The square in front of the Parliament Building.
Jiang Chen stood on the podium in front of the building and personally placed medals on every soldier who had achieved the highest level of knighthood, and rewarded all those who had meritorious deeds. The morale in the audience was high, and everyone's faces were filled with pride.
To be awarded a medal by the leader personally is a supreme honor for little people like them.
For those soldiers who had already poured their blood on the banks of the Gan River and were unable to stand here to receive their rewards, the Logistics Department sent condolences personnel to the homes of their relatives to place medals, bonuses and pensions in their hands.
War is bound to be accompanied by death.
Although material compensation is not enough to ease the pain in the hearts of relatives of the deceased, it can at least make them feel better in the second half of their lives.
After the triumphal ceremony, Jiang Chen followed Chu Nan to the executive officer's office.
The first time he opened the office door, he caught a glimpse of a pile of papers on the table that was as high as his head.
"these are?"
"The military expense bill has just been sent... Don't worry about it, it just looks like a lot. The auction of the land certificates of Jinxi Lake Farm has allowed us to earn back the ticket price, but the workload of signing each note is still quite large. ." Chu Nan swept aside the snowflake-like pieces of paper, took out a document from the desk, and handed it to Jiang Chen's hand.
Picking up the document, which was a finger thick, Jiang Chen flipped through it.
"This is?"
"Legal documents." Hearing Jiang Chen's inquiry, Chu Nan smiled slightly proudly, "I referred to some legal books left over from the Pan-Asian Cooperation, and after consulting with former lawyers and economic experts, I came up with the The original bill has been significantly revised, including the establishment of a stock exchange, the separation of the issuance and trading of securities, futures, and land certificates from the banking system, and more standardized market supervision regulations. Please take a look."
Looking at Chu Nan, Jiang Chen nodded approvingly and closed the document in his hand, "Thank you for your hard work."
"No, this is my responsibility." Chu Nan said with a smile.
"Has anything good happened recently?" Jiang Chen asked casually.
Chu Nan was slightly stunned. A rare embarrassed smile appeared on his face, he touched his nose and asked, "How did you see it?"
"It's all written on your face, aren't you going to share it with me?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"It's not a big deal. It's mainly about the family..." Putting his fist under his nose and coughing, Chu Nan spoke quickly, "I'm going to be a father soon."
…
I'm going to be a father soon...
After getting on the helicopter and returning to Fishbone Base from the Sixth District, Jiang Chen kept thinking about this sentence.
Honestly. When Chu Nan said this, he really scared him. He always thought that this guy was not much older than him.
However, Chu Nan and Zhou Xiaoxia got married a year ago, and now his wife is pregnant. His identity also changed from a down-and-out Liudeng Town pilot to an expectant father.
From Chu Nan's body, Jiang Chen saw the traces of the passage of time.
"...Is it time to have a baby?"
Jiang Chen murmured to himself, but while thinking this, his hand took out the serum from the storage space.
Taking a deep breath, he threw the bottle back into the storage space and shook his head vigorously.
Let's wait until later to consider this issue. He is not yet ready to take on the responsibilities of a father...
YZ-51 quickly arrived at the base and stopped on the tarmac of the Fish Bone Base.
After jumping off the plane, Jiang Chen met Cheng Weiguo who came to pick him up.
On the way back to the villa, Jiang Chen chatted with him about the current situation of the base, and unexpectedly heard a lot of good things from him.
For example, last month, a new shelter was opened in the northwest of Jia City. Cheng Weiguo had already dispatched soldiers from the First Corps to pick up the looters before they arrived in the Sixth Block, and explained to them what would happen twenty years later on the surface. Condition.
It is said that those blue men who could not figure out the situation made a lot of jokes. For example, a person who lived in the original address of Block 6 in front of the station saw his house being bulldozed. He angrily came to ask for an explanation, but was thrown out of the house.
After inspection. There are no observers in the shelter, which means that this shelter is a true shelter - one that aims to preserve the population and has no special purpose. Such shelters are usually mainly dormant warehouses, so for these survivors, the transition from peaceful times to the end of the world is just a blink of an eye.
