Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Although he went to bed late, Dong Qiangqiang got up early. On the one hand, he couldn't sleep. More importantly, he was about to set off again, which meant that he had only a few opportunities to perform filial piety in front of the family. He didn't want to miss every moment with his relatives. One minute.

Everything that needed to be said was said, and the mother and son quietly enjoyed a long-lost warm breakfast. Dong Qiangqiang made a list of the books he wanted to buy, and followed Dong's mother's reminder to bring Dong's father's change of clothes before going out.

Not long after he drove out, he received a call from the DMV, informing him that the new license plate was available. Dong Qiangqiang had no choice but to return home to pick up the materials, and then went straight to the vehicle management office. It didn't take long to install the new license plate.

Although he had no cough or fever, Dong's father still disagreed with Dong Qiangqiang entering the ward like Dong's mother. The father and son talked through the glass as they did for the first time.

Dong's father is obviously much fatter than when they first met, and his bulging cheeks even give people a faint sense of plumpness. Of course, it may be due to hormones. Dong Qiangqiang noticed that Dong's father's hair was grayer than before. many.

"It's the right thing to go back early," Dong's father was very pleased when he saw the ticket Dong Qiangqiang presented. He kept his words close to his heart when he was nice, but he still had the same tone as before, "Always remember that your top priority is your studies, but after graduation, Do not forget the love between children. Do you still remember what I told you before? A person's life should be a place where there is a suitable place for survival. Home is where you are now. You have to rely on yourself for everything when you go out. Find a way to solve it yourself. If you can't solve it, don't insist on it. Tell me and your mother, home will always be your safe haven."

Dong Qiangqiang felt mixed emotions and mixed feelings. He slowly bent down and bowed deeply to Father Dong at the door. He believed that he and his father were both prepared.

He guessed that Tong Lele was also in the hospital at this time, so he took the initiative to call the other party. He didn't want to owe Tong Lele food before leaving.

Tong Lele is indeed in the hospital as he expected, but unfortunately Tong's mother will have a consultation today. Different treatment plans will ultimately need to be decided by the family. Tong Lele really can't leave, but she can send Dong Qiangqiang to the airport tomorrow, and he will eat at the airport. Just a casual meal.

Dong Qiangqiang planned to drive to the airport by himself, and let Tong Lele help him drive home. If there were less cars on the way back, it would be okay to let Dong's mother drive home, so that Dong's mother could accumulate more experience, and Tong Lele would be there to take care of her. .

"It takes a little effort." Tong Le happily responded.

"I have one more thing to ask. I want to bring some gifts back. I may need to give them to others in the future, but I don't know what to bring."

"Send it to a commoner or an elder? For business or for daily life?"

"There may be all of them, such as landlords, university professors, and maybe partners in the future. They may even be users of Lebai. Any suggestions?"

"If you want to give less expensive gadgets, you can go to places like Tianyi and Tiancheng. There are a lot of good things, and there should be no crowds now. If you want to give more formal gifts to elders, you can go to Xiushui Street and Hongqiao in the Temple of Heaven. There are many traditional gifts with Chinese characteristics in the market, which is perfect for visiting relatives and friends. Friendly reminder, the pearl necklaces in Hongqiao are very good. ”

Although he is a native of Beijing, Dong Qiangqiang has no experience in buying these things. Facts have proved that Tong Lele's suggestion is very correct. In the end, he bought the four treasures of the study, silk and Chinese knots with high cost performance in Tianyi, and bought exquisitely crafted folding fans, snuff bottles and Peking Opera facial makeup bookmarks in Xiushui. 1-2 cm pearl necklace. Although the diameter of the pearl is considerable, the sphere is not smooth and round, and there are obvious traces of breeding in the middle. The threading and buckles are not gold or silver, but red thread and thin aluminum. The workmanship can be called rough, but the price is cheap. Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang bought a lot and didn't make much counter-offer, the seller left him his contact information and promised that if his purchase volume was large enough, there would be room for further negotiation on the price, which made Dong Qiangqiang feel like he had an unexpected gain.

Qin Youbo's house was easy to find. Dong Qiangqiang was originally worried that the Qin family might not welcome outsiders because it was an emergency period, but he didn't know that the two elders were extremely enthusiastic about the visiting Dong Qiangqiang.

Dong Qiangqiang took the initiative to mention that Qin Youbo brought things to his family last time, and he could help the Qin family bring them to Qin Youbo this time.

When they heard that Dong Qiangqiang could help bring things to Qin Youbo, the two old men were so excited that they couldn't express their excitement. Dong Qiangqiang didn't know why. After asking carefully, he found out that many of the things they had sent to Qin Youbo before were either lost, or the mailing procedures were cumbersome, and the various forms made the two elders confused, or the things they sent sent Qin Youbo directly to the customs police. In the end, the two elders had no choice but to give up.

As a thank you to his two elders and Qin Youbo, Dong Qiangqiang solemnly gave Qin's mother the pearl necklace he had just bought and not yet warmed up to express his gratitude.

It has to be said that the elderly Qin's mother's temperament improved a lot the moment she put on the pearl necklace. Seeing that she could handle imperfect pearls, Dong Qiangqiang was completely convinced of Tong Lele's vision and regretted not buying enough necklaces. Dong Qiangqiang has a steady demeanor, does not express too many emotions, speaks at a moderate speed, treats others politely, and has a good sense of proportion. Except for the fact that his hair is too long, everything else is in line with the image of an excellent man in Qin's mother's mind, but long hair does not give people the impression of a good man. Neither masculine nor feminine, Qin's mother's impression of Dong Qiangqiang became better and better.

