"What kind of bungalow is this?" Zheng Tong stood in the yard of his niece's bungalow and said with emotion: "This is simply a manor. The yard is so big. Look, in the 1930s, these rich people
Can we run horses in the yard?"
Jiang Hua sat on a chair with a big sunshade umbrella above his head, stirring the coffee: "In the 1930s, bicycles, tennis, badminton, horse racing, these sports were all considered to be the most famous foreign things in the city.
Only rich people can afford it. It’s trivial for rich people to build a tennis court or a horse racing track in their own yard.”
"You're going to give Qiu Yun such a nice house as a gift?"
Jiang Hua nodded: "Yes, if you don't give it to your own daughter, who will you give it to?"
"Then has your son considered it?"
Jiang Hua shook his head: "If he wants to live in such a good house, he has to buy it himself. This house is Qiu Yun's dowry."
"That means my son and your girl won't call each other, otherwise I will have to let my son marry your girl."
Jiang Hua waved his hand: "You still called. Your son is older than my girl. Look at what he asked my girl to clean up. He looks like a little chicken."
Zheng Tong said with a smile: "In our circle, whether it is a son or a daughter, you are the most naughty girl. Even if you don't join the army, you can inherit your group in the future, and I guarantee that it will become bigger and stronger."
"
"She doesn't have this ambition, what can I do?" Jiang Hua shook his head: "Qiu Yun's goal is to be a general, and now the goal she has set for herself is to become the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet."
"That would be difficult." Zheng Tong shook his head: "We only have one aircraft carrier now, and so many big men can't get it. Qiu Yun has too many competitors."
"We only have one aircraft carrier now, won't there be more in the future?" Jiang Hua said with a smile: "If we want to complete the rejuvenation and unify the country for thousands of years, we must have a chance with the ugly countrymen. Their family is twelve
There is an aircraft carrier strike group, no matter what we do, we still need six to eight."
"It's so easy to talk with your mouth. Do you know what a six to eight aircraft carrier strike group is and how much it costs?"
Jiang Hua shook his head: "How can this national defense force just calculate economic accounts? Besides, we are not without money. We are now the second largest economy in the world. According to our development rate, in another twenty years
In terms of time, it is not a problem to overwhelm Chou Country. We will add one ship every two years, and the goal of six to eight ships is not frivolous."
"It's easy to build and maintain. The maintenance cost is too high and the pressure on military expenditures is too great."
Jiang Hua waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry about this. We can build it and maintain it. Let me tell you, as long as we can have four aircraft carrier strike groups, first of all, the island chain will no longer exist."
"I hope so."
Jiang Hua looked around: "Our first aircraft carrier has been commissioned, and our second aircraft carrier is already in the construction process. Although it is not nuclear powered, and although it still takes off by ski jump, there are no problems in the entire construction process of our aircraft carrier.
, the construction of the third aircraft carrier is about to begin.”
"Tell me more about it."
Jiang Hua shook his head: "To tell you the details, I only know so much."
"It's boring."
Jiang Hua stood up and stretched: "Let's go, let's take you for a walk. Let's go to Pudong Baixiang Baixiang."
"What's the meaning?"
"The dialect in Shanghai is almost the same as the dialect in Beijing."
Zheng Tong nodded: "I've always heard about old restaurants in Shanghai, like Lao Zhengxing, etc. Today I'll take you to an old restaurant to eat, and I'll also try what is called thick oily red sauce."
"Okay."
The two took a taxi and arrived at the World Expo venue. The venue was being decorated at the moment, and the two of them walked around the venue.
"It looks spectacular. When we built an Asian Games Village in 1992, I thought it was amazing. Now, compared with this World Expo, it's nothing like that."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? There is a difference of eighteen years." Jiang Hua said matter-of-factly: "Eighteen years, a child has grown up. Is the capital eighteen years ago still the capital you will be eighteen years later? The Olympic Games
We’ve all organized it.”
Zheng Tong touched his hair: "It's been eighteen years. Eighteen years ago, I was an upright man in his prime, but now I have gray hair on my head."
"Young man?" Jiang Hua said jokingly: "With your little chicken figure, when did you ever get so strong?"
"make trouble."
After walking around the venue, they came to the nearby streets, where many foreigners were walking among the crowds.
"No wonder this place is called Shili Western Market. There are more foreigners than in the capital city." Jiang Hua shook his head: "More than ten or twenty years ago, how many people would have gathered to watch the Western scenery?"
"It's no longer strange now."
Zheng Tong looked at the countless cafes and beer halls on the street: "Is this the rise of petty bourgeoisie sentiment again?"
"It has never been extinct." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Drinking coffee or beer, you can't just call it petty bourgeoisie. Don't you often visit the bars in Houhai? The rock veterans who have emerged in Houhai in recent years,
There are a few you don’t know.”
"Rock and roll is a kind of power." Zheng Tong said with a smile: "Over the years, my apprentice and I have been on the same side, even Qian'er, who is also slightly famous in Houhai. Let me tell you, I can even learn to play the drums now.
Already."
"Well, when will the Rock and Roll Association hire you as the Honorary President of the Rock and Roll Association?"
Zheng Tong slapped his chest: "What's wrong, do you think I'm not qualified?"
"You are qualified, you are definitely qualified. When the time comes, you will be the honorary president, and Qian'er will be the honorary vice president." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "The fat little black guy never imagined that he would become a master and end up with his partner.
They are like close buddies, but fortunately they have the same seniority in the cross talk school, otherwise he would have to call his partner uncle."
The two of them came to the Huangpu River and looked at the Oriental Pearl Tower. Zheng Tong said with a smile: "I still remember it. At that time, I had not resigned from my government office. Every colleague who came to the magic city on a business trip liked to take photos.
"Er, from my perspective, with the Pearl Tower behind me, I'm posing in a fashionable manner. It will be a show off when I get back."
Jiang Hua immediately took out his mobile phone, and Xiaozai said to Zheng Tong: "Then you also pose, and I will take a photo of you with my mobile phone to make up for your shortcomings over the years."
Zheng Tong said proudly: "I have no shortcomings. You think I haven't taken photos. I was on a business trip in Shanghai. I didn't hesitate to stand here and take photos. I took my colleagues to the revolving restaurant."
