Chapter 436 Snowman Building Competition
If there is any difference between the Chinese and the people here, one thing is very obvious.
In this environment, if the Chinese were to shovel snow together to save themselves, the first thing they would consider would be "self-rescue", but here most people choose to wait.
The snow was so thick that many car doors couldn't be opened, but they still sat in their cars as if nothing had happened.
They felt that the government couldn't just ignore them. Didn't they see someone delivering food and mineral water to them early in the morning? Then, looking at Xiao Peng shoveling snow, they thought he was an idiot!
The most important thing is: Fabian and the others saw them leaving with the police. In their eyes, Xiao Peng was just a butler who stayed behind to look after the car. Seeing Xiao Peng shoveling snow with a large shovel, this must be a job assigned to him by the car owner.
Especially Xiao Peng was wearing Walter's clothes, which were one size too big and made him look like a penguin. Maybe they would have considered saving themselves, but when they saw Xiao Peng like this, they gave up the idea. They always felt that shoveling snow with Xiao Peng was a cheap act.
Xiao Peng ignored them and built a snowman by himself. However, building a snowman was not enough for him. He started to build a castle with snow as if he was playing sand sculpture on the beach. He even built a "Sphinx" on the roof of the car. After working for a long time, Xiao Peng's car was surrounded by various snow sculptures.
Seeing Xiao Peng building a snowman piqued everyone's interest. Since everyone was bored, some people came to borrow shovels from Xiao Peng and started building their own snowmen, while others even rolled snowballs with their hands. For a moment, the entire highway was filled with people building snowmen. Later, it became a snowman-building competition: everyone competed to see whose snowman was the most beautiful and creative!
At this time, Xiao Peng had already hidden his achievements and fame, and ran to the car to drink coffee to warm himself.
Xiao Peng was delighted to see people building snowmen outside their cars. People were so mean, they didn't even bother to clear the snow, but they had a blast building them. And some of the people in the crowd were quite amusing: they took photos of the snowmen with their phones and then wandered around holding their phones.
What are they doing? Looking for the Internet!
In France, the mobile network crashed when I went to the suburbs, but I could still get a 3G connection most of the time. But in Germany? Haha.
Germans themselves joke that only North Korea's internet is worse than theirs! 4G is only available in major cities; in smaller towns, there's no 4G at all, and cell phone signals are stuck at two bars. This is how cell phone signal was only available in the subways of major cities after Huawei entered Europe a few years ago. Nowadays, most cafes, bars, and other places in Germany don't offer Wi-Fi. Trying to get online on a highway like this? Just wait and see.
They discovered something strange: there was a Wi-Fi connection with a strong signal, but it had a password. They were all curious about how there could be Wi-Fi in such a place. Xiao Peng found it funny to see them questioning each other.
Where does the Wi-Fi come from? Don't you see which car is the most expensive here?
Xiao Peng was so happy while posting photos of the "Snowman Competition" online!
What is happiness? Everyone took photos, I can post them online but you can’t, that’s happiness!
However, because of this "snowman-making" competition, the snow that would have taken three to five days to clear had almost been cleared by the time Fabian returned - there were countless snowmen here.
"Is Tom's head okay?" Xiao Peng asked Walter while looking at Tom wearing a big hat.
Walter shook his head. "It's okay. The doctor gave me three stitches. Just be careful. Tom, stop playing with snowmen!"
"Dad, help me take a photo with these snowmen!" Tom was obviously in good spirits. Look at this snowman, it's pretty. Look at that snowman, it's pretty too.
Xiao Peng coughed twice and said, "Tom, who said building a snowman is childish?"
Tom blinked. "It definitely wasn't me, Mr. Xiao. Please take a picture of me and this snowman. I want to send it to my classmates!"
Xiao Peng pointed at the roof of the car: "Then you should take a photo with that snowman!"
Everyone then realized there was a sphinx on the roof of the car. Even Fabian was anxious: "Help me take a picture! This snowman is so cool! We have a sphinx on top of our car! I was wondering why so many people were taking pictures of my car just now! I thought they liked my car, but it turns out they liked this big snowman. Xiao, did you do this?"
Xiao Peng looked very proud. "Of course! I'm telling you, I was really bored at David Beach, so I just played with sand. Look, I'm pretty good at it, right?"
Fabian scratched his head and said, "You're such a grown-up, but you're still building sand piles on the beach every day? Why does this sound like a sad story? There are so many bikini-clad ladies playing with sand, but you're not?"
Xiao Peng coughed twice: "There are children here, what nonsense are you talking about? Walter, you carry Tom, I will take a few photos for you as a souvenir, a family of three together! After the photo shoot, hurry back to the car, it's so cold outside and Tom is injured."
"Okay!"
After taking pictures outside for a long time, several people returned to the car. Walter looked outside and said happily, "It seems that the traffic jam won't last too long. This at least reduces the workload of clearing snow by two-thirds! Boss, it was your idea to lead everyone to build a snowman together, right? If these people could shovel snow together earlier, we could have gotten out earlier!"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "I was just making a snowman for fun. What can I do if they insist on imitating me?"
Fabian shook his head. "No, you must have thought they would imitate you in making snow."
Xiao Peng said, "If they insist on learning from me, what can I do? They might not accept the task of shoveling snow, but if you ask them to play along, they'll be happy to do it. That's human nature!"
Tom, who had just taken off his coat, frowned and asked, "Mr. Xiao, you keep talking about 'human nature'. What exactly is this 'human nature'?"
Xiao Peng smiled and replied, "Let me give you an analogy. If I give you ten yuan every day for a while, and if I don't give you one day, you will hate me. But if I slap you in the face every day, and if I don't slap you one day, you will be grateful to me. This is human nature! Just like your father's friend Bruch left me to go solo because of this. He doesn't think about what I gave him, he just thinks it's not enough."
Tom blinked. "Mr. Xiao, how about we do an experiment? You give me ten dollars a day for a while, and then suddenly stop giving it to me. See if I will hate you?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng pointed at Tom and said to Walter: "I'm sure now, his head is fine!"
