Chapter Ninety-Five: Tranquility
Zhou Nan's wound, which had been swollen for a week, finally disappeared completely, but the wound had not completely healed. This is mainly due to the fact that doctors are worried that the nervous system will not recover well, so they deliberately delay the healing of the epidermis.
When the internal wound slowly recovered, after careful examination, it was determined that the nervous system was well recovered, and the focus of treatment was on wound healing.
At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only Zhou Nan himself, but everyone didn't want the wound to affect Zhou Nan's life in the future. If the nervous system does not recover well, it may affect the muscles of the left buttocks and even affect his walking.
But the doctors still didn't dare to take it lightly, and told Zhou Nan: "After the wound gradually heals, pay attention to the left leg to exert more force, running, and swimming, which are all good means of recovery." ”
Only Audrey was a little dissatisfied, touching Zhou Nan's wounds. "Yours was already smaller than mine, but now it seems to be even smaller."
Zhou Nan didn't expect her head to think of this, and she couldn't laugh or cry. "Women's are inherently larger than men's, which is determined by physiological structure, not to mention ......"
"What's more?"
Zhou Nan smiled at this time: "What's more, I also like your bigger and more handy......"
Audrey laughed deliciously, a little shy, but more coquettish. "When you're ready, I'll touch ...... for you"
Since he didn't need to stay in the hospital all day, Zhou Nan insisted on being discharged. Many nursing homes welcome Zhou Nan free of charge and are willing to provide Zhou Nan with the most complete medical team.
But Zhou Nan still let Etinny decline these invitations, not that he didn't like to live in sanatoriums, most of those sanatoriums were in scenic places, and many were hot spring sanatoriums and spa sanatoriums.
Compared with these, he enjoys the warmth of living together as a family without being disturbed.
A large family set off from Geneva on their way home. Behind them, there are still many reporters, but the number is much less than ten days ago.
The Nuremberg trials are coming to a close, and a meeting of foreign ministers is negotiating new demarcation lines for European countries. Zhou Nan's plan for a European revival was also one of the main topics of the meeting, which attracted most of the reporters.
At least during the period when Zhou Nan is recuperating from his injuries, the number of reporters around him will be much smaller, after all, these reporters cannot enter his home to interview.
After moving to Lucerne in '43, Zhou Nan finally enjoyed the beauty of Lake Lucerne in summer.
Lucerne has its own beauty all year round, with the wind in spring, the flowers in summer, the mountains in autumn and the snow in winter.
But the most beautiful seasons are summer and autumn. When summer comes, the mountains are filled with a variety of flowers, green pastures, and shades of green.
In autumn, the different tree species on the mountain begin to change, and the large green and yellow colors paint the surrounding scenery like an oil painting.
Sennar Villa is indeed a little small, although the total construction area of this house is 300 square meters, but the first floor has been occupied by Zhou Nan's assistant team, and only the upstairs space is left to belong to his family.
Now that the whole family has come here, even if two people live in one room, the room is still not enough, and only a few people can squeeze into one room.
Yannick carefully inquired about Etinny's current economic situation.
He borrowed 2.3 million Swiss francs from Jean Nord and 3 million Swiss francs from banks, which is Zhou Nan's largest debt so far.
Then, this time, the whole top of the peninsula was bought, and another 300,000 Swiss francs were owed to the bank.
However, although there are so many foreign debts, everyone is not worried at all, because in more than a month, Zhou Nan's first royalty will be in hand, according to the printing volume of 600,000 copies, Zhou Nan's royalty will be 1.2 million.
The number of subsequent prints in the middle volume is no less than that of the first volume, and the publisher also plans to reprint it, because the sales momentum of the first edition is good, which can bring Zhou Nan a steady stream of income.
There is no need to rush to repay the bank's money and Jean Nord's money, which means that Zhou Nan has enough funds to put the construction of his new home on the agenda.
Jean Nord and Entlerbuch have long thought that the Sennar villa does not meet Zhou Nan's current identity, and they were originally going to help him build the house directly behind Zhou Nan's back, but they were opposed by Zhou Nan.
But what Zhou Nan opposes is that they should not carry themselves behind their backs, but they agree with the construction of a new home.
The house is indeed a bit small, and now it can't even live in my own family, and there is no special place for office and reception.
Therefore, the construction plan of the new house is also on the agenda.
In terms of the architectural style of the house, Zhou Nan did not like the style of later generations, but preferred to be retro. Zhou Nan likes the Swiss folk house style very much, and the brick and wood structure houses look much more charming than those concrete buildings.
The only flaw of this type of house is that the windows are a little too small.
Therefore, Zhou Nan requires that the first floor of the new house must have floor-to-ceiling windows, and the house must have a sunny conservatory, but other than that, there are not too many requirements.
