Chapter 1158: Foreigners are called foreigners
When Zhao Xiayang and Thomas were muttering, Ye Tian had already walked over with two plates, but he just put down the plates and left again. Everyone has seen his appetite, so they know that these two plates are not enough for him at all.
It didn't take long for Ye Tian to bring another bowl of porridge and a bowl of noodles, and Zhenzhen was a glass of milk, two eggs, and a loaf of bread.
Ye Tian never pays attention to any manners when eating, he eats how he eats every time, sometimes he looks ugly, but everyone here is an acquaintance, so it won't have any effect. On the contrary, everyone thinks that Ye Tian is the most real, and he is not pretentious at all. Of course, he will still pay attention to his image when he eats at Da Mi's house, after all, he wants to leave a good impression on his future mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Da Mi's father admired Ye Tian a lot, and he did not interfere with his interaction with Da Mi, and he was still more supportive of them, so Ye Tian occasionally went to Da Mi's house for dinner. Da Mi's mother is also very good to Ye Tian, she thinks Ye Tian is a very down-to-earth person, although the family background is not very good, but her daughter is not short of money, there is no need to marry a rich man, she has always scoffed at Da Mi's father wants to marry those worldly friends, and feels that the marriage is still up to the daughter herself, which is a very democratic mother.
Da Mi's father actually didn't have to marry Da Mi and those wealthy sons, but he had that kind of idea, and he couldn't do it, and he didn't force it if he couldn't. He said that he would not use Da Mi as a tool to make money, as long as Da Mi was unwilling, even if he went bankrupt, he would not force Da Mi. This is rare in a super-rich family, and many daughters of rich families can't be masters of their own marriages.
While eating, Ye Tian thought that he would have dinner with Da Mi's parents when he returned to Chengdu after the game, and he also had to call his parents, and the parents of the two sides met for the first time, which was considered an engagement, which was also a big deal. He didn't know what to tell his parents about it, or if his father would agree.
Ye Tian's mother is easier to talk to anyway, and she was also very good to Da Mi last time she went, and she seemed to like Da Mi very much. Ye Tian is most worried that after the parents of the two sides meet, the two sides will not be equal when they talk because of the difference in identity, afraid that Da Mi's father will have the superiority of the upper class, and his father is the kind of person who is more stubborn, and he is unwilling to bow his head all his life, so once Da Mi's father shows that meaning, he feels that his father will definitely be quite unhappy.
Although it feels good to meet Da Mi's father several times, Da Mi's father doesn't have that kind of frame and is quite a kind person, but Ye Tian is still worried. Eating all the things he had taken with a heavy heart, Nalan Rong and a few substitutes had just entered the restaurant.
Ye Tian wiped his mouth, and then urged: "Hurry up, we will wait for you in the hall outside, and we will leave together after eating, don't waste time." ”
Several substitutes nodded, and then each went to get something to eat, the breakfast here is autonomous, you can take what you want to eat, and the breakfast coupon is free, and there are two breakfast coupons in each room. For this kind of free buffet, Ye Tian has never been polite, and this breakfast is the same, there are empty plates and empty bowls in front of him, and foreigners who live in the hotel can't help but look at him more when they pass by.
Ye Tian walked out of the restaurant with Zhao Xiayang, Zhenzhen, and Toms, who had finished eating, and then sat on the sofa in the lounge area of the hall and waited for a few people who were still eating. After sitting for a while, Toms got up and said to go to the toilet, and Ye Tian urged him to come back quickly.
Nalan Rong and the others finished breakfast and walked out, but they didn't see Toms come back, so Ye Tian asked Zhao Xiayang to go to the bathroom to see if Thomas was there. Zhao Xiayang trotted to the bathroom, but he didn't come back for a long time, Ye Tian looked at the time on his phone, and walked to the bathroom a little anxiously to find the two.
The bathroom was next to the staircase in the hall, and it was about to turn two corners, and when Ye leaned outside the bathroom, he saw that Toms and Zhao Xiayang were there, and a few foreigners were also there, and the two sides seemed to be arguing about something.
Ye Tian hurriedly walked over, and when Toms saw Ye Tian coming, he said to Ye Tian: "These foreigners are unreasonable, how is your English, tell them, I have no malicious intentions!" ”
Zhao Xiayang tried to communicate with the other party in broken English on the side, but his vocabulary is too small, and it is OK, no, yes, what, etc., although he also remembers a few sentences of the whole sentence, but they are all howareyou or howdoyoudo, and it is not appropriate to use it at this time.
