When Dong Qiangqiang fell asleep, Dong Yiqing just picked up a cup of instant coffee.
Although she could look up new words very quickly, she couldn't handle the fact that Zhang Shuo gave her too many documents. Three hours passed, and she had only checked a few articles.
She felt her head was heavy, and her sleepiness was getting thicker. She looked at the small mountain of information, and the feeling of wanting to sleep but not being able to sleep suddenly gave her a sense of déjà vu as she was preparing for the exam in the third year of high school.
Ever since she was little, she has never been afraid of exams. Although she has never been a top student, she has never felt that she was struggling in her studies. Even the semester exams of the Department of Mathematics, which many people complained were difficult and tiring, did not feel difficult because she had less part-time jobs and always spent time in the library reading books, checking information, and doing homework.
She has always believed that if you pay, you will get something, although sometimes the reward is not money.
She opened the only window in the dormitory that had some sunlight in the afternoon, and the cool midnight breeze squeezed in from the window. She couldn't help shivering, and took out a thin sweater from the closet and put it on On the body.
In order to prevent students from using the dormitory network to do things unrelated to their studies, Han University’s Student Dormitory Management Office has imposed traffic restrictions on the wired network in the dormitory. A maximum of 2G traffic can be used per month. Once the limit is exceeded, the dormitory network port will be immediately blocked. .
Dong Yiqing spent most of his time in the library and school, and very little time in the dormitory, so he basically didn't use the dormitory's network traffic. She casually clicked on the two small computer icons in the lower right corner of the computer screen and checked the traffic she used. Fortunately, she only used 269M, which was more than enough.
After drinking a cup of coffee, I feel more energetic. She picked up a new piece of material and immersed herself in translating it.
Lei Lanting's snoring has both hypnotic and awakening effects.
In the latter half of the night, Dong Qiangqiang was awakened by his snoring. Dong Qiangqiang, lying on the floor, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
This was the first time he had insomnia since arriving in Germany. He simply took the driving school textbook and ran to the kitchen, looked at it for a while, and then his head gradually fell on the dining table.
Dong Qiangqiang suddenly saw a familiar scene in front of his eyes, "Where am I?" he kept asking himself.
"This is... home?" Dong Qiangqiang suddenly realized that this was his parents' home, but his parents didn't seem to be at home. He wanted to call them but couldn't make a sound. They were all retired. It was night again, where could they go? Woolen cloth?
He walked towards the door, trying to open it but couldn't. He anxiously took out the keys and tried them all, and finally opened the door with the last key.
The moment the door opened, he suddenly saw that it was indeed his room at No. 54 Hippo Street.
Dong Qiangqiang woke up immediately.
"Hey!" A pair of big hands pushed Dong Qiangqiang hard. Dong Qiangqiang raised his head sleepily, and saw a serious face staring at him viciously, it was Big Max.
"This is the kitchen, you can't sleep here, you will make this place dirty." Max sat down opposite Dong Qiangqiang, eating rye bread while looking at Dong Qiangqiang.
Dong Qiangqiang looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 7:35 in the morning. He didn't want to get involved with Max, so he picked up his things and returned to his room.
To his surprise, the room was empty, and the quilt folded like tofu blocks was neatly placed at the end of the bed.
He put the book on the table and saw a piece of paper on the table with a big smiley face drawn on it and four words crookedly written next to it: Sorry.
Dong Yiqing didn't sleep all night. A dozen torn coffee packaging bags were scattered on the table, on the floor and in the wastebasket. She felt that the pen in her hand was getting heavier and heavier. After writing a few more words, she finally couldn't hold on anymore and threw the pen on the table.
Although she had the help of coffee, she was so sleepy after staying up all night that she could hardly open her eyes.
The large pile of materials in front of her was already covered with dense Chinese characters. Although there was still a lot of material to look through, she had already made a decision in her mind.
She stood up unsteadily from the chair, closed the window, drew the curtains, and set an alarm clock. She didn't even bother to change her clothes before flopping down on the bed. A few seconds later, a slight snore sounded. stand up.
The driving school started at 9 o'clock in the morning. Dong Qiangqiang ate something casually, read the newspaper for a while, and arrived at the door of the driving school 10 minutes early.
There were not many people attending class in the morning. Counting his small classroom, there were a total of five students, three women and two men, and there were no young people like him. They all seemed to be Germans over thirty years old.
Dong Qiangqiang did not know at the time that in Germany, many young people can attend driving schools at the age of 16 and eventually obtain a Class A driver's license. However, obtaining a Class A driver's license does not mean that they can drive on the road. At best, they can only choose to drive at a very slow speed. If you want to drive a motorcycle, you must meet other conditions.
Ms. Karina, who has received Dong Qiangqiang before, is not only the person in charge of the driving school, but also a teacher and coach. She first briefly introduced herself, went straight to the topic without saying a word, and began to explain the content.
Dong Qiangqiang had already passed the driver's license test in China, so he was no stranger to some theoretical knowledge. In addition, he had previewed some of the content in advance, so even though he heard a lot of new words, he could still understand the basic meaning of what Karina said. Theoretical knowledge has never been difficult for Chinese people who are good at memorizing.
