181: Chapter 181 Pomegranate Wine, Uprooting a Willow Tree
Xue Yao returned to the command room on the fifth day after giving birth.
First, her physical fitness was so strong that she recovered very quickly; even the young lady in the infirmary exclaimed that with Xue Yao's constitution, she could probably give birth to an entire aircraft carrier formation.
Second, the results of the referendum in Sri Lanka were out: 68% of the public chose to become the new Penglai Island for the Dragon Kingdom overseas, while 42% refused to become the new Penglai Island for the Dragon Kingdom overseas.
After discussing the geographical value of Sri Lanka, the capital chose to accept it.
The first step of the acceptance.
The Sister Li aircraft carrier fleet, leading the Chiyao Aircraft Carrier fleet, circled Sri Lanka!
"68+42, is this one hundred percent?"
Jiang Chen, who was in front of the television, feeding his daughter formula while watching the aircraft carrier fleet circle the island, was a bit stunned when he saw this news report.
Could it be that raising a child had lowered his own IQ?
He shook his head.
Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something.
That was, they didn't have mental arithmetic or multiplication tables abroad.
Not being able to do mental arithmetic meant they couldn't calculate combinations like 55+78 in their heads.
Not having the 9x9 multiplication table meant they could only use horizontal and vertical sticks to count the intersection points.
Jiang Chen thought to himself, suddenly remembering a joke that he found very funny, so he looked down at his daughter.
"Daughter, Daddy will tell you a story~"
Commander Jiang Qiuzhi bit on her pacifier, eyeing Jiang Chen; although she didn't speak, she blinked her big eyes.
Jiang Chen immediately spoke with great enthusiasm.
"I heard that when a certain Silicon Valley computer godfather immigrated to the Dragon Kingdom, the immigration officials gave him a simple interview, and one of the questions was 16-9..."
"The man was stunned at the time, and he racked his brains to answer, 16 minus 9, 6 minus 9, not enough, borrow one from the 1, becoming 16 minus 9..."
"16 minus 9, 6 minus 9, not enough, borrow one from the 1, becoming 16 minus 9..."
An hour later.
"Pomegranate-Simmered Wine, 6 minus 9, not enough, borrow one from the 1, becoming Pomegranate-Simmered Wine..."
"That is the origin of Pomegranate-Simmered Wine! Hahahaha."
Jiang Chen finished speaking.
He started laughing loudly himself.
Commander Jiang Qiuzhi stared at him blankly; her dad was a bit silly.
Seeing his daughter didn't laugh, Jiang Chen scratched his head: "It must be that you haven't fully developed yet, so you didn't understand. Let me tell you another one!"
Commander Jiang Qiuzhi tilted her head, pretending to be asleep.
"Uh, you don't want to listen?"
Jiang Chen held her and was about to put her back in the baby carriage.
Suddenly, he thought for a moment and said: "Do you want to go out and take a look?"
"Dad!!!"
Commander Jiang Qiuzhi immediately opened her eyes.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Come, let's put on your diaper first."
"..."
Commander Jiang Qiuzhi felt helpless, put on the diaper herself, and then was carried on Jiang Chen's back as they walked out of the nursery.
Jiang Chen carried his daughter on his back and arrived at the command room.
Xue Yao immediately trotted over and leaned in: "Why did you bring the child out? Be careful she catches a cold!"
"She won't. She opened her eyes in one day, started talking in two, and put on her own diaper in five. I think in half a month, she could punch me into the air."
Jiang Chen had a lot of confidence in his daughter.
Xue Yao helped cover the daughter with clothes and said: "This eldest daughter is growing too fast; the little son hasn't even opened his eyes yet!"
Xue Yao was a bit suspicious.
It had already been five days, but the little son still hadn't opened his eyes, and he was still being cared for by the medical soldiers in the nursery.
Although his vital signs were all normal, it had been five days.
If he hadn't opened his eyes after ten days, they would have to go back to the country to find an expert to take a look.
"Don't worry, it's just that one is precocious and one is a late bloomer."
Jiang Chen didn't care.
The eldest daughter being precocious was no problem.
The little son being a late bloomer was definitely no problem either.
"Come, boat!"
Jiang Chen walked to the deck.
He summoned the small fishing boat.
