After chatting a lot, Xia Yunjie knew that the boy's name was Xie Simeng.Nowadays, it is common to go back to China once in one to two years.His grandparents are still in China, his father came to Italy 20 years ago, and his mother came 15 years ago.At that time, the Chinese restaurant was just starting out, and he didn't have the energy to take care of his son, so he lived with his grandparents in China until he was five years old, and he also learned Mandarin at that time.After the age of five, his parents brought him to Italy, where he attended a local kindergarten, learned the local language, and now speaks Chinese, Italian and a little English.However, because Chinese is not formally learned, it can only speak but cannot read and write.Xie Simeng's family is still Chinese national, but because they have been in Italy for a long time, they can sign a free return visa for five to ten years at a time, which is also convenient.As he spoke, an Italian woman, who looked pretty good, was about twenty-three or fourteen years old, entered the carriage to check the ticket.Xia Yunjie handed her the ticket, but was told that his ticket was not perforated, that is, the ticket inspection at the domestic station, and the woman told Xia Yunjie that he would be fined 40 euros."
I didn't ask for a hole punch before I took the train from Rome to Florence, but the ticket inspector didn't say that I violated the rules, so why should I punch holes here again?"
asked Xia Yunjie puzzled."
The last time you took the bullet train, it was a ticket for one person, and if you missed it, it will be invalid.But this is a slow train, there are no location rules, and the ticket is valid for several months, so you can ride it at any time, and we have no way of knowing if you are reusing it if you don't punch a hole in the automatic ticket gate.You see, there is a reminder behind this ticket. ”The ticket inspector looked at Xia Yunjie with a hint of doubt and said.Obviously, although her words were euphemistic, the meaning could not be more obvious, that is, she suspected Xia Yunjie of evading the ticket.Xia Yunjie looked through his train ticket and found that there were a few lines of very small English words written on the back, reminding him that he needed to punch holes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, these different countries and different cultures are really different.In China, in the past, someone would check your ticket before you got on the train, but here Xia Yunjie didn't see the ticket checker at all, and thought that everyone here was abiding by the rules, so there was no ticket check-in procedure, but I didn't expect that you need to punch it yourself, and the validity period of the train ticket is also very long.However, the front of the train ticket in Italy is all written in Italian, not even English, Xia Yunjie has not thought about it carefully, so there was a misunderstanding.Although the ticket inspector's questioning made Xia Yunjie a little unhappy, since he violated other people's regulations because of his own negligence, Xia Yunjie could only abide by other people's regulations and was ready to accept punishment.Forty euros is equivalent to a day's work for ordinary Italians, Xia Yunjie doesn't care about this money, Xie Simeng is distressed, and hurriedly explained to the ticket inspector in Italy.Although Xia Yunjie couldn't understand Italian, he could roughly guess that Xie Simeng was telling the ticket inspector that he was a tourist coming to Italy, and he didn't know this regulation, so he didn't want to evade the ticket.But obviously the communication was not very smooth, because in the end, Xie Simeng shrugged helplessly, and then said to Xia Yunjie: "She said that although she believes that you didn't mean it, she still wants to fine you, but if you are a foreigner without knowing it, she can only fine you half, that is, twenty yuan, I can only help you so much." ”Xie Simeng's words surprised Xia Yunjie, and the surprise was not that the ticket inspector finally took a step back, but that Xie Simeng was able to negotiate with adults with a very independent attitude when he was young for this kind of thing, and finally obtained a part of the "discount"."
That's already very good, you can help me save all the money for lunch and dinner."
Xia Yunjie smiled and took out his wallet, ready to pay."
Aida, this gentleman definitely didn't deliberately evade the ticket, so you don't have to hold on to him."
Just as Xia Yunjie was about to pay, an old man sitting diagonally across from him suddenly said to the ticket inspector in Italian."
Grandpa, how do you know that he must not have deliberately evaded the ticket?"
asked the woman known as Aida, the ticket inspector."
That man is the ticket inspector's grandfather, and he's talking for you, maybe things are turning around."
Xie Simeng saw that the old man was helping Xia Yunjie speak, and couldn't help but explain to Xia Yunjie in a low voice with excitement.Xia Yunjie also guessed that the old man was talking for himself at this time, and couldn't help but look at the old man curiously when he heard the words, he was really a little strange why he wanted to help himself speak, and he had the impression that he didn't know this old Italian "because he was wearing clothes designed and made for him by Scola himself." ”The old man said."
