Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 900 Chapter 900: Fear of being close to home

ICE carried Dong Qiangqiang down the Moselle River and flew firmly towards Frankfurt.

Since Dong Qiangqiang drove between Hannover and Trier when changing cities, he had never really appreciated the scenery along this journey. Now he has the opportunity to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Moselle River at sunset in spring. It feels wonderful.

The Moselle River flows quietly to the south, and the initial scenery is just like the scenery on both sides of the river in Trier: large-scale, idyllic terraced vineyards at stunning angles on steep slopes, almost vertical The land extends upward, and below the vineyards are rural towns of varying heights and colors, like oil paintings, and castles flashing by on the hills in the distance from time to time.

It was almost 19 o'clock, and the sunset, which was about to set, sprinkled its last rays on the vineyard without reservation. Pink and purple clouds filled the entire sky, and a pale white crescent hung slanting on the hillside above the river bank in the distance. From the top of his head, he gazed gently at the world.

The dark golden elves are jumping rhythmically on the river, and a small cable car is slowly gliding above the river. Under the sunset, the Moselle River is in the foreground, and the woods on the hills are hidden in the background. The looming castle and the flickering lights in the castle are fascinating.

As the river gradually opened up, more and more cargo ships and small cruise ships with colorful flags appeared.

The green mountains and green waters continue to recede, and the shore is no longer the monotonous terraced vineyards. Instead, there are alternating open cultivated fields, groups of cattle or sheep, and low hills and mountains undulating like waves. The jade belt that stretches among hills and woods seems to be the famous German wine highway.

Just as Dong Qiangqiang was carefully admiring the window, his eyes suddenly went dark. In less than two seconds, the ceiling lights all turned on, but the train entered a tunnel.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces in the car window and listening to the regular rumbling in his ears, Dong Qiangqiang had a lot of thoughts.

I don’t know what BJ’s current (military) situation is like. He made the decision to return to China in a hurry. He did not discuss it with his parents in advance. He knew that Dong’s mother had always wanted him to go back. Only Dong’s father had been opposed to his hasty return to China. He also felt unsure. I don’t know what kind of reaction his father, who has always been opposed to his return to the country, will have when he sees him. He may be happy or angry, so no matter what excuse he uses, he must find a good excuse for his return to the country this time, even if it is to lie to Dong’s father. He also needs to get over this. After all, he didn't fly more than 8000 kilometers just to go back and quarrel with his family to get angry.

The answer plan was prepared very quickly: first of all, all his exams for the last semester have ended, and there is still nearly a month until the start of school. However, he has been busy with his studies from last year until now, and is exhausted physically and mentally. In addition, he has never returned to China after going abroad. , so there is an urgent need to return to China to recharge.Although the test results would not be released until before the start of school, Dong Qiangqiang felt that he had passed the test. If Dong's father asked, he decided to insist that he had passed it, which would be an explanation to Dong's father.Secondly, his parents have always been in poor health, and he was already worried about it. Now he has encountered such a thing as (military) love. As the only son in the family, he cannot abandon his parents and ignore them. He is usually busy with studies and has nothing to do, but now During the holidays, he couldn't really feel at ease without seeing his parents safe with his own eyes, and he felt very sad. If it was delayed until the next semester, it would definitely affect his concentration in study and be detrimental to his studies. Dong's father was always worried about it the most. It was family affairs that affected Dong Qiangqiang's studies, so it would be absolutely wrong not to return to China.In the end, he only stayed in the country for a week and it wouldn't affect anything.If the situation is really more serious, he will return to Germany as soon as possible.

In addition to facing my parents, there is also the matter of freezing the account that just came up this afternoon. Listen to the other party's legal counsel and my own lawyer and just submit Lebai's tax payment certificate and Zaichan's transaction certificate to the bank. There should be no problem. I thought He felt speechless when the Germans were so strict with harmless students like him.He didn’t know how long it would take for the account to be unfrozen after submitting the materials. As long as it could be unfrozen, he was going to remit part of the money to China as soon as possible. It happened that while the account was not unfrozen, he went to the domestic bank to ask to see if the domestic account could accept foreign transfers. Is there any limit? If you don't get fined or have your account frozen by the domestic bank, you will lose more than you gain.He had never thought before that it would be so troublesome to go in and out when he had too much money. He didn't know about these things when he was poor. Now he understands that people will always face different levels of troubles.

As for Trier Customs, they have randomly checked him twice, and the results were normal. Logically, there should be no more blood and urine tests in March, but no one can say for sure, so he can only take a gamble. , secretly praying that the customs would never contact him again during the week of his return to China.Thinking of all the uncertainties, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but feel ups and downs in his heart and feel uneasy. For the first time, he experienced the uneasiness described by previous literati when people who have been away from their hometown for many years suddenly face their hometown and old friends. He didn't know if this was what people often call the feeling of being close to home. cowardly.

Just as Dong Qiangqiang's thoughts were spinning a thousand times, his eyes suddenly lit up. The train pulled out of the tunnel, and outside the window was an intoxicating dark blue. At this moment, an announcement came from the announcer above his head: Koblen Ibara City is coming soon.

Koblenz is very close to Trier, but don’t look at the distance. Dong Qiangqiang has never set foot in Koblenz before to taste its culture and appreciate its landscape. He only has a rough understanding of Koblenz’s background. , of course, there is a reason for this because he is busy with studies, but on the other hand, people are always used to neglecting the scenery close at hand. They always think that there are plenty of opportunities and time to travel, but they put it off day after day.

Like Trier, Koblenz is also an ancient cultural city with a history of thousands of years.

In 1815, after the Congress of Vienna transferred the Rhineland region of Coulterier to the Kingdom of Prussia, King Friedrich Wilhelm III ordered the expansion of Koblenz into a fortified city and built the largest fortifications in Europe at the time. one.

The name of Koblenz comes from the Latin "Castellum apud Confluentes", which means "the castle at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers", so the German folk proverb goes: The two rivers of the Rhine and Moselle gave birth to Cobb Lenz.

The unromantic Germans have given it many titles, such as Wine City, Fortress City, Event City, and Conference City.

The speed of the train slowly slowed down, and in the dusk, a brightly lit station stood in front of Dong Qiangqiang.

The location where the train stopped was ideal. All Dong Qiangqiang could see was the back of a huge bronze statue. To his left was a dark green river, and to his right was a dark blue river.

So this is the German Corner, he said to himself.
