When the wind chime at the door rang, Yang Yi was talking to Murphy and Xi Xi in their exclusive deck. If it is an ordinary guest, this will not attract their attention.
Dante Xiang is greeting guests in English: "Good_Morning, what_can_I_do_for_you, sir? (Good morning, sir, what are you going to order?)"
Due to learning, Ding Xiang speaks English fluently and will not be so nervous that even the pronunciation is very standard. Of course, when Ding Xiang was in high school in Yanye County, her hometown, she was influenced by teachers who were not good at speaking English. Many phonetic pronunciations were inaccurate. It was after she arrived at university that she practiced with the tape.
"Are there foreign guests?" Murphy was not surprised at Ding Xiang's English level. She was curious about the visitors. Yang Yi's coffee shop is very remote. At least when she came to the shop, she had never seen a foreign guest.
"Occasionally, there are some foreign teachers in school ..." When Yang Yi was still explaining to Murphy, the guest's response made him stop.
"I_don’t_know.It’s_hard_to_explain.My_friend_told_me ... (I do n’t know, I do n’t know how to explain, my friend told me ...)" is talking about Lu Weisha ’s father, David!
He finally found this coffee shop, but he was not sure whether this coffee shop was the one opened by Yang Yi.
The "Street Corner's Coffee Shop" on the signboard is a Chinese name, of course David can't understand it, and Yang Yi only gave 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 Yi, which made him even more embarrassed.
Yes, Yang Yi ’s English name is Lyon! David tried to use this name to ask Ding Xiang, but where did Ding Xiang know Yang Yi's English name? When the two were in a dilemma there, Yang Yi finally came out to rescue them.
"David, are you here?" Yang Yi smiled and walked out of her deck with a small tail behind her ass.
Xi Xi heard that Lu Weisha's father was coming, thinking that Lu Weisha would also follow him, and she happily came out behind her father. However, after the little girl ran out, she looked left and right, but she did n’t see her partner ’s back. Suddenly, the girl smiled in a big smile on her cheek, and she was a little depressed and a little bit Looking at the adults inexplicably.
David was very happy to see Yang Yi. The troubles and troubles of finding a coffee shop just disappeared. After talking with Yang Yi for a while, he said he wanted to try what Yang Yi said. Drink freshly ground coffee.
"He gave it to me, the father of a friend of Xixi Kindergarten. I know you. You are busy doing something else." Yang Yi and David basically communicate in Swedish now, and they can also exercise their own. Speaking, after he said a few words to David, he nodded to Ding Xiang next to him.
David is a guest and a friend of Yang Yi ’s coffee. So, Yang Yi came to the bar and took out his new-grade Mandulin coffee beans that he entered last month, personally grinding beans and making coffee for David.
"This coffee bean is good, Mandheling? I haven't seen this kind of aroma, like caramel, but it is more special than the ordinary one, it is very rich." David took a piece of coffee beans and smelled Smell, could not help but exclaim.
The coffee beans I bought were praised by coffee lovers, and Yang Yi and Yourong smiled triumphantly.
"Uncle David." Xi Xi finally couldn't help it. She got into the bar and hugged her father's legs, leaned on her father's waist, and raised her small head.
"Hello, XIXI." David bowed his head and greeted Xixi with a smile.
The little girl didn't continue to speak. She pulled Dad's clothes and whispered, "Baba, you, can you ask me about Uncle David? Why didn't Luisa come?"
"You can ask yourself!" Yang Yi encouraged.
"But, I don't know how to say it." Xi Xi was anxious and shook her father's clothes.
"You can ask Uncle David this way, 'Where is Lu Weisha?'" The last sentence of Yang Yi is in Swedish. In fact, Yang Yi has taught Xi Xi a similar sentence pronunciation, but Xi Xi has not yet understood learn by analogy.
David heard what Yang Yi said just now. Although he did n’t understand the conversation between the father and daughter, he could probably guess Xi Xi ’s intention.
