting during the day anyway, but took two relatives to visit Paris together, but Fang Yi was also the first time to visit Paris, and he did the work of a tour guide badly. Usually you stop at the attraction and then you are: Mom and Dad, this is the Eiffel Tower. Mom and Dad, this is a triumphal arch or something, and there is no historical background at all.
Having said that, this can't be blamed on Fang Yi, Fang Yi himself doesn't know how to explain it to his parents. It wasn't until Beronica returned from Spain a few days later that the situation improved dramatically. At each scenic spot, Beronica will introduce the history of some places of interest to Fang Guohua and Yu Qin in detail, or the special historical events that happened in these places.
Travel, naturally, it is indispensable to take some photos, this thing Fang Yi is also good at, the family has left photos in almost all famous attractions in Paris, what Versailles, Champs-ΓlysΓ©es and the like are naturally also in the directory of tours.
For a whole week and a half, during the day, Fang Yi and Beronica, the young couple, accompanied Fang Guohua and Yu Qin to Paris.
Naturally, Beronica left a very good impression on Fang Guohua and Yu Qin.
"Xiaoyi! Come here, Mom has something to say to you! Yu Qin and Belonica finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks together, took off their aprons and said to Fang Yi, and turned around and walked towards their own house after speaking.
Fang Yi followed his mother into the room and asked casually: "Mom, you have to say something secretly, you can't understand it even if you say it directly!" βγ
"Xiaobei doesn't like the dishes I make, I only ate one or two vegetarian dishes in the past two days. I didn't move much braised pork or anything like that, it all went into your stomach! Yu Qin asked her son: "Such a big man can eat such a small meal at a time, his body can't stand it." If you want me to tell you to persuade Xiaobei to eat more, the child is a little too thin! βγ
Fang Yi smiled and said, "She is not used to eating Chinese food for such a long time, there is too much oil!" It's good to eat one or two meals like this once in a while, but she can't stand it often. Didn't I tell you to put less oil in a few side dishes you cooked, just do this. When you and my dad weren't here, we would just mix some raw vegetables or something and add some salad dressing! βγ
Yu Qin pursed her lips when she heard this: "It's all raw, can it be delicious." I don't have much appetite for that thing! "Yu Qin has seen the vegetable salad made by Beronica, that thing is really not very acceptable to ordinary Chinese people, the dishes are all raw. Just cut and mix and add a few things and eat.
"You don't have anything to do, why are you doing this! I'm going to go out of the house if there's nothing to do? After Fang Yi finished speaking, he wanted to turn around.
Yu Qin immediately took her son's hand: "We are leaving the day after tomorrow, Xiaobei, this child has been with us for so long, and it is very hard, I want to give her some gifts when I leave!" What do you think would be a good gift? βγ
Fang Yi thought for a few minutes: "I really don't know what she lacks!" βγ The two now live together. There's really nothing missing. Everything is there.
Yu Qin thought for a while and said, "Why don't you buy some jewelry or clothes or something!" βγ
"That's fine! Tomorrow you go with Beronica! Fang Yi listened to his mother's words and nodded, then took out his wallet from his pocket and took out his card: "Take this, the password is my birthday!" βγ
"I've got money!" Yu Qin pushed away her son's card and said, "Your father and I have all the money we have!" You don't have to pay for these things! βγ
"Take it!" Fang Yi slapped the card on his mother's hand: "I don't need to go to the bank to exchange my card, and besides, I haven't bought these things for Beronica until now!" βγ
"It's good!" Yu Qin put away her son's card and said.
After the mother and son finished discussing, Fang Yi turned around and walked out of the room. In the evening, Fang Yi told Belonica about this matter, and asked her to pick whatever she liked.
The next morning, Beronica took Yu Qin to Crazy Street together. As for the issue of communication, a few sentences are enough anyway. For example, how about this, how about that, yes or no also have to deal with it.
When his mother and girlfriend went to the street, Fang Yi and his father sat next to the TV and chatted while watching TV. I thought there was nothing to do with my mother and girlfriend, so I bought something, so I bought it when I saw it! Who knew that there was still something wrong with the road.
"Son! Xiaobei can't see anything well! Yu Qin said to her son on the phone: "Some of them I look good at, and it seems that she likes them too, but she has always been NO, NO, I don't know!" βγ
Fang Yi opened his mouth and said, "You just let her pick it, you can be an activity wallet today!" βγ
"That's fine!" Yu Qin heard this, said a few words to her son, and hung up.
Fang Yi had just sat on the sofa for less than ten minutes when he heard his mobile phone ring again, and when he picked it up, he saw that this time it was not his mother, but Beronica calling.
"What's wrong with you?" Fang Yi asked his girlfriend on the other end of the phone.
