1630 The happiness of the rich the poor do not understand
At six o'clock in the morning, Erwin, the dean of the Department of Physics at the University of Berlin, was awakened by the noise outside the window. Erwin got up angrily and opened the curtains. On the road not far away, several students were posting a notice. Erwin turned around.
I found my glasses and put them on. The notice said that there would be a speech by the new German Chancellor in the auditorium in the morning. I hope that people who are interested in politics can attend.
Erwin's expression was serious, and his girlfriend Hilde was begging beside him.
"Erwin, please, leave them alone. My children and I can't live without you." Hilde looked nervous. She was not Erwin's wife. Erwin's wife was someone else.
The 40-year-old Erwin is charming and suave. There is a famous saying from the University of Berlin: No woman can refuse Erwin's bow tie.
This sentence fully proves Erwin's charm. He is handsome, graceful, courteous to ladies, and welcomes all who come.
Hilde was originally the wife of Erwin's assistant. Erwin fell in love with Hilde at first sight after seeing Hilde, so he started a crazy pursuit of Hilde. The love letter is written as a novel now.
Erwin was not only handsome, but also versatile. He was proficient in color theory, philosophy, language, mathematics, physics, and even religion. His love poems were especially exquisite. Few women could resist Erwin's pursuit. Hilde
No exception.
A year later, Hilde became pregnant with Erwin's child, lived in Erwin's house, and lived peacefully with Erwin's wife Anne.
Just like a person drinking water, he knows whether it is hot or cold. Erwin's wife Anne said: You know it is easy to get along with the canary, but I would rather choose the wild horse.
Mustang is in a complicated mood now. The small flaws in life cannot cover up Erwin's academic achievements. Although the current Berlin University, after Mustache became the German Chancellor, is very different from the Berlin University in Erwin's memory.
Wen still hopes to fulfill his duties as head of the physics department.
"They are still students and should study in the classroom," Erwin muttered to himself, but there was nothing he could do.
"Please Erwin, you are no longer the head of the physics department, don't get into trouble." Hilde tugged on Erwin's sleeve, lest Erwin make a mistake.
A few days ago, someone at the University of Berlin suggested that Erwin be dismissed from his post on the grounds that Erwin was a Hebrew.
After Mustache became the German Chancellor, the situation of the Hebrews in Germany became increasingly difficult. This is also a European habit. No matter which country it is, as long as the domestic conflicts become more acute, ostracizing the Hebrews will always be regarded as a way to divert the conflicts.
The best way.
We will not discuss the reasons for this here, only the facts. As the dean of the Department of Physics at the University of Berlin, Erwin is inevitably affected. Although there is no official document yet, it is estimated that Erwin’s director will not be able to do the job.
A few days.
"I know, I know, I am no longer the head of the physics department at the University of Berlin." Erwin looked lonely and felt desolate, as if all his energy and energy had been drained away.
At this time Erwin's real wife Anne came over.
"Erwin, there is no rice at home, we need money." Anne had no choice but to make a living without rice. Although Erwin held a high position, he had a large family to support, so the burden was really heavy.
It's not heavy. In addition to his own children and wife, Erwin also has other people's children and wives to support. The burden is indeed heavy.
"I will find a way." Erwin tried his best to squeeze out a smile. No matter how difficult life is, he must face it with a smile.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Erwin walked out of the house on time. As long as the official documents did not come down, Erwin would assume the responsibility of the chairman of the physics department.
Most of Erwin's neighbors are faculty members of the University of Berlin.
Different from the enthusiasm in the past, Erwin's colleagues no longer greet Erwin as enthusiastically as before and whisper evasively when they see Erwin. Erwin can't help but hear some not-so-good remarks.
Erwin has always ignored these remarks. Life is like this. Stocks are still chasing ups and downs. Erwin's future is uncertain now, and wise people will take the initiative to stay away from Erwin.
On the way to the office, several students walking in front of Erwin were discussing happily.
They were not discussing courses, but auditoriums and mustaches, and how to lead Germany out of the economic crisis.
This made Erwin a little confused. Shouldn't discussing politics or economics be a course for students in the School of Economics? When did students in the School of Physics become so keen on participating in politics?
At this time, the students finally noticed Erwin and remained silent. Only one student was bold enough to look at Erwin with disdain or even anger.
"You should go to class now." Erwin did not forget Hilde's plea, let alone his own responsibility.
"It is our freedom to attend parties!" The students with angry eyes spoke loudly. This was impossible to do before.
The University of Berlin pays great attention to the respect of seniority and inferiority, and the concept of hierarchy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the past, no student had dared to confront the professor in front of him.
