Chapter 376 Chinese is really too difficult

A week later, Wen Song and Cheng Che brought Astrid back to Hangzhou.

Because it was a weekend evening, the airport was crowded. As soon as the car drove out of the VIP area, Wen Song frowned immediately when he saw the dense traffic.

Cheng Che noticed her expression and bent down to kiss her forehead. "Be patient and leave Astrid to mom. We will go to Japan tomorrow or tonight."

After arriving home, Qiu Xuanyan and Lu Mingqian also brought Xiyue home. As soon as Astrid saw Qiu Xuanyan, she rushed forward and hugged her, and said excitedly: "Kelsey Mama!! I miss you soooo much!!! I miss you all the time day and night!! Not a second goes by without missing you!! I love you Kelsey mama! And also Evelyn jiejie, do you miss me too?"

(Mom Kelsey, I miss you so much! I think about you from morning till night! There is not a second when I don’t miss you! I love you Mom Kelsey, and Sister Evelyn, do you miss me too?)

"Of course my princess Astrid." Qiu Xuanyan also hugged her, "I also miss you day and night every second. Honey, have you recovered from injury? Does arm still hurt? Oh no, Kelsey Mama heart broken..."

(Of course, my Princess Astrid, I miss you every second of the day and night. Honey, have you recovered from your injury? Does your arm still hurt? Oh no, Kelsey's mother's heart is broken.)

Astrid shook her head, swung her arms, kissed Qiu Xuanyan on the face and said with a smile: "Yes! I totally recovered! Kelsey mama, I took some gifts for you, Evelyn Jiejie and Lu papa. I also miss Evelyn, I wanna go to Disneyland with her!"

(Yes, I am completely fine now! Mom Kelsey, I brought some gifts for you, sister Evelyn and dad Lu. I miss Evelyn too, and I want to go to Disneyland with her!)

Xiyue is already ten years old. She is wearing a white Chanel dress, a white hat on her head, and long hair. She looks like an elegant and generous little lady.

He inherited his parents' steady and introverted personality. He just stood by and looked at Astrid tenderly. When he heard her words, he walked up to her, hugged her gently and said, "Astrid, I miss you too. No problem, we can go to Disneyland tomorrow. Which Disneyland do you want to go to?"

(Astrid, I miss you too. No problem, we can go to Disney tomorrow, which Disneyland do you want to go to)

Astrid chuckled, jumped to the ground and approached Evelyn, whispering in her ear: "I wanna go to both of them, especially the Hongkong one, I can't wait to eat McDonald's there."

(I want to go to both, especially the one in Hong Kong. I can’t wait to eat McDonald’s there.)

"Wen Song!! Cheng Che!!!" Qiu Xuanyan frowned and pretended to be angry after hearing her words. She hit Wen Song lightly and said, "You two are going to die! Don't you want to give my precious goddaughter food?! How come our little princess is already thinking about McDonald's day and night!"

"Don't blame me." Wen Song immediately cleared himself from suspicion, "I allowed her to eat McDonald's."

"No..." Cheng Che chuckled and said awkwardly, "It's not that I don't let her eat it at all, it's just that these things are too unhealthy, so I only let her eat them once in a while."

"It's okay." Wen Song said carelessly, "Boss Qiu and I ate a lot of this when we were young, right, Boss Qiu? We went to McDonald's every day after school."

"That's right." Qiu Xuanyan also said, "Besides, the more you don't allow her to eat, the more she wants to eat. Just like before, when Xixi had cavities and Mingqian didn't allow her to eat candy, she hid in bed and ate it secretly. She ate seven packs of haribo in one night."

"I didn't stop her from eating!" Lu Mingqian also protested, "I just asked her to eat less. Who can finish a whole box of honey cake and eat seven or eight bags of candy in one day?"

Wen Song smiled and took a sip of milk tea, then said to Qiu Xuanyan and Lu Mingqian, "Anyway, I'll leave Astrid to you. You can take her to Disneyland. I'm going to Japan with Che."

"Again?" Qiu Xuanyan was a little helpless. "Song, you spend at least a quarter of the year in Japan, right? Is there any place you haven't been to? Why are you going again this time?"

"We're going to see the cherry blossoms and soak in hot springs." Wen Song said with a smile, "I go to Hakone to soak in hot springs every spring, otherwise I'll be exhausted for the whole year. I'm also going to Kyoto to see my former student, Si Yao, who is now a professor at Kyoto University."

