"What good thing?" Dong Qiangqiang was really curious: he had just called Lao Bai recently, but the other party didn't mention anything. The two of them had experienced so much before, so it was expected that Lao Bai would not hide anything good from him, but then he thought again. , Not to mention it is Lao Bai’s freedom, it is ridiculously pretentious to think so.
"Mr. Bai has made so many phone calls, so he must have made a fortune." He joked, "It seems that I need to emphasize to Mr. Bai the allusion of 'if you are rich, don't forget each other'."
Tong Le smiled happily and said nothing, and the unconcealed joy on her brows could be easily seen even by people who didn't know her well. Dong Qiangqiang knew that she was not the kind of person who would be happy when she got an advantage. It seemed that this good thing came from a big source.
"Did you... have it?" Dong Qiangqiang was really happy for Tong Lele, "Musicians are said to be efficient, boys or girls?"
"Hey you, what are you thinking about?" Tong Lele pretended to be angry and scolded, "Are you stupid from studying?"
"Hehe," Dong Qiangqiang smiled apologetically, rubbing the back of his head, "It seems I guessed wrong..."
"It's something else. He'll tell you later."
"By the way, you said before that you would go back to China to meet your parents in October. Did you meet them later?"
"No." Tong Lele shrugged, the light on his face suddenly dimmed, and said quietly, "Originally, the tickets were purchased, but they were refunded before the flight."
"Retired?" Dong Qiangqiang was puzzled, "Why?"
"A friend of Lao Bai temporarily transferred a large group to him, but he couldn't bear to part with it, so he didn't reply."
Although Tong Lele spoke lightly, Dong Qiangqiang had a feeling in his ears. It seemed that Tong Lele did not agree with Lao Bai's approach, but he could not defend Lao Bai, so he could only smooth things over: "Rescuing the group is like To put out the fire, if your friend is in trouble, there may really be nothing you can do. Otherwise, if you push it this time, they won’t give it to you next time.”
"It seems that men understand men," Tong Lele sighed softly, "So then I thought, let my parents come to Germany."
"Ah, the two elders came to Germany? When did it happen? October? November?" Dong Qiangqiang felt vaguely inappropriate after hearing this. It was inappropriate for the elder to look at the younger, both emotionally and rationally.
Tong Lele seemed to hear his thoughts and explained: "I didn't ask them to come here specifically to see Lao Bai. They were just traveling by the way. October happens to be the best tourist season in Germany."
"That's really nice."
"But God is not as good as God. My dad's visa was not approved."
"The tourist visa was also refused?" Dong Qiangqiang Meng was a little surprised when he heard it, but he thought of the answer after a second, "Because your father is old?"
Tong Lele looked aggrieved: "Lao Bai feels the same way, but my dad is only 72, and his face is also young."
"It depends on the mood of the visa officer that day. He may be afraid that your dad will come here in the name of tourism and then disappear..."
"My father disappeared while playing, what should I do about my mother? I really don't know what these Germans are thinking." Tong Lele was indignant, "It's like there is water in the brain."
"A visa is just a matter of luck. There is no reason or logic. What happened next? Is your mother the only one who came here?"
"No, my mother won't come when she's angry, so the two of us are planning to go back to China during the Spring Festival. We'll even take care of our parents during the New Year. It's best to take the wedding photos and banquet at once, but I guess the wedding photos will still be taken care of. There is a chance that I can’t even book a hotel for a banquet. I heard that now BJ weddings have to book a hotel 3-5 months in advance for a banquet. I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
"Do you want to hold a banquet in China? Many newlyweds find it too troublesome to hold a banquet, so they use honeymoon travel instead." Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: Tong Lele is the first marriage after all, so it is normal for her parents to have this request.
Tong Lele nodded solemnly: "My dad said he only has one request: there must be a banquet. As for the honeymoon trip, he will not interfere, but if it is done in Germany, the people my parents went with before will be in vain, so we can only Let’s do it back home.”
