It was the first time that his parents came to Paris. Fang Yi would not immerse himself in painting during the day anyway. Instead, he took his two relatives to visit Paris together. However, this was also Fang Yi’s first time visiting Paris, and he took on the job of a tour guide.
My son did a terrible job. Usually when he goes to a scenic spot, he stops like this, and then he says: Mom and Dad, this is the Eiffel Tower. Mom and Dad, this is the Arc de Triomphe or something like that. There is no historical background at all.
Having said that, Fang Yi can't be blamed for this. Fang Yi himself didn't know how to explain it to his parents. It wasn't until Beronica came back from Spain a few days later that the situation improved greatly. Every time Beronica arrived
Each scenic spot will introduce to Fang Guohua and Yu Qin in detail the history of some scenic spots, or the special historical events that occurred in these scenic spots.
When traveling, of course, taking some photos is indispensable. Fang Yi is quite good at this. The family took photos of almost all the famous attractions in Paris. Of course, they also visited the Palace of Versailles and the Champs Elysées.
in the directory.
For a whole week and a half, during the day, the young lovers Fang Yi and Beronica accompanied Fang Guohua and Yu Qin to travel around Paris.
Naturally, Beronica left a very good impression on both Fang Guohua and Yu Qin.
"Xiao Yi! Come here, Mom has something to tell you!" Yu Qin and Beronica finished clearing the dishes together, took off their aprons and said to Fang Yi, then turned around and walked towards their house.
Fang Yi followed her mother into the room and asked casually: "Mom, if you have to tell me something in secret, even if you tell her directly, Beronica won't understand!".
"Xiao Bei, don't you like the dishes I cook? You have only eaten one or two vegetarian dishes in the past two days, and the braised pork and the like have not been touched at all, and they have all gone into your stomach!" Yu Qin asked her son:
"It's hard for such a big man to eat such a small amount in one meal. My body can't bear it. Please advise Xiao Bei to eat more. The child is a little too thin!"
Fang Yi listened and said with a smile: "She is not used to eating Chinese food for such a long time. It's too oily! It's good to have one or two meals like this once in a while, but she can't stand it if she eats it often. I'm not the one who made some of the side dishes you made.
Do you want to put less oil in it? This will do. When you and my dad are not here, we can just mix some raw vegetables or something and add some salad dressing to make a meal!".
Yu Qin curled her lips after hearing this: "It's all raw. How can it be delicious? I don't have any appetite for that thing!" Yu Qin has seen the vegetable salad made by Beronica. That thing is not suitable for ordinary Chinese people.
It's really uncomfortable for me. The vegetables are all raw, just chopped and mixed with some food and eaten.
"Why are you worrying about this when you have nothing to do! I'll go out when there's nothing to do?" Fang Yi said and wanted to turn around.
Yu Qin immediately took her son's hand: "We will leave the day after tomorrow. Xiaobei has been with us for so long, and it is quite hard. I want to give her some gifts before I leave! You can give her some.
What’s good?”.
Fang Yi thought for a few minutes: "I really don't know what she lacks!". The two of them live together now, and they really don't lack anything. They have everything they should have.
Yu Qin thought for a while and said: "How about buying some jewelry or clothes or something!".
"That's okay! You and Beronica can go together tomorrow!" Fang Yi nodded after listening to his mother's words, then took out his wallet from his pocket and took out the card: "Take this. The password is my birthday.
!".
"I have money!" Yu Qin pushed away his son's card and said, "Your father and I have saved all our money! You don't have to pay for these things!".
"Take it!" Fang Yi patted the card into his mother's hand: "My card doesn't need to be exchanged at the bank. Besides, I haven't bought these things for Beronica yet!".
"That's fine!" Yu Qin said as she put away her son's card.
After the mother and son discussed it, Fang Yi turned around and left the room. In the evening, Fang Yi told Beronica about the matter and asked her to pick whatever she liked.
On the morning of the next day, Beronica took Yu Qin to Kuang Street together. As for the communication issue, a few sentences were enough anyway, such as how is this, how is that, yes or no.
It can be dealt with.
The mother and her girlfriend went out on the street, and Fang Yi and his father sat next to the TV, watching TV and chatting. At first, they thought that the mother and his girlfriend had nothing to do, and they were just buying things if they liked them! Who knew something might still go wrong.
"Son! Why can't Xiaobei look at anything well?" Yu Qin said to her son on the phone: "Some of them look good to me, and she seems to like them too. But she always says NO, NO, and I
I just can’t figure it out!”.
After hearing this, Fang Yi opened his mouth and said: "Just let her choose. You can just be a mobile wallet today!".
"Okay!" After hearing this, Yu Qin said a few words to her son and then hung up.
Fang Yi had only been sitting on the sofa for less than ten minutes when he heard his cell phone ringing again. He picked it up and saw that this time it was not his mother. It was Beronica calling.
"What's the problem with you again?" Fang Yi asked his girlfriend on the other end of the phone.
