Chapter 421 Walter's Family
Walter was a thoughtful man. When he came back, he took into consideration the problem that Xiao Peng and the others had no clothes, and brought back a large bag of clothes from home.
"Boss, you will definitely buy clothes when the time comes. Before that, just wear mine. At least you won't catch a cold!" Walter said.
"It's too troublesome for you to bring back so many clothes!" Fabian said.
Walter smiled and said, “It’s not troublesome. It’s much easier than when I went back!”
He was not being polite when he said that. When he left, he carried the rubber boat on his back, but when he came back, he brought a small cart with him. He put the rubber boat and the package on the cart and pulled them back.
"I went to the supermarket and bought a cart. I removed the top and kept the four wheels. I wasn't tired at all when I pulled it." Walter said, "Boss, let me introduce you. This is my wife."
Xiao Peng said to Walter’s family standing at the car door: “Diane and Tom, right? Get in the car quickly. What are you doing standing at the door?”
He had known about Walter’s family for a long time, but it was just the first time he saw it.
Walter's wife and children are all standard Germans, with blonde hair and green eyes.
After staying in Europe for a long time, Xiao Peng also discovered some characteristics of Europeans. For example, he just came back from Eastern Europe. The Eastern Slavs there have been integrated with the nomadic peoples of Asia for a long time in history, so their appearance is more inclined to the Eastern aesthetic. They have delicate skin, fewer edges and corners on their faces, and soft features. Their eyes are mostly brown, and their hair is mostly brown or chestnut - with the exception of Ukraine, where girls especially like to dye their hair pure black.
This is why Orientals say there are many beautiful women in Eastern Europe.
The Germans, on the other hand, have more blond hair, green eyes, and more angular faces. Their skin is rougher than that of the Slavs, and many have freckles on their faces, just like Diane.
This is also thanks to the contribution of the Hungarian mustachioed leader of Germany during World War II.
Back then, the mustache created the biggest 'BUG' during World War II.
During World War II, the "Lebensborn" program, also known as "racial improvement," aimed to transform the entire population into "blonde, blue-eyed, tall, and tall Aryans." It even established "baby farms" where blonde girls were tasked with giving birth. The people most affected by this program were the Norwegians, whose preponderance of blonde hair, blue eyes, and tall stature strongly aligned with the then-contextualized image of the "superior Aryan race."
Herein lies the problem: Aryans and Germans have nothing to do with each other, if there is any relationship between them at all...
Well, their ancestors should all have come from the African continent.
The Aryans originated from nomadic tribes in the Ural Mountains, while the ancestors of the Germanic people originated from southern Sweden. They are not the same race at all. There may be factors of ethnic integration, but they are definitely not the same race.
What are real Aryans like?
Go to India and see! The Brahmins and Kshatriyas, two of the four major castes in ancient India, were essentially Aryans. Modern Tajiks also share a deep blood relationship with the Aryans. Iranian-Persian peoples have also long used the term "Aryan" to refer to themselves.
For example, the relief inscription of Darius the Great, the First Persian Empire, reads: I am Darius, the great king, king of kings, king of all nations, king of the vast earth, descendant of Hystaspes, of the line of Achaemenids, Persian, son of Persians, an Aryan of Aryan blood.
All in all, there really isn't much of a connection between Aryans and Germans. It's a bit confusing to think of a dark-haired Aryan as a German.
However, based on Xiao Peng's conclusions from reading the book, it's possible that Hu Zi was not unaware of this matter at the time, but rather deliberately engaged in it. After all, Hu Zi himself was not a blond, blue-eyed, so-called "Aryan." In those days, science was underdeveloped, and information sources were scarce. Anthropology was just beginning, and some people exploited it as a tool for "racism." Even if "Aryan" didn't exist, other names would have been packaged and used to promote theories of racial superiority and inferiority. They didn't need the truth; Hu Zi simply needed to launch a powerful propaganda campaign to suit their own needs. How could ordinary people have any judgment?
I believe whatever you say.
Xiao Peng asked Diane and Tom to get in the car, but Diane hesitated. She looked at the Persian carpet on the floor of the car and said, "Boss Xiao, I appreciate your care for Walter and your decision to invite us out to play, but look at us now. We are covered in mud and water. You have a carpet on the car..."
The Chinese do not have the habit of using carpets. They are difficult to clean and are considered "impractical" by most Chinese people. However, in the West, there is a strong carpet culture.
The most famous one is the Persian carpet. A handmade Persian carpet was sold at an auction in London, England for a sky-high price of nearly 10 million US dollars.
Of course, that carpet is not representative; it is an antique, but it also illustrates another point: in the West, Persian carpets are top collectibles.
The prices of top-quality handmade Persian carpets are staggering. Those so-called "masterpieces" can easily cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan. This is understandable, after all, weaving carpets is a very laborious task. A 6.5 square centimeter carpet requires thousands of stitches, and weaving a single carpet requires many people working simultaneously for years or even several years.
Even if the carpet in Fabian's car wasn't a masterpiece, it would still cost tens of thousands of euros! So Diane was a little hesitant when she saw this, not sure whether she should get in the car.
Xiao Peng saw this and said quickly, "Hurry up and get in the car! It's so cold, and you're standing outside in the rain. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? Carpets and other things are trivial matters. Walter will definitely tell you that I'm a wealthy man and don't care about these things at all. Well, the most important reason is that this car is not mine, but Fabian's. What you do has nothing to do with me! Get in, get in!"
He led Diane and Tom straight into the car.
"Are you Mr. Fabian Cousteau?" Diane said excitedly after seeing Fabian. "Thank you for introducing Walter to Mr. Xiao. Walter has thanked you many times."
Fabian smiled and said, "No need to thank me at all. The key is that Walter is very good at his job. Come up quickly. You can take a hot shower and change clothes first!"
"This is too much trouble..." Diane was still hesitating, but Tom saw the game screen on the LCD screen. His eyes lit up: "Battlefield 18? A classic game!"
Xiao Peng laughed: "Ah, little video game fan... No! Have you played Battlefield 18? That's not scientific!"
