Scholars in the courtyard

As the old woman finished speaking, another representative from Xiaozheng came on stage and said friendly words. It could be seen that the other party's demeanor was very respectful.

He was also grateful for the old woman's arrival, and the demeanor of everyone at the scene also changed.

After the opening, everyone got off the stage, and hosts from both sides came up from the side and began to host the banquet.

Yang Xiaotao no longer paid attention to the changes on the stage, but looked aside.

Right next to their table, Mr. He and others were already seated, which also meant that the banquet had officially begun.

The faces of everyone at the table also softened a lot, and with the host's activity, they started to talk more.

Yang Xiaotao was not cold-faced, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

No matter what, there are so many delicious things. If you eat one more bite, your life will be one less.

Seeing this, the others also ate dully.

I don’t know whether it’s because the master’s craftsmanship is too good or because everyone is hungry. Anyway, everyone at Yang Xiaotao’s table is eating, so there isn’t much communication.

While Yang Xiaotao and the others were eating, the party had already begun.

It started with the Chinese chorus, which sounded very impressive.

A dozen men and women sang with loud voices, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

Later, Xiaori also went up to perform two shows.

Just when Yang Xiaotao was almost finished eating, Shui Yuanfeng stood up and said politely to the other people, "We are going to prepare. Please use it with ease."

As he said this, a girl stood up on the other side. They were the ones who went to rehearse in the afternoon.

Many people at nearby tables clapped and showed their support.

Yang Xiaotao and others nodded, Hashimoto Sakae even clapped his hands, and said a few words to Shui Yuanfeng and others that everything goes well, keep up the good work.

Yang Xiaotao saw that people around him had begun to move around, especially those who had drunk wine, blushing and talking to their new friends.

"Yang Jun, I respect you!"

Yang Xiaotao was about to ask his wife to ask when she would perform on stage. The program was arranged a bit casually, but Hashimoto Sakae stood up, holding a glass of wine and said, "I can come to China this time and get to know so many young talents, especially It is an honor for me to have such an outstanding person like Yang Jun. I hope that in the future, we can communicate more and contribute a small amount to the friendship between each other."

After listening to Hashimoto Sakae's words in broken Chinese, a trace of hesitation flashed across Yang Xiaotao's face, but he quickly adjusted.

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

Although he had already guessed the purpose of coming here, which was to give them a slap in the face to wake them up when they were young and confused about their status.

Just like before, the mission was completed well.

But you can't be too deliberate, otherwise it will be either a slap in the face or a deliberate sabotage.

"Hashimoto-kun is right. May our friendship last forever."

Yang Xiaotao said simply. At first he was thinking about how to drink the wine, but now the other party brought it to his door.

No wonder he is.

After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's heroic appearance, Hashimoto Sakae lowered his head and looked at the goblet in his hand. This cup was worth two taels.

He is not usually a non-drinker, but the domestic sake is incomparable to the Chinese liquor.

Besides, this is Moutai.

Just watching Yang Xiaotao drink it, he had no choice but to hold his nose and swallow it one bite at a time.

Anyone who drinks alcohol knows, especially liquor, that if you drink it down in one gulp, the alcohol will go directly to your stomach, which will not do anything to your throat.

But it tastes like drinking water, and most people's throats really can't stand it.

But Hashimoto Sakae wanted to turn into a hero, endured the discomfort in his throat, and swallowed it hard.

Yang Xiaotao on the side couldn't see this. Without waiting for Hashimoto Sakae to eat something to moisten his throat, he immediately picked up the wine bottle and gave it to Xuanman, "Hashimoto-kun is indeed heroic. In China, drinking with friends is a matter of care."

"The more heroic you drink, the more sincere you are."

"This is my toast to you."

After speaking, Yang Xiaotao picked up the wine glass and swallowed it in one gulp without waiting for Hashimoto Sakae to speak. He saw the men and women at the table dumbfounded.

Especially the young girls who came together looked at Yang Xiaotao with a hint of admiration in their eyes.

Are all Chinese men so heroic?

Then they looked at President Hashimoto.

Hashimoto Sakae saw several people's eyes focused on him, and for a moment he felt a bit stuck.

He really can't drink.

But, I have to drink it.

Everyone around is watching, especially the Chinese people, who can’t look down upon her.

"Yang Jun, it is my honor to gain your friendship."

Make your own judgment with your brain, which is still sober for the time being.

In his opinion, those who can participate in this youth federation must be elites.

And to be able to sit in the first row is just a little worse than those who spoke on the stage, which means that the status is not simple.

Being able to build a good relationship with such people may be helpful in the future.

After saying that, he pretended to be bold and picked up the wine glass. His hands were shaking a little and the drink almost spilled.

Gudong Gudong

I drank a glass of wine slowly, and then my face turned even brighter red.

"Okay, well done. You are indeed a young hero."

"Men should drink!"

Hashimoto Rong listened and smiled knowingly.

Yang Xiaotao smiled, then picked up the wine bottle. Under the astonishment of the people around him and the horrified eyes of Hashimoto Sakae, he poured it for himself first. After only half a glass, the bottle was empty.

This made Hashimoto Sakae breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next second, the Chinese young man at the table immediately stood up and came to the next table. After saying a few words, he took the remaining bottle of wine, smiled kindly at Hashimoto Sakae, opened it and poured it for Yang Xiaotao first. superior.

