Dong Qiangqiang was disturbed by Lu Shan's phone call early Saturday morning before he woke up.
"Brother Dong, my dad asked me to learn from you and see how I should study to go abroad as soon as possible." Although Lu Shan tried his best to keep his tone normal, Dong Qiangqiang could still hear some strange smells in his words.
Lu Shan was actually a child who was very confident in his own learning ability and even a bit arrogant. Although he did not dislike Dong Qiangqiang, he was somewhat unhappy about asking Dong Qiangqiang for advice because of his father's orders.
But what he didn't know was that his question made Dong Qiangqiang dumbfounded. Dong Qiangqiang actually didn't study well in college, but Lu Shan was obviously the top student. Letting low-achieving students guide top students is, at best, a layman directing an expert; at worst, it's misleading students.
Dong Qiangqiang is self-aware and knows that he has no ability to guide others to learn. But the other person didn't seem to be hypocritical, he just said that because he didn't understand his true situation. After all, people who could study abroad at that time always gave people a sense of sanctity. Dong Qiangqiang knew in his heart that if he refused outright, the other party might think that he was pretending to be polite and ask for advice again and again, so it would be better to get straight to the point. "I can't give you any advice on professional courses. Just tell me about your learning methods." Dong Qiangqiang rubbed his eyes, trying to wake up.
Lu Shan was somewhat surprised to see that Dong Qiangqiang did not rely on his old age. After thinking for a while, he reported on his reading situation during the first month of school, from how to take notes in class to how to review after class. After hearing this, Dong Qiangqiang felt that the other party was more thoughtful than he thought. He really couldn't find any problems, so he could only say honestly: "If you can persist in studying like this for 8 semesters, I think it will be no problem for you to go abroad. But foreign universities They will attach great importance to students' professional course results, so no matter how you study, it is necessary to get high scores in the final exam. In addition, your school should also require that you must pass CET-4 when you graduate, right? This requirement is very important for you to go abroad. It’s not enough at all. You’d better pass CET-4 at the end of your freshman year, pass CET-6 in your sophomore year, and take TOEFL and GRE in your junior year. In this way, even if you don’t go to the United States to study in the future, your TOEFL and GRE scores will be useful for you to apply for German public institutions. University is also helpful. There are many Master's degrees here that are taught in English. If you pass the exam well, you can graduate in more than two years, which is much faster than a Diplom taught in German."
Dong Qiangqiang talks about the detours he has taken. He knows that young people generally cannot listen to what others say, but he is still willing to share.
Lu Shan wrote them down one by one, and finally asked about Lu Wei's current situation.
Dong Qiangqiang understood his state of mind and did not lie to him. He told him clearly that because Hanover Women's Prison suddenly changed the visitation regulations last week, he did not see Lu Wei, but he would go to the prison to try again today.
Not hearing the news from Lu Wei made Lu Shan disappointed and disappointed, but he also knew that Dong Qiangqiang could not do anything about this kind of thing, so he politely thanked Dong Qiangqiang again.
Dong Qiangqiang asked if he had found any work-study opportunities after enrolling. Lu Shan replied that he had submitted an application material to the school, but had not received approval yet, so he would continue to look for more opportunities.
Dong Qiangqiang always has a sense of pity for people who come from poor families but work hard to support themselves. "Although my ability is limited, if you need me anywhere, feel free to speak and I will try my best." His attitude was sincere and warm.
Lu Shan thanked him and said a few more polite words before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, he realized that there was a missed call from Du Lan last night. He just wanted to call back but was afraid of waking up Du Lan, so he finally gave up the idea.
It was already past 7:30. Because he had to meet Jin Yuan at noon, he did not dare to delay and decided to go out immediately.
October mornings in Germany are already chilly, especially in northern German cities like Hannover, which have high latitudes and large temperature differences between morning and evening. Many of the leaves on both sides of the road that were lush and green a week ago have turned yellow or even withered. Since it was the weekend, the city’s cleaning staff were not at work, and the streets were covered with yellow leaves. From time to time, leaves were blown into the air by the wind. There was a chilly smell of late autumn in the air, which seemed to tell Dong Qiangqiang what autumn is like in Germany. Sadness and loneliness.
Since Dong Qiangqiang did not go to the hospital for examination immediately after his head hit a tree yesterday, his head still throbs from time to time for unknown reasons. Along with the headache, there are scenes of the past that float before my eyes from time to time. He seemed to hear Chen Yu asking: Why didn't you call me that day? This made Dong Qiangqiang very upset. He didn't understand how Chen Yu could become his inner demon.
He couldn't help but lower the window and let the cool morning breeze from the suburbs blow fiercely on his face. He didn't know whether he did this to keep himself awake or to let the wind blow away the blockage in his chest.
Arriving outside the Hannover Women's Prison with ease, Dong Qiangqiang parked the car, took a deep breath, and walked into the prison carrying his bag.
After showing his passport to the door guard, Dong Qiangqiang got a waiting list. This surprised him slightly because this step was not done when he came here before.
Following the instructions of the doorman, Dong Qiangqiang walked into a small room with the number sheet, where he underwent a strict body search and inspection of his belongings. The magazines in the backpack were released, but the snacks he bought in the German supermarket were temporarily detained until Dong Qiangqiang left prison.
Dong Qiangqiang was keenly aware that the prison's security procedures were much stricter than before. I wonder if it was because of 911.
There are about a hundred seats in the waiting hall, but only 10 people are waiting. An electronic screen hangs on the wall, showing the current number and the next number. This makes Dong Qiangqiang feel as if he is doing business in a bank.
After waiting for less than 20 minutes, he was led into an independent visiting room by the staff, but the sharp-eyed Dong Qiangqiang immediately discovered that the so-called independent visiting room was actually modified based on the previous multi-person visiting hall.
Less than ten seconds after he sat down, the guards brought Lu Wei in.
Dong Qiangqiang remembered clearly that the last time he saw Lu Wei, Lu Wei was sallow and thin, physically weak, listless, and in a daze. But after not seeing each other for two months, Lu Wei has become very different from before.
Her figure had gained weight visibly, her cheeks that were once pouty bulged like balloons, and her pointed chin skipped over her round chin and turned into a double chin.
In addition to her figure, her energy and energy seemed to have returned to before she was imprisoned. No, Dong Qiangqiang even felt better than before she was imprisoned. Before, she was like an old eggplant beaten by frost or a middle-aged aunt who retired early, but this time before she spoke, she took the initiative to nod and smile at Dong Qiangqiang through the glass window between the two of them, which shocked Dong Qiangqiang and almost made him blink.
Is this Lu Wei? Dong Qiangqiang couldn't believe his eyes.
"You..." He didn't know where to start for a moment, as if the person in prison was not Lu Wei but him.
Instead, it was Lu Wei who spoke first: "Thank you, I have received the book."
Dong Qiangqiang's mind was full of question marks, and he was struggling with which question to ask first when Sun Tao suddenly called.
