Chapter 59
After going around the Dam Square two more times and buying something to eat, and looking at the time, Leng Fei took a taxi and went straight to Wanwan's apartment.
After settling down, Leng Fei smiled self-deprecatingly: "Come on, isn't it just a date, what are you afraid of after knowing each other for nine years?" Anyway, Lao Tzu is also a person who has been reborn once, be mature! ”
muttered, rang the doorbell at Wanwan's house.
"Hello?" Liella's voice came out, and Leng Fei asked, "Are you here Wanwan?" ”
"Yes, roar, are you going on a date, do you want me to come over and intervene?" Liella said, shaking her head.
Three black lines appeared on Leng Fei's head, this girl ......
"Hehe, just kidding, but, warn you, don't bully my family late, otherwise you will be a eunuch!"
How did this guy know the term eunuch? Leng Fei shook his head, forget it, today is a date with Wanwan, so I don't care about so much mess.
After waiting downstairs for ten minutes, Wanwan finally came downstairs, Leng Fei took a look, it seemed that Liella did not follow, Leng Fei breathed a sigh of relief, if Liella came with him, it would be a date.
It seems that it is for today's date that Wanwan deliberately dressed up, of course, she is not the kind of woman who likes heavy makeup, so she put on light makeup, in addition, the clothes she wore were also carefully selected, and a lilac dress made her look pure and cute.
Seeing Leng Fei staring at him and looking at him non-stop, Wanwan pursed her lips and smiled, stepped forward and patted Leng Fei's head: "Today I ...... How's it going? ”
Leng Fei nodded of course: "Well, it's beautiful, I like it very much." ”
"So, let's go."
When he set off, Leng Fei remembered, when did he have to buy a car, every day by taxi or bus, a little troublesome, take a taxi is fine, if you are recognized by fans on the bus, it must be a troublesome thing, although Leng Fei does not hate to negotiate with fans, but it is still very annoying to be like this every day, having a private car is very normal and necessary for a public figure.
It was definitely unrealistic to buy a car today, so Leng Fei had to stop a taxi.
"St. Michael's College? Where are we going? Wanwan looked at Leng Fei suspiciously.
Leng Fei smiled: "There is a very famous windmill village in Amsterdam, I think the environment there is very good, a good place to relax." ”
"Is it Zaanse Schans Windmill Village?" Wanwan asked.
"Well, you've been?"
"No, but I've heard of it, I've seen it on the Internet, and I'd love to see it before, but I didn't have time." Wanwan smiled and looked out the car window.
"Ha, that's right, let's go and have a look." Leng Fei said with a smile.
…………………………
After the car arrived at the destination, when Leng Fei paid, the driver's uncle found out that it was the Ajax star who was sitting in the car before, but at that time, he forgot to sign because he was a little surprised, and when Leng Fei and Wanwan walked away, the driver's uncle remembered, looking at the backs of the two people who had gone away, the uncle patted his thigh and regretted it.
St. Michael's College, of course, is not the university town of Worcester in England, but a little-known sacred college in the Netherlands, near the famous Zaanse Schans windmill village, which can be reached in about ten minutes' walk from St. Michael's College.
The main reason why I chose to get off at St. Michael's College instead of going directly to Zaanse Schans Windmill Village is that when Leng Fei came here yesterday, I felt that the journey from St. Michael's College to Windmill Village was a different style, not far from the river flowing to Windmill Village, and near it was the ringing of bells from St. Michael's College, lined with tree-lined paths, on this road, because this is already a suburb of Amsterdam, usually except for farmers and students from St. Michael's College, they rarely come here, and as I said before, St. Michael's College here is not well-known, so there are not many students, and the road is very quiet and peaceful.
From here, you can already see the windmills that are unique to the Netherlands, four of which can be seen here, and there are five in the village of Zaanse Schans, three of which are open to visitors.
Not far from the river, there are some tourists who look like people chatting with some local boatmen, these boatmen seem to be here to receive tourists, but their task is not to take tourists across the river, in fact there is a bridge not far away, their task is to take tourists on the river to visit the windmill village, from another angle to see these windmills.
The weather in September, the afternoon was still a little hot, and the sun was very strong, so I put on a sun hat in the evening, and then said to Leng Fei with a smile: "Yuan, let's go on a boat too?" What do you think? ”
Leng Fei nodded and said, "No problem." ”
Pulling Leng Fei in the evening, he walked down the lawn from the side of the tree-lined path, the wild lawn here grows exceptionally well, and when he steps on it, it is soft and comfortable.
