Chapter 333: Settling Down (Part I)
At the urging of Zhang Xiaogang, the team continued to work non-stop, stopping every morning, noon and evening to allow Clara, Anna and Andre brothers to eat and rest for half an hour. Two days later, under the leadership of Zhang Xiaogang, Chu Tianjiang and the others finally returned to China.
Before everyone returned to the Xuanwu Strategic Command Center, Zhang Xiaogang received the news.
The day before they arrived in Yakutsk, Lyudmina, escorted by two agents, arrived at the port of Gwadar in Pakistan, where she was already at the Xuanwu Strategic Command Center. After Isaac's death, the situation in Moscow was in turmoil, and it was Mafra who was in power at this time. Yuan Dezhi already knew about the source of the Dao energy, and the Military Intelligence Bureau was conducting an investigation within the entire world. Melanie's research on mutant human viruses has made significant achievements, developing a drug that can prevent normal people from being infected, but she has not yet developed antibodies that can restore mutants to normal.
Returning to the Xuanwu Strategic Command Center, Chu Tianjiang first sent the three Andre brothers and the four Anna sisters to the valley homeland.
Because Melanie wanted to do a comprehensive examination of Clara, Chu Tianjiang asked Clara to stay in the Xuanwu Strategic Command Center, and asked Nichol and the others to stay with Clara. As for Zhang Xiaogang, there are many things that need to be dealt with immediately, and when he returns to the Xuanwu Strategic Command Center, he will disappear.
Zhang Xiaogang really fulfilled his promise. The "castle" built by Chu Tianjiang and Nicol was fully strengthened with steel inside, and a layer of bluestone slabs was built on the outside, and the original wooden structure became the interior decoration. The bottom of the pool and the surrounding area were paved with white marble, and the bottom of the pond was silt fished from the bottom of the river, and lotus roots had been planted in it. In Chutianjiang's planning, the barns, cattle and sheep pens that have not been built have been built, and the roads connecting the buildings have also been paved, and bluestone slabs have been paved. There is also a waterwheel by the river, which directs the river water into a cistern located above the swimming pool. The beach in the lower reaches of the valley has been leveled and ditched but has not had time to be reclaimed. The water is supplied from a deep well in the castle, and all sewage pipes are connected to the sewage treatment tank to the north of the castle, where it is discharged into the river.
When Chu Tianjiang and the others arrived, the construction team was building a road to the outside world.
As promised, Yang Fanglie has designated a 50-kilometer radius of the river valley as a military exclusion zone, and the road under construction leads to the military camp and then to the nearest county seat.
"Well, it's not bad here, right?"
"Boss, is this your home?" Andrei looked a little surprised.
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "In the future, this is not only my home, but also your home." I've asked Lao Zhang to help you with the naturalization process, and after settling down, you can build your own home in the river valley, or somewhere nearby where you feel fit. β
"I think it's good here." AndrΓ© pointed down the valley, "That's pretty much it, all three of us brothers live here. β
"You've talked to Anna's sister?"
Andre was stunned for a moment, then laughed awkwardly.
Chu Tianjiang also smiled and said, "I think there is still one thing missing. β
"What?"
"The church." Chu Tianjiang glanced at Andre, "Nichol, Clara, Sister Anna, and you are all believers in God, but we don't have a church here. β
"This ......"
"When the church is built, I'll do the wedding for you."
"Boss ......"
"Don't be polite to me, we're brothers who were born and died together, right?" Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "During this time, you will stay here and concentrate on building your own home. I'll be back when I've taken care of Clara's affairs and drink your wine." β
Andrei hesitated a little and said, "Brother Chu, Ajelina mentioned to me that Anna's matter ......"
"I'll think about it, but not now." Chu Tianjiang let out a long sigh and said, "However, we will definitely have to stay here for a while. If you have time, you can learn Chinese from those engineering personnel, so that Anna and the others can study well, after all, this is China. β
Andre nodded and said, "We will study carefully, but Anna has been restless for the past two days." β
"Go over and have a look, and choose a place to build your home." Chu Tianjiang knew that he deliberately ignored Anna two days ago, which was already very unkind. "Tell me at dinner that I'll give an account to the construction crews so that they can lay the foundation, and I'll talk to Anna now."
AndrΓ© nodded, called the two brothers, and went to the river to call Anna's three sisters.
When Andre and the others walked away, Chu Tianjiang walked over.
