Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

873 Chapter 873. Moving forward in tangled and restless

Dong Qiangqiang doesn't know astrology, let alone Mercury retrograde, he only knows that he is very annoying throughout January.

He was so annoyed that he couldn't read the books, he was so annoyed that he didn't care to do the questions, and he couldn't even arouse his interest in "Diablo 2", which he had been neglecting to play because of his busy studies.

After coming to Germany, his road to study was not smooth, but even though he encountered so many troubles and obstacles before, he never had the idea of ​​returning to China to adjust.Not only that, he never even thought of going back to China to visit his parents.From the perspective of traditional Chinese moral theory, he believes that he must belong to the kind of person who is selfish or even unfilial, but he does not feel guilty or guilty because of this. People who are not going well and want to go back to China every day are completely different. Living under the wing of his parents for more than 20 years made him have a more urgent need to stay away from his parents and seek personal independence.

But this time the situation is different.

When he received his mother's call, he had the idea of ​​going home immediately. Even if he saw his father on the sick bed, he could rest assured and go back to college to prepare for the exam immediately.Otherwise, if the father made a mistake, he, as a son, would not go back to fulfill his filial piety, how would he face his conscience in the future?
Although the time of the final exam has not yet been announced, Dong Qiangqiang is very confident. This is mainly because what he really wants to take this semester is "Basic Theory of German Public Law", and there is no closed-book exam at the end of the other seminar. Just submit your thesis on time and give your dissertation presentation.He had already finished writing the thesis before Christmas, and his Italian classmate Sophia helped him revise it, and he spent money to find the senior students in the department to revise it again. He is confident that the thesis will be fine if it is approved by the teacher, but the score is high and the score is low. The difference, and he also asked Zheng Chunhua that the test scores of all subjects in the primary stage of the master's degree are not brought into the advanced stage of the master's degree, and it has nothing to do with the final master's graduation grades. It will only have a certain impact on his search for internships in the advanced stage of the master's degree.

He also thinks clearly about things other than the exam: going back quickly will not only affect the review of the exam, but it may also be affected by previewing the class content of the next semester during the winter vacation.Dong Qiangqiang started going to the library every day in late December last year, and soon he found that, near the end of the semester, more and more books recommended by teachers reappeared on the bookshelf.He was worried about long nights and dreams, so when he was tired of reviewing during the day, he frantically copied one after another, and quickly printed dozens of copies.In this way, even if he cannot return to Germany immediately after returning to China, at least he can have books to read at home, so as not to waste time.

As for part-time jobs, Lao Bai’s German tour group is definitely gone, Lebai only has sporadic business groups left. Although he has no problem taking business groups now, Dong Yiqing, Lao Ding, Lei Lanting and others are all eagerly looking forward to it. In the future, everyone knows the situation of too many monks and too little food.Dong Qiangqiang is not interested in competing with his friends for jobs. It's not that he still has tens of thousands of euros lying around in his account, but that he has never bothered to do so.If they return to China, they will be able to help their friends, otherwise they will have to be courteous to each other.

Dong Qiangqiang sorted it out again, and after making sure that he had no major omissions, he quickly bought a return ticket, and then told Dong's mother: He can come to Beijing before the Spring Festival, so that he can visit his father and not delay the exam. Reunion, parents can rest assured.

But Dong Qiangqiang's idea was opposed by everyone except him. Unlike in the past, there was no one who supported him this time.

Dong's father and Dong's mother were the first to strongly oppose his return to China.

Especially Dong's father, although he is still in the ward and cannot personally educate his son, but Dong's mother's report can also make Dong Qiangqiang understand that his father is very reluctant to see him return to China at this time.Although my father was seriously ill, his mind was clear and his legs and feet were still nimble, so he didn't need to take care of him, and my mother didn't even hire a nurse.The three meals a day for the two of them were taken carelessly in the hospital cafeteria. If he went back, Mother Dong would have to cook three meals for him besides taking care of Father Dong, which made him even more tired than now.Although he has no problem cooking by himself now, he still needs to review and preview.When a mother loves her son dearly, how could she be willing to let him cook?What's more, visits are prohibited in the hospital. Even if he goes back, he can't say whether he can see Dong's father.If he couldn't see Dong's father, but only occasionally saw Dong's mother, what difference would it make if he didn't go back?Although the son is a comfort to the old couple at home, he can't help anything when he goes back, and he adds to the parents' worries that delay the child's study. How can parents be really happy?
Father Dong specifically mentioned another concern of his: According to what Dong Qiangqiang learned, the German Ministry of Health has advised Germans not to travel to China in the near future, so who knows whether Germany will tighten or even close the window for recent trips to Germany? ?These are all bad things to say.In case Dong Qiangqiang could come back but couldn't get out, and missed the exam, wouldn't he be a sinner as a father?Although Dong Qiangqiang can spend another semester rereading, isn't this a waste of time?
Dong's father's generation had a lot of experience, and the analysis was not completely unreasonable.In addition, Dong Qiangqiang also heard rumors in the circle that the large-scale cancellations of tour groups to Germany were not due to the unilateral voluntary abandonment of domestic travel agencies and tourists, and were also related to the cancellation of a large number of domestic tourist visas by the German side.If this is the case, who can say that Dong's father's worries will not come true?
Dong's mother also said: Dong Qiangqiang doesn't need to worry too much, although the situation is severe this time, but the husband and wife are of the same heart, and their benefits can cut through gold.And as far as she knew, Qin Youbo was not allowed to go back, and her family was afraid that she would not be able to go abroad again.Dong's mother advised her son to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, don't think too much about what he has, and call frequently is enough.

