Chapter 123: Don't Stay in Europe
"To China? Why go to China? Emma was reluctant and said, "Dad, as you said before, our country is in trouble right now, shouldn't we stay together and tide over it together?" ”
Planck looked at his daughter, then at the various papers on the table, and struggled, "Can ...... But after all, you are my daughter, I must have lost a son and a daughter in the past few years, and now I don't want to lose any of you. ”
Emma shook her head lightly and sat down beside her father, "But am I not okay now?" A little angel will come to us soon, how can we leave home at such an important moment? ”
It's okay not to mention this, but when he mentions this, Planck's face is not very good-looking, and he raised his hand to reprimand his daughter, but he found that the other party was caressing his stomach with a loving face, and his arm hung down weakly: "Emma, have you forgotten your twin sister?" ”
Emma was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, she raised her head again with red eyes: "How could I forget, we grew up together, just like another me, I can't forget her in this life." ”
Planck snorted lightly: "No, you are her, Margaret married that rival family, and died in childbirth not long after marriage, and you just listened to me and married the same person, how can I rest assured?" ”
Emma grabbed the corner of her clothes and persuaded, "Father, it's different, we are all for love." ”
The two daughters are almost carved out of the same mold, and not only look alike, but also bear a slight resemblance to their deceased mother, which at first glance looks like when she was younger.
But now the two precious daughters are about to be destroyed in the hands of the same person, which makes it difficult for Planck to accept.
Taking down his wife's picture from the wall, Planck gently stroked it in his hand, and only said quietly after half a ring: "Love? If it was for love, then that bastard shouldn't have reached out to you, and now his shadow? Why is it just you? ”
Emma argued: "That's because he's afraid of you and knows that you haven't been waiting to see him, so he doesn't want to come and touch your mold." ”
Planck was dismissive of this: "If he really thought about it so much, he wouldn't have made you pregnant so quickly, and even if he was not careful, he would have hired at least two servants to take care of your life, instead of making you run around every day." ”
Emma came over and leaned on her father's back, and said softly: "The country is now defeated, he has lost his financial resources, and he has the children left by his sister to support, where is there any money to hire a servant, and I also took the initiative to go out to work." ”
Originally, there was still a breath of qi in his heart, but after his daughter's moment, Planck's heart completely softened.
Looking at the photos of his deceased wife, it seems that he is also telling him that when he was young, he was handsome and handsome, and he also stayed in the flowers, and he became a responsible and good father after marriage.
But thinking about his eldest daughter, Planck's heart calmed down again: "Hmph, is that kid just outside?" ”
Emma was immediately overjoyed, "Dad, would you like to see him?" ”
Planck put the picture of his deceased wife back on the wall and said expressionlessly, "I haven't said that." ”
Emma didn't care so much, kissed her father on the cheek, and hurriedly ran out, for fear that her father would regret it: "Hehe, dear father, I'm going to call him over." ”
It is said that the daughter is her father's little padded jacket, but now it seems that Emma's little padded jacket is leaking everywhere, and it can't keep out the cold at all.
Looking at Emma's cheerful back, Planck muttered in his heart: "I really owe this son-in-law in my last life, and I actually have to take two daughters in this life, alas, it's really a big girl." ”
But he obviously didn't want to say this, and seeing that his daughter's steps were a little unsteady, Planck hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Slow down, you still have one in your stomach now, but it's not a little girl." ”
My father-in-law's dog, my uncle's good friend.
As the son-in-law of the Planck family, Hans did not think that there was any truth in this sentence, but now that he married his sister-in-law, and came to his father-in-law's house again, it was a trembling man, and he would never dare to enter the house, although the fireplace was burning, but it seemed to him that it was colder than outside.
But after sending his wife, he didn't dare to leave directly, after all, now that his wife is also pregnant, he can't stand any mistakes, and he won't forgive himself.
He was bored, looking at the puppy in the kennel that was kind, and his appearance looked much more pleasing to the eye, and he was happy to hold the puppy and play.
