Chapter 739 Wedding! Jade pendant! Monkey!
Cao Dongfang attended Hou Kui's wedding on September 9, and met two old men, Niu Ye and Pian Er Ye, at the wedding.
"Dongfang, come and sit down. You are free. The international situation is so tense. It's not right for a minister like you to be free!"
"Pianerye is wrong. The more idle I am, the more peaceful and secure the country is, and the more I will be busy with national affairs!" Cao Dongfang said with a smile.
"That's right. The war between Russia and the United States has little to do with our country.
But many people say that our country should join the war and become the world's leader!
“Everyone says that too many people die in wars, and that there are too many soldiers participating in the war this time, so 100 million people are just cannon fodder.
At that time, no matter whose children die, whose lives are not worth it, we will still be alive to watch the fun, and our military will guard the border well! "
“Yes, you can brag a lot, but few people would actually send their children to fight a meaningless war.
It’s not like our country is being invaded by others! It’s best to just watch the fun! "
"What Pian'er said is true. If it has nothing to do with our country, we can just talk about it. There is no need to do it ourselves!" Cao
"Dongfang is right. Have you ever been to He Daqing's place to eat barbecue? It tastes good and there are many people!"
"I've been there more than a dozen times. The kids at home wanted to eat it, but they didn't know how to bake it at first, so I took them there.
Later, when I grew up and learned how to barbecue, I never went there again. I haven't been there for three years.
Uncle He makes over 8000 a day, so his business is pretty good!
"It's similar to Shazhu's. Shazhu's is also pretty good. The father and son make a lot of money. Barbecue business is good!"
“Their barbecue is different from the old Sijiucheng barbecue, but it tastes better!”
“Northwest barbecue feels like skewers, and with beer, it feels great!”
"If it's delicious, eat more. Pian'erye and I are fine now. We go there three times a week and enjoy the food!"
"Just relax! The bride and groom are out, the wedding is about to begin!"
"Little Hou Kui has grown up!"
“He’s grown up, and we’re old!”
......
"What are you talking about?" Chen Xueru came back from her mother's house.
"Nothing to say? He Daqing and Sha Zhu's barbecue, and Hou Kui has grown up!" Uncle Niu said with a smile.
"Yes, they have grown up and are married!" Chen Xueru sat down with a happy expression.
"Xue Ru has truly raised Hou Kui to adulthood this time; he was just a child before.
We have watched Hou Kui grow up since he was a child, and he is a very good kid.
After marriage, Hou Kui will be a real adult, and Xueru will be much more relaxed in the future! "Pianerye smiled.
"It's much easier now. I've grown up since I went to college. I'm just worried about his marriage!" Chen Xueru smiled.
"As soon as Hou Kui got married today, Xueru looks younger again, just like a 30-year-old. Congratulations, Xueru!"
“Thank you, Master Niu!
"Hou Kui is getting married, and you don't accept gifts. I'll give Hou Kui a small gift later. Don't refuse. It's a small gift from me and Pian'erye!"
"We all know each other, so we don't have to spend any money, just come and have some fun!"
"Xueru, you're welcome. It's not a big deal. I only bought it for 170 yuan. It's just an old item with a good meaning. I want to bring good luck!"
"Well, thank you, Master Niu, Master Pian! I'm welcome!"
"It's not worth anything, why are you being polite?"
Hou Kui and the bride Xing Yuzhen began to toast, starting with Chen Xueru.
Chen Xueru gave two thick red envelopes, containing at least 10,000 yuan.
Finish the wine happily.
After Chen Xueru are Niu Ye and Pian Ye, who are older and belong to the same generation as Hou Kui’s grandfather.
After drinking, he gave Hou Kui and Xing Yuzhen a jewelry box.
"Rosewood - a jewelry box with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, the dynasty of the perfect old man!" Cao Dongfang said softly.
Hou Kui and Xing Yuzhen thanked Niu Ye and Pian Ye again.
It has good meaning and is an old item. These two people are very thoughtful.
When they came down to Cao Dongfang, Cao Dongfang finished his drink and gave Xing Yuzhen a Maitreya Buddha jade pendant.
Hou Kui thanked him quickly. Did he know what it was?
That is not an ordinary jade pendant.
It is a magical instrument.
It is extremely precious and cannot be bought in China, even if you have money.