Ye Tian pulled Zhao Xiayang's arm and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Zhao Xiayang said very depressedly: "It's Toms, he came out of the bathroom and saw a few foreigners, these foreigners thought that he was also from Europe and the United States, so they greeted him in English, and then wanted to ask him how to take the car to the Terracotta Warriors, but when Toms spoke, he called these foreigners foreigners, and the other party was unhappy all of a sudden, so they had a dispute, but Toms couldn't speak English, and he couldn't explain it clearly, and these foreigners probably thought that Thomas was deliberately pretending not to understand, So I'm even more angry, after all, Toms looks like he doesn't speak English, who believes it? ”
Ye was a little speechless after listening to Zhao Xiayang's words, in fact, Chinese generally call foreigners foreigners, which is not a derogatory term, nor does it mean any ridicule, but some foreigners feel that this is an insult to them, and they will be very angry. Toms also has a foreigner's face, and even calls people foreigners, which is really funny.
Foreigners can't understand a few words of Chinese, but they can understand the word foreigner. Ye Tian's English is not good, and he doesn't know how to explain this word to a few foreigners without any malicious intent, seeing a few foreigners chattering non-stop, he was very excited, so Ye Tian called Zhenzhen.
Zhenzhen soon came over, Ye Tian asked her how her English level was, Zhenzhen didn't answer him, so she directly talked to one of the foreign girls, using very fluent English. Through the exchange between Guò and the foreign girl, Zhenzhen figured out the whole process of the matter, and then she patiently explained to a few foreigners that the word foreigner did not have any derogatory and discriminatory meaning, and at the same time apologized to Toms.
The feelings of several foreigners calmed down, and Zhenzhen said that Toms grew up in China and could not speak English, so let them understand, and several foreigners suddenly realized that they were embarrassed to apologize to Toms. Toms still understood the word Sorry, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "NoSorry!" ”
Zhenzhen couldn't help laughing when she heard this, it was obvious that Tom's English grammar was completely wrong, and the foreigners also shook their heads speechlessly, probably believing that Toms couldn't speak English.
After a few foreigners left, Ye Tian patted Toms on the shoulder and said, "With your appearance, it's really undeserved not to learn English well." When the world looks at you, they think you can speak English, just like people think I can speak Chinese when they see me. ”
"Not necessarily. Foreigners may not think you can speak Chinese, but they may also think that you can speak Japanese or Korean. Don't people in these three Asian countries look similar? Tom retorted.
"It depends on where I am, I'm in China, so foreigners must think I can speak Chinese when they see me, and if I'm Japanese, it's easy to be misunderstood." However, I don't agree with the statement that people from these three Asian countries look similar, because I think the Chinese are the most handsome! "Ye Tian is very emphasized.
"Well, I agree with you, who told me to grow up in China all the time? And I'm still a Chinese national......" Tom nodded.
"If you can't speak English, you shouldn't have such a face, I'll build yì, you better go for plastic surgery!" Ye Tian shook his head after speaking, and then left, Zhao Xiayang and Zhenzhen hurriedly followed. Tom felt that his face was hot, he knew that he should learn English well when he was studying, and if he couldn't speak English, he was really sorry for this British face, he shook his blonde hair, and then followed.
Such an episode did not affect everyone's spirit, and everyone was ridiculing Tom along the way, but Thomas still said very confidently: "It is rare for foreigners to not speak English, but have you ever seen a foreigner who can speak authentic Sichuan dialect?" That's the skill, right? ”
"That's just as well!" Ye Tian and the others said with a smile. The taxi driver also found it interesting and interjected, "Which country are you?" You speak Mandarin very well, and you don't have a foreigner accent at all. ”
Thomas was speechless and said, "Master, drive seriously, don't desert." It's obvious that I'm Chinese, a Western-looking Chinese, isn't it? There are still many Chinese Americans in the United States, who also claim to be Americans, but they have a Chinese face. ”
"He speaks very sharply, and he really doesn't look like a foreigner. Half-breeds, right? "Big Brother Driver seems to be interested in Toms.
"Do you see how many countries I mixed with the blood?" Thomas asked.
Without waiting for the driver to speak, Ye Tian smiled and said, "You should ask him what kind of blood he mixed with...... What kind of blood is there in pig blood and duck blood......"
"Captain, there is a limit to joking, it hurts your self-esteem! You eat hot pot, and you still have pig blood and duck blood. Thomas said very unpleasantly.
"Sorry, my joke is that there is no limit, if it hurts you because of this, you have a kind of to hit me!" Ye Tian said with a smile, and Zhenzhen and the others couldn't help laughing.
