Chapter 1237 4 Courtyard Call
When the plane arrived, Wu Yao and Cao Wang went to greet them. They kept a low profile along the way and no media followed them.
We took a day off first and started formal discussions the next day, but we couldn't reach an agreement after talking for a long time.
What should have been discussed was how to divide the resources and interests in the Corruption Country and how to manage them in the future. The two parties should jointly take the blame and prevent many villages in Europe from being damaged.
But we didn't even start talking about these things, the beginning was blocked.
Helplessly, Wu Yao and Cao Wang came to the courtyard to find the three old men.
Now the three old men have settled down in the backyard of the courtyard house and are staying at Zeng Wangcai's house. The three old men said they would not leave and insisted on paying rent. In the end, Zeng Youqian stopped them by saying that they would not come unless they paid the money.
In the central courtyard, a large screen lit up, showing a news program.
There was a simple and light meal on the table. The three old men were having dinner with Zeng Youqian's family.
The Zeng family business is too big, and the younger generation, relatives, etc. are all working outside, so now only Zeng You has more time, including Chen Yumei who occasionally has to go on "business trips" to take a look.
Therefore, there is never a dissatisfied person at the dinner table of the Zeng family. If it weren't for the little girl Xiaohuan from Zeng Youhuo's family who is now the manager of the supermarket next door, the Zeng family would be even more deserted.
In short, the Zeng family doesn't have many regular visitors now. Apart from Lin Huyang and Huang Liang, who are married and have children and can't go out to have fun, not many people come.
Having these three old men come to live here is like complementing Zeng Youqian.
"Grandpa, try this asparagus!" Zeng Youqian placed a plate of freshly served asparagus and shrimp in front of the old men. "This is grown in our hometown. It's pure green, and so are the shrimps. Please eat more. You can also have some. Don't be polite."
"Don't worry about us, we can do it ourselves!" Wu Yao said politely.
"It's delicious. This tastes right." Cao Wang ate a piece of fried egg with chives and nodded vigorously. "This tastes the same as when I went to Zengzhuang in my early years. I haven't tasted it for many years. Now, no matter which place provides it to us, it doesn't taste as good as before."
"As long as you like it, eat more!" Zeng Youqian happily asked Xiaohuan to take out a bottle of red wine, "Would you like to drink some? This is fine, it's red, my daughter-in-law called Jiangdao and asked someone to buy it for me, and told me to try it, it has a low alcohol content and is good for your health."
"Low alcohol content? Good for your health?" Yang Mingyuan's throat twitched twice, and he turned back to stare at Liu Yong, "Then... let's drink some?"
The three of them have quit smoking and drinking. Cigarettes are easy to quit. After going through the difficult initial days of quitting smoking, they basically don't crave them anymore.
But this wine is... a little difficult.
"If you say you don't want to drink, then don't drink!"
"Hey, it's okay, it's not too strong!" Zeng Youqian advised, "Just two taels..."
So, red wine was served in Chinese wine glasses.
"Xiuzhi said that red wine is not foreign wine, it has been around since a long time ago." Zeng Youqian poured wine for everyone and talked about the history of red wine. "She said that if we like it, she will invest in Turpan to build a grape planting base, and mobilize the local people to build our own winery."
"This is good, we have to drink it!" Yang Mingyuan took a bite without saying a word.
Well, the wine jar is opened.
After drinking, eating, and watching the news for a while, Zeng Youqian went back to the front yard to sleep, leaving the three old men and Wu Yao and Cao Wang in the middle yard.
With a table and a pot of tea, five people started chatting.
"What you mean is that the Americans won't release the eagle until they see the rabbit. They think that Wangcai from the UK hasn't done enough, right?" Liu Yong asked after listening to Wu Yao's retelling of the progress of the negotiations.
"That's about it." Wu Yao took a sip of tea and picked up a handful of melon seeds. "You don't know the nature of the Americans. They say one thing and do another. They will take advantage of any opportunity."
"This is not a matter of taking advantage!" Liu Yong shook his head. "I think they are probably still waiting and watching. After all, Wangcai's opponent is basically the whole of Europe. It's not easy to do what Hitler couldn't accomplish back then."
"That's what I think!" Cao Wang interrupted. "We just think the Americans are too calculating. They don't even do the work for a penny, and they're still complaining when we talk about what's going on."
"Well, it's almost time, let's call Wangcai!" Liu Yong said, looking at the time.
Wu Yao and Cao Wang came here to find Zeng Wangcai to see what he had to say in order to facilitate the subsequent negotiations.
Yang Mingyuan got up and plugged a cable into the TV, while Liu Yong took out his mobile phone to operate it.
The three people's greatest improvement in electronic products is that they can use a set of equipment here to call Zeng Wangcai for a live broadcast.
The call was connected, the picture was a little shaky, and a sound like popping beans came from the speaker.
"Wangcai, what are you doing? Why are you making so much noise?" Liu Yong asked while standing in front of the TV. The other two old men as well as Wu Yao and Cao Wang all stood up and moved over.
"Fighting!" Zeng Wangcai's face wearing a helmet appeared on the screen.
He was holding a mobile phone, so the camera was a little shaky, and the popping sound that Liu Yong and the others heard was undoubtedly gunfire.
"You went on your own?" Liu Yong was furious when he saw the helmet. "Didn't we agree that you couldn't go to the battlefield? Why didn't you listen?"
"No, I'm at the back, I'm safe."
"You're wearing a helmet, and you're still lying to us?"
"Really not. Let me show you."
Zeng Wangcai flipped the phone and showed the old men the surrounding environment. It was indeed the monitoring room in the rear, but it was in a tent.
"I wasn't lying to you. I was watching the fight from behind." Zeng Wangcai's face appeared on the screen again.
"Where are you playing now? Is it the same as before? By the way, Wu Yao and Cao Wang are here, let them talk to you." Liu Yong pulled Yang Mingyuan and Su Ming aside, giving the C position to Wu Yao and the others.
"Wangcai, are you okay?" Wu Yao waved at the camera, "I'll get straight to the point. I won't delay your fight..."
From what you said, it sounds like fighting a war here is as easy as eating a meal.
"Brother Wu and Brother Cao, you are here too, tell us what's the matter." Zeng Wangcai said with a smile.
Just as Wu Yao was about to speak, a soldier suddenly appeared in the camera and handed Zeng Wangcai a tablet.
This was the first time that the old men saw Zeng Wangcai’s combined brigade up close. The oppressive feeling of the advanced equipment could not be felt from a distance.
"Or, let's talk later. You have something important to do." Wu Yao said.
"No, it's no big deal. We have to send out drones and machines. The fire coverage is over."
"Uh... just now the old man asked, where are you playing now?"
"Birmingham, Sister Mei is in the city, and I don't know if she has escaped. We must not accidentally kill her."
"..."
Brother, you've done something really big.
You didn't make any moves for some time, but now it has suddenly turned into a decapitation operation?
