When the wind chimes at the door rang, Yang Lan was in their exclusive deck, talking and laughing with Murphy and Yan. If it is an ordinary guest, this will not attract their attention.
But Ding Xiang is greeting the guests in English: "good_morning, what_an_i_do_for_you, sir? (Good morning, sir, what are you going to do?)"
It’s not a matter of learning, Ding Xiang’s English is very fluent, he won’t be nervous, and even the pronunciation is very standard. Of course, in the past, when Ding Xiang was in high school in Yanye County, he was influenced by the teachers whose own spoken English was not good. Many phonetic pronunciations were inaccurate. It was also after the university that she was able to follow the tapes.
And foreign guests?
Murphy was not surprised by Ding Xiang’s English level. She was curious about the visitor. This coffee shop in Yang Lan was originally very remote. At least when she came to the store, she had never seen a foreign guest.
"Occasionally, there are some foreign teachers in the school..." When Yang Lan was still explaining with Murphy, the response from the guests made him stop.
"i_don’t_know.it’s_hard_to_explain.my_friend_told_me......(I don't know, I don't know how to explain, my friend told me...) "It's Luvia's father, David!"
He managed to find this coffee shop, but it was not good to confirm whether this coffee shop was the one that Yang Kai opened.
On the signboard, the "coffee shop on the corner" is the Chinese name. Of course, David can't understand it, and Yang Lan only gives him the address, and there is no English name for the coffee shop.
After David came in, he looked around and didn't see Yang Lan, which made him feel embarrassed.
Yes, Yang Lan’s English name Lyon! David tried to use this name to ask Ding Xiang, but where does Ding Xiang know that Yang Lan’s English name is this? When the two men went in and out of trouble, Yang Lan finally came out to help them out.
"David, are you here?" Yang Xiao smiled and walked out of his deck, followed by a small tail behind his butt.
I heard that Lu Weisha’s father came, thinking that Lu Weisha would come over and happily follow her father. However, after the little girl ran out, she looked left and looked at it. She did not see the back of her partner. Suddenly, the little girl’s face was closed with a bright smile. She was somewhat depressed and somewhat Looking at the adults inexplicably.
David saw that Yang Lan was very happy. The troubles caused by the troubles and entanglements of the coffee shop were gone. After he had been chilling for a while, he said that he would taste the good drink that Yang Lan said. Grind coffee.
"He gave it to me, the father of a friend of a kindergarten, I know. You go to other things." Yang Lan and David now basically communicate in Swedish, just to exercise their own spoken language, he After talking to David a few words, he nodded to Ding Xiang next to him.
David is a guest, and he is also a friend of Yang Lan’s coffee. Therefore, Yang Lan came to the bar and took out the special Mandheling coffee beans that he had entered last month. He personally gave David the beans and coffee.
"This coffee bean is good, Mandheling? I haven't seen this kind of scent, like caramel, but it's more special than normal. It's very rich." David took a piece of coffee beans and smelled it. Can't help but exclaim.
The coffee beans that I bought were praised by coffee lovers, and Yang Lan was also proud of it, and smiled smugly.
"Uncle David." He finally couldn't help it. She got into the bar, hugged Dad's leg, leaned on Dad's waist, leaned back on her small head, and screamed with courage.
"Hello, xixi." David bowed his head and said hello with a smile.
The little girl didn't talk anymore. She pulled the dad's clothes and whispered, "Hey, you, can you help me ask Uncle David? Why didn't Lu Weisha come?"
"You can ask yourself!" Yang Hao encouraged.
"But, but I don't know how to say it." He was anxious, and took his father's clothes and waved.
"You can ask Uncle David, 'Where is Lu Weisha?'" The last sentence Yang Yu used in Swedish. In fact, Yang Lan had taught similar sentences, but he still didn't know how to make a difference.
David listened to Yang Lan’s words. Although he couldn’t understand the dialogue between the father and the daughter, he could probably guess the intent.
