Chapter 401 Chinese Gathering (Revised)

Su Mo was relieved to know that she didn't get into big trouble, because she didn't expect to have to fight with others later.

The relieved Su Mo didn't know that their behavior was noticed by the people in the apartment building not far away. Although she only kicked twice, her clean and neat skills still aroused the interest of that person.

After returning to the dormitory, Qiao Huaqing immediately hugged Su Mo and yelled, "Sister Su, you are so awesome. I declare that you are now the person I admire the most. I want to look up to you and learn from you."

"Paul and David looked at us with contempt at first. When they left just now, there was admiration in their eyes. Sister Su, you make us proud."

"The strong prey on the weak, this is the rule of the jungle, and it is the same in national issues. The people of a strong country will have a natural arrogance in front of the people of a weak country. This arrogance is given by the country. Although our country has a glorious history, at present, we are indeed inferior to others. Our leaders have also realized this, so they sent us out to study."

Su Mo seized the opportunity to instill patriotic ideas in the two people. There was no other way. When she came here, Teacher Gu asked her to help look after these two people and do ideological work for them from time to time, so as not to be corrupted by the luxurious life of capitalism. If they did not return to their country after learning, it would be troublesome.

"We are entrusted by our motherland, so we must study hard when we get out. After we go back, we must feed back the advanced concepts and knowledge we have learned to the country and society, and contribute to building a better motherland, so that the people of our country can one day be proud in front of these people."

"I believe that after the concerted efforts of our generation, one day, our country will definitely have more cars than here, more skyscrapers, more luxurious airports, and a richer life..."

Qiao Huaqing was so excited by what Su Mo said, and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Sister Su, I will. I will go to study now and not waste a single moment."

After that, Qiao Huaqing went back to his room to read the professional books borrowed from the library.

After Su Mo and the other two came, they chose different majors. Su Mo chose business economics, Pei Minghui chose the automotive industry, and Qiao Huaqing chose sociology.

Seeing Qiao Huaqing go back to his room to read, Pei Minghui also went back to his room.

Su Mo's performance today was really beyond his expectations. He knew that Su Mo had a high position in the Foreign Trade Center before, but he didn't expect her to be so outstanding.

There is still a big gap between him and her, and he needs to continue to work hard.

From then on, the three continued to read books on related majors in the library. The direction they chose was decided before going abroad, and they also self-studied some related books in China. But there are many differences in the teaching courses of the two countries, and they will have to make up for them after class.

Teacher Felix used his connections to find them relevant teachers, and arranged a morning of Q&A time for them every three days.

The three-person dormitory, cafeteria, and library were a straight line. More than half a month passed like this, and it was the end of September.

School started in October, and students had begun to return to school one after another.

They were arranged to study with sophomores. In order to make them better integrated, the school no longer let the three of them live together, but separated them and arranged them in dormitories for local students of the same major.

The dormitory has four people in a room. Su Mo's roommates had already received a notice that an exchange student from China would come to live with them. The three of them came to the dormitory early, and after Su Mo came, they even arranged a small welcome ceremony for her.

The three roommates are named Hannah, Mia, and Nale.

The three of them all had typical German looks, with distinct facial features, big eyes, high nose bridges, and were all quite tall, all over 170cm. Fortunately, Sumo was quite tall, and she looked quite harmonious standing among them.

The three of them had originally been worried that someone who didn't speak the language would be hard to communicate with, but they were relieved to see that Sumo spoke fluent German and seemed easy to get along with.

When the school arranged for someone to come over, they reminded them to take good care of this exchange student roommate, after all, it was about the reputation of their Federal Republic of Germany.

Before Sumo came, they also learned a little about China. They were also very curious about this country that once caused a sensation in the world but later fell silent. Unfortunately, there was too little information about China.

China, which had not yet opened up, had very little contact with other countries. Chinese people could not go out, and others could not come in. Many people only knew that there was such a country, and they didn't know anything else. In their eyes, it was a very mysterious country.

Now that there was such an exchange student, the three asked Su Mo a lot of questions, and Su Mo also introduced them seriously and tried her best to promote her country.

Su Mo was good at speaking and had a solid knowledge of history. She talked for a whole morning without realizing it. The three people were deeply impressed by Su Mo's promotion of China. From then on, when talking about Asian countries, their first reaction was China, not Japan.

