Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 437 Family Dinner
Ren Limei had thought of ten thousand scenarios of meeting her daughter-in-law, but she had never been able to predict the current scenario.

Originally, she had a lot of questions, but now she feels completely unable to ask them—how can she ask a foreigner whose Chinese is not good?

Listening to what this woman said before, Li Meili thought she could speak Chinese, but she didn't expect that she couldn't understand such a simple sentence. Alas, how can we communicate in the future.

Saoirse sat on the sofa feeling uneasy, and suddenly thought of something, she quickly said to Li Meili: "Auntie, I brought some gifts from my hometown for you and uncle..."

She stood up to get the things she brought in, took out a sweater wrapped in a white box, and handed it to Li Meili.

"This is an Irish handmade sweater, very warm and suitable for wearing now... and this bottle of wine, known as the King of Wine in Ireland, is for my uncle."

I don't know how long Saoirse practiced these two sentences, but they are the two sentences she pronounces most clearly.

It took one year to practice Chinese, and Saoirse didn't have time to study Chinese. Ye Kai was shocked to be able to say this, after all, not everyone has such cheats.

It is usually praised that a person knows a lot of foreign languages, and can say that this person is proficient in eight languages.

And Ye Kai is not only proficient in multiple languages, but also at the level of his mother tongue, the kind of proficiency that can be used to write a book, if Ye Kai is willing to spend a few days to travel around the world by plane, looking for countries that he has never been to for transit.

When he returns to China again, Ye Kai may be the person who is proficient in the most languages ​​in the world.

Hearing Saoirse's words, Li Meili was dumbfounded again.

Do you know Chinese or not?If you say you can’t, you still say it quite clearly, if you say you can...you can’t understand if you can eat Sichuan food, what should I do?

"Thank you, thank you... Oh, this sweater is very good. I knitted it for Ye Kai when he was young, and I still keep it at home."

"Do I still have this kind of clothes?" Ye Kai asked.

"How not!"

Li Meili frowned and said, "I've been knitting the clothes for a long time. You said it was itchy to wear, and you said you would give it to others... I worked so hard to weave it for you. I don't want to give it away. I put it all at home." on."

"..."

I remembered.

My mother did knit a sweater for herself, but the wool she used... I don't need to mention it.

In fact, these sweaters are almost the same. Ye Kai's Icelandic sweaters also need to be lined inside. Ye Kai doesn't know how others will feel if the sweater is worn inside, but he himself really feels itchy.

Seeing that Saoirse had taken out her things, Ye Kai also opened his travel bag.

These are all gifts sent back from Iceland. They were originally bought for relatives during my travels. Now when I go home during the Chinese New Year, I send the two kinds of gifts together.

It also saves myself from thinking about what gifts to bring home for the New Year.

I also brought Ye Kai, a famous sweater from Iceland, but I didn’t bring it back to my mother. If I have a chance in the future, I can send it back to my mother by express delivery.After all, Saoirse gave her mother a sweater, so I will give this one to my father first.

Ye Kai took out a red jewelry box, which contained a string of pearl necklaces.

"This is for you. I brought it back from Iceland. I heard that it will keep you warm and not cold."

Li Meili didn't know where Iceland was, but she knew that Ye Kai had lived in this place for several months, so she quickly took over and said, "Oh, my son will buy me a gift, that's great."

"..."

What I said... Didn't I bring you gifts when I went home before?
Seeing the loving interaction between Ye Kai and Li Meili, Saoirse let go of the tension in her heart a little bit, the expression on her face became better, and she stroked her half-length blond hair.

Saoirse asked Ye Kai in a low voice: "Why can't I understand what your parents said? Is this your Huaxia dialect?"

Irish English is actually a dialect, and many British people can't understand the language of Ireland, so Saoirse guessed that Ye Kai's parents also spoke a Chinese dialect.

When communicating with Zhou Sihui at the beginning, she heard Zhou Sihui speak similar language, but most of the time Ye Kai's friends spoke Mandarin.

"This is the local dialect of Sichuan Province."

Speaking of this, Ye Kai said to his mother: "Saoirsa can't understand our Sichuan language, she can only speak a little Mandarin."

"Oh, it's like this, it's nothing to worry about, our Mandarin is also very good."

Standard Trump.

However, Saoirsa's voice is much easier to understand than listening to the Sichuan dialect. After understanding this sentence, Saoirse felt much more relaxed, and wanted to pat her heart to release her previous nervousness.

"Saoirse?"

"Yes, yes, my name is Saoirse, Catherine Saoirse."

"How did you and Ye Kai meet?"

"We are...in..." She scratched her head, how do you say Potato Festival in Chinese?I forgot all of a sudden.

Ye Kai said: "It's an Irish festival. Saoirse is Irish. At that time, she was invited to perform songs at the festival. We met at this festival."

"Yes, the festival, the potato festival."

"Oh, so where will you live in the future?"

"in the country." Ye Kai said.

Although they haven't considered when to get married, the two have already discussed Saoirse's life after graduation. She will learn Chinese in the past few years, and by the way, see if she can come to Huaxia as an exchange student.

After graduation, Saoirse will start to develop her music career in Huaxia.

Saoirse has always had a desire to become a violinist in her heart, and she has released her first pure music album so far, which is well-known in Europe and America.

But it is incomparable with Ye Kai.

Even in Ireland, there are more people who know Ye Kai than Saoirse. The charm of Harry Potter is much greater than a few simple songs. Ye Kai is now a great international writer.

Ye Xiuqiang came out with a dish, saw several people still sitting and chatting on the sofa, and said:
"What are you still talking about? Grab the bowls and chopsticks and prepare to eat... Saoirse, come and sit down and try the dishes made by uncle."

The latter sentence is in Mandarin, don't look at him cooking in the kitchen, but he has been listening to the conversation outside, knowing that Saoirse can't understand the dialect.

Ye Xiuqiang speaks Mandarin very standard. No matter before or now, he is an entrepreneur. He often travels to other provinces on business. Speaking Mandarin can give his company a lot of points.

Because it was raining, it was dark even at noon, so Ye Kai turned on the light in the dining room.

Under the soft light, the rectangular table can finally seat four people. Li Meili's face is full of satisfaction, as if thinking about the day when she will bring her grandson and granddaughter...

It's too boring to be idle at home, and I don't really want to go to play cards, and it's not interesting to dance square dance.

She put a rib in Saoirse's bowl and said, "Come here, have a taste of this rib. Auntie went to the market early in the morning to choose it. It's fresh. Let's see if it suits your taste."

"Thank you auntie."

Saoirse pinched it, and the ribs slipped from the chopsticks into the bowl.She can use chopsticks, but she is not proficient with knives and forks. If she uses chopsticks, she will eat very slowly.