Xue Yao called out from behind repeatedly: "Watch out for the wind!"
"Don't worry, you go back."
Jiang Chen waved his hand and stepped onto the small fishing boat in one stride.
He placed Commander Jiang Qiuzhi in the co-pilot seat of the cockpit.
"How is it? Is Daddy's ride not bad?"
Jiang Chen looked at Commander Jiang Qiuzhi, and seeing her looking around with curiosity, he couldn't help but ask with a bit of vanity.
This was the first time Commander Jiang Qiuzhi had left the nursery and seen everything in this era with her own eyes.
She was indeed very surprised.
The aircraft carrier fleet sailing below was in a form of one mother and many children.
And this small fishing boat had a strange design; not only did it have wings, but it was also pulled by five clay figures riding horses.
Although it was a bit small, even the Southern Heavenly Gate had never seen such a thing.
"The only thing slightly similar might be Old Pig driving the heavenly horses."
Commander Jiang Qiuzhi thought to herself.
Old Pig's Tianpeng Black Boat was three hundred thousand li long and pulled by one hundred thousand heavenly horses.
But those were real horses.
Driven by gravitational waves.
As for the clay horses and clay figures in front of her, she didn't know where their power source came from.
Commander Jiang Qiuzhi thought to herself, then seeing her dad looking at her with a smug expression, she said: "Great! Great! It's great!"
Jiang Chen's vanity as a father was satisfied.
He smiled smugly!
He said: "I'll take you out for a spin!"
"Okay!"
Commander Jiang Qiuzhi cheered.
She wanted to see what the mother planet of this era had become.
The small fishing boat didn't travel fast.
Only about half a Mach.
Jiang Chen drove the fishing boat to the area of the Maldives in the South Indian Ocean.
However!
At this time, the Maldives had already been submerged.
Replacing it was a mountain peak pushed up by tectonic plate compression.
This mountain peak stood there like an isolated island carved by a knife.
Jiang Chen made the small fishing boat hover and slowly descend.
He let his daughter take a close look at the sea and the mountain peak in the sea.
The small fishing boat landed near the mountain peak, only about ten meters from the summit.
On top of the peak, there was a platform over ten meters in diameter, and surprisingly, a willow tree had grown on it.
"Let's go up there and enjoy the breeze!"
Jiang Chen carried Commander Jiang Qiuzhi and stepped onto the summit in one stride.
The wind wasn't strong at the summit; there was only a willow tree over ten meters tall, with dense willow leaves, and scattered rocks beside the willow tree.
However, Jiang Chen didn't pay attention to that; instead, he placed his daughter on a stone stool, preparing to take a photo of her.
"Come, make a peace sign, Daddy will take a photo of you."
Jiang Chen stepped back a few paces, preparing to get both the willow tree and his daughter into the frame.
Just then.
A huge fruit suddenly fell from the willow tree.
It smashed onto Commander Jiang Qiuzhi's head.
"Wah!"
Commander Jiang Qiuzhi cried immediately.
"Holy crap!"
Jiang Chen stepped forward quickly to check his daughter's head!
Fortunately.
No bleeding!
While blowing on his daughter's head, he asked: "Your brains didn't get scrambled, did they?"
"Wuwu, I don't know."
Commander Jiang Qiuzhi shed tears.
Jiang Chen reached out his hand, intending to carry her back: "No more playing, let's go back and see a neurologist first."
However.
Commander Jiang Qiuzhi stubbornly climbed out of the baby carriage.
She said.
"Dad, wait a moment."
As she said this.
She walked to the front of the willow tree.
Jiang Chen looked at her in confusion, stunned.
"When did you learn to walk?"
It's only the fifth day!
Are you trying to go to heaven?
Under Jiang Chen's gaze, Commander Jiang Qiuzhi walked to the willow tree that was as thick as a bucket.
"What is this little girl trying to do?"
Jiang Chen was puzzled.
He saw Commander Jiang Qiuzhi bend down, wrapping her hands around the willow tree, but she could only wrap around half of it.
Jiang Chen smiled half-heartedly: "Are you trying to uproot the weeping willow?"
The next second.
Commander Jiang Qiuzhi pulled with force, and this bucket-thick, ten-meter-tall willow tree was actually pulled out of the mountain rocks by her, a little baby, just like that!
