Sailing back to the dock behind the statue of Christ, Jonas had not yet disembarked when several figures stumbled down the crevices in the rocks.

"Jonas, we're going to take a boat too. ”

"Brother, take us out to play. ”

There is also a small one, who can't keep up with his little short legs, crying and shouting: "Brother, sister, wait for me......"

Jonasden's head was big and he shouted, "You can't go on a boat without your life jackets." ”

The three little ones on the shore were none other than his three half-siblings. They inherited the unreliability of their mother, Emir, as three lawless bear children, who gave Jonas a headache every time they came.

The eldest, Albert, who was ten years old, moved quickly, jumped up at once before the ship could get to a firm footing, and then hurried down to the cabin, which was a few floors lower than the deck, and sat down on the sofa.

The younger sister Isabel lifted her legs, but she didn't dare to get up, and made a pitiful expression in the face of Jonas and stretched out her hand. "Brother Jonas, help me ......"

Jonas sighed and reached out to lead her to the ship, where she also quickly sat down in the cabin.

The youngest, Gary Buel, who was only four years old this year, held on to the rock, walked down to the pier step by step, and ran as fast as she could, tears streaming everywhere, looking sad.

But as soon as Jonas embraced her, she immediately burst into laughter, and her little mouth, full of snot and tears, suddenly came up and kissed Jonas on the face. "Jonas, I miss you. ”

Disgusted, Jonas hugged her with one hand and wiped his face. "Call brother. ”

She was very well-behaved at this time, and quickly changed her words. "Brother Jonas, I miss you. ”

Hannah also descended the stairs between the cracks in the rock, and was relieved to see Jonas. "You play with them for a while, I still have something to go to Wald's house in Meghan's town......"

Jonas chuckled, and when Hannah went to church in the morning, she politely declined Mrs. Wald's invitation to stay with Jonas on the weekend, but now she wanted to slip away, of course, for the sake of the little ones.

Jonas didn't break Hannah's thoughts, and looked over the rocks, but didn't see his mother, Emir, coming. "Where's my mother?"

She said she wanted to eat the sweet cherries of the Ibach family, so she took the three of them to Switzerland. ”

Madame Ibach was a good friend of his mother, Emile, and their home was in Gordau, north of Mount Rigi, in the canton of Schwyz, where the famous Swiss Army Knife was produced.

In addition to the famous Swiss Army knife, Schwyz is the most famous cherry, which is very large and sweet, and is on par with Chilean cherries.

"What about her? Doesn't she go cherry picking and don't take the kids with her?"

Albert answered this question for Hannah. "Mom was so stupid that she forgot to bring us the old clothes she had prepared, so now she goes to Lucerne to buy a smock. ”

Jonas understood that Swiss cherry trees are not allowed to be sprayed with pesticides, and even if they are long insects, they can only be removed by physical methods, not chemical methods.

So in addition to the delicious cherries, there will be many bugs on the cherry tree. Some of these bugs are just scary, but many are poisonous and can cause itchy or painful skin when they fall on the body.

However, it was only after running from France to Switzerland that he remembered to buy a smock, which made Jonas unable to complain.

He nodded to his grandmother, offered to take a few children, and then turned to them and asked, "Give you a choice, do you want to wait a while to pick cherries or go boating." ”

Isabel glared at her big pure eyes and asked, "Why can't you row first and then go cherry picking?"

Hannah laughed, turned and walked away. "Jonas, if you're going to take them on a boat, remember to put them in life jackets. I'll go first......"

"Grandma, will you come back for dinner in the evening?"

"Of course, I'll be back around six. ”

looked at a few younger brothers and sisters who pretended to have pitiful expressions, although they knew that they were pretending, but they couldn't bear to refuse them.

He opened the tool room with Gary Buel in his arms, which contained a rubber tire and several large life jackets.

Jonas didn't care if it was appropriate or not, let a few of them put it on, and then rowed the boat off the dock, maneuvering the crossbar, and taking them around the lake.

The younger siblings were happy and kept patting Jonas on the back. "You're so nice, Jonas. ”

"Call brother!"

"Brother, you're so nice......"

"Brother, you're so nice......"

Not to be outdone, the youngest Gary Buel shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother, you are so good......"

In less than ten minutes, his mother, Emir, appeared on the dock and shouted, "Dear Jonas, you can come back with them." We also need to hurry up and get to Goredau. Are you going to come with us?"

