Chapter 72: Enthusiastic Foreigner
What is life?
Hundreds of people and hundreds of gestures, thousands of people answered.
For the poor, life is a bottle of vinegar.
When you drink it in your mouth, it's sour, and when you heat it on the fire, well, even the air will be sour......
For Wei Ping'an, the charm of life lies in chance.
There is nothing new in the step-by-step life, looking for the bright spot in the ordinary, and touching the occasional pleasure in the ordinary day.
That's the joy of resort living.
For example, Wei Ping'an can take a bath today, and then go home to enjoy his wife and wife's hot kang.
Well, he doesn't have children yet.
But being run by Director Li of the rolling mill and turning his face clearly made him unhappy.
A mature man doesn't bring bad mood into the house, because that will affect his closest family.
The reason why many people are immature is because they give their good face and patience to outsiders and ignore their families.
After all, it is not leaders and colleagues who can accompany you for life.
Wei Ping'an is relatively mature, so he plans to use shopping to vent his anger.
Just like lesbians.
Cure-all.
Cotton coats can also heal.
Because the behavior of the old lady of Zhou Dajun's family who loves her grandson is super healing for Wei Ping'an.
But the beauty of life is that it doesn't develop as plainly as you planned.
So he met a group of foreigners who didn't have a translator and didn't know Chinese.
He rescued a salesman named Li Lu who couldn't save himself and was roasted on the fire.
Wei Ping'an didn't know at this time that Li Lu was the eldest sister of a handful of girls in the army compound, and he didn't know that he was not a salesman, but a manager of the clothing department.
"This friend wants two sets, one he can wear and one smaller, which he wants to take back as a gift for his brother......"
"These two friends want this...... And this...... Size...... Yes, that's the ......."
Wei Ping'an played the role of translator, defusing the continued deterioration of the incident.
And his translation is very good, it is the kind of translation that abandons the rigidity and rigor, which can not only complete the exchange and transaction between the two parties, but also bring a relaxed atmosphere to both parties.
For example, Ferdinand, who was so impatient just now that he almost burst into a rage, felt that the feeling of communicating with the young man in front of him was much better than that of communicating with the translator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It's a magical boy.
It was simply an angel sent by God to save them from their shopping trip.
Looking at his relaxed appearance, it's not just about playing English.
Because some of the spoken words and "dialects" blurted out by excitement can also be easily answered.
Let's talk about Elliott, he was born in Louisiana, and when he is in a hurry, he will jump out of the "local dialect" that even those who travel with him will be confused, but the strange local youth in front of him is fluent in answers, and there is no stagnation and obstacles in communication.
If it weren't for looking at him with his eyes open, he would even suspect that this was Elliott's fellow countryman.
You know, even though he had known Elliott for several years, Ferdinand sometimes couldn't understand what his colleague and friend was saying.
"Hey man, you even speak the dialect of my hometown, are you an international student at Tulane University? Are we still alumni......"
"I haven't been to Tulane University, but I know some French with an Acadian accent, and I have some impressions because you are similar to Sichuan in my country."
"Man, do you understand what I'm saying?"
At this time, Elliott's real fellow and classmate came out.
He was a tall young man with slightly curly dark brown hair, and he leaned up with interest and asked.
Wei Ping'an is proficient in many foreign languages distributed by the system, and he can distinguish the words of this young man, with the shadow of French and Spanish, and also a bit of African indigenous language, and can also deduce a rough idea.
"Hi, are you Creole? Nice to meet you. My name is Wei Ping'an. ”
Wei Ping'an stretched out his hand.
"Hello, I'm so surprised that you can understand my native dialect and speak ...... If you didn't study at Tulane University, I wouldn't believe it. Also, my name is Dominic, and I'm a college classmate of Elliott. ”
"Hello, Elliott, as you expected, wears this padded jacket and is very resistant to beatings."
That's what Elliott had just said to his friend Liam, jokingly explaining the purpose of the big bloated padded jacket.
"Haha, it's nice to meet you, friend. Really happy. ”
Li Lu was busy rummaging back and forth from behind the shelves to find suitable clothes, while secretly listening to the skillful conversation between the young man and the foreigner outside the counter.
I can't help but think of the blind date recommended by my grandmother last night.
Compare with each other, and make a judgment.
Originally, I was a little hesitant to think about it, but the group of old men and women who were almost happy with it in the perfunctory family now have a comparison of strange young people......
Li Lu inexplicably shuddered.
It's too diaphragmatic.
My dear grandmother, it's really not that she doesn't cooperate, it's that she can't stand it seriously.
Outside, it has become a temporary international friendship exchange meeting.
Wei Ping'an also knew the identities of several foreigners from the communication.
It has been nine years since the establishment of the country, and in fact, there has been no lack of international support.
For example, German equipment assistance (Germany is also divided into East Germany and West Germany), technical assistance from Big Brother, and support from international friends.
From the war to the civil war, and then to the development after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many international friends have witnessed it one by one.
Among them is such an American journalist friend.
She came to the capital in the spring this time, and it was also the sixth time she came to this land, and she chose to settle here.
As an American, it is natural that friends from their country are indispensable, as well as juniors who are also journalists, or juniors in the industry.
It is now the eve of the National Day, and 70 countries have been invited to participate in the National Day Celebration, which is very grand.
With Anna as a channel, several foreign friends came here together.
It was supposed that Anna would take them around today, but suddenly received a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the travel plan did not come true.
A few young people couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted to have a little surprise, so they didn't look for an embassy to bring an interpreter, and a few people came here with great interest.
I also plan to unscrupulously purchase some specialties and go back to surprise Anna.
I didn't expect to take a slap in the face at the beginning.
Fortunately, I met Wei Ping'an.
Seeing the foreign youth who were still stupid and happy after being frustrated, Wei Ping'an's mood also improved.
Well, the laxative still needs to be exchanged, and it is exchanged and melted into the pig, which remains the same.
It also doesn't affect chatting with a group of foreigners who don't have a city government.
"Thank you, comrade, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to do."
After settling the whole deal, Li Lu said gratefully.
"It's okay, I just met it, and if it were someone else, I would have stood up."
"What unit are you from? I'll write a thank you letter and send it to your unit. ”
"Ah, this...... I am Wei Ping'an from the third workshop of the Red Star Rolling Mill. ”
Wei Ping'an still thought about saying that he didn't have to be polite, but then he thought about it, and he didn't take notes, and it was not his style to do good deeds without leaving his name.
It's not something unsightly, thank you or something, it doesn't matter if you don't have it, since there is, Wei Ping'an is also happy to do it.
Li Lu's eyes were a little strange.
She thought that the young man in front of her was a young teacher from some university, or a staff member of a research institute who had returned from abroad, but she didn't expect it to be an ordinary workshop worker in a rolling mill.
Accidents are accidents, but there is no contempt for it.
She doesn't even know a foreign language, and she has been really "educated" at this time, and she is already quite restrained if she doesn't look up, how can she despise it.
If it's not exciting, there's no excuse for a letter of introduction.
It's not to listen to the other party's information, isn't this just to get the address?
As the saying goes, a monk can't run the temple if he runs, this kind of thing of picking grass on the surface is actually beating rabbits, and she Li Lu has done less since she was a child?
Joke.
Her Xiaolu's nickname is not a wasted name.
