Chapter 139 Cultural Inheritance

Regarding this arrangement, Zhou Nan didn't know until the evening that the happiest person was Audrey. As soon as she returned to the room, she hugged Zhou Nan and rarely took the initiative to kiss her.

After enjoying some warm fragrant nephrite, Zhou Nancai asked in a daze, "My dear, are you satisfied with my arrangement?" ”

Audrey nodded seriously and said excitedly, "Of course I'm happy that I can finally get rid of the discipline of the Great Demon King again." ”

Zhou Nanden was embarrassed, he originally thought that Audrey 1 was happy because she was good to her mother, but she didn't expect that she was happy that her mother had something to do in Paris, and she would be able to get rid of her mother's discipline.

Zhou Nan's mother died when he was a child, and his father was unreliable, so he has always longed for a warm family life. So he has a deep affection for the Hoffman family, and this closeness has been integrated into his bones.

But he never considered it from Audrey's point of view, she had lived in the shadow of her mother since she was a child, and only two years in between got rid of it.

After enjoying two years of freedom, she was of course a little reserved when she was being watched by her mother again. But that was her mom and one of her spiritual pillars, so she never thought of rebelling against that.

However, now that she can let her mother have one thing to do, she will not be by her side all the time in the future, and it will not damage the relationship between mother and daughter, so she is so happy.

After thinking about this, Zhou Nan couldn't help but hug her thin waist, her lips violated her earlobes, and asked with a threatening smile: "I made my mother happy and gave you freedom, now how should you repay me......"

Audrey was not afraid at all, and responded to his kiss, and after a while she gasped and said, "People...... The whole person is yours, what more do you want? ”

Zhou Nan squatted slightly, grabbed her thigh with one hand, and immediately carried her on his shoulder. She smiled and patted Zhou Nan's back: "Don't ...... Haven't bathed yet......"

Zhou Nan ignored her, came to the bedside, and then threw her on the wide soft bed at once. "We can wait and wash ......"

Zhou Nan leaned down, and the person on the bed had already stretched out two slender arms, hugged the back of his neck, and gasped: "Jonas, why do people have no intention of resisting?" ”

……

……

At this time, the 13th arrondissement of Paris, which was famous in later generations, was not the main settlement of the Chinese. The laborers who remained in Paris were distributed in all districts of Paris, with the majority being the 3rd and 4th arrondissements.

Unlike later immigrants, most of them were bachelors, married French wives, and lived no different life than ordinary French people.

Only a few were originally intellectuals, and in the twenties and thirties, their families emigrated here. In contrast to at home, most of them are living in France in less condition than the Chinese workers.

However, the hardships and simplicity of the Chinese, who bear hardships and stand hard work, are more than the lives of ordinary French families compared with the cheating and sloppiness of the French.

The only thing that is not as good as the French is that they do not have much of an upward channel and do not have their own spokesperson in the upper classes.

However, Chinese people do not like to get involved in politics by nature, especially now that they are "outsiders", most of them do not have the mentality to enter politics.

The confrontation between the East and the West has not yet become a climate, and the Chinese in Europe are still very popular new immigrants. At least, in France, they prefer industrious Chinese to new immigrants from Albania and Africa.

But Zhou Nan was well aware that as the situation of the confrontation between the East and the West became severe, the newly established powers in the East were strictly constrained by the US-led NATO, and Batumi, which was established three years later, had even tighter control over the Chinese state, and even tighter than the Soviet Union, their biggest enemy in their minds.

Because in their opinion, the Soviet Union has always been a white country, and the Chinese are not the same race as them.

After the 50s, both in Europe and in the United States, they unconsciously tightened the control of the Chinese people, making the living environment of the Chinese people worse and worse.

Zhou Nan hasn't thought about how to deal with it yet, so this matter is also silently put in his heart. In the future, he must find an effective strategy to change the living environment of the entire Chinese in the world.

He also didn't want to remind the Chinese people attending the banquet today to let them enjoy their happiness in this peaceful atmosphere.

"Xiao Nan, the banquet we organized today is okay, right?"

Zhou Nan watched Audrey and a group of European women guessing lantern riddles in front of a long string of lanterns with great interest, and couldn't help laughing: "It's very good, this kind of activity to spread our Chinese culture should be done more times in the future." ”

Today's gathering was prepared by Liang Haitian and the others more than a month in advance, and every Chinese family who signed up had to pay 500 francs for the meal, and now the depreciation of the franc is quite serious, and 500 francs is not a lot of money, far from enough for all the expenses.

Because the place where they meet today is in the Bourne forest, a former holiday home of the French royal family. It takes a lot of money just to rent here, not to mention the decoration of the site, all kinds of food and drink, and small gifts, all of which require a lot of money.

