Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

After Tong Lele's car disappeared at the intersection, Dong Qiangqiang remembered that he should ask her what she thought of Volkswagens. For example, as far as she knew, there were not many people buying Volkswagens around her, but since everyone was gone, there was no point in asking her. He could only call and ask. Dong Qiangqiang called lazily, thinking to see if there was a Volkswagen 4S store nearby so that he could directly understand the market. However, he walked along the street and passed two traffic lights without seeing a 4S store. After asking around at nearby newsstands, traffic management, supermarkets and restaurants, no one had heard of a car shop nearby.

Dong Qiangqiang was half-heartedly preparing to walk to the subway. Suddenly he looked up and saw that he was already standing in the center of Haidian Pedestrian Street. This was the place he was most familiar with. He couldn't help but remember that he loved to walk around here in middle and high school. It has been almost ten years since I graduated from junior high school, and it seems like a fleeting moment.

The pedestrian street was almost the same as before he left. Across the road was the Haidian Book Building. He remembered the subjects he had to take exams for in his senior year. It would be better to choose a day that coincided with the day, so he decided to buy all the things he wanted to buy at once today.

He listed the economic reference books recommended by the professor on the paper one by one from his memory, and then clicked on the pictures to search. After he ran around upstairs and downstairs, he discovered that there were only a few English and German books recommended by the teacher, and the limited number of original English books were also extremely expensive, with each book easily costing several hundred dollars. The RMB is simply outrageous, and Dong Qiangqiang chewed his teeth just looking at it. Compared with the original book, the Chinese reference book is simply a bargain.

Dong Qiangqiang gritted his teeth and bought everything he thought he would need in the future. After buying, he realized that the cost of dozens of books had almost caught up with the price of a Kyocera camera.

He was walking downstairs carrying the trophies. When he passed a corner, he accidentally saw a row of neatly stacked CFA Chinese tutoring materials. They were priced at the same price, so he bought them without thinking.

Although the meeting with Dong's father was very unpleasant, Dong Qiangqiang achieved a lot in the whole day and did a lot of things. Even if something went wrong, he quickly let go of it and finally flew back. He couldn't have a quarrel with the old man before returning. Germany? No need.

Before going home, he went shopping in the community supermarket in the community. He had the habit of visiting the vegetable market in Hannover. Looking at the brightly colored radishes, cabbages, tomatoes, cucumbers and other fruits and vegetables made him feel particularly relieved. When I arrived in Trier, I was busy studying and shopping mainly focused on scenic spots. The fine tradition of visiting the vegetable market was no longer maintained. Now that I have returned to China, I naturally cannot let go of this opportunity.

He picked out a lot of dishes that his mother liked to eat, and also picked out a carp weighing more than 3 kilograms, and went home to cook fish and stir-fry for Mother Dong.

By the time the meal was served, it was already dark. Dong's mother called and said that she had just left the hospital and there was a traffic jam on the road. She asked Dong Qiangqiang if he had a place to eat. If so, he could eat first without waiting for her. In Germany, you eat alone every day, but when you return home, do you still eat by yourself? Dong Qiangqiang comforted his mother not to worry, and then took out both cameras and studied them carefully.

There was no lens in the box of the SLR camera, so Dongzi gave him an extra ordinary short focal length. Dong Qiangqiang thought that he could use it first, and then add a long focal length later.

He opened his notebook and compared the list of books he should read next semester with the books he bought. 80% of the books matched, which was a result that far exceeded his expectations. I have bought all the books available in Haidian Book Building. Next time I go to see Dong’s father, I will stop by Xidan Book Building to have a look. There will definitely be more books there.

It was past 19 o'clock and Dong's mother had not yet arrived home. Dong Qiangqiang checked his mail, but the mailbox was empty. He checked the university's official website again, but the test results were not available. Come to think of it, there are no offices anywhere in Germany on Sundays, and professors are not that quick to grade papers.

He checked relevant information on the Internet, but many German websites could not be opened. He thought he was fake connected to the Internet, but the modem light flashed as usual, and opening domestic websites was smooth, and he woke up as if from a dream. The information in the domestic news was calm. Dong Qiangqiang read it for 10 minutes. After reading it, he felt as if he said something or not at all. It made little difference whether he read it or not.

He got off the line, turned on the lights in the living room, and began to measure the length of the furniture in the living room, thinking about how to arrange it more rationally after the new appliances arrived. At this moment, the door creaked open, and Mother Dong came back.

Dong's mother looked quite tired, and Dong Qiangqiang felt very distressed. While Dong's mother was washing her hands, he got her a cup of hot water, and helped her hang up her coat and bag.

Dong's mother was obviously no longer surprised that Dong Qiangqiang could cook a table of meals, and she did not hesitate to praise Dong Qiangqiang's craftsmanship. But she stopped talking after a few words of praise, looking very worried. The movement of eating is also extremely slow, as if it takes a lot of effort to lift the arm.

Under the soft orange light, mother and son had their own thoughts.

Dong Qiangqiang understood that his mother didn't want to talk after being tired for a day, but the meal was too boring and depressing. While serving dishes to his mother, he said: "Mom, I ordered three big items in the mall today and they will arrive tomorrow. When dad comes back, After you are discharged from the hospital, you and your dad can watch the big TV at home. The big TV saves your eyesight. The big refrigerator can store and freeze. In winter, you don’t have to worry about buying too many things and there is no place to freeze them. You can wash a lot of clothes at once, saving effort, water and worry... "

As Dong Qiangqiang was talking, Dong's mother suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks, covered her face with her hands and sobbed softly. Dong Qiangqiang thought he had said something wrong and quickly changed his words: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Dong's mother cried: "I don't understand why your father is so stubborn and insists on driving you away. I persuaded him a few words and he got angry with me. He also said that if you don't go back to Germany right away, he won't recognize you." , if you go to the hospital again, he will sever the father-son relationship with you."

Dong Qiangqiang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and in his mind were images of his father reprimanding his mother when he tried to dissuade her. He could only comfort him with kind words. After a while, Mother Dong stopped crying and looked at him nervously: "Then are you leaving right away?"

At this time, Dong's mother secretly hoped that Dong Qiangqiang could stay at home for a longer period of time. She was not only afraid that Dong Qiangqiang would listen to Dong's father's words, but she was also afraid that he would be disobedient.

"Mom, it's not easy for me to come back once, and I don't know when I will come back next time, so I don't plan to leave right away." Dong Qiangqiang said while observing his mother's face, "But it may not be convenient for me to go to the hospital right away, so as not to Dad’s temper got so bad that he was so angry that he can’t stay angry now, it’s not good for his health.”

When she heard Dong Qiangqiang said he wouldn't leave, Dong's mother's anxious heart immediately returned to where it should be. As long as her son didn't leave immediately, she would be happy. As for whether her son went to the hospital every day to see that bad old man, she didn't think it was important. If one or two people meet and then quarrel, it would be better not to meet at all.
