For the people of Buenos Aires, the war is over, but for the provinces, the war continues.
The army is withdrawing from the city!
However, they were just withdrawing from their garrison in the city to the suburbs. The most common men in the city were still those soldiers from Nanhua.
Their iron boots will always make a clicking sound when they step on the stones, but for people in the city, this is not important at all, because life will always go on.
As an outsider, Lai Zi's restaurant is doing very well even though he has just arrived. As one of the few Chinese restaurants in Putrajaya, it is naturally very popular among military personnel.
After someone helped, Lai Zi no longer had to be as busy as before. When he was not idle, he would always turn his attention to the foreign woman who was busy in the store, even though he knew that the man's whereabouts were unknown and his life and death were unknown.
I don't know, but that thought always pops up in his mind.
Want to marry her.
But the question is, can she like him?
"Stop thinking about it. You are already forty-three and destined to be a bachelor for the rest of your life. Just give up that thought!"
Once again, Laizi said to himself in his heart.
In his hometown village in Henan, it was too easy for a bachelor like him. His two uncles were bachelors until their death. His family was poor, so naturally he couldn't find a wife, even if he worked as a waiter in a restaurant in the town.
How about being a cook for ten years?
No, he is still too poor to afford a wife.
Is it possible for such a young and beautiful woman to marry him?
Stop dreaming...you are just a cripple.
In fact, when you save enough money later, it would not be a bad idea to buy a Japanese mother-in-law. Japanese women are obedient and have no temper, which means they are a bit short.
Compared with Amicia, there is no comparison at all. She looks like a girl with yellow hair that has not grown.
But a woman like Amicia would definitely look down on a cripple like him.
Even though Raiko was thinking this, he saw that Amicia was still sweeping the floor, so he walked over and grabbed the broom and said.
"You take a break first, take a break first, I'll do it, I'll do it..."
Looking at the boss rushing to sweep the floor, Amicia smiled slightly on her sweaty face.
"Thank you, boss."
Listening to the woman's thanks, Lai Zi swept the floor and said.
"Thank you, it's so hard for a woman to raise a child,"
That evening, when it was about to close, a customer came to the store.
"Alicia!"
"Major's wife."
It's Cosette, how did she get here?
"Where is the major's wife now? I don't know whether they are alive or dead."
Cosette, who was sitting on a chair and looking a little haggard, said.
"Bring me a bowl of soup. Those soldiers all like to eat this, but I have never tasted it."
"Is he your friend?"
Raiko asked.
"Um."
"Then put more meat!"
Soon, a bowl of hot beef soup was delivered to Cosette.
After tasting it, Cosette said.
“It tastes a little salty, but not bad.”
Then she took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, took a puff, and then said again.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, going to Uruguay."
Cosette's words surprised Alicia.
"Then I really want to congratulate you."
"What is there to congratulate? What will happen when I get there? I still have a home here, but I may not even have a home when I get there."
Looking at the South Chinese people who were busy in the store, if it weren't for them occupying the country, she would still be living the same prosperous life as before.
"He's a good man!"
Cossette said.
"Alicia, if you want to live on, marrying him or being his lover is the best choice. Don't be like me..."
"What?"
"Alicia, maybe they are dead long ago, but we have to live on, what do you think?"
Cosette left after saying these words, leaving only Alicia in a daze.
"What did that woman say to you?"
After the woman left, Laizi asked, he felt that the woman was not a good woman.
"nothing."
Alicia looked at the man in front of her. Although he was older and disabled, he was indeed a good man. If...if Wesley really died, he would definitely hope that he could
Find a good, reliable man.
And when they were alone, she could feel his scorching gaze, which made her whole body feel hot. Sometimes she even thought that if he really pounced, she wouldn't refuse.
But he has always controlled himself. He seems to have no education, but he is also a good man.
After thinking about it, Alicia said.
"Aren't you looking for a house? Why don't you stay at my place from now on!"
"What?"
When Lai Zi was puzzled, the fragrant wind and red lips that hit his face made him stunned. In an instant, a muffled roar burst out from his throat in the heat wave...
When Wesley, who was far away in Africa, was talking about his wife, he didn't know that Amicia had already lived a new life, and another man had moved into the home he missed.
For Amicia and many people in this city, life goes on.
…
From the moment they entered the city, the victors began to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Regardless of whether you are a soldier or a civilian, the fruits you enjoy are slightly different.
In fact, for those in power, the most important thing now is not enjoyment, but consolidating the fruits of victory!
Although Putrajaya has been completely occupied, Zhu Xianhai has not moved into the presidential palace in the city. He still lives in a manor outside the city.
On this day, the manor welcomed a guest from afar, actually not too far away, a guest from Uruguay.
Instead of coming here, I should go back to Putrajaya.
"Edward, we meet again!"
When he met Edward Thornton, the British ambassador to Argentina, Zhu Xianhai had a sincere smile on his face - he was showing off.
"Your Majesty, congratulations, this city is yours now!"
Edward Thornton made Zhu Xianhai laugh.
"Not the city, but the entire... region."
Zhu Xianhai did not use Argentina to describe this land, but used region. In fact, he was telling the other party that in his eyes, Argentina no longer existed.
Of course, this is also Chi Guoguo's show off, where the winner shows off.
"Although we encountered some difficulties at the beginning, this place is ours now. I wonder, Edward, how do you feel about coming here again and revisiting your old place?"
Is this asking?
Of course not. In fact, Zhu Xianhai was very curious about how Edward Thornton felt at this time. This troublemaker had planned so much behind the scenes. What was the result?
Not only was Nanhua not weakened, but it was further strengthened. As for Argentina?
Argentina is dead!
From then on, Nanhua not only occupied the Pampas, but also controlled most of the La Plata River Basin, as well as Uruguay and Paraguay.
Solving them is just a matter of time.
Once South China annexed Uruguay and Paraguay, this meant that the British layout in the La Plata River Basin for more than half a century was completely broken.
"The city is changing."
Of course Edward Thornton heard the show off in the other party's words, but that was nothing. Britain just suffered a little setback, and now it's time to start over!
"Just like the world, the world is always changing. What do you think? Your Majesty, I think it is time to re-adjust the relationship between Britain and South China."
Facing the olive branch offered by Edward Thornton, Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"So, Britain has decided to abandon Sarento?"
"No,"
Shaking his head, Edward Thornton smiled.
"Your Majesty, it's not that Britain has abandoned him, it's that he has been abandoned by his own people!"