Beronica opened her mouth and said, "Your mother, I always want to buy something more expensive, some things are too expensive, I can't accept it!" That's not good! A coat costs more than 2,000 euros, and she wants to buy it for me."
Fang Yi sighed when he heard this and said, "Two thousand euros is two thousand euros, you can give it to you as a gift!" βγ Something has gone wrong with the habit here. Yu Qin thinks that the future daughter-in-law must be a little more valuable, so that it shows the importance of his family, and here in Beronica, she is not used to accepting such valuable things as soon as she comes up. Beronica is not a pure Chinese, what prospective daughter-in-law receives red envelopes and the like, what 1,608 and the like are happy to collect. Something went wrong here in two clicks.
"My mother looks at what is good, and you can buy it if you look at it!" Fang Yi said directly on the phone: "Don't care too much about the price, just treat it as if I gave it to you!" It's really not good, you can buy some for my mother, don't suffer a loss in the next two times! βγ Popularized the habits of Chinese to Beronica, anyway, they took money from Fang Yi's pocket, and then put down the phone in his hand.
Fang Guohua looked at his son and asked, "What's wrong with these two people!" βγ
"Because of the price, Beronica thinks my mother is too expensive, and my mother thinks that Beronica is too appropriate, so that's it" Fang Yi put away the phone and sat down next to his father and said.
"Your life here is good, we will be relieved to see it, if it weren't for the fact that your mother and I were worried about it in China. Your mother has always said what kind of meat you like to eat, and I don't know if you can eat authentic Chinese food abroad, but now you are really worried about it," Fang Guohua said.
Fang Yi listened and said: "When I am greedy, I always make a little bit by myself, but I don't do it often, Beronica is not used to eating!" βγ
After shopping around in the past few days, Fang Yi found that there are really many authentic Chinese restaurants in Paris, which make authentic Chinese flavors, whether you want to eat Sichuan, Shandong or Cantonese cuisine, you can find almost all in Paris. In a restaurant that Fang Yi tasted, a plate of Huaiyang fried rice is ten euros! The famous restaurants of authentic Chinese food in Paris, what the capital canteen, Fu Yuanfeng, and beauty are all very authentic Chinese cuisine. The price is by no means a stall, and there are also foreigners among the people who go to eat.
And the French gourmet, Jean? The Shandong restaurant recommended by Pierre is even more authentic and authentic Shandong cuisine.
The kind of cheap that has changed its taste, just like domestic fast food, where can this thing be talked about authentic or not?
"Anyway, everything is fine with you here, and I, your mother and your uncle will be relieved!" After Fang Guohua finished speaking, he leaned on the sofa and looked at his son and opened his mouth to ask, "Are you going to stay here for a few years and return to China?" βγ
Fang Yi shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this!" Because I'm about to sign up for an American gallery! When you return to China depends on the arrangement of the gallery, and if the works sell well, you will go back a few years later. If it doesn't sell well, it may go back in three or four years! If you become famous, it's really hard to say! βγ
Regarding the matter of returning to China, Fang Yi really can't give his parents an accurate answer, Zou Heming came to him more than ten days before Christmas, and he wanted to sign a contract with Fang Yi, which means that Fang Yi's works will be launched by his gallery in the American market in the future, and of course he will also get involved in art exhibitions. It's not that everything is easy after signing with the gallery, and then you have to cooperate with the gallery's promotion and go to some art exhibitions or something.
"Hmmm! We don't know much about these drawing things, so you can just make up your own mind anyway! Fang Guohua nodded at his son and said.
The father and son talked for about an hour and a half, and then Yu Qin and Belonica pushed the door and walked in.
Fang Yi looked at the two people with large bags in their hands, and said with a smile: "Why did you buy so much!" βγ Feelings make you don't care about money, you just buy it?
Yu Qin said with a smile: "I helped Xiaobei buy two, and then Xiaobei looked at it and bought me two pieces, that's all, do you think my coat looks good?" βγ
"Beautiful! Pretty! Fang Yi looked at it and nodded with a smile. Now Beronica and her mother are wearing new coats, and they have almost all changed their coats. My mother looked much more fashionable than when she first arrived, with a coat towel and a long scarf, and sunglasses on the bridge of her nose.
After looking at the clothes for a while, the family was busy cooking or something.
After eating, Yu Qin began to get busy again, making some food for Fang Yi, and after preparing to leave by himself, Fang Yi and the two of them could eat for such a week.
was busy until noon the next day, and then Yu Qin stopped. In the evening, Fang Yi and Beronica drove Fang Guohua and Yu Qin to board the flight back to China.
"Your mom makes so much!" Beronica said as she returned home and looked at the stuffed refrigerator.
"Eat slowly!" Fang Yi opened his mouth and said, his parents leaving so suddenly made Fang Yi feel a little uncomfortable, and he felt a little reluctant in his heart. (To be continued......)
