Told others him to be happy on the difference directly. 安德森说道,今天他脸上始终带着笑容,没事还哼哼歌。就差直接告诉别人他开心。 The Han Xuan ravelling condition, asked Martinez on the quiet: „Anderson he how?” 韩宣弄不明白状况,悄悄问马丁内兹:“安德森他怎么了？” „Sherrill was pregnant , Kelly told us. He also thinks that we do not know, yesterday to the present is this silly type, wants to wait for some people to ask him, we did not ask, felt stifled he!” “谢丽尔怀孕了,嘘,凯丽告诉我们的。他还以为我们不知道,昨天到现在都是这幅傻样,想等有人去问他,我们偏不问,憋死他！” Martinez said bitterly. Even the pasture hired many female staff, he cannot go well, stemming from the envy of old hoodlum, most must not exposed to others show love. 马丁内茲恨恨道。即使牧场招了许多女员工,他还是没能得手,出于老光棍的嫉妒心理,最见不得人家秀恩爱。 „You are really bored.” Han Xuan wiped head perspiration, places in the grape the basket gently, sees the Anderson vision brilliant to look at itself, did not speak, returned to a smile to him. “你们还真无聊。”韩宣擦了把头上的汗,将葡萄轻轻放在筐里,见安德森目光灼灼看着自己,不说话,对他回了个微笑。 Anderson has food stuck in the throat, the supercilious look said: „No one cared that what I did have? Had not seen that I am smiling? Takes a look at this look!” 安德森噎住,白眼道:“就没人关心我发生了什么？没看到我在笑？瞧瞧这眼神！” „Rubbish, today must finish here. Works a bit faster.” Patton also joins in the fun, does not give the opportunity that he spoke, „ first pulled out a person to help from the orchard, Martinez, you called them. “别废话,今天要把这里忙完。快点干活。”巴顿也凑热闹,不给他说话的机会,“先从果园那边抽点人帮忙,马丁内兹,你去叫下他们。 Also must decide some oak barrels to come back, in warehouse was insufficient, John, you drive to draw these grapes, making one wash to pick cleanly, do not keep the stem.
