The next day, the broadband service provider that Dong Qiangqiang had arranged for arrived as scheduled. Yulia happened to be back from shopping for groceries, and followed the engineer and Dong Qiangqiang who came, listening intently to the exchange between the two of them.

There are no gaps around the door frame of the main entrance of the villa, and it is impossible to enter the line from the main entrance. The only thing that leads from the outside to the inside is the telephone line, but the telephone line is placed in a pipe buried in the wall, and the outlet of the pipe is close to the wall.

, the pipes after entering the house are winding around in the wall, making it difficult to add a broadband line to them, and the second plan was also rejected.

After some inspection, the engineer came up with a third plan: since the wall was too thick to drill holes directly in the wall, he suggested leading the broadband line along the cement floor at the base of the wall to Dong Qiangqiang's second floor in the yard.

On the balcony, punch holes in the balcony door. Door

The board is old and not solid wood, so it is easy to operate. The engineer can make the hole as small as possible and beautify the outside of the hole to make the hole less abrupt and ugly. If Dong Qiangqiang can accept it, he can make it in half

The network was installed within hours.

Seeing no other option, Dong Qiangqiang had no choice but to take Yulia aside to ask for her opinion.

"Ms. Yulia, it seems that... punching may be inevitable." Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly said without waiting for the other party to speak, "But I remember what you said before, so I am willing to pay you some money now to compensate you.

If you think this is not enough, you can deduct all the deposit when I check out, even if I install a new balcony door for you. Do you think that is okay?"

He was very satisfied with his proposal: if it breaks, repair it and then pay for it, that’s okay, right? And he didn’t do any bad things by drilling holes. The old lady can surf the Internet at home.

"Nothing is inevitable." The old lady stared into his eyes, her sharp eyes filled with majesty, "And please remember, this is my home." She said every word.

After saying that, she left the stunned Dong Qiangqiang where he was and left the room on his own.

Dong Qiangqiang finally understood: the old man didn't want to pretend at all.

After sending the engineer away, he wandered back and forth in the backyard melancholy.

Although installing the Internet means an increase in monthly expenses, he has long been accustomed to living with the Internet. The Internet can bring more information and entertainment to him more conveniently. For example, with the Internet, he does not need to buy a TV and can directly watch videos on the Internet.

You can exercise your listening skills by reading the latest German news, and you can also use Internet phone calls to call your parents in China more cheaply. It’s a lot cheaper than using a mobile phone to make direct calls. You can also communicate with classmates and friends in China online. The benefits are countless, not to mention him.

Today's trading and learning also require the support of the Internet.

Seeing Dong Qiangqiang wandering around in the backyard, "Radar" ran out from the green woods in the distance.

Although Dong Qiangqiang had already moved in, he had not interacted much with "Radar". "Radar" was both curious and wary of him, and finally stood still three or four meters away from him, watching his actions intently.

.

Dong Qiangqiang's heart was filled with frustration because the Internet was not installed. He had previously thought that installing the Internet was just a trivial matter, because he had easily done it in Hannover. The former landlord didn't even say a word, let alone compensation.

thing, but now Yulia flatly rejected him. What he couldn't understand even more was the strong resistance Yulia showed when he offered compensation, as if Dong Qiangqiang had destroyed something precious to her.

.

Seeing Dong Qiangqiang standing still, "Radar" wagged his tail, lowered his head and sniffed the lawn and walked away alone.

He wanted to call Du Lanfa to complain, but as soon as his fingers landed on the phone buttons, a thought flashed through his mind: Wouldn't it be too pretentious for him to grab Du Lan and complain about this and that in less than a week after school started?

Not a man at all? Not a single girl in Du Lan complained to him all day long. He was studying at the Technical University of Munich, which is known as the hell mode for graduation difficulty. Thinking of this, he suddenly lost the courage to call and complain.

The weather was perfect in the morning, and the golden sunshine shone through the gaps in the forest on the green grass in front of the house. In my ears, I could hear the shouts of four Du Juans one after another, like a forest choir holding a concert.

He stared blankly at the lush woods in the distance, rustling in the wind, and was lost in thought for a while. When his emotions slowly calmed down, he realized that he had just said the wrong thing.

How could he say something stupid like "Punching holes is inevitable" to the other party? He was very upset. It must be because he wanted to install the network so much that he spoke so arrogantly, but it was useless to be upset now.

When he went out, it was like water being thrown out. The old lady must have been angry at that time. With such a strong character, the old lady would not allow the installation of the network to be a trivial matter. Whether he could continue to live there might be a problem.

Maybe he should apologize to the other person, he thought, but he didn't have the courage to knock on the other person's door. After hesitating for a long time, he angrily packed his schoolbag and rushed to the university to attend the audit class.

Before entering the classroom, he received a call from his parents, and then he remembered that he had forgotten to report the start of school to his parents because he was busy.

It was already night in the country, and the main source of communication was still Dong's mother. The questions were the same as before, always surrounding "How is Dong Qiangqiang's health, studying and working recently? Is he short of money? Does he have a girlfriend? Have he met him yet?"

What kind of difficulties do we need help from our parents?" and other core issues of family political economy unfold head-on or in a roundabout way.

Dong Qiangqiang was already familiar with his parents' routines, but today he had just been rejected and was in a low mood, so he seemed a little absent-minded when answering questions.

As the saying goes, "It is better to know a son than his mother." The keen mother Dong immediately noticed something strange about her son and immediately asked: "Have you encountered any difficulties? If you have any difficulties, you must tell your family. Going out is not as good as being at home. You don't have to do everything by yourself."

