132: Chapter 132 A well-bred young lady, unworthy of comparison.
After Jiang Chen sailed the pearl river 888 into Zhujiang Port.
He didn't stop on the sea.
Instead, he drove the small fishing boat onto the shore and parked it near the pier.
This time, Sister Li returned to the country bringing four United States aircraft carriers and the Clean and Sanitary.
Two of the aircraft carriers and the Clean and Sanitary stayed at Penglai Port in James Shoal.
The remaining two, USS Lincoln and USS Constellation, were brought back to the Pearl River.
In other words.
Three major aircraft carrier battle groups had returned to the country.
The Pearl River Military Port alone was definitely not enough.
Even requisitioning the civilian Zhujiang Port wouldn't be quite sufficient.
So.
Jiang Chen directly drove the small fishing boat out of the water.
As for the three sailing ships of the Terracotta Warriors, he also asked nearby armed personnel to help carry them to the nearby pier.
Just then.
Commander Tang Ze and his group rushed over.
Seeing Jiang Chen directing people to move the sailing ships, he was a bit stunned.
"Jiang Chen! You're finally back!"
"You're not missing any arms or legs, are you?"
"And what's the deal with these old sailing ships?"
Commander Tang Ze's mouth was like a Gatling gun, rattling off questions.
Jiang Chen looked back and smiled: "No missing arms or legs. These sailing ships were salvaged from the sea. I'm taking them back to the Longke Academy to study them first."
"Alright! If there's a big treasure, you must inform our Ministry of Oceans more often."
Commander Tang Ze said loudly.
Then.
Three Terracotta Warriors walked past him.
Commander Tang Ze glanced at them, thinking they were the two mechs that had followed him out to sea.
He couldn't help but smile: "This Jiang Chen, why hasn't he given the mechs a bath? After all that wind and sun, they're covered in mud."
"If I didn't know better, I'd think they were Terracotta Warriors."
After saying that.
He suddenly remembered something and counted the Terracotta Warriors walking past.
Three!
That's not right.
Weren't there two when they went out to sea?"
How did it become three?
Commander Tang Ze asked loudly from behind: "Jiang Chen, weren't there only two of these mechs when you left?"
While directing the Terracotta Warriors to carry Murong Aotian and Yunhai Mary, Jiang Chen looked back and smiled: "One got pregnant."
After saying that.
He said to the Terracotta Warriors: "Forward, march!"
Pregnant?
Commander Tang Ze was dumbfounded on the spot.
"This Longke Academy is getting more and more ridiculous. They can even pull off the nonsense of a pregnant mech."
A staff officer nearby frowned and said: "Commander, why do I feel like those mud people look a bit like Terracotta Warriors?"
"Terracotta Warriors? I think you're even more ridiculous!"
Commander Tang Ze shook his head and walked quickly toward the Pearl River Military Port.
Having captured so many aircraft carriers this time, the higher-ups were already taking it very seriously.
They had to be properly integrated.
Conquering so many aircraft carriers at once meant the global maritime power structure would have to be redrawn.
Jiang Chen was directing the Terracotta Warriors to carry the mechs toward the exit of the port.
Just then.
A clever monkey... oh no, a young girl, jumped down from a tree.
She shouted with great joy.
"Uncle!"
Jiang Chen was startled.
He was about to slap the person away.
Looking closely.
It was his niece, Jiang Xiaoran.
He pulled back his hand, glanced at the nearby tree, and said irritably: "I say, Jiang Xiaoran, how long have you been lying in ambush here? You're going to scare me to death!"
"You're telling me!"
"I've been waiting for you for two days. I even spent a whole day in the sun. I thought you'd been hijacked by pirates!"
Jiang Xiaoran said with a look of grievance.
"Oh, look at you, you're already in college, why are you about to cry?"
"Am I not back now?"
"Let's go!"
"I'll take you home."
Jiang Chen first had the trucks sent by the Longke Academy take all the Terracotta Warriors and mechs to the academy.
Then he called a taxi and took Jiang Xiaoran home first.
"Uncle, how did you pop out from under the warships?"
"I heard from the dock workers that there was a navigation avoidance, wasn't there?"
Jiang Xiaoran asked curiously.
She had just seen Jiang Chen from the tree, bringing several sailing ships and popping out from the gaps between the warships.
It was very strange!
Jiang Chen smiled and replied: "My main job is fishing, and my side job is repairing communication equipment and air conditioning switches for aircraft carriers."
"Air conditioning switches? You know how to do that too?"
Jiang Xiaoran was surprised.
Her uncle was truly all-around.
Jiang Chen nodded proudly: "Of course, even the aircraft carrier commander praised me for being very capable."
"What! You've even met an aircraft carrier commander? How old is he? Is he tall? Is he handsome?"
Jiang Xiaoran subconsciously thought the commander of Sister Li was a handsome guy.
Thinking of Xue Yao's reluctant appearance, Jiang Chen replied: "It's a lady. She has a husband and is still quite charming."
"On the surface, she's dignified, beautiful, and a lady from a prominent family."
Jiang Xiaoran was puzzled: "What do you mean 'on the surface'?"
"People! Of course, everyone has a side they don't show."
Jiang Chen smiled.
The two chatted.
They returned to the Qingyu Residential District.
They entered the house.
Jiang Chen bought some groceries on Dingdong and then said to Jiang Xiaoran: "There are drinks in the fridge. Get yourself something first. I'm going to take a shower. I haven't bathed in half a month."
"Half a month? Uncle, you could open a mud ball shop."
Jiang Xiaoran put down her backpack, looked around, and didn't see Xue Yao.
So she asked.
"Uncle, where's Auntie?"
Jiang Chen replied from the bathroom: "She went to her internship. She'll probably be back in a while."
"Oh!"
Jiang Xiaoran nodded, sat on the sofa, and drank some ice water.
A short while later.
The ordered groceries arrived.
Jiang Chen carried the groceries to the kitchen and handled the kitchen chores.
Jiang Xiaoran came over to help wash and pick the vegetables: "Uncle, this is too much food. It's too much for just two people."
"It's not much. Your auntie will be back in a bit."
"Really?"
The two were chatting.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening rang out.
Jiang Xiaoran was pleasantly surprised and walked toward the door: "It sounds like Auntie is back."
The door opened.
It was indeed Xue Yao.
But now, she had changed her clothes.
She was stunned for a moment when she saw Jiang Xiaoran, then recognized her and forced a smile: "Xiaoran, when did you get here?"
"I came back with Uncle."
Jiang Xiaoran replied obediently.
"Jiang Chen? Where is he?"
"In the kitchen."
Xue Yao walked to the kitchen door and glanced at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen raised his kitchen knife and greeted her: "Honey, you're back."
"Hmph!"
Xue Yao glared at him.
She turned and went back to the bedroom.
She seemed a bit huffy.
Jiang Xiaoran sensed the atmosphere wasn't right. She shrunk back and stuck her tongue out at Jiang Chen: "Auntie seems angry?"
"Normal! Women's moods are like the weather in July; they change just like that."
Jiang Chen brought the knife down and chopped off the fish head.
Clearly, she was the one who first pretended to be a female version of Cao the Thief, and he had just gone along with it.
In the end!
She was actually sulking.
Jiang Chen shook his head. While putting the fish pieces into a bowl, he looked for salt to marinate them.
But he found.
There was no salt left at home.
"Truly speechless with no salt!"
