"John, Ivan, Sam......" Leon called out to the three dogs as he dodged Caroline's greeting. Mom, I'm with Brother Jonas, and I promise I won't cause trouble on the road. ”

Audrey looked at the coquettish Leone and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Everyone in the family was older than her, except for Leon, who was only ten years old. Only in front of him can she find a little pride in being a "sister-in-law".

Caroline looked at Zhou Nan, shook her head and said, "No, only in front of me can I feel at ease with you." ”

Leon looked at Zhou Nan for help, and his pitiful eyes looked distressing. Zhou Nan sighed and said, "Mother Caroline, hand him over to me, I will take care of him on the road." ”

Leon hurriedly said, "Mom, I will be very obedient......"

Leon, who is only ten years old this year, is the only boy in the Hoffman family, and has been favored since he was a child, and he has also developed a somewhat out-of-the-box character. At his age, people are tired of dogs, and if they are not careful, they will make a little trouble.

The convoy was about to depart, and he couldn't stand the constraints of sitting in a car with his parents at all, and wanted to sit in a big truck.

Caroline heard Zhou Nan's assurance, curled her brows and said, "Okay, I will allow you to get out of my sight for a while, but...... Jonas, you promise to restrain him! ”

Zhou Nan looked at Leon who was pleading and nodded. "Yes."

She smiled happily and said deliberately disappointed: "Okay, since you made a promise, then you can take care of him along the way." If he doesn't obey, I authorize you to beat him hard! ”

Having said that, since he was a child, Zhou Nan would only wipe Leon's buttocks, and he was never willing to move a finger. As the de facto adopted son of this family, Zhou Nan has always been very favored, and he can't have conflicts with several younger siblings because of a little dispute, but he will always take care of them.

Villa also took a week's off, attending Zhounan's engagement and visiting his new home in Leverkusen before returning to Brussels for work.

Claudio, who is still in secondary school, and Leon, who is still in primary school, will also re-enter the new school after relocating to Leverkusen.

Yannick drove his own car, with Caroline next to him and Vera and Claudio in the back. It was followed by a large truck carrying some valuable and memorable furniture from the Hamburg family, as well as Zhounan's luggage and books.

The huge Kelly sat next to the driver, and there was only a thin man like Audrey sitting next to her. However, Zhou Nan and Audrey, including Leon, who wanted to stay away from his parents, did not want to compete for a place with Kelly.

The position in the carriage is still relatively large, spread a thick quilt in the carriage, and then sit inside, there is a wider space than sitting in the front.

Mrs. Hemstra took Audrey's hand, and although her character was stronger than that of ordinary men, she could not hold back her tears. And Audrey's two aunts and aunts cried even more silently.

Audrey is only fourteen years old, but now the world is going to be different. In such an era, no one knows if this separation will become a lifelong farewell, so everyone cried.

Only the elderly Mrs. Hemstra, standing alone by the river of the villa, quietly looked at the house that had belonged to her, and her calm expression made it impossible to tell what was going on in her heart.

Salinger, the driver of the van, started the car, and a puff of black smoke erupted along the exhaust pipe under the car. The pungent smell also reminded everyone that they were now under the surveillance of the Germans, and everyone slowly gathered their emotions and said goodbye again.

Although Yannick and Caroline are very fond of Audrey, they are relatively cold to Mrs. Hemstra because they are still bordered by countries and nationalities.

At this time, they were not easy to persuade, so they could only let Zhou Nan comfort these women who were emotionally up.

Although Zhou Nan's life experience is very rich, it definitely does not include getting along with women. Once in another life, a village woman who had not gone to school could make him miserable, and he had no experience in getting along with women at all, so he could only treat them with a normal heart.

He looked at the crying women with some helplessness, beckoned to Leon, who had already climbed into the carriage with three dogs, and asked him to come over with a bamboo flute.

A melodious flute sounded, and the crowd at the door of the villa looked over and listened to the music played by Zhou Nan. Several windows of the villa were also opened, and different people stood in the windows, the same thing, they were all attracted by the sound of Zhou Nan's music.

Zhou Nan played "Dreaming of Home and Mother" written by American composer John Pound O'Deway nearly 100 years ago, which was composed during the American Civil War and circulated around the world in the late 19th century.

After it spread to Asia, the Japanese wrote the lyrics for this piece as "Travel Sorrow". In 1915, Master Hongyi, who was studying in Japan, heard this song and filled it with Chinese lyrics, which became a well-known "farewell" for all Chinese.

With its melodious melody and classic lyrics, the song has been around for more than a hundred years, and in the twenty-first century, the song is still very popular.

