Since 1980, Germans have adjusted their clocks from winter time to summer time every last weekend in March, and then back to winter time on the last weekend in October. According to research, the first countries in Europe to implement daylight saving time were Germany and Ireland, which began to promote and implement daylight saving time as early as 1916. The main basis for the Germans to adopt daylight saving time is that people can take advantage of the long sunshine hours in summer to save electricity consumption and achieve environmental protection. However, the more serious Germans later found through research that in areas with colder climates (such as North Germany), The change of time can easily cause psychological and physiological imbalances, resulting in the traffic accident rate that week being always higher than usual. But no matter what, Erlingshi has continued as a tradition.
Dong Qiangqiang remembers that he experienced a short period of summer time in China when he was a child, and then it ended quietly, just like many things that happened in his life.
Although Hannover is at a high latitude and it’s just April, the weather seems to be getting warmer immediately. People who had been covering themselves up all winter couldn’t wait to change out of their winter clothes. Colorful spring shirts soon began to float in the streets and alleys. Many businesses rushed to put their business on the roadside and set up sun umbrellas, because next to Christmas, The Easter holiday, an important statutory holiday, is in early April. Businessmen who are familiar with the holiday economy do not want to miss this consumption opportunity, and have used their skills to promote people's enthusiasm for consumption.
During the Easter holiday, churches across Germany will hold various religious activities related to celebrating the resurrection of Jesus on this day. Of course, for most Germans, this day is also a family reunion day. Adults are busy holding and participating in various activities. For children, games such as Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs are played.
Dong Qiangqiang originally planned to use this holiday to visit Du Lan in Munich. In addition to the fact that the two were dating, there was another reason why he made this arrangement: Although he had communicated with Du Lan before joining Laobai Company, Du Lan did not He did not object clearly, but in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts between him and Du Lan, he still planned to have another interview with Du Lan. After all, it was very informal over the phone. In addition, Du Lan also has a travel agency under her name, but she has never made it clear that she hopes Dong Qiangqiang will join as a shareholder. In fact, Dong Qiangqiang has never considered joining Du Lan's travel agency. On the one hand, he does not want to completely follow Du Lan in work and life. They were mixed together, but he wanted to be independent. On the other hand, it was also because he was not sure whether he and Du Lan could really get together in the end.
The reason why Dong Qiangqiang had this worry was that he gradually discovered that he and Du Lan did not seem to have the same sense of love and dependence that he and Chen Yu had between him and Chen Yu. On the contrary, he often felt because of Due to various things, I forgot to call Du Lan every day. Although he believed that he did like Du Lan and was not with Du Lan just for fun, he couldn't answer what he liked about Du Lan. Is it Du Lan's appearance? Or is it her bold and generous personality? Or is it her wealthy background? After thinking about it, it seemed that his acceptance of Du Lan's confession was more of a reluctance to prove the existence of something, but what exactly did he want to prove? Prove that he is not wanted by no one, but that Chen Yu has no vision? Or did Chen Yu leave him because of low self-esteem? But no matter what he wanted to prove, all of this became no longer important with Chen Yu's departure, and the unwillingness he once felt seemed to have quietly left with the wind.
After listening quietly to Dong Qiangqiang's explanation of his holiday plans, Du Lan simply rejected his offer. Du Lan's reason was simple and sufficient: because she had been busy leading a group, she had missed a lot of homework, and the list of books to be read for advanced courses was vast, and she owed eight reports instead of ten. If you need to take a group vacation, you must seize the time to make up for it. If Dong Qiangqiang went to Munich, the two of them would get tired of each other and there would be no time left. Although she also wanted to meet Dong Qiangqiang, Dong Qiangqiang was definitely not at the top of her list at the moment.
Dong Qiangqiang was not sure whether Du Lan said this deliberately to test his sincerity in visiting her, or whether he really wanted to review his homework alone, and expressed his determination several times on the phone. His troubles finally "annoyed" Du Lan, and he hung up Dong Qiangqiang's phone with a bang.
Dong Qiangqiang had the intention to go to Munich to see Du Lan before coming back, but was worried that it would really affect her review. After thinking about it, he went to the post office and picked out a greeting card to send to Du Lan as an apology, so he dropped the matter.
In fact, studies were not only difficult for Du Lan, but also for Dong Qiangqiang.
The study tasks for the first month of next semester were more difficult than he expected, and the difficulty was still in the politics class. Although the teacher gave him a lot of reading materials, Dong Qiangqiang did not have the original accumulation of this part of knowledge, so whether he was reading, doing questions or preparing speeches, he was inevitably bumpy. Considering that the final grades of the first semester were not satisfactory, Dong Qiangqiang did not dare to be careless and added thirty minutes of reading time on political content every day. He gritted his teeth and bit by bit bit by bit all the homework assigned by the politics teacher every day. .
Because his study time became longer, he often met Wang Shunan in the library. Wang Shunan sits alone in a fixed corner every day, unshakable and quiet. She is always surrounded by a three-piece set: a glass of water, a pencil case, and a thick pile of books that look like bridge piers.
The two occasionally exchanged pleasantries, but Wang Shunan never complained to Dong Qiangqiang about having too many books to read. Some of them just lamented that they had wasted too much time before and now did not have enough time.
Dong Qiangqiang secretly observed several times and found that she never seemed to eat at noon. Although Wang Shunan's explanation was that she was worried about feeling sleepy in the afternoon after eating at noon and she wanted to lose weight, Dong Qiangqiang soon learned that in order to increase her study time, she took the initiative to reduce her part-time job at the Green Castle Nursing Home, which meant that her income would Much less than before. Although she would still have sporadic income at the winery, Dong Qiangqiang quickly guessed Wang Shunan's predicament considering the increase in living costs caused by the euro.
After knowing this secret, he would often deliberately buy an extra serving of Subway's beef or chicken wraps and then secretly hide them behind those "piers." He always has an indescribable feeling of pity and admiration for those who work hard and come from poor families.
Since everyone is usually busy studying or working, Dong Qiangqiang took the initiative to invite Lao Bai, Tong Lele, Lei Lanting, Wang Shunan, Dong Yiqing, He Yuanjin and others to attend the Cologne Carnival during the Easter holiday. On the one hand, everyone can take time to relax their tense mood. On the other hand, Dong Qiangqiang and others can use this travel simulation to gain experience in leading a group. More importantly, Dong Qiangqiang needs to collect more materials for the new website.
