The most troublesome thing is solved, and all that is left is step by step.
Dong Qiangqiang, who rushed back to Hannover without stopping, had only one thing to do, which was to pack his luggage, completely vacate the house, and then say goodbye to the landlord Sasha and his friends in Hannover.
Knowing that Dong Qiangqiang was leaving, Lu Shan didn't go anywhere that day and was very busy moving up and down.
Dong Qiangqiang's suitcase did not add much except for a few clothes and daily necessities such as pillows and quilts given by Du Lan. The two boxes he brought with him when he flew to Germany from China for the first time were squeezed together. It’s all installed.
To his surprise, when saying goodbye to the landlord, Sasha seemed extremely reluctant to leave him.
Dong Qiangqiang has lived with Sasha for more than a year. Except for some unpleasantness with her ex-boyfriend before moving in, he had no other troubles. In addition to paying the rent on time every month, Dong Qiangqiang also insists on cleaning the bathroom every week. There is no noise in his life. Although he occasionally holds small parties in the kitchen, most of the time he abides by her requirements. In addition, Dong Qiangqiang was a good cook and would give her a plate of food from time to time. She was satisfied from the bottom of her heart with such a high-quality tenant.
So she was full of praise for Dong Qiangqiang, but she was also full of regrets about his departure. However, there was no such thing as a banquet in the world, and landlords and tenants could never escape from farewell.
The only thing that gave her some relief was that Dong Qiangqiang introduced Lu Shan over before leaving, so Sasha didn't have to bother looking for other tenants.
As a farewell souvenir, Dong Qiangqiang gave Sasha a set of exquisite Chinese cloisonné porcelain. Sending something is both a thank you and a favor to Lu Shan. After all, it is always beneficial to Lu Shan to have a good relationship with the landlord.
Sasha obviously didn't expect that Dong Qiangqiang would give her something. In a hurry, he took out a used silk scarf from the closet as a return gift. Dong Qiangqiang deliberately refused, but the Eastern Europeans couldn't hold back their enthusiasm, so in the end he had to accept it. Sasha further said that she would welcome Dong Qiangqiang to stay with her again when he returns to Hanover in the future. Of course, she would give him a friendship price.
Dong Qiangqiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this suggestion, so he could only vaguely change the topic.
Except for Lu Shan, Lao Bai and others were either leading tours, working or traveling, but were not in Hanover. And Dong Qiangqiang did not return to China completely, so he had a brief phone call with everyone and said goodbye.
As long as you don't have to catch a train when you go out, you will have much more freedom of movement. Seeing that it was still early, Dong Qiangqiang drove Lu Shan around the city and around the scenic spots.
He was about to leave Hannover. Looking at the place where he had lived and fought, Dong Qiangqiang felt a mixture of emotions, but he did not feel sad. He didn't think that meant he wasn't sad. As with many things, just because you're not sad doesn't mean it's not important. From May 2001 to September 2002, more than a year was neither long nor short. When I left, I felt very subtle. It seemed that I had gained a lot, but not even myself. It was like my soul was temporarily gone. Leaving his body felt the same as the first time he left home.
But the emotion only lasted a moment. In his heart, the expectation, longing and excitement for future study and life far outweighed the current reluctance. School was about to start and he started to get busy. He thought of Lao Bai's teaching again: no matter whether it was good or bad in the past, it is over. What is in front of him are always opportunities and challenges.
After giving himself a memorial, his life in Hannover came to an end.
Before leaving, he invited Lu Shan to dinner. Lu Shan's eyes were slightly red. After a few polite words, he raised a can of beer and said with an emotional expression: "Brother Qiang, you have always taken care of me since I came to Germany and helped me find the beer." The house also helped me find a sister, and introduced seniors like Brother Bai and Sister Tong to me. By the way, they also supported me in learning to drive. Unfortunately, I don’t have any skills and can’t help you, so everything is in the wine. I wish you a good academic performance as soon as possible. Done! The future is bright!" After saying that, he raised his head and drank the beer in one gulp.
"I asked you, when did you learn to be so social?" Dong Qiangqiang had just brought another can of beer in front of him when Lu Shan quickly held his hand down with quick eyesight: "Hey, don't drink while driving! It's not safe. !”
Before Dong Qiangqiang could be polite, Lu Shan lowered his head and took out a bulging package from his carry-on bag and gave it to Dong Qiangqiang.
"Hey! Isn't this big bag full of banknotes?" Dong Qiangqiang took the package, weighed it deliberately, and joked while making a strenuous gesture, "Did you win the lottery?"
"You have a long drive on the road, so I steamed some meat buns for you to eat on the way."
"Hey, what were you busy with in the kitchen this morning?" Dong Qiangqiang opened the package, and the smell of meat hit his nostrils, "The craftsmanship is good! Then I won't be polite."
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang accept all the orders, Lu Shan grinned happily: "There are a few CDs on there, which I usually listen to. You also have someone to relieve your boredom on the way."
"I'm ready." Dong Qiangqiang poured a glass of juice for Lu Shan and promised, "When I get settled, you are welcome to come see me at any time."
"I will definitely look for you, and by the way, there will be my sister too. We will look for you together." Lu Shan's eyes were shining with stars.
"Okay! Let's see you there then!" Dong Qiangqiang was moved by what he said, "I'll wait for you in Trier!"
After bidding farewell to Lu Shan, Dong Qiangqiang embarked on his way south.
The CD that Lu Shan gave him was really suitable for listening to while driving, from "Have a Happy Journey" to "Those Flowers", from "Hometown" to "Dusk".
On the winding highway, with tributaries of the Rhine River and undulating mountains on both sides, the setting sun dyes the whole world golden, as if adding a huge nostalgic filter to everything in this world.
Dong Qiangqiang turned the sound up to the maximum, and the parrot stood silently on his shoulder. The wind gently ruffled his hair. Listening to those moving melodies, a trace of long-lost parting sentiment arose in his heart.
When it was dark, Dong Qiangqiang finally arrived at the old lady's house.
Before he could move his things out of the car, Duanmu's phone call came after him.
"You didn't reply to my emails or phone calls." Duanmu's tone sounded like a question.
Dong Qiangqiang quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I had a lot of things in the morning, and I forgot about it when I was busy. Oh, by the way, I'm in Trier."
"It's not that you moved, but that you used my money to buy U.S. stocks. You won't forget, right? Did you read what I sent you?"
Dong Qiangqiang recalled for a while before he remembered that Duanmu had indeed made such a call that day, but he had been busy looking for a house and didn't even look at his mailbox.
"Sorry, I really didn't watch it. I promise to watch it tomorrow. The new home hasn't installed internet yet, so I won't be able to watch it today."
Duanmu paused on the other end of the phone for a long time and asked hesitantly, "Actually, what I wanted to say that day was, can you make an appointment with Lao Maozi to ask about this matter in person?"