"Baru, I haven't seen you for so long, are you okay, honestly tell me how many you've had?"
The dog, whose name was Baru, was very spiritual, and when he heard this, he barked three times in a row.
"Oh God, you're amazing." Hans screamed, crouched down and said, "But if you want to be a good dog, you can't be too careful, you have to take care of the puppy, do you understand?" ”
Regardless of whether the dog understood these words or not, Hans said vigorously, at first the dog wagged his tail excitedly, and at last his face showed anthropomorphic disgust, and he had to bare his teeth several times.
Fortunately, Emma came in time, and wondered at this side, "Hans?!" What are you doing? ”
"Oh, Emma, why did you get out?" Rubbing the dog's head, Hans hurriedly trotted over: "I just played with Balu for a while, you finished talking to Dad, is it time for us to go home?" ”
"Well, come back to the house with me." Emma said softly.
"Okay, let's go in...... Yes? Before he could agree, Hans immediately reacted, holding his wife's waist and hesitating, "You didn't say anything wrong just now?" Is it for me to get in? ”
"yes, Daddy let you in, I have something to say to you." Emma tilted her head, her tone couldn't hide her excitement.
Hans regretted a little at this time, if he had been able to be at ease in front of Planck before, but since his wife died in childbirth, he felt guilty about facing his father-in-law, and married his sister-in-law, which was even more empty-hearted.
Now let yourself into the house, it is better to continue to stay with the dog.
However, looking at the happiness on his wife Emma's face, Hans really couldn't bear to fight, and after hesitating for a while, he clenched his fist: "Okay, I promise you." ”
At this time, the dog wagged its tail again, stretched out its tongue and followed behind, barking in its mouth, and did not know what it meant.
What Hans didn't expect was that he barely had much time to build his mind, and the first thing he saw when he opened the door and went in was Planck, staring at him coldly.
"Dad...... Dad, are you cold? ”
"Humph!"
Outside of the cold snort, Planck didn't want to waste a little more spit.
Feeling the embarrassment of the atmosphere, Emma hurriedly stepped forward to resolve it: "Dad, you just promised me, don't do this, okay?" ”
Plancton felt helpless, and the fortress he had just built was broken down by his own people, and he shook his head and walked inside.
"Come in, I have something to say to you."
Hans's nervousness was suddenly relieved, and after giving his wife a grateful look, he hurriedly followed.
After the episode, Emma reconciled in the middle, and the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law eased a lot, but the progress was still relatively limited.
"Hans, before you came over, I discussed something with Emma, and Emma didn't directly agree, I want to hear your opinion first." Planck said in a deep voice.
"You and Emma are in charge of everything, and I'll just take care of her." Hans hastened to make a statement.
Emma was a little panicked, and quickly grabbed her husband's hand: "Hans, this matter is not so simple, it is about you and me, and it is also about the child we will be born in the future." ”
Hanston was startled and uncertain, "Kid? How can it still be related to children? ”
There was no plan to speak to her daughter again, Planck stood up and said: "Actually, this matter is very simple, I want to take Emma to China for a period of time to help her through the whole stage of childbirth." ”
"Daddy, this ...... Why don't you tell me about this in advance? Hans couldn't sit still, so he stood up and raised his voice and said, "China is so far away, we don't know anything about it. ”
Planck frowned, "So you're not going to agree?" ”
Hans's lips pursed and pursed, and he couldn't give a clear answer.
However, judging from the expression on his face, it is clear that he does not agree with the proposal to go to China.
Planck only glanced at it, then immediately retracted it, and asked in a cold voice, "Hans, have you forgotten Margaret?" ”
"I ...... I haven't forgotten it, and I dare not forget it. ”
"Okay, then let me ask you, when Margaret was pregnant, did you do your duty as a husband?"
"Not good enough."
"Very well, you promised very happily, if Emma also had a difficult birth, what can you do as a husband?"
"No, there will be no more difficult births, and the tragedy will never happen again."