It feels like wearing a suit and carrying a suitcase in the morning. Take the suspended train to the shelter, queue up for number verification, enter the iron gate, and then lie down in the dormant cabin and sleep for a while. When I woke up, the world outside had changed.
If they were left alone, some of them might die or be enslaved. Others abandoned the restraint of civilized people and became wanderers everywhere in the wasteland.
Of course, because of the existence of NAC, they naturally no longer need to suffer these pains.
Internment, "compulsory education", and finally release into society, NAC needs their knowledge and abilities. Especially financiers and scientists, these two types of talents are in high demand in the Sixth District. In addition, people who are proficient in computer technology can also find good jobs in military zones.
After bidding farewell to Cheng Weiguo, Jiang Chen stood at the door of the villa.
He opened the door and before he could stand still, a familiar figure ran into his arms and blocked his lips fiercely.
After a long moment, their lips parted, and Sun Jiao stared into his eyes with a blushing face.
Although there were thousands of words in my heart that could not be expressed, after the reunion, only a few words were left out of my mouth.
"... Bad guy, why didn't you come back sooner?"
Jiang Chen burst out laughing.
"Laugh, what are you laughing at!" Sun Jiao glared at him fiercely.
"No, it's nothing. By the way, where is Xiaorou?"
Sun Xiaorou took the helicopter back to the base after getting off the airship. As she was not considered a soldier, she had no need to participate in the triumphal ceremony, and she didn't seem to be interested in doing so.
"She is still in the office... After telling me that you would return to the base in the afternoon, she asked me to come back first." Sun Jiao said a little embarrassed.
The younger sister who came back from outside had just put down her luggage and ran to the office to handle government affairs for her. This made her, an older sister, very embarrassed. But after thinking that Xiaorou had been alone with Jiang Chen for more than two months, the shame in Sun Jiao's heart immediately dissipated.
After relying on Jiang Chen for a while, Sun Jiao loosened her arms around his neck, leaving her remaining longing for the night six hours later.
Yao Yao, who was standing nearby, pouted and looked at the two of them eagerly. Her fingers had been playing with the hem of her skirt for a long time.
Seeing that Sun Jiao finally let go of Jiang Chen, the little girl immediately loosened her entangled fingers, put her hands behind her back, and closed her eyes nervously.
The little mouth opened and closed slightly.
It's like waiting for something...
Seeing Yao Yao's cute behavior, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh, stretched out his hand and rubbed her head lovingly.
"Why do you close your eyes? Don't you want to see me?"
"No, no!" Yao Yao immediately opened his eyes wide, and after meeting Jiang Chen's gaze, he quickly looked away with a blushing face, and continued, "I'm just looking forward to it... Ah, of course, If not, that’s not the case—Uh-huh! Uh-huh…”
The initial surprise, then joy, then happiness, finally Yao Yao gently closed her big talking eyes, enjoying the emotions that flowed from her lips.
After a long time, the lips parted.
After letting go of Yao Yao, Jiang Chen's heart suddenly jumped when he looked at the pretty red face, the big watery eyes, and the look of letting you pick. He felt inexplicably that his Lolicon soul was awakening.
At this moment, Yao Yao's blushing color had climbed from her fair cheeks to the collar of her neck.
"Hey, hey hey, Yao Yao is going to cook first. Now, let's make red bean porridge today."
Before she could recover from the afterglow of happiness, Yao Yao giggled and wandered toward the kitchen in a daze. That way makes people worry about whether she will fall.
Sun Jiao, who was watching from the side, pursed her lips.
"abnormal."
"Have I not done anything yet?"
At this time, Jiang Chen noticed Lin Ling's eyes constantly drifting here, so he turned his eyes to her and teased with a smile.
"Do you want it too?"
Lin Ling immediately blushed, jumped up like a squirrel whose tail was stepped on, and barked at Jiang Chen.
"Who, who would want it! Really, what a perverted statement, illogical... Humph!"
[I want...] Tingting raised her hands.
[You, shut up and stop making trouble!]
With red light flashing in her eyes, Lin Ling randomly suppressed Tingting, who had no concealed desire in her body, fled back to her room in embarrassment, slammed the door, leaving the two of them looking at each other. (.)
