Chapter 891 Misunderstanding Resolved
"Hey, kid, come here and have a drink with me!" The white-bearded old man who was holding a machine gun just now was now holding a big beer barrel: "Killian, is the barbecue grill ready? First, bring us the pig's trotters made by your wife so we can have some with the wine!
The atmosphere, which had been tense just a moment ago, had now become a picnic. However, it was clear that Kasin was more popular; some people were already concerned about his marriage and wanted to introduce him to a wife.
Don’t these people think Kasim is ugly?
Xiao Peng looked around and confirmed: They definitely didn't think Kasim was ugly. These people all had fierce looks... They were definitely from the same planet as Kasim!
The tall, thin man called 'Killian' took out a few lunch boxes from the car and placed them there. "Damn it, Colin, eat less. The pig's trotters my wife makes are never enough for you alone! Chinese friend, would you like one too?"
"Of course!" Xiao Peng said with a smile, "It's full of collagen, I like it!"
Killian said directly: "I like you Chinese people so much! Unlike some hypocrites who despise pig's trotters! This is a delicacy in the world!" After he said that, he grabbed a pig's trotter and handed it to Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng didn't dislike it and took a bite. "Hmm, it tastes good!"
Don't say Westerners don't eat pig's trotters, but the Irish love them. They have a famous dish called "Cubbins," which is made by slowly stewing pig's trotters and, of course, making it inseparable from the Irish's favorite mashed potatoes. They eat it by grabbing it with their hands, a true Chinese style.
The old man with a white beard was called O'Toole. He placed the beer in front of Kasim and then took out a plastic container and put it on the ground. "This is the black pudding I made myself! Everyone come and have some."
Xiao Peng was happy, this was his favorite food, a blood-nourishing sausage containing onions, herbs, spices, oats, barley, and of course, potatoes.
The old lady's name was Saoirse. She poured a glass of rye beer into a beer glass and handed it to Xiao Peng. She poured herself another glass and said, "You guys are really cute. You think we are the 'real IRA' people, right?"
Xiao Peng did not deny it: "That's true. I didn't expect someone would hang an IRA flag so openly."
Saoirse smiled and said, "No one can deny their past, right? After all, we were members of the IRA. That's an objective fact. And we've never regretted anything we did. Everyone has a different perspective on things."
Xiao Peng hummed, "Actually, we can understand your approach at first. After all, China also achieved independence through struggle. But I won't comment on what you did later. Of course, I have no comment. After all, I'm not you. I see things differently from different perspectives. The butt determines the head!"
"I like your saying 'the head follows the butt,'" Saoirse said. "I also like your reticence. We know everyone has their own opinions on our choices, but other people's opinions really don't matter to us. No one would change their life based on someone else's words, right?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Except for celebrities. They need to value their reputation, otherwise one wrong word could ruin their future."
Saoirse smiled and nodded. "We're definitely not celebrities. No matter what others think, in our own eyes we're just people who have made a small contribution to our nation. But as you can see, we're all old now, many of us grandparents, and can no longer fight like we used to. But we dedicated our youth to this cause, a past we can't forget. So every once in a while we get together to rekindle that old feeling."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Well... I won't comment on whether your actions are right or wrong, but I can confirm one thing: you have a treasure of precious memories. I believe the saddest thing for a person isn't poverty, but sitting in a rocking chair one day in old age and thinking about how nothing worth remembering happened."
"I love you Chinese people so much!" O'Toole listened to Xiao Peng's words and said directly: "Let's have a couple of drinks later! I brewed my own rye beer. I brew the best beer in all of Meath County!"
"Miss County?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this: "We are going there."
"That's only after we've had enough to eat and drink!" O'Toole said, "This is a regular activity every time we get together!"
"Aren't you afraid of the danger of drinking and driving?" Xiao Peng asked.
Kashin gulped down his wine glass. "It's delicious! Boss, as we Russians say, 'Driving is terrible. I don't dare drive on the road without a couple of drinks!'"
Xiao Peng gave him the middle finger.
O'Toole laughed and said, "Good boy! I love what you say! If my daughter wasn't pregnant again, I would have made her divorce that wimp and marry you! You're exactly what I want!"
Xiao Peng was very happy after hearing this. If Kasim had such a father-in-law, his life would definitely be wonderful.
Saoirse looked at Xiao Peng's classic car and asked, "Are you tourists visiting Ireland? Are you here to participate in the classic car race?"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Yeah, I just happened to catch up and join in the fun."
"Then why did you take this route?" Saoirse said, "There aren't many people here!"
Xiao Peng explained, "We're just enjoying the scenery along the way. We're out here for fun, isn't that enough? We're nowhere near as good as my compatriot. Look at her! A girl traveled all the way from Chechnya to here on an old motorcycle. How impressive!"
Saoirse was a little proud after hearing this: "Of course, women are no worse than men in any way. Look at these idiots, they did all kinds of stupid things back then, and they still wanted me to command them!"
O'Toole and others protested: "Please, your command was decided by drawing lots!"
"Exactly! I don't know who it was at the time who couldn't even fire a gun. He couldn't hold the gun and let the barrel smash into his head!"
"Yeah! I couldn't learn to drive a car, I couldn't learn to ride a motorcycle, and even today I can only ride in a sidecar!"
Saoirse's face flushed red, and she raised her voice, "That's enough! What nonsense are you talking about in front of a new young friend? Hey, young man, I don't even know your name! I just heard this big guy call you boss? How can you, young as you are, be the boss of this young man?"
Xiao Peng hurriedly said, "Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. This is Kasin, this is Li Yue, and my name is Xiao Peng. I'm from China and just arrived in Ireland."
"What?" After hearing Xiao Peng's self-introduction, everyone raised their voices and looked at Xiao Peng: "Are you Xiao Peng?"
Kasim was startled. These old guys were planning to kidnap Xiao Peng, weren't they? Were they going to pull out their guns again?
