After everything was ready, on the morning of January 25, 2009, the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Wenbin drove his Mercedes S600, the trunk and back seat full of gifts, and drove east under Kate's command.

In the car, Kate revealed that her home is in a town in the county of Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate region of Bavaria, east of Sinsheim, about 260 kilometers from Rhine Neckar.

Kate's full name is Kate Biddle, and Biddle is her family's last name.

Her father, Armand Biddle, was the mayor of Dieterford, her mother, Marie Biddle, was the owner and chief designer of a mid-range architectural design firm in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, and her younger brother, Milo Biddle, attended a high school in Munich.

Therefore, Kate's family is a rich family, but it is not extremely rich, at least Lu Wenbin, who has now become a big star, earns no less money every year than Kate's mother Mary.

If Lu Wenbin can really lead Hoffenheim to win the Bundesliga championship, the rise in salaries and the influx of commercial endorsements will surpass the Kate family in terms of income.

This made Lu Wenbin breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Lu Wenbin has never heard of Dietfort at all, nor has he any impression of it.

Kate didn't give him any more introductions, only told Lu Wenbin that he would be surprised when he arrived at Dietford.

There is no speed limit on the German autobahn, and in less than two hours, the two men passed Nuremberg and turned south and exited the highway at an exit near Dieterfurt.

After getting out of the highway, Kate asked Lu Wenbin to stop on the side of the road, change positions, and let her drive.

Because she was afraid that Lu Wenbin would be distracted after entering Dietford later, and she would not be able to concentrate on driving.

Lu Wenbin gave up the driver's seat to Kate in confusion, not understanding what something would distract him from Dieterford.

Could it be that Dietfort is a beautiful tourist town with beautiful scenery?

Kate didn't answer Lu Wenbin and continued to remain mysterious.

After driving on the county road in Neumarkt for more than ten minutes, when the car was about to enter the town of Dietford, where Kate's family was located, Lu Wenbin was startled by a stone monument at the entrance of the town.

I saw a stone monument several meters high erected at the entrance of the town, which clearly marked the latitude and longitude of Dietfort and Beijing in Chinese and German, and engraved "Dietfort is 7698km away from Tiananmen Square in Beijing" in large font.

Lu Wenbin pointed to the stele in surprise and asked Kate, "What's going on?" ”

Kate smiled: "It's literal, it's 7698km away from Beijing's Tiananmen Square!" ”

Lu Wenbin shook his hand again and again: "No, no, I'm asking why you erect such a stone monument, and especially use Chinese and German bilingual to mark the distance, is there any special significance?" ”

Kate laughs: "The meaning is to tell the town and all the people who come to Dietfort that this place is 7698km from our capital!" ”

Lu Wenbin was dumbfounded, and said dumbly: "Your capital? ”

Kai nodded and said, "Yes, we are Chinese in Bavaria!" So, Beijing is our capital! ”

Lu Wenbin looked at the stone tablet, and then looked at Kate with a smile on her face, and couldn't tell whether Kate was telling the truth or not.

But such a stone monument suddenly appeared on the land of Germany, which made Lu Wenbin feel really incredible.

Next, Kate drove slowly into the town, and Lu Wenbin was even more shocked and speechless.

Lanterns and colorful flags with Chinese characteristics are hung everywhere on the roofs of roadside houses, with Chinese dragons painted on them, or simply five-star red flags.

The restaurant sign says Chinese, not German. Customers who eat in restaurants use chopsticks, not knives and forks.

There are also many people on the door, on the window pasted blessing characters, paste Spring Festival couplets, children wear Chinese-style horse coats, running around on both sides of the street, adults also wear all kinds of festive blessing robes, cheongsams and so on.

Many colorful flags and banners in the streets and alleys read in Chinese: "Hi, Chinese! "Chinese, hello! "Happy New Year! "Wait.

A cheerful scene of a Chinese town welcoming Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival.

However, Lu Wenbin clearly saw that all the people in the town were Germans, and almost no Chinese were seen.

Kate opened the window and greeted pedestrians on the road in Chinese, not German.

Someone saw Lu Wenbin in the co-pilot, and he also looked elated and greeted Lu Wenbin in fluent or broken Chinese: "Hi, Chinese, hello!" ”

Lu Wenbin replied stupidly: "Hello, hello! ”

Kate told Lu Wenbin that the town's official language is Chinese. Although some people say that it is not standard or even can't speak, they are proud to be able to speak Chinese and speak Chinese fluently.

When passing by what looked like a government office building, there was also a statue of a Qing Dynasty official with a mustache at the door, standing guard in front of the government office building, watching the pedestrians coming and going.

Lu Wenbin also saw two Chinese cultural museums and a Chinese school, with slogans written in Chinese.

After the huge shock, Lu Wenbin felt a strong sense of intimacy.

Although many things here are out of shape, they are certainly not as authentic as a real Chinese town.

But in Europe and Germany, Lu Wenbin is extremely excited to see such a town full of strong Chinese style, and to spend the Spring Festival in such a small town.

After Kate parked her car in front of a villa not far from the town government office building, a couple and a boy of about 16 years old in the villa heard the sound of cars coming out of the villa.

After Lu Wenbin got out of the co-pilot, the boy's eyes lit up, and he rushed towards Lu Wenbin, shouting in broken Chinese as he ran: "Wow, Lu, brother-in-law, my idol!" ”

Then, after running closer, he took a leap and pounced on Lu Wenbin.

Lu Wenbin hugged him and said with a smile: "Hello, you must be Milo?" ”

Milo nodded fiercely and said, "Welcome to my house for the New Year, Lu!" You're so good at football, I used to be a Bayern fan, but now I'm a Hoffenheim fan and yours fan, and a lot of my classmates have switched sides with me and supported Hoffenheim! ”

Lu Wenbin put Milo down and said with a smile: "Thank you!" ”

At this time, Kate got down from the main driver, pulled Lu Wenbin and said, "Let's go, I'll introduce your parents to you!" ”

Lu Wenbin followed Kate to the door of the villa, and Milo followed behind.

Walking to the door of the villa with a smile on their faces, Armand and Mary introduced the two parties, Lu Wenbin greeted the two, and Armand and Mary also welcomed Lu Wenbin in fluent Chinese.

Afterwards, Armand and Mary beckoned Lu Wenbin into the house, but Lu Wenbin said that there were many gifts in the car.

Then, Lu Wenbin, Kate, and Milo returned to the car and brought out large bags of gifts.

Although Armand and Mary said kind words on their mouths, their faces were full of smiles, and they felt very satisfied with Lu Wenbin's daughter and boyfriend.
