C57 Fifth Chapter Chapter 57

Good things are double. Good things come in pairs.

A few days after Independence Day, Ambassador Juhua came to visit Gido. Before I came to Gido, Juhua once told me that he would come and see me soon. "Very soon. " In the blink of an eye, it became four to five months. In these four to five months, I have been looking forward to Ju Hua's arrival. Ju Hua had also said several times that he would come, but in the end, he didn't manage to succeed.

Early in the morning, I came to the airport with Brian. The plane was late, so we waited at the airport for more than three hours. When I saw Ambassador Juhua, I couldn't suppress my excitement and hugged him. My eyes became moist.

I didn't expect that Juhua would be so excited when he saw me. He punched me in the chest, held my shoulders with both hands, and carefully sized me up. Tears also flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work, Zhong Liang," Ju Hua said.

I didn't say anything. I felt a wave of tears welling up in my eyes, and I couldn't hold it in no matter how hard I tried.

"Look, Zhong Liang is so dark that he looks like an auspicious person. " Ambassador Ju Hua's wife, Lin Yi, interrupted. Lin Yi also came.

I turned around and shook hands with the ambassador's wife, Lin Yi.

"It's dark, and I've lost weight," Ju Hua said.

"Her hair is so long that she doesn't know how to reason with it," Lin Yi said. "She looks like an artist. "

I stroked my hair in embarrassment. I didn't expect the Ambassador's wife to say the same thing about me. When I reached Jido, I haven't really combed my hair. The locals don't have the habit of cutting their hair, so they don't have a hairdresser. I've cut hair for people, But I can't do it for myself. At first, I was still concerned about the length of my hair. If I really feel that my hair has grown longer, I'll just randomly cut it myself. After a long period of time, I don't care. When in Rome, he would follow the customs and grow his long hair. Sometimes, When I stand in front of the mirror and look at my appearance, I will self-deride and ridicule myself. Zhong Liang, oh Zhong Liang, if it was in China. . . You look like an artist. In Jido, you can only be a Jido like this.

"Zhong Liang, look, who did I bring today?" Ju Hua said, "When we get to the embassy, let him give you a haircut. "

I looked and saw that Ambassador Ju Hua and his wife were following Little Zhang behind them. Little Zhang was the Barber and Hostess of the embassy. I excitedly hugged Little Zhang again.

After exiting the airport, I want Brian to directly pull his luggage to the "Sea Grape Hotel. " The embassy can't stay, so I arranged for Ambassador Juhua and the others to stay at Brian's hotel.

"No, we can't directly pull it to the hotel. There are still a lot of things inside the box for you," said Lin Yi.

"Okay," said Lin Yi to Brian, "then you can follow me to the embassy, and then you can pull your luggage to the hotel. "

I'll let the Ju Hua couple take my car and Little Zhang take Brian's car.

Along the way, I drove and listened to the Ju Hua couple speak. I didn't say a word and just kept laughing. I felt like I was in a dream. I felt that everything wasn't real.

"Zhong Liang, I have to apologize to you first," Ju Hua said. "I wanted to come a long time ago, but I didn't have time. "

I didn't say anything.

"The ambassador came a few times, but he didn't come," Lin Yi said. "He first came back for a meeting. After he came back, he got sick again. "

I want to ask what illness he fell sick with. He opened his mouth but did not say it out loud.

"I don't know why, but both of us have malarial disease," Lin Yi said.

"We're playing double," Ju Hua laughed. "Mixed double. "

Hearing Ju Hua say this, I also laughed out loud. The mixed double that Ju Hua talked about, It's a classic in our diplomatic circle. When diplomats go to permanent residence in tropical countries, they will inevitably get infected. The most common is malaria. Malma was also very scary, and the malarium was lurking in the body. If it flared up all the time, it might even kill someone. Malarium was commonly known as the Scapegoat Scapegoat. When we are talking to each other, One of the topics is to ask if you are hitting the pendants. There was an ambassador in a tropical country who had a few flare-ups in a year. His wife also had flare-ups from time to time. There were people in the country who went to visit him and asked if he had ever played poker. The ambassador said, Play, sometimes solo. Sometimes mixed doubles. The two of us, one versus two, are both champions. The one he was talking about was him playing the swing alone. The mixed double was him and his wife playing the swing together. As for the champion, that was the number of times they played the pendulum at the embassy.

"It's alright, we managed to survive," Lin Yi said.

I also survived. I might have gotten a revolutionary fever. I thought, but I didn't say it out loud.

"I originally wanted to participate in Gido's Independence Day celebration," Ju Hua said, "but there was a temporary visit from a delegation in the country, so I couldn't come again. "

I wanted to say that it was nothing, but I opened my mouth, but I still didn't say anything.

When we reached the embassy, I brought Juhua couple and Little Zhang around the front and back of the room. The Ju Hua couple really liked the environment of the embassy. In particular, the Madam Ambassador likes the plants in the yard.

"What flower is that?" Lin Yi points at a bush of flowers on the ground and asks me.

I looked at the ambassador's wife and chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Yi said, "I asked what kind of flower you are. "

After the ambassador's wife said that, I suddenly realized. From the airport to the embassy, I haven't said a single word. I think I'm speechless. I spent half a year alone, communicating with others. I used English and learned a lot of native languages. In this half a year, Other than the few weeks Liu Yang stayed in Jido, I have never spoken to anyone else in my hometown. If you want to say. . . That is to say to the blondie. After the blondie went missing, I can only say it to myself. Sometimes when I say something, most of the time I don't say anything.

