Chapter 512: Thomas the Little Train
Xu San's words, Sun Changhai believed it.
He is not stupid, but he knows that even if he doesn't believe it, this tube of blood Xu San has to be pumped, rather than guessing blindly, it is better to believe Xu San, so that he can make his mood much happier.
After sending Sun Zhanghai away, Xu San took Xiaohong to a small two-story building in the corner of the cement factory, which was Thomas's residence.
Thomas was brought from Tangshan by Xu San using special means.
This old British gentleman who is nearly fifty years old has his own wisdom, knowing that he can't resist and chooses to face it calmly, anyway, he has nothing to worry about in Huaxia, and he chooses to be the same wherever he goes, although his freedom has been restricted to a certain extent on Xu San's side, he makes a lot of money, and he has a lot of say about the cement factory.
Watching this cement factory grow little by little, it also gave him an indescribable sense of achievement.
And listening to the cake Xu San drew for him, the grand blueprint he planned also made him full of longing for it.
Another uncooperative engineer has disappeared, and it is estimated that the so-called disappearance has probably been disposed of by Yamamoto.
In front of the small building, a gray-haired Thomas is playing football with a puppet soldier in a vest and pants.
Seeing Xu San's arrival, Thomas immediately stopped the ball and said in that characteristic accent, "Xu, you're finally here!" As he spoke, he opened his arms and gave Xu San a hug.
"Dear little train, I miss you too." As he spoke, he glanced at the soccer ball on the ground, "And your shit-like skills." ”
Hearing this, Thomas's face immediately became hideous, and he yelled at Xu San, "I'm just old, I played at Old Trafford when I was young!" ”
"Oh, is it? I've heard this happen countless times. But playing at Old Trafford doesn't necessarily mean you're good. Xu San continued to laugh and said.
"At least I did! And you didn't, haha~" Thomas ignored Xu San's taunt, but laughed proudly.
Xu San also smiled, he turned around and introduced Thomas, "This is An Hong, my secretary." ”
Looking at Xu San's hand, Thomas saw Xiaohong.
Xiaohong's current dress is completely Western-style feigns, and with that pair of flat glasses, it is completely a typical OL style, if it is not for a green little face, it is completely a strong woman in the workplace.
Seeing the familiar costumes made Thomas feel homesick and think of his daughter.
He gave Xiaohong a gentlemanly salute and said in Chinese, "Beautiful Miss An Hong, I am Thomas Howard, the technical director of this cement factory, and I am a native of Manchester, England. ”
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Thomas." As she spoke, Xiaohong reached out her hand.
Thomas was slightly surprised, took his hand, kissed it gently, and then said, "Miss Anhong, you are very special. ”
"What's so special about me?" Xiaohong asked.
"Well, in Huaxia's words. Call. Call. Weak and generous, and Miss An Hong has no rejection of our etiquette. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Thomas." Xiaohong replied with a smile, but she was really disgusting in her heart, and scolded this Thomas for being immodest and daring to take advantage of his mother, if it wasn't for her brother-in-law telling him these Western etiquette in advance, she estimated that she would have to pull out a gun.
"Huaxia is too difficult to speak, and it's normal to make a few wrong words." Thomas said indifferently.
"By the way, Mr. Thomas, why does my boss call you Little Train?"
"Thomas's father was a railroad worker, and his favorite toy when he was a child was a model train that his father gave him, so I called him Thomas the little train." Xu San explained the origin of this nickname on the side, in fact, the real reason is that he was influenced by a certain cartoon.
"I love this nickname, it reminds me of my childhood, and Miss An Hong can call me that."
"Okay! Mr. Little Train! ”
"Haha, how old is Miss An Hong this year." After saying that, I felt that it was a bit inappropriate to ask like this, "I'm sorry, I know it's polite to ask, but when I saw you, I remembered my little Jenny." ”
"20 years old!" Xiaohong blurted out, but this age was two years older than her actual age.
"Jenny is 22 years old, two years older than you, and she's just as beautiful and generous as she is." As he spoke, he took out a pocket watch from his bosom and opened it, "Look, this is her picture." ”
Xiaohong leaned over and saw a picture of a girl embedded in the cover of the pocket watch, but it looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Because it's a black and white photo, you can't see the color of your hair, but the silver-white hair and a hearty smile really make you feel good.
"Jenny's hair is pale blonde!" Xu San said beside him.
Xiaohong squinted her eyes and imagined, "That must be beautiful, but I look at the photos, she should only be fifteen or sixteen years old." ”
"Thank you, this photo was taken seven years ago. Jenny should have grown up to be as good as Miss Anhong. A hint of longing flashed across Thomas's face, and then he said, "Jenny is very willing to make friends, and if I have the chance, I will definitely introduce you to you." Thomas said, put away the photo, and then looked at Xu San, "Xu, you came just in time, you come to the kitchen tonight, let's have a barbecue party in my yard." ”
"Good!" Xu San readily agreed.
Hearing Xu San's promise, Thomas's face immediately filled with a smile of relief.
He stood up and walked towards the small storeroom on the first floor, and in a few moments he took out a barbecue stove, the same kind of long Chinese stove.
Putting the stove on the ground, "The meat skewers made by the chef here are good, but I always feel that the taste is wrong, not as good as what you make, and I think there is a little less flavor in it." ”
Xu San thought for a while and said, "It's probably the taste of human affection, if you can't talk about life when you eat barbecue, and you can't brag as you like, it's really a little less flavorful." ”
"Xu, you're right, I just like to hear you brag, haha~"
You don't have to skewer it yourself, as long as Xu San tells him to go down, the kitchen here will naturally be ready.
Thomas took out a bottle of whiskey, which looked like it weighed three or four pounds, looked at Xu San, who was fiddling with meat skewers, and said, "Drink this today!" ”
Turning his head and asking, "Miss An Hong does you drink?" ”
"You can drink less."
Xu San, who flipped the meat skewers, glanced at the whiskey on the table and said with a little disappointment, "It's best to eat barbecue with beer." ”