At noon, the four of them went to the 8-dollar buffet restaurant for a meal to celebrate the joining of Su Mo, their new roommate.

In the afternoon, everyone went to their own activities.

In the afternoon, Teacher Gu came from Bonn and gave Su Mo and the other two living expenses for the next month. He also asked them to open a bank account, and the living expenses would be deposited into their bank accounts on time.

At the same time, he also brought good news. Someone from the embassy would be returning to China next month, so he asked them to write a letter to their families. He would take it to the embassy and ask the people at the embassy to take it back to Beijing to mail it for them.

There are currently no direct flights between Germany and China, so it is very troublesome to send a letter back to China. You have to go to another country first and then forward it. The letters are very easy to get lost, and it takes a long time.

After Su Mo and the others came, they only reported their safety to Beijing through the embassy, ​​and they had no contact with their families.

The three of them were naturally happy to be able to write letters, so they quickly wrote a thick letter and asked Teacher Gu to take it.

*****

School started in a blink of an eye, and the three of them were immersed in their busy studies. But they still agreed to have dinner together every three days to share their learning achievements and to talk about any difficulties so that they could work together to find solutions.

Although they had studied German for two years in China, they still didn't understand a lot of professional vocabulary. In addition to the language difficulties to overcome, they also had to master professional knowledge.

Fortunately, West Germany began to implement a two-day weekend system in 1963, and the university courses here were not as intensive as those in China. Basically, there were only half a day of classes a day.

They could make up for this lack of foundation on weekends and time without classes.

The three of them got up early and studied late every day, forgetting to eat and sleep.

Su Mo's roommates were very impressed to see her reading even while eating, and their understanding of the Chinese people's hard work and perseverance was raised to a new level.

At the end of October, Song Pingzhi came to see Su Mo and told her that there would be a Chinese gathering on Sunday. Everyone knew that there were Chinese students coming, and they wanted to get to know them and hoped that they could attend.

He asked Su Mo to tell the other two people.

Su Mo came here to learn knowledge and to expand her network, so she naturally agreed. But she also made it clear that she would attend, but she couldn't guarantee the other two.

When the three of them had dinner together, Su Mo told them about the gathering. Pei Minghui and Qiao Huaqing also wanted to get to know some Chinese friends abroad, so they readily agreed.

The gathering was held in a large commercial district several bus stops away from the school, and a restaurant was booked. When the three arrived, there were already quite a few people inside. The men were wearing suits and the women were wearing decent skirts, looking quite formal.

In late October, the average temperature in Munich was between 5 and 13 degrees Celsius, and the chill was still quite noticeable. The three wore tweed coats when they went out.

As soon as the three entered, they attracted most of the attention. Song Pingzhi had been waiting for them. When he saw them coming, he hurried over to greet them.

After the waiter guided them to hang up their coats, Song Pingzhi took them to introduce them to everyone.

Some of these people immigrated to Germany, some came from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia to study, and some immigrated to other countries to study here. In short, there were no locals.

Therefore, Su Mo and the other two were very strange.

Although everyone greeted them warmly, their eyes were mostly curious. There were even some people from Taiwan who were coming with a hint of provocation. After all, they were still dreaming of a counterattack.

Qiao Huaqing was young after all, and being stared at by so many people made him very nervous. He followed Su Mo closely, trying not to show his weakness, so as not to lose face for the country.

After the introduction, Song Pingzhi led Pei Minghui to the men's side to chat. Su Mo and Qiao Huaqing were also surrounded by a group of ladies, asking all kinds of questions.

Most of them asked about the current situation in the country. Some people wanted to inquire about their relatives and ask if they had any solutions. More people wanted to know when they could go back to visit their relatives.

Su Mo and Qiao Huaqing picked out some of the questions they could answer, and as for some policy-related questions, they asked them to pay attention to news reports.

But they also revealed that the country has the idea of ​​reform and opening up, and it is estimated that these things will be implemented soon.

Many people came to this gathering just for Su Mo and the others. After all, in recent years, it is basically impossible to find out about the situation in the country. It is rare for people to hear something about the situation.

