"This is a leather coat from Germany. Grandpa, grandma, Uncle Jin, Aunt Wang, come on, these are the sizes Xiaomeng told me, a leather singlet, a fur coat, Zhanhongzhange's have already been put away by themselves, haha...
..." Chen Zhuo smiled and sent it to everyone.
Uncle Jin smiled and scolded: "Look, this brat, he gave away fur coats in June. Haha, you can tell at a glance that he is from abroad..."
"Gift it in the summer, wear it in the winter, it's warm from the dog days to the three-nine days..." Chen Zhuo smiled and continued to take it out and said: "Auntie, this is a Cologne stainless steel knife. It is famous all over the world. I have no chance to play in Cologne this year.
Competition, I asked someone to order it for me by mail from Cologne. I bought two sets. My aunt at home will try it when cooking. You can also use it when peeling fruit occasionally..."
"There are also perfumes, Auntie, I bought several sets, Paris perfume, and Cologne perfume, perfumes and essential oils..." Chen Zhuo opened a small box, Zhan Hong and Zhan Ge reached out to grab it, and Chen Zhuo slapped him
Open the war song's hand.
"Haha, how can I use it at my age? I can just give it to Xiaomeng and Zhan Hong..." After saying this, Xiaomeng's mother was still very happy, and her grandparents smiled and said nothing.
"Don't grab it, don't grab it..." Xiaomeng reached out and picked up all the small boxes, and said deliberately: "Brother, you bought so many perfumes and essential oils, then you have to buy us a small freezer, put them all in my place
…”
When Zhan Hong refused, Xiaomeng’s mother also laughed and said that Xiaomeng was overbearing.
"I bought this for my grandpa and Uncle Jin. I also kept a set for myself." Chen Zhuo took out a small box and opened it to look at a map. As a member of a military family, Chen Zhuo has been in the habit of reading maps since he was a child.
Later, when I was playing games in China, I liked to buy maps of the city and "Local Chronicles" introductions to every city I visited, just as a hobby.
The same goes for this trip to Europe. Every time he competes in a city, Chen Zhuo will mail a few postcards from the hotel to his home for his grandparents, Xiaomeng’s school, and Zhan Hongzhange’s school. Even in Mei
When transferring trains between St. Louis train station and Paris train station, Chen Zhuo took the time to complete the purchase and delivery of postcards.

In addition to buying city maps in Europe, Chen Zhuo went to Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Brussels in Belgium, Liège in Belgium, and London in the United Kingdom during the away game this time. During the transit, he passed through Metz in France and Paris in France. In addition to purchasing
In addition to the city maps of these cities, Chen Zhuo also purchased their national maps and their world maps published by National Geographic Publishing House.
The world map from the European perspective is different from that of China. For example, the United Kingdom, their map is from their perspective. The prime meridian running through London is the center of the world. Western Europe across the English Channel to the east is a close neighbor, and beyond that
East refers to Eastern Europe and Russia, which is called the "Near East"
"Area", further east is the West Asian Arab region and Egypt, which is called the "Middle East", and further east is the Indian Ocean, India, Pakistan and other South Asian subcontinent regions, as well as the west of China, which is called "East", and further east is eastern China.
In Japan, Southeast Asia is called the "Far East".
Looking west from the United Kingdom, across the Atlantic Ocean is the east coast of the United States. The reason why eastern areas such as New York and Washington have become the economic and political centers of the United States is because they face the United Kingdom and Europe across the Atlantic Ocean. From this perspective, it is not
It's hard to understand why California, San Francisco, and Los Angeles are called the "Wild West" because they are so far away from London and Europe.
During the trip and the sporadic time he spent in Europe, Chen Zhuo only found time to read one or two books in the past few months. Reading at least 30 books every year has been a habit he has developed since he was a child. Over the past 10 years, he has
Half a year is really too tight.
The book I read in the first half of the year was originally written in English. It is a classic geostrategic work called "The Geographic Pivot of History". In fact, Chen Zhuo read the Chinese version a few years ago. This time I read it in English in conjunction with my trip to Europe.
The original work has a different feeling.
In addition to gifts from relatives, Chen Zhuo also brought small gifts to the guards and orderlies of the two families, including wallets, belts and other imported leather goods for the male guards, chocolates, snacks and small handbags for the female orderlies and nannies.
Auntie, they actually asked Chen Zhuo to take a photo and ask for an autograph. Unexpectedly, the male and female soldiers, including the nanny aunt, were all star-struck.
The photos were taken by Zhan Hong. The Leica cameras brought back from Germany are also famous brands. Xiaomeng, Zhan Hong, and Zhan Ge each have one. Xiaomeng’s is an antique model for collection, Zhan Hong’s is a film SLR, and Zhan Ge’s is
DSLRs are all different.
Sending goose feathers thousands of miles away to repay a gift is light and friendship is heavy. What's more, Chen Zhuo is carefully selected. The family affection at the reunion moment is extremely warm.