Zhou Nan has forgotten the other meanings of this song, and what he remembers most is the eternal meaning of farewell. At a time like this, this song couldn't be more appropriate.

Hearing such a melodious melody, and the Germans were also alarmed, a group of women finally stopped crying.

When the music stopped, loud applause erupted all around. Zhou Nan handed the bamboo flute to Leon in the car, nodded around in thanks, and walked over to Audrey, who was still nestled in Mrs. Hemstra's arms.

Mrs. Hemstra's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Zhou Nan with a smile on her face. "Jonas, Audrey will please you in the future, I only hope that in the years to come, you can always remember the best moments between you and Audrey, never forget your original intention, and cherish her."

Audrey's eyes were red and swollen, tears couldn't stop flowing down, looking at her mother and Zhou Nan, but with a sweet smile on her face.

"Madame, rest assured. If the world is an adventure, I would like to go hand in hand with Audrey. If this world is a dream, Audrey will always be my best dream. I will cherish her as much as you cherish her. ”

Mrs. Hemstra let go of Audrey and gently hugged Zhou Nan, "Remember your promise, I will pray for you forever in the Netherlands." ”

Letting go of Zhou Nan, she turned around and took Audrey's hand, took her hand and handed it to Zhou Nan's palm. "Let's go...... When the war ends, it is the time when we meet again. ”

Mrs. Kamprad also leaned over and hugged Zhou Nan gently. "Jonas, I will always remember what you have done for me, and God will surely bless you, for you are our angel."

Although Zhou Nan didn't do much, he got many passes for them. Without these passes, it would have been impossible for them to leave Arnhem and apply for visas to Spain. What's more, Zhou Nan also exchanged some money for them, without which they didn't even have the money to leave Arnhem, let alone go to Spain to settle down and buy a house.

Now, they are also able to leave the Netherlands, and in their hearts, they are also sincerely grateful to Zhou Nan who changed their fate.

Despite all the reluctance, the time of separation has come. After the buffer of a tune, everyone's emotions were able to be controlled, and it was Mrs. Hemsstra who urged Zhou Nan to hurry up and get into the car.

Handing the bamboo flute to Leon in the car, Zhou Nan pedaled the ladder behind the car and climbed onto the carriage. Then he turned and leaned over and stretched out his hand to Audrey under the car.

Audrey turned back to hug her mother, and then hugged her grandmother calmly. At their urging, he came to the back of the car and stretched out his hand to Zhou Nan in the car.

When she got into the carriage, she leaned helplessly in Zhou Nan's arms, and kept waving goodbye to her mother and grandmother with tears in her eyes. Except for Zhou Nan who knew that the war would end in two years, and everyone would be able to see each other again in about two or three years, they didn't know if this separation would never be seen again.

The car moved slowly, and the crowd of farewells finally disappeared from sight. After crying, Audrey leaned weakly into Zhou Nan's arms, immersed in her sad emotions.

Zhou Nan hugged her, rested his chin on her somewhat thin shoulder, and comforted her softly in her ear.

This kind of fleshy strength made Leon, who didn't know how to love yet, grin on the side, but seeing that Zhou Nan ignored him, he had to keep amusing with the three dogs.

The two cars traveled south, and after half an hour, they crossed Nijmegen to the border between the Netherlands and Germany. Here, after passing through a security check, the car enters Germany, and along the newly built Route 9, the car moves smoothly towards Leverkusen.

When the cars pass through the industrial town of Düsseldorf, they are not far from their destination.

Although Audrey grew up in an aristocratic family, she didn't actually enjoy much happiness. During her early childhood, she moved constantly between Belgium and England as her father's job changed.

After finally settling in England, her father abandoned his wife and daughter to follow the Nazis in Germany because he was a follower of the Nazis. This also led to discrimination against her and her mother in the UK, and she had no financial resources to live, so she had to return to the Netherlands and seek help from her parents.

In the past few years, she has been living in a hard life, and the status of nobility has not brought her any benefits, but has become their original sin.

She hadn't left Arnhem since she was growing up, and this was the first time she had stepped out of the house as an adult.

Zhou Nan hugged her and kept introducing the customs and customs of each place to her, which made her very curious and diluted the sorrow of her parting.

When the car stopped at his new home on the shores of Lake Dinn, Leon couldn't wait to jump out of the car, carry Audrey on his back, pout, and say, "Jonas, women are so troublesome!" ”

Zhou Nan couldn't help laughing. "It's best not to let Vera and Claudio hear it, even Mother Caroline won't like to hear such an evaluation from you."