Scola, are you talking about your former colleague Scola, how is this possible" Aida obviously knew who Scola was, and her eyes widened in surprise when she heard this.Her grandfather was a former tailor who never made a name for himself in the fashion industry and is now retired to retire at home, but one of his colleagues is now a true master in the fashion industry.Countless upper-class aristocratic ladies wanted him to design and make a dress himself, and her grandfather's colleague was Guqi Fashion Design Director Scola.Of course, the two are very different now, and there is almost no contact, but his home still has a photo of him and Scola when he was young, and he likes to talk to people about him and Scola, which is his pride.A passenger who can wear a costume designed and made by Scola himself can't care about a ticket of a few tens of euros.Of course, Aida is more surprised that how can Scola personally design clothes for a person of Xia Yunjie's age, and the other party is still a Chinese to know that when Scola has such an identity, he will rarely personally help someone design or make clothes, and celebrities and nobles and celebrity dignitaries in Italy and around the world are all proud to have a dress that Scola personally designed for her or him, in other words, Wearing clothes that Scola personally designed for her or him has become a status symbol.And now Xia Yunjie, a young man who was suspected of fare evasion by Aida, was wearing the clothes that Scola designed and made for him."
I understand Scola so well, he likes to leave his own mark on the right sleeve or right trouser tube of the clothes he makes, a small "", how difficult it is to find without paying attention, this mark is known only to those who really know him, and don't you think this gentleman's clothes are natural and elegant to wear" Aida's grandfather explained, with a hint of smugness and pride on his face that revealed the truth.According to his grandfather's words, Aida stared at Xia Yunjie's right sleeve carefully, and sure enough, he found a "" letter embroidered with a color that was very close to the color of the clothes material, but there was a little difference.It is impossible to notice this letter without anyone deliberately reminding it and looking closely."
Do you know a man named Scola, who seems to have been a colleague of the old Italian before?"
Xie Simeng obviously doesn't pay much attention to things in the fashion industry, of course, this is related to his age, gender and the industry he is engaged in, he has not heard of Scola's name, and secretly said to Xia Yunjie when he heard the rumors."
Yes, a tailor."
Xia Yunjie nodded with a smile."
That's right, the old man said that the clothes on your body were made for you by Scola, and that there was his mark on the sleeve, so he recognized it.But to be honest, you're wearing a really good outfit and it looks so handsome. ”Xie Simeng showed such an expression and said in a low voice."
Why do you like it" Xia Yunjie's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and asked with a smile."
Hmm."
Xie Simeng nodded."
If you really like it, I'll call Scola and ask him to design one for you, and by the way, let him try your Chinese food.I think he should be happy to do it. ”Xia Yunjie said with a smile, he thought of celebrity benefits.Xie Simeng knew how to help himself enthusiastically at a young age, although it was only twenty euros, Xia Yunjie still accepted his affection very much.If you can pull Scola to their restaurant for dinner, it should cause a little bit of a sensation."
No, no, it's expensive to ask a special tailor to customize clothes."
Xie Simeng hurriedly waved his hand in a panic when he heard this."
It's okay, I'm friends with Scola, and he'll be happy to design and make clothes for you for free, as long as you give him a piece of Chinese food."
Xia Yunjie said with a smile."
Our family runs a Chinese restaurant, that's absolutely no problem, and I will also cook a few good dishes and cook for him at that time."
Xie Simeng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard about the free customization, and hurriedly said."
Sir, do you know Scola" As soon as Xie Simeng finished speaking, Aida finally came back to her senses and asked in a low and polite voice, looking at Xia Yunjie's eyes also changed significantly."
yes, it's a friend."
Xia Yunjie nodded."
Aha, you're a friend of Scola's.I'm a former colleague of Scola, my name is Bernardo.Scola has been okay lately, and I haven't seen him in a long time. ”Seeing Xia Yunjie nodding and admitting, Old Bernardo couldn't help but get up excitedly and take the initiative to shake hands with Xia Yunjie, and his face seemed to suddenly have glory."
He's fine, he's still as romantic as ever."
Xia Yunjie shook hands with Bernardo and said."
This old pervert" Bernardo scolded with a smile, then pointed at Aida and said, "This is my granddaughter Aida, I think there must have been a misunderstanding between you just now, but now the misunderstanding has passed." ”"No, it's my negligence, Miss Aida gave me a fifty percent discount, and I'm already grateful."
Xia Yunjie smiled and waved his hand, then took out twenty euros and handed it to Aida.Aida looked at the twenty euros handed over by Xia Yunjie, and her pretty face turned red for a while.
