Chapter 605 David's Visit (2/4)

When the wind chime at the door rang, Yang Yi was talking and laughing with Murphy and Xixi in their exclusive booth. If it were an ordinary guest, this would not attract their attention.

But Ding Xiang was greeting the guests in English: "good_ morning, what_ an_ i_ do_ for_ you, sir? (Good morning, sir, what are you going to come?)"

As a top student, Ding Xiang speaks English fluently, and does not feel nervous and hesitate. Even her pronunciation is very standard. Of course, when Ding Xiang was in high school in his hometown Yanye County, she was influenced by teachers who were not good at speaking English. Many phonetic symbols were pronounced inaccurately. It was only after she arrived in college that she practiced hard with the tape.

"There are also foreign guests?" Murphy was not surprised by Ding Xiang's English proficiency. She was curious about the visitor. Yang Yi's coffee shop was originally very remote, at least when she came to the store, she had never seen any foreign guests.

"Occasionally, some foreign teachers are invited at the school..." Yang Yi was still explaining to Murphy, and the guest's response 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...)" The person who spoke was Lu Weisha's father, David!

He finally found this coffee shop, but it was not easy to confirm whether this coffee shop was the one opened by Yang Yi.

The "Coffee Shop on the Corner" on the sign is a Chinese name, so David certainly can't understand it, and what Yang Yi gave him was the address, and there was no English name of the coffee shop.

After David came in, he looked around and couldn't see Yang Yi, which made him feel even more embarrassed.

Yes, Yang Yi's English name is Lyon! David tried to use this name to ask Ding Xiang, but how could Ding Xiang know that Yang Yi's English name is this? When the two of them were in a dilemma, Yang Yi finally came out to help them.

"David, are you here?" Yang Yi smiled and walked out of his booth, with a small tail behind his butt.

Xixi heard that Lu Weisha's father was coming, and thought Lu Weisha would come with her, so she happily followed her behind her. However, after the little girl jumped out, she looked left and right, but she didn't see her partner's back. Suddenly, the bright smile on the girl's face couldn't help but close. She looked at the adults with a little depressed and confused.

David was very happy to see Yang Yi. The troubles caused by the troubles and entanglements of the coffee shop just now disappeared. He greeted Yang Yi for a while and said he wanted to try the delicious freshly ground coffee that Yang Yi said.

"Leave him to me, the father of a friend in Xixi kindergarten, I know you. Go and do something else." Yang Yi and David are basically communicating in Swedish now, and they can also exercise their speaking skills. After saying a few words to David, he nodded to Ding Xiang next to him.

David was a guest and was also Yang Yi’s friend of coffee, so Yang Yi came to the bar and took out his new high-grade Mantening coffee beans last month, grind the beans for David and made coffee.

"This coffee bean is good, Mantening? I have never seen this fragrance, like caramel, but it is even more special and richer than ordinary ones." David took a piece of coffee beans and smelled it, unable to help but exclaim.

The coffee beans I bought were praised by coffee lovers, and Yang Yi was also proud and smiled proudly.

"Uncle David." Xixi finally couldn't help it. She got into the bar, hugged her father's legs, leaned against her father's waist, raised her little head, and plucked up her courage and shouted.

"Hello, xixi." David lowered his head and greeted Xixi with a smile.

But the little girl didn't continue to speak. She pulled her father's clothes and whispered: "Dad, you, can you ask Uncle David for me? Why didn't Lu Weisha come?"

"You can ask yourself!" Yang Yi encouraged.

"But, but I don't know what to say." Xixi was a little anxious and pulled her father's clothes and started to shake.

"You can ask Uncle David this way, 'Where is Lu Weisha?'" The last sentence Yang Yi used Swedish. In fact, Yang Yi taught Xixi a similar pronunciation, but Xixi has not yet learned to learn from one example.

David heard Yang Yi's words just now. Although he couldn't understand the conversation between the father and daughter at all, he could roughly guess Xixi's intentions.

