A good life starts with blind date

Chapter 293 The path is really wild
A woman is considered a girl as long as she is not married, regardless of her age.

This is a form of self-awareness...

In big cities, there are plenty of young women in their thirties. But in smaller towns, they are rare and would be scrutinized under a microscope. Moreover, the general perception is that if a woman in her thirties is still unmarried, there must be something wrong with her.

It remains to be seen whether there is anything wrong with the blind date that my cousin Chen Gang is on.

It just looks rather old-fashioned.

Both his appearance and his clothing made him look old-fashioned.

A woman's age is always a mystery. Kong Fangfei should be about the same age as this woman, but she looks like she's in her late twenties. She's always beautiful and exudes the charm of a young woman.

This woman's face clearly shows her age.

She looks like a woman over thirty.

While entertaining the guests, Jiang Ning analyzed the situation.

The conclusion is: weight is the culprit.

This woman wasn't fat, but her frame was larger than that of an average woman.

In addition, her clothing and styling were somewhat problematic, which is why she looked a bit older.
However, seeing the two chatting and laughing, Jiang Ning knew that it was a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

They hit it off.

My cousin, spring has arrived.

We ate and drank until 2:30 pm. The case of Moutai that my uncle Chen Xuefeng brought wasn't enough. The quality had been raised, and I felt embarrassed to take cheaper wine, so I got another case of Moutai from the hotel. These days, counterfeit goods are rampant, and I don't know if it's real or fake.

The event ended at 5 PM.

They politely declined the offer of entry to the hotel for quite some time.

Since the woman's family is the host, they should go first.

So I got on the bus and sincerely said goodbye for a long time.

The Coaster had just set off.

The car had just started moving.

Aunt Jiang asked, "How much did it cost?"

Chen Xuefeng could barely manage a smile: "Twenty-three thousand."

Mr. Jiang couldn't help but laugh: "They really went all out. No wonder they're in-laws."

Chen Xuefeng gritted his teeth: "The dishes cost five thousand, but the wine was too expensive, so I gave you eighteen thousand."

Aunt Jiang said again, "You can just take something cheaper, why did you have to take Moutai?"

Chen Xuefeng comforted himself, "I'm drinking Moutai, how can I accept cheaper liquor? Oh well, I'll just spend it. It's a rare treat to splurge once in a while. We're all about saving face in this life. Money can always be earned back."

Zhang Yuedong asked, "Have you finished the wine Jiang Ning gave you?"

Chen Xuefeng said, "No, there are two more."

Jiang Ning visits relatives every Spring Festival. Even if he is not there, he still has to send New Year's gifts to his elders. Of course, he can't bring a box of milk or something like that. Usually, he brings two packs of cigarettes and a case of wine. Every family does the same thing.

Those who love to drink have already finished theirs.

I'm keeping all the things I can't bear to part with!
The wine given to my eldest and second uncles was mostly drunk by my two cousins.

They took Bei'an and sent him home.

Jiang Ningcai returned to the farm.

It rained for a while in the afternoon, so Feng Yu and Feng Xue didn't go out.

I'm playing with my daughter at home.

Feng Yu was wearing yoga clothes and practicing yoga.

Feng Xue laid out a cushion and sat down to play Rubik's Cube with the little guy.

Jiang Ning asked in surprise, "Why are you practicing this?"

Feng Yu said, "To exercise!"

Jiang Ning said, "There are many ways to exercise; you don't necessarily have to practice yoga."

Feng Yu said, "Yoga can shape the body. Many women lose their figure after the age of thirty. I have to look beautiful so that you won't dislike me if my figure becomes deformed. So I need to start exercising early."

"Uh……"

Jiang Ning gave a thumbs up: "You have to be careful, this thing might hurt you."

Feng Yu nodded and said, "I know, I'll just practice a few simple poses, I won't do the difficult ones."

"Dad, let's give it our all!"

Jiang Tiantian held up the puzzle pieces and called out, wanting her dad to play with her.

Jiang Ning took off her shoes and sat on the cushion to play with her daughter.

Feng Yu asked her, "Have you seen Brother Chen Gang's girlfriend yet?"

"You saw him?"

What do you think?

"Just like in the photo, she looks a bit old, with a large frame, but she doesn't look fat."

"Will it work?"

"How would I know? But Chen Gang seems to be all lovey-dovey. He's chatting and laughing with everyone, even going to the bathroom together. They're inseparable. My aunt and uncle are so excited about their son's marriage that they can't sleep. I think any woman would agree to my cousin's marriage and would probably marry him."

"Why didn't you even ask around? What if there's a problem?"

"Never mind him, we can't afford to worry about that."

It's no wonder Feng Yu was so talkative; the relatives were actually gossiping about it privately.

He's in his thirties and still hasn't gotten married.

How could there not be some problems?

Either the person has a problem.

Or it could be a second, third, or even fourth marriage.

As a woman, Feng Yu understands this even more deeply.

