Scholars in the courtyard.

When Yang Xiaotao woke up again, the surrounding lights were bright. Yang Xiaotao rubbed his eyes, then stretched out and made a happy sound.

Only then did I see that several people around the table were sleeping on the table.

Especially the girl named Zhang Qing opposite, her sleeves were wet with saliva.

"Daughter-in-law, okay, it's time to eat."

Seeing Ran Qiuye lying on the Gobi desert, his clothes left a mark on his face.

"Hmm~"

Ran Qiuye raised his head, his eyes still a little blurry, and then he saw Yang Xiaotao, smiling and honest. If the situation wasn't different, Yang Xiaotao would have wanted to hold him in his arms for a while.

As Ran Qiuye woke up, others got up one after another, rubbing their eyes and moving their bodies.

"We saw that you knew how to snore, and even started snoring, and fell asleep without holding it back."

"Yes, it's quite loud."

Opposite Zhang Qing rubbed her sore arms and pouted, saying, in her eyes, how could such a beautiful, kind and gentle woman like Sister Qiuye marry him.

"I snore, but it's better than drooling."

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the airport or the helicopter airport, not interested.

Zhang Qingzheng touched his wet sleeves and snorted coldly, "I want you to take care of it."

Ji Xiang rubbed her neck and said, then she thought of something, "The banquet is about to start, let's go and clean up quickly."

The next second, several people stood up at the same time and walked to the bathroom nearby.

Yang Xiaotao moved his body and felt very comfortable.

On the other side, in the reception room.

Mr. He and Li Rong both smiled when they looked at the tall, plainly dressed old woman in front of them.

"Brother, Sister Rong, I'm really flattered that you would come out to greet me."

Mr. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Brother and sister, I heard from Lao Chen that you are coming, and I feel reassured."

"Haha, when this matter is over, I will take the pig ears and go to your house to thank you."

"My brother said, I asked Lao Zhou to buy pig ears. He doesn't even know where to spend his money now. He treats this person to dinner and that person to eat all day long, and even I have to go in. How can you say that? reason."

Mr. He shook his head, "No, that's too wrong."

"How can this be? When he comes back, I will tell him something."

The two were chatting and laughing, and Li Rong on the side stepped forward and held hands, "Sister, why don't you wear the clothes I gave you last time. You, let me do this."

The two stood together, there was indeed some sharp contrast.

One is dressed plainly, in ordinary clothes, and dressed in ordinary clothes.

A man who is richly dressed, made of expensive materials, and well groomed.

Li Rong could see the embarrassment and held it with his backhand, "Sister Rong, you are wrong."

"I am just an idle person at home, doing laundry, cooking, and taking care of the housework. I should dress up carefully when I go out."

"You, it's different. We have to keep a close eye on you when it comes to foreign trade. Your face is important abroad, so don't think too much about it."

After hearing these words, Li Rong felt better, but he still decided in his heart to change clothes later.

"Okay, you two are not outsiders, let's quickly discuss what to do next."

"You don't know, this explosion made the other party confused and couldn't find the north, south, east or west."

"The team leader looked for me several times, and he was frightened when he saw it."

Mr. He was on the side to smooth things over, the two nodded and sat down holding hands.

"This is the current situation."

As night fell, Yang Xiaotao and others entered the dinner party under the arrangement of the staff.

Ran Qiuye and others around him were also curious. It was their first time to participate in a banquet of this scale. The atmosphere at the scene was tense, making some of them a little cautious.

Especially when there are dozens of tables around, with nine chairs on each table, tableware is placed on the table, and people are coming in one after another looking for seats.

According to what was said at the last meeting, the seats should be separated for men and women, and each table should have its own people, spread out and mix together.

However, because Ran Qiuye was a replacement, there were no arrangements for her, so she sat with Ji Xiang.

Originally, Yang Xiaotao wanted to go there, but the staff recognized him and took him directly to the front row. This also made several girls with him curious, because the person sitting there was not a simple person.

As people came in one after another, the delegation from Xiaozhi also began to come in.

Music sounded at the scene, and the atmosphere became warm under the cover of vocals.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, we meet again."

As soon as Yang Xiaotao sat down, he heard a voice coming from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Shuiyuan Feng he had seen in the afternoon.

"Hello, Miss Shuiyuan."

Many people around looked at him, but Yang Xiaotao was still very polite.

Shui Yuanfeng sat aside, and several people around him followed suit.

"This is Mr. Yang Xiaotao. He is a very good scholar. Although we have not known each other for a long time, Mr. Yang is impressive in terms of knowledge, especially in terms of language talent."

Shui Yuanfeng began to introduce Yang Xiaotao to the people around him. What he said made Yang Xiaotao wonder, how did she know that she was so good?

After several people heard about it, they immediately introduced themselves.

"Mr. Yang, I am Sakae Hashimoto, please take good care of me."

After Shui Yuanfeng finished speaking, the young man on the left, wearing gray half-sleeves and a pen on his collar, introduced himself respectfully.

"Hello." Yang Xiaotao replied, and then Shui Yuanfeng introduced, "Hashimoto-kun is our important partner. He has been promoting unity and cooperation with China at home. The future of the two countries should be based on unity and friendship. progress."