"This. . . Is. . . Torchlord, what's. . . Called in the country, I. . . Don't know. " I held it in for a long time before saying this.

"Right, this flower looks pretty, it does look like a torch," Lin Yi said, "I've seen it before in Kibi. I wanted to plant a few at the Ambassador's residence, but I never succeeded. "

"These flowers. . . Are not easy to plant," I said, "I. . . Had these when I moved them in. "

It was strange, but once I opened my mouth, the channels and collaterals of my words seemed to have been opened all of a sudden. I can suddenly speak normally. Although others may sound a little strange, sometimes I will stop halfway, and sometimes I will bring a few English words with me. Every time this happens, I would laugh and shake my head.

After looking at the courtyard, I arranged for Ambassador Ju Hua and his wife to stay in the living room. Help them brew tea and let them rest. I went into the kitchen with Little Zhang. Prepare the food. Madam Ambassador said that she wanted to help but was stopped by Little Zhang and me. Knowing that Ambassador Juhua and the others were coming, I started preparing the ingredients early on and even rushed to the morning market. I know that the ambassador couple likes seafood, I bought shuttle-crab, grouper, and Ming shrimp.

The ambassador's wife asked Little Zhang to take out the things they brought for me.

"Look, Secret Zhong," Little Zhang said. I'm a first-class secretary at the Kirby Embassy. He used to call me Secret Zhong.

"You can't call him Secret Zhong now. You should call him Ginseng Zhong," Lin Yi said.

"Oh, right, Ginseng Zhong," Little Zhang corrected himself. "Look, what did we bring you?"

I saw that it was steamed buns and braised pork, as well as some fresh vegetables.

"These were all prepared by the ambassador's wife, Old Li, for you," Little Zhang said.

"I knew you would definitely crave these, so I brought some for you," Lin Yi said.

"Thank you! Thank you, Madam Ambassador. "I was envious when I saw it. I quickly got Little Zhang to help steam the steamed buns and hot braised pork.

After a while, a table full of sumptuous food was served. I took out the coconut wine that I had prepared and filled it up for Ju Hua couple and Little Zhang. I also poured a cup for myself.

"I won't drink it," Lin Yi said.

"I. . . Brewed it myself," I said.

"You learned how to make wine yourself?" Lin Yi was surprised.

"Yes, I learned it from the people here. This wine has no measurement," I said.

"Then I'll try it," Lin Yi said.

"Ambassador, Madam Ambassador, thank you. . . Thank you for coming to see me. Let me toast you," Lin Yi said. After saying that, I clinked glasses with the ambassador couple and gulped them down.

"Old Zhong, let me toast you too. " Ju Hua stood up and toasted me, "It's not easy for you for the past half a year. Guarding an island nation by yourself. I will tell them that you are holding up the sky. It's not easy, congratulations. You were promoted to Counselor not long ago. I haven't had the time to congratulate you yet, and now I'm congratulating you too! There's another good thing. Your lover is coming soon. "

" You mean to say that Lu Shuqin is coming? " I can't believe my ears.

"Who else could it be?" Ju Hua said, "You must be happy now!"

I didn't say anything. I was happy in my heart, but I also smiled on my face.

"How could he not be happy?" Lin Yi said.

"There are so many good things. Come, let's have a toast," Ju Hua said.

"Thank you, Ambassador. " I stood up and raised my glass to toast with Ambassador Hua and his wife. Then, I downed the glass in one gulp.

I let Ambassador Ju Hua and the others eat more seafood. As for myself, I picked up a steamed bun. I'll eat it. To be honest, I've never eaten such a fragrant mantou in my entire life. I am from the north. I've been used to eating steamed buns since I was young. At the Kirby Embassy, because there was a chef. . . There were also steamed buns to eat. When I reached Jido, I broke the steamed buns. I can make pancakes and noodles myself. I can't make Mantou. I haven't eaten Mantou for almost five months. While eating, Sometimes I think of steamed buns and the fragrance of the noodles. That bite was so strong that it made my heart ache. As a diplomat, I can't even eat a steamed bun.

After eating a steamed bun, he remembered to eat vegetables. I picked up a piece of braised pork. After I put it into my mouth, the aroma of the meat spread out from my tongue. I haven't eaten fresh pork for four to five months. The aroma of the meat in his mouth soon seeped into his heart. Happiness was written all over his face. I eat while I eat. I say it's delicious. I thought of how I treated President Daru to a meal, and he praised the food as he ate. I must be like that now.

Ju Hua stopped eating and looked at me eating.

"Eat slowly," Lin Yi looked at me and said. "It's not like anyone is trying to snatch it from you. Don't choke. "

I smiled with a red face, thinking that my appearance as a wolf-like demon must have scared the Ambassador's wife, so I quickly slowed down my pace.

After dinner, Little Zhang took out a hairdresser and cut my hair. In the long-awaited sound of a hairdresser and scissors, my mind became relaxed after a while.

Ambassador Madam Lin Yi looked at me and smiled as she said to Ju Hua, "You see, with this reasoning, Zhong Liang will immediately return to his original appearance. "
