Chapter 746 Family Reunion
Instantly, tears flowed from the corners of Hannah's eyes. The two hugged each other tightly. Hannah's body trembled and she couldn't cry. Her hand stroked Heinrich's back. At the beginning, the construction of the Berlin Wall separated the couple from then on. Twenty years have passed in a flash! How did he fall asleep every night? Now, Hannah was finally in front of him. Heinrich didn't want Hannah to be separated from him anymore!
The Berlin Wall separated countless families and relatives. But when the Berlin Wall was finally opened, allowing people from East and West Germany to travel between each other, this kind of scene happened everywhere.
Some were lucky enough to find their wives and children, while others were unlucky enough to find their old house with new faces and their wives and children gone. Even worse, when they were excited to find their family, they found that their significant other had formed a new family with someone else.
After all, people have to survive.
"Mom, who is this person?" asked the daughter beside her.

"Ivana, he is your father. When he left us, you were only three months old. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed." Hannah said to her daughter.
"Didn't you say that father had passed away?" Ivana asked in confusion.
"That was to prevent you from getting more sad. That day, your father went to work in West Berlin. As a result, the Berlin Wall was built that day. From then on, your father was separated from you by the Berlin Wall." Hannah said, "I didn't expect that we would meet again one day."
Heinrich looked at his adult daughter and took out the wrapped gift with trembling hands: "Ivana, from now on, our family will be reunited and we will never be separated again. This is my gift to you."

Heinrich handed the packaged box to Ivana, and Ivana's eyes lit up immediately: "The latest model of CD Walkman! It's exactly what I like! I told mom several times, but she didn't buy it for me. Dad, I love you!"
Heinrich watched his daughter hug him and kiss him on the cheek, acknowledging him as her father. Heinrich felt very complicated. He never expected that this Walkman could bribe his daughter.

Of course, a Walkman is not enough. Didn’t Ivana just say that she needed a computer?
"Ivana, when I return to West Germany, I'll bring money and buy this computer for you." Heinrich said, "Just think of it as me fulfilling my fatherly responsibilities!"

"Long live Dad!" Ivana was full of affection for this father.
After receiving the receipt for the deposit and looking at the group of West Germans surrounding them, Heinrich and his family left the store and got into a two-door Satellite sedan outside.
This is Germany's national car. However, when the car started, the constant vibration of the car body and the cloud of black smoke coming out of the tail still made Heinrich frown. It seems that East Germany is only advanced in electronic technology, but it is still very backward in terms of automobile technology!
Germany has a strong industrial base and is also the birthplace of automobiles. However, the early automobile industry was concentrated in western Germany. After the end of World War II, these major industrial bases all became West Germany, and East Germany found that it could not even produce a car! In 1953, the famous "People's Uprising" took place in East Germany. The shortage of consumer goods made the people unbearable, and then East Germany decided to develop a family car to solve people's dissatisfaction with life.

Thus, the satellite brand car, which has been popular in East Germany for decades, was launched. When it was originally planned, the car had two seats in the front and back, a total weight of no more than 600 kilograms, a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour, a fuel consumption of less than 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, and a price of less than 4,000 East German marks. Due to the lack of steel, they had to use phenolic resin extracted from lignite and fibers from cotton to synthesize thermosetting plastics for the car body. This car was called "Trabant", which is a transliteration, and translated as satellite.
Twin cylinders, two strokes, displacement 0.6 liters, the technology is far behind that of the West, however, as a national car, this thing has to be reserved for several years before it can be purchased, so everyone who owns it will carefully maintain it and it rarely breaks down.
"Hannah, thank you for your hard work over the years." Heinrich said, "How will you live after I'm gone?" Originally, Hannah was just a housewife, but when Heinrich left, Hannah would definitely take care of her daughter!
"It's OK. In the past few years, we have been relying on government assistance. Fortunately, my daughter has been going to school since she was young, and she didn't have to pay any tuition fees. Until now, she has been studying in college and graduate school, all at public expense." Hannah said: "When Ivana went to elementary school, I went out to work. My life was very busy at the beginning, but in recent years, I have been working in an electronics factory, and my life has improved a lot. This car was also purchased last year."

Female workers are common workers on the production lines of electronics factories. In these aspects, they are more meticulous than men and make fewer mistakes.
"Thank you for your hard work, Hannah. From now on, you don't have to work anymore. I will support you. This is my duty. By the way, how much do you earn a month now?" Heinrich asked.

"It's not enough. Now, it's only 700 marks a month," said Hannah.
Seven hundred marks. Instantly, Heinrich felt the sweat on his head running down. He only made 500 marks a month in West Germany! Originally, Heinrich wanted to take Hannah and Ivana to West Germany. At the beginning, how many people risked their lives to escape from East Germany to West Germany! Now, the door between the two Germanys is open, and they can enter and exit freely. It's just right to take them back to West Germany. But now it seems that it's easier to live in East Germany!

Completely free schools, good salaries, which are much better than West Germany, and... At this time, Hannah had driven the car to a gas station. In front of the self-service gas machine, Hannah was ready to refuel. Looking at the numbers on the gas pump, Heinrich felt his heart beating violently. The price of oil was really too cheap!
In West Germany, due to the high oil prices, Heinrich had sold his Volkswagen sedan. He couldn't afford to drive it anyway, and he had to pay taxes if he left it there every day, so it was better to sell it. Who knew that there were car dealers everywhere, and the prices of used cars were quite low! After reluctantly selling it, Heinrich now rides a bicycle to get off work every day.

Now, I never thought that the oil price here is so low! The cost of maintaining a car is low. Compared with West Germany, this place is simply a paradise on earth!
As the car continued to move, Heinrich saw that the city here had changed a lot. It could be said that the new urban area here was built completely according to Soviet characteristics, and the streets and everything were exactly the same.
