"Do you ask your family to call me and talk about money?" After a while of silence, Dong's father spoke first.

"It's about going to school. Didn't you already know that German universities have started to ask for APS certificates? I have sent two application materials. I want you to send another (application materials) from Beijing. Isn't this safer? The APS Review Department is on the side of Liangmaqiao, and I have sent the address to your email address. I have also left a few personal materials for applying for a German university at home, which is in the third or fourth drawer on the left of my desk..."

Dong Qiangqiang suddenly remembered that his parents had moved, and he didn't know if his desk was still there, so he stopped unconsciously halfway through his words.

"So just send your materials to the APS Review Department? Do you need me to do something else? Then will they ask you to come back for an interview or send you the review certificate?" Dong's father threw his questions over like a gun.

"I don't know now that the other party will ask me to go back for an interview or send me the review certificate," Dong Qiangqiang said the truth, "I can only send the materials first before talking. By the way, you can indicate in the materials that I am already abroad, and I wonder if writing like this will be useful."

"Then when will I send it?" Dong's father asked impatiently for fear of delaying Dong Qiangqiang's affairs, "Today?"

"According to its notice, it will be officially open to the public on July 1st, so you can send it again on the 28th or 29th. Anyway, it's quick to send a few pieces of materials in the same city in Beijing."

"Then I won't send it anymore. If it's lost, it will be delayed." Dong's father was anxious and immediately had his own solution. "Didn't you give me the address? I will send the materials directly and ask them in person how to calculate the situation like you?"

Dong Qiangqiang felt that his father's idea was indeed more stable and immediately agreed. But after agreeing, the two fell silent at the same time.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Dong Qiangqiang didn't want to continue wasting phone bills. He mustered up the courage to ask: "Dad, I want to ask you something."

Father Dong said "hmm" without comment.

"Did you and mom... move?"

Dong's father seemed to have expected Dong Qiangqiang to ask this, and he replied lightly: "This matter... we originally wanted to tell you again in a while."

Seeing that his father neither scolded him nor denied or concealed him, Dong Qiangqiang was a little surprised and continued to ask: "Last time you said that your family's debts were paid back? Is there any connection between these two things...?"

"After I discuss it with your mother," Dong's father said calmly, "selling the old house."

The thing that he was most worried about finally happened. Dong Qiangqiang gasped and asked anxiously: "Why sell a house? Then where do you and your mother live now?"

"Part of the money you sold your house is paid back the money you borrowed from your relatives and friends when you went abroad, part of it is paid down payment for the second-hand house, and part of it is treated for your mother."

"My mom is hospitalized?" Dong Qiangqiang was shocked again and blurted out, "What's wrong with her? What's the disease? When? Is it serious? Which hospital to stay in? How is it now?"

"Don't be anxious, listen to me." Mr. Dong comforted him with kind words, "Your mother's illness is not serious. She found that her heart might not be very good during the physical examination. Just in case, I asked her to be hospitalized for a thorough examination, which would be safe. Besides, there are so many good hospitals in Beijing, so we chose one close to home, which is very convenient to walk around."

"Then..." Dong Qiangqiang's mind went blank, "I'll go back and see you and mom now? It's very cost-effective to buy air tickets here..."

"Nonsense!" Dong's father suddenly shouted on the phone, shaking the receiver, "Can you be more mature like an adult?"

"I can see you and mom when I go back, and I can also go to the APS Review Department." Dong Qiangqiang plucked up the courage and said, "It can be considered a killing two birds with one stone. How can it be considered a nonsense?"

Dong's father immediately interrupted Dong Qiangqiang's words and said in a stern tone: "Let me know. Your current task is to concentrate on preparing for things related to college. Don't worry about other things. Do you understand?"

"But..." Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but want to defend himself.

"There is nothing but. Remember, you are an adult now and you should think more carefully about your work. Have you forgotten what I said to you before going abroad? Stay calm whenever you encounter major events. Don't be impatient when encountering anything, that won't happen." Dong's father said coldly, "You don't have to come back. Your mother and I don't need to do it now. We can take good care of ourselves. Study hard, live well, and graduate hard. This is what you should do."

Hearing Dong's father's tone, Dong Qiangqiang shouted quickly: "If you don't let me go back, then you have to at least tell me the contact information at home? If... if... if there is a result in the APS or if there is something else at home, I can contact you and my god."

Mr. Dong thought for a while and said, "The new home has not installed a landline yet. I will send my mobile phone number to your email address. But remember, if you have important things, don't always call me if you have nothing to do. It will take a waste of time!"

Dong Qiangqiang thought it was easy to have a cell phone. He could always find a reason to call his home. He didn't insist at the moment and changed his words: "Then please go to the aps and ask me a call."

"I'll say again last: Don't send money to your family anymore. You have a lot of money, and your mother and I have enough money to spend." Although Dong's father is harsh, his concern inside and outside made Dong Qiangqiang feel a little sore.

"That's it, take care of yourself." After teaching Dong Qiangqiang a lesson, Dong's father didn't even have a greeting for an extra second, so he hung up the phone.

After Dong Qiangqiang calmed down a little, he called Lu Wei’s parents.

An old female voice with a Sichuan accent asked, "Is it Xiaowei?"

"Hello, Auntie, I am Lu Wei's classmate in Germany, my name is Dong Qiangqiang." Dong Qiangqiang replied hurriedly, "She asked me to call you."

"Who are you?" A "kick" noise came from the phone. Lu's mother's ears were not good, and she could hear intermittently.

"I am a classmate from Lu Wei Germany," Dong Qiangqiang repeated slowly word by word, "My name is Dong Qiangqiang."

"Oh, German... classmate, but I haven't heard Xiao Wei mention you." Lu's mother asked carefully, "Is there anything you have to do?"

"That's it," Dong Qiangqiang threw out the thought-out wording. "Lu Wei started internship at a famous German company this week. Because this position was very sudden, she didn't have time to call you and your uncle, and there might be a long time when she couldn't call her home."

"Internship? Where did you tell me she went for an internship?" Lu's mother seemed to doubt Dong Qiangqiang's words, "Why don't they let her call?"

Dong Qiangqiang was afraid that he would make mistakes in his words, so he quickly changed the topic: "Have you received the money she asked me to send you? The payee should be your name, Aunt Fu?"

"Oh, I received it. Did you send the money?" Lu's mother murmured in a low voice, "I also said why don't I know the remitter?"

"Well, it's good to receive it." When Dong Qiangqiang heard the other party receive the money, he breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible. "Then you and uncle take care of yourself. I'll call you next time."
