Expedition to Europe

This is actually the third Spring Festival since Qin Zhiyuan came to this world.

The first two Spring Festivals were spent in a hurry because of busy affairs. Now that the world war is finally over, Qin Zhiyuan is ready to relax.

In fact, the preparations for the Spring Festival have started a few days ago. Qin Zhiyuan wants to use the Spring Festival to gather the possible low morale caused by the separation from the Republic of China and reshape the local customs of Lan Fang.

The French government still attaches great importance to the traditional festivals of the Chinese. For the Chinese soldiers who have not yet withdrawn, the French government has tried its best to prepare enough supplies to send to the Black Swan Castle, from couplet door paintings to various foods, so that the soldiers of the Foreign Legion can feel warm even if they are in Europe.

The other generals of the Foreign Legion also meant this, including Qin Zhisheng from Corsica. Almost all the generals gathered at the Black Swan Castle, which made Julie, who didn't know much about the Spring Festival, feel quite fresh.

In Julie's view, since the Spring Festival is a festival comparable to Christmas in the Chinese world, it should be celebrated as a family unit, instead of everyone gathering together to celebrate together 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 they feel the warmth of the family, which is obviously more humanistic.

So many people gather together to sweep the house, post Spring Festival couplets, make dumplings...

In another world, Qin Zhiyuan used to be afraid of the Spring Festival like many people.

Because Qin Zhiyuan is single, he will feel lonely every time during the festival.

But in this world, no matter what it is, Qin Zhiyuan is involved in it and tries to find happiness. Only in this way will he not live up to this life.

Like in another world, Qin Zhiyuan also prepared a lot of red envelopes to distribute to Geraldine and others.

Geraldine felt fresh at first, but after understanding the meaning of the red envelopes, Geraldine was a little resistant because she thought she was out of the scope of children.

Although the Spring Festival couplets were posted crookedly and the dumplings were big and small, Julie and Misha still devoted themselves to everything.

The Chinese and the French are two groups with completely different customs. The two nations still have a long way to go in getting along with each other.

Unlike the three or five dishes that the French celebrate Christmas, the Chinese New Year dinner is as rich as possible, with cold dishes, hot stir-fries, frying, boiling and cooking. Chef Wang used all his skills to make the New Year's Eve dinner so colorful that Julie and Misha felt a little extravagant.

It is indeed extravagant, especially in the context of the end of the world war.

But it is also necessary.

Lan Fang is a new country. This country has no history, no cohesion, and no centripetal force. Although the main body of Lan Fang is Chinese, it is obviously not appropriate to directly move the Republic of China to Lan Fang. Lan Fang must have its own culture and traditions to be considered an independent country.

In this way, Qin Zhiyuan has also taken great pains.

Although Qin Zhiyuan really wants to steal a half-day of leisure, it is obvious that the objective world does 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 Gao Hongshi's ugly face, Qin Zhiyuan apologized to Julie and the others, and then went to the study 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 they act quickly, their children have already learned to speak.

In the old Renault factory, there are more such examples. There are almost nearly a thousand Chinese and French women who have formed transnational couples.

There are many female workers in the old Renault factory. They slowly discovered the good of Chinese people after a long period of work and life. They work hard, have no bad habits, do not smoke, drink, beat their wives, and even save all the money they earn to subsidize the family. In the eyes of many French women, this is the symbol of a perfect husband.

It has to be said that the Chinese really attach great importance to family. Many of them have already joined the French nationality and are ready to live in France for a long time in the future, and no longer return to the Far East or Lanfang.

Qin Zhiyuan neither encouraged nor opposed this. Although it was not easy to train a skilled worker, even if they stayed in France, it was not completely useless. At least they could contribute to national integration.

In other words, if it rains, it will rain, and if it wants to marry, it will not be stopped. Just let it go. If the Chinese are determined not to go to Lan Fang, it is not a good idea to force them to give up their lives in France.

However, there were many imperfections in the management of France during the World War, especially in the statistics of the dead and missing. There were many errors. Some French soldiers who were not killed but only captured were also included in the list of dead, which laid hidden dangers for the current situation.

After the end of the World War, France and Germany released prisoners to each other. A French prisoner of war returned to his hometown and found that during his disappearance, his wife had married a Chinese and gave birth to a child.

