Chapter Six: Chinese New Year's Eve II in a Foreign Country
"Why are you?" Su Min exclaimed.
“what's up!” Xiao Jinghan greeted in English.
"What does that mean?" Su Min asked Wang Zicheng in a daze, she understood the literal meaning, but did not understand the substance.
Wang Zicheng smiled lightly, took her hand in his hand and said softly, "It doesn't mean anything, it's just to say hello to us." ”
"Oh, I see." When she heard Wang Zicheng's explanation, she nodded thoughtfully.
This sentence is equivalent to what you are doing in China, how are you doing, how are you doing, and it is used as a modal word between acquaintances.
"Brother Jing Han is good, but why are you here alone?" Wang Zicheng pulled Su Min to sit down, and asked with a light smile.
"This is a restaurant, so naturally I'm here to eat." Xiao Jinghan's face was expressionless, but he still answered him in English.
Although Su Min can't speak English, she can still understand it.
"It turns out that you were the one who danced the lion before!" Su Min glanced at the lion head next to him, and suddenly a sentence in Chinese appeared.
Xiao Jinghan is the opposite of her, he can understand Chinese, but he can't speak.
"Well, do you want your red envelope back?" Xiao Jinghan chuckled lightly and responded to her in a strange tone.
"No, no ......" Su Min was choked back by Xiao Jinghan, and his voice became quieter and quieter.
Su Min couldn't figure out if he had offended him somewhere, obviously he didn't say anything wrong, but he was ridiculed by others.
Xiao Jinghan's table was empty, not like he had come to eat.
"Brother Jing Han laughed." Even Wang Zicheng, who is good at talking, doesn't know what to say.
For a moment, no one spoke, and an embarrassment spread between the three of them.
"Wang Zicheng, is there anything good about China?" Finally, when Wang Zicheng and Su Min were about to leave, Xiao Jinghan started the topic in English.
Wang Zicheng laughed, he didn't know how to answer.
After all, Xiao Jinghan has lived in the United States since he was a child, and his impression of the other side is the China in the mouth of his ancestors. He has not personally experienced the charm of Chinese civilization, so naturally he cannot resonate.
"Why don't you go back and see it in person?"
Want to go back and see? Xiao Jinghan thought silently in his heart.
When his grandfather persuaded him in the past, he always made excuses to prevaricate. This time, he came to Chinatown to dance the lion without telling his family, just to experience it, and then use his own experience to refuse his grandfather.
Who knows, the atmosphere here gave him a sense of belonging, so much so that he was a little afraid, afraid of the unknown Eastern Continent.
But these were not enough for him to decide to go to China.
So he found a relatively quiet restaurant and sorted out his thoughts, who knew that he had met Su Min and them.
Xiao Jinghan smiled a little impatiently, "Your food should be cold." ”
Su Min reacted at this time, she and Wang Zicheng were still eating.
"It's okay, otherwise I'll have a drink with Brother Jing Han." Wang Zicheng waved his hand and looked at Xiao Jinghan with a smile.
Xiao Jinghan did not refuse, he ordered some dishes, and when he was about to order wine, he was stopped by Wang Zicheng.
"I'm in a foreign land with Minmin, and I shouldn't have refused. But I'm afraid of drinking and making mistakes, so I don't know if I can replace wine with tea? ”
They had an English conversation, and Su Min was a little dazed when she listened, because the speed of speech was too fast, and she didn't understand it, and the two of them crackled and talked a lot.
So she had to eat by herself and let the two of them talk.
"Minmin, let's go!" Su Min was dozing off when he was called out by Wang Zicheng.
Aha, it's finally time to go.
She couldn't help but cheer in her heart, but she simply replied, "Oh." ”
It was only after walking a few steps that she realized that Xiao Jinghan had been following behind them.
She turned around and looked at Xiao Jinghan with some puzzlement, and then looked at Wang Zicheng, expecting his explanation.
Looking at her eyes with doubts hidden, Wang Zicheng reacted and said to her, "Brother Jing Han go with us, let's go!" ”
I don't know why, Su Min felt a little apprehensive in her heart, she was eating Xiao Jinghan's vinegar!
Even she couldn't believe that she would eat a man's vinegar!
Xiao Jinghan held his lion's head and followed them casually, as if to say that I have nothing to do with you.
"Daddy, wait for me!" A childish voice, panting and shouting in English.
"Hurry, hurry, the countdown is about to begin!" An anxious voice answered her, as if the countdown was more important than the child.
"Ahh Woo woo woo woo ~ " The child ran to Su Min and fell to the ground.
The child was a lovely blonde girl who probably fell and cried.
Seeing this, Su Min hurriedly picked her up and comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry, huhuhu." ”
Soon she realized that the child could not understand what she was saying, and turned to Wang Zicheng for help.
Wang Zicheng shook his head helplessly, held the child in his hand, and said in English, "The baby doesn't cry, it hurts." ”
As if his gentle words had done their job, the baby stopped crying, but the tears were still falling down.
Xiao Jinghan looked at them silently, silently, and laughed at the way they coaxed the children.
Su Min couldn't bear it, so she took off the hairpin on her head and teased the child.
Perhaps by his inquisitive nature about the unknown, the child's eyes glowed greedily when he saw the Chinese hairpin.
As if she had got a treasure, she showed off in front of Wang Zicheng, and Wang Zicheng responded to her with a smile, "Good-looking, good-looking!" ”
As if he had noticed that the child was missing, the child's father came to him.
“daddy!” When the child found that his father was looking for her, he screamed happily.
The child's father looked at Wang Zicheng with unkind eyes, until the child showed off the Chinese hairpin in front of him.
Of course, he found this hairpin, which was exactly the same as the one left on Su Min's head, so he smiled and took the child in his hand and said to them, "Thanks!" ”
"You're welcome." When the prince saw the child leaning over to the foreigner to hug him, he knew that he was the father of the child's mouth, and hurriedly responded.
"It seems that foreign children are no different from us!" Su Min said with emotion, but Xiao Jinghan's body shook slightly.
There is no difference between you and me, but I have to be biased!
“ten!”
Someone in the crowd cheered and began the countdown, and they stopped to wait.
“ne!” "Nine!"
There were some Chinese countdowns in the crowd, and Su Min hurriedly held Wang Zicheng's hand and happily counted down with the people.
“eight!” "Eight!"
The sound of Chinese began to be louder than that of English, and it was not until later that English was silent.
……
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Happy New Year!" "Happy New Year!"
The voices come and go, representing people's most sincere blessings!
"Crackle, crackle!" For a while, the sound of explosion came from all directions, so frightened that Su Min hurriedly blocked her ears, and Wang Zicheng hugged her in his arms with a smile, afraid that she would be scattered by the crowd.
The sound of firecrackers is not a real firecracker, but the sound of electronic firecrackers, for the sake of urban fire safety, so electronic firecrackers have replaced traditional firecrackers.
Both of them laughed very happily, and unconsciously, the person in the distance recorded this sweet moment with their cameras.
The people around were also immersed in a sea of joy, and the sound of joy did not subside for a long time.
