Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 962 962. Adversity is the normal state of life

Dong Qiangqiang's enthusiasm was poured cold water on Dou Tou. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and knew that the landlord's thinking was often quite different from his own. This was the landlord's understanding of life. It was just like her who suffered from wild boars every now and then. Still turning a blind eye to the danger, he still encountered it for the first time.

"No problem, Ms. Yulia, I understand what you mean. I won't catch them. I just hope they can stay in the forest. What about the camera?"

"Actually, the hunters who came here before also suggested that I install cameras, but I was worried that the installation might damage the structure of my home and make it weird, which I would not be used to, so I didn't consider it."

Dong Qiangqiang has heard this reason once, and this time he is not surprised. The old lady insists that he can only respect it, so he makes a suggestion. If the landlord adopts it, everyone will be happy. If the landlord doesn't like it, just ignore it. There is no need to worry about it.

Just as Dong Qiangqiang was about to leave the kitchen and go back to the house to pack the things he would bring for the next day, the landlord suddenly asked: "Dong, I saw a research institution on TV saying that people become sick because of eating bats, pangolins and civet cats." Sick, do you agree with this statement? Do you also eat these animals?”

"What did you eat?" Dong Qiangqiang didn't understand any of the three words the landlord said. The landlord repeated it again and he was still confused. The landlord had to find a pen and paper and draw the outlines one by one. Only then did Dong Qiangqiang roughly understand what the other party was asking.

"I don't agree." Dong Qiangqiang had heard the question raised by the landlord countless times after returning to China, and he was already familiar with the answers to similar views. "First of all, I have never eaten the three things you mentioned, and I don't plan to eat them in the future. . Secondly, I don’t know the specific research results of the research institution, but as far as I know, neither the World Health Organization nor the Chinese medical community or the German medical community has officially announced the exact cause of SARS. The rumors in the market are mostly based on rumors. It is too unscientific and too hasty to speculate that people will definitely get SARS after eating a certain animal. As for the three animals you mentioned, I don’t know much about bats and pangolins, but they are mentioned in the Chinese classic "A Dream of Red Mansions". There once appeared a dish called "Wind Pickled Civet". Chinese people have eaten civets for hundreds of years without any problems. Why are civets the culprit of diseases today? In addition, civets are not unique to China. People know how to eat them. In Asia, Thailand and Japan also have a tradition of raising civet cats for people to eat, and SARS is not seen in these two countries.”

Dong Qiangqiang couldn't pronounce the three new words very well, and he didn't even know how to say "bake civet" in German, so he could only make up "roasted civet" to fool him. At the same time, he regretfully found that his German skills could not translate the original meaning at all. The charm of the dish name.

The landlord squinted his eyes and stared at Dong Qiangqiang's face for a long time before slowly saying: "No matter what, humans should still get along well with animals. The way to get along with animals and nature is the way of life."

What the landlord said was quite Zen-like. Dong Qiangqiang knew that the other person was trying to hit him with his words, but from the balanced relationship between wild boars and nature to the Chinese eating bats and civets, the landlord’s brain circuit was also amazing, if not The other party protected him like an old hen protecting its young and blocked the neighbor away. Dong Qiangqiang was really good at talking back: Then the Germans eating turkey and roast goose on Christmas is a balance between man and nature? Turkey is not an animal? Isn't this a proper double standard?

But Dong Qiangqiang could only keep these words in his heart. Although it would be nice to say it back, if the other party got angry and angry, he would pack up and leave. Forget it, endure the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the world. Ah Q thought that he was not as experienced as the Germans.