Xixi repeated a low voice, but she felt that she was not speaking well. She was not as comfortable as talking to Uncle David, and she could say anything to her friends, and it would be fine if she said it wrong. But she still spoke to adults in language that she was not skilled in, so Xixi did not have the courage to do so.

"Dad, please help me!" Xixi pouted her mouth and said aggrievedly.

"Lu Weisha is at home, she didn't come with me." David couldn't bear to see the little girl in a dilemma, so he answered on his own initiative.

Xixi blinked her big eyes, not understanding.

David repeated it in English.

Xixi's English is better than Swedish, and this time she understood it. The little girl lowered her head in disappointment. She thought she could play with her friends!

"I'm sorry, I don't know that you are in the coffee shop, I should bring Lu Weisha here, she also wants to come out to play, but I don't know if it's appropriate to bring her out before." David said to Xixi in English with apologeticism. Looking at the little girl, David always felt that he had done something bad, which made the little girl feel wronged!

"It's okay. Xixi, come here, don't bother you. When you arrive in kindergarten, you and Lu Weisha can still play!" Murphy walked out at some point. She waved to Xixi and smiled slightly to David to signal.

"This is my wife, Murphy." Yang Yi introduced his wife to David.

After chatting for a few words, Murphy took the disappointed Xixi back to the booth to play, leaving Yang Yi outside to entertain guests.

After the coffee was cooked, David started drinking while it was hot. He was amazed just by smelling the aroma of coffee, and took a sip and even more praise.

"I see that Ding makes coffee for other guests. Although this cup is not as special as this one, she is also very attentive. Lyon, you are right. Your coffee shop is really good, and it is even better than the coffee made in some street coffee shops in Sweden!" David sighed.

Starting from coffee, Yang Yi and David started chatting from all over the world. Fortunately, Yang Yi has a wide range of knowledge and there is no obstacle to chatting with David's customs and customs in various countries.

"You should come to Sweden to have fun. Sweden is also a beautiful country. We are not only cities, but also beautiful forests and coasts..." David said to Yang Yi with a gaze.

"And there is also Stonehenge of Allah!" Yang Yi pointed at David, and the two of them laughed.

Finally, we have to talk about the child. Although David is not a qualified dad, it is just that he has failed in cooking. He still invested a lot of energy in taking care of the child.

"I think it's strange that as a corporate executive, how come you have so much time to spend with your children?" Yang Yi asked in confusion.

"In fact, we managers, like ordinary employees, all go to and from get off work on time. Unless it is very urgent and very important, I will not spend my time with my family on work! This is wrong, and 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 the high-income class has been greatly reduced, not much higher than that of ordinary employees. There must be a difference, but it is only a few times the gap, not the huge gap between a monthly salary of several thousand yuan and a annual salary of millions of yuan in China!

However, David was willing to accept such a high tax rate: "This is normal. The more tax I give, the more benefits I get, and this is also a guarantee for our children and the future of the country."

The systems of each country are different. It is impossible to say who is good or bad. Only what suits you may be the best! High taxes and high welfare policies may not be suitable for China's national conditions. After all, high welfare support for mediocre people is not seen in a certain industry.

Yang Yi was not interested in politics, but he was more interested in David's way of educating his children.

"You said you would study with Lu Weisha every night?" Yang Yi asked curiously.

"Yes, at least half an hour," David sighed, "I've been talking to some Chinese employees who didn't read 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 stayed in his parents' arms like a kitten, and then we read books under the warm desk lamp together. How warm it is? When they grow up, they will definitely be very happy to think of this memory!" David described this scene with a smile.

Yang Yi does not deny the happiness of such a scene, but he is just as happy to tell Xixi!

"But, can they understand those words?" Yang Yi frowned and said, "Is reading a little too far beyond their ability for children of this age? Like me, I tell stories to Xixi, and she is very happy to hear these stories."
