"Aning, I heard that you were specially appointed to receive those foreign guests in York? Can you tell me how to win their favor?"

Xu Wanning explained patiently: "When I left Beijing last time, I happened to be on the same train as York and others. York's son James had something stuck in his throat, so I saved him using local methods, and we started to communicate with him."

"When I came to Beijing this time, the conductor of the last train told me that York had specifically asked me to receive them. I thought maybe it was because I saved James."

"That's it?" Tao Jingjing obviously didn't believe it.

She worked in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and was fortunate enough to participate in the task of receiving foreign guests such as York. However, those people in York were very picky. They listed many plans but he rejected them with one sentence.

It was only after her colleague Guo Haonan mentioned it that she realized that the Xu Wanning mentioned by York and others was the Xu Wanning she knew.

So Tao Jingjing has always wanted to seek experience from Xu Wanning, but she has never found a suitable opportunity before.

Xu Wanning reviewed the details of her interactions with York and her group, and told Tao Jingjing everything in detail.

"At first it might be because of my life-saving favor to James, but later he might like to eat the food I cooked, plus James can play with Song Han Jinchu. But more, it really doesn't matter. ”

Tao Jingjing carefully recalled what Xu Wanning said.

She didn't think there was anything special about these little things.

Westerners and Chinese people have grown up in different environments, so there is a big difference in how they treat others.

Take life-saving grace as an example. The Chinese believe that every drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring, let alone a life-saving kindness. This should be remembered for a lifetime.

But foreigners have obviously different ideas. The life-saving grace is indeed very important, but after York gave Xu Wanning money as a reward, but was repeatedly rejected by her, the friendship was over. Maybe Xu Wanning needs help later, and they don't mind helping, but they won't take it too seriously.

But now, York and others are full of praise for Xu Wanning, as if she is the best in the whole country.

Is it really because Xu Wanning's cooking is delicious?

"What did you make for them on the train that day?"

"Pork roasted with potato cubes, a piece of vinegared cabbage, oh, and a portion of egg fried rice."

"That's it?" Tao Jingjing was shocked: "Just this simple home-cooked stir-fry, and you captured them?"

"Theoretically, that's true."

Tao Jingjing grabbed Xu Wanning's hand and said, "Aning, because we have known each other for so many years, and because we are both Chinese, you must help me."

"Sister Jing, if you need any help from me, just ask."

……

The next day, Xu Wanning took Song Hanjin to the military area troops.

Originally, Xu's father wanted to find someone to drive to pick up the mother and son, but Xu Wanning refused.

Her reason was that she and the children would frequently travel between the army and the compound in the future, so both she and the children had to become familiar with the process of taking the shuttle bus as soon as possible. They couldn't bother people every time, right?

Although this was just a matter of words to Xu's father, Xu Wanning did not want the two children to develop a strong dependence at such a young age.

From the compound to the army, there are three buses every day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The whole journey only takes half an hour.

But Song Hanjinchu was obviously not used to taking the shuttle bus. They were in high spirits when they first got on the bus, but after a while, the two of them became distracted and huddled in the seats, their faces pale.

Xu Wanning held Jin Chu in her arms and let Song Han lean on her lap. She gently stroked his back with her hands, feeling very remorseful.

"I knew someone would send you off. Look at how annoyed you are. I feel sorry for you."

Song Han wanted to say that he was just not used to taking the shuttle bus, so it would definitely be okay to take it two more times.

But he felt like he was going to spit it out when he opened his mouth, so he held back and didn't move.

Finally, with the expectations of the mother and son, they finally arrived at their destination.

Xu Wanning simply hugged the brother and sister together.

As soon as they got off the car, the brother and sister, whose legs were weak, were holding on to a tree and vomiting.

I didn't eat much in the morning, and I didn't vomit much. By the end, I was just vomiting acidic water.

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't be so pushy. Or I wish I had prepared motion sickness medicine earlier."

Xu Wanning handed two small cups filled with hot water to the brothers and sisters: "Rinse your mouth first and then drink."

The brother and sister were very obedient and waited until the peculiar smell in their mouths dissipated before they drank the rest of the water in the cup.

Xu Wanning handed over the peeled apple again: "Take a bite and press it."

In fact, the best way to get motion sickness is to eat oranges, but now it is not convenient for her to take out oranges, so she can only make do with apples.

After the apples were eaten and the breeze blew for a while, the dizziness of motion sickness finally dissipated.

"Mom, we're ready. Let's go find Dad first."

"Okay, mom will get you some hot water when you get back and soak your feet."

Lin An was training at this time, so Xu Wanning did not disturb him and took the two children directly to his home.

As soon as she took out the key from her bag, the door opposite opened.

Aunt-in-law Yang and Chunfang had an argument over something unknown. The aunt-in-law and sister-in-law quarreled fiercely, and their faces turned red.

When Sister-in-law Yang saw Xu Wanning's family of three, she was stunned for a moment, then put on a decent smile and greeted Xu Wanning warmly.

"Xiao Xu is back? These two children look so much like you. Are they the children of you and Platoon Leader Lin?"

"Songhan Jinchu, greeting people."

"Hello, aunt." The brother and sister said in unison.

"So good." Sister-in-law Yang touched in her pocket, then smiled awkwardly, "Look, I was in a hurry when I went out, and I didn't bring anything to eat."

Chunfang rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Your home is behind you. How much time will it take you to turn around and go back to get it? If you don't want to give it, you just don't want to give it. Why are you making so many excuses?"

Xu Wanning almost laughed out loud.

This Chunfang offended people, no matter who she faced.

"Sister-in-law Yang, you're welcome. These two children just got over the motion sickness and can't eat anything."

"Okay, then I'll bring them snacks next time you meet them."

"Then let me thank Sister-in-law Yang first."

After saying hello to Sister-in-law Yang, Xu Wanning opened the door of her house.

Chunfang stretched her neck and looked into the room through the crack of the half-open door.

"You said this person is serious. It's been a few days since he moved in, and he hasn't even filled it with any new furniture. Look at the cold look in the house. How is it different from a guest house? Just move out if you don't want to live there. It's really occupying a latrine. shit!"

"This is originally a house assigned to people by the organization. How do they want to arrange it? What does it have to do with you?"
