Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 821 821. Night Reading
Although he was sleeping in a confused way, he knew in his heart that the old lady was the only one in the villa, and she could only be the one knocking on the door.

He glanced at his watch, and it was ten o'clock in the evening. Didn't the old people go to bed early and get up early?Are old Germans exempt from this natural law?But what else can happen so late?I didn't cook by myself, so it's definitely not the problem of oily smoke.Could it be that the floor was not cleaned after taking a shower?But I obviously checked it, it shouldn't be unclean.

He sat up from the bed in a jerk, stood up in a daze, adjusted the clothes that had been crumpled due to sleep, and asked directly when he opened the door: "Is there anything else to do so late? Ms. Yulia."

It was indeed the landlord standing outside the door.Although it was night, the old lady's hair was still neatly coiled, and there were gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, so she didn't look like she was about to take a rest.

He wanted to let the other party into the room to sit down and talk, but unexpectedly the other party looked at the unopened suitcase in the room and then stood outside the door, showing no intention of entering the room to speak.

"Did you fall asleep just now?" The old lady had a pleasant expression on her face.

When she was talking, her dog "Radar" squatted not far behind her, staring at Dong Qiangqiang's every move with rapt attention.

Dong Qiangqiang wanted to deny it, but after seeing the kind eyes of the old lady, he somehow remembered the frankness of the old lady agreeing to rent the house that night when he inspected the house, and immediately felt ashamed of lying to the old man, and immediately admitted honestly: I was sleepy after taking a shower, and I fell asleep before I knew it, but I did clean up the bathroom, if I didn't clean it up, then I..."

"I knocked for almost 5 minutes and you didn't speak, so I know you must have fallen asleep." The old lady paused, changed the subject, pointed her index finger at the ceiling above his head and said seriously, "If you encounter this kind of situation again In this case, you should turn off the light before going to sleep. Sleeping with the light on consumes a lot of electricity, and it is not easy to fall asleep, which affects the quality of sleep.”

Although she was criticizing Dong Qiangqiang, the old lady's voice was soft and gentle, and there was no loud scolding as Dong Qiangqiang imagined.

Dong Qiangqiang never expected that he would be caught on the first night of living here, even though he was being careful and cautious, and he was arrested on the first night of his stay, and the other party had reasons and evidence, so he couldn't find any excuses, so he obediently bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Ms. Yulia, I will pay attention to saving electricity in the future and never make this mistake again."

The old lady nodded, stopped worrying about this question, and said: "There is another question."

"Tell me." Dong Qiangqiang groaned secretly while agreeing. He made so many mistakes on the first night he just moved in. It seems that although this place is cheap, he can't live long. It will be difficult to find such a low rent in the future.

"It's almost 22 o'clock now, and you haven't done your reading or talking today." The old lady reminded.

"You mean now?" Dong Qiangqiang asked in surprise, "but I just... moved in today."

"According to what we said before, you have to start studying when you move in." The old man emphasized calmly, "Since you agree, then you should abide by it, every day, without exception."

Seeing the other party's appearance of fighting for reason, Dong Qiangqiang was completely relieved: "Okay, but what should I read? Are newspapers okay? Or read?"

"One day out of seven days a week I will specify what you read, and the other six days you can choose what you like. However, I am not interested in politics or celebrity gossip. Novels, history, biographies are all fine, German and French English is fine too."

Dong Qiangqiang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the direction given by the other party, and the proposition composition was much simpler.

"Is it okay to read something related to China?"

"Of course, I like China very much. Although I have never been there, I think I will definitely go there in the future. I want to try BJ's roast duck." The old lady's eyes lit up when she spoke.

Dong Qiangqiang remembers that there are a lot of articles introducing China in his computer. They are all the materials he collected when he was in the preparatory class to introduce the situation in China to his classmates. He did not expect to be able to use them again today.

"If possible, I will read what you have now. My own materials need to be sorted out."

"Magazines and newspapers are in the living room on the first floor. You can choose them yourself." After the old lady finished speaking, she strode down the stairs. "Radar" followed her and went downstairs step by step.

There are quite a lot of magazines and newspapers ordered by the old lady. In addition to the ones just mentioned, there are also a bunch of magazines and newspapers such as food, weaving, gardening, health, pets, travel, horse riding, religion, and farm management. It can be seen that the old lady’s The amount of reading is amazing.

Dong Qiangqiang has neither dabbled nor interested in anything other than finance, so he directly picked out the "Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung", which he read every day and is also the most familiar.

His idea is: reading "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" can not only fulfill the tasks stipulated by the old lady, but also learn about the international financial situation by the way, lest he ignore the major financial events happening in the world because of his studies.

He used to read and listen to his morning reading every day, but now he has to read to a German, and he is still his own landlord, which is somewhat awkward, for fear that the other party will laugh at the Chinese for their poor German.

Unfortunately, Murphy's Law is in play again.In the newspaper articles selected by Dong Qiangqiang, in addition to the sudden appearance of a lot of remote words, there are also many clauses with extremely long attributives.Because of nervousness, he frequently mispronounced.

He stole a glance at the old lady, who was listening intently and quietly, neither correcting his pronunciation nor pointing out his mispronunciation, as if he didn't hear it at all.

Dong Qiangqiang has always been a bold person, and he became confident when he saw that the old man did not correct him.In fact, people are like this. The more confident you are, the more you feel, the smoother you read, and you don't make any mistakes after reading.

Under the warm orange light, the old and the young just listened, read, and moved quietly.

When he finished reading the front page in one go, exactly half an hour passed.

"Ms. Yulia, I finished reading today. It's 10:30, do you want to chat or take a rest?" Dong Qiangqiang who put down the newspaper noticed that the old man was still staring at him intently, and his insightful eyes changed under the lamp. It was extraordinarily shiny, and there were faint reflections at the corners of the eyes.

Dong Qiangqiang was surprised: How can you still cry when you hear the news?Is it because I misread too much or the pronunciation is too bad?

The old man suddenly came back to his senses, turned his face to the window with no curtains drawn, looked at the dark forest and said, "Tell me about your situation."

There are many stories about Dong Qiangqiang, and any one of them can be told for more than 30 minutes.But everything has its source, and now I will talk about it when I landed in Germany: from how I applied for APS to how to enter the Hannover Preparatory School, from studying to working, and then how to become a tour guide by accident, and how to apply for a foreigner after graduation. When I went to a German university, I was stuck with the application deadline for the winter semester of the university until the last moment, and I got the admission letter from the University of Trier again and again.

Because it was all personal experience, he talked about it vividly throughout the whole process, but he also paid attention to it, and didn't mention his wild boar hunting and investment. After all, these two things are related to money, and he doesn't reveal his wealth when he goes out. There must still be a gatekeeper on the mouth, and besides, people's hearts are separated from the belly, so it's better to be careful in everything, so as not to cause unnecessary complications.

The old lady listened with fascination, as he did when he read the newspaper, without a single interruption.When he finished talking about the important life milestones after coming to Germany, the old-fashioned wall clock just struck eleven.

To Dong Qiangqiang's story, the old lady neither expressed interest nor dislike, but told him seriously: "It's better to go early tomorrow. Besides, if you need any furniture here, please let me know at any time. There are still a lot of spare furniture in the basement." , but don't take it yourself."

Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly expressed his thanks, said good night again, and returned to his room.

He lay down again because the most sleepy moment had been read through the newspaper, and he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

He simply got up to pack his luggage, and he didn't feel sleepy again until four o'clock the next morning, and then he climbed into bed and fell asleep drowsily.
