Chapter 1239 Elderly Patients
It was not easy to get rid of Kasu, who had aroused the sympathy of the kitten, but after the woman received an answer that was not a reply, she took the initiative to keep her mouth shut.
She waved a few Rohingyas who were obviously her subordinates to leave, and then she clung to Boss Qiao's team, as if this could give her a sense of security.
Tongtong and Ana have become brainless sisters in the past few months, and they have gotten a little carried away...
When Qiao Jia walked into the slum commercial street, he saw a group of Chinese people wearing red hats being 'kidnapped' by Aunt Zhao and entered her shop.
Tong Tong looked at Boss Qiao's gaze, spread her hands and said, "This is a senior citizen group organized by my grandparents. She said she wanted to take her old colleagues to see her achievements.
I wanted to take them to see lions fishing for big fish, but they were not willing to do so. They spent all day in those signed parks, just to show off that their names were engraved on the gates..."
Qiao Jia pushed Tong Tong on the head in disgust and said, "Then you'll take the money, right? Where's the tour guide?
If you don't work, you just earn the pension money of those old men and women. Don't you feel guilty? "
Tong Tong pulled the tall Ana and asked her to help block the gazes from the elderly group, and then stuck out her tongue and said: "The old men and women in our family are more familiar than me here, and they even know the road better than me...
Besides, their pension is too high. Instead of giving it to their prodigal son, why not support me?
I have to pay Rafa and Sarah a salary. These old men and women enjoyed the service of the princess tour guide a few days ago. Who knew that as soon as they arrived in Sangha Town, they refused to ask for a tour guide..."
Qiao Jia looked at Tong Tong like a fool. A bunch of pushy old men and women in China went out and let the two princesses take them to play?
Those two people have no idea about money. They can follow them to buy reliable gadgets, but these retired old people have to live in their wallets...
Seeing Aunt Zhao letting out a laugh of ‘oh-oh-oh’ and carrying the last skinny old man into the store, Boss Qiao followed him and took a look a little worried...
When the two elite gangsters guarding the door of the store saw Boss Qiao passing by, they immediately wanted to report, but Boss Qiao held them back one by one...
After giving each of them 5 yuan to shut up, Qiao Jia used the decorations at the door to look at the bustling jewelry store. Aunt Zhao was showing off several exquisite local handicrafts in her Fujian Mandarin, and then quickly There are uncles and aunts who generously donated money...
Qiao Jia heard the price from a distance. They were all gold products. The price was about 15% more expensive than the current price of gold. It was worth it to see the workmanship.
After confirming that Aunt Zhao did not rip off customers, Qiao Jia was about to turn around and leave when he saw a dozen PB guys carrying several huge vegetable basins into the store. The leader was Mr. Tong.
This old man, who was almost seventy years old, was completely forgetful. He was wearing a straight military uniform and a pistol on his waist, and he strode over.
Seeing his granddaughter here, the old man "hummed" twice, pinched the fat girl's face, and then motioned to the gangsters to send all the food into the store, while holding Boss Qiao's hand and said: " Xiao Qiao, I have to thank you for your thoughtful greeting..."
Boss Qiao can be regarded as a person who is quite understanding of the world, but he is confused at the moment. He doesn’t know when he greeted the old man and the others...
But the old man looked very happy, so Boss Qiao smiled vaguely and said: "Old man, what you said makes me unable to accept it...
Who among us is following whom?
This is your home, how can you say hello in your own home? "
Mr. Tong was so happy when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Then I'm welcome!"
As he said this, Mr. Tong pulled Qiao Jia and took a step to the side, then lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Qiao, you were not here earlier, and I asked other people, but they refused to tell me where you were.
So I took it upon myself to sign up for myself and a few older brothers to participate in the shooting competition of the amateur group. However, it has been a bit boring to compete with those guys these past two days. Can you help us get a ticket for the professional group?
I know we're old and it's a bit inappropriate to compete professionally.
But I just want to take my older brothers to practice with those professional foreigners. I don’t need to participate in formal competitions. I just want to play along during training. "
When Qiao Jia heard this, he smiled and said: "Hey, what kind of stimulation did the old man get? Don't be bullied by those foreigners...
You tell me, I'll go talk to those bastards..."