When he came to the river, Wanwan jumped to the side of the boat and asked the boatman on the boat about the price of visiting the river, Leng Fei followed with a smile behind him, he always felt that tonight seemed to be very excited, which is also a good thing, at least it can show that she is happy, and that is enough.
"Far away, it's not expensive, it's only 10 euros for two people to sit, let's go up, right?"
"Yes." Leng Fei said, took Wanwan's hand, got on the boat, and then smiled politely at the boatman rocking the boat, took out a ten-euro bill from his pocket, and handed it to the boatman: "Uncle, please." ”
"Okay, sit tight, let's go!" Uncle Boatman took ten euros.
The boat had just set off, there was a jolt, Wanwan was not ready, and accidentally fell to the side, fortunately, Leng Fei was sitting behind him and supported Wanwan.
Wanwan was stunned, smiled a little embarrassedly, and was about to get up straight, but found that Leng Fei "helped" very hard, and tried hard, but Wanwan still couldn't sit up.
Leng Fei smiled in his heart, and said in his heart that this is not what I want to do, you sent it yourself, so I am welcome.
Thinking about taking advantage of the situation and taking Wanwan into his arms, Wanwan's face was red, and after struggling for a while, he found that the boatman's eyes had turned, and he quickly stopped his movements, buried his head in Leng Fei's arms, and didn't dare to look at people.
"Hehe......" Uncle Boatman smiled, he has seen a lot of this kind of scene, most of the people who come to take the boat are young couples like this, and the Dutch men and women are very open, and shy girls like this are relatively rare.
After clearing his throat, the boatman uncle began to introduce the historic windmill village to the two, no, to Leng Fei to be exact, it was not their duty, but as a native of here, they were proud of the feng shui here, especially the five beautiful windmills here, and when tourists came here to take a small boat, the boatman would naturally introduce them to the history and culture of their village, which was their pride.
After drifting slowly on the river, after a while, the boatman's uncle stopped talking and continued to concentrate on rocking the boat, and gradually got used to it, and began to raise his head and quietly look at the scenery on both sides of the river.
Leng Fei also quietly hugged the evening, enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait like an oil painting, I have to say that the environment here is absolutely first-class good, breathing the air here, I feel twice as relaxed as my body, and this is a windmill village, in the early autumn evening, the breeze here is the most comfortable.
Leng Fei took out the nine tulips he bought before from his bag, gently handed them to Wanwan's face, and whispered in her ear: "There are not many nine years in life, but in these few nine years, God let me know you, yes, I think I am lucky, even if I lose, God has given me another chance to start over, so, in order to live up to God's will, I will protect you with my life, purple tulips, representing my loyalty, please accept it." ”
This is the words that Leng Fei pieced together from his mind when he was lying in bed last night and couldn't sleep, well, when Leng Fei said these words, he was very nervous, I don't know if Tang Yanan would laugh at what he said was too sensual or too idiotic, when Leng Fei was in bed last night, he thought about it for a long time.
Wanwan opened her mouth and looked at Leng Fei with some surprise, the expression on the latter's face was very exciting, some nervous, some embarrassed, and more expectant.
Wanwan was slightly stunned, straightened up slightly, looked at the tulip in Leng Fei's hand, and a smile appeared on her face, Leng Fei saw a smile on Wanwan's face, and her heart fell slightly, at least, it means that she is still quite happy.
"Thanks, the tulips are beautiful." Wanwan stretched out her hand, took the nine bunches of tulips carefully selected by Leng Fei with both hands, put them under her nose and took two deep breaths, "It's very fragrant." ”
Leng Fei breathed a sigh of relief, hugged the person in his arms, and put it on Leng Fei's chest, and could feel it tonight, Leng Fei's heart was beating fast, in fact, she herself was too.
The boat continued to float on the river, looking at the scenery on both sides, Leng Fei felt very happy, there was nothing more beautiful than quietly enjoying this paradise-like beauty with the person he liked.
……………………
Getting off the boat, it was already 5 o'clock in the evening, unconsciously, he had been on it for an hour, Leng Fei felt a little surprised, he felt that time passed too fast, when he was on the boat, he didn't feel that there was an hour at all.
"May the Lord bless you and see you well." When parting, Uncle Boatman said to the two with a smile on his face, and Wanwan was no longer so shy, and said goodbye to Uncle Boatman elegantly.