"That's the truth." Dong Qiangqiang agreed.
"It will definitely be the same when you get married to Du Lan in the future..." Tong Lele was about to continue, when the window of the Mercedes-Benz business car slowly lowered, and a head poked out, with a pair of fashionable sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and he greeted Dong Qiangqiang. Waved for him to come over.
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's eyes drifting to the side, Tong Lele knew what was going on and pursed her lips: "The emperor has summoned him, why don't you hurry up and receive the order?"
Dong Qiangqiang also smiled. He walked to the Mercedes-Benz in three steps and two steps at a time, patting the door and looking at the people in the car.
Lao Bai, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had a neatly cropped haircut, and there was a faint layer of green stubble on his chin, which looked like the grass buds in early spring that had carefully poked their heads out of the ground after a winter of dormancy. The pilot's brown fur collar The leather jacket paired with the blue and white plaid shirt made him look smart and smart, and he was more energetic than the last time we saw him.
"My dear, the cars have also changed, and the crowds have become more crowded..." Dong Qiangqiang looked back at Tong Lele, who was chatting and laughing with He Yuanjin, and said jokingly, "Where did Boss Bai get rich recently? Don't forget that he is still poor. Brothers..."
Somehow, as soon as he met Lei Lanting, Lao Bai, Tong Lele and others, Dong Qiangqiang wanted to say something. He hadn't spoken so happily in a long time.
"I just took a tour yesterday. I rented it for the purpose of leading a group." Lao Bai took off his sunglasses and put them into his coat pocket. "What are your plans later?"
"First we wander around the city, visit the Christmas market, and then go to the public kitchen in the university dormitory to eat. The kitchen has been rented, and there is a TV and a karaoke machine. You can make dumplings, eat, watch movies, and chat. Set off the fireworks as you please, everything has been bought. Then rush back to the city center before midnight to watch the fireworks show at the Christmas market. When the fireworks are over, it’s almost time. Drive back to the B&B, and I’ll stay with you tonight.”
"Du Lan didn't come?" Lao Bai was a little surprised.
"She just came here a while ago and can't leave now. She has an exam coming soon and has heavy review tasks, so she won't be able to come. I'll give her a call later."
"Then let's not go to eat after visiting the market. Everyone said on the way just now that they want to visit the place where you live now. I will give you your gift by the way. After watching it, we will go to the kitchen. Do you want to do the rest as you said? question."
"It's okay to go. Then I'll say hello to the landlord later. Although the old lady is very nice, I'm afraid she won't let you in unless I say hello in advance."
"Not as easy to talk to as the previous (landlord) in Hanover?"
"yes."
Lao Bai took a cigarette in his mouth and handed one to Dong Qiangqiang. Dong Qiangqiang smiled and waved his hand. Lao Bai didn't force himself and put away the cigarette again. He lowered his head and packed his things and asked: "There is a Deutsche Bank over here (Note) : abbreviation for Deutsche Bank)?”
"It's about 500 meters away from us, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk through the Christmas market."
"Let's go." Lao Bai said and got out of the car.
Except for Lu Shan, everyone else is an old man who has been studying in Germany for many years and has long lost the novelty of the Christmas market. Lao Bai suggested that everyone go their own way and meet at the parking lot in an hour, but Lu Shan insisted that everyone go shopping together. Lu Wei rarely expressed the same idea as his brother. Lao Bai accepted the advice fluently, and everyone stepped on the circle. The cobbled road leads towards the main Christmas market in the city center.
Thick gray-blue clouds with a hint of purple were pressing heavily on everyone's heads, making people feel that they were within reach. There was a chill in the air, and the cold wind blowing from all directions blew the colorful flags on both sides of the streets. The snowflakes that were still floating at noon were unknowingly withdrawn from the clouds by God. Before five o'clock in the afternoon, the place without lights was already submerged in semi-darkness, just like the place where Christmas lights were hung. Two worlds.
