Seven Crowns

After everything was ready, on January 25, 2009, the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Wenbin drove his Mercedes-Benz S600, the trunk and back seat full of gifts, and headed east under the command of Kate. .

In the car, Kate revealed that her home is in a town in Neumarkt County, Upper Palatinate, Bavaria, east of Sinsheim. .

Kate's full name is Kate Biddle, and Biddle is her family name.

Her father, Armand Biddle, is the mayor of Dietfort, her mother, Marie Biddle, the owner and chief designer of a mid-range architectural design firm in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, and her younger brother Milo Biddle, who studies at a high school in Munich. .

Therefore, the Kate family is considered a rich family, but it is not a very rich family. At least Lu Wenbin, who is now a big star, earns no less than Kate's mother Mary every year.

If Lu Wenbin can really lead Hoffenheim to win the Bundesliga championship, the salary increase and commercial endorsements will come in succession, and the income will exceed the Kate family.

This made Lu Wenbin breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Lu Wenbin had never heard of Dietford, nor had any impression.

Kate didn't give him any further introduction, just told Lu Wenbin that he would be surprised when he got to Dietfort.

There are no speed limits on the German Autobahn, and in less than two hours, the two turned south after passing Nuremberg and got off the motorway at an exit near Dietfurt.

After exiting the expressway, Kate asked Lu Wenbin to park on the side of the road, change seats, and let her drive.

Because she was afraid that Lu Wenbin would be distracted and unable to concentrate on driving after entering Dietfort later.

Lu Wenbin gave up the driver's seat to Kate in confusion, not understanding that there was anything in Dietford that would distract him.

Could it be that Dietfort is a beautiful tourist town with beautiful scenery?

Kate did not answer Lu Wenbin and continued to keep it mysterious.

After driving on the Neumarkt County Road for more than ten minutes, when the car was about to enter the town of Dietford, where Kate's house is located, Lu Wenbin was startled by a stone tablet at the entrance of the town.

I saw a stone tablet several meters high standing at the entrance of the town, which clearly marked the latitude and longitude of Dietfort and Beijing in Chinese and German.

And it is engraved with a large font that "Dieterford is 7698km from Beijing Tiananmen Square".

Lu Wenbin pointed at the stele in surprise and asked Kate, "What's going on?"

Kate smiled and said, "It's literally 7698km away from Tiananmen Square in Beijing!"

Lu Wenbin waved his hands again and again and said, "No, no, I'm asking why you erected such a stone monument, and also marked the distance in Chinese and German. Does it have any special significance?"

Kate laughed: "The meaning is to tell the town and everyone who comes to Dietfort, it is 7698km from our capital!"

Lu Wenbin was dumbfounded and said dumbly, "Your capital?"

Kate nodded and said, "Yes, we are Chinese in Bavaria! So, Beijing is our capital!"

Lu Wenbin looked at the stone tablet and then at Kate, who was smiling, and couldn't tell whether Kate was telling the truth or a lie.

But such a stone tablet suddenly appeared on German soil, which made Lu Wenbin feel really incredible.

Next, Kate drove the car slowly into the town, and Lu Wenbin was so shocked that he was speechless.

There are lanterns and colorful flags with Chinese characteristics hanging on the roofs of roadside houses, with Chinese dragons painted on them, or simply five-star red flags.

The restaurant sign is written in Chinese, not German. Customers eating in restaurants use chopsticks instead of knives and forks.

There are also many people sticking blessing characters and Spring Festival couplets on doors and windows. Children wear Chinese-style jackets and run around on both sides of the street. Adults also wear all kinds of festive blessing robes, cheongsam and so on.

Many colorful flags and banners on the streets and alleys read in Chinese: "Hi, Chinese!", "Chinese, hello!", "Happy New Year!" and so on.

A thick Chinese town welcomes New Year's Eve and Spring Festival.

However, Lu Wenbin clearly saw that all the people in the town were Germans, and hardly a single Chinese was seen.

Kate opened her car window and greeted pedestrians on the road in Chinese, not German.

When someone saw Lu Wenbin in the co-pilot, they greeted Lu Wenbin in fluent or broken Chinese with a cheerful look: "Hi, Chinese, hello!"

Lu Wenbin replied stupidly: "Hello, hello!"

Kate told Lu Wenbin that the official language of this town is Chinese. Although some people say it is not standard or even can't speak it, they are proud of being able to speak Chinese and be fluent in Chinese.

When passing through a place that looked like a government office building, there was also a statue of a Qing Dynasty official with a mustache at the door, standing in front of the government office building, watching the pedestrians coming and going.

Lu Wenbin also saw two Chinese culture museums and a Chinese school with slogans written in Chinese.

After the huge shock, Lu Wenbin felt a deep sense of intimacy.

Although a lot of things here are out of shape, it is certainly not as authentic as a real Chinese town.

But in Europe and Germany, Lu Wenbin felt extremely excited to see such a town full of strong Chinese style, and to be able to spend the Spring Festival in such a small town.

After Kate parked the car in front of a villa not far from the town government office building, a couple and a boy about 16 years old heard the sound of the car coming out of the villa.

After Lu Wenbin got off from the co-pilot, the boy's eyes lit up and rushed towards Lu Wenbin, shouting in broken Chinese while running, "Wow, Lu, brother-in-law, my idol!"

Then, after running close, he took a leap and threw himself on Lu Wenbin.

Lu Wenbin hugged him and said with a smile, "Hello, you must be Milo?"

Milo nodded fiercely and said: "Welcome to my house for the Chinese New Year, Lu! You play football so well, I was originally a Bayern fan, but now I'm a Hoffenheim fan and your fan, and Many of my classmates have changed sides with me and supported Hoffenheim!"

Lu Wenbin put Milo down and said with a smile, "Thank you!"

At this time, Kate got off the main driver, pulled Lu Wenbin and said, "Let's go, I'll introduce my parents to you!"

Lu Wenbin followed Kate to the door of the villa, Milo followed.

Walking to the smiling couple Armand and Mary at the entrance of the villa, Kate introduced them to both, Lu Wenbin said hello to them, Armand and Mary also welcomed Lu Wenbin in fluent Chinese.

Afterwards, Armand and Mary greeted Lu Wenbin into the house, but Lu Wenbin said that there were many gifts in the car.

Then, Lu Wenbin, Kate, and Milo returned to the car and brought out the large and small bags of gifts.

Although Armand and Mary said polite words, their faces were full of smiles, and they felt very satisfied with Lu Wenbin, her daughter's boyfriend.
