Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

"The last time I drank this, I haven't graduated yet, and now..." Zheng Chunhua held the steaming wine glass in both hands, stared intently at the liquid inside, and after a few seconds of silence, she suddenly asked without end, "Why did you originally? Coming to Germany?"

Dong Qiangqiang stared at Lao Bai and Tong Lele not far away, unaware of her words.Due to the increasing number of tourists, the two have stopped arguing, but their unhappy emotions could not dissipate as quickly as the heat, especially Tong Lele, whose face was as ugly as the hazy sky in winter.

Tong Lele is generally recognized as having a good temper. After knowing her for so long, this is the first time Dong Qiangqiang sees her arguing with someone, and that person is old Bai.He was both surprised and surprised: what did the two people who were fine just now say that this happened?Did the old white say something that shouldn't be said?
Both of them were good friends he met after he came to Germany, and they were good friends after he matched them up, so he had a vague sense of responsibility and thought that he should be responsible for the well-being of the two of them.

He was a little uneasy, hesitating whether to go over and muddy the mud, although he knew very well that if he appeared in front of those two people at this time, it would actually be three people who would be embarrassed.

Just when he was thinking about it, he heard someone call his name and subconsciously replied "I'm fine", but even he wondered what he was answering.

"Did you hear what I said just now?" Zheng Chunhua asked suspiciously, noticing that Dong Qiangqiang was a little absent-minded.

"Hmm...Listen, I heard..." Although Dong Qiangqiang said so, in Zheng Chunhua's view, he didn't seem to hear his question just now.

Just as Dong Qiangqiang was looking at the two people not far away, a group of men and horses dressed in apparently traditional German clothes beat and happily broke into his line of sight.

The four strong men walking at the front of the team worked together to carry a dark brown wine barrel that looked very heavy. The wine barrel was larger than the gasoline barrel. wine.

Behind the strong man is a group of musicians, and behind the musicians is almost in the middle of the team is a blond woman with a golden crown, a tall stature, and a red cloak on her shoulders. There were still words in their mouths, and the tourists on both sides of the team with wine in their hands all held up their wine glasses, shouting "Queen! Queen!" from their mouths, and then began to chorus again. For a time, people cheered and clinked their glasses. The voice, chorus, music and the whistling wind were mixed together enthusiastically. When the singing was excited, some people even lifted the wine into the air, and made a strange cry of schadenfreude when the wine fell.

"She is the German mulled wine queen of the Trier Christmas market this year, and is responsible for promoting hot drinks such as Trier wine." Zheng Chunhua introduced beside Dong Qiangqiang, "This spokesperson is chosen every year, and she has been elected for three consecutive years. An amazing girl who is also studying at the University of Trier, and her family does this."

These people were busy for a few minutes before continuing to move forward. When they passed by completely, Lao Bai and Tong Lele were no longer where they were standing.

Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help getting up and looking around. After searching for about a minute, he finally saw her again in front of a stall full of biscuits, jams, honey, cheese, sausages and spices. Disappeared, that face looked extremely pale against the surrounding lights, and looked preoccupied, and Lao Bai was not by her side.

"Hey, you two are actually here!" With an exclamation, a tall figure appeared in front of the two of them. Before Dong Qiangqiang could speak, Zheng Chunhua, who was sitting in a chair, got up and raised his glass in response: "Ms. Yulia .Merry Christmas to you!"

It was Dong Qiangqiang's landlord Yulia who came.

"Unfortunately, I still have to work, otherwise I will definitely drink with you." Yulia regretted for a few seconds and immediately thought of a solution, "Or you can come and accompany me for a few more drinks tomorrow."

"No problem." Zheng Chunhua asked. "Tonight is Christmas Eve. Do you still need to work? Or do you have a stall in the market? Then we must go to join us."

"I don't have a booth here, only the work of the church." Yulia's face showed a kind light, "Christmas is a festival of caring for each other, and the church will hold various grand activities during Christmas every year to help those who are unfortunate. And those in need, conveying God’s love for the world and Christian values ​​to them. I also have to coordinate and communicate with other church members and different charitable organizations about charitable activities, such as setting up exhibitions. In short, I’m very, very busy.”

"I can imagine your hard work." Zheng Chunhua admired from the bottom of her heart, "Ms. Yulia, not everyone can do what you do, you are a kind person."

Seeing Yulia and Zheng Chunhua chatting happily, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly realized that the other party was his savior, said "I'm sorry I'm going to the bathroom", and hurriedly left the two and went straight to Tong Lele.

If he was asked to choose someone from two people, he would be more inclined to ask Tong Lele.

The queue of the mulled wine queen was very long, and it was inconvenient for Dong Qiangqiang to go straight through, so he had to patiently walk to the end of the line.

He tried to call Tong Lele's cell phone, but the other party never answered, so he had to continue searching in the crowd.

The old town where the Christmas market is located is shining brightly under the warm Christmas lights. It seems that there is a golden light everywhere, and he can't help scolding the street: Are Germans not afraid of light pollution at this time?

Just when he finally locked on a girl who looked like Tong Lele's back again, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind and shouted at him, "Merry Christmas!"

When Dong Qiangqiang turned his head, he realized that standing in front of him was a guy tightly wrapped in a hat, mask, scarf and down jacket.

"Merry Christmas." Dong Qiangqiang didn't recognize the other party for a while, so he could only ask politely, "May I ask who you are?"

The other party pulled the mask to his chin, revealing his entire face. Only then did Dong Qiangqiang recognize that the other party was Feng Chong, who had been in contact with him before.

"Just you?" Feng Chong asked.

There was a lot of noise all around. Dong Qiangqiang could only see Feng Chong's mouth moving but couldn't hear what he said. He put his mouth next to the other person's ear and said loudly, "I can't hear you clearly. Say it again."

"Did I say you're going to visit here by yourself? Would you like to come with us?" Feng Chong exclaimed in Dong Qiangqiang's ear.

Only then did Dong Qiangqiang realize that there were several blond foreigners behind Feng Chong.

"They are all your friends?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.

"Yes, they are all my students, all of them learn Chinese, and they all praise your forum for doing a good job."

After Feng Chong finished speaking, he turned his head and said to the people behind: "Everyone, pay attention, that Chinese forum was created by this guy alone."

Foreigners came together and praised Dong Qiangqiang in non-standard Chinese.

"It's not worth mentioning the effort." Dong Qiangqiang said politely.

"Come with us." Feng Chong invited again.

"Thanks, my friends are all over there, I'll go look for them right now, you can eat and have fun." Dong Qiangqiang politely declined.

After the two sides said goodbye, Dong Qiangqiang turned his head to look in the direction where Tong Lele was found just now, but found that the back disappeared again.

Just when he was at a loss, Feng Chong jumped back to him again: "The university may have two classes of Chinese as a foreign language during the winter vacation. Can you teach Chinese in German?"