He repeated a whisper, but she felt that she was not doing well. Talking to Uncle David, you can't communicate with Lu Weisha so easily. You can do whatever you want with your little friends. It's nothing to say wrong. But with the adults still speaking in their unskilled language, you don't have this courage.
"Hey, you help me!" He whispered his mouth and said aggrieved.
"Lu Weiza is at home, she didn't come with me." David was reluctant to see the little girl embarrassed and replied proactively.
I have wide eyes and some don’t understand.
David repeated it in English.
My English is better than Swedish, and this time she understands. The little girl was disappointed to lower her head, and she thought she could play with her little friends!
"I am sorry, I don't know if you are in the coffee shop. I should bring Lu Weisha over. She also wants to come out to play, but I didn't know if it was appropriate to bring her out." David is apologetic in English. He said, looking at the little girl, David always felt that he had done something bad, and that the little girl was wronged!
"It doesn't matter. Hey, come over, don't bother you, wait until the kindergarten, you and Lu Weisha can still play!" Murphy did not know when it came out, she waved to the beggar, also with the big Wei smiled and said.
"This is my wife, Murphy." Yang Lan introduced David to his wife.
After a few chats, Murphy returned to the deck with a disappointment, and Yang Hao was there to entertain guests.
After the coffee was cooked, David drank it hot. He smelled the coffee and scented it. He was amazed and took a sip. He was full of praise.
"I see Ding to make coffee for other guests. Although it is not this cup, it is very special, but I am very careful. Lyon, you are right. You are really good at this coffee shop, even some street cafes in Sweden. The coffee is good!" David felt it.
Starting from the coffee, Yang Lan chatted with David and the North. Fortunately, Yang Lan’s knowledge is relatively wide, and there is no obstacle to chatting with the customs of David.
"You should come to Sweden to play, Sweden is also a beautiful country, we are not just the city, there are beautiful forests, coasts..." David said with Yang Lan.
"And Ale Stonehenge!" Yang Lan pointed at David, and they both laughed.
Finally, I still have to talk about the child. Although David is not a qualified dad, it is just a bad skill. He still puts a lot of energy into taking care of the children.
"I find it very strange that you, as a corporate executive, how can you spend so much time with your children?" Yang asked inexplicably.
"In fact, our managers, like ordinary employees, are on time to go to work on time. Unless it is very urgent and very important, I will not spend my time with my family at work! This is not right, and it It won't bring me a lot of income," David explained.
It turned out that because of the high tax rate, the real income of his high-income class was lowered a lot, not much higher than the average employee. There must be a difference, but it is only a few times the gap, not the huge gap between the domestic thousand and the millions of annual salary!
However, such a high tax rate, David is very sorrowful: "This is normal, the more taxes I give, the more benefits I get, and this is a guarantee for the future of our children and the country."
The system of each country is different. It can't be said who is good or who is bad. Only the one that suits you is the best! High-tax and high-welfare policies are also not suitable for China's national conditions. After all, high-welfare and wealth-free people are not seen in certain industries.
For politics, Yang Lan has no interest. He is more interested in the way David teaches children.
"You said that you will accompany Lu Weisha every night?" Yang Lan asked curiously.
"Yes, at least half an hour." David sighed and said, "I have communicated with some Chinese employees. They didn't read it with their children, which surprised me."
"Do you know? This is a very important parent-child moment! Please imagine that half an hour before going to bed, the child is in the arms of the parents like the kitten, and then we read the book under the warm lamp, how warm is this? When they grow up, they will be very happy when they think of this memory!" David described the scene with a smile.
Yang Lan does not deny the happiness of such a scene, but he is equally happy to tell stories!
"But, can they understand the words?" Yang Yan frowned and said, "Is reading for the children of this age a little too far beyond their ability? Like me, I am Telling stories to you, she is very happy listening to these stories."
