Chapter Seventy-Eight: One of Su Guo's Black History: A Little Girl with Pigtails and a Sunflower-like Orange Cat
Su Mingxuan couldn't laugh and couldn't laugh, and explained the meaning of this line of Chinese words to the other party.
The man was shocked, "Wow! Jim, bad boy! I said why I greet people and everyone avoids me! ”
However, Su Mingxuan's English was good, so the two of them chatted smoothly.
After the global alliance was formed, it originally wanted to unify the language, but the basic lingua franca between the East and the West was too far apart, and in the end it could only be set that English and Chinese were both lingua franca.
The Greater China region, commonly known as the Eastern Region, is based on consistent customs, and basic English is put into basic education as a skill, so people in Greater China know more or less English, while the American Region, which is commonly known as the Western Region, is because of some inexplicable "pride". This is not done, so those who want to learn Mandarin have to learn it on their own, and of course, it is said that Chinese cram schools and tutors are also very popular in the Americas now.
The topic came back, because of this inexplicable misunderstanding, so Su Mingxuan and the man chatted logically. The man introduced himself as Thomas, a young teacher who came to the Department of Biology of Hujiang University for exchange. In fact, he should have come to Hujiang University next semester to report, but he heard some "inside information" that the Department of Biology had a scientific research opportunity to go to the "animal base" during the summer vacation, so he rushed over.
I accosted Su Mingxuan because he recognized Su Mingxuan as a teacher in the biology department, so he wanted to get to know each other and see if he could introduce him to the research group.
Su Mingxuan had a good impression of the other party's outspoken words about his origin and intentions, but he couldn't agree to Thomas's request.
"Thomas, you know, young teachers like us don't have a say in the composition of the entire research group, and even if I help you go and tell the professors, I'm afraid you won't be able to agree."
Su Mingxuan said the reason for evasion, but he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, he couldn't say that he was not actually from the research group, but just rubbed the relationship with his own cat?
Thomas was a little disappointed, but he didn't give up, saying that he would go back and ask the professors at his university to talk to the professors here, after all, there were still quite a lot of connections between the well-known professors in the two regions.
Su Mingxuan nodded, "I hope you can succeed!" ”
Thomas smiled and thanked him, and then looked at the orange cat in the backpack on Su Mingxuan's lap, the orange cat had already drunk the juice and was poking his head around and didn't know what to see.
"However, your cat is really cute, and even uses a straw." Thomas was actually curious about how this guy could use a straw without leaking out of both sides of his mouth.
Fortunately, Su Guo didn't know what the man on the other side was thinking, if he knew, he would only fly and smash another sentence:
"It's your business!"
The two men chatted for a while about the topic of biological systems, although one was in the direction of plants and the other was in the direction of animals, but they both belonged to the biology department, and they could always find some suitable topics.
Of course, the conversation is also thanks to another characteristic of Thomas: chatter. Often Su Mingxuan only made a start, and Thomas would continue to talk all the way, from plants to animals to people, from majors to schools to gossip.
The two of them chatted for half an hour, and 25 minutes of them were this guy talking about it, in Su Guo's opinion, this man is a completely wasted talent who doesn't talk about talk shows but engages in biology.
Because they have always used the language of the Western Region, Su Guo used the system to translate for a while at the beginning, and he didn't bother to translate later, which consumed energy.
However, this also sounded a little alarm bell for Su Guo, he should also go and take a look at the information that the system has searched out during this time, those materials have been piled up there, and he has never thought of learning it, so it is not good to be lazy, at least he has to know more about this world.
chatted until Ye Yiyun and Xiaoya came back from a round of shopping, and Thomas got up to say goodbye, and regretfully said that he and Su Mingxuan had not finished chatting today, and they would chat together next time they had time.
Ye Yiyun looked at Thomas's distant back suspiciously, and asked Su Mingxuan, "You guys had a good chat?" ”
According to her understanding, Su Mingxuan is not the kind of stranger who likes to chat.
Su Mingxuan smiled bitterly: "What are you talking about, it's just that he's saying I'm listening." ”
The little girl didn't care about the adult's affairs, and hugged Su Guo happily: "Guozi, Guozi, I bought you beautiful clothes!" ”
Su Guo looked confused, clothes? Pretty? There are also people who buy cat costumes here?
However, it is not convenient to take out the things that have been packed into the shopping bag outside, so the family went to the car store with large bags and small bags to pick up the new car and went home.
Why not eat out, though? Su Guo was lying on the back window of the new car, looking at the gradually departing business district with tears in his eyes, and he didn't go to a restaurant to eat when he came out to shop! What a bad review!
He didn't know that in these business districts, there were either fast food made by food processors or very expensive artisanal food restaurants.
According to Ye Yiyun, the former is no different from eating at home, and the latter is too expensive, and they usually don't eat it if it's not a big deal, so they haven't considered eating out.
Su Guo, who was a little wilted because he didn't eat anything delicious, climbed into his cat nest as soon as he got home, ready to take a look at the progress of Yuan Gui's side, and consider whether to invest some more energy to speed up the progress of this product.
I was thinking about it, when suddenly a stuffy thing was put on my head.
Immediately afterwards, the cheers of the little girl sounded beside her, "Mom, Mom, look how beautiful the fruit is, like a sunflower!" ”
Su Guo: "......" sunflowers? I?
He hurriedly ran out of the cat nest, ran into the bathroom, jumped on the sink and looked in the mirror, and saw that there was a scarf-like thing around his neck, all of which were in the shape of orange-red petals, and an orange cat head of himself was exposed in the middle.
It seems that Xiaoya is not wrong when she says that she is like a sunflower. But...... This thing is stupid!
Su Guo jumped down from the sink in a huff, hunched his waist, lowered his head, and pulled the scarf down with his two front paws, trying to get his head out of it.
Xiaoya hurriedly ran over and hugged Su Guo, stopped Su Guo's movements, and posed in a scissor-hand pose next to him.
"Mom, Mom, take a picture of me and the fruit together!"
"Click!"
Ye Yiyun left a photo on the terminal, a little girl with two pigtails made a V in one hand, and an orange cat with a petal scarf in the other, and the orange cat's face clearly showed a four-letter expression.
