This is actually the third Spring Festival since Qin Zhiyuan came to this world.
The first two Spring Festivals were spent in a hurry due to busy work. Now that the world war is finally over, Qin Zhiyuan is ready to relax.
In fact, the preparations for the Spring Festival have already started a few days ago. Qin Zhiyuan wants to use the Spring Festival to condense the possible low morale caused by breaking away from the Republic of China and reshape the customs and customs of Lanfang.
The French government still attaches great importance to the traditional festivals of the Chinese. For the Chinese soldiers who have not yet evacuated, the French government has tried its best to prepare enough supplies to send to the Black Swan Castle, from couplets on the door to various foods, so that the foreign legions can enjoy them as much as possible.
Soldiers can still feel the warmth even in Europe.
The other generals of the Foreign Legion also meant the same thing. Almost all the generals, including Qin Zhisheng from Corsica, gathered at Black Swan Castle. This made Julie, who didn't know much about the Spring Festival, find it quite new.
In Julie's view, since the Spring Festival is a holiday comparable to Christmas in the Chinese world, it should be celebrated as a family unit instead of everyone gathering together to congratulate each other like now.
This is the biggest difference between Chinese and foreigners. In the Chinese world, as long as it is a major festival, basically everyone gathers together to celebrate it. Only in this way can you feel the warmth of the family, which is obviously more humanistic.
So many people gathered together to clean the house, put up Spring Festival couplets and make dumplings
In another world, Qin Zhiyuan once felt afraid of the Spring Festival like many people.
Because Qin Zhiyuan is single, he feels even more lonely during the holidays.
But in this world, no matter what it is, Qin Zhiyuan devotes himself to it and tries his best to find happiness. Only in this way can he not live up to his heavy life.
Just like in the other world, Qin Zhiyuan also prepared a lot of red envelopes to distribute to Girardine and the others.
Girardine felt it was new at first, but after understanding the meaning of the red envelope, Girardine was a little resistant because she thought she had outgrown the category of a child.
Although the Spring Festival couplets were posted crookedly and the dumplings were made in different sizes, Julie and Misha still devoted themselves to everything.
The Chinese and the French are two groups with completely different customs. These two peoples live together, and there is still a long way to go before they can adapt.
Different from the three or five dishes that the French celebrate on Christmas, the Chinese New Year dinner is as sumptuous as possible, with cold, hot, stir-fry, frying and cooking. Chef Wang tried his best to make the New Year's Eve dinner so colorful that Julie
Both Misha and the others felt a bit luxurious.
It was indeed a luxury, especially in the context of the immediate aftermath of the world war.
But it is very necessary.
Lanfang is a new country. This country has no history, no cohesion, and no centripetal force. Although the majority of Lanfang is Chinese, it is obviously inappropriate to directly transfer the practices of the Republic of China to Lanfang. Lanfang must have its own
Only when it has its own culture and traditions can it be considered an independent country.
To put it this way, Qin Zhiyuan has taken great pains.
Although Qin Zhiyuan wanted to steal a half-day of leisure, it was obvious that the objective world did not change according to Qin Zhiyuan's will. Not long after the New Year's Eve dinner started, Gao Hongshi hurried in with a telegram.
Seeing that Gao Hongshi looked ugly, Qin Zhiyuan apologized to Julie and the others, and then went to the study room with Gao Hongshi.
After the Chinese arrived in France, many Chinese and French women became temporary couples. It has been more than two years. If you act quickly, your children will already be talking.
In the old Renault factory, there were more such examples, with nearly a thousand Chinese and French women forming transnational couples.
There were many female workers in the old Renault factory, and they slowly discovered the goodness of the Chinese after working and living for a long time. They worked hard, had no bad habits, didn’t smoke, didn’t drink, didn’t beat their wives, and even saved all the money they earned.
Subsidizing the family income is, in the eyes of many French women, the symbol of a perfect husband.
It has to be said that the Chinese do attach great importance to family. Many of them have become French nationals and plan to live in France permanently in the future and never return to the Far East or Lanfang.
Qin Zhiyuan neither encourages nor objects to this. Although it is not easy to train skilled workers, even if they stay in France, they are not completely useless. They can at least contribute to national integration.
In other words, if it is going to rain and my mother wants to get married, there is nothing that can be done to stop her. Just let her go. It is not sweet to force her to do it. If those Chinese have made up their mind not to go to Lanfang, force them to give up.
Living in France is not a good idea.
However, there were many imperfections in France's management during the World War, especially in the statistics of those killed in battle and missing persons. There were many errors. Some French soldiers who were not killed in battle but were merely captured were also classified as dead in battle.
list, which lays the foundation for the current situation.
After the end of the World War, France and Germany released prisoners from each other. A French prisoner of war returned to his hometown, only to find that during his disappearance, his wife had married a Chinese and gave birth to a child.
One can imagine the anger of the French soldier.
