homestay已经达成了某种默契,知了只要回家吃饭,都会和Ava提前说一声,不发短信就意味着不回家吃饭了。
今天回到家已经挺晚了,但知了一走进厨房,就发现大家围坐在餐桌边,每人面前都放着一杯红酒。
Ava先看到了知了,她说道:“hi young man, you are home late, e hare and take a seat。”经过了两个月的homestay生活,知了已基本能听懂Ava的绝大部分言语了,只是表达还有些生涩。他归结为自己说的太少,需要变成话唠一样。
知了很自然地坐到了大姐旁边,满眼问号地看着各位,心想:“今天又不是周末,喝的哪门子酒?”
Ava忽然问知了:“J,Are you planning to move out?”
知了脑袋里的问号更大了:“what? No! I don’t have this plan. why do you have such concern?”
大姐连忙解释道:“Ella要搬去city住了,今天大家举行一个家庭欢送酒会。Ava喝多了点儿,就有点儿忧郁情绪了。”
Ava仿佛听懂了一般,接着说道:“Ella is moving out, and I hope you two will stay longer。”说完就看着知了和大姐。
大姐赶紧说道:“don’t worry, I will stay until finishing my IELtS test。”说完看了一眼知了。
知了慌忙跟了一句:“me too。”
Ava笑了起来:“Relax, I’m joking. both of you are adults, it’s your freedom to decide where to live in。”说完呷了一口红酒,接着说:“told you guys before, I’m planning to sell the house and move to a small town, you would be my last term of homestay children。”
知了之前听Ava说过此事,她越来越难以忍受奥克兰的嘈杂,尽管在知了看来这里安静的不得了。
知了回复了一句:“I have to say that homestay is much helpful for English learning, so I don’t have reason to move out。”
Ava像是抱怨一般说道:“but you always go out recently, I have no right to control your personal life, but I can image you should make many friends out there, and they are chinese right? I’m quite concerning about your English studying and IELtS test。”
知了听了脸一红,不知该说什么去解释。他最近确实除了上课说英语,下课就是和Steve与Richard在一起,回到家其他人都休息了,也没机会说。
