Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Looking at the dozen or so gold bars, Xu San reached out and touched them, and suddenly understood why Yamamoto had asked him to deliver these gold bars.

I have family members in the country.

Sister-in-law, little girl, Sister Hua, Xiao Hong—these are all my family members.

They are all my precious children; if any one of them has a problem, it's like tearing a piece of my own heart out.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for him to deliver the gold himself.

Yamamoto was a smart man. Although he was a fanatical militarist, he may have already seen the decline of the empire.

Um.
That's not right either, our little world hasn't even started a war with the big Americans yet!

The talk of decadence came after the war began.

Why would Yamamoto want him to send gold?

Actually, Xu San was overthinking it. Yamamoto simply wanted to return the gold home as soon as possible after embezzling it.

After all, the people's livelihood on their home island isn't very good, so sending more money back home can make their families live better.

Xu San was the perfect candidate; he could deliver the money without giving anyone any leverage against him.

After closing the lid containing the gold, Xu San revealed that he had already retired from the army.

Yamamoto was not surprised by this.

"There's one more thing," Xu San continued to ask.

"It's Kurosaki, isn't it? He's already retired. If he's willing to follow Xu-san, then he can. But as for others, I hope Xu-san won't ask. There aren't many veterans left in my special forces team."

Yamamoto only released Kurosaki; he wouldn't budge on the others.

Because even the landlords had no surplus grain.

That year, directly or indirectly, quite a few members of the special forces died at Xu San's hands, which could be said to have crippled them.

Finally, Xu San reluctantly handed over the motorcycle keys, saying, "I should return these too."

Yamamoto looked at the keys and smiled, "Actually, even if you don't return them, I won't mind, since the car is already damaged." Hearing this, Xu San immediately took back the keys and quickly put them in his pocket.

"With your current financial resources, buying another car shouldn't be a problem," Yamamoto asked Xu San curiously.

“It’s expensive! It’s not cost-effective to buy it yourself. Everything is expensive in China now, and imported wine is even more expensive.” Xu San stated the facts. “If we didn’t have that cement factory, I guess you wouldn’t be able to afford these things.”

Xu San patted the box containing the gold.

What are China's plans for the New Year?

"Just live it this way. This year will be better than last year. Last year, even eating dumplings was a luxury for me."

"Life will get better and better, and it will be even better once the empire unifies East Asia."

Xu San smiled but did not answer.

"Alright, I won't take up any more of your time, go back now." Yamamoto waved his hand, looking at Genki with a strange gaze.

Huanji ignored him and stayed by Xu San's side.

The fact that he didn't have to return the motorcycle made Xu San a little excited, not because it was valuable, but because he had ridden it for a year and had developed a deep attachment to it.

He's actually in his thirties, almost forty, and he always has a special affection for old things he's used.

As I rode my motorcycle home, the little girl immediately pounced on me, chattering incessantly.

After the little girl finished speaking, Xu San looked at Huan Ji and asked, "Are you going to eat here, or go eat over there?"

"I'll eat by myself!" Huanji said, turning around and disappearing into the opposite courtyard.

Watching Huanji leave, Xiaohong leaned close to Xu San and whispered, "So beautiful, it's just a pity she's Japanese."

"What, you've taken a fancy to him?" Xu San teased Xiao Hong.

"Tch~ A young Japanese guy, so handsome, he's obviously a prostitute. But speaking of which, why does he live across the street?"

"Actually, she's a female ninja! She's kind of my bodyguard." Xu San didn't hide Huan Ji's identity from Xiao Hong. (End of Chapter)