Gao Hongshi's telegram was about this matter. At this time, the angry French soldier had been arrested by the police, and the Chinese named Liu Henshui was injured and hospitalized. But even though he was bruised and bruised, Liu Henshui protected his wife and children.
No harm was done.
Not all Chinese are like Rambo, and not all French soldiers are as incompetent as women. This time it just happens to be two extremes.
Now that things have come to this, there is no need to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. Qin Zhiyuan must first go to the hospital to visit the injured workers.
In the car, Gao Hongshi reported more information: Since the armistice last year, according to incomplete statistics, such things have happened more than ten times, and this one is the most representative. There is a vague saying in Paris now that it is the law.
While the soldiers are fighting on the front lines, we Chinese are stealing the hearts of French women behind the scenes.
Although the word "thief" sounds quite romantic, it is obviously a derogatory term, which to a certain extent reflects the vague hostility towards Chinese people in Paris at this time.
Where is Duke now? Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care about the rumors. The key is to grasp the main issues.
Duke is an officer sent by the French government to coordinate work with the Foreign Legion. Whether it is military or civilian, as long as the Foreign Legion is involved, Duke's participation is always indispensable.
Duke has already gone to the police station. He wants to appease the French soldier. It is said that the French soldier is a recipient of the Legion of Honor, has performed well in the army, and his rank before being captured was sergeant major. He was captured
The story was miraculous. He was stunned by German shells during the battle. When he woke up, he found that he had been captured. Because the French army had retreated at that time, no one proved that the sergeant major was still alive, so he was included in the death list.
, Gao Hongshi felt sad.
In fact, they are all soldiers. From the bottom of his heart, Gao Hongshi sympathized with the sergeant major. If Gao Hongshi came back from the front line and found someone occupying his family and sleeping with his wife, Gao Hongshi would probably have the intention to kill someone.
But from a Chinese perspective, Gao Hongshi could only choose the Chinese side and had no other choice.
This is indeed a tragedy. If you want to blame it, you can only blame this damn war.
In the hospital, soldiers of the Foreign Legion and Paris police were already on duty, and they wanted to prevent other more serious things from happening.
In this extraordinary period, anything can happen.
Of course, understanding is understanding, but whether you can forgive is another matter.
In the ward, Liu Henshui was lying on the bed receiving treatment. His head was wrapped in a bandage, including one eye. Liu Henshui's French wife was crying beside the bed. Only their child was still young. Now
She was lying on the stroller beside her, soundly asleep.
Although he had been beaten into a pig's head, Liu Henshui was still struggling to comfort his wife. His wife's eyes were red and swollen, she was crying and laughing, and she never let go of Liu Henshui's hand.
Qin Zhiyuan and Gao Hongshi pushed the door open at this moment.
When Qin saw Qin Zhiyuan come in, Liu Henshui had incredible surprise in his eyes. He struggled to get up from the bed and motioned to his wife to help him.
Liu Henshui knew that the Foreign Legion would not ignore him, but since today was the Spring Festival, Liu Henshui did not think that the Foreign Legion would handle this matter immediately, let alone Qin Zhiyuan coming over in person.
You don't have to get up, just lie down. Qin Zhiyuan held flowers in his hand and handed them to Liu Henshui's wife, who was looking at him with admiration: I was wronged.
Just a simple sentence really made this haggard French woman burst into tears instantly. Liu Henshui's wife did not accept the flowers, but hugged Qin Zhiyuan and cried loudly.
As a woman, Liu Henshui's wife simply encountered the biggest embarrassment in her life today. If the Ministry of War had not informed her that her husband had been killed in action, she probably would not have chosen to start a family again, even if she had met the right person.
The profession of the military is extremely special. When soldiers are fighting on the front lines to serve their country, their marriages should be protected by law, and their wives should also take care of their families so that the soldiers have no worries.
But after all, soldiers may die in battle at any time, and no one can ask a soldier's wife to remain chaste for the rest of her life. If a soldier has been killed in battle, then the wife of a soldier should be encouraged to start a family again.
However, due to various combinations of circumstances, things have developed to this point, which is beyond the imagination of even the most thorough laws.
After a while, Liu Henshui's wife calmed down. Qin Zhiyuan sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed with a pleasant look. He first asked about Liu Henshui's injury, and then asked Liu Henshui's wife: Since this is the case, what do you think?
of
If I want to be with Liu, at least he won't hit me. I was a little worried before, but now I'm very sure that as long as Liu is here, he won't let me get hurt in any way. Liu Henshui's wife is resolute.
This is easy to handle, Qin Zhiyuan was determined.
If you are sure you want to be with Liu, then you'd better call him Henshui instead of Liu in the future. You know, your husband has a very nice name. Qin Zhiyuan joked.
Hearing Qin Zhiyuan's words, Liu Henshui smiled hard and shyly, while his wife looked surprised.