Xi Xi repeated a whisper, but she felt that she didn't speak well. Talking to Uncle David, but not so comfortable communicating with Lu Weisha, you can say whatever you want with your friends, it ’s nothing wrong to say. But to speak with adults in their unskilled language, Xi Xi does not have the courage.
"Baba, you help me!" Xi Xi said grumbledly with a small mouth.
"Lu Weisha is at home, she didn't come with me." David was reluctant to see this little girl embarrassed, so he replied actively.
Xi Xi blinked her eyes wide, some could not understand.
David repeated it in English.
Xi Xi ’s English is better than Swedish, and she understood this time. The little girl lowered her little head in disappointment, she thought she could play with her little friend!
"I'm sorry, I don't know you are in the coffee shop, I should bring Lu Weisha over, and she also wants to play out, but I didn't know if it was appropriate to bring her out." David used English , Apologizing to Xi Xi, looking at the little girl, David always felt that he had done something bad, making the little girl wronged!
"It's okay. Xixi, come here, don't disturb you Baba, wait until the kindergarten, you can still play with Lu Weisha!" Murphy didn't know when she came out, she waved to Xixi Also smiled slightly with David.
"This is my wife, Murphy." Yang Yi introduced David to his wife.
After a few words, Murphy returned to the deck with a disappointed Xi Xi, and Yang Yi was outside to entertain the guests.
After the coffee was brewed, David drank it while it was hot. He just admired the smell of coffee and took a sip, even more.
“I see Ding ’s coffee for other guests, although it ’s not this special cup, but it ’s also very attentive, Lyon, you ’re right, your coffee shop is indeed very good, even better than some of our street in Sweden The coffee in the coffee shop is still delicious! "David sighed with emotion.
Since the beginning of coffee, Yang Yi and David have chatted with each other. Fortunately, Yang Yi has a wide range of knowledge, and there is no obstacle to chatting with the customs of David's countries.
"You should come to Sweden to play. Sweden is also a beautiful country. We are not just cities, but also beautiful forests and coasts ..." David said to Yang Yi with a frown.
"And Ale Stonehenge!" Yang Yi pointed at David, and they laughed.
Finally, I still have to talk to the children. Although David is not a qualified dad, but it is just a culinary failure, he still puts a lot of energy into taking care of the children.
"I find it very strange that as an enterprise executive, how can you spend so much time with your children?" Yang Yi asked in a puzzled way.
"In fact, our managers, like ordinary employees, commute to work on time, except for very urgent and very important things, I will not spend my time with my family at work! This is wrong, Moreover, it will not bring me a lot of income. "David explained.
It turns out that because of the high tax rate, the actual income of these high-income groups has been much lower, not much higher than that of ordinary employees. There is definitely a difference, but it is only a few times the gap. It is not the huge gap between the monthly salary of several thousand yuan and the annual salary of millions in China!
However, at such a high tax rate, David is very happy: "This is normal. The more taxes I give, the more benefits I get, and it is also a guarantee for the future of our children and the country. "
Each country has a different system, and it is impossible to tell who is good and who is bad. Only the one that suits you may be the best! High-tax and high-welfare policies are not necessarily suitable for China's national conditions. After all, high-welfare servants are not seen in certain industries.
Yang Yi has no interest in politics. He is more interested in the way David teaches children.
"You said that you will study with Lu Weisha every night?" Yang Yi asked curiously.
"Yes, at least half an hour." David sighed and said, "I have communicated with some Chinese employees, and they did not read with their children, which surprised me."
"Did you know? This is an important parent-child moment! Imagine that half an hour before going to bed, the child stays in the arms of his parents like a kitten, and then we read together under the warm table lamp Warm? When they grow up, remembering this memory, they will be very happy! "David described the scene with a smile.
Yang Yi does not deny the happiness of such a scene, but he is also happy to tell a story to Xi Xi!
"But, can they understand those words?" Yang Yi frowned, and said, "Is reading a bit too much for children of this age to be beyond their ability? Like me, I always tell stories to Xixi, she is very happy to hear these stories. "
