From arms dealer to king of war

Addis Ababa International Airport, Ethiopia!

20-year-old Qiao Liang dragged two large pieces of luggage and chased behind a fat girl, smiling and apologizing all the way.

An elderly couple followed behind them. The two old men held hands and smiled while watching the two little ones making trouble without interrupting.

After receiving the call from his elder brother, Qiao Liang decided to come over first with his girlfriend Tong Tong instead of asking his classmates to change their tickets.

As a poor second-generation person who is accustomed to breaking a penny in half and spending it, even though his elder brother sent him money every month, he still did not correct his habit.

Taking the express from the west of the capital to Guangzhou, Qiao Liang gritted his teeth and bought two sleepers in order to take care of his girlfriend.

Then we met up with my girlfriend’s grandparents in Guangzhou and took the world-famous low-cost airline Ethiopian Airlines. After spending 18 hours in economy class, we finally arrived in Addis Ababa.

Qiao Liang thought it was okay. It was the first time in his life to fly abroad, which was quite exciting for Qiao Liang.

But the same cannot be said for his girlfriend Tong Tong. This chubby girl has a great personality, but she was crushed by the itinerary planned by Qiao Liang and the terrible smell on the plane.

The most important thing is that Tong Tong's grandparents insisted on following because they were worried about the two young people. Qiao Liang's various stingy behaviors along the way made Tong Tong feel that his grandparents were laughing.

People who are used to being stingy generally don't feel their own problems, because they treat themselves and others the same way.

Compared to Tong Tong, who was exhausted from being tortured, her grandparents were very optimistic about Qiao Liang.

Tong Tong's family is very well off. Her grandparents are both retired cadres of the Planning Bureau. Since their retirement, the old couple have been flying around the world to travel.

From the early days of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, then to Bay Island and Hong Kong Island, then to the ten European countries, and then to Australia and the United States.

The two elderly people have a decent pension and sufficient sponsorship from their children, but they usually travel on a civilian route and travel on a budget, so they take the itinerary planned by Qiao Liang as a matter of course.

The old couple have traveled all over the world, what market has they not seen before? They appreciate Qiao Liang's pragmatic approach more than those young people who are poor and care about spending money frivolously.

They were not worried when they saw their granddaughter being so angry. They just followed the two young people and watched Qiao Liang's clumsy attentiveness, which made the old couple feel several years younger.

Qiao Liang controlled two huge suitcases, because one of the wheels was broken, which made him a little confused.

Chasing after Tong Tong in embarrassment, Qiao Liang said helplessly: "Tong Tong, Tong Tong, don't be angry. Isn't it okay that I was wrong?"

Tong Tong puffed up her face angrily, turned to look at Qiao Liang who was smiling, and said, "Where did you go wrong?"

Qiao Liang didn't know where he was wrong. He smiled dryly and scratched his head and said, "If you are angry, it must be my fault. Don't be angry. Grandpa and grandma are still behind~"

After hearing this, Tong Tong turned her head and glanced at her grandparents who were smiling at her. She hummed a little embarrassedly, and then she felt uneasy after thinking about it, so she grabbed Qiao Liang's hand and took a bite.

Seeing Qiao Liang's fake scream of pain, she pinched Qiao Liang twice as if to vent her anger and said, "It stinks to death, that big black fat guy on the plane stinks to death..."

As Tong Tong watched Qiao Liang laugh, she scratched him a few times angrily and said, "That guy burps and farts while sleeping, how can you bear it?

Next time I want to upgrade your cabin, if you don’t agree, I will, I will bite you to death! "

After hearing this, Qiao Liang said with an apologetic smile: "I was wrong, I was wrong, for you, I spilled all the toilet water on that guy, and he didn't mean it.

Next time, when there is a discount on upgrades, I will definitely try business class. "

Tong Tong looked at the smile on Qiao Liang's face. She muttered "liar" angrily, then put her cell phone into Qiao Liang's hand, turned around and grabbed her grandparents, standing aside. Said: "Take a picture of us. I will send it to my mother to tell her that we have arrived in Afika."

Seeing Qiao Liang nodding repeatedly, Tong Tong's grandfather stylishly took out a selfie stick and said with a smile: "If you want to take a photo, let's all come together. The young man is very nice, but you are just a pretentious girl.

When you go out to play, you must first 'play'. If you have the money to fly first class, it is better to do something more meaningful. "

As he spoke, the old man waved to Qiao Liang and said, "Xiao Qiao, come here and take a photo together as a souvenir. It's also our first time for Grandma Yuan and I to come to Afika. This time we have to trouble your brother."

Qiao Liang hurriedly came up and said, "No trouble, no trouble. My brother has been in Afika for many years. I guess he will have no problem being a tour guide for your second brother."

Upon hearing this, Tong Tong held her grandparents' arms and said cheerfully: "Old Tong and Lao Yuan, his brother is rich and has opened an animal rescue center in Central Africa, with lions and elephants in it.

He is just a stingy guy, so don’t listen to him. I called his brother and he said he could take us to Central Africa for a month. "

As Tong Tong suddenly became angry, she kicked Qiao Liangxu, then pulled her grandma to complain: "His brother booked a first-class ticket on Emirates Airlines for us, but he had to cancel it and buy a new one." , I wanted to spend money to upgrade but he didn’t agree.

