Chapter 526: Silver Wedding

readx;

Originally, some people in Congress agreed, because expanding the territory was a great feat and would allow them to get out of their position at the bottom. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info learn from the Netherlands to reclaim land, which can easily cope with the pressure of future population growth and benefit the country and the people.

Unfortunately, the queen's opposition also made the parliamentarians who supported the queen express their respect for the queen and opposed this matter, and the government's negotiations had to be cancelled. The most unhappy is France, which is about to be negotiated, but at this juncture, it is divided, and success is only one step away.

And then what to do?

Naturally, the negotiations continued, and the French put pressure on Corsica, which now belonged to the French overseas territories, but the popular sentiment had almost dispersed, and Sardinia was a flicker, and even other countries could hardly resist its charm.

Some time ago, some parts of Greece wanted to follow the example of Sardinia and also sell themselves to the queen. But the government didn't say anything, because they were too far apart, and it was not interesting to ask for that piece of land. Now Corsica has seized a good opportunity, but it is a pity for everyone to disagree on key issues.

Things have not yet developed to the point of failure, and negotiations on this point continue. The response from there suggested that they would hold a referendum on whether to be included as two provinces, or whether to firmly establish the United Kingdom - and then remain under French control and unable to secede.

When Christmas arrived, the queen gave a rare speech.

In addition to congratulating Christmas and confirming the payment of per capita benefits, there is also a summary of the government and the country over the past year, and a few expectations for the future. It also let the people know about the queen's attitude in the transaction. A subsequent investigation by the roadside community showed that there were still countless people who firmly supported her.

The Christmas holidays are followed by the New Year.

This year, Moncalieri was in a very New Year's spirit, with members of the royal family who were all present, and the parents of An Feng and Joanna were invited to attend, even if their relatives were busy with work. Also arrived on time. From grandparents to grandchildren, four generations are in the same house, which is especially lively.

Because this year is commemorative, first of all, the couple's 25th silver wedding anniversary, and secondly, "2040" is an integer year, and they have not been together for a long time. The children grow up. As parents get older, everyone has a lot to say, whether it's memories or prospects.

The happiest thing is the children, free and lively, you can see familiar faces, including Andy, who has already started a family in Sardinia and was canonized as a viscount by the Queen, who also applied for Sardinian citizenship after graduating from university and decisively came here to develop. Be part of the family.

Because the family business is too large and the number of people is small, capable relatives can work in the company. Andy is currently working for Bida Corporation, managing the marketing of high-end luxury beverages, and has a happy family, with a charming Spanish wife and three lovely children.

There are many children in the house. In addition to Andy's, there is also Xiaoyu's.

An Feng's parents are very fond of their great-grandson, until now. The child's mother has not been able to touch her child, and the little boy is indeed quite popular...... Ms. Liu's husband, Zhang Kai, is talking to Frank about Chinese cuisine. An Feng's parents-in-law planned to taste all the eight dishes many years ago, and Zhang Kai knew a lot and had a lot of fun. In the face of Frank, he didn't have the restraint to get along with An Feng.

This is a strange phenomenon. Maybe it's because of the identity of the couple, and Zhang Kai's family was an early group of immigrants, and those residents have great respect for the royal family, which also makes this attitude continue, making An Feng feel like a police question every time he communicates with him. There are many questions and answers.

Before dinner, everyone gathers in the living room.

An Feng and an attendant holding a gift box came in, and he stood in front of the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a gift here, please receive it in order!" ”

"What is it?" The children asked.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" An Feng said, "Here are two commemorative silver wedding coins for me and Joanna, plus two commemorative stamps and a small surprise. ”

"Children, one after the other, from childhood to adulthood!" Frank said on the sidelines.

The children were arranged in order of age and height, and Alice stood in the first place embarrassedly, and stretched out her hand to An Feng with a smile: "Dad." ”

"For you." An Feng put the gift in her hand, "The next one is Fred's, and my lovely Wendy and Janet's ......"

An Feng sent the beautifully packaged gift down, and everyone opened it one after another.

Inside are two different commemorative coins, made of sterling silver, with a portrait of the husband and wife on one side and the Montcalieri Palace on the other, surrounded by "Giovanna and Alessio", with the Arabic numeral "25" in the center, and the other is similar, but written in English.

Commemorative stamps are multi-colored and are issued in limited editions like silver coins. The last little surprise is a cartoon villain made of crystal, the protagonists are An Feng and Joanna, carefully crafted and very attractive. Both adults and children can't put it down, and they praise it beautifully.

……

After the lively New Year, there is still a period of time for the family to gather, which is considered as a vacation, and they are free to walk around and visit some cities, such as the artificial island, which is full of science fiction on the sea, or the fantasy sky gardens, or the still warm beaches in the north.

An Feng and Joanna were going to receive other friends and also give commemorative coins and gifts.

