"Oh, it's Paul, I haven't seen that kid in years. Time flies, and Paul was about his age when the store opened. ”

There is a problem with old men at home and abroad, when they see children, they will think of their own youth, and then they will talk endlessly, regardless of whether others want to listen to it or not.

Of course, Hong Tao didn't want to listen to it, and if he hadn't ruined his plan to seize the scarf, it wouldn't hurt to listen to a few words for the sake of free coffee. But now it's not possible, just hold the child and go out. The team didn't see it, and the scarf didn't grab it, so why didn't they hurry to the old Marx's house, and they couldn't even get lunch if they delayed it.

Marx's house is located in the southwest corner of the lakeshore, which is considered the edge of the town, but it is not difficult to find because there are only three roads in the town, which are distributed in a Y-shape in the middle of the town.

To the north, there is a motorway to the A8, and the flood is coming along it. One to the southeast is a mountain road that leads through the Alps into Austria.

The one on the west side is a road around the lake, and you can find Marx's house along it. This is the harvest of chatting with Lucas, it is said that Marx's old house is very distinctive, and the wooden gable on the second floor has a family crest carved into it, which is very recognizable.

The organic combination of flowers, art and architecture is the conclusion of Hong Tao's drive a few hundred meters along the road around the lake. The houses here are basically wooden, with most of them on the second floor, some on the third floor, and almost no visible ones on the first floor.

They all have a pointed herringbone roof, which is at a smaller angle than the roof angle of traditional Chinese tiled houses, which is a choice made by natural conditions.

Although the climate in southern Germany is not cold, the snowfall is not less than in the northern part of our country, and this pointed shape can effectively prevent the snow from crushing the roof. If you make the roof so sharp, it will naturally have to be high, so the second and third floors are the most economical, and the first floor will waste a lot of space.

In addition to the form, these wooden houses also have one thing in common, balconies, large floating balconies. Not only on one side, but some even have balconies on three sides, which are also wooden.

On the edges of these balconies are pots of blooming flowers, small and brightly colored. One or two pots don't see anything, but if they are arranged in a large row, they are a bit eye-catching.

The residents of the town were obviously not satisfied with a bit of eye-catching, and they did not agree to one row, and had to arrange several rows, the first, second, and third floors, and they had to pick two or three colors of flowers to mix together.

In this way, almost every house is a large flower bed, red, yellow, white, colorful. Walking in the middle of these houses, I can't help but feel a lot more relaxed.

Flowers alone don't seem to satisfy the town's love of life, and they continue to decorate their houses with carvings and paintings.

Because the houses are made of wood, the most wood carvings in the town are there. Balconies, porches, windows, roofs, all places where you can show off your craftsmanship will basically make shapes, and some of them look like ordinary craftsmanship, but they have a simple beauty.

Like wood carving, murals are also common, painted on the exterior walls of houses. There are various themes such as religion, animation themes, natural landscapes, animals, etc., and the skills are the same as wood carving, which are not from some masters, and they are very natural.

"This should be your grandfather's house, it seems that he is still a fan of red pants...... Lucas is not wrong, Hong Tao has seen from afar that there is a three-story small wooden building that is more special.

It is darker in color, looks very old, and the family emblem is also eye-catching, which is a green bear. But the most striking thing is not the emblem or the building, but a mural on the façade. Comrade Superman, who is more than three meters tall, raised an arm in the air, as if he was about to take off.

"Shall we go in directly?" was about to see his grandfather, but Ma Chao was a little timid and uneasy. It is estimated that he is not sure whether this grandfather, who has never met before, will like him, or whether he likes him or not.

"Your grandfather is not a member of the royal family, so we don't need to queue up when we see him. You even dare to dig the lawn of the sheriff's house in the town, will you be afraid to see a retired engineer old man?" Hong Tao has never seen his grandfather, nor can he understand Ma Chao's current feelings, and he can't enlighten, but he will use the method of agitation.

"I am a glorious pirate, and I will conquer the whole world in the future, and no one is afraid!" If Hong Tao was present, Ma Chao wouldn't have been able to muster too much courage, but Hong Qi's eyes made his blood boil a little. If you don't say that women are a disaster, sometimes stupid old men are crushed because of this sight.

"It seems that your grandfather is not cowardly, this should be a real bear head. "There is no artificial fence around the house, just a lot of trees, and a large yard naturally forms in the middle.

At the entrance was a small wooden house, which looked like a garage or utility room, with a grinning bear head inlaid with a toothy bear on the opposite door, and a line of German underneath. Hong Tao even guessed, thinking that it should be the meaning of the Xiong House or the Xiong family.

"Mr. Marx...... Mr. Marx ...... "The yard was silent, except for the two rabbits under the eaves of the garage clattering on vegetable leaves in their cages.

Hong Tao pulled over and walked straight to the tall house, but he didn't dare to go up the steps, just shouted in English. He was afraid that something like a dog would come out, and the German wolfdog, if he was bitten, he couldn't cry out, so it was better to be cautious.

"Wang Wang...... Sure enough, soon the door opened, and it was not a person who came out first, but a big black back more than a meter long, and there was no rigging around his neck. As soon as it came out, it ran to the edge of the stairs and issued a solemn warning to the stranger Hong Tao.

"Hey, Paul, be polite. You are Paul's Chinese friend, called ...... Sorry, I don't have a very good memory, I should ...... Found it, Aite, huh?"

Behind the black was a tall figure, suede shoes, jeans, checkered shirts, leather shoulders, if a little thinner and a little less wrinkled on the face, it was a large Richard.

The old man's eyes crossed Hong Tao and stopped at Hong Qi and Ma Chao, and then the wrinkles on his face stretched a lot, while guessing Hong Tao's identity, he took out a small note from his pocket and looked at it a few times before calling out Hong Tao's name.

"Come here, what are you hiding, this is your grandfather, hurry up. Hello Mr. Leohard, he is William, the son of Paul, and he is a little shy. ”

Since the old man had his own information, Hong Tao also saved himself from introducing himself, first yelled at Ma Chao who was still rubbing by the car in Chinese, and then introduced Ma Chao's identity in English.

But what he really wanted to do was to take the note in the old man's hand and read it, Paul must have been vaccinated with the old man in advance, and there should be a lot of slander about himself.

"Hello...... Grandpa ...... "If there was no Hong Tao staring, Ma Chao would probably turn around and run." His grandfather is really like an old lion like his name, especially the yellow beard, which is very scary.

"Oh hehe...... Hello William, we've met, and you're that old then. "No matter whether the old man in the world has a beard or not, and whether the hair color is yellow or black, the smile after seeing his grandson should be about the same.

"This is my daughter Elaine, who has always lived in the United States with William. Seeing Ma Chao's appearance, he obviously didn't plan to have an intimate hug with the old man, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Hong Tao simply pulled Hong Qi over to find a step for the old man.

"Hello Captain, William is lucky, everyone wants to have a beautiful captain. "The old man's true temperament and his appearance are obviously not in harmony, he looks like a majestic lion, but in fact he laughs very kindly, and a little funny, mainly because the beard moves with his expression.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Afternoon, William and I do not yet have our own sailboat and cannot let the world know our names. But Aite had a galleon, and he had promised to sail it alone when we were sixteen. Can you sail a galleon? We don't have a reliable sailor. ”

Compared with Ma Chao, Hong Qi is much more generous, not frightened by the old man's beard at all, and uses the kinship between Ma Chao and the old man to pull up a strong man for his future ambition and hegemony, as for whether the old Marx can live until she is sixteen years old, this is not a problem she can consider.