After hearing this, Mr. Tong waved his hands and said, "Hey, it's nothing...
It’s just that my old squad leader has an old-fashioned heart. He didn’t catch up with the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid C, so he spent his whole life in the southwest fighting with a bunch of local dogs. He didn’t see the excitement here, so he was a little bit..."
Qiao Jia saw that Mr. Tong was in trouble, and he smiled and said: "Old man, is there anything that can't be said...
I admire those war-like old men. They are all people who have survived through mountains of fire. I am sure that all of them are heroes.
It's their honor if the old man is willing to practice with those foreigners! "
When Mr. Tong heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I feel relieved because of your words. I was also worried that old guys like us would break your rules..."
Qiao Jia looked at the bustling commercial street, shook his head and said, "Where are the rules? It's just a bustle!"
Qiao Jia asked in a low voice: "Old man, who is your old squad leader?
If he is really capable, I will form a few teams and let him lead them. There will be town offensive and defensive games later, and that will be the real highlight of the game..."
When Mr. Tong heard this, he stared in disbelief and said, "Is this okay?"
Qiao Jia said matter-of-factly: "In this kind of competition, you don't need to go into battle yourself. As a commander, as long as you are really capable, you can also let my soldiers feel it. What a good thing!"
Mr. Tong rubbed his hands repeatedly after hearing this, then chewed his teeth and said: "Xiao Qiao, wait for me, I will ask my squad leader..."
As he said this, Mr. Tong did not give Boss Qiao a chance to speak. He strode into the store and rescued an old man with droopy eyebrows from an aunt...
The two whispered a few words, and Qiao Jia could feel the helpless old man's eyes light up from a distance of more than ten meters. Then the two old men strode to the door amidst the scoldings of the aunts. , took Boss Qiao and left...
Xiaomao watched her man being kidnapped by two old men. Just when she was about to follow him, she was seen by Grandma Tongtong who rushed out...
Old Mrs. Yuan was very high-spirited now. When she saw a few old guys with Boss Qiao, she shook her head at their backs and laughed. Then she grabbed the kitten who wanted to hang out with Boss Qiao, and then glared with her eyes straight. He asked his granddaughter and said: "I know how to play every day. Come in with me for dinner..."
As she spoke, Mrs. Yuan patted the kitten's hand and said, "When Xiao Qiao gave birth to her son, only Tongtong's mother was here, and we old ones didn't catch up..."
You have to be careful so that we old people can also be happy!
Come on, come and have something to eat with us. Afika’s food has been really hard on us these days. Today we asked a shovel to prepare some delicious dishes. After we finish eating, I’ll walk with you to eat up... "
Mao Mao is very familiar with the old lady, and also knows the relationship between Boss Qiao and Tongtong's family.
Seeing the old lady's enthusiasm, although the kitten was not used to it, she felt extra warm...
Seeing Tong Tong frowning and not wanting to go in, Mao Mao smiled at the old lady and said, "I'll trouble you then..."
As he spoke, Mao Mao waved to Kasu and said, "Let's come together..."
……………………
Boss Qiao was dragged along the commercial street for several hundred meters by a few old men, and then they sat down in a tavern...
The tavern is not too big, with only 8 square tables. It sells banana wine, a specialty of Central Africa, as well as some imported drinks.
The side dishes are nothing else, fried peanuts with a few Afica specialty nuts, a local beef jerky and a mutton soup passed down by the cooking class.
Business in the tavern is great...
When Qiao Jia and the others entered, they heard the black boss boasting that this was a classic Chinese ancient tavern decoration.
This guy is holding a copy of The Legend of the Condor Heroes in his left hand, and with his right hand he is pointing at the flying bat Ke Zhen'e on several posters of old Hong Kong Island on the wall, bragging that the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan also like his banana wine.
Qiao Jia also didn't notice that apart from the fact that the decoration was all made of wood, there was no trace of the Hua Guo Tavern in this shabby place.
However, seeing how convinced the tourists were, when faced with the inquiries of several tourists who came to take photos, Boss Qiao pinched his nose in the expectant eyes of the tavern owner and said that this kind of tavern is a place that people in the Chinese world like... …
The tavern owner was so happy that he made a table for Boss Qiao and others by the window of the tavern, and then he graciously served several bottles of banana wine and side dishes to go with the wine...
