Chapter 1,429 Interlude After the Return

The beach in the north of Koro Island is still sunny today.

It is already the third week of December, and Christmas will be in a few days. On the commercial street not far from the villa, the Christmas tree has been put out early and bells tied with red ribbons have been hung. Girls in short red cotton skirts hand out flyers on the street to warm up the upcoming sales.

In a few days it will be New Year's Day again. The red ribbons will be replaced by red lanterns, the red cotton skirts will be replaced by cool cheongsams, and the evergreen tree at the door may even just stay there. Spending Christmas and New Year's Day together is considered a custom in New Zealand. A unique landscape.

Because it was Sunday, neither Xia Shiyu nor Natasha had to go to work. Early in the morning, Jiang Chen was dragged out of the house by two energetic women and drove to the shopping street in the city center, where he spent a lot of money.

Looking at the large and small bags of clothes and bags, Jiang Chen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, rolled his eyes in the rearview mirror.

"Why didn't you go buy it while I was away?"

"What's the point of your absence?" Natasha rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, then raised her eyebrows and said in an ambiguous tone, "Okay, don't be so gloomy. I bought two new pairs of underwear. Wait. I’ll wear it for you when I get home.”

"Why don't I change it for you." Jiang Chen glanced at the shirt that was held up by his plump breasts, and curled his lips with a smirk.

Instead of showing any shyness, Natasha puffed out her chest provocatively, "Okay, this is what you said."

"Ahem!"

Xia Shiyu, who was sitting in the back seat with her arms crossed and her face red, coughed hard and rolled her eyes at the two of them angrily. It seemed that they were blaming the two of them for talking about such embarrassing topics in broad daylight and ruining the atmosphere of the family going shopping.

Listening to the bickering between the two, Ayesha's lips curled up into a smile.

During the days when Jiang Chen was away, the house was always quiet. Whether eating or sleeping, it seemed as if something was missing. Although she is a quiet person, deep down in her heart, she still approves of the current situation.

It was already evening when the group returned home carrying large and small shopping bags.

As expected by Jiang Chen, the one with the most loot belongs to Aisha. This little girl is still the same as before. She likes all kinds of fashions very much. She looks like she wants to buy but is embarrassed to say it. It's so hard to resist handing over the bank card in her pocket.

The final result was that the clothes and bags the four people bought in one afternoon could hardly fit in a car. On the contrary, Jiang Chen, who put in the most effort, only bought one belt and two pairs of leather shoes in the end. He couldn't help but hold his forehead while looking at the small mountain of shopping bags.

It’s a good thing that his family business is big enough, otherwise he really wouldn’t be able to support him...

Along the way, Jiang Chen not only had the idea of ​​using storage space to solve these "troublesomes", but thinking that Natasha was by his side, he had no choice but to give up and honestly helped the girls move their things back home. .

As soon as she entered the house, Natasha rushed into the bedroom with large and small bags in her arms. When she went upstairs, she winked at Jiang Chen, as if to hint at what she had said in the car. Jiang Chen really wanted to go up, but he had no choice but to be pulled into the kitchen by Xia Shiyu, so he had to give up.

Taking out the eggs from the refrigerator, Jiang Chen unexpectedly glanced at Xia Shiyu who was wearing an apron.

"You can also cook? When did you learn to cook?"

"I will always be okay," Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen angrily, shredded the potatoes in her hands skillfully, gently shook her delicate ponytail, and said, "I have always troubled Ayesha. No. We discussed some time ago that Ayesha will be in charge from Monday to Wednesday, Natasha will cook her Russian stew from Thursday to Friday, and I will cook on the weekends."

What the hell is Russian stew?

Jiang Chen was sweating in his heart.

He vaguely remembered that the thing seemed to be called borscht...

"Would you like to schedule a shift there?" Xia Shiyu gently raised her delicate chin, pointed to the responsibility list posted on the refrigerator, pursed her lips and smiled, "Actually, cooking is quite interesting."

"Come on,

I can scramble eggs with tomatoes, it’s not like you don’t know. Jiang Chen said with a playful smile.

"I still haven't made any progress after all these years."

"Haha, since I have you all, I just have to eat." Haha smiled. At this time, Jiang Chen suddenly noticed the apron on Xia Shiyu and couldn't help but said with interest, "Huh? I remember this apron is from Ayi Is it from Shah?"

"Finally found out?" Xia Shiyu shook the hem of her apron, pursed her lips and smiled, "How is it? Does my dress still fit?"

"Well, the fit is a bit awkward," Jiang Chen touched his chin and commented seriously, "Well, the key is height. You are much taller than Ayesha."

"So do you like tall people or petite people?"

"This... can I say that I like them all?" Jiang Chen said helplessly.

"I knew you would say that."

Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen angrily, then turned around and started chopping vegetables without saying anything.

But the faint smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden.

…

After dinner, Jiang Chen opened a bottle of champagne, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

During the time he left, the current world was also in troubled times. For example, Japan, Finland and other countries joined the Earth Defense Alliance, for example, North and South Colombia launched the second negotiation after the civil war, and for example, what is being broadcast on TV now——

An international commentator's analysis and interpretation of the US election and its eventual impact.

"We are temporarily leading in the polls," Xia Shiyu held a steaming cup of coffee, folded her arms in front of her chest, walked to sit next to Jiang Chen who was sitting on the sofa watching the news, and said with a smile, "Boston The consortium's public opinion offensive has been quite good, and supporting Mr. John F. Kennedy has become politically correct in many states."

"It's useless to say all this," Jiang Chen shook his head and tapped his index finger lightly on the armrest of the sofa. "The United States implements the Electoral College system. No matter how loud the arena between the red and blue camps on the east and west coasts is, in the end, The outcome is still determined by a few swing states."

This is what worries Jiang Chen the most.

If John F. Kennedy comes to power, then according to his agreement with the Boston Group, the United States will unconditionally join the Earth Defense Alliance, and the East-West confrontation and the new Cold War pattern will end in the bud before they escalate...

But if Trump comes to power.

It is still unclear in what direction the global situation will develop, but one thing is certain, that is, the probability of conflict between the United States and Star Ring trade will at least double.

"I have thought about this issue too," Xia Shiyu nodded, "But at this stage, we have done all we can and the only thing left is to wait for the results."

"That's not true. In fact, we can still help our allies depending on the situation." Jiang Chen looked away from the TV screen, looked at Xia Shiyu, smiled slightly and said, "Remember those who were detained in the Mars colony? American astronauts? Flights between Mars and Halo City will be launched by the end of the year, which will almost allow them to pack up and go home."