After struggling for more than a day without rest, Dong Qiangqiang finally returned to his room and lay down on a hard brown mattress. At this time, he felt physically and mentally exhausted. Thinking of setting out again the next day, he simply did not unpack his luggage and only packed the toiletries. I put my laptop and organized materials into my bag, then charged my SLR camera. I looked at the ceiling and thought about what Lao Bai asked him to help me during the day. After hesitating for a few minutes, I got up and dialed Sun Tao's phone number. cell phone. Probably because they hadn't spoken to each other for a while, Sun Tao was quite surprised to receive a call from him, and he was very concerned and greeted him with greetings. But after the canteen incident, Dong Qiangqiang felt that Sun Tao was not as close as before when they were in Hannover and Hamburg. He felt an indescribable strangeness towards Sun Tao and was used to keeping a distance unconsciously. He didn't mention what he saw and was confused about when he returned to China. He only said that the furniture docking work was going smoothly and Sun Tao could rest assured. Then he naturally asked about the matter entrusted by Lao Bai. Sun Tao said in a business-like manner that such matters were not his responsibility, but if He would pay attention when there was an appropriate opportunity and told Dong Qiangqiang to concentrate on his studies and not waste time and energy on irrelevant matters.

Dong Qiangqiang relayed Sun Tao's reply to Lao Bai. Lao Bai could also hear the other party's politeness and perfunctoryness, but he could only express his understanding. Dong Qiangqiang also said that his previous experience as a furniture intermediary was now settled. Since the ins and outs were clear to all, Dong Qiangqiang directly said that he needed a company that could issue invoices and asked if it would be possible to use Lebai’s domestic company. If so, How many tax points will he pay? Lao Bai asked him to contact Tong Lele directly, and said that Tong Lele would be responsible for all domestic affairs in the future. Dong Qiangqiang didn't mention a word about the Seven-Country Tour, as if he didn't know that Lao Bai was leaving the day after tomorrow.

Before going to bed, he wanted to make another round-up call to the friends he had not contacted in the afternoon, especially Feng Chong. Although he didn't know what he could and should say, and he was afraid of quarreling with the other party, but escaping was not an option. , after all, he was the one who introduced Lu Wei to Feng Chong. Feng Chong didn't know whether he was avoiding him on purpose or didn't see his phone ringing, so he didn't answer the call. Dong Qiangqiang held his mobile phone, his eyelids and head became heavier and heavier, and he finally fell asleep.

Although Chanchan had a German company and official website, and Dong Qiangqiang also had a business card prepared for him by Duanmu in advance and a letter of introduction issued by Anderson, he was still rejected as expected and did not even enter the main entrance of a German listed company.

Duanmu didn't seem surprised by this result, and there was no hint of frustration in his words. He only asked Dong Qiangqiang to collect peripheral information as much as possible, and then go to Hamburg before returning to Trier. Dong Qiangqiang asked what he couldn't talk about directly on the phone. Duanmu mysteriously said that he had something to interview with him. Dong Qiangqiang didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but he could only do what he said.

Dong Qiangqiang quickly collected all the information needed for the outside world. On the way to Hamburg, he received a call from Lu Shan: Lu Wei did not return to Hannover, and no one answered his call, but Lu Wei texted back and said that she did not want to be detained during this period. Excuse me, based on the experience of Lu Weiwan disappearing last time, Lu Shan felt that his sister might prefer to be alone. Since he can be contacted, there should be no problem. Dong Qiangqiang can also rest assured. Then he mentioned that Li Lei, who used to harass him so far, They didn't contact him again. The BJ Association in Li Lei's Lane seemed to have been silent for three months without any news of any gatherings. However, someone told him that something had happened to Li Lei's family. He asked Dong Qiangqiang if he knew the inside story.

