Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

The day before New Year's Eve, Tong Lele successfully landed in BJ.

Lao Bai went to pick up the plane. He wanted to discuss the business with Tong Lele after meeting, and then lay the groundwork for her and Dong Qiangqiang to drop the shares. communicate.

Unexpectedly, less than 5 minutes after the two met, he saw Tong's father and Tong Lele's cousin Tong Ledan appearing at the airport in a hurry.

Although Tong Lele invited Lao Bai to have lunch with her and her family, Tong's father did not show any enthusiasm for his prospective son-in-law, not even any politeness on his face.

The instinct of observing words and deeds told Lao Bai: Tong's father obviously didn't want to give up the time when his daughter just landed after returning to China.He had no choice but to tell Tong Lele at the airport: If there is a chance, it is best to visit Dong Qiangqiang’s parents during the Chinese New Year. But Dong's mother rejected his kindness on the grounds that both Dong's father and Dong's mother were in the hospital and it was inconvenient to visit him. He could only pin his hopes on Tong Lele.

After receiving Tong Lele's consent, Laobai waved goodbye to Tong Lele's family and embarked on the return trip to his parents' house.

Seven days passed by in a flash, and Lao Bailin received a call from Tong Lele before going out on the morning of the eighth day. The two people's visit to the Summer Palace in the morning was temporarily rescheduled to the afternoon.Tong Lele didn't say the reason, and Lao Bai didn't ask either.

There are five gates in the Summer Palace: East Palace Gate, North Palace Gate, North Ruyi Gate, South Ruyi Gate and Xinjian Palace Gate.

In the afternoon, Lao Bai specially arrived at the Beigong Gate 10 minutes earlier, but Tong Lele was still not seen after the appointed time.He was not in a hurry, and while smoking a cigarette, he repeated in his mind what he should say after the meeting. After waiting for another 10 minutes, he received an inquiry call from Tong Lele. Only then did he know that he should go to Beiruyimen .

Fortunately, the distance between the two doors was not too far. After walking for 10 minutes, Lao Bai saw Tong Lele, who was wearing a sapphire blue long down jacket, waving at him from a distance.

The two greeted each other when they met, and because Lao Bai had something on his mind, he specially observed Tong Lele.

What made him feel strange was that during the Spring Festival holidays, people usually put on a few pounds, but Tong Lele lost a lot of weight. Although she couldn't see whether she was fat or not through the down jacket, her cheeks were visibly deflated. People's complexion is not very good.

Lao Bai saw it in his eyes, felt pain in his heart, and immediately gave her a bear hug.From a psychological point of view, hugging can improve blood flow, thereby relaxing the body and mind and reducing stress.But what made him even more strange was that although Tong Lele, who was hugged by the bear, did not refuse, she did not show much joy either.

Tong Lele, who was familiar with the Summer Palace, led Lao Bai into the garden, and walked south along the promenade between the southern foot of Longevity Mountain and the north shore of Kunming Lake.

Perhaps because of the Spring Festival holiday, there were few tourists playing and walking in the park, and the huge park seemed extraordinarily empty and deserted.

Although it is not the first time for Lao Bai to visit the Summer Palace, it has been more than ten years since the last visit. He thought that Tong Lele would do his best to be a landlord and tell him the legend of the Summer Palace. Talking too much, led him straight to the direction of the Seventeen-Arch Bridge and hurried all the way.

The sun was hanging obliquely on the upper left corner of the White Pagoda of Yuquan Mountain. Although it was still some time before evening, there was no warmth in the air.Because of the low temperature, the snow that fell before the Spring Festival has not completely cleared away. The cold and bitter north wind blows the aroma of pines and cypresses on Longevity Mountain and the remaining snow from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, blowing across the icy Kunming Lake like a mirror, and flying towards the further distance. The Seventeen-Arch Bridge spanning the East Causeway and Nanhu Island ran swiftly.

Just halfway through the long corridor, Lao Bai felt hot all over his body.He threw the scarf and gloves into the bag, and halfway down the zipper of the down jacket, bent down, put his hands on his knees and panted heavily: "Hey, I can't keep up."

Hearing Lao Bai's complaint, Tong Lele, who was walking in front of him, couldn't help but turn around and half-mocked himself, half-jokingly: "I want to tell you that this is an occupational disease of being a tour guide, isn't it a bit of a trick?"

"It was okay when I didn't go back to China," Lao Bai got up and pointed to his stomach with a smile, "I've been fat these days during the holidays."

"I'm sorry I forgot about this." Tong Lele suddenly came to her senses, and slowly walked back to Lao Bai's side, asking with concern, "Does your foot hurt again?"

Lao Bai wanted to hold her hand: "It's not that delicate."

Tong Lele smiled and walked towards the white marble fence beside the lake, but Lao Bai had no choice but to step up and follow.

The ice surface reflected the Buddha Incense Pavilion, the trees on the shore, and the reflections of nearby pavilions. Lao Bai saw some staff checking the thickness of the ice in different places of the ice rink, and others cleaning and maintaining the ice surface .

"I heard that the most suitable place to enjoy the snow in the Summer Palace is the West Causeway, where you can see the most beautiful golden light piercing through the holes." Lao Bai was at a loss for words, "Do you want to take a walk (to the West Causeway)? Take a few photos."

The wind on the bank was very strong, and Lao Bai silently watched the girl whose hair was blown to pieces by the wind but still kept her eyes on the front and didn't speak. He thought about which thing he should start with first so as to cause the least harm to Tong Lele. Shouldn't we start by greeting the bodies of Dong Qiangqiang's parents?At this moment, Tong Lele suddenly spoke.

"I've thought about it for a long time. I want to think about getting married again."

Lao Bai was taken aback by what she said. Although he also planned to postpone the wedding, and this was the most important thing he wanted to communicate with Tong Lele today, he didn't expect that this word would come from Tong Lele first.What made him even more puzzled was that since the two had similar thoughts, he should be able to accept each other's thoughts peacefully, but unexpectedly there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

The astonishment caused his brain to short-circuit for a moment, and it took him a few seconds to react: he always thought that marrying Tong Lele was a certainty, but he didn't know that the other party didn't think so.In addition, Tong Lele obviously didn't mean what he wanted to express just now.Tong Lele's wording is not "I want to discuss something with you" or "I want to pause for a while", but "I want to think about it again", that is to say, she is hesitating or she has already regretted it.

Lao Bai knew very well that he was not ignorant of her hesitation.

He was speechless for a moment, and there was only whimpering between the two of them.