However, several other people who were learning to drive at the same time did not seem to understand what Karina was talking about. This was beyond Dong Qiangqiang's expectation. Even though he had the language advantage, he could not understand it faster. It seems that learning is the same everywhere in the world. It mainly depends on the individual's hard work. At the end of the first class, he became the fastest learner among the five students.
During the break, Dong Qiangqiang ran outside to exercise and suddenly received a call from Tong Lele.
"I told my classmate and he said he would ask his girlfriend, but it might take a few days before he gets a reply."
"Well, no problem. I'm very grateful if they are willing to help. You can thank them on our behalf." Dong Qiangqiang thought for a while and added, "What do you think of me treating them to a meal?"
"We haven't decided yet, so don't be in a hurry to treat us to a meal. Let's wait until we get a clear answer." Tong Lele said softly, "And if we really need to treat you, the three of us will treat you together. You can't spend the money alone."
Remembering that she and Lei Lanting had an unpleasant quarrel last time, Dong Qiangqiang kindly defended Lei Lanting and said, "Lei Lanting said something a little bit last time...don't take it to heart."
Tong Lele on the phone was silent for a few seconds and said, "I know, he's just like that, with a bad temper, and he can't change it."
"Okay, tell me if you have any news later. I'll go to class first." Dong Qiangqiang hung up the phone and walked quickly back to the classroom.
Dong Qiangqiang did not sign up for a full-day driving school class. His class ended at 11 o'clock sharp.
He packed his schoolbag and was about to leave the classroom when he saw four other students cheering around Karina and talking to her quietly. Karina listened and communicated with them from time to time, while writing in a notebook What is written.
Dong Qiangqiang followed curiously and listened carefully to their conversation.
A housewife named Barbara said: "Karina, I want to practice driving this afternoon. Can you help me make an appointment with a coach?"
Karina said kindly, "No problem. Do you want a male or female coach?"
"Well, I..." Barbara thought for a while, "It would be better to make an appointment with a female coach. Or do you have time in the afternoon?"
"Sorry, my schedule is already full this afternoon," Karina quickly checked in her notebook. "Is Coach Anna free tomorrow afternoon? Is it convenient for you? It starts at 14:00. A class period is 45 minutes. How many appointments would you like to make? indivual?"
Barbara nodded excitedly: "I'll just make an appointment for a class to experience it first."
"Then you go to the counter in front and pay." Karina handed Barbara a piece of paper, and Barbara happily walked out of the classroom holding the paper in her hand.
Several other students also made appointments with Karina for a suitable time and coach, and each chose a training time ranging from one to two lessons.
After everyone walked out of the classroom, Dong Qiangqiang tried to ask: "Ms. Karina, can I drive directly without finishing the theory?"
"Of course, it's possible in Germany." Karina quickly wrote something in her notebook and asked without looking up, "Do you also want to make an appointment with the coach?"
"Well, I want to ask about the price first." Dong Qiangqiang was calculating.
"A class lasts 45 minutes. The instructor works with you one-on-one. The charge per class will vary slightly depending on the route. On average, a class is between 35 and 40 marks."
"Then," Dong Qiangqiang hesitated, "I'll make an appointment for a lesson first."
"The driving school stipulates that you can only do normal driving for the first time." Karina said quickly, "Do you want to make an appointment with a male instructor or a female instructor?"
"Anyone is fine, as long as you are experienced." Dong Qiangqiang said nonchalantly.
"Okay, then we will make arrangements. We will call you tomorrow morning."
"Okay. Can you tell me the location of the driving range now?"
"Driving range?" Karina was stunned, "What driving range?"
"It's the place where I practice driving." Dong Qiangqiang was confused by her question, "Where else would I practice driving?"
Karina finally understood his question. She put her notebook up and knocked it gently on the podium twice, and said seriously: "I just said, you can only perform normal driving for the first time. Normal driving means That is, you can only drive on the road first, and cannot practice driving on highways, country roads and other roads. The content of the driving lesson will gradually unfold after your theoretical knowledge is richer. This process is step-by-step. Don’t worry, you will come into contact with it later.”
Dong Qiangqiang thought for a while and asked tentatively: "The driving school stipulates that you must complete 18 hours of theoretical classes before you can sign up for the theory test, but now there are only two theory classes a week, each time for 2 hours, and a total of only 4 hours of study a week. If you want to complete 18 lessons, it will take at least 5 weeks. I would like to take a few more lessons a week so that I can take the theory test earlier."
Karina stared at Dong Qiangqiang's eyes for a while: "We think 4 hours a week is more reasonable, because it takes time for you to absorb and master this knowledge. Dong, why do you pursue learning speed? If If you are not proficient in this knowledge, you will not be able to pass the exam smoothly. Of course, if you insist on increasing the class hours, I need to study it with other teachers before I can reply to you, but I personally strongly object to your doing so."
"Okay then." Dong Qiangqiang reluctantly took the receipt handed over by Karina and prepared to go to another room to pay.
Just when Dong Qiangqiang was about to walk out of the classroom, Karina suddenly shouted behind him: "Mr. Dong, I forgot to tell you that the cars in the driving school all have manual transmissions."
"Thanks for the reminder," Dong Qiangqiang turned around and smiled, "I always drive a manual transmission."