Whether he was persuaded by his parents' optimism or moved by reason, Dong Qiangqiang knew that he had never passed the test of his parents.

However, Dong Qiangqiang had big ideas before going abroad. If he wanted to go back, the opinions of his parents were not the most important thing to him, but what he had to consider were the suggestions of the friends around him.

In fact, Dong's father's worry is also the worry of Lao Bai, Tong Lele, Duanmu and other friends. After all, there is no precedent for this kind of thing. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Dong Qiangqiang was speechless after being persuaded, and became more irritable. He could only laugh at himself that the longer he went abroad, the less courageous he became.Lao Bai reminded him: Even if you don’t care about the exam, don’t forget that the German customs are still restricting you from leaving the country. If you run away suddenly at this time, you will be really blacklisted.

As soon as this reason came out, Dong Qiangqiang knew that he really couldn't go back.Although the customs said at the beginning that he should go to a designated institution for blood and urine tests, it has been a month since the incident and no one has contacted him. According to Murphy's law, it is really impossible to say that the other party's phone was called after he left.

What comforted him was that both Laobai and Tong Lele would go back this time.

Unlike Dong Qiangqiang, Lao Bai and others have all graduated. To put it a bit harshly, it doesn't matter if they can't come out for a while after returning to China.

Dong Qiangqiang had to entrust Laobai and Tong Lele to help him visit his parents when he returned to China.He specifically told Lao Bai that if something happened to his parents, Lao Bai must contact him as soon as possible, and it doesn't matter if he can't come out after going back.

Life at the beginning of the year was like a stubborn goat, knocking him to the ground, and being unable to return to China made him feel angry, but he couldn't find a punching bag.

Du Lan, who was also preparing for the exam, soon felt Dong Qiangqiang's emotional fluctuations, but she also had no other skills, so she could only call him to enlighten him: Since I can't go back, it is better to prepare more fully and comprehensively for the exam, and do more printing and previewing. be more solid.If you still have energy and time after doing these two things, try to find a way to save more money.After all, it is not convenient for Dong Qiangqiang to come back in the first quarter, but until the Easter holiday after the next semester starts, Germans usually have four days off, and last weekend is six days. If Dong Qiangqiang can arrange his homework properly, he can Use this time to go back to China for a week. By then, the exam will be passed, and the new lessons will be understood. I will not have to worry about going back to China. I will bring money to go back to see my parents. My parents will also be discharged from the hospital and need supplements. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate?Now he must not be messed up, many things are waiting for him to complete.

Thanks to Du Lan's suggestion, although Dong Qiangqiang was irritable, he was not in a hurry. He proceeded step by step according to the plan he made at the beginning of the semester.

Dong Qiangqiang, who finished the last public law class, was happy and sad: the happy thing is that the test papers from previous years can be found in this class, but the sad thing is that there are no answers in the test papers.Just like what the professor said in his introduction at the beginning of the semester: For the final exam, the professor neither focuses on the key points nor guides everyone to review. In short, there may be test sites anywhere.

Fortunately, he made preparations in advance. First, he carefully studied the test papers over the years, and made high-frequency statistics on the possible essay questions according to the frequency of occurrence. Then he took the answer ideas he had compiled and had the cheek to ask the German students who attended the class together. , and even pay to buy answers summarized by others.In the end, he summed up by himself, consulted professors and assistants, and bought answers to old test papers, and sorted out the answers to 20 essay questions in total.

From mid-to-late January, except for going to the library to copy the textbooks for the next semester, he basically does not go to school. He drinks coffee when he is sleepy. Instead, he can concentrate more on reviewing without internet at home.

When you get tired of memorizing public law, you can switch to memorizing papers for speeches. When you can’t memorize both, you can go out for a run, or learn how to grow flowers with the landlord, or simply do a yard cleaning.

He always pays attention to relevant domestic reports, and calls his parents and Lao Bai Tong Lele from time to time to find out the situation.

On the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Zheng Chunhua found him.Only then did he remember that he had promised the other party to be the host of the university's Spring Festival Gala, and he also had a program.

Dong Qiangqiang was neither in the mood nor had the time to prepare for the show, so he had a hasty recitation of poetry.The students were all kind and applauded enthusiastically, only Wang Yun and Chen Xiaofei booed.

When he got off the stage and was preparing for the next curtain call while watching the program, he unexpectedly saw a familiar name.