Although after the establishment of diplomatic relations with West Germany in 1972, the country also sent several international students to study in West Germany. But the situation before was special. The words and deeds of those students who came were strictly controlled by the embassy, ​​unlike the group of Su Mo and others who were so free.

The three of them answered questions for an entire afternoon, and they were so dry-mouthed.

After satisfying everyone's curiosity, Su Mo took the opportunity to get something to eat.

As soon as she reached the snack area, she caught a glimpse of two tall men in suits coming in. Su Mo didn't pay much attention at first, but one of them looked familiar, so she turned around to take a look.

This time, she was shocked to see her family.

Song Pingzhi saw the two people coming in and stood up to greet them.

"Brother, Brother Su, why are you here?"

His brother never participated in the gatherings of young people organized by him, so why did he come today?

"Your brother Su is here to look for someone." Song Jinzhi said.

"Who? I..." Song Pingzhi was about to ask who he was looking for so that he could help find him, but he saw Su Jing walking towards the dining area.

As the two of them looked over, a strange look flashed across Song Jinzhi's eyes.

It was her, the lady with agile skills that day.

After seeing her that day, he had planned to have his men investigate. There are not many Asian women with good looks and skills these days. Suddenly one appeared in his territory, and he couldn't help but pay attention. Don't tell me

that she is a chess piece planted by someone with ulterior motives, so you have to be on guard in advance.

Unfortunately, something urgent happened at that time, and he was in a hurry to deal with it, so he didn't have time to make arrangements.

I didn't expect to run into her just after I came back today, what a coincidence.

"Second cousin, why are you here?" Su Mo was very surprised. She really didn't expect to meet Su Jing in Germany.

"When I attended the exhibition, I heard from my younger cousin that you were studying abroad at the University of Munich. It happened that I had something to come here for, so I came to see you by the way." Su Jing said.

"How are you? Are you getting used to it?"

"Not bad, I can adapt." Su Mo smiled. Meeting relatives in a strange country, my heart is really warm and happy.

At this time, Song Jinzhi also came over, "Su Jing, would you like to introduce me?"

Su Jing glanced at him, "This is my cousin, Su Mo. Xiaomo, this is my friend, Song Jinzhi."

"Hello!" The two greeted each other.

Song Pingzhi on the side was very surprised: "I never thought that Su Mo, you are actually Brother Su Jing's cousin." Then they can be considered old friends.

The Su family and the Song family have been old friends for generations, but the head of the Song family left the country early and gradually cut off contact with the mainland.

Someone from the Song family stayed here in the early years. After the family came out, they worked hard here for a while and gradually gained control of some of the Chinese gangs here. They had close ties with the Chinese gangs in the United States, and there were often businesses between the two countries.

After Su Zhongqing and others immigrated, the two families got in touch and helped each other. The contact has never been broken.

"The Song family and our family are family friends. If anything happens to you, go to Pingzhi and he will help you solve it." Su Jing said, and then told Song Pingzhi, "Pingzhi, this is my little sister. You should take more care of her."

"This is natural, Brother Su, don't worry." Song Pingzhi quickly expressed his stance.

It was getting late at this time, and people began to leave one after another. Su Jing asked Su Mo: "Do you have anything to do tonight? If not, let's have dinner together and I'll take you to have Chinese food."

Su Mo hadn't eaten Chinese food for so long since she left home. She really missed it. In addition, Su Jing came here specially to see her. Su Mo guessed that he might have something to talk to her about, so she agreed.

"Okay, I'll go tell my classmates." Su Mo said as she prepared to go and tell Qiao Huaqing and the others.

"Okay, don't worry, take your time. There's plenty of time. Jinzhi and I will wait for you in the car outside."

Su Mo nodded and went to find Qiao Huaqing and Pei Minghui.

Qiao Huaqing and two men went directly to find Su Mo. Judging from Song Pingzhi's attitude, he seemed to be a very important person. She was a little nervous, thinking something had happened.

Seeing her coming, he asked nervously, "Sister Su, what happened?"

When she came out, her grandfather repeatedly told her to be careful when she was outside. Could it be that he didn't allow her to attend such a party?

"Nothing, that was my cousin just now." Su Mo said, "He has something to ask me. You and Minghui go back first, and I'll go back later."

Qiao Huaqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, then you should be careful."

Su Mo went to talk to Pei Minghui again, took her coat, and went out.