"Wow, that little girl is already a professor at Kyoto University?" Qiu Xuanyan exclaimed, "That's great, she's really working hard. Xixi also said she wants to study in Japan in the future, so now we don't have to worry about letters of recommendation. But she will graduate from elementary school in two years, so I want to send her to Switzerland to study at your alma mater."

"Ok." Wen Song nodded. "She doesn't have to live in school. Just let her live in our house. A-Che and I have a house in Zurich that's not far from school. Or she can live with my mom. Let her choose. If she wants to live alone and have more freedom, I can just buy her another house."

Lu Mingqian looked embarrassed and said to Qiu Xuanyan, "It's too early. Let her go abroad after she finishes high school. I can't bear to let her go."

"What's there to be reluctant about?" Qiu Xuanyan smiled. "Zurich is no different from her home. At worst, we can just move to Zurich to accompany her."

He complained to Wen Song again: "Song, let me tell you, Hangzhou has more and more people recently, and there are more and more idiots, especially those anchors and internet celebrities from outside. When I went to MixC two days ago, there was a man taking pictures next to my car. He was crazy. I asked him to move out of the way, but he quarreled with me. I complained to their management. They are crazy. They let anyone into the VIP parking area."

"That's fine." Lu Mingqian nodded and said with a smile, "I'll just have to trouble A-Che and Professor Wen to take care of her."

"I'm not going to Switzerland!" Xiyue protested after hearing their conversation, "I want to stay at home with my parents and grandparents! And all my friends are here, I'm not going to Switzerland! Mom, if you want to go, go by yourself, I'm not going!"

"Dad and grandpa and grandma can go with you." Qiu Xuanyan persuaded gently, "Besides, godmother and godfather, as well as Lucille's grandmother are all in Switzerland, and Astrid is also here. Aren't you best friends?"

"But I have other friends too! And I don't want to leave the place I'm familiar with. Anyway, I'm not going, so you can go by yourself if you want to."

She hugged Lu Mingqian's arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, I don't want to go to Switzerland. I want to go to Hangzhou. I don't want to go somewhere so far."

"Okay, okay." Qiu Xuanyan had no intention of forcing her, "If you don't want to go, then don't go."

Astrid didn't quite understand their conversation and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why does Evelyn look so unhappy?"

Wen Song briefly explained it to her, and Astrid nodded and said, "That's true! If Papa asked me to move to China, I wouldn't agree either. But I can travel to China, cause I miss Kelsey mama and Evelyn."

(It’s true! If my dad asked me to move to China, I wouldn’t agree. But I can come to China for tourism because I miss my mom Kelsey and Evelyn.)

"I love you Astrid." Xiyue smiled and touched her face, "I'll also always come to Germany to play with you." (I love you Astrid, I will also always come to Germany to play with you)

Qiu Xuanyan laughed and asked Wen Song again: "Astrid still doesn't know a word of Chinese? Can she understand it?"

"She can understand a little bit of the simple stuff." Wen Song said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to learn. Chinese is really too difficult. I can only remember the daily expressions now. If I read Chinese literature, I can't understand it at all. I know all the characters, but I don't know what they mean when they are put together."

Cheng Che also smiled and said, "She knows mom and dad, grandma, grandpa and grandma, sister and hug. She also knows her own Chinese name."

Astrid understood what he said and said proudly, "I can also say other Chinese words, like 不要活了 and my new Chinese name."

When Cheng Che heard her pronounce "I don't want to live anymore" in a clear and clear voice, he frowned and said to Wen Song, "My baby!! Can you please not say you don't want to live anymore in front of your daughter in the future?"

Wen Song smiled awkwardly and said angrily, "I don't know... I thought she couldn't understand, but who knew she had such a strong talent for languages ​​that she actually learned it."

Cheng Che asked again: "Astrid, what's your new Chinese name? Can you tell us?"

"Surely!" Astrid said with a smile, "it's Zuzong, mama said that's Yuwei's Chinese meaning."

(Of course! It’s ancestor. Mom said that’s the Chinese meaning of Yuwei)

Cheng Che's head darkened after hearing this. He turned around and hugged Wen Song's shoulders, sighing helplessly: "My baby...my professor, can you please not teach her these weird things?"

Then he said to Astrid, "Honey, that's not Yuwei's Chinese meaning, let papa explain it for you."

(Baby, that’s not what Yuwei means in Chinese. Let daddy explain it to you.)

Qiu Xuanyan also poked Wen Song's head, a little speechless, "You are such a person!!! You are a professor at the University of Munich!! Can you stop being so dishonest? You are polluting our Chinese culture here. I am really going to die."
