Chapter 67: Really Poor or Pretending to Be Poor
Nils was thrilled to see Gauss again.
He immediately ordered Lucas to close the door of the restaurant, and sent Hannah to the back to call Ruwan.
Finally, after a six-year hiatus, the Gauss and Nils families reunited at the red-walled restaurant in Hamburg.
I haven't seen you for six years, of course, everyone has a lot to say, but for a while, I don't know how to speak.
Seeing that Lucas had been secretly looking at him, Gauss joked and said, "Lucas, you are so vigilant, you should not suspect it now, my Uncle Gao is also a faker, right?" Although he and Nils did not call themselves brothers, they must have gotten along with each other in the same generational mode, so there was nothing wrong with calling himself an uncle in front of Nils's son.
Lucas was embarrassed: "I don't have any doubts, but I haven't seen you for six years, Uncle Gao, why haven't you changed at all, and you are still so young? Just looking at your appearance, Uncle Gao seems to be younger than me." Look at my parents, they're both much older, and their gray hair is popping out......"
Gauss didn't hide it either, and said calmly: "Magic is a supernatural power, and there is always some benefit to cultivating supernatural power." Immortality may be difficult to achieve, but my appearance should not change no matter how young I am. ”
Hannah listened very carefully, and immediately took over and said, "Uncle Gao, you are so capable, can you make my parents a few years younger? You see, they are only in their forties, and they are already so old." ”
Lu Wan immediately pulled Hannah over and gently patted her on the head: "Hannah, be sensible, don't talk nonsense." ”
Gauss disagreed: "Actually, I don't need Hannah to say it, I already thought about it when I saw Nils in the kitchen. Rest assured, this is a trivial matter for me. I'll get you and Nils some magic jerky when you go back, and you eat a few pieces of magic jerky every day, and it won't be long before you regain your youth. This kind of magic jerky was made by me with the blood and flesh of a giant dragon when I traveled to the starry sky, and after you eat it, not only will your hair turn white, but your physique will also increase. Lucas, Hannah, you can eat too, eat long strength. ”
Several people exclaimed in surprise when they heard the dragon.
Although it was inevitable to meet again, surprises were inevitable, but they didn't expect that they would be able to eat dragon meat.
Lucas's eyes suddenly lit up and grasped the point: "Uncle Gao, have you been to another planet?"
Gauss took the opportunity to bring up the old story: "I have indeed been there, it is a beautiful planet, called Azeroth. However, although I returned from Azeroth this time, I was free to do so, but when I first went there I couldn't help it. Nils, do you remember that six years ago, I woke you up in the middle of the night and said I wanted to leave, but it was because something wonderful happened to me. I came out of your house, barely far, when I was taken to Azeroth by a spell. ”
Nils suddenly realized: "No wonder you never came back. ”
"Uncle Gao, what does the dragon look like? As the book says, it has wings and can breathe fire?"
This is Hannah asking, she is only thirteen years old, and her focus is naturally different.
Gauss scratched her nose before he grinned and said, "Hannah, you want to know what a dragon looks like, it's too easy." When I have time in the future, I will take you to ride the dragon to Beihai and fly around, so I promise that you will see enough. ”
"Really?" Not only Hannah and Lucas, but also Nils and Ruwan, were very excited to hear it.
Gauss smiled: "This kind of thing is a double glare, and I can't fake it, of course it's true." Don't look at me empty-handed as if I didn't have anything with me, in fact, as a mage, I have already made a space for myself to carry around. I've raised hundreds of dragons in my personal space, and if you want to see them in the future, there will be opportunities. ”
Next, he spoke eloquently, describing Azeroth as a place like a fairy.
Of course, there are some things about Azeroth, and when Gauss tells it, he inevitably has reservations.
Dwarves and elves can talk about it, but there is no need to talk about demigods, true gods, and void lords.
Subsequently, Nils also told Gauss about his experience in the past six years.
Unexpectedly, the family moved to Hamburg, and it was indeed the situation.
In recent years, the political atmosphere in Berlin has been too fanatical.
Because before the Nazis provoked the war, they made an alliance with Japan, counting on Japan, a second-rate power, and at the same time opening up a battlefield in the east to share some pressure for themselves, so when China and Japan went to war, the Nazis naturally changed their position and supported Japan with clear support.
China and Japan were at war, and since the Nazis supported Japan, they naturally belittled China.
As a result, as soon as the Nazi propaganda machine was turned on, the Chinese in Germany immediately fell into a difficult situation.
Couples like Niels and Lu Wan were normal in Germany in the past, but when the Nazis began to demonize China, because the political atmosphere in Berlin has always been more fanatical, Lu Wan's Chinese identity has brought unimaginable troubles to their family.