Beronica opened her mouth and said: "Your mother always wants to buy some more expensive things. Some things are really too expensive. I can't accept it! This is not good! A coat costs more than 2,000 euros. She also wants to buy it as a gift.
I".
Fang Yi sighed after hearing this and said: "Two thousand euros is just two thousand euros, just think of it as a gift from me!". There is something wrong with the habit here again. In Yu Qin's opinion, it is a gift for the future son.
A daughter-in-law must be more expensive to show that her family values her, and
Beronica here is not used to accepting such valuable things right away. Beronica is not a pure Chinese. What kind of future daughter-in-law receives red envelopes or something like one thousand, six hundred and eight hundred?
I'm so happy. Something went wrong here.
"Whatever my mother thinks is good, you should buy whatever you think is good!" Fang Yi said directly on the phone: "Don't worry too much about the price, just think of it as a gift from me! If it doesn't work, give it to my mother.
Buy some too, you won’t suffer any loss this time!" He told Beronica about Chinese people’s habits. Anyway, they always take money out of Fang Yi’s pocket. After saying that, he put down the phone in his hand.
Fang Guohua looked at his son and asked: "What's wrong with these two people!".
"Because of the price, Beronica thought my mother's choice was too expensive, and my mother thought that Beronica's selection was too affordable. That's all." Fang Yi put away the phone and sat down next to his father.
Said next to me.
"You are living a good life here. We feel relieved after seeing it. Your mother and I would both be thinking about it if we weren't in China. Your mother has always said what kind of meat you like to eat, and she doesn't know if you can eat authentic Chinese food abroad.
"Fan, now it seems that worrying is in vain," Fang Guohua said.
After hearing this, Fang Yi said: "Whenever I'm hungry, I always make a little bit of it myself, but I don't make it often. Beronica isn't used to eating it!".
After shopping around for the past few days, Fang Yicai discovered that there are indeed many authentic Chinese restaurants in Paris, which serve authentic Chinese food. Whether you want to eat Sichuan, Shandong, or Cantonese cuisine, you can almost find it in Paris.
.A restaurant that Fang Yi tried, a plate of Huai
Yang Fried Rice is only a few euros! Authentic Chinese food in famous restaurants in Paris, such as Capital Canteen, Fu Yuan Feng, and Meridian are all very authentic Chinese food. The price is definitely not what you get from street stalls, and the number of people who go there to eat is very high.
There are also foreigners among them.
The Shandong restaurant recommended by French gourmet Jean-Pierre is an authentic Shandong cuisine.
The kind that is so cheap that it tastes off, just like domestic fast food. How can we say whether this thing is authentic or not?
"Anyway, everything is fine with you here, so your mother, me, and your uncle can rest assured!" After Fang Guohua finished speaking, he leaned on the sofa, looked at his son, and asked, "How many years do you plan to stay here and return to China?".
Fang Yi shook his head and said: "I'm not sure about this! Because I'm about to sign with an American gallery! When I return to China depends on the gallery's arrangements. If the works sell well, I will go back a few years later. If the sales are not very good, I will go back a few years later."
Well, maybe I can go back in three or four years! If I become famous, it’s really hard to say!”
Regarding the matter of returning to China, Fang Yi really couldn't give his parents an accurate answer. Zou Heming had heard about ten days before Christmas that he wanted to sign a contract with Fang Yi. In other words, all of Fang Yi's works would be sold by his gallery in the United States.
When launching into the market, of course things like art exhibitions will also be involved. It doesn't mean that everything will be easy after signing with a gallery. Next, you have to cooperate with the gallery's promotion and attend some art exhibitions.
"Well! We don't know much about these painting things. Anyway, you can make up your own mind!" Fang Guohua nodded to his son and said.
The father and son talked for almost an hour and a half before Yu Qin and Beronica opened the door and walked in.
Fang Yi looked at the two people holding large and small bags in their hands and said with a smile: "Why did you buy so much!". Emotions tell you not to care about money, so you just buy like this?
Yu Qin said with a smile: "I bought two pieces for Xiaobei, and then Xiaobei bought two more for me. That's all. Do you think my coat looks good?".
"It looks good! It looks good!" Fang Yi smiled and nodded. Now both Beronica and her mother are wearing new coats. Almost all of them have changed their coats. Mother looks better than what she was wearing when she first arrived.
She is much more fashionable. She wears a coat, a towel, and a long scarf, and she also wears sunglasses on the bridge of her nose. It looks like Beronica's dressing style.
After looking at the clothes for a while, the family was busy cooking and other things.
After eating, Yu Qin started to get busy again, making some food for Fang Yi, so that Fang Yi and the two could eat for a week after they left.
They were busy until noon of the next day, when Yu Qin stopped. In the evening, Fang Yi and Beronica drove Fang Guohua and Yu Qin off to the flight back home.
"Your mother makes so many things!" Beronica said when she returned home and looked at the refrigerator full of things.
"Eat slowly!" Fang Yi opened his mouth and said. His parents leaving so suddenly made Fang Yi feel a little uncomfortable and felt a little reluctant to leave.
