Dong Qiangqiang carefully walked to the edge of the cliff, feeling the strong wind and the strong smell of the sea blowing towards his face.
He forgot which writer wrote it: the scenery of the cliff is always charming and addictive. He held the railing in his hands and looked up into the distance. As far as he could see, there were rolling mountains, steep cliffs, colorful buildings, winding mountain roads, the intoxicating blue ocean, and the colorful floating and sinking colors on the sea. dinghy.
Since he hasn't had a haircut since coming to Germany, Dong Qiangqiang's short hair has turned into a thick head of black shoulder-length hair. At this moment, it was blown up by the wind, making it look particularly elegant. The down jacket was also bulging with the wind, and the whole person looked like a real version of Michelin tires.
The wind got stronger and stronger, and Dong Qiangqiang finally retreated. When the gust of wind passed, he heard the intermittent ringtone of his cell phone floating melodiously from the pocket of his down jacket.
Since transferring Du Lan's tour to Lao Bai, Dong Qiangqiang has been thinking about explaining his thoughts when calling Du Lan: On the one hand, there are only three cities from Venice to Verona and then to Milan, even without Lao Bai and Tong Lele He gritted his teeth and persevered despite being asked for help, which not only improved his business level but also put him under less pressure. The tour introduced by Du Lan went to at least four and as many as six cities from Rome to Milan. Although Dong Qiangqiang could take people to visit scenic spots, he could not guarantee the shopping results. On the other hand, since taking charge of the group, Lao Bai's state is completely different from when he was in Hannover. Dong Qiangqiang believes that if he is allowed to lead a tour group of 5 people independently, it is unknown whether he can fully recover after leaving the group. After comprehensive consideration, he decided to give the group to Lao Bai.
Although Dong Qiangqiang thought clearly, every time the words came to his lips, they would slip by inexplicably, resulting in the matter never being mentioned. But what surprised him was that he didn't take the initiative to mention it, and Du Lan didn't seem to know that the person taking over the group was Lao Bai. Every time I called Dong Qiangqiang, he ignored me and didn't seem to care. This made Dong Qiangqiang strange and uneasy.
But the number on the phone screen today was not Du Lan's, but that of his family in Beijing.
After Dong Qiangqiang went abroad, he gradually understood that his first departure from home was not only a major life test for himself, who had never left the protection of his parents, but also for his parents. But the difference between the two is that he will only think of his parents and the good times at home when he is lonely and helpless, while his parents will care about his joys, sorrows and joys every day. As the saying goes: When a son travels a thousand miles, the mother is worried, but when a mother travels a thousand miles, the son is not worried.
"Hey, Qiang Qiang, mom and dad wish you the Lantern Festival..." Before Father Dong finished speaking, Mother Dong's voice came from the receiver, asking, "Why didn't you give Qin Youbo his address?"
"Ah, Mom, I..." After picturing Dong's mother snatching the phone from Dong's father, Dong Qiangqiang heard the displeasure in his mother's words and quickly lowered his voice obediently, "I gave her the address. ah."
Dong's mother became even more angry when she heard this: "That's the second time they called you. Why didn't you call me the first time?"
"Oh, this is the first time... I have something to do temporarily." Dong Qiangqiang quibbled, "Did she tell you something?"
"Don't interrupt me." Mother Dong asked, "Aren't you already over with your exams and on winter vacation? What else can you do?"
"I..." Dong Qiangqiang didn't know what to say.
Listening to Dong Qiangqiang's speechless words, Dong's mother complained: "I thought you could take advantage of the holiday to come back to China to celebrate the New Year with us, but I didn't know you had no such plan. Forget it if you don't come back. Today is the Lantern Festival, and you didn't even get a call. I didn’t see anyone on the first day of the lunar month, and I didn’t see anyone on the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Have you forgotten about us, old couple?”
"Mom, why don't you blame me so much?" Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but laugh. "I really have something to do. My classmates and I went to Italy... to work."