Grandma, do you think this person is bad or not? His stinginess is really worrying. "

When her husband raised the selfie stick, Grandma Yuan habitually leaned on her husband's shoulder and smiled. She also grabbed her granddaughter's fat face with one hand, completing a slightly funny group photo.

After taking the photo, she checked Grandpa Tong’s skills and found that the old man’s photography skills were quite superb. Grandma Yuan then took her granddaughter’s arm and said with a smile: “How good is Xiao Qiao?

Just you, spending your parents' money seems to be very honorable.

Your mother called me a lot and asked me to keep an eye on you so that Xiao Qiao wouldn't suffer. Look, you've just gotten off the plane and you're looking down on me. "

Tong Tong glared at Qiao Liang who kept smiling, and then she said in disbelief: "What kind of ecstasy soup did this guy fill you with? Am I your biological child or is he his biological child?"

Grandma Yuan smiled and pinched Tong Tong's face and said, "I don't know. Anyway, I think Xiao Qiao is very good. I guess your mother and I think the same."

When Tong Tong saw this situation, she grabbed Qiao Liang's arm and asked with a serious expression: "Qiao Liang, tell me honestly, how did you win the favor of Mrs. Yuan?"

Qiao Liang smiled innocently and said nothing, but Mr. Tong said: "As long as we were in the capital this year, when did your grandma and I go to the hospital without Xiao Qiao accompanying us?

Repairing mobile phones, repairing computers, developing photos, picking up fishing rods, Xiao Qiao can do it all, unlike you who eat, sleep, and are heartless.

Hurry up, Ma Liu takes the salute, and Xiao Qiao needs to help you with everything. Those who don't know would think you are disabled, even worse than me, an old man who is almost seventy. "

Tong Tong is an outgoing girl. Faced with the attack from her grandparents, she covered her eyes and cried twice. When she found that they ignored her, she angrily dragged Qiao Liang and ran away...

"Come on, leave the salutes to Lao Yuan. I'm starving. There's a McDonald's in front of me and I want to eat two hamburgers."

Qiao Liang was not stingy at all when it came to eating. He easily pulled up his suitcase with broken wheels, and then explained his whereabouts to his second elder, and then he took his girlfriend and ran all the way to find something to eat.

The two of them rushed into McDonald's. While waiting in line, Tong Tong was counting his fingers to calculate how much he could eat.

"Well, I want to eat a hamburger. A chicken burger should not make you fat..."

Qiao Liang nodded and said: "You are not fat at all, you are just fine now, but don't eat too much. My brother said he would pick us up and he would arrange a meal.

If you eat too much now, it will be a pity if you can’t eat it later. "

Tong Tong turned around and glared at the disappointed Qiao Liang. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed a tall figure standing behind him...

"elder brother?"

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, looked back, and then shouted in surprise: "Brother, how did you get in?"

As he spoke, Qiao Liang grinned and hugged Qiao Jia who suddenly appeared, and then said with red eyes: "Brother, it wasn't hard when your parents left. They asked you not to worry..."

Qiao Jia felt as if his nose had been punched, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Looking at his younger brother who was about the same height as himself, Qiao Jia patted his shoulder hard and said, "It's my fault. Thank you for your hard work!"

As he spoke, Qiao Jia felt that the atmosphere was a bit solemn. He blinked hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes. Then he looked at Tong Tong and said, "Are you Tong Tong? You look much better in person than in the video. No wonder Qiao Liang This guy praises you every time!"

After speaking, Qiao Jia looked around and said, "Where are your grandparents?"

It was the first time Tong Tong saw Qiao Jia in person, and she was praised a lot when she came up. She was a little shy, and when she heard Qiao Jia's question, she pointed to the passage not far away and said: "Here we come..."

As he spoke, Tong Tong rushed out of the fast food restaurant, hopping on his feet and waving his hands and shouting: "Old Tong, Old Yuan, please hurry up..."

How could Qiao Jia let the two old people go on their way? He patted his brother on the body, walked up to him and greeted him politely.

"Hello, grandparents, I am Qiao Liang's brother, and my name is Qiao Jia."

As he spoke, Qiao Jia patted the smiling Qiao Liang on the back, and then said a little apologetically: "This guy doesn't know how to arrange it. Thank you for your hard work. I have prepared a car outside. Let's find a place to rest and eat something." thing."

Mr. Tong looked at Qiao Jia, who had a strong temperament, and then compared it with Qiao Liang, who had a simple and honest temperament. He nodded with a smile and said, "I've heard about you, but I didn't expect you to be stronger than I thought.

We came here mainly because we were worried about the two little ones, and also to fulfill our own African dream.

If it causes you any trouble..."

Qiao Jia quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, no trouble!

Qiao Liang has been very thoughtful since he was young. He has become cheerful in the past two years, which is all the result of Tong Tong and his uncles, aunts, grandparents. He deserves your care.

In my heart, you two are my own family, so don’t say it’s troublesome or not, otherwise I won’t know where to stand. "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia greeted Qiao Liang and took over all the salutes. He waved his hands to reject the two black men in suits who wanted to come up to help. Then he said to Tong Tong, who was running over, "Stop lining up. I'll let someone buy it and give it away." When you get into the car, put some space on your back and don't eat too much. I'll help you eat something good.

Even though Afika is poor, the rich people here are still willing to eat it. The beef here is very delicious. I asked your sister-in-law to arrange it, and we will have a bite together. "