Isabel said, "Come with us, brother, I'll sit on your shoulder, and I'll be able to pick cherries directly." ”

Jonas gave her a blank look and replied to the shore, "No, I won't go. ”

Rowing the boat back to the dock, Jonas let his younger siblings go up first, and Emir, like a little girl who dresses up with her toys, doesn't care about how the toys feel, and takes off her life jackets from them.

Although her movements were rude, the children were very solid, and even if they grinned, they did not resist.

"Jonas, I heard that you have applied to the University of Zurich, but why don't you study art, you want to study finance? Being a happy artist has a happy life, and it's hard for me to imagine that you are as old-fashioned, serious, and ...... as your grandfather Fun ......"

"Mom, it's my choice. It's like when you chose to divorce your father. ”

"I'm not trying to interfere with your choices, I just think you should choose the life you want......"

"That's what I want in life. ”

"Alright!" Emir tore off the life jackets for the children and came to Jonas. "You've grown taller again, don't grow any more, it's too tall and not good-looking. ”

Jonas was speechless, this was beyond my control. She hugged Jonas, tiptoed and kissed Jonas twice on the cheek, then turned around and shouted, "You guys, hurry up and go up, whoever is not ready before I go up, don't go." ”

This sentence was so powerful that the children hurriedly said goodbye to Jonas and ran up as fast as they could.

The youngest Gary Buel was in a hurry again. "Albert, Isabel, wait for me......"

Jonas was deeply sympathetic to her, and it was their helplessness to have such a mother.

"Are you going to have dinner at Aunt Celta's house in the evening, or are you coming back for dinner? ”

Emile immediately became excited, and said, "Hannah said that you will cook delicious Chinese food, and although the dishes are a little greasy, it feels good to eat them once in a while." So ......"

"I understand that the evening will not disappoint you. ”

"That's good. Satisfied, the emir turned and walked away. "You can clean up these things yourself, I'm in a hurry. ”

Walking to the bottom of the rock, she remembered again and turned around and asked, "Stephanie is now studying in Paris, if I run into her, I will definitely help you scold her." My Jonas is the best, she doesn't know how to cherish ......"

Jonas waved his hand: "You hurry up and pick cherries, I don't have to worry about my business." ”

She was a peasant woman in Burgundy, 108,000 miles from Paris, and that was too uncredible.

But she felt that she had fulfilled her mother's responsibilities and laughed contentedly. "Remember to have a big dinner in the evening, and our bedroom, you'll arrange it for us, right?"

"Don't worry!"

Soon the emir was gone, and Jonas crouched on the dock to pick up the life jackets that had been thrown on the ground, and then removed the sails, masts, and crossbars from the ship.

A little psychological turmoil before meeting the emir soon calmed down, and even a little boring.

Sitting on the wooden railing of the dock, he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but unfortunately, it was not part of his daily equipment......

His mother, Emile, was a free-spirited typical French woman, while Yannick was an atypical serious German.

The two were attracted to each other at a young age and formed a family, but conflicts soon appeared.

When Jonas was three or four years old, the two of them were separated, and in order to fight for the custody of Jonas, the two had a quarrel for several years.

Of course, this is the Emir's trouble, and she wants custody of Jonas, but this is obviously impossible.

At that time, the Hoffman family only had a third generation of Jonas, and Jonas's grandfather and grandmother were spoiled to the top of their hearts, how could they give up his custody.

Jonas remained in Switzerland, and Emile returned to France to marry her boyfriend Eugenie, who was a childhood sweetheart and she had never given up on marriage.

Eugénie was the eldest son of the Jair family, lived in Romeneer, and was a simple "farmer".

Of course, so is the Dweeland family, so the two can be said to be a good match.

It's just that the estate of the two families is not small, they can't be regarded as ordinary farmers, and even compared to the Dverand family, the Jair's family has a larger estate.

The largest estate of the Dverand family is half ownership of the Romanée-Conti brand in Romané, which has a total of seven vineyards, each of which is worth a lot of money.

Henry Jair, the father of Eugénie, of the Jairs, was even more powerful than Jonas's uncle.

He is one of France's finest winemakers, owning four vineyards and more than seven, and owning only a slightly inferior wine brand to Romanée Conti.

After Emile married Eugenie, he had three children, and although it was a second marriage, he still had a great say.

She happily and simply enjoyed the old aristocratic life in Burgundy, growing grapes and making wine every year, and traveling around the world in her spare time.

In the past, Jonas felt that he was a superfluous person, and because of the strength of his elders, he became introverted and sentimental.

After a moment's pause, Jonas sped up his cleanup. In the evening, this stupid, sweet, careless mother must have a satisfactory meal, or his ears will suffer again.