After Shui Yuanfeng's introduction, Yang Xiaotao said, "I am very happy to have so many like-minded comrades, and I hope we can maintain this friendship."

Hashimoto Rong nodded, and then introduced the woman next to him.

"This is Mrs. Erika Uehara, who also survived this epidemic."

Yang Xiaotao looked around and saw that the middle-aged woman in front of him looked a little downcast when talking about the epidemic, and then nodded to Yang Xiaotao.

Hashimoto Sakae continued, "In this epidemic, Mrs. Uehara's husband, son and other relatives were all killed."

Having said this, several fellow travelers around him showed sympathetic looks.

"My husband, Agoro Uehara, is an excellent designer. He once designed a very excellent rice cooker and helped the association obtain government support. He is also a good husband and father at home. My son."

Listening to Erika Uehara's narration, Yang Xiaotao did not become red-eyed like others, but looked like he was feeling the same.

On the surface, he just lowered his head to express sympathy, but when he heard about the design of the rice cooker, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

This epidemic was started by you.

After Erika Uehara finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao cleared her throat and said, "I deeply sympathize with what happened to Mrs. Uehara's family."

"In China, there are also many people who have suffered the same thing as you. They also have the same pain as you. Their family members died in the epidemic, but the living people still have to be strong to survive."

Hearing this, everyone, including Erika Uehara, nodded slightly.

"Look at it from this point of view."

Yang Xiaotao's expression suddenly became serious, "There is indeed a lack of necessary communication channels between the two of us. If we had established a relationship earlier, we could have controlled the epidemic as much as possible."

Hashimoto Sakae and Shui Yuanfeng looked at each other and nodded immediately, "You are absolutely right. This is also the purpose of our coming."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "But in the final analysis, the cause of the epidemic is the attempt of a small group of die-hard elements to undermine peace."

"So, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, I think, as an important force of the new generation, you should ask those die-hards to hand over the 'threat weapons' in their hands and let our two countries keep and study them together. Only in this way can we do it Effective elimination.”

"Only in this way can tragedy be avoided from happening again."

"What do you think?"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he looked at Hashimoto Ei and others.

On the side, Erika Uehara was moved. If she could really control it, she could prevent the disaster from happening.

But when I saw my friends at the same table lowering their heads, I immediately understood that this request was not easy.

Hashimoto Sakae and Shuiyuan Kaede didn't think so.

They were just pawns sent by the superiors to ease the relationship. How could they possibly influence their superiors?

Today, Huaxia has mushroom eggs in its hands. It completed the airdrop today. In the afternoon, the team leader held a meeting with several of them to adjust the original plan.

Moreover, this kind of unconventional anti-personnel weapon is an important means of deterrence in the hands of any country, and it is also a precious asset of their great river nation. How can they be shared with others?

Facing Yang Xiaotao's gaze, Shui Yuanfeng remained silent. Hashimoto Rong had a forced smile on his face and could only hold the cup on the table and keep drinking water.

Yang Xiaotao had already expected this. Once this is said, you will use less misery to win sympathy.

You are bringing it upon yourself, so if you suffer, don't use it to disgust others.

When several people heard this, they all fell silent.

Compared with the other tables around, it is much quieter here.

However, the young man accompanying Yang Xiaotao looked at Yang Xiaotao with admiration.

Although he couldn't understand Japanese, he knew from the looks of a few people that his comrade must have the upper hand.

His heart is red.

As the service staff began to serve the dishes, Yang Xiaotao looked at the dishes on the table and then at the people around him, and suddenly lost his appetite.

After all the food was served, two bottles of Maotai were placed on the table.

After all, entertaining foreign guests is a state banquet, so the wine used to entertain foreign guests is white wine.

All the nonsense about beer and red wine is nonsense. Here, there is only white wine.

As the host, Yang Xiaotao naturally had to take care of it. He picked up the wine bottle, opened it, and filled it up for a few people.

Regardless of gender, each person has a drink, his eyes sweep over several people, and he smiles.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

A voice came from behind, followed by another sentence in Japanese.

Immediately, the entire venue became quiet. Yang Xiaotao looked sideways and saw Mr. He and others appearing on the stage. When he saw the people around him, Yang Xiaotao quickly sat up straight and turned around.

“Everyone is welcome to come from afar”

Li Rong, who presided over the meeting, held the microphone, but he was no longer wearing a silk cheongsam. Instead, he was wearing a half-sleeved T-shirt. He was also dressed simply, a bit like an old farmer.

Li Rong said something, and the translator on the side said something. After he finished speaking, Mr. He took the microphone.

Mr. He's words were not as tactful as Li Rong's, "I hope everyone can understand each other better."

After Mr. He finished speaking, everyone looked at the kind old man aside. Those who knew him naturally listened carefully, while those who didn't know and didn't know him kept quiet.

"I am a person who has been here. I am very happy to see outstanding young people from both countries sitting together and working together to achieve great goals."

"I hope that in the coming time, everyone will deepen their understanding of each other through communication, learning, and even confrontation, and become friends with each other, and then spread this friendship so that more people can understand each other."

Papapa

Yang Xiaotao applauded immediately after the old woman finished speaking, and there was a burst of applause around her.

As the identity of the old woman was revealed, Yang Xiaotao clearly felt the excitement of those around him, and the clapping sounds were louder than his own.