"Why are you so sure? Do you still want to gamble with my daughter's life? To tell you the truth, Emma's reactions during pregnancy are almost exactly the same as her sister's, aren't you afraid of coming to the door again by accident?! ”
"I ...... I don't know ......."
After a series of questions, Planck forced his son-in-law Hans to retreat, and finally collapsed on his seat, holding his head in his hands and his face full of pain.
"I don't know, I really don't know."
Planck's face was like frost, if it weren't for his daughter's face, he would definitely slam the door, sighed, and slowly sat in front of his son-in-law: "I have an old friend in China, and he told me that China has a medical technique that has been inherited from the previous year, and in some ways it is better than the current Western medicine, do you know what I mean?" Hans! ”
Hans lifted his messy hair: "Can help Emma?" ”
Planck nodded and said, "I can find specialized talents before, during, and after childbirth, and I got a new term from my Chinese friend, called 'confinement', and with Margaret's lesson, I really don't believe too much in Western medicine." ”
Despite the heartwarming words, Hans still had some thoughts of his own: "But that's China, after all." ”
"What's wrong with China? If our European culture had been as advanced as we had imagined at the beginning, there would not have been such a terrible war, and so many young people would not have died on the battlefield in vain. Planck blew his beard and said angrily: "Now is the time for us to learn from China's Confucian thought, and to value harmony!" ”
It is known that every era exists in every country, especially the current Germany, which is about to face a huge war reparation, which naturally caused many Germans to reflect.
The ideas of Confucius and Mencius, which have been passed down in China for thousands of years, have slowly appeared in front of the eyes of some Germans, although they do not play a significant role, but they are enough to make these people interested in Chinese culture and even change some outdated views.
Seeing that Hans was still a little unconvinced, Planck couldn't help but be bored and said, "Hans, don't forget what you promised me when you married my little daughter, you will take good care of her, is this your way of taking care of her?" ”
Hans blushed and couldn't say anything for a long time.
Emma couldn't stand it anymore, so she took her husband's hand and took the initiative to relieve the siege: "Dad, Hans is still very good to me, and now I basically stay at home, he goes out early and returns late to earn money, and takes care of me to the greatest extent." ”
Planck glared at his daughter and said in a loud voice, "How can this be?" You have a big belly now, if something happens at home, who will help you in time? ”
almost the words fell, and the ground was silent, and the daughter and son-in-law were speechless.
After a while, Hans finally spoke: "Dad, I promise you, promise to let Emma go to China, but I still don't feel at ease, I want to hire excellent Western medicine doctors at the same time, if you can agree to this request, then I have nothing to say about the rest." ”
Planck's eyebrow knot slowly soothed, but his face was still deliberately pressurized: "My daughter, this time I naturally have to be fully prepared, you can rest assured, in China there are not only excellent Chinese medicine, but also excellent Western medicine, the two combinations work together, for Emma I can rest assured." ”
As he spoke, he handed over the plan that had been drafted.
Seeing the detailed plans above, Hans was completely speechless, and finally stood up and promised again and again, saying that he would make good money in Germany so that Emma could be treated best.
But at this time, Planck was not very happy: "You don't want to stay in China, go to China with us?" ”
Hans was puzzled: "Huh? Why? ”
Planck said angrily: "You even asked me why? Your wife gave birth in a foreign country, shouldn't you, as a husband, protect her? You can find a job anywhere."
"But ......"
"Not so much, but, hurry home and pack your things, the person who picked you up will be coming soon."
"And you, you daughter, don't torture your dad anymore, I don't want to experience a white-haired person sending a black-haired person again!"
A gust of wind blew, and the snow on the cypress tree fell, hitting the dog, and he was immediately shivered by the cold, and finally changed his position and continued to lie on the kennel to sleep.
Not far away, a group of people were stepping on the thick snow.
"How far is it from Planck's house?"
"Lord Wang, I'll be here soon, and the one with the dog on a leash in front is it." (End of chapter)
