Tuesday, March 8, 1622.

Today is Women's Day. Basically, this holiday, which "continued" from a certain time and space, from the day it was promulgated and confirmed, caused great confusion among the European residents who had nothing to be nostalgic for except for Christmas.

Although the previous Chinese New Year has puzzled these Europeans who don't know anything about the Oriental Lunar New Year for a long time, the March 8 Women's Day, which has started again, has made honest European residents even more confused.

A woman's holiday? God, shouldn't they stay at home and have children? When the holiday greetings came from the neighborhood broadcast, the Europeans opened their mouths in shock.

It is said that the first supermarket in Manchuria's Long Island New District will also open today, with a Women's Day special event. Not only is there a 95% discount on all items, but you can also enjoy a special offer of $2 back on $10 or more. In addition, all housewives with the right of formal settlement can also get a shopping voucher worth $1 when shopping with their hukou.

Well, even if the big boss behind the Carrefour supermarket, the little nurse Xia Qiuyu, did his best, most of the European residents who watched the excitement still took a wait-and-see attitude, and basically no one would buy a lot of goods with a unit price of at least 15 cents or more in the name of discounts.

However, the gimmick of receiving a free $1 shopping coupon is not far behind. In the past few months, only 100 or so European families have been granted formal residency rights in Long Island New District, and their housewives have been clutching small pieces of paper and carefully selecting just enough goods worth $1. Then he quickly left the Carrefour supermarket.

Although many goods were purchased through cheaper COSCO International Trading, Carrefour's turnover in the morning was less than $200, of which about $100 was deducted by shopping coupons, which made Xia Qiuyu, a nurse who opened his first supermarket, very depressed.

In the end, there was really no way, Xia Qiuyu forced her boyfriend Zhu Xiaoli to pass. Dozens of people were brought in to cross the crowd, and they finally sold about $1,000 in goods before noon.

Holding a large number of things that he didn't need at all, a group of big men couldn't cry or laugh. Among them, Zhu Xiaoli, an army captain who came from the garrison on leave, bought the most, and bought $300 for one person.

At noon, the former Phantom Bar owner Guanyun was newly opened in the "Yipinspoon" small restaurant. Xia Qiuyu sulked unhappily, while her boyfriend sat in the middle of a large pile of goods and giggled.

Among all unmarried women, I'm afraid that Ouyang Ling, who is 30 years old this year, is the most charming one, and I don't know why, this tall, beautiful and noble Bai Fumei, who is said to have traveled back and forth to London to see pigeons for many years, actually fell in love with Guanyun, the owner of the Phantom Bar.

Ouyang Ling, who has high-end cooking skills that people don't believe in, joined forces with Guanyun of the Phantom Bar this time to create the "Yipinspoon" restaurant. Although the ingredients are limited, it also allows the pseudo-petty bourgeoisie who have not tasted the "taste cuisine" for a long time to find a feeling again.

"It's really a bun of dirt buns......" Xia Qiuyu pouted and poked the contents of the bowl with chopsticks. With a little tantrum, "People finally got the supermarket, why is there no one!" ”

"Their family is young and old, and their monthly income is only a few dozen dollars, how can they buy so much at one time? There are now only a few hundred European families in the New Area on Long Island. And the turnover of more than 90 dollars is not a lot. Calculated up, it is equivalent to our previous 15,000 yuan! Zhu Xiaoli comforted his girlfriend and grinned as he sandwiched the dishes for the other party, "Today's holiday, what gift do you want?" ”

"How can anyone say they want a gift? Didn't you think about what to give? Look at Su Zining, when she was in Europe, she didn't need Sister Yuan to speak by herself. Just know to buy a lot of things! Xia Qiuyu rolled her eyes and looked out the window, "I don't know how Brother Su and Sister Yuan are doing in the Azores now, in fact, I miss the days when everyone was in Europe together, how free, now here, I always feel that life is very restrained, and it is the same as before." ”…,

"It's a country now, Su Zining is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yuan Xinyi is a diplomatic translator, you are the head nurse of the internal medicine department of the National Hospital, and I am the captain of the Army's special operations squadron.

Thinking of the bits and pieces in Europe more than half a year ago, Zhu Xiaoli also sighed deeply.

"I'm just talking......" Xia Qiuyu looked at her boyfriend a little lonely, and suddenly remembered something, "Brother Yan is doing now, I don't know, I don't know what the situation will be after he brings the immigrants from the Ming Dynasty." Actually, I'm looking forward to it, maybe there are you or my ancestors in it! ”

"Ming Dynasty immigrants?" Zhu Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, "Fool, this time and space may have no connection with our past history at all." To be honest, I don't know what the situation will be, maybe we are not the same kind of people at all except for our appearance, just like the Europeans now, they are all strangers. ”

"Perhaps, but I have to warn you! When the time comes, you are not allowed to hook up with those women of the Ming Dynasty, you are not allowed to follow those stinky men and plan to marry a few wives, and you are not allowed to listen to their nonsense! Don't even think about it! ”

Speaking of this, Xia Qiuyu stared at her with big eyes and looked at her boyfriend in front of her angrily.

