While walking towards the waiting hall, Yang Nianzhong asked curiously, what the grandmother on the side said. "Grandma, you are so old, why do you travel alone? Do you feel comfortable traveling alone? ”

"What if you have any trouble outside, what if you have any accidents? Your family is also too irresponsible. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the old woman heard Yang Nianzhong ask, she replied in London-accented English. "Young man, you misunderstood, although I was married when I was young, I didn't give birth to a child of my own, I don't have children, how can children travel with me everywhere?"

As soon as Yang Nianzhong heard this, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, didn't he pour salt into the wound in the old grandmother's heart? Yang Nianzhong coughed embarrassedly, but he didn't expect this old woman to be very open, and said with a smile as she walked.

"Although I didn't have a child of my own, I adopted a child, but my daughter had a rough life and died before the age of 70, leaving me as an old man."

"And my grandsons have no income, they can only do those low-level jobs in their hometown, and it is a problem to feed the family, so how can they accompany me to Switzerland?"

Yang Nianzhong has always been very interested in where this kind old grandmother is, because the other party speaks with a London accent, but she doesn't look like a Londoner, so Yang Nianzhong asked.

"Oh, I see, I think I'm misunderstanding your children, grandma, you speak strong English in London, and some of the vocabulary is more jerky, but you don't look like an Englishman."

The old grandmother stood up suddenly, looked at Yang Nianzhong and blinked, her eyes grinned and said proudly. "You can hear that, yes, although I speak English in London, I'm not British, I spent 10 years in London as a child."

"Then I followed my mother and my family to live in Poland, it was not easy to survive the Second World War, but fortunately, I have the experience of living in London, and it is not a problem to teach English to children, I am an English teacher in Poland."

As soon as Yang Nianzhong heard this, he understood what was going on, because it was very cold outside, so Yang Nianzhong couldn't help but speed up his steps, but he didn't expect the old woman on the side to be able to keep up with him, and quickly sent the old man to the waiting hall.

Yang Nianzhong originally wanted to settle the old man, or hand him over to the flight attendants, so he turned around and walked out of the waiting hall and took the car back to the hotel to rest.

It is possible that the old man is too lonely, and it may be that the old man is more cordial when he sees Yang Nianzhong, saying that he will not let Yang Nianzhong go, and will take Yang Nianzhong to sit beside him and chat.

After a detailed understanding, Yang Nianzhong learned that although this old man lived in Poland, he was not a Slav, but a Jew who was over 90 years old this year, and had been sent to a concentration camp after World War II, and almost died.

If this old woman hadn't had one hand, he wouldn't have survived the embroidery stunt, and the Allies survived the liberation of the Polish concentration camp. Then the question arises, this grandmother is a Polish Jew.

So why did he appear at the airport in Lausanne? The old man was not necessarily wealthy in his dress and suitcase, and the price of a plane ticket from Lausanne to any city in Poland was not cheap.

Yang Nianzhong raised his own question, the old man smiled, his face was immediately happy, and when he looked at Yang Nianzhong, he fell into contemplation, and his originally clear eyes immediately became cloudy, and after a while, the old man reacted, and couldn't help but shake his head and say with a wry smile.

"Young man, I see that you are a very warm-hearted person, so let me tell you what happened to me."

Although it was night, Yang Nianzhong went back to the hotel room to sleep, and felt very lonely, no longer hungry, not tired and not thirsty, accompanied the old man when he was fine, and it was not too late to send him to the plane and go back.

And the old man's boarding time is at 10 o'clock in the evening, and there is still more than an hour, the old man is willing to say, Yang Nianzhong is also willing to listen, seeing that Yang Nianzhong does not object, the old man said.

"I was born in 1919, my nationality is German, my family is German Jew, I was born to fight in time for the war, at that time I was suffering from malnutrition, and my mother had no milk, so I was the only girl in my family to survive."

"My father took my family to London for 10 years, but all of a sudden, my father, who was an architect, seemed to have received a letter from a childhood friend asking him to return to Germany."

"We followed my father back, but my father's friend asked him to go back to his childhood hometown and build something in the forest, so that he didn't let me ask about my father's whereabouts from then on."

"I go out early and return late every day, but the other party gives me a lot of salary, so my mother lives very well with our six or seven children."

"Because of my father's high income and my mother's good management, the family had more and more property, and it was not until 1935 that my father completed the commission of that friend."

"It stands to reason that my father would be very happy when the project was completed, but I didn't expect my father to come back that night with a sad face."

"The mother who dragged us into the room first and discussed it for several hours, and when we children woke up the second morning, the father was gone, and we haven't seen him since."

Yang Nianzhong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, it seems that the old man has been in the house for a long time, and there is no one to chat with him, so he chats endlessly, and he actually starts with his father's generation.

The old man is over 90 years old, his father is not more than 100 years old, and after telling the story of more than 100 years, he will not be able to get on the plane tomorrow morning, and he will not be able to go back to the hotel to sleep, this story is too long.

Yang Nianzhong originally wanted to interrupt the old man's family, wanting the old man's parents to make a short story, but he didn't expect that he hadn't waited for a squeak, and the old man said after a while.

"I didn't see my father again, and then my mother went into hiding with my siblings, and soon after the outbreak of World War II, we fled from Germany to Poland."

"But soon ** occupied Poland, and what kind of treatment did we Jews suffer, I think you should also know that if I didn't have a skill in embroidery, I wouldn't have survived to the day of liberation by the Allies."

"I survived, but all of my family died, but I found the cross that my mother wore since childhood."

Saying that, the old man took off a sterling silver cross from his neck, the cross was not long and only 6 centimeters, but this cross was very thick, and it looked like sterling silver should have been worth some money in that era.

When the old man said this, he looked at Yang Nianzhong with a cross in his hand, and deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously. "When my family was crushed into the camp, my mother told me and all my brothers and sisters that this cross looked ordinary. But he was actually the key to open the safe deposit box of the Swiss bank, and with the password, he was able to withdraw his father's current life savings from the bank account. ”
