Today is the 24th, in order to rush back early in the evening, early in the morning, Zhou Nan and Audrey set off from their homes to Goslar, the most famous ancient capital in central Germany.

In 45, Joseph was imprisoned in a concentration camp for supporting the Nazis.

He was an Englishman, not valued by the Nazis during the Nazi period, and was liquidated after the defeat of the Nazis, in short, he was a tragedy.

In the memories of later generations, Zhou Nan knew that he was introverted, not good at communicating, and suffered from a certain degree of emotional communication disorder.

Although he supported the Nazis, he did not do any great evil, and was sentenced to five years of hard labor in 45 years.

Originally, he was building roads for the Americans, but later Alan got news of him and spent a sum of money to ransom him.

But then I don't know what went wrong, but the man didn't redeem it.

Later, after Zhou Nan learned about him, he wanted to fish him out, but who knew that he didn't admit it, and would rather do hard labor in prison.

And he also rejected Audrey's idea of meeting him several times, and refused to meet anyone, including his old father in England.

Alan had become completely disappointed in him, just as if he didn't have this son.

For such a guy with an eccentric personality, Zhou Nan has no choice. He is like a man whose ideals are completely shattered, who gives up on himself, breaks the jar and breaks.

With Zhou Nan's relationship, of course he won't do coolies anymore. Because of his past work as a bank manager, he was transferred to the Ramosberg mines, which were controlled by the United States and the United Kingdom, where he was responsible for bookkeeping.

The Ramosberg mine is a miracle in the history of the world's mining industry, a mine that has been mined for 1,000 years and is still producing 300,000 tons of zinc, 100,000 tons of lead, 20,000 tons of copper, 150 tons of silver and 1 ton of gold every year.

It was not until the 80s that it was completely hollowed out and turned into the most complete museum in the history of mining in the world.

On this trip, Zhou Nan did not take Popler with them. Christmas does not deal with official business, it is enough to bring two telegraph operators.

It's rare to give them a holiday, and after Christmas, they will go to the United States with Zhou Nan.

However, Zhou Nan will not be short of guards. Yannick attaches more importance to his safety than his own safety, and on this trip, he arranged eight bodyguards for Zhou Nan and four cars to accompany him.

In winter, Germany was also very depressed, following Highway 39, which had been built by the Nazis ten years earlier, bypassing Braunschweig and taking a provincial road, arriving in the ancient capital of Goslar in almost two hours.

Goslar is located at the northern foot of the Harz Mountains, and the entire Harz region was the most famous tourist destination in Germany in ancient times.

The Ramosberg mine, just two kilometres south of the city of Goslar, guards the gateway to the Harz Mountains.

Because of its mineral abundance, it is still controlled by the British and Americans.

Only a few skilled workers have returned to work, and most of the coolies are prisoners of hard labor.

Joseph is ridiculous, he could have avoided the service, but he still wouldn't leave here. Others didn't treat him as a prisoner, but he still punished himself with his labor.

Entering the mine, they passed two checkpoints before they arrived at the factory's dormitory.

A group of British soldiers who had been waiting here for a long time received Zhou Nan and his party, and then led them directly to a dormitory building by the reservoir.

Originally, there were no dormitories here, because most of the miners lived in Goslar, which was not far away, and it took more than 1,000 prisoners to build a dormitory.

Seeing a familiar figure, Audrey's body tensed, clutching Zhou Nan's hand tightly, and her eyes became moist.

Zhou Nan comforted softly: "He is a person who has suffered a great trauma in his heart, and the disillusionment of his ideals has made him close himself. If he is cold to you, it doesn't mean that he doesn't value you, maybe it's just that he is running away from himself. ”

Audrey smiled, but tears flowed down her cheeks. "Jonas, having known you in the woods of Arnhem since I was eleven years old, the greatest gap in my life has been filled. I may not have realized this before, but now I do. As long as you are by my side, there is nothing I can't cross. ”

Zhou Nan was also a little stunned for a while, he was also a novice when it came to romance and love, and he was also a novice in emotional matters. Moreover, after having the memories of later generations, he personally looks at the emotional aspect more indifferently, because there are more important things waiting for him to do.

So he didn't fully understand what Audrey meant, but while wondering, he got out of the car first without delay, took her hand, and welcomed her down.

Zhou Nan has seen many photos of Joseph in the photo, and he has the impression that he is a tall and sturdy man. But the man who appeared in front of him was amazingly thin, with a scruffy beard, and he didn't look like it in the photo.

However, Zhou Nan knew that the person in front of him was right. Because from the way he looked at Audrey, he could also feel that he was expecting, panicking and overwhelmed by Audrey's appearance.