Belch...... Zhu Xiaoli was stuck now, because many officers in the army had talked about these topics in private. Although the Marriage Law makes it clear that the fundamental policy of the State is to encourage monogamy, the wording of the provision is "encouraged" rather than "prohibited" polygamy.

There are dozens of complicated marriage law provisions, but no matter how you look at it, there seems to be a hint that cannot be explained.

The unmarried women in the crossing crowd are simply the most cherished species in the whole of North America, so the crossing wolves who know that they are hopeless can only express their "indignation and fearlessness" in other ways, and the "Marriage Law" seems to be a wordless proof.

"Hehe, are handsome guys and beauties happy today? I need to add something. Zhu Xiaoli? For Sister Xia's sake, I'll give you a 20% discount today! ”

As the two were talking, a beautiful woman wearing high heels came over, and at a glance they knew that it was Ouyang Ling, the proprietress of the proprietress at a glance.

"Thank you, Sister Ouyang, it's okay, just add two more portions of blueberry yogurt......" Seeing this by the other party's tickling beautiful eyes, Zhu Xiaoli immediately turned his tongue up.

"Huh. Come now, you guys continue! ”

Ouyang Ling twisted Xiao Man's waist and walked away again, and Zhu Xiaoli looked at him all the way.

"Hey! The eyeballs are about to fall out! "Xia and Qiu are in a hurry. The chopsticks in my hand were thrown on my boyfriend.

This scene, in this 38th Festival, also happened between a number of male and female couples who crossed identities. But for the man, it is a painful and happy experience after all.

In another place, a group of men with significantly higher male hormones than others are engaged in a "tragic" military exercise.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! You pigs, idiots, imbeciles! According to my previous movement demonstration essentials, the body should be lowered, the hands and feet should be coordinated, and the speed should be fast! ”

At a training ground at a military base northwest of West Point, about a platoon of European-American soldiers was shouted by the sergeant. He was lying on the ground in various postures and grinding forward.

"Don't expect that beautiful queue training from the past to change your idiot! You're a bunch of dung beetles right now, and there's a lot of stinky shit in front of you, and whoever is the fastest will be the first! ”

Sergeant Scott, who has undergone a month of hellish training, is now taking revenge on the soldiers in front of him according to the latest military discipline. Creeping forward is one of the standard tactical moves in the current application of weapons and equipment. Even a few companions who had enlisted together could not adapt to Scott's repeated training. …,

Wouldn't that kind of compelling line march and salvo anymore? In the future, we are all going to fire like this? What if the enemy gets close?

Several veterans, including Private 1st Class Jonah, were surprised that their sergeant had apparently been caught in the door during the previous month's closed training, and had spent a whole week teaching them tactical training in what seemed to be an extremely loose formation.

But now, only the first veterans, such as Sergeant Scott, who were trained in weapons suitability, know why. The kind of rifle that can fire at least six rounds per minute. and an even more mysterious weapon to come, which has already pronounced the death penalty of the old mode of warfare.

"Knowing how to protect yourself is the key, you have a chance to continue shooting if you are alive, whether it is offensive or defensive!" Sergeant Scott whipped the ass of a recruit assigned to his platoon, a strong man from Bohemia who was originally from Poland, "Private Makanov, especially hide your obvious ass, or it will expose our entire platoon!" ”

"Oh God, you barbarian, you must be jealous of me, I know ......" Makanov was grinning with his teeth spurred, and at this time he was covered in dust, shrugging his ass and crawling forward quickly, while secretly cursing.

The training lasted an hour, crawling back and forth at least five times, and when Makanov stood up, he felt that he could no longer walk. But the next obstacle course training made him collide upside down countless times, until he was lifted aside by someone until he foamed at the mouth.

Makanov, who had been a German mercenary since the age of 15, could say that he had no other means of livelihood than that bloody battlefield. After a simple adaptation, Makanov walked into the recruitment office in the outer islands of Manchuria.

With a strong physique, strong limbs, and a simple mind, it is especially commendable that this big man has a strong talent for languages, and can use many everyday Chinese fluently in just two months. The Chinese officer in charge of recruiting immediately placed him in Sergeant Scott's recruit platoon.

Now Makanov has been training as a private for more than a month. Interestingly, for the first month, he was still walking in the queue with his head held high according to the instructor's instructions, and since the beginning of this week, the whole training mode has changed drastically, with tumbling up and down and rolling all over the ground, which made him think that the army had changed to a circus.

A circus is a circus, and in any case, at least this army has never treated the stomach of any of the actors badly.

At dinnertime, Private Makanov finally showed that he was better than Sergeant Scott, and he almost single-handedly ate a full two pounds of white bread, a whole grilled fish, and a large jar of broth! (To be continued.)
