Although it is already evening, the sun is still warm. The blue sky makes the silver-gray clouds appear poetic and beautiful like an oil painting.
As the car drove on the road, the shadows of the trees flickered across the car window, and accompanied by the sad songs coming from the CD, Dong Qiangqiang actually felt like watching a movie, but the movie seemed to be telling a sad farewell story.
"If you had told me that you had a leg injury, I wouldn't have let you drive me." Tong Lele, who was sitting in the back seat, couldn't help but scolded, "I can take a taxi to the university myself."
"This little injury is nothing," Dong Qiangqiang explained, "Besides, it's not easy for you to take a taxi to pull the guzheng. I'm a truck, and my job is to pull goods."
"Lele, you don't understand Boss Dong's mentality. He is showing off in front of beautiful women to gain inner satisfaction." Lei Lanting, who was sitting in the passenger seat, adjusted his sitting posture and gently moved his hand in a sling back. , "He is no longer the Dong Qiangqiang who went cleaning with you and me before. Am I right? Old Dong." Lei Lanting seemed to have returned to the smooth-tongued person before.
Dong Qiangqiang smiled, and while watching the road conditions, he teased: "It would be great if you broke your mouth. It won't stop you from making money, and it can also keep us clean for a while."
Although he said this, Dong Qiangqiang felt that time had returned to that bright and cold morning when the three of them went to Muller Villa together.
"I said you both are desperate enough." Tong Lele complained, "Don't you have any other jobs in Hanover? Just go catch wild boars when you have nothing to do. Tell me how many times you have been injured? Lei Lanting is alone, forget it. Dong Qiangqiang, doesn’t your girlfriend worry about telling you if she knows you’re taking such a risk?”
"Hey, what do you mean by that? What do you mean, 'It's okay to be alone'?" Lei Lanting pretended to be unhappy, "Does a single person deserve to be laughed at? Then Lele, aren't you also single? I think Lao Dong's girlfriends are all I'm not as worried as you." Lei Lanting muttered, "Besides, my girlfriend specializes in purchasing wild boars. They are an 'industrial couple', cooperating upstream and downstream, falling in love and making money at the same time, a one-stop business, without delaying anything. .”
Tong Lele looked at Dong Qiangqiang doubtfully: "Is your girlfriend a wild boar collector?"
"You listen to his nonsense." Although Dong Qiangqiang was squeezed, he still kept his words and did not say that he was actually helping Lei Lanting. "I don't catch him often, but I have a lot of expenses recently and have to maintain a car. Money is tight. Although catching wild boars is indeed dangerous, it is legal and can make money quickly. Although there are jobs here in Hanover, they don't actually earn much, and after many jobs, I am as tired as my third grandson. How can I still have the energy to study? ?But I don’t plan to make this my main job, I’ve already started learning to lead tour groups.”
"Are you a tour guide again?" Tong Lele was completely shocked. "You have a long business line. You are catching wild boars and being a tour guide. Are you busy? I would like to remind you, I have seen many People are busy making money here, and in the end they delay their studies. You have to remember why you came here, and don’t become obsessed with money."
Lei Lanting's eyes were full of jealousy, and he deliberately said bitterly: "Hey, those who are flooded will drown, and those who are thirsty will die of thirst. I am now alone, with few people caring and few asking questions. It's really like comparing people to death, and comparing goods with goods. I have to throw away. .”
Dong Qiangqiang originally wanted to say, "Don't you still have Zhang Yueqin?", but he felt it was inappropriate when he said it. Lei Lanting met Zhang Yueqin when he was frustrated, and was dumped when he was in trouble. Lei Lanting has never been able to overcome this obstacle. He doesn’t know either, so it’s better not to make such a joke casually. Thinking of this, he changed the topic and asked: "Lele, what's the number of your show at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala later?"
"It seems to be the fifth one, or the sixth one." Tong Lele thought about it for a moment, "I'll call you after the performance. Just throw the guzheng back to the car then, and then we'll go to dinner. Lao Bai and Hualing have already We have booked a private room for the 'Big Beef Bones' and are waiting for us to go there. I just happened to be taking advantage of the meal today to explain everything about the wedding the day after tomorrow."
"Then we'll wait for your call." Dong Qiangqiang said.
The car soon arrived outside the University of Hannover. Dong Qiangqiang and Lei Lanting, the two injured men, sarcastically carried Tong Lele's guzheng into the multi-purpose hall.
By the time the two of them stumbled back to the car, a large swath of brilliantly colored pink sunset was floating on the horizon.
The two of them had a cigarette each, and neither of them spoke.
It wasn't until the cigarette was almost finished that Lei Lanting said quietly, "There's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I've always been embarrassed."
"Do you need money?" Dong Qiangqiang had heard this opening statement too many times, and immediately asked without thinking, "How much do you need this time?"
Unexpectedly, Lei Lanting shook his head: "I think this is about money, but it's not about it."
"What do you mean?" Dong Qiangqiang was confused by what he said, "What on earth is going on?"
"I failed the professional exam." Lei Lanting took two long puffs on his cigarette, threw it to the ground, and crushed it with his foot. "My studies should be over."
"But I heard that Han University is different from other German universities. It does not limit the number of exams students can take. If you fail this time, you can take the exam again next time. It doesn't matter when you pass the exam." Dong Qiangqiang comforted, "You have worked hard. It’s been so long, what a shame to give up now.”
Lei Lanting stared at the skyline for a long time and sighed in frustration: "I have folded this door four times. To be honest, I have no energy to continue now."
There is no greater sorrow than heartbreak. Dong Qiangqiang has heard this truth many times. He knew that with Lei Lanting's character, he should have said this after careful consideration.
"Then what are you going to do next?" Dong Qiangqiang asked, "Go back to China? Or continue to stay here and work to make money?"
"I haven't thought about the details, but I won't be so depressed even if I go back. I have to earn hundreds of thousands anyway, otherwise I will be sorry for the hardships I suffered in Germany for so many years."
Dong Qiangqiang suddenly realized: "So you worked hard at that time to open a company and catch wild boars, but you weren't actually trying to get angry with me?"
Lei Lanting looked at the gradually red sunset, spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "What problem can I solve by arguing with you?"
"Then do you plan to continue catching wild boars after your arm is healed?" Dong Qiangqiang looked at his arm carefully for a while, "Judging from your current recovery speed, it will take another two months at the fastest to recover, right?"
"I have thought a lot during this period. As you said before, catching wild boars is too risky and risky. If you get injured, you will easily break the contract. Although the rewards are high, it is not a long-term solution after all, so I thought... ..." His voice suddenly stopped.
The autumn wind gently picks up the dead leaves on the ground. It only takes a gust of wind to reach the treetops, and then disappear without a trace after another gust of wind.
Seeing Lei Lanting swallowing his saliva and hesitating to speak, Dong Qiangqiang vaguely guessed his intention and said with a smile: "You don't want to say that you are embarrassed to say this? Or you are afraid that I will reject you."