"Shall we go there and have a look?" Wanwan pointed to the windmill not far away, and said to Leng Fei with a smile, of course Leng Fei would not refuse, Wanwan took Leng Fei's hand, and ran all the way to the windmill, there were more people there, after all, this is one of the famous attractions in Amsterdam, and from afar, you can also see the flag of the tour group.
Leng Fei put on sunglasses, which is already the basic common sense of his life, and if he doesn't want to be chased and intercepted by fans and the media when he goes out, sunglasses are the best props.
Officially entered the border of the village, Leng Fei found that the village is quite large, the west is an endless grassland, you can also see cattle and sheep wandering in the grassland, in front of the famous five windmills, however, after arriving here, I found that the two are still far away from the windmill, but also across a very broad grassland, which is also a good place for grazing, many farmers are leading their cattle and sheep to graze on the lawn, they lean together in twos and pounds to chat, tourists pass by there, There are also people who ask them to help take pictures or something, and these villagers are very enthusiastic, and most of them will help.
Leng Fei and Wanwan walked into the grassland, the farmers here are very enthusiastic about tourists, just a few minutes, there are already several farmers nodding and smiling above Leng Fei, in the face of these hospitable hosts, Leng Fei and Wanwan of course also seem very enthusiastic, constantly smiling and greeting them.
It seems, the windmill seems to be close at hand, but if you really want to walk, it is still very slow, Wanwan and Leng Fei walked for nearly fifteen minutes along the way, before slowly approaching the nearest windmill, where there is a group of people, the two curiously stepped forward to take a look, it turned out to be carved wooden shoes, Dutch wooden shoes are one of the specialties, come here, do not find someone to carve a pair of beautiful wooden shoes, it must be in vain.
The carving of the wooden shoes was a young man who looked twenty-four or five years old, with a mouthful of white teeth, bronzed skin looked very healthy, his hands were very flexible, the carved knife fiddled with the wooden shoes in twos and threes, and a pair of beautiful wooden shoes was completed, and there were several children watching nearby, and every time the young man carved out a pair of wooden shoes, the children let out bursts of cheers.
The young man had just finished carving a pair of wooden shoes, and raised his head to look at the crowd of onlookers around him: "Is there anyone else who wants it?" 15 euros a pair! ”
Leng Fei was secretly surprised, it's quite cheap! So without hesitation, he took out his pocket: "Give me two pairs, thank you." ”
The young man looked up at Leng Fei, showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled: "Hey, are you Chinese?" What startled Leng Fei was that this young man spoke Chinese, and although he was a little slurred, it was easy to hear what he was saying.
"Ah, yes, you can speak Chinese?" Leng Fei was interested in this young man who could speak Chinese, yes, hearing the native language of his hometown in a foreign country, even though it was spoken by a foreigner, still felt very cordial.
"Well, my grandfather is Chinese, and I also have this quarter of Chinese ancestry, my name is Steven Zhou."
Leng Fei smiled and stretched out his hand: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhou, my name is Leng Fei." ”
Steven was stunned for a moment, and after shaking Leng Fei's hand, he looked at Leng Fei with a strange expression: "I heard it right, you just said that your name is Leng Fei?" ”
"yes? What's wrong? Leng Fei said as a matter of course.
"Could it be...... Are you golden? Ajax's? Steven frowned, looking at Leng Fei with sunglasses, and two seconds later, Steven's face showed a look of sudden realization, followed by joy: "You are golden!" It's really you! ”
Only then did Leng Fei react, this was recognized, patted his head, and thought about why he was so slow to react.
"Hehe, as you can see." Leng Fei smiled, since he was recognized, he should be generous, besides, the other party is a half-compatriot.
"Haha, I'm so lucky, Kim, I'm your fan!" Saying that, Steven couldn't wait to pick up his clothes and handed them to Leng Fei, "Sign it for me, it's here, thank you!" ”
Of course, Leng Fei would not refuse, as soon as he touched his pocket, he suddenly found that he didn't bring a pen, and he was going on a date with Wanwan today, and he forgot everything he was excited about, even the signature pen that he usually always carried with him.
Wanwan behind him smiled, took out a signature pen from his bag, and nodded Leng Fei's forehead: "Look at you, I forgot to bring such an important thing, I won't bring it for you next time!" ”
Leng Fei took it: "You are still the most considerate of me." ”
Seeing that Leng Fei was about to sign his autograph, Steven suddenly remembered something and said, "Write Chinese, write Chinese characters!" ”
"OK." Leng Fei wrote the two big words "Leng Fei" on Steven's clothes, and the signature on the clothes, Leng Fei's writing is a little crooked, not good-looking, but this is also quite commemorative, whether it looks good or not, no one will care.
