Chapter 607: The Much-Awaited...
As the saying goes, nothing tastes better than dumplings, but is it really that simple?
Dumplings are different from other foods. You can tell the quality of other foods at a glance, but the essence of dumplings is hidden in the dumpling wrapper and the filling. You can't tell at a glance whether the ingredients are sufficient or not.
Dumplings from conscientious merchants have thin skins and large fillings. Dumplings from unscrupulous merchants may have thick skins, but the filling cannot be all leeks.
The Essex dumpling is different from those dumplings. The skin is very thick, but the filling is also very large and the meat is very rich. It is worthy of being called the most delicious dumpling.
The regulations on the use of public facilities in the garrison planned by the enterprise have not yet been fully issued, so there is nothing that can be truly concealed in the garrison. By now, it has spread everywhere, and Essex naturally knows about it.
Some people are thinking that they can have a last-ditch effort while the usage regulations are not yet fully released. But Essex is a very sensible person. Even if the usage regulations have not yet been released, she fully supports the company because she knows what the company is thinking. Su Xia was eating with oil dripping from his mouth, and Essex took away the dumpling plate in time, considering that he had eaten enough.
That night, Su Xia went to bed before twelve o'clock, slept for eight hours, and got up at eight o'clock, feeling full of energy.
Suxia walked out of the room first, followed by Essex. She was wearing a blue dress that Suxia helped her choose, with her beautiful long hair loose. She lowered her head and gently tugged at Suxia's clothes, looking uneasy.
"You finally remembered to get up." Ticonderoga's waist-length hair was tied into a neat ponytail. Ge You was lying on the sofa. He glanced at the two people with his eyes slanted and then turned back to the TV.
Hancock got up naturally and read the book without distraction.
"What do you mean by 'finally'..." Su Xia complained. For him, getting up at eight o'clock was very early.
He had long forgotten that when he first started working, he had to get up before 7 a.m., when it was just daybreak, spend half an hour getting dressed, washing, eating breakfast, and catching the company bus, and clock in at the company in the county town below the city at 8 a.m. It was not until he resigned from that company that he finally realized that clocking in for a normal company was considered clocking in when he got on the company bus.
"Isn't it 'finally' yet?" Ticonderoga muttered as he sat up from the sofa. "I heard that you usually get up around nine o'clock and go to work on time every day ... You obviously don't go to work until ten o'clock... Is that true?"
"What do you think?" Su Xia didn't want to answer Ticonderoga's question.
"I heard that you..." Ticonderoga was not a girl who liked gossip, so she just heard it.
"Where's Bell McCann?" Su Xia looked around and interrupted Ticonderoga. Without that noisy guy, she always felt like something was missing.
Ticonderoga was a person who was easily led by others. Su Xia immediately changed the subject and she replied, "He went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet."
"Oh." Su Xia responded and went to wash up as he was familiar with the place. After all, this was his third time staying overnight here.
When the two finished washing up, the bald eagle Bell McCann came back and stood on the bird stand next to the sofa. Its bird stand had been moved out of Essex's room last night. CV-16 was not there, and neither Ticonderoga nor Hancock was willing to take it in, so it had to be placed in the living room.
"What are you looking at?" Su Xia found that the bald eagle was staring at him. It must be said that the bald eagle is very handsome, otherwise it would not have become the national bird of the United States . The bald eagle Bell McCann is also very handsome, with sharp eyes and majestic and majestic, but it inexplicably gives people a funny atmosphere. It feels like the husky is handsome, but no matter who looks at it, it will feel stupid.
The bald eagle Belle McCann looked around and saw that Essex was not there. She was still washing up. Girls always have to be slower. She said harshly to Su Xia, "You bastard." Her feathers puffed up.
Essex was not there, but Hancock was. When she heard what the bald eagle said, she looked at the book without looking up and said, "Apologize."
If Hancock wasn't a ship girl, she would definitely be a killer, the kind of person who is ruthless and doesn't talk much.
The bald eagle Bell McCann didn't dare to say anything. He was a wise man who knew the situation. He almost immediately backed down, puffed up his feathers, and said, "I'm sorry."
Being in a good mood, Su Xia waved her hand and said, "I forgive you."