Mr. Tong seemed to have special respect for the skinny old man next to him. He signaled to Boss Qiao to dismiss the overly enthusiastic tavern owner, then unscrewed a bottle of banana wine and handed it to the old man, saying: "Monitor, take a sip!"
The old man was not polite. He picked up the wine bottle and gestured to Qiao Jia. He first drank a sip of wine for himself, then smacked his mouth in disgust and said, "This thing is just not as powerful as Erguotou..."
When Qiao Jia heard this, he smiled and waved to the boss who was standing next to him, and whispered a few words in his ear. Then the tavern owner looked at the two old men with something wrong...
He hurried to the bar, and after searching inside for a while, he brought two green bottles of Erguotou over, and then stared directly at the two old men, wanting to see how they could make this kind of food. Drink something...
Mr. Tong didn't expect that there would be Erguotou in Afika's tavern. He unscrewed the bottle cap and sniffed it, then took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and poured a glass for Qiao Jia and the old man respectively...
The old man held the wine glass, raised it with emotion and said: "I haven't had Erguotou in 5 years..."
They all say they want me to live a few more years, but they won’t allow me to do this or that. What’s the point of living? "
As he spoke, the old man raised his glass and clinked it with Boss Qiao, and said: "I, Old Duto, call you Xiao Qiao. I have to thank you. I have been shooting and hunting for the past half month, and I have really caused you trouble." …”
Qiao Jia raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, then smashed it and threw a few peanuts into his mouth to dilute the taste of Erguotou. Then he drove away the boss who looked in reverence and said to Lao Du: "No need to worry. Grandpa Tong is my grandpa. I have to call you grandpa when I see you...
I am a junior, it was rude of me not to greet you before!
Please don't be polite here. I don't have much here, but I have a lot of guns and soldiers. You are also a person who has gone through many hardships. If you want to recall the glory of the past, I will definitely welcome you here.
It's just in time that you can teach those black guys in my company a lesson! "
Speaking of this, Qiao Jia took the initiative to pick up the bottle and refilled the two old men's glasses, and then said with a smile: "How many years did the old man fight in the southwest back then?"
After hearing this, Lao Du touched two fingers and said: "Starting from 1979, a full ten years!"
After hearing this, Qiao Jia made a 'hiss' sound and said incredulously: "Isn't it a rotation battle? How could this be?"
After hearing this, Old Master Tong smiled and said: "Rotation battles are not that easy. There must always be tough guys in the front to lead the way for those newcomers.
The old squad leader was promoted to the head of the regiment that year. Later, he refused the promotion offered by the superiors, so he stayed in that place for a full ten years. "
Qiao Jia looked at Lao Du like a god, and said incredulously: "What's the goal? "
Lao Du grinned, stretched out his hand and touched his temple, saying: "I don't know, but my heart tells me that I should stay there and do what I do best...
They call it war trauma syndrome, I don't know if it's right, anyway, I haven't felt comfortable since I retired."
Qiao Jia was stunned for a moment, he smiled and raised his glass, saying: "I can understand this feeling, because I have this problem too!
I seem to feel relaxed only when I do what I do best.
I am doing a big business now, and many people say that I am a big shot, but I know that I am most comfortable only when I hold a gun! "
Old Du was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly reached out to pull the pistol from Mr. Tong's waist...
When Old Du slapped the pistol on the table, and found that Qiao Jia didn't show any nervousness, he nodded and said: "If you can think clearly, your brain is not broken. I'm afraid that those who endure the battlefield will be neither human nor ghost, and finally their wives and children will be separated from the world..."
As he said, Old Du looked at Qiao Jia with the eyes of a patient, and said: "Ours is definitely not a disease, but some people are just afraid..."
Qiao Jia suddenly realized how miserable the old man in front of him was...
He put himself into the old man's retired life, and then thought about how he suppressed his inner desires for his family and tried to make himself an ordinary and harmless old man, he would feel a little chilly...
If you want to empathize, you have to wear the shoes that others have worn and walk the path that others have walked...
Qiao Jia suddenly felt that he understood Old Du very well!