"Your task now is to study." Erwin did not give up. School is a holy place of knowledge and should not be mixed with too many other factors.
"No, our mission is to make Germany greater!" The students were obviously more pursuing than Erwin.
"If you want to make Germany greater, you need more than just shouting slogans." Erwin was heartbroken. Didn't the head of state walk into the Chancellery just shouting slogans?
"Germany lost the World War because of people like you," the student said righteously. He probably didn't know that Erwin also participated in the World War.
During the World War, Erwin served at a remote artillery fort.
Even while serving in the military, Erwin still found time to study theoretical physics in his spare time. After the war, Erwin returned to the Second Institute of Physics to continue his research work. The year before last, Erwin became the chairman of the Department of Physics at the University of Berlin.
Looking at the excited students in front of him, Erwin closed his eyes in pain, and the world suddenly fell into darkness.
Walking into the office in a daze, Erwin's assistant hesitated to speak when he opened the door.
"Has the document come down?" Erwin's mood was swinging. He wanted to see the official document of dismissal from his post, but he didn't want to see it.
The hope is that as long as the official documents are issued, Erwin can get rid of everything in front of him and no longer have worries. From now on, even if he wanders around the world, he will probably be followed by Anne and Hilde.
The reason for not wishing to do so is also very simple. Don’t doubt Erwin’s feelings for the University of Berlin. After all, Erwin also vowed to fight for the University of Berlin throughout his life.
"Not yet, sir." The assistant made a mistake. He already tacitly acknowledged that the document would come out sooner or later.
Erwin smiled and didn't worry about it. He walked into the office and took off his coat. The collar of the old gray shirt was white and the cuffs were frayed and off-line. If you look carefully, the threads used to sew the buttons are different colors.
"You have a letter from Professor Heslin at the University of Nyasaland in Southern Africa," the assistant reminded carefully.
"Thank you, this is the only good news in two months." Erwin's spirit is high. Erwin is loyal, but not stupid. If Germany needs Erwin, Erwin will contribute everything to Germany. If
Germany does not need it. Erwin hopes that Germany can give him the opportunity to choose freely.
What to choose?
Of course leave
Or death!
Erwin and Professor Heslin were old friends. Looking at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, Erwin couldn't help but feel excited.
But Erwin was not busy opening it. The stamp on the envelope was the image of the gate of the University of Nyasaland. This was a commemorative stamp specially issued by the Nyasaland State Government for the University of Nyasaland. Erwin took a deep look at it solemnly.
At the solemn gate of Nyasaland University, I carefully opened the envelope with a paper knife.
The letter was folded carefully, and when it was opened, there were five one-hundred-rand notes inside, which made Erwin's eyes wet immediately.
Five hundred rand, before the economic crisis, was Erwin's entire income for a year.
After the economic crisis broke out, the rand remained strong. Five hundred rand, if saved a little, would be enough to cover the living expenses of Erwin's family for two years.
Erwin first folded the money and put it in his pocket, then opened it with excitement.
"Dear Erwin, forgive me for taking so long to reply to you, because I am not sure whether this letter will bring you hope or disaster." Heslin's handwriting was sonorous and powerful, just like Heslin himself,
No matter how bad the environment is, Heslin will face it bravely.
"I have a good time at the University of Nyasaland. It is an excellent university. It is by no means inferior to the foundation and academic atmosphere of the University of Berlin. I even believe that in the near future, the University of Nyasaland will become, or has already been...
Become the best university in the world, believe me, Nyasaland University has everything you hope for." Heslin's letter made Elwin filled with emotion.
academic climate
The University of Berlin did have one in the past, but now
Thinking of the angry-eyed students on the street just now, Erwin was neither sad nor happy.
Perhaps the University of Berlin is still excellent, but it no longer needs Erwin.
"I sent you an invitation a long time ago. At that time, you firmly told me that you would devote your life to Germany. Your words made me ashamed, because I was once so determined, and in the end I chose a shameful escape, didn't I?
We once despised those who had the will to escape, and now I am among them, becoming the person I once hated the most." The handwriting is a little distorted here, and Erwin can imagine that under the dim light, Heslin shed tears.
, wrote this letter with trembling handwriting
Stop it!
Don't be sensational, Heslin is now the winner of the Star Award. He can live a happy life with the bonus alone, and the lights are dim.
Don't move yourself. Poor people don't understand the happiness of rich people.
No, it's Heslin's happiness, which Erwin doesn't understand at all.
ps: The last chapter is a transitional chapter. You can order it or not. It’s too late to say now. Don’t scold me, brothers.