"Brother Tao, cow."

The young man whispered, obviously recognizing Yang Xiaotao's identity.

It's just that Yang Xiaotao has no impression of him.

"Pour it for everyone quickly."

The young man filled it up for Yang Xiaotao, and then poured it for Hashimoto Sakae.

Yang Xiaotao did not target Hashimoto Sakae, which made the grimacing Hashimoto Sakae feel relieved again.

He was targeting the whole table.

I saw Yang Xiaotao picking up the wine glass, standing up and looking at a few people. Then the young man also picked up the glass and waited for Yang Xiaotao to speak.

"Comrades, welcome to China. There is an old saying in China that friends come with good wine."

"Today, I, Yang Xiaotao, welcome you with this glass of fine wine."

After he finished speaking, he repeated it in Japanese, and finally said, "Long live friendship."

Several people at the table also picked up their wine glasses and stood up, and then Hashimoto Sakae stood up holding the table, holding the wine glass in his hand, shaking a little.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

boom

The wine glasses clinked together, and Yang Xiaotao and the young man finished the wine. Seeing this, several other men gritted their teeth and drank. Finally, Hashimoto Sakae took a deep breath and drank half of the wine.

The rest was too much to drink.

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes and didn't care. This guy was not easy to fool at first glance. It was good to be able to get two drinks from him.

It’s just that he doesn’t know anything about Maotai’s stamina.

Especially the current Moutai, the degree is not low.

Just as a few people sat down, a group of girls in beautiful kimonos on the stage began to perform.

Yang Xiaotao looked back, showing little interest in this outfit and not paying much attention to it.

"Who are you?"

Taking this opportunity to say a few words to the young man next to him, the young man immediately whispered, "Brother Tao, I live in the same compound as Director Xu of the chemical plant, Shi Qingsong. Just call me Shitou."

"Uncle Xu?"

"Yes, last time I went back to talk about this, he told me about you."

The young man smiled and began to introduce himself.

Hashimoto Sakae is right.

No one who can come here and sit at this table has a simple status.

Yang Xiaotao, Xu Yuanshan's military academy, had been there, and all the gatekeepers outside had to work together.

As the two spoke, applause rang out again, obviously the performance on the stage was over.

"Comrades, you have watched the dance brought by your friends and neighbors. Now please enjoy the heroic and heroic appearance of the Chinese people."

The announcer finished speaking quickly, and then Yang Xiaotao saw Ji Xiang and the others wearing military uniforms, leggings, and belts. They were all young and beautiful, trotting up from the stage like charging warriors.

Yang Xiaotao looked at Ran Qiuye in the middle of the team. She had long legs, pointed feet, and a tall head. It was completely impossible to tell that she was the mother of three children.

Of course, Ran Qiuye is not the only one who is a mother here, but under this uniform, she is obviously younger.

Could it be that this is the bonus of uniforms.

Applause continued from the surroundings, and then everyone danced to the music.

Compared with the graceful dance in the previous performance, although their dance only consisted of a few simple movements, there was a sense of fearlessness in their movements.

Especially the gesture of defense and resistance made by others at the end caused a sensation in the audience, and some people even shouted "long live the victory".

In front of table No. 1, Mr. He clapped his hands, and Li Rong and Li Rong were talking quietly.

"It's great to be young."

Li Rong sighed, "Sister, you and I are old. We were like this when we were young."

"Yes, sister. However, we are old, and this burden is not light."

Li Rong nodded, but smiled again, "To be honest, I envy you a little, but it's also a pity."

"Whatever you say is so confusing that you can't understand it."

"Listen to what I have to say. I envy you because you have time and don't have to worry about these things. But it's a pity that you have time and can only do these things."

"I know that with your ability, you don't need to be at home at all."

As Li Rong spoke, the woman beside him picked up a piece of tofu with her chopsticks, "There's nothing we can do about it, the country needs us like this."

There was silence.

As the applause rang out again, several people once again turned the topic to the current party.

"These girls are nice."

The woman watched the young and passionate people walking off the stage and suddenly spoke, and Mr. He beside her also nodded.

"They are all outstanding young people, so they are naturally good."

"That's almost it. Let's go down for a walk?"

A few people nodded, and then walked off with Mr. He and others.

"Mr. He! Leader."

"Sister!"

As we got closer, the first one was Yang Xiaotao's table, but there were only four people on this table who could stand up, and the rest were lying on the table.

Mr. He glanced at Yang Xiaotao and was very surprised by Yang Xiaotao's title.

The woman looked at Yang Xiaotao and smiled, "This young comrade went to have dinner at home, and we know each other."

Li Rong's eyes narrowed, knowing that Yang Xiaotao's status was not low, but he didn't know that there was such a relationship.

"You are all young people, you should communicate well!"

Yang Xiaotao listened and looked at the people lying on the table with a smile, "Don't worry, sister, we communicate very well."

Mr. He turned his head after hearing this. The two tables were close to each other. He didn't know what was going on here.

I've long heard that this guy has an unusual capacity for drinking, but now it seems he really has something.

Looking at the few days that had passed by on the table, Mr. He had a look of satisfaction on his face.

On the other hand, Shui Yuanfeng looked embarrassed. When he came back from the stage, he saw his companion lying on the table. What happened?

Seeing the displeasure on his leader's face, Shui Yuanfeng could only lower his head, mentally cursing Hashimoto Ei and others as trash.
