"Okay, I'll go. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Hearing his grandmother's answer, Lu Li nodded vigorously, becoming more and more firm in his deep belief, and secretly clenched his fists, "Then it's decided!" The smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth couldn't help but bloom, "Grandma, believe me, you will like it here." Now that you can try to start learning English, why don't you practise 'hello' and 'thank you'? ”

Lu Li's cordial explanation made Yuan Qingzhu laugh, and then complained without giving face, "I studied English for a period of time when I was very young. Although I almost forgot it when I grew up, 'hello' and 'thank you' are still no problem, don't underestimate me. ”

Lu Li really forgot about this stubble, but he didn't expect that his grandmother would take the initiative to mention it now. Lu Li couldn't help but move, and the thumb of his left hand touched the tail ring on his little finger and turned it slightly. Perhaps, this was a good opportunity for him to find out the origin of the ring without revealing his feet.

"You mean the foreign teacher, right? Mom mentioned it to me once. Lu Li didn't deliberately emphasize, as if he just remembered it unintentionally, and said in a verifiable manner.

"Yes." Yuan Qingzhu nodded to confirm Lu Li's guess, "When I was very young, my family hired this foreigner as a tutor to come and teach me to paint, and after learning to paint, I could draw patterns by myself and then make embroidery." At that time I learned a little bit of English, and then some German, but I can't remember it at all. ”

Yuan Qingzhu remembered the memories of his childhood, and his tone couldn't help but relax, with a hint of a smile.

But Lu Li's heart tugged, because he heard "Devon", and according to speculation, the Degas in the ring was stolen by the Germans. So, the owner of this ring is the teacher?

"You've studied German? That's amazing! Lu Li was thinking about how to get into the topic, and he couldn't ask directly: Did the ring you gave me before come from this teacher?

In this way, it is too obvious, because that ring has not shown anything special in the past so many years, and Lu Li has not particularly cared about it, and completely wears it as an ordinary tail ring. At this time, I suddenly became curious, and I contacted the foreign teacher without any basis, which really doesn't make sense.

How can you ask without revealing the space of the ring?

"I forgot, I forgot everything, even the most basic greetings." Yuan Qingzhu said with a smile, shaking his head again and again, hiding his shyness, "Back then, that teacher lived in our house, and everyone was very curious. In the ravine, no one had ever seen a foreigner, but suddenly one came, and everyone came to join in the fun. However, many people were disappointed. ”

"Disappointed?" Lu Li took the opportunity to continue.

"That's right." Yuan Qingzhu didn't notice anything abnormal, "He has black hair and looks the same as us, but his hair is curly, which is still a bit strange." But other than that, no one noticed the difference. So, for a long time, the children of the village thought that it was a foreigner who curled his hair. Ha ha! ”

Yuan Qingzhu laughed directly, and even Lu Li laughed, and the simplicity and narrow-mindedness of the rural residents were reflected at the same time.

"However, if you look closely, you will see that his eyes are actually blue, which is still different from ours." Yuan Qingzhu paused for a moment, fell into memory, his voice was slightly lost, and gradually lowered, "However, he was sick, he didn't last long, and then he died......"

The words that followed, Lu Li couldn't hear them anymore, it seemed to be his grandmother's self-talk.

Lu Li didn't ask, he knew that it was his grandmother's own memory, treasured in the depths of his memory. If she wants to, she will take the initiative to share; But if you don't want to, that's her most precious part.

"He was really a very knowledgeable person, and he told me that the world is so much bigger than we think, and if we don't get out and about, we'll always think that's what the world is all about." Yuan Qingzhu's words were a little sad and a little cheerful, "I remember, he also drew me a map of the world, and then told me the location of his hometown. At that time, it would have taken months to get past our home. ”

"He's German?" Lu Li seized the opportunity and asked in a timely manner.

"No, it's not." Yuan Qingzhu shook his head again and again, denied it, and then suddenly stopped, "Where is he from?" After a moment of silence, she shook her head again and smiled helplessly, "Now that I'm older, I can't remember a lot of things." But I know that he is not a German, but the ...... It was the people who faced the same disaster as the Nanjing Massacre during the war. ”

Jew, that teacher turned out to be Jewish.

During World War II, the Jews were in a terrible situation, so why did Jews come to China?

"By the way, didn't I give you a ring before? The ring was his gift to me, his last gift to me before he died. Yuan Qingzhu took the initiative to mention this matter, but this time, Lu Li was not happy, but became more and more confused.