You can imagine the anger of the French soldier.

Gao Hongshi's telegram was about this incident. At this time, the angry French soldier had been arrested by the police, and the Chinese man named Liu Henshui was injured and hospitalized. However, even though he was covered in bruises, Liu Henshui protected his wife and children from any harm.

Not all Chinese are like Rambo, and not all French soldiers are as weak as women. This time, it just happens to be two extremes.

Since things have come to this, let's not eat the New Year's Eve dinner. Qin Zhiyuan will 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, more than ten such incidents have occurred, and this one is the most representative...There is a saying in Paris now that when French soldiers are fighting on the front line, we Chinese are stealing the hearts of French women in the rear..."

Although the word "steal" sounds romantic, it is obviously a derogatory word, which reflects the implicit hostility of Paris towards the Chinese at this time to a certain extent.

"Where is Duke now?" Qin Zhiyuan ignored the rumors and grasped the main problem.

Duke is an officer sent by the French government to coordinate with the Foreign Legion. Whether it is military or civil, as long as it involves the Foreign Legion, Duke's participation is always indispensable.

"Duke has gone to the police station. He wants to comfort the French soldier. The French soldier is said to be a recipient of the Legion of Honor. He performed well in the army and was a sergeant major before being captured. The process of his capture was very magical. He was stunned by the 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 list of dead," Gao Hongshi felt sympathetic.

In fact, they are all soldiers. From the bottom of his heart, Gao Hongshi sympathizes with the sergeant major. If Gao Hongshi came back from the front and found that someone occupied his family and slept with his wife, Gao Hongshi probably wanted to kill him.

But from the perspective of the Chinese, Gao Hongshi can only choose the Chinese side, and there is no other choice.

This is indeed a tragedy. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame this damn war.

The original text is in the six # 9 @book/bar!

In the hospital, there are already soldiers of the Foreign Legion and Paris police on duty. They have to prevent other more serious things from happening.

In this extraordinary period, anything can be understood.

Of course, understanding is understanding, and whether to forgive is another matter.

In the ward, Liu Henshui was lying on the bed receiving treatment, with a bandage wrapped around his head, including one eye. Liu Henshui's French wife was crying beside the bed, and only their child was still young and was now sleeping soundly in a stroller beside him.

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, crying and laughing, and she held Liu Henshui's hand and never let go.

Qin Zhiyuan and Gao Hongshi pushed the door open at this time.

"Qin..." Seeing Qin Zhiyuan coming in, Liu Henshui had an incredible surprise in his eyes. He struggled to get up from the bed and motioned his wife to help him.

Liu Henshui knew that the Foreign Legion would not ignore him, but because today was the Spring Festival, Liu Henshui did not think that the Foreign Legion would deal with this matter immediately, and he did not expect Qin Zhiyuan to come in person.

"No need to get up, just lie down." Qin Zhiyuan held a flower in his hand and handed it to Liu Henshui's wife who was looking at him with admiration: "I've been 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 encountered the biggest embarrassment in her life today. If the Army Department had not notified her that her husband had died in battle, she would probably not choose to re-establish a family, even if she met the right person.

The profession of a soldier is extremely special. When soldiers are fighting on the front line for their country, their marriages should be protected by law, and their wives should also take good care of the family so that the soldiers have no worries.

But after all, soldiers may die at any time, and no one can ask the soldiers' wives to remain chaste for a lifetime. If the soldiers have died in battle, then the soldiers' wives should be encouraged to re-establish a family if they are now.

But due to various coincidences, things have developed to this point, which is really unimaginable even for the most thorough laws.

After a long time, Liu Henshui's wife calmed down. Qin Zhiyuan sat down on the chair beside the bed with a pleasant face. He first asked about Liu Henshui's injuries, and then asked Liu Henshui's wife: "Since it has come to this, what do you think?"

"I want to be with Liu. At least he won't beat me. I was a little worried before, but now I am very sure that as long as Liu is there, he will not let me get hurt." Liu Henshui's wife was firm.

This is easy to deal with, Qin Zhiyuan was relieved.

"If you are sure 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 laughed with difficulty and shyness, while his wife looked surprised.

Yeah, it really sounds good...