After writing, Steven picked up his clothes with satisfaction, kissed him twice, and then smiled: "Then, as a return gift, I will make you two wooden shoes immediately." ”
Steven's hands are really skillful, don't look at this young man is quite strong, he doesn't look like a person who does such a delicate job, but Steven is an exception, and in less than five minutes, two pairs of beautiful wooden shoes have been completed.
"20 euros, huh?" Leng Fei was about to pay for it, but Steven stopped him.
"Kim, this is a return gift for an autograph, I can't take money."
Leng Fei looked into his eyes and quickly nodded: "Okay, I know, thank you for the return gift." ”
Seeing that Leng Fei didn't plan to give money, Steven seemed very happy, and with a smile, Steven said, "Then, we will be friends in the future." ”
Leng Fei patted Steven on the shoulder: "Yes, there is an old Chinese saying called ......"
"Hey, hey, multiple friends, multiple roads! Isn't it? Steven said first, and then crossed his waist with a very remarkable look.
Leng Fei and Wanwan were amused by Steven's somewhat childish words, and the three of them laughed one after another.
"Kim, next time I compete, I will come to the scene to watch you play, you must come to the scene!" After laughing, Steven turned his head to look at Leng Fei.
"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it, if you come to the scene, I will definitely welcome you with a goal."
……………………
Leng Fei and Steven chatted for a while, because Steven still had work to complete, the two said goodbye, Leng Fei didn't know that after Steven met his idol today, he liked the Chinese star more and more, so, not long after, Leng Fei's first fan club in the Netherlands was established, and before that, there was no fan group exclusive to Leng Fei. The president of this fan club? Do you still need to ask? The young man who carved wooden shoes in the windmill village of Zaanse Schans, of course.
Say goodbye to Steven, the two played in the windmill village for a while, three of the five windmills can accept tourists, Leng Fei took the evening to visit the three windmills, before, Leng Fei would also wonder what the windmill was used for, came here, only to know that smart humans have long known how to use the power of nature to help humans do things, some things that can't be done with manpower, or things that can't be done with the strength of a few people, such as the work of polishing and stirring milk powder in front of him, If it were left to manpower, it would take at least thirty or forty people at least a few hours to complete such a huge project, but now, with the energy of the wind, it only takes more than half an hour, and the originally huge project can become a piece of cake.
Wanwan has rarely been to such a place, but she once had a rich education so that she also knows a lot about the famous Dutch windmills, and said next to her: "The windmills in the Netherlands are the first place in the world that can be regarded as an industrial area, where not only can you grind, mix, but also make paper, saw, and now you can see only a small part of the function, even now, the Netherlands can still play a big role." ”
Leng Fei looked at Wanwan, patted his head and smiled: "You know a lot." ”
"It's all from books before." Wanwan smiled and said, "You, read more books when you have time." ”
Leng Fei said seriously: "I read books a lot, and recently, I was reading a book called 'Breaking the Sky'. ”
Wanwan glanced at Leng Fei.
"Still, I think it's more comfortable to look at you than a book." Leng Fei shook his head and added.
"Look at me?" Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and then her face was slightly red: "You talk a lot." ”
The two of them took a turn in the windmill, visited the other two windmills open to tourists, and looked at the time, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening, the sun had set, the tourists of the small village were gradually leaving, the farmers in the fields were also returning home, and the chimneys on the roofs of some old-fashioned houses were rising with puffs of smoke.
"Time flies!" Walking on a small bridge in the village, Wanwan looked at the smoke in the distance, and suddenly said.
Leng Fei also felt that this afternoon's time had passed quickly, and he didn't feel like he had much fun, and an afternoon had passed, "Let's go eat something, shall we?" Leng Fei proposed.
I played for an afternoon, and I didn't eat much, and Wanwan's stomach was indeed a little hungry, so she nodded and said, "Well, then let's find a place to eat something here." ”
Leng Fei was a little surprised: "Here? ”
"Yes." Wanwan looked at Leng Fei, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face again: "Have you forgotten?" I like the feeling of happiness in a very simple way, isn't that good? ”
Leng Fei shook his head: "I know, there's nothing bad, let's go." ”