After Nils left Hydra, he didn't find any work in Berlin for two years because he had a Chinese wife.
If you don't have a job, you have no income, and even if you have any savings, you will panic.
Lu Wan thought about breaking the engagement with Nils, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she angered Nils.
Nils told Lu Wan in front of Lucas and Hannah that even if life was ten times more difficult, he couldn't punish himself for other people's mistakes.
Lucas and Hannah were mixed-race and also suffered some discrimination at school at this time.
Although they are young, through their parents, they have deeply realized the persistence of being a human being.
Wrong is wrong, right is right.
Even if the world is chaotic and sinking, the truth cannot be denied and will always shine brightly.
Unable to find a job in Berlin, Nils sold his apartment and moved his family to Hamburg.
Hamburg has a Chinatown, and the identity of a Chinese is certainly not as prominent in Chinatown as it is in Berlin.
It's just that they didn't expect that just a year later, the Hamburg authorities have introduced a lot of restrictions against Chinese people.
Originally, the Red Wall Restaurant was managed by Lu Wan, and Nils was considered a cook, and when the burger official directly issued a ban on Chinese people doing business, the two had to switch over and push Nils in front, while Lu Wan hid in the back and secretly became a cook.
Lucas and Hannah really didn't go to school a few years ago.
Nils and Lu Wan don't care about themselves, but they are worried that their children can't stand discrimination at school.
After discussing it, they decided to teach the two children to read themselves.
However, as Hannah said, not to mention primary schools in the St. Pauli district of Hamburg, even the teachers in middle schools may not have a higher level of knowledge than Niels and Lu Wan.
Nils, in particular, with his qualifications, is not at all embarrassed to become a professor at a university.
There are not many words to know, and before you know it, it is late at night.
Seeing that Hannah was sleepy, Lu Wan proposed to go home.
Gauss, of course, said yes, and he also wanted to see where the Nils family lived.
So, Lucas led the way, and several people carried two lanterns and walked out of the back door of the restaurant.
After walking for more than half a mile along the dark alley, I finally saw a row of arcades.
The architectural style of the arcade is oriental, two stories high, fifty or sixty meters long.
Coming to the arcade, Lucas turned and went up the west escalator.
The escalator is built next to the wall, suspended in the air and folded in two, and because it is made of iron, it will rattle when you step on it.
On the second floor of the arcade, the houses are one after another, and each room here is a family.
Everyone went up to the corridor on the second floor, and after a few steps, there were voices one after another, coming from one room after another.
These sounds are both in the south and the north, but without exception, they come from the mouths of the Chinese people.
Although there was no one in sight, it was clear that they were all greeting: "Is Nils back?"
Nils responded one by one as he walked.
When Gauss heard the titles of "Lao Wang", "Mr. Li", and "Sister Mo", he kept coming out of the mouth of a German in Nils, and he inevitably felt interesting, so he whispered to Lu Wan: "Niels is very popular......
Lu Wan listened, as if she had something to say, her lips moved, but she still didn't say it.
In front of the nineteenth goal, Lucas stopped.
At this time, Lu Wan stepped forward, took out the key and opened the door.
As soon as he entered the door, Nils put down the things in his hand and immediately said: "Gao, the electricity in this arcade was cut off by the government half a year ago, and we rely on candle......s for lighting at night."
Seeing this, Gauss smiled, took out a Stone of Elune, and summoned a bright moonlight.
"Nils, don't forget that I'm a mage, and lighting isn't hard for a mage to handle. ”
Everyone was stunned when they saw a ray of moonlight falling from Gauss's hand out of thin air, sprinkling a little light in the room.
Hannah didn't seem sleepy, and leaned over to Gauss's hand, her eyes flickering and staring.
Seeing that Hannah really liked it, Gauss gave her the Stone of Elune, then took out another piece and summoned a second ray of moonlight.
Soon, the Stone of Elune was placed on a round stool and placed in the middle of the room.
The moonlight is like water, sprinkling clear light, illuminating the whole room as bright as day.
Gauss looked at it a few times, and then joked with Nils: "Nils, the restaurant business is so good, but you make your home so shabby, don't you want to pretend to be poor?" Indeed, there was hardly any decent furniture to be found in the house, and even the sofa on which he sat was tattered, revealing the inflatable rubber inside.
Nils was a little embarrassed and was about to explain, but he was snatched up by Hannah: "Uncle Gao, you don't know, our family is not pretending to be poor, but really poor! Although our family's restaurant is doing very well, my parents have given all the money they earned from opening the restaurant to Uncle Chen of the Sailor's House, and asked him to buy food and bread to help his compatriots!"
Gauss listened in awe: "No wonder this ......"