(three)
During the reunion dinner, the issue of Chen Zhuo's permanent residence in Hong Kong was naturally mentioned, as well as his grandparents. It was possible that Zhan Hongzhange's residence rights could be resolved. His grandparents would not go, but the two old people did not stop Zhan Hong.
Hong Zhange brother and sister, but respect their own choices.
Ten-year-old Zhan Hong will be in sixth grade after this summer vacation, and six-year-old Zhan Ge will be in first grade after this summer vacation. It is not necessary for the two of them to go to Hong Kong now. In about three years, Zhan Hong, who is in the third grade of junior high school, can consider studying in Hong Kong.
High school, and then apply for overseas universities. Of course, if she still wants to enter a military academy to major in medical rescue, there is no need to go to Hong Kong.
Zhan Ge might consider going to Hong Kong. He has been studying and playing football since he was in elementary school. This little guy is quite interested in football. As for his talent, he just has a good feel for the ball now. The six-year-old has been playing wild football for more than a year and now he has won
He can bounce the small football back and forth more than 100 times. Among his peers, especially those who have not received systematic training, the football surname is already very good!
"There is also a kicking goal wall. I practice against the goal wall for at least half an hour every day..." Zhan Ge pulled Chen Zhuo and said, "Brother, teach me how to kick a ball at the party. I want to learn how you can score goals in the blind corner."
, 啕~~~~ And also, you hit the penalty spot with one kick, wow! So handsome!"
"Eat well!" Grandma smiled and scolded: "I play for half an hour and come back like a mud monkey every day. Zhan Song, I think you should share all your chocolates with Aunt Zhang and your sister.
, taking care of one of your children is more tiring than taking care of three children!"
Grandpa smiled and praised Zhan Hong and Zhan Ge: "Yes, thanks to Zhan Hong's understanding, but little Zhan Ge is very strong and brave. Sometimes he gets bruises on his hands and arms, and Zhan Hong helps him clean the wounds and apply medicine."
I've never seen him shed tears before! Come on, come on, eat this piece of fat, oh, good job, hahaha..."
In the end, the family meeting decided to postpone the process. After all, Chen Zhuo has been spending most of his time in Europe in the past few years. There is no one to take care of him whether he goes to Zhan Hong Zhan Song or one. Although Chen Zhuo has an agency to help him, there is a cultural gap after all.
, and there is no family affection, which is not necessarily a good thing for Zhan Hong Zhan Song who has lost his loved ones.
Regarding Chen Zhuo's personal issues and the relationship between Chen Zhuo and Xiaomeng, Uncle Jin and Chen Zhuo went to the study room to chat after dinner. Chen Zhuo "explained" everything that happened in the past few months.
Uncle Jin didn't say anything or express his position. He couldn't understand why Xiaomeng and the German girl had such a close relationship.
Xiaomeng also talked about this matter with her mother for a long time. Xiaomeng's mother was helpless. One generation cannot control the affairs of two generations. In the evening, Xiaomeng's mother discussed with Uncle Jin and the result was that from a practical point of view, Xiaomeng
He is about to graduate and be assigned to the army. It seems that Chen Zhuo still has at least a few years of adventure abroad, and now he has obtained permanent residence in Hong Kong. It seems that Xiaomeng and Chen Zhuo may have the same surname together. Basically
No more.
If he can't become a son-in-law, at least this godson won't have to run away. It's not a bad thing for Xiaomeng to have such a brother. Since both children are sober and rational, there is no need to think about this aspect in the future.

"Column? How can I write a column?" Chen Zhuo was surprised when he heard Emma's suggestion on the phone.
As an agent office in Hong Kong, Emma received many cooperation invitations. After thorough review, Chen Zhuo also had two football training classes in Germany and Italy to attend. In such a tight time, Emma turned down most of them.
Part of the cooperation invitation allowed Chen Zhuo to choose a few that his time allowed.
Emma said: "It's not complicated, Patton. The Football Association has cooperated with a Hong Kong-wide newspaper to create a prediction column. There are also sales points in Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other Pearl River Delta cities. The circulation is okay. Chairman Liang hopes to help you."
The reputation of the company will promote the distribution. During the World Cup, I want you to make predictions about the game. The company's technical center can provide you with support, just like you did pre-match analysis when you were an executive coach. Then, I will send you an email every day.
I, I will help you contact the newspaper editorial department for publication..."
"Oh, that's okay. That means studying the game every day and predicting the results...Emma, why does it sound like I'm betting on football!" Chen Zhuo asked.
Emma smiled and said: "Patton, the gambling industry in Hong Kong is legal. Just like Europe, it is also licensed. As long as you don't bet on your team's loss and don't influence the game, it's legal. Do you know?
Every year, various European countries come up with various weird prediction methods. This year, an octopus named Paul in the Osenberg Aquarium in Germany will also participate in the prediction..."
Since it's not illegal and the time is right, let's just do it. Anyway, I have to watch the World Cup games.