Bald Eagle Bell McCann was very angry, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, and dared not say anything harsh. He said: "I don't believe you stayed in Jiaozi's room... Jiaozi is so cute, beautiful and moving, but she did nothing."
"Yeah." Su Xia responded, mainly because he saw Ticonderoga sitting on the side with his ears perked up, as if ready to eat melon. He didn't like being the protagonist of gossip, but unfortunately as the only admiral of the garrison... he was not always the protagonist of gossip, but the gossip always revolved around him.
"You ate the dumplings, now you have to take responsibility for me." Bald eagle Bell McCann flapped his wings.
"What on earth are you talking about..." Su Xia felt thirsty after not drinking any water for the whole night, so she found a cup and poured some water to drink. "When have I ever been irresponsible?"
Su Xia was very confident. He was working hard to become an excellent admiral. Then he thought, this was not enough. He had a rare opportunity to talk to Essex and care about her. There were only 24 hours in a day. An admiral with hundreds of ship girls would never be able to become a responsible admiral.
Essex is a silent girl, and her pet is the other extreme. "I know you have many other wives besides Jiaozi. I don't want you to break off relations with them. I just want you to know that you are sorry for Jiaozi. She put all her heart on you, but you can only give her a little love. You should know your shame."
"I have shame, I have shame." Su Xia was speechless. He really had no right to speak on this issue.
The bald eagle raised its wings and said, "There are 24 hours in a day. I only want you to spend one hour with me, date me, talk to me, or be in a daze with me. You also need to think about me a hundred times a day and say 'I love you' to me a hundred times a day. This request is simple, isn't it?"
"I'll try my best." Su Xia replied. It seemed that she agreed, but in fact she didn't agree to anything.
"If you dare to let Jiaozi down in the future..." Bald Eagle Bell McCann said as he raised his foot and showed his sharp curved claws, "You will definitely be in trouble - ka!"
"Who are you threatening?" It turned out that Hancock reached out and grabbed its neck. "Just in case, let's make bald eagle soup tonight."
Su Xia looked at the pitiful appearance of the bald eagle. She did threaten him just now, but it was also for the good of Essex. After thinking for a while, she said, "The crime is unforgivable, but the circumstances are extenuating."
Hancock let go.
Hancock was not just pretending, she really did it, with great strength. Now that she had let go, she still felt pain in her neck, as if it was about to be broken. The bald eagle shook its head and looked at Su Xia, suddenly feeling a little grateful.
"Well," Su Xia suddenly said, "I dare not make any promises. The only thing I dare to guarantee is that I will try my best to be good to Jiaozi, care about her and take care of her. Because she is not only my ship girl, but also my wedding ship."
"Of course," Su Xia looked at Hancock, who was dressed in black as usual, with long hair neatly combed . There was also Ticonderoga. He liked to bully her, but it was because he liked her, otherwise he would not bother to say more. "Except for Jiaozi, Hancock, Ticonderoga... and Sixteen, my wife Sixteen, I will be good to everyone."
As Su Xia spoke, she walked in front of Hancock, gently grabbed her hand and kissed it. Hancock's expressionless face revealed a breathtakingly beautiful smile. Then she stood up and scratched Ticonderoga's chin, and Ticonderoga subconsciously raised his chin.
When the bald eagle Bear McCann saw this scene, Hancock, who had always looked down on it, and Ticonderoga, who had always despised it, were so docile in front of someone, and the good impression they had just accumulated towards him disappeared in an instant.
Essex quickly washed up and everyone went to have breakfast together.
Today is not the weekend, so Su Xia has to go to work. There is not much work to do in the morning, so she just deals with it casually. She spends the rest of the time reading.
Except for special circumstances, Su Xia no longer goes to the office in the afternoon. There is no work to do, so she might as well spend more time with everyone.
Everyone thinks so, including Enterprise, the secretary ship. She doesn't care if the admiral stays in the office more so that he can spend more time with her. In fact, this is also the reason why she was able to become a secretary ship in one fell swoop. She has always been a very generous person. I won't name anyone here. If it were someone else, once he became a secretary ship, he would definitely be crazy about grabbing power and promoting policies that are beneficial to him.