At this time, there were a few more people accompanying Hou Kui and Xing Yuzhen, and the person who was toasting recognized Cao Dongfang.
They were speechless for a while. They couldn't figure out what the relationship between Hou Kui's family and Cao Dongfang was.
Only Hou Kui didn't care. He had known Uncle Dongfang since he was a child and used to live in the same compound with his mother.
Xing Yuzhen had known this long ago, so she wasn't that surprised. The set of jewelry she wore for her wedding was given to her by Minister Cao. Her best friends and two sisters-in-law were extremely envious.
Looking at the appearance of Hou Kui's jade pendant, Xing Yuzhen knew that it was not an ordinary item and that it could not be bought even with money. Hou Kui had a Guanyin jade pendant.
If you have any questions, go home and ask them. There is no need to rush.
Hou Kui's family knew Cao Dongfang, and Cao Dongfang helped to open the current factory. He also taught Hou Kui martial arts, but he never told anyone else.
The bride and groom toasted and then started to toast others.
The table returned to normal.
Everyone talked while eating.
After the wedding, Cao Dongfang said goodbye to Chen Xueru and left with Niu Ye and Pian Ye.
Cao Dongfang almost became the focus of the wedding again.
......
At 1:20 in the afternoon, the children were at his mother-in-law's house, not far away, and Cao Dongfang walked over.
Father-in-law, "Dongfang, you're here, sit down!"
"Dongfang, how was the wedding?" Song Xianxian asked.
"It's okay. There are sixteen tables. I shouldn't have gone. I was treated like a monkey again!" Cao Dongfang said helplessly.
After Cao Dongfang was recognized, more than a hundred people looked at him for no reason. He was not a monkey in the zoo.
"Hahaha, you're treated like a monkey because you're too famous. This is what happens when you attend a wedding. Just bear with it!" Song Xianxian laughed.
"What can I do if I can't bear it? I can't hit anyone!"
"In the East, the Eagle Sauce and the Russian Bear are really preparing for a war. The news says that they are preparing for war! They are preparing for war!" asked the father-in-law.
“This is true. So far, both sides have 4000 million soldiers alone, and their military strength is about the same.
In terms of weapons, Russia still has the advantage in missiles, tanks, and artillery, and the air force is about the same.
The war is coming!
"4000 million people, this number is too scary. This is another war. Our country will end up in World War III!"
"If our country doesn't stop, too many people will die, which is not cost-effective. Having these few years will be good for our country's economic development.
As long as no one disturbs our country for five years, that's all! "
"They have an army of 4000 million. Doesn't our country need to recruit soldiers? There won't be any problems!"
"There is no need for conscription. Once conscription is done, it will only provoke the Russians. Let them fight, and our country will have nothing to worry about!"
"As long as you have confidence, it's fine! They will come to our country to buy arms in the future, and we can make money!"
"I am also hesitant about arms. Light weapons and daily necessities are fine, but I don't want to sell tanks, cannons, and airplanes!"
"Why not sell it!" Song Qianguo asked.
"I have an idea. It's mainly because my country is selling. The stock is gone. my country also needs stock. Will the new weapons affect the balance of war?"
"It's up to you to decide. Inventory is also important. If you don't have it, don't sell it. How much did the last batch of arms sell for?"
"The total is 572 billion Eagle Sauce Dollars, equivalent to 2288 billion Chinese Yuan. my country earned more than 1700 billion in one go.
It’s mainly about minerals. In the next ten years, my country will basically have no shortage of minerals.
"I never thought that selling arms could make so much money. Now that the army has money, re-equipment is not a problem. Won't the southern army re-equip itself?" asked the father-in-law.
Renew their equipment. Why not if they have the money? Their old weapons have been sold. By the end of next year, all the troops in the country will have been renewing their equipment! "
"You've sold them all. No wonder there's no stock left. You don't want to sell the heavy weapons anymore! You should keep some for yourself!"
"Yes, some should be left!" Cao Dongfang didn't say much.
"I really hope they fight, so there won't be any trouble. We in the court keep talking about when they will start a war. It's so boring!"
"It's the same in our hospital. We talk about this whenever we have free time. We also hope that our country will send troops to beat them up!" said Mo Jinlan.
"They will go to war in a year at most. They have recruited too many soldiers!"
"Hurry up and hit me! Stop dithering!"
