Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Chapter 54 What Should It Mean?

Mr. He spoke, which made Feng Sizhe stunned again.

Today's meal was a bit chaotic. Even though Feng Sizhe had lived two lives, he was a little confused for a while. However, when he saw the loving and proud look in his grandfather's eyes, he still nodded politely to He Wei, and then walked towards He Lao's table.

Feng Sizhe came over. Grandpa had already taken a chair from the staff and put it next to him. When he came, he bowed slightly to show his respect to everyone present, and then sat down next to Zhao Mingyuan.

Not sad, not happy, not humble, not arrogant, not irritable, not excited, these things in the eyes of He Lao gave Feng Sizhe a lot of extra points. In fact, it was not that Feng Sizhe was not irritable just now, but that Yu Lao's action was too fast and he had not reacted yet. In addition, he was used to being calm after two lives, which made people feel that he was not affected by Yu Lao's words. In fact, the waves in his heart were still very big.

At the dinner table, especially during the festive occasion of Chinese New Year, there are etiquettes for eating. First, the elders should start eating, and then the younger generation can eat. If the elders stop, the younger generation should immediately put their chopsticks down beside the table and pretend to listen, because this means that the elders are about to speak and teach the young people.

Compared to the rules at He Lao's table, the third generation of the He family, where He Wei and others were, were obviously much freer. Even Yu Lao's table had fewer rules than He Lao's. Except for the beginning when Yu Lao started eating, everyone else was very casual.

Wen Rujie and Wen Fengqin sandwiched He Shasha in the middle, one on each side. With their deliberate care, He Shasha's bowl was soon piled high with food, all of which were the work of Wen Rujie and Wen Fengqin. This was to show how much they valued He Shasha.

He Shasha couldn't say anything in front of her grandmother, so she had to lower her head and eat. At this moment, her mind was full of thoughts about what Feng Sizhe was doing now, whether her grandmother's behavior today would make him unhappy, and what she should do next.

Seeing He Shasha just lowering her head to eat without saying a word, Wen Fengqin thought that she was just embarrassed because she was a girl. In order to liven up the scene and to make He Shasha less nervous, she used her usual way of eating with people at work, constantly telling some jokes to make everyone happy.

This trick did work a bit, at least Mr. Yu was amused. As long as Mr. Yu laughed at the table, everything would be easy. If Mr. Yu was happy, everyone would be happy too. It can be said that the atmosphere at the table was quite good for a while.

Compared to the atmosphere, the atmosphere at Mr. He's main table seemed much more serious, especially when Mr. He casually asked Feng Sizhe when the next Gulf War would end and what kind of situation might occur. Feng Sizhe's answer stunned everyone. For a moment, everyone just held the chopsticks and forgot to pick up the food.

"My analysis is that the Gulf War is a localized, high-tech, modern war. With the powerful strikes of the air force, the war will eventually end with a great victory by the United States. If the war is to last, it should not exceed two months."

As soon as Feng Sizhe finished speaking, everyone at the table was stunned. Even if Feng Sizhe's article about the Gulf War was correct, there was no discussion about the specific time of the war in the article, so many people still agreed that the United States would be stuck in a quagmire like the Vietnam War. Therefore, when Feng Sizhe said that the war would end in no more than two months, everyone was a little bit unable to accept it.

"Well, what do you mean?" Wen Chaoying did not expect Feng Sizhe to judge the Gulf War in this way. Although the US military is very powerful, it is not strong enough to end such a big war in less than two months.

Seeing Feng Sizhe's "should" instead of "sure", he thought that this must be a guess. Young people are always young, and they still don't think things through when they speak, so he wanted to seize this sentence and embarrass Feng Sizhe.

Although Feng Sizhe didn't fully understand Wen Chaoying's thoughts, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing. For this reason, he smiled at Wen Chaoying, then lowered his head and continued to eat, as if he didn't hear Wen Chaoying asking him and only cared about eating.

Wen Chaoying's displeasure was immediately revealed when Feng Sizhe suddenly ignored him and left him aside. He didn't know why he, who was usually calm, couldn't help but ask a question after hearing what the young man said. Now the other party didn't seem to take his problem seriously at all, so he felt humiliated.

He Shengkuang, who was sitting nearby, saw that Wen Chaoying was ignored by the young man Feng Sizhe, and he also felt that something was wrong. After all, he was the son-in-law of the Wen family, and his wife was Wen Fengqin. He didn't want to see the Wen family being ignored, so he had to say, "Oh, this is how I understand it. War is different from other things. The situation in war is changing rapidly. Once external forces intervene, it's hard to say. I think Feng Sizhe meant that if there is no external force intervention, then this local war should end within two months."

Although He Shengkuang was not a soldier, he was born in a military family, so he naturally had more knowledge and understanding of the military than others. His understanding was also extremely correct, and it was exactly the correct interpretation of the word "should" mentioned by Feng Sizhe.