Especially in my hometown, anyone who wants to get married and settle down would delay becoming an older single woman at the most suitable age for marriage. However, it's a matter of mutual consent, and parents are powerless to interfere.

Just like Zhang Yulong, who was blinded by greed and wanted to marry Yao Lili.

The uncle disagreed but couldn't persuade his son otherwise.

It's none of anyone else's business.

The following day, we flew to Australia.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang took their granddaughter to the city to catch a plane.

Jiang Ning is going too; he's going to Africa.

The crew arrived early and were ready for takeoff.

No need to wait any longer, just board the plane when you arrive.

This wasn't the first time Mr. and Mrs. Jiang had flown on a private jet. Jiang Ning had chartered a private jet for a family trip before, but the experience of taking a taxi was definitely different from taking their own car. Once on the plane, they looked around at everything.

It was rare that I didn't nag my son anymore.

It's so convenient to travel by private jet.

No need to wait, just get on the plane when you arrive.

Unlike commercial airlines, which always require arriving early.

When I've never flown before, it's exciting and novel, but after a while, it gets a bit annoying.

Small airports have few flights, so after communicating with the control tower, we took off directly.

Once they entered the stratosphere, Jiang Wen came over and asked if they wanted anything to drink.

"Stop working on it."

Aunt Jiang patted the person next to her and said, "Sit here and let's talk."

Jiang Wen hesitated for a moment and looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning picked up the satellite phone, ready to make a call, and said, "Just listen to my mom."

Jiang Wen had no choice but to sit down, sitting very upright.

Jiang Ning listened to several whispers while on the phone.

When Jiang's mother asked Jiang Wen why she hadn't found a boyfriend yet, she heard her mother ask.

A bit dumbfounded.

Middle-aged and elderly women all have this problem; they worry about everything.

We arrived in Guangzhou early in the morning, and took off again after clearing customs.

It's still early, but I can't fall asleep.

Jiang's mother suggested playing cards, so she invited Jiang Wen to join them for a game.

Jiang Ning played a few rounds and then got tired of playing, so he called over the maintenance crew to make up the numbers.

I went to the cockpit to chat with the pilot and learn how to fly a plane.

He can fly helicopters, but he's never flown a jet plane.

He has a strong interest in this.

After midnight, Jiang Ma finally got sleepy.

So the card game ended, and Mr. and Mrs. Jiang went to sleep on the sofa bed in the back.

Jiang Ning came out of the cockpit and laid out an empty seat to make do for the night.

Jiang Wen brought over a felt blanket.

Jiang Ning instructed, "Don't get up tonight, you should get a good night's sleep too."

Jiang Wen agreed, covered him with the blanket, and then left.

When I woke up, it was already daylight.

The sun hasn't risen yet.

I checked the time; it was just past six.

The plane flew very smoothly, with virtually no noticeable turbulence. Gulfstream business jets have a service ceiling exceeding 15000 meters, resulting in low air resistance during high-altitude cruising and a scarcity of strong turbulence. Commercial airliners, on the other hand, typically cruise at around 8000 meters, frequently encountering strong turbulence and occasional jolts, significantly reducing comfort.

Jiang Ning sat up and looked down; below was the sea.

It hasn't even flown across the Pacific yet!

However, the Australian continent is already faintly visible and not far away.

There are several small black dots in the background, which should be some small island.

I got up, washed up, and went to the back to take a look.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang are up too, and are washing their faces and brushing their teeth!

Only my niece was still fast asleep.

Children are often sleepy...

They landed in Melbourne at nine in the morning, and Jiang Ning took a walk around the farm.

In the evening, we arrived in Melbourne and flew to Goma.

……

Kinshasa, a small house.

Big Gold Tooth is writing a work summary.

Lynx rushed in: "I have news."

"what news?"

"That person is coming."

Big Gold Tooth perked up: "Really?"

Lynx said, "We received news from Goma that the person who flew in from Australia is going to land directly in Goma. Government troops have already deployed at the airport and will arrive around 4 p.m.

Big Gold Tooth asked doubtfully, "Are there direct flights from Australia to here?"

"Are you brain-dead?!"

Lynx said, "It must be a private plane. Commercial airlines wouldn't dare fly here."

"Uh……"

Big Gold Tooth slapped his forehead: "I didn't quite get it right away, let's hurry over there."

The lynx said, "What if we don't find anyone?"

Big Gold Tooth said, "We still have to go; we have to make the trip."

Lynx nodded and immediately began contacting the plane.

The land route from Kinshasa to Goma is impassable, and the Democratic Republic of Congo is in complete chaos. Various warlords and local armed groups occupy the area along the way, and the roads are so bad that even off-road vehicles cannot pass. It's 1600 kilometers long, and it might take a week to get there.

Airplanes are the best option.

The current situation is that all civil aviation flights have been suspended.

With things in such a mess, which civil aviation company would dare to fly?