She took Dong Qiangqiang to ask about his welfare and chat about various things. Less than ten minutes after Dong Qiangqiang sat down, Qin's mother was already asking about his birth date and horoscope and blood type, while Qin's father was concerned about whether he planned to immigrate after graduation. Dong Qiangqiang was not stupid either. There was a vague intention in choosing a son-in-law between the two elders, which made him unspeakably awkward and embarrassed.

After receiving the gift, Qin's mother even wanted to keep him for dinner. How dare Dong Qiangqiang eat the Hongmen Banquet? He was so frightened that he made up an excuse and ran away with the things the Qin family had prepared for Qin Youbo.

In the end, he didn't have the courage to meet Chen Yu's parents. He didn't know how to face the Chen family, and then he realized that he was actually a cowardly person.

When Dong Qiangqiang rushed home in the evening, Dong's mother had already prepared a table of new dishes waiting for him. He told Dong's mother about the embarrassing things he had experienced when he was watching the two elders of the Qin family as a joke. Dong's mother understood very well. No parent should worry about it. It is always a good thing that people like Dong Qiangqiang when it comes to his children's marriage. Besides, he has reached the age of dating a girlfriend.

Dong Qiangqiang could hear the implication of Dong's mother, and he was hesitant to introduce Du Lan to Dong's mother, and he was afraid that Dong's mother would worry. As he grew older, he had already understood that telling his parents everything would only make them more useless. Their troubles cannot bring them real happiness.

After dinner, Dong Qiangqiang rushed to wash the dishes. Dong's mother knew her son's thoughts, and while clearing the table, she said that Li Lei, the monitor of his university in China, called again today, saying that he originally wanted to meet Dong Qiangqiang at BJ to reminisce about old times, but something unexpected happened at home. , and never got around to it. He was going back to Germany at noon today, so he could only wait for Dong Qiangqiang to return to Germany before contacting him again.

Dong Qiangqiang had never liked this squad leader. He had always wanted to hide from him in Germany. He was happy to be in peace when the other party left. Dong's mother analyzed: Li Lei's tone was low when he spoke, and his mood seemed to be very low. He might have encountered some difficulties. If Dong Qiangqiang has no conflict with the other party, he should still care about the other party as a classmate. Dong's mother didn't know what Dong Qiangqiang was thinking. What she thought was that they were both in Germany and they were old friends. It was always a good thing to take care of each other. Dong Qiangqiang was too lazy to explain too much. He finished washing all the dishes and started arranging various matters after he left Beijing.

First, he confirmed that Dong’s mother knew how to dial up the Internet, knew how to use chat software, and could correctly attach photos and videos to e-mail attachments. To complete the last task, Dong’s mother needed to know at least three things: First, connect the digital camera to the computer Connect correctly, then transfer the photos from the camera to the computer, and finally paste them as email attachments. After all, Dong's mother was an old man, so she was in a hurry as she wrote, memorized and operated. Coupled with various emergencies, such as the camera not being recognized after being connected to the USB interface of the computer, she was in a hurry. If it were in the past, Dong Qiangqiang would definitely be impatient with this, but now he is extremely patient. He knows very well how important Dong's mother is to their family. It is this thin network cable that can travel thousands of miles away. Outside of that, he reads with peace of mind.

After Dong's mother finally mastered the method of attaching parts and how to deal with common faults, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, Dong Qiangqiang put all the car-related documents in front of Dong's mother, telling her where to go to refuel, who to contact for vehicle maintenance, how to get insurance if there was an accident, and if he didn't come back in time, Dong's mother would help her do it. For the annual vehicle inspection, of course, if Dong's mother really couldn't do it or was too busy, Dong Qiangqiang also found foreign help: If Tong Lele was still in the country by then, she would have to trouble her. In addition, Dong’s mother needs to contact the neighborhood committee as soon as possible to apply for a parking space in the community.

As for the house in Tiantongyuan, the most important thing for Dong's mother is to get the real estate certificates for the three houses as soon as possible. He has paid the property fees for two years at a time, and he has also paid all other fees. If there are other temporary charges, he has to rely on Dong. Mother.

Dong Qiangqiang felt hungry again after talking all night, so Dong's mother asked him to take a hot shower first and took advantage of this time to cook him a bowl of hot soup noodles with eggs, vegetables and bacon.

Seeing Dong Qiangqiang, whose hair was longer than noodles, burying his head in eating, Dong's mother felt happy and uncomfortable at the same time.

Perhaps because he was leaving home again, Dong Qiangqiang only felt that the food cooked by his mother was always better than his own. When he looked up from eating, he saw Dong's mother looking at him in a daze with tears in her eyes. Dong Qiangqiang was also sad: "Mom, why are you doing this again?" Cried?"

Mother Dong turned her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand: "I've only been back for a few days and I'm leaving now..."

"Mom, I will come back to see you and dad every year from now on, I promise." Dong Qiangqiang put down the bowl and chopsticks and put Dong's mother's hand in his palm, "In the future, when you miss me, I will take more videos and photos of you and dad and send them to you. Me, I send you messages often.”

Only then did Dong's mother stop crying.

Only then did Dong Qiangqiang remember that he hadn’t taught Dong’s mother how to use the download software just now. Lebai and Chanchan both had network space. He could upload the video to the website and send the download link to Dong’s mother, so that Dong’s mother could watch it often as long as she knew how to download. To him, even if the video file is large, there is no need to worry. It just means that the download is slower, but no matter how slow it is, there will be a day when the download is completed.