Go ahead, your parents will always support you..."

In an instant, Dong Qiangqiang felt that there seemed to be mist in his eyes. He was surprised that he was not a person with shallow eye sockets, so why was he sad? But he also knew in his heart that there were many things that were beyond their reach even if he told his parents.

It will only increase their troubles.

Solving one's own problems is of no help. In the end, these difficulties can only be overcome by oneself. So he pretended to be relaxed and played his Tai Chi, and digressed into other topics in a few words. After chatting for a few minutes, he urged

Dong's mother and father, who couldn't stay up late, went to rest.

Dong Qiangqiang, who had learned the lesson from the previous day, previewed the content of the afternoon lecture in advance, but what he did not expect was that the afternoon session on International Economics Theory and Practice would be harder than yesterday.

Compared with yesterday's teacher, today's teacher not only has no accent, but also has extremely standard pronunciation, with no faults to be found. The only "shortcoming" is that the teacher speaks very fast, which may be normal or slightly fast for Germans.

Speed, but to Dong Qiangqiang's ears, the other person spoke faster than his most awkward political science teacher in the preparatory school, almost comparable to a newscaster on TV.

"Is this a normal speaking speed?" He frowned and looked around, seeing that the German students around him were also busy writing with their heads full of lawsuits.

If the other person just speaks fast, he is actually not too panicked. But the problem is that he has never been exposed to this course in China or in the preparatory course, and his professional background is almost blank. The teacher's lecture notes are exactly the opposite of the economics lecture notes: there are few words in the pictures.

Most of the time, I mainly relied on listening and memorizing. Dong Qiangqiang left home in a hurry and didn’t bring a recorder. He was too embarrassed to open his mouth and ask the foreigners next to him (it seemed that the people next to him were not better than him), so he had to bite the bullet.

Crazy record.

After two hours, he took terrible notes and didn’t understand even 40% of the content (he just took notes casually). He was so depressed that he couldn’t shamelessly ask the teacher, and he didn’t want to borrow notes from someone he didn’t know (regardless of whether the other person was the teacher or not).

Chinese), and did not want to complain to Du Lan, and Zheng Chunhua did not return his calls in the past few days, probably because she was busy with her own business or forgot about calling him. After thinking about it, he refused to admit defeat and stabbed him again.

Go into the library.

But this course was not a bit more difficult than yesterday's macroeconomics. Dong Qiangqiang could feel the difficulty of reading the book. He could only hope that God would reward his hard work and that hard work would make up for his weakness.

When he came out of the library, having only been looking for and reading books without eating dinner, it was already a cool night outside, with stars dotted all over him. His heart was pressed against his back from hunger, and his legs were uncontrollably fluttering when he walked.

The road smelled like a ladder, so I didn't dare to drive rashly, so I ordered a Turkish BBQ set meal with a generous portion from the Turkish BBQ restaurant next to the parking lot and ate it to my heart's content.

After auditing two classes, especially after realizing the difficulty of today's class, Dong Qiangqiang became more and more aware: It was not necessarily a bad thing that the old lady did not let him install a network at home. With the network, he might be easily addicted to other things and neglect to study.

He can study at school every day and study in the library

The hotel has Internet access, so there is no need to get into a fight with the old lady over this matter. But if he leaves because of the Internet issue and looks for another apartment, he will have no energy and will have to spend more on rent every month than he does now. The gain outweighs the loss, so it is better to overcome it.

Let’s wait until we get on better terms with the old lady later.

After thinking about it, Dong Qiangqiang finally had the courage to apologize. When he got home, he found that the old lady had already turned off the lights and had a rest. He had to tiptoe back to his room to continue reading.

October 3rd is Germany’s National Day, and the country has a one-day holiday.

With the fall of the Berlin Wall, the history of Germany's division after World War II completely ended. On October 3, 1990, East and West Germany were unified into the Federal Republic of Germany. Unification Day naturally became Germany's National Day.

German holidays usually take place on the official day, and there is no such thing as a day off, so I took one day off. When Dong Qiangqiang got up early in the morning, he formally apologized to the old lady, admitting that he had expressed inappropriately yesterday, and hoped that the other party would not mind.

The old lady accepted his apology, but didn't say much. She just asked Dong Qiangqiang to read the newspaper she chose.

After reading and chatting, Dong Qiangqiang was about to go for a walk in the city center to see if there were any activities or parades related to the German National Day, when the old lady took the initiative to stop him.

"What are your plans for the morning?"

"Oh, I want to go to the city center later to see if there are any activities, and then go to the university to read in the afternoon. Are you okay?"

"I haven't cleaned up the backyard for a while. Can you help me clean it up? The firewood stack is empty and needs to be filled with firewood. The lawn needs to be neatly trimmed with a lawn mower. It is best to clean up the fallen leaves under the trees.

Let them rot naturally and become fertilizer for the tree. If there are too many weeds, they need to be pulled out. If you can do it, I will give you a job list later. Of course, this is paid labor. 40 euros an hour. Do you have time?"

"Yes! I have time." Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly agreed. He was willing to do it even if the other party didn't pay. It's always a good thing to ease the relationship. Besides, 40 euros an hour is really too rich. Two hours of working like this is equivalent to every month.

It seemed that the old lady was not angry with him. But after a second thought, he had a new doubt: Why is her house still empty despite such a good thing? Is it because she is not allowed to install the Internet?