Liang Haitian and the organizers' family conditions are good, and they all donated a sum of money to arrange such an event.

The French are also very interested in such an oriental event, and the French representatives from all walks of life who come to participate are very fresh.

In the large courtyard, in addition to the banquet, various lanterns are hung around it. Each lantern is shaped differently and has an oriental riddle written on it in French.

Of course, these are not anagrams, they are all guesses of a certain animal, or a certain thing, which can be used all over the world.

The French women, one by one, were fascinated by the riddles on the lanterns. Everyone who guesses the answer to the riddle will directly get the lantern with a unique shape, which makes many women not even eat well.

Zhou Nan was welcomed from the time he arrived, and it wasn't until he finished eating that he relaxed a little.

There was silence all around the forest, except for the occasional flutter of unknown birds, and the occasional chirping.

"Uncle Liang, if you have arranged it here, I will also donate a sum of money to you every year to continue this kind of activity. Not only the moon appreciation during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also the dragon boat racing of the Dragon Boat Festival, the celebration of the Spring Festival, and the lantern festival of the Lantern Festival, we should all arrange it systematically so that more people can understand our culture. ”

He smiled and said, "If you are willing to come forward, I think it will attract more people......"

Zhou Nan didn't refuse, nodded and said, "As long as there is less entertainment, I don't mind if you use my fame to promote these activities." Even if I have the title of honorary president, after all, I should still have three points of thin noodles in France. ”

"Then it's decided, I will make a detailed plan to promote our Chinese culture in Paris, and make Paris the base camp of our Chinese in Europe."

Zhou Nan nodded. "As long as I don't make this organization a for-profit organization, I will always support it."

On the other side, Audrey shouted loudly with her Chinese: "Xiao Nan, come on, I can't guess this riddle ......"

Liang Haitian looked at Audrey in the distance and smiled: "You go, I will discuss this matter with others." ”

The lantern that Audrey took a fancy to was a very beautiful old ship. The large ship is divided into three layers, a wooden structure, covered with a layer of red silk.

In addition to its beautiful shape, this boat is also similar to a real boat, and there are even a few small figures on the deck, which are lifelike.

This lantern should be the most finely crafted lantern on the scene, Zhou Nan looked at it for a while and admired the master who made this lantern very much.

Because they are aimed at foreigners, none of these riddles are complicated. Zhou Nan looked at the riddle on the note, but it was written in French, so he couldn't understand it.

"What is this written? I identified the word man......"

Audrey hugged his arm coquettishly and explained, "It means that a man can't easily shed tears and guess an object. ”

Zhou Nan thought about it for a while, and had a plan in his heart. If it is Chinese, then it should be a man with tears without flicking, hitting an item, then it should be a pearl.

But these riddles are for foreigners, and if he comes to help, it's cheating.

"Look, my dear, these riddles are deliberately for you to guess, and I'm here to help, isn't it cheating?"

Audrey said coquettishly: "But, I like it so much...... This ship is much more beautiful than the lantern you made. ”

If it was just the previous sentence, Zhou Nan might have relented and agreed to her. But she added this sentence, of course Zhou Nan wanted to take Qiao. "I haven't studied, of course, it's not as good as what professionals do, but that's what I did with my heart, I'm sad."

This time, Audrey hurriedly apologized and comforted him in turn. It wasn't until I saw him snickering that I understood, hugged his hand and put it to my mouth and threatened: "Tell me the mystery quickly, otherwise, I will bite you......"

There was a burst of laughter from the side, and a slightly obese French woman laughed softly in Chinese: "Xiao Nan, your relationship with Audrey is really enviable." ”

Audrey smiled shyly, a little embarrassed to meet people.

Zhou Nan recognized her as the wife of Wang Dashan, a Chinese worker, but forgot her name. But at this time, he could also respond in Chinese: "Mrs. Wang, let you see the smile." ”

She is the best one in Chinese among Chinese family members, although there are still some weird tones, but it is already rare. The cultural level of Chinese workers is generally very low, and she can learn to the current level, in addition to the relationship between the two people is also very good, she should like Chinese culture very much.

Behind her were seven children like a staircase, the oldest being about the same age as Zhou Nan and the youngest being about the same age as Melissa.

They looked at Zhou Nan with adoring eyes one by one, which made Zhou Nan a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Zhou, my children and I have always been interested in oriental culture. But Dashan himself didn't know a few words, and we didn't have a place to learn. So I want to ask you, when you have time, can you go and learn Chinese with you? ”

(I slept until the wee hours of the morning last night, and I updated late, so I'm sorry everyone.) In addition, I recommend a new book by a beautiful author, "Rebirth in the Past as a God Chef", the protagonist was reborn in the sixties, and it belongs to the same period as the old demon, but her book is destined not to stir up the world, only to dare to develop honestly, haha. )