Previously, a civilian airliner was shot down in Bukavu.

All the dozens of people on board were killed, including a few Chinese.

Flights have been suspended for a long time and have not resumed.

Only some military aircraft and private planes are traveling back and forth.

However, it's not safe either, as there's a risk of being shot down.

The two men, being somewhat locals, quickly made contact with an airplane.

The next day, Feigoma...

Goma Airport.

Hundreds of soldiers stood along the runway, while Kaleku stood at the end of the runway.

His face was serious, but he was actually calculating something in his heart.

To be honest, this is a great opportunity to take down that Chinese guy.

The target can be achieved with just one missile.

That thing is difficult to deal with, but everyone has enemies.

There are plenty of people willing to provide it.

But thinking about it, I'd better forget about it!

Even if we wipe out the Chinese, we won't get our hands on the Casoto gold mine.

Those mining companies in Europe and America are not to be trifled with.

Although the Chinese are quite annoying, they are also good partners. At least they don't steal our food and can help us deal with enemies. Sometimes, being tolerant can broaden our horizons. The black guy also understands philosophy.

There was a roar in the sky.

A small black dot appeared not far away.

"Let's double-check and see if there are any problems."

The sea serpent also came over and stood with Kakul.

He was followed by a dozen mercenaries.

Although Kakul was annoyed by Haimao's tone, he still turned to his adjutant and instructed, "Confirm it again."

The adjutant agreed and immediately made a phone call.

He called to report: "General, there's nothing unusual. Those guys are under surveillance."

Kakul was relieved; flying in the sky wasn't safe.

In just the last few months, two helicopters from Bukavu have been shot down.

Although the Rwandan liberation movement was driven out by that Chinese man, there are countless armed forces in North Kivu Province, including anti-government forces, various tribal armed groups, and mercenaries of unknown origin.

People's hearts are hidden behind their bellies; who knows what kind of evil intentions those guys are harboring?

What if the Chinese guy isn't on the plane and is testing me?

If the plane gets shot down, we're doomed.

Just thinking about that Chinese guy's unpredictable methods is terrifying.

We absolutely cannot allow anything to go wrong.

The black dot got closer and closer, and the outline of the airplane could already be seen.

More than ten minutes passed.

The plane circled in the sky a few times, then landed on the runway, taxied for a while, and came to a stop at the end of the runway.

After waiting for a while, the cabin door opened.

Kakul led a group of people to meet them.

Jiang Ning stepped out of the cabin and saw so many people coming to greet her.

To say I'm not happy would be a lie.

He waved and said, "Hey guys, good afternoon."

The sea serpent strode over: "Wow, boss, is this the plane you bought?"

"Of course!"

Jiang Ning gave him a high five: "You can go up and have a look."

That's fantastic.

The sea serpent was in high spirits; he had flown on many airplanes.

I've flown countless military planes.

But I've never ridden in one of those extravagant private jets.

Just as I was about to go up, the crew members came out with me.

"Hi, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon!"

The sea serpent called out, and the crew members responded immediately.

He curiously observed the group of foreigners.

It's not that I've never seen foreigners before, I'm just quite curious about who these people are.

To be honest, the boss initially said he wanted to fly to Goma.

The crew was still on edge. Everyone knew that the leader of the Democratic Republic of Congo had been shot, and there was internal strife. Planes were crashing every few days, and flights were grounded. Ever since they entered the airspace of the Democratic Republic of Congo, they had been terrified.

I'm afraid a missile might suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Only when the plane landed smoothly did I finally feel relieved.

"This guy's name is Sea Serpent!"

Jiang Ning had already greeted Kakul and introduced him to the crew: "He used to be a Navy SEAL instructor, but he was kicked out of the unit for making mistakes. Now he is my personal military advisor, in charge of security at the mine."

The crew was surprised; was this guy a SEAL instructor?

Jiang Ning then introduced Kakul: "This is Kakul, a high-ranking official in North Kivu Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. We are good friends."

The crew was even more surprised and quickly greeted them.

Mr. Jiang has quite a bit of influence...

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Sea Serpent and several mercenaries went up to inspect the aircraft.

Jiang Ning instructed the crew: "The hotel conditions in Goma are poor. I have two houses in Goma. You can stay in my house. As for meals, please cook for yourselves. I don't think you'll be used to Lao Hei's cooking."

"Ok!"

The four of them naturally had no objections, given the poor and harsh conditions in Africa.

Where can I find a decent hotel?

The boss's house must be a villa, and you can imagine that the conditions are better than a hotel.

Jiang Ning added, "I'll probably stay for three to five days. There's not much fun in Goma, and it's not very convenient to go out. For your safety, it's best if you don't go out. If you want to visit the mine, give me a call. There are guns in the mine. Liu Jun and Chen Qi can come to the mine if they want to have some fun. They can come and play in the mine for a few days."

The two captains were quite surprised; Mr. Jiang really had some wild ideas.