Chu Tianjiang deliberately made some noise, and when he approached, Anna glanced back at him.
"Anna ......"
"This place is so beautiful, this is your home?"
Chu Tianjiang nodded, walked behind Anna, put his arms around Anna's waist, and took her into his arms. "Well, would you like to live here?"
Anna trembled slightly, and said with a sour taste: "I'm not the master here, and the man here hasn't agreed to let me stay yet." β
"What if he says yes?"
"That's just a guest, and if the hostess or hostess here is in a bad mood one day, they might kick me out."
"So, if you don't become the hostess here, you won't stay?"
"I'm not Ajelina."
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "So, are you willing to marry Ajelina and the others?" β
"Who should I marry, Andrey, Leonid, or Valentin? I know that it won't be long before they become Chinese citizens and marry a few foreign wives like you. β
"Actually, they are also quite good, especially Andre, who is very honest and loves his own women, and ......"
"Noβ" Anna suddenly exclaimed.
Why can't this make a joke? Chu Tianjiang smiled and asked Anna to turn around, only to find that Anna had shed tears.
"Okay, I'm kidding you."
"I don't want you to make such a joke!" Anna threw herself on Chu Tianjiang's chest and cried even more happily.
"Okay, then don't marry them."
"You...... You're still saying......"
"How about marrying me?"
"You ......" Anna raised her head and looked at Chu Tianjiang in surprise. You...... You're asking me ...... ...... to me"
"Don't you want to? This is the only chance, and if you don't want to, I'll ......."
"I do!" Anna put her arms around Chu Tianjiang's neck, stood on her toes, and kissed Chu Tianjiang's lips.
Chu Tianjiang did not refuse, and it was not until Anna's breathing became rapid and her body began to writhe that he took the initiative to end this passionate kiss mixed with tears and joy.
"Anna, you'll have to be patient for a while."
Anna nodded and leaned into Chu Tianjiang's arms.
"During this time, you and Ajelina live here, and Brother Andrei will take care of you."
"You're leaving?"
Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "The homeland hasn't been built yet, and Clara's affairs haven't been dealt with yet, so I can't stay here." β
"I see, when are you coming back?"
"In a few days, but I don't know when I'll be back. But I promise to marry you when I return. β
"Can you let Nicol and the others come here?"
"This ......"
"I know that you love Nichole the most, and you care about them the most. Although it has made my dream come true to be able to marry you, we will have to live together in the future, and the relationship between sisters is very important. Anna looked up, "If you can, you should let them come back." β
Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "Okay, if it's okay and they don't object, I'll let them come back." β
"You're so nice."
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "It's not good, it doesn't matter if you say it now." Well, I have to rush back, so let's go to dinner. β
"Wait......"
"What, what's the matter?"
"Husband, I don't know what you look like."
Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What, are you afraid of marrying an ugly monster?" β
"Of course not, in my heart, you are the most handsome man in the world, but you look like you now, you don't look like Chinese at all."
"Okay, you close your eyes first." Chu Tianjiang kissed Anna on the forehead.
"Must close your eyes?"
"Of course, obedient."
Anna didn't dwell on it and closed her eyes. Chu Tianjiang restored his original appearance as quickly as possible, making "Joseph" history.
"Alright, now open your eyes."
Seeing Chu Tianjiang's true appearance, Anna was first startled, and then laughed.
"Laughing at what?"
"Much better looking than I thought, and more manly."
"Really?"
"Of course, it's more in line with women's aesthetics." Anna looked at Chu Tianjiang carefully. "It's really good, it's perfect if it's a little higher."
"In this world, how can there be a perfect man?"
"You're the perfect man."
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Let's go, it's time to go to dinner." β
Because Chu Tianjiang has returned to his original appearance, even his voice has changed, so when he saw the three Andrei brothers, he had to get to know each other again.
Fortunately, the three Andre brothers had long known that Chu Tianjiang was not "Joseph", so they were not surprised.
After dinner, Chu Tianjiang first settled Andre and Anna, and then went to find the person in charge of the engineering team, proposed to build a home for Andre and them, and asked the engineering team to modify the construction plan and replan the project according to Andre's requirements.
After finishing these things, Chu Tianjiang left the river valley and returned to the Xuanwu Strategic Command Center overnight.
Comparatively speaking, settling Brother Andre and Sister Anna is the easiest thing to do, and the things related to Clara are the real trouble.
