Chapter 408: An Unfair World
Arza was the youngest child in the family, and he had two older brothers, two older sisters, both of whom were married and did not live here, and who were married and had more than one child. His parents were old and gray-haired, but they were both in good spirits.
His mother was very hospitable, but she did not serve it at mealtime, and even if there were people in the house, she was busy greeting her.
His father is not an ordinary person at first glance, he does not smile when he speaks, and he does not talk much, giving people a strong sense of oppression, his beard is very stylish, and with the white clothes unique to the religion, it feels like the ** in the photo.
Because Arza came to study in China, he never forgot the food of China, so the chef in his family specially learned the cooking skills of China, and although the stir-fried dishes he made tasted a little strange, they were decent and looked like that.
As the locals do, everyone prays hand in hand before the formal meal.
Liu Jingxin had only watched this scene on TV, and he didn't know much about the relevant details, so he could only learn from it, and he didn't know how to get past it.
After the prayer, Liu Jingxin let go of the hand of the person next to him, opened his eyes, and saw Arza's father smiling and nodding at him, he quickly nodded in return, and said that he seemed to be fine, and the first time he prayed, at least there was nothing wrong.
Next is the formal meal, but what is embarrassing is that Arza's father did not say anything polite to Liu Jingxin and Lin Jie, and asked Arza some business matters throughout the whole process, and after asking a few questions, the meal was finished.
Fortunately, Arza's two elder brothers are more talkative, and they talked a lot about music and the Chinese music scene with Liu Jingxin and Lin Jie, and from time to time they will praise some customs and customs of China, and finally did not make the atmosphere of this meal too cold.
After sending his old father, brother and sister-in-law away, Arza let out a long breath and said to Liu Jingxin and Lin Jie: "I'm sorry, my father is like this, he only cares about work and nothing else. In the next few days, we can eat separately from them, and you don't have to be so restrained. ”
Liu Jingxin really felt that this meal was a little awkward, and when he heard Arza say this, he was naturally very happy: "Of course that's the best!"
Arza said: "You must have had a hard time this way, your driver didn't even eat dinner, and he has been asleep." I don't think it's too early, so you guys should rest early, and I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow. ”
Lin Jie said a little embarrassedly: "Will it delay your work?" I see that your father is still very concerned about your work. ”
Arza smiled heartily: "My family's business is mainly done by my two elder brothers now, I just help them run errands, I just don't go for a few days, there will be no problem." Let's go, I'll take you back to your room. With me, you can sleep soundly, it's very safe......"
Liu Jingxin is equivalent to sleeping in the car for a day, although his body has not yet recovered, and he is sore everywhere in his body, but when he lies back on the bed, he does not feel sleepy at all.
Like Pakistan, alcohol is banned throughout the country, so although this dinner is very formal, there is no alcohol.
Liu Jingxin couldn't help but think that it would be good if he could drink a little wine to relieve fatigue and help him sleep.
In the next few days, I don't know what will happen to them, but it is very important to keep their spirits up and keep their physical skills in good condition.
It was really sleepy that someone sent a pillow, Liu Jingxin was lying on the bed and wanted to drink some wine, so someone sent the wine to the door.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Liu Jingxin got up and walked to the door, looked out of the door through the door mirror, and found that it was Lin Jie and Arza standing outside.
He opened the door, and the two men immediately made a silent gesture at him, then mysteriously slipped in and closed the door with his backhand.
"Is something wrong?" Liu Jingxin was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his voice and asked.
Arza smiled "hehe" and took out a bottle of Feitian Moutai from his arms, as well as some peanuts.
Liu Jingxin was a little confused: "Where did you get it?"
Arza said: "I borrowed it from my eldest brother, and all three of us brothers like to drink your Chinese wine, and my eldest brother secretly got some through your Chinese business partner, and always drank it secretly behind my father's back. Originally, he was usually reluctant to take it out, but when you came today, he was very generous and happily lent me a bottle. It is said to be borrowed, but in fact it does not have to be returned. ”
Lin Jie raised his hand and patted Liu Jingxin's shoulder and said, "Although drinking will hurt your throat, you can't care so much when you go out." Come on, let's have a drink together, chat, and then we can get some sleep. ”
Arza nodded repeatedly, expertly uncorked the bottle, allowing the pleasant aroma to emerge from the mouth and into the nostrils of the trio.
Liu Jingxin came to Aguo for the first time, and he didn't know much about the specific situation here, so he asked with some concern: "It won't be discovered, right?"
Arza waved his hand and said, "It's okay, my father has rested, this is my house, and no one else can control me." ”
"Yes. Liu Jingxin nodded, and then he found that Arza only brought wine, not a cup, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What about the cup?"
Lin Jie shook his hand, they are all big men, what cup do you want, no one should dislike anyone, no one should be greedy, one person drinks in turns.
Arza said that the reason why he did not bring the glass was because he was afraid that there would be a residual smell of alcohol that would not be washed off, and that his father was very sensitive to the smell of alcohol, and if it was discovered, the consequences would be very serious.
Well, if you don't have a cup, you don't have a cup, anyway, alcohol sterilizes, and everyone shouldn't have any infectious diseases, so drink it in a bottle, so let's drink it like this.
This bottle of Moutai is packed in one catty, and it is distributed to everyone, that is, more than three taels of wine, and the sauce-flavored wine is not very easy to enter the throat, and no one will drink too big in one sip and not leave wine for others to drink.
The three of them drank, ate, and chatted, at first they talked about some things in the Chinese music scene, and then it slowly became Arza's storytelling, and Liu Jingxin and Lin Jie sat cross-legged on the ground and listened to the story while peeling peanuts.
I heard Arza say that Afghanistan used to be a very rich country, but because of its oil production, it was targeted by the great powers, and then the war burned, and almost everyone lived in dire straits.
In the past decade or so, the situation has improved, and some families such as Arza have become wealthy and live a life that is not inferior to that of wealthy families in developed countries, but most of the people in this country are still struggling between life and death.
Arza said indignantly: "This world, it's so unfair!"