He had just come out of the Hamburg train station and was about to get into the subway. Wang Shunan, whom he had not contacted for a long time, called him. The first sentence was a foul language, and the second sentence was a lament that the German medical profession was really not learned by humans. It turned out that her first-semester master's degree exam was extremely unsatisfactory. Although she only applied for three subjects, she failed in all three subjects. No one was spared. She has been preparing to take the make-up exam during the winter vacation, so she has no time to go back to Hannover to work. However, there are very few local job opportunities, and hourly jobs with a monthly salary of 400 euros are very rare, so she has been eating up her savings. If you have no income, you can only reduce all non-essential expenses. When you go out, you can only take public transportation and walk. You can only answer calls on your mobile phone but not make outgoing calls. After all, it costs no money to answer calls. Try not to stay at home during the day and just review in the library. It is warm, saves electricity, and can also access the Internet. , it is also convenient to check information. I turn on an energy-saving lamp when I get home at night. There is no TV or Internet at home, and I dare not turn on the heater. The word natural gas pops up too fast. Although it will be just as cold inside and outside the house without turning on the heater, the advantage is People who are cold are shivering but not sleepy, and their reading effect is better than during the day. When they are really hungry, they drink coffee. Because of the pressure, a lot of hair falls out, because they often wake up from the cold in the cold night. Sometimes I wake up mid-sleep due to too much pressure, and I can only sleep an average of two or three hours a day. But when I think about making up for the exam in the first semester, I really don’t dare to be careless. After all, I finally got a chance to study. Now that I have completed two make-up exams and only one is left, I am much less stressed, so I dared to call Dong Qiangqiang. She used to think that working in a nursing home was tiring, but now she realizes that being a student is even worse. She just hopes to endure hardships today, and not to be a master in the future, but to be worthy of her efforts. She envies that Dong Qiangqiang can quickly start the advanced stage of master's degree studies, and she will work harder and follow Dong Qiangqiang's example.

Wang Shunan was out of breath when she spoke. Dong Qiangqiang knew that the other party had suffered a lot, and she was not Xianglin's wife. She probably had some difficulties and was embarrassed to tell her, so he asked her straight to the point if there was anything she could help with. Everyone was so familiar with her, but It doesn't matter.

After hearing Dong Qiangqiang's statement, Wang Shunan gathered up the courage: Because he had no time to work, his savings dropped sharply, and his visa was about to be extended in May. In addition to the student's college registration certificate, the Immigration Bureau also looked at the deposits in his account. , she has a serious lack of savings. If she goes to extend her visa, she may only be able to extend it for two months. If she extends it every two months, the visa fee will be a big expense, so she wants to borrow money from Dong Qiangqiang. See if she can extend it for a longer period of time, but the money may need to be borrowed for more than 5 months. She doesn't know if she can afford the interest and repay the principal in the short term. She can write an IOU to Dong Qiangqiang. If Dong Qiangqiang feels embarrassed, just forget it. , she also understands that after all, no one’s money comes from the strong wind.

Dong Qiangqiang asked her how much she planned to borrow. She said that if she had 3000 euros in the seaside city, she could extend her visa for one year. Dong Qiangqiang said that 3000 euros was no problem. He would transfer the money to her later and she could use it without any worries. She would not be charged any interest. He tried to extend it for one year directly. , so you don’t have to worry about studying. In addition, if Wang Shunan feels aggrieved and about to collapse, you can contact him at any time. Wang Shunan was surprised and thanked her repeatedly, insisting that Dong Qiangqiang tell her the address and send her an IOU no matter what. Dong Qiangqiang couldn't persuade her and could only tell her the address. As Wang Shunan thanked her, Dong Qiangqiang reminded her to send him her bank account number as soon as possible.

Hearing that Wang Shunan had failed three subjects at once, Dong Qiangqiang's originally steady heart became anxious unconsciously. He enrolled in one subject but the test results have not been released yet. He was worried that something might have happened, but In public law, he is not the only one who has failed to get good grades. There is a high probability that he is grading slowly. Dong Qiangqiang was originally very confident that he would pass the exam, but now he is a little nervous about the process of cutting flesh with a dull knife. He thinks of a lot of things that are still waiting for him to solve. If he fails to pass the exam, he will have to go to class again and study again. It's really hard to take one exam, which shows that you still can't take too many exams each semester. The best way is to try to pass all exams in one go.