"Going to work in Italy?" Dong's mother asked alertly, "You kid is trying to fool me, right? If you don't want to work in Germany, why did you go to Italy instead of being close by?"
"I work as a driver for the tour group, responsible for driving tourists from Germany to Italy, and then from Italy back to Germany."
"Are you the driver?" Mother Dong was still doubtful.
"Of course, I am now on the edge of a cliff in the Cinque Terre in northern Italy. The scenery here is particularly beautiful. I took a lot of photos, but there are very few places with Internet access here, and there are not many Internet cafes on the streets like Beijing. Wait. When I return to Germany, I will send you and Dad pictures of Italy. In two years, when I have learned all the fun and delicious places in Italy, I will take you and Dad out to visit them all."
"Are you on the edge of the cliff now?" Mother Dong asked in shock.
"If you don't believe it, just listen to it." Dong Qiangqiang held the phone above his head for a few seconds, then put it down, "Do you believe it now?"
"You... do you hear me, please stay away from the cliff? Get away quickly..." Mother Dong ordered hurriedly, "Why do you get so big that you make people less worried?"
"Don't worry, I'm in the safe zone, a few meters away from the edge of the cliff. Do you believe it now?"
"Why don't you find a job as a driver in Germany?" Dong's mother asked doubtfully, "How far is it to drive to Italy, and you still have to climb a cliff..."
"If you want to run away from Germany, you have to go to other countries in the European Union. How can there be any job choices? Besides, didn't you and dad always teach me to travel more and gain experience when I was young? Now I'm just carrying out the agreement you and dad made. Is it a policy?"
"Stop talking nonsense to me," Mother Dong asked dubiously, "Is this really why you didn't give Qin Youbo his address?"
"Yes, when I first talked to her on the phone, I told her that I wouldn't be able to go back to Germany for a while, and asked her to wait until I got back to Germany before sending it to me, so as not to lose it, or she could keep it for herself to eat. , who would have thought that she complained to you, do you think you can blame me?" This time it was Dong Qiangqiang's turn to complain, "Besides, you also have my address, why don't you just send the things to me directly? Find someone else It’s so hard to hand it over to a stranger, and you still owe a favor..."
"Don't interrupt, let me tell you, this girl is the child of a relative of my middle school classmate. She is one year younger than you. She has always been very good at studies. She was recommended from elementary school to university, and then went to Paris. She is smart and has a good family background. . I have also seen the photos, and I am very satisfied with the appearance. I also showed your photos to her parents, and they were also quite satisfied. I just wanted to see if you two have..."
Dong's mother was still talking to herself, but Dong Qiangqiang helplessly stopped her and said, "Mom, why do you just give my photos to others without asking me?"
"You kid, are you as arrogant as you? What do you mean by 'giving it to others casually'?" Dong's mother was not happy. "It's rare for a girl to have such good conditions and her parents not object. After passing this village, there is no such thing." This store. Besides, you are already a grown-up, so can I not be anxious as a mother?"
"It's nothing, what kind of matchmaker are you telling me?" Dong Qiangqiang couldn't laugh or cry, "And isn't it usually the girl's parents who are anxious about this kind of thing? When have you ever seen the boy's parents be anxious?"
"You have to act early when you find the right one, otherwise it will be too late to regret." Dong's mother lectured, "Just like your ex-girlfriend..." As soon as Dong's mother said the words, she immediately realized her gaffe and hurriedly shouted, "My child, he Dad, please say a few more words to your son..."
Dong Qiangqiang became suspicious: "What did you just say?"
Dong's mother knew she had spilled the beans and stopped answering. The sound of footsteps came over the phone, and then she heard Dong's father say kindly: "Qiang Qiang..."
"Dad, what did mom say just now?" Dong Qiangqiang asked nonchalantly, "Please let her answer the phone."
"Your mother is also good for you." Father Dong looked at him and whispered, "She may have gone through menopause early. She speaks more verbosely and sometimes talks about me for a long time. Please obey your mother more... …”
