Colorful Spirit Eyes

Chapter 119 Robbery (2)

This is a corner on the outskirts of Luanda and Longbottom's home here. From the living conditions of Longbottom, it is not difficult for Eucommia to judge how short of money Angola was at this time. As a general of a single party, Long Ba Dun was not even as good as an ordinary domestic division-level cadre.

Looking at the surroundings that were as desolate as the Gobi Desert, I stood in a small courtyard with an abrupt wooden building. Eucommia was a little speechless. The yard was not big, but the cleaning was extremely clean.

There are a few houses with the same layout scattered outside the yard, and occasionally one or two teams of heavily armed soldiers will pass through them. Longbottom, now dressed in casual clothes, strode out of the wooden building with a smile and gave Eucommia a warm hug. He babbled a lot of words that Du Zhong couldn't understand. Before Jiang Sen could translate for him, Longbottom caught sight of the man sitting next to him. This was the second time he saw this big guy, and he went up without fear. Hug and play with him.

After receiving instructions from Eucommia ulmoides, he had no intention of attacking the visitor. He looked very helpless and had to endure it, and allowed Longbottom to hug and kiss him like an appointment.

After a while, Longbottom shouted something into the room. Not long after the voice fell, three black children ran out excitedly. They also showed no fear when they saw it. They all ran up to Longbottom. Encouraged, they began to hug each other, each one looking so happy that Longbottom nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Sen leaned into Du Zhong's ear and said: This family likes lions very much. These should be Longbottom's children. He is telling the children that the lion is their family's totem. If they want to be a man, they must be as strong as a lion.

Du Zhong nodded without urging, and just watched the four father and son playing happily. At this time, a black woman wearing a headscarf came out with a smile on her face, glanced at the adults and children who were having a great time, and then politely said to Eucommia ulmoides and others with her little white teeth: Welcome Guests from the East come to our home. They and their son like lions the most, but those wild lions outside will not let people approach easily, so please don’t mind if they make you laugh. (Translated by Jiang Sen.)

Du Zhong shook his head, smiled and waved his hands and said: No, General Longbottom has such a temperament and is a good father, how could I mind. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the black woman and asked, "I wonder what you call your lady?"

The black woman smiled, stretched out her hand politely and said: My name is Julia, and I am Longbottom's wife.

Du Zhong gently shook the opponent's hand, and it was instant. He is not used to the Western hand kissing ceremony or cheek kissing ceremony, and feels that it is a hooliganism. He introduced himself with a smile: My name is Du Zhong. I am honored to be a guest at Ms. Julia’s home. Excuse me.

Julia's initial impression of Eucommia was very good. He had not seen many Oriental people. He felt that they were gentle and polite. She smiled and said to Eucommia: Come and sit in the room. Dinner needs to wait for a while. First. Take a break with a drink. After speaking, he shouted to Longbottom: Your hospitality to guests is not the etiquette that a gentleman should have.

Oh... Damn it... Longbottom, who was having a great time playing with the children, then remembered that there were guests at home. He patted his forehead and walked over quickly, and said apologetically to Du Zhong: I'm really sorry, it's my fault. Mr. Du, please come inside quickly... stretch out your hand and lead Du Zhong and others into the wooden building.

After entering the wooden building, the well-decorated hall was fully equipped with living facilities. After sitting down on the spacious sofa, Julia personally gave everyone fresh juice.

After sending the three unfinished little guys upstairs, Julia looked at the cute and lazy lying at the feet of Eucommia ulmoides. Julia smiled and said: This is really a miracle. Mr. Du can actually subdue such a beast. I have never seen it before. the first person.

Longbottom smiled and agreed: Yes, I was shocked when I first saw this big guy next to Mr. Du.

Eucommia ulmoides touched its big head and said with a smile: It followed me voluntarily and was not tamed by me. But I have only seen people like the general and his family who are not afraid of a lion. In the past, my guy would cause a lot of panic wherever he went, so the general's family is the most courageous.

The couple laughed, and Julia gently patted her husband's shoulder and said with a smile: He has always liked to deal with animals, so the children have inherited his father's personality.

Longbottom nodded and said proudly: This is what a man should be. As he spoke, he motioned Du Zhong to taste his wife's freshly squeezed juice and said: "Mr. Du, give it a try. This is squeezed by Julia herself. I rarely get such treatment on weekdays."

It can be seen that the couple get along very harmoniously. Eucommia ulmoides nodded with a smile, picked up the cup and took a sip. The sweet taste in the mouth was indeed good. After putting it down, she said something nice, and then said to Julia: "The general's wife has good craftsmanship. I am deeply honored to be treated like this."

Most housewives are very happy when others praise their craftsmanship, and Julia is obviously no exception. She smiled and joked a few words before getting up and saying: "You guys chat, I'll go see how dinner goes."

Watching Julia leave, Eucommia gave Longbottom a thumbs up and said: General, you are so lucky.

General Longbottom laughed when he heard this. He cared about his wife very much, and hearing Eucommia ulmoides' praise made the relationship between him and the latter closer.

He took out the cigarette and handed it to Du Zhong, who waved his hand and said he didn't know how. Longbottom didn't force it, he lit it on his own, smiled and said: Although this is the suburbs, it is more comfortable. He pointed to the wide area outside the house and introduced: The reason why I live here is because I can often see lions passing by.

After hearing this, Eucommia stood up and walked to the large French window and looked out. Longbottom was also standing side by side next to Eucommia ulmoides. He pointed to the distance with a smile and said: "If it is June here, there will be groups of various animals passing through. It will be very spectacular."

As he spoke, he suddenly pointed to the position in front of the right side of the two of them, and said meaningfully: And that's what you need in the East.

Eucommia was stunned when he heard this, looked in the direction of his finger, and asked: "General, are you talking about minerals?"

General Longbottom nodded slightly and said with a smile: Uranium mine.

As the saying goes, don't tell secret words in front of people, Eucommia also smiled and said: Indeed, uranium ore is indeed what we need.

General Longbottom liked Du Zhong's frankness very much and said with a smile: I wonder, at what price does Mr. Du intend to get it?

Eucommia ulmoides stretched out two fingers and said: Two hundred million...

Longbottom pursed his lips after hearing this, shook his head and said: I'm afraid it's not enough.

Eucommia ulmoides smiled, turned to look at Longbottom and asked: How much does the general say is needed?

Longbottom also turned his face sideways, looked at Du Zhong's eyes, and blew out a puff of smoke. He did not directly answer Du Zhong's question. Instead, he changed the topic and said: I have a division of troops who can listen to my command at any time. No need. By anyone’s consent.

Eucommia was stunned when he heard the words, looked at the other party's bright eyes, and suddenly his heart moved, as if he understood something. He grinned and said: That’s really a lot of power. He stretched out a finger and said with a smile: One hundred million...

Longbottom's eyes narrowed and he said dissatisfiedly: Is Mr. Du a little stingy?

Du Zhong smiled dumbly, then stared into Longbottom's eyes and said: I will give your division [-] million every year.

After hearing this, Longbottom was overjoyed and asked uncertainly: Is Mr. Du serious about what he said?

Du Zhong raised his eyebrows, raised the juice in his hand and said with a smile: Madam's craftsmanship is indeed good. I should be lucky enough to be a long-term guest in the future. I wonder if the general will welcome her?

Longbottom laughed loudly after hearing this, nodded and said: Mr. Du is very welcome to visit my home often.

Du Zhong also smiled and replied: I also hope that the general can come to my home as a guest...