This teacher is a Jew, a Jew who suffered a bloody massacre during World War II, and his life is in danger in the real sense of the word; But the painting inside the ring was stolen by the Germans from the Soviet Union - at least according to the rumors, so why did the German ring end up in the hands of a Jew? Or is it that the ring originally belonged to the Jews, but the Degas painting inside was not as rumored, and the Germans stole it from the Soviet Union, so how did the painting come about?

It is worth mentioning that this teacher teaches painting, so those practice paintings in the ring are all his handwriting? Or is it someone else?

After learning the origin of the ring, not only were the questions not answered, but more and more, and fell into a fog.

"Really?" The disturbing thoughts in Lu Li's mind were only for a moment, and he immediately answered, "Did he say how this ring came from?" I remember when you gave me the ring, you said that this ring has a long history. I thought it was the history of our family. ”

"Haha." Yuan Qingzhu was amused by Lu Li's curious tone, "No, it's not." The ring was from the teacher, but it makes sense. The teacher came back with my father, your maternal great-grandfather, all the way south from Nanjing; Then the teacher taught me to draw for a few years, and then he gave it to me, and I gave it to you, so this is indeed a history, a history that belongs to our family. ”

Lu Li also laughed, "So, this will be used as our family's heirloom in the future?" Brother Kong Ming knew that he was going to be disappointed. "Lu Li is really, this is a space ring, anyone who misses it will regret it.

"This ring is mine, and I can give it to whoever I want. Now it's your Lu family, and it will be a family heirloom in the future, so let's continue to pass it on. It's up to you to pass it on to your son or to your woman. Yuan Qingzhu said very generously, which made Lu Li laugh even more happily - he didn't even have a girlfriend yet, and this family heirloom was already ready.

"The teacher told me that this ring has a long history and has a special meaning." Yuan Qingzhu added, "It's just that his condition was really serious at that time, and he couldn't talk to me too much." In addition, his Chinese level is also average, some words I can understand, some I can't. So...... I don't know very well, either. ”

Yuan Qingzhu didn't say much, but Lu Li could piece together that story. In Yuan Qingzhu's young years, there was a Jew from a foreign country who taught her to paint, to be independent and self-reliant, and to have a heart to explore the world...... And also left a ring as a precious gift.

That foreign teacher lit up Yuan Qingzhu's life and completely changed the trajectory of her life. Perhaps, Yuan Qingzhu was not able to leave that small village, but her wishes, her dreams, and her visions all became a reality in Lu Li's body in the end. Half a century later, a seed planted at the beginning has finally grown into a towering tree.

Is this reincarnation, or fate?

"Then I have to thank this teacher." Lu Li said sincerely.

Yuan Qingzhu couldn't understand it at all, and said with a smile, "What are you thanking him for?" ”

"Thank you for broadening your horizons so that I can learn from you that the world is really too big, and we are just a tiny dust in it; I can also learn from you that it is not society, family, or fetters that binds my future and hope, but myself. Lu Li's words made Yuan Qingzhu's eyes moisten slightly, and a faint touch drifted in his heart.

Also, thank him for bringing this spatial ring.

The gaze fell on the cloud-top ranch in front of me, and the ranch in the middle of the night was shrouded in the cold moonlight, with a quiet and empty beauty. "Grandma, you must come to the Cloud Peak Ranch to have a look."

Lu Li became more and more determined in this idea, and it was as if there was a red rope in the dark, pulling them towards the predetermined position of fate. Lu Li didn't know what would happen after his grandmother came over; But he sincerely hopes that his grandmother can stand on this land, enjoy the scenery he sees now, and feel the beauty he now experienced.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely pass." Yuan Qingzhu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his smile bloomed in the hazy tears, "Okay, the long-distance phone bill is so expensive, let's do it today." The next time your second aunt comes over, we'll just use the computer to talk. ”

"Okay, okay." Lu Li nodded yes again and again, and just when his grandmother was about to hang up the phone, he remembered a very important thing, "Grandma! ”

Yuan Qingzhu had already taken down the phone, and Lu Li's loud roar made her stop her movements and put it in her ear again, "What's wrong?" ”

"What's that teacher's name?" Lu asked at the entrance of the mouth.

Yuan Qingzhu didn't answer immediately, paused for a moment, and said, "Albert, his name is Albert Cohen. ”
