Chapter 6: Mr. Rose Color

Manhof put on a tuxedo that he hadn't worn for a long time, tied a bow awkwardly, and the leather shoes on his face didn't know how many times he had been oiled, but he always couldn't meet the effect of his mother's request to shine a human figure. Look at what you've made, are you going to hang yourself with a sailor's knot! ”

I can't blame my mother for such a reaction, because today is the first time that Manhof has asked Anna out, oh no, it is the first time to go out with the opposite sex, my mother started to work early in the morning, cleaned the house from the inside out, and turned Maninhoff, the sloppy king, into a gentleman like magic, inserted two fresh roses in the front pocket, and even hurriedly ran to the phone booth to book a place for afternoon tea after lunch, and wrapped all the money that needed to be spent in an envelope and put it in the inner pocket of Maninhoff's tuxedo, Repeatedly instructed the routine of meeting and talking, and Maninhoff was annoyed to listen.

"Okay Mom, I'm not a child again, and it's not the first time Anna has seen me, don't worry about it." Manhof looked at himself in the mirror, like the Junker aristocracy in the streets of Berlin, he straightened up and smiled at his mother, "Don't worry, I'm leaving!" ”

Manhof walked out of the house and trotted towards Anna's house, and as soon as he walked on his front foot, a middle-aged man in a valuable trench coat walked up to his mother who was watching her son go away. "When the little hummingbird grows up, it will always fly away from its mother's arms to find the most beautiful flowers and the most delicious honey, won't it?"

Major Schöner did not wear an SS uniform, he wore a fancy suit and trench coat suit, and he looked like a Swiss banker, and he originally wanted to come to Manhhoff to listen to the saxophone quietly, but he did not expect to see Manhoff's first date ready to go on a date. Schöner smiled as he watched, very kindly, as if that was his son's smile on his first date, and he didn't know why he had such an emotion for Maninhoff, maybe... Maybe it's because it's the only good thing in his heart...

"Oh, sorry sir, I'm so nervous, my silly son is finally going on a date!" Mom didn't know Major Schöner, and apologized for the stunned person just now. "No, no, no, beautiful lady, it's me who is full of apologies!" Major Schöner stepped forward and said gentlemanly, "I once had three sons, two of whom died in battle, and the other had his leg blown off in Spain, and to be honest, I haven't seen such a heartwarming scene for a long time."

Mom covered her mouth, overwhelmed by Schöner's words, she couldn't imagine what would have happened if she had known that Manhhoff had died in battle, and she couldn't imagine what kind of pain the man in front of her had experienced. "God, what the hell have you been through!"

Major Schöner lowered his head, took out the group photo, gave it to Manhoff's mother, pointed to a child who was still three or four years old at the time, and said, "This is now my second son, and the only son, he was a volunteer in the Spanish Civil War, when he broke the door, he was blown down by the * behind the door, one leg was cut by the fragment of the door, the whole person fell to the ground heavily, there was a very serious internal hemorrhage and concussion, the rear hospital stayed for more than half a year, and his life was saved, but because of brain damage, his intelligence is equivalent to a three-year-old child." ”

He pointed to the little boy about eight years old in the photo, his eyes full of love and pride, "This is my eldest son, the commander of the reconnaissance company, who captured 800 Polish soldiers in Poland with an armored car, and was awarded the Iron Cross with oak leaves, one level higher than my medals!" Then Schöner's eyes dimmed, "but he died anyway, and was killed by the Polish partisans..."

"This is my youngest son, who carried me and my wife to the recruiting office and lied about his age to join the navy." Schöner pointed to the baby who was still swaddling in the photo and said: "I once went to William Military Port to look for him, he didn't see me, he always wanted to prove that he was no worse than his brothers, I really regret that I didn't enter the port at that time to get him out, two months later I received a death notice from the Navy Command..."

Manhhoff's mother had already cried into tears, she didn't know what words to use to comfort the man, Schöner turned her head and wiped a handful of tears, "I really shouldn't have told you these things on such a good day, I am really happy for your son, I wish him success, and I wish you all the best!" Major Schöner turned and left, he didn't know how he could say this to a woman he had never met, and he himself was amazed, how his heart couldn't harden when he got involved with the people and things around Mannhof...

Manhof soon ran to the door of Anna's house, turned around the door three or four times, his mind was blank with nervousness, and the sound of snickering came from the room, his face was as red as a rose in his front pocket, and he walked to the door with a hard head, and stretched out his hand to knock on the door...

Before Mannhoff's slender fingers touched the wooden door, the door opened, and an equally tall man smiled inside the door, behind him was Annabelle, who was wearing a Bavarian dress, Annabelle was stunned, Annabelle's smiling and slightly shy face was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life...

Anna's dad walked out and reached out and patted Mannhoff on the shoulder, "What's the matter, silly boy, are you still waiting for Anna to fly to you with angel wings?" Hahahaha! ”

Anna laughed so much that tears came out of her eyes, and walked to her father's side, "Don't tease him Dad, this fool will take it seriously!" Anna turned her head and looked at Mainhoff, who had not yet reacted, and said the word "rose" with a light smile, and Mannhoff understood "oh oh oh", and handed the two roses on his chest, one to Anna's father: "Dear Mr. Sesbatian, please allow me to take your beautiful daughter out to taste the beauty of the world, would you like to?" ”

Anna's father pretended to be serious, stuck his only arm in his trouser pocket, and talked about the tradition of the first date in Bavaria: "The sun rises, the sun sets, the cruise eats afternoon tea, I fry the ham and bakes the bread at home and waits for my daughter to come back for dinner, do you understand?" (These rules were told to me by my friends who studied in Germany, and if there is anything wrong, please bear with me!) )

Seeing Mannhoff's nodding like pounding garlic, Dad took the rose with a smile and inserted it into the small vase that had been prepared at the door, representing that the parents agreed to this silly boy taking his daughter out on a date, "Okay, don't be stupid, hurry up and ask my little princess, maybe she will think your roses are not beautiful!" Mmmmmmmm Anna's father couldn't hold it back, clutched his stomach and laughed, and walked into the house laughing.

With a red face, Mannhoff handed the remaining rose to Anna: "Beautiful Annabelle. Miss Sesbatian, my rose color... Uh, no, no, no... Would you like to join me... Forehead... This one... Oh my God..."

"Hahaha, I can't stand it...", Anna and Dad couldn't stand it anymore, "give it to me, oh my God!" If your saxophone was as stupid as your mouth, I guess you'd be fired when you were a freshman hahahaha..."Anna smiled and took the rose and pinned it to her waist, "Let's go!" If you keep talking, it is estimated that all the people in Bremen will call you 'Mr. Rose Color' in the afternoon, hahaha! ”

Mannhoff was also laughed at by his own stupidity, he scratched his head, took Anna's outstretched hand, nodded to Anna's father in the house, kissed Anna's jade hand with a red handsome face, and led her to the beautiful scenery under the morning sun...