The first to receive were the old guys of the consortium, who came to celebrate the couple's silver wedding and commemorate the 25 years they have walked together. Their sons and daughters, as well as other branches, also appeared. and An Feng and Joanna's respective friends were also invited over to celebrate.

Everyone has a successful career and a good life, and of course there will be their own troubles, but this is life. The two, who are known as model couples, have also had quarrels. It is worth mentioning that Matthew's daughter, Catherine after marriage, finally stabilized and had children, and her smile was sincere and happy...... If he dares not to get along again, Matthew is afraid that he will arrest those scumbags and go to the sea reclamation.

Matthew's mother, the old lady who was the first to be optimistic about An Feng, was too old to come in person because she was unwell, but she also sent her blessings at home in England. Bazel brought the gift for her. His grandchildren, Carl and Margaret, grinned and begged Joanna for a commemorative coin.

Wang Keke, who both husband and wife care about, has also found a home, and he gets along very well with Mike, and he is brought to the royal social scene, which shows the importance of ...... Joanna's friend, decades-old best friend Isabella. The child is ten years old, and Joanna laughed at it as the end of French romance, and some of her classmates, Daisy, the girl of the year, also started a family and worked as a senior executive in GP companies in the United States......

After a series of gatherings. Joanna asked An Feng, "Where's my gift?" ”

An Feng smiled and hugged her: "Can you give me to you?" ”

"Perfunctory!" She wasn't satisfied.

An Feng kissed her: "What about this?" ”

"Not enough." She put her arms around An Feng's neck, "I make a wish, and you are responsible for making it happen!" ”

"Hmm." He nodded.

"Next time for the golden wedding anniversary, you will also hug me and kiss me as you do now." She said.

"I promise, it's the same with diamond weddings." An Feng said.

"Still holding it?" She smiled.

"No problem, I was 87 years old at the time." An Feng said confidently, "There is another one that is this posture, this kind of close range." ”

"Pass!" She said.

An Feng took her hand: "It's a failure not to prepare a gift for you." But I'll ask you to go for a snack. ”

……

Hand in hand, I walked around the street, because of the New Year's holiday, many shops are not open, and there is no shortage of this money, because this year's parliament passed the bill of envy of foreigners, allowing the rest of this year's financial funds to be given to the whole people as welfare.

Finally, I found a Chinese restaurant that was still open, and it seemed that it had just been established. Specializing in soup dumplings. Crab roe xiaolongbao, Joanna decisively had a sore leg when she saw this...... An Feng took her in to taste. The Chinese owners and employees of the store were amazed by the visitors.

All of them looked at each other, but the boss reacted the fastest: "Two distinguished guests, please take a seat!" ”

"Feel free to do whatever you want." An Feng smiled and said to the boss and the others, "And please keep a low profile." ”

Everyone nodded understandingly, seeing that the two of them were dressed up to play privately, and they didn't even have bodyguards. Definitely don't want to be bothered.

An Feng also chatted with the boss and learned that they only got their visas last year, and this year they can also enjoy the national benefits of the envy of the dead, but they are usually industrious and don't run around for vacation. And they are used to the Spring Festival later. Including the Chinese in the vicinity too.

"There's an event for the Spring Festival, right?" An Feng asked.

"Our traditional dragon dances, firecrackers, and Tang costume parades that foreigners like, and the company also specially gives Chinese employees a Spring Festival holiday." The boss said with a smile.

"Not bad." An Feng nodded, the local Chinese can integrate into the circle, which is also what he is happy to see, and the society has a strong ability to tolerate different races.

A little more than a month later, the government gave the queen a big gift.

Specifically, at the proposal of the government, Corsica held a referendum, and in the end 90% of the inhabitants agreed to annex Sardinia in the form of two provinces (Upper and Lower Corsica), in the form of 988 years of ownership by the queen, plus 10 billion national benefits, to become part of the kingdom.

France also got its wish to exchange 800,000 square kilometers of vast land on the moon, and later there was also military industrial cooperation with Sardinia, such as the development of aircraft, defensive weapons, etc. In matters of procurement, Sardinia gives preference and priority, except for other unexpected reasons.

In addition to France, the European countries that have ideas about the moon have formed a 10-nation strategic alliance and will make a contribution to the lunar base plan in Sardinia in the first half of the year -- specifically, to have the land that the lunar base can radiate. The 10 countries will have to pay the price of all kinds of cooperation.

Looking ahead, the G10 Europe, because of its strategic alliance, is likely to develop into a military alliance of European powers in the future. Some US media even said that Europe is trying to weaken NATO's role and instead develop its own military organization.

According to the European media, this is the prototype of the development of extraterrestrial activities and industry in Europe, with the aim of conducting scientific investigations and contributing to the selection of future resources that benefit mankind...... It is very pretentious, and it is absolutely not to talk about the issue of military alliances and NATO. And Sardinia is more direct.

They said it was just a silver wedding gift for the Queen.

Joanna, who was reading the newspaper, pouted and said to An Feng: "But you are my silver wedding gift!" ”
