Niu Dazhuang gritted his teeth, and finally showed a dejected look like a deflated ball: "Alas, it can only be like this." ”

When he said this, he turned his head to look at Watson: "Son, tell Dad, how did you know Watson?"

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't want to reveal that he was going to study abroad for the time being, so he didn't have to make a lot of trouble in the city, and he needed to spend a lot of energy to explain.

"Dad, Professor Watson is a tourist in China, he can't speak Chinese, just arrived in Qingjiang and got lost, I met him by chance in the city, so I helped him as a translator, he felt that I was very reliable, so I asked him to continue to be a translator, let me take him around, experience the customs of our country, he promised to give me a sum of money, the right is a labor fee, after all, people are international friends, and willing to give money, so I agreed. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang glanced at Yu Simei as he spoke, and quietly glanced at Simei.

Yu Simei was the only person in the know, although she didn't know the specific situation, but as soon as she heard this, she knew that Niu Xiaoqiang was lying. In order not to show her stuffing, Niu Xiaoqiang could only remind her.

Yu Simei is not stupid, she understood when she saw Niu Xiaoqiang's eyes, and nodded slightly at Niu Xiaoqiang.

After hearing this, Niu Dazhuang showed hesitation: "Son, is your foreign language level so good?

Niu Xiaoqiang grinned and said: "Dad, didn't I often memorize foreign words when I used to work in the fields? ”

This is the truth, Niu Xiaoqiang was busy with homework all day long after he opened his mind, and he was not idle even working in the field, and he would always recite the words carefully with English textbooks.

Niu Dazhuang sighed: "That's really the case, then...... So how are you going to settle people? The conditions here are so bad, can Professor Watson get used to it?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled very easily: "Don't worry, Dad, Professor Watson is not a person who is greedy for pleasure, I told him about the situation here before I came, he only stayed with us for two days, and he is very happy to experience our life here." ”

Niu Dazhuang no longer had any doubts, and nodded: "Then you greet the guests, and I'll go back first." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sent his father to the entrance of the cave, waited until his father was far away before returning to the table, and instructed Simei and Wang Xiaoshuang sisters: "Please go and order delicious food, since you want to entertain distinguished guests, naturally you can't fool people with the food in the canteen." ”

The three of them hurriedly nodded in agreement, turned around and went to work.

There were only three people left at the scene, Niu Xiaoqiang, Fang Dongping and Watson, and Niu Xiaoqiang whispered to Watson: "Professor, you take a rest here first, and I will say a few words to my master." ”

Before coming, Niu Xiaoqiang had already made the situation clear to Watson, Watson knew what Niu Xiaoqiang wanted to say to Fang Dongping, and because he was worried that things would not go well, Watson couldn't help but remind: "You are so angry, try not to stimulate him." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded, and pulled Fang Dongping into the bedroom.

Fang Dongping's expression seemed a little complicated, he seemed to see something, but he was not too sure of his guess.

After entering the bedroom, Fang Dongping had no scruples, and directly raised his question: "Xiaoqiang, I'm afraid your relationship with Professor Watson is not as simple as what you told your father, right?"

Niu Xiaoqiang licked his face and smiled: "It is worthy of being a master, I can see the name at a glance, my relationship with Professor Watson is indeed not that simple, you sit down first, let's talk slowly." ”

Fang Dongping's bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, he nodded and sat on the edge of the bed, lit a cigarette and smoked it sullenly.

Niu Xiaoqiang said the encounter between him and Watson without reservation, and the more Fang Dongping listened, the more solemn his expression became. Niu Xiaoqiang knew the concerns in Master's heart, and immediately made his position clear after speaking: "Master, don't worry, I won't go to the United States for the time being, and even if I go, I won't stay there for a long time, and what I promised you will definitely not fall off the chain." ”

Fang Dongping has been with Niu Xiaoqiang for so many years, and he knows his character very well, he knows that Niu Xiaoqiang will not leave him alone, so he has no worries about the matter of providing for the elderly. On the contrary, he was worried that he would delay Niu Xiaoqiang's future.

"Xiaoqiang, I know your character very well, I don't worry at all that you will not be able to speak, but being able to study abroad is a very rare opportunity, I think you should take advantage of this opportunity, don't sacrifice your future because of Master, if the United States is more suitable for you to display your talents, then you will stay in the United States, Master will not have any opinions." ”

Fang Dongping said very sincerely, and at a glance, he knew that he was telling the truth.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled after hearing this: "Master, the conditions in the United States are indeed better, but it is not my home, not to mention that even if I want to develop, there is no need to stay in the United States, right? As long as you have no opinion, I will arrange other things myself." ”

Fang Dongping smiled and patted Niu Xiaoqiang's shoulder: "If you have more, Master won't say it, you are a smart person, just arrange it yourself." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang originally thought that it would take a lot of speech to dispel Master's concerns, but he didn't expect that the problem would be solved in a few words, he was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Master, let's go out and talk to Professor Watson, so as to save him from worrying." ”

When the two came out, they found Watson squatting in front of the earthen stove with a curious expression, constantly looking at the structure of the earthen stove. He had never seen such an earthen stove in rural China, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

Since he was on his side, the three women all looked very nervous, and they didn't even dare to say a word when cooking.

Since the others didn't understand English, Niu Xiaoqiang didn't hide it, and said directly to Watson: "Professor, the matter has been negotiated, and my master has promised me to study abroad with you, so you can rest assured, right?"

Hearing this, Watson threw the earthen stove aside, and laughed: "That's good, are you sure about the time to study abroad?"

"I've discussed this issue with you before, and I still mean that, and I won't think about studying abroad until I stabilize my career here. ”

Watson originally wanted to take Niu Xiaoqiang abroad as soon as possible, but when he heard this, he knew that this wish was unrealistic, so he had to nod: "Okay, I have already left you the phone number, and you will contact me after you settle it." ”

From the meeting until now, Watson has never formally greeted Fang Dongping, he walked up to Fang Dongping after speaking, stretched out his right hand very friendly, and said hello in his mouth.

Fang Dongping behaved very magnificently, shook Watson's hand with a smile, and said hello repeatedly.