This is definitely in line with Joseph's performance.

The nature between father and daughter also made Audrey quickly recognize the man in front of her, her eyes changed from confused to eager, and her lips trembled a few times before she called out Dady.

Joseph laughed, opened his arms to Audrey and said, "Good morning, my Audrey, you are now really as noble as the name I have given you. ”

Audrey no longer had the slightest doubt, threw herself into his arms, and began to cry. "Daddy, Daddy, I miss you, I've been thinking about you......"

At this moment, Zhou Nan even felt a trace of jealousy. But thinking about Audrey's usual thinking more about herself, he is not jealous anymore.

The scene of the reunion of father and daughter seems touching, but Zhou Nan felt a little embarrassed when he saw this scene with his own eyes.

After "The Diary of Anne Frank", Audrey directly won the Oscar, and the current Oscar actress is much more popular than later generations.

This directly made her a global icon for a new generation.

Because there is a special image team to create the personal image of Audrey and Zhou Nan, it can be said that Zhou Nan and Audrey have always been at the forefront of the times in fashion.

And in such an eerie and closed environment, surrounded by British soldiers and a few prisoners who were extremely curious about Zhou Nan and Audrey, they all peeked at this scene curiously.

Even the eight bodyguards who came with Zhou Nan and them today were dumbfounded at this time, as if they had forgotten their duties.

Zhou Nan beckoned them to take down the things that they had specially brought to Joseph today, and then came to Audrey's side, coughed lightly and said, "Honey, let's go see your father's room where your father lives, and then sit down and talk again." ”

Joseph glanced up at Zhou Nan, but his eyes did not condense, making people feel in a trance. "I see you a lot in the newspapers, and you're very nice."

Zhou Nan stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Joseph." ”

He took out a free hand and shook Zhou Nan and said, "Hello." ”

Audrey regained her composure a little by this time, but she still couldn't help but sob. She turned around and took Zhou Nan's hand and introduced: "Dad, the person standing in front of you now is not Jonas Hoffman Zhou that you saw in the newspaper, he is your daughter's husband. ”

Joseph sighed and said, "Yes, you were a nine-year-old girl at the beginning, but now you have become someone else's wife...... Come and sit inside. ”

Although tomorrow is Christmas, there is no holiday in the mine. You can see the ore coming out of a nearby cave and transporting it by small train to the outskirts of Goslar, where it is refined.

Joseph is now an accountant in the mine, probably because of Zhou Nan's relationship, he was not treated like a prisoner, and lived in a room alone.

Although the room is not big, there is everything, on the desk, and a stack of books. Zhou Nan noticed that one of them was the second volume of his "General History of the World", and there was a blue blurred official seal on the outside of the cover.

Zhou Nan and they brought Joseph a lot of things, food, clothing, use, everything. The scarf was still hand-knitted by Audrey herself, and it took her about a week of leisure.

Several bodyguards carried things and put them in the open space inside the door, and then said to Zhou Nan: "Jonas, we will wait for you outside......"

Zhou Nan said: "We should stay here until the afternoon before going back, the British should have arranged a place for you to rest, or you can also go around the neighborhood." ”

"Leave us alone, we're all here for you."

After they withdrew, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the room froze at once.

Audrey looked around a little flustered, brushed his quilt with her hand, and said, "The quilt is too thin, Dad, we brought you a new quilt, can I lay it on for you?" ”

He hesitated a little unaccustomed for a moment before nodding and saying, "Of course......"

Then he acted as if he had just woken up, beckoned Zhou Nan and said, "Please sit down...... I had hot water ready and tea leaves ......"

Zhou Nan took the boiling water bottle and said with a smile: "Please sit down, I will bring you a little good tea and coffee today." I hope we can write to you in the future and keep in touch. As long as we know that your life is okay, we can feel at ease. ”

He sat down in the chair next to his desk, squeezed out a smile and said, "I know that Audrey is living a good life now, so I'm very satisfied." ”

With that, he fell silent again. Watch as Audrey helps him rip off the sheets, add a mattress, and then change a sheet.

The quilt was also brought by Zhou Nan and them from Switzerland, and the quilt cover was also covered, and then there was a pillow.

Audrey took out everything she had brought with her and set it up in the room, she kept busy, and it seemed that she didn't know how to get along with her father, whom she hadn't seen for ten years, except for working non-stop.

And he has been in a daze, distracted, Zhou Nan said a word to him, and he replied. It can be seen that he is not used to getting along with people so cordially.

Zhou Nan recalled some traces of him in his memory, and according to this, it was very difficult to restore him to his original life trajectory.