Su Xia took a break at noon and went to watch the exercise in the afternoon. There were unexpectedly many people watching the exercise today. In addition to the Victory, there were also Aurora, Bismarck, Nagato, Moltke, Hutten, Veneto, United Forces and others. He chatted with them for a while and learned a lot of knowledge. Sometimes chatting with everyone is also a kind of learning.
The exercise was over, and those who participated in the exercise had not yet returned to the garrison, so Su Xia left and walked from the dock to the seaside embankment.
In the summer, it was too hot. Except for the nights when the sun was not shining, there were basically no people outside. Now that it was cool in the fall, more people were outside. When Su Xia was about to leave the seaside embankment and head to the commercial building, she saw a group of children gathered on the seaside embankment and yelling something.
Su Xia saw Baffler standing among a group of children. It was not because she was quite tall among the children, nor because she had beautiful orange wavy hair, nor because she was just a girl but had a very big chest, but because she was holding a flag.
Barfleur, the first Battle-class destroyer of the Royal Navy.
In history, she was the last class of fleet destroyers of the Royal Navy in World War II. It can be said that she was the only one among her sisters who served before the end of World War II. After serving, she immediately joined the 19th Destroyer Squadron in the Pacific and experienced various operations against Japan. Of course, she didn't have any military achievements. The most glorious moment of her life was witnessing the surrender of Japan.
In the game, because it was used as an anti-aircraft destroyer in history, its air defense value before the modification has long been the highest among the unmodified destroyers. After the modification, it has become stronger, but it still cannot be ranked among the strongest.
Strength is only temporary, good looks are... Even a destroyer can be a quilt. Baffler's illustration is quite cute, especially the outfit illustration - the rowing girl.
What are so many kids doing together?
Of course Su Xia would not miss the opportunity to join in the fun. They were all his ship girls, so it didn't matter who he accompanied. He walked into Baffler and said, "Baba Baba, what are you guys doing here?"
It is said that when Baffler was first implemented in the game, due to the time left before the submission, the artist once said that he could not remember what his daughter looked like, and of course he could not remember her name. For this reason, Baffler got such a nickname.
Bavleur looked up at Suxia, waved the flag in his hand, and said, "No, Baba Baba... Admiral, you don't even know my name, do you?"
"Hahaha." Su Xia waved her hand. "How could I not know your name, Pavlov?"
"No," cried Pavlul, "not Pavlov."
"If it's not, then it's not." Su Xia said, "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Baffleur felt his blood pressure rising.
"Alright, alright, alright." Su Xia patted the girl's head lovingly, "Bavler, how could I not even remember the name of my ship girl?"
Baffler felt better, and she muttered, "The admiral is a bully."
"I bully Bavelle because I like him." Su Xia said shamelessly.
Baffleur sniffed.
"What are you doing here?" Su Xia asked.
"A race," said Baffleur, "Imagination and Terror versus Mahan."
"How could Mahan be a match for Utopian and Terrible?" Su Xia said, "Even if Utopian and Terrible often fight." The two sides are simply not opponents of the same level.
"Mahan rides her scooter, the Alfred," Baffleur explained.
"That's more like it." Su Xia nodded happily and subconsciously looked at Baffler. She was wearing a red tube top with a big hole in it and a short skirt. Isn't this the dress-up in the game? He told himself that Baffler was still a girl. "Are you the referee?"
"Yes." Baffler put one hand on his waist.
"Aren't you a rowing girl?" Su Xia said.
Baffleur said dismissively: "What about a rowing girl?"
"After running, there will be a rowing competition," said Baffler.
Soon it was the running competition. There was nothing much to say about the fact that Souhan and Kakeru fell down frequently. However, Mahan's motorcycle Alfred could transform into a machine gun that fired rubber bullets and pepper missiles, which was unexpected. It had to be admitted that Yubari had some skills, but he couldn't transform into a robot yet.
Then in the next boat race, Mahan's little motorcycle Alfred can also transform into a jet ski. Cushing and her motorboat certainly won't miss it. Willy calls on everyone to steal Iowa's amphibious motorcycle, but no one responds...
Su Xia's life in the garrison is to study in the morning and play or date with everyone in the afternoon. Now that the weather is cooler, the children have more and more activities, which is so much fun. He feels that time flies, and before he knows it, a day has passed. It's the weekend again, and it's Monday again when he has to go to work.
And so, the Holy Day came quietly.