The famous Cottbus Architects in Zurich also wanted to build Zhounan's new home into a classic, so they directly sent three designers to explore the field in the ranch and plan it together.
Zhou Nan's current new home occupies the entire tip of the peninsula, in the middle of Lake Lucerne, surrounded by mountains and lakes except for the west.
In this pasture of more than 500,000 square meters, there are three woods and two hills, and the whole shape is like a dog's head.
After field surveying and planning, the location of the new house was determined to be built next to the Villa Sennar, not far from the Villa Sennar, unlike the Villa Sennar, which was built on the water's edge, the new house was determined to be on the west side of the highest hill, almost the location of the eye.
This is Zhou Nan's own choice, because there are two big trees here, and the long strange bones make Zhou Nan like it very much. And there is a distance from the woods on the top of the mountain, so there are not many mosquitoes. The terrain is high and drainage is convenient.
Built in conjunction with the new house, there is not only the main house, but also the sheep shed of the pasture, the hay storage warehouse, and the future horse shed. The Sennar villa will not be demolished, and will be retained as a place to receive friends and visitors in the future, and the second floor will become the office of Zhou Nan's assistants.
In addition, a staff dormitory will be built, which will be specially prepared for the accommodation of people around Zhou Nan and guest rooms for visitors in the future.
In addition to these, a large biogas digester will be built next to the stable, so that domestic wastewater and animal manure can be treated on site, and domestic biogas will be available.
In addition to planning a new home, Zhou Nan enjoys a rare tranquility.
In recent years, it has never been more comfortable than now.
Sleep until you wake up naturally every day, tease Lily, who is only one and a half years old, and go boating in the lake with Audrey, who has been on summer vacation. Discuss your plans with Yannick and listen to Caroline and Kelly ramble on the other kids in front of her.
Occasionally teasing with Vera, talking to Manfred about the fate of Germany, and urging Leon to finish his summer homework.
Trivial but warm, without so many twists and turns, this is life.
This is also the life that Zhou Nan has always longed for.
However, such days are always short-lived.
Because Yannick and they are going back to Germany......
The British had given Yannick half a month, and the previous week had already been consumed in Geneva. After a week at Villa Sennar, they had to prepare to leave.
If it weren't for the permission of the British, Yannick would have returned to Germany to deal with his negotiations with Volkswagen.
Volkswagen was originally founded at Hitler's behest, and 75 percent of the plant was state-owned, and the Lower Saxony state government, where Wolfsburg was located, had 20 percent of the shares.
So the negotiation with the public is actually very simple, because the main thing is to look at the opinion of the British.
Abroad, however, the ownership of any asset is inviolable, and the government of Lower Saxony, although it has only 20 percent of the shares, has the right of veto, which later became known as the "popular decree".
(The Volkswagen Act is 47 years, and the British promised Lower Saxony when dealing with Volkswagen assets, and here I deliberately advanced, not a bug)
So Yannick is also worried that he will be seen as a traitor and will be opposed by the local government.
Zhou Nan did not have the slightest suggestion about Yannick's acquisition, because he did not understand any business in the first place. He was more concerned with the location of Wolfsburg, which was the boundary between East and West Germany.
He told Yannick in detail about his food plan, which shocked and moved Yannick at the same time. It was immediately stated that the plan would be launched as soon as it stabilized in Wolfsburg.
As long as he can get food from the Soviets, he will quickly win the hearts of the people, and people will no longer regard him as a traitor, but only as a hero who endures humiliation and burden.
Hearing Zhou Nan's arrangement, Yannick really felt that his adopted son had truly matured.
Unfortunately, Stolko was still in Rome at this time, and I don't know how he was talking to the Soviets now. Otherwise, Yannick would have the confidence to go to Wolfsburg to negotiate.
This time the separation was not as sad as before, because the situation was improving, and they could come for the first time, and they could come a second time in the future.
The most reluctant has to be Leon, who admires Zhou Nan the most, and it is not Caroline, who feels sorry for Zhou Nan, but Claudio who is pregnant with a big belly.
Although the Hoffmann family lived a relatively good life in Germany, they lacked everything in Germany, and they could not buy anything with money, so they could only ensure basic living conditions.
But in Switzerland, you can find almost everything from fruits, snacks and treats. Claudio had already been raised, and he thought that he would lose access to these delicacies when he returned, so he wanted to stay in Switzerland.
It's a pity that she is coquettish in every way, and Yannick and Manfred will not keep her in Switzerland, and she cannot stay in Switzerland.
(The expected No. 1 will be on the shelves, and after dozens of chapters are released, write a little warm life.) But it was postponed to the 10th shelf, and it was not possible to write a bland one as soon as it was put on the shelf, so this process was omitted, and the next thing was to go to the UK. )
