The whining whistle was heard for kilometers in the harbor, and the Bird of Paradise sailed into the docks of Staten Island, New York, after a long voyage. There was a welcoming procession of hundreds of people on www.biquge.info pier.

As Rachel descended from the ramp of the cargo ship, a cheerful figure pounced on her, crying out, "Mommy, I miss you so much." ”

For a year, Angelina, who originally still had a green taste. Lawrence suddenly matured a lot, not only in his mind, but also in his body began to move closer to his mother. But the girl who had just grown up was in tears at the moment, holding her mother and refusing to let go.

"Rachel, I'm glad you're back safely." David. Lawrence also stepped forward and hugged his wife gently, "Angie has been worried since you went to Cuba, and now everything is finally over." ”

The family of three got together again, and even Rachel felt that she had been away for more than half a month, and seeing her husband again had eliminated a lot of estrangement. Look at Davy. Lawrence's tall and majestic body made her feel a little proud—her husband was not bad, although .......

"Mom, is Victor really as good as you say in your letter? Has he really commanded hundreds of thousands of people and become a powerful legion commander? Did he really win the love of countless people with a single speech, and suppress the high-ranking officers in charge of thousands of troops in a few words? ”

After hugging her mother and complaining to each other, and after a little lovesickness, the lively Angie began to ask Rachel about the details of her trip to Cuba. And this is naturally indispensable for Victor, whose image has been heroized. Hugo.

"Of course it's true, Victor did do miracles, there's no doubt about that. He also asked me to give you a gift. Rachel had a cage in which a full-term puppy was furry and cute.

"Wow, ah...... that's amazing!" When Angie saw the puppy's eyes, she immediately jumped excitedly, and her eyes smiled like a crescent moon, "I like it so much, I really like it!" ”

Dogs in New York are either frozen to death and eaten, or killed and eaten, and the whole city is full of birds and beasts, and there is no trace of flowers and plants. Now only Zhou Qingfeng can give such a puppy, sixteen-year-old Anji has no resistance to cute animals, and happily hugged the puppy and ran away.

Without Anji as a moderator, the atmosphere between the couple was a little awkward. Rachel, in particular, saw that there was actually David in the welcoming crowd. Lawrence's personal female assistant was even more on fire, as cold as ice.

"My dear, I think we can go back to the happy old days." David. Lawrence wanted to get closer, and he reached out to put his arms around his wife's waist.

But Rachel refused without hesitation: "No, let's get down to business." I've negotiated with Victor to exchange mutants, and I've shipped the first goods from the trade between the two sides.

The Bird of Paradise carries tens of thousands of tons of cargo, including fresh fruits and vegetables that we desperately need, which can greatly improve the diet of our ruling population. ”

Rachel said a few words, and simply left her husband to order the dock workers to unload the cargo. The crane at the wharf first unloaded a dozen wooden boxes, which were full of fast-growing vegetables such as tomatoes that could be stored hard.

For the arrival of this batch of vegetables, the more than two million people in the whole of Stanton Island were completely sensational.

Yes, the word 'sensational' must be used!

After a long and bitter nuclear winter, a boatload of vegetables from afar suddenly appeared in front of people, which was like a pigeon giving an olive branch to the survivors of Noah's Ark after the flood waters receded.

For the vast majority of people in New York, this is the first time they have learned definitively that the world is not completely destroyed. Outside of the United States, there are people planting, producing, and trading exchanges, and there is still salvation for mankind.

Because of the latitude, the temperature in Havana has risen, but New York is still as cold as an ice cave. The Bird of Paradise is like a fire that suddenly appears in the middle of a long cold night, adding a little warmth to people's hearts, and giving them more hope and confidence to live.

After nearly a year in the midst of the disaster, many people are willing to spend a lot of money just to buy a tomato to taste. A bite full of sweet and sour mouths, the whole person is suddenly refreshed, and the heart is greatly satisfied, which is enough to cheer up for several days. After all, human beings are still self-conscious higher beings.

This near-fanatical situation has been linked to Rachel and Dave. Lawrence didn't expect that for them, cultivating some vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse would still satisfy the Brotherhood higher-ups, but the residents at the bottom could only endure it.

And now, once this patience is unsuppressed, the demand for the material things of life is almost as irresistible as a volcanic eruption. People want to eat, drink and enjoy, and the memories of life before the cataclysm have not disappeared, and all the tomatoes are turned out when they eat them.

In particular, the radio contact between the people has not been interrupted, and the residents at the bottom are always trying to find a way to survive in the midst of hardship, and they will not let go of any news.

In the past, news of the 'Aurora Legion' from the Caribbean has always been there, but people can't help but wonder and have doubts in their amazement, and the long journey has stopped many people from yearning for Havana.

But now the arrival of the 'Bird of Paradise' has dispelled the last scruples in people's hearts. It turns out that the legendary Garden of Eden really exists, and it is thousands of kilometers away in Cuba. In the past, it was Cubans who cried and shouted that they wanted to go to the United States, but now it is Americans who sacrifice their lives to pursue the light.

This form is completely beyond David. Lawrence's grip on the people at the bottom was so shaken that even the management under him was shaking. Everybody is talking about Cuba, talking about the 'Aurora Army', talking about Victor. Hugo.

Uncle Zhou's various deeds have been turned out, and everything is a miracle to watch. In particular, he recently carried out the rectification movement, vigorously enhanced the cohesion of the regiment, and also lifted a series of restrictions on civilian production and life, giving a profound education to the broad masses of New Yorkers.

In order to conform to the public opinion of this kind of national discussion, New York's "Doomsday" even tried every means to obtain the draft of Zhou Qingfeng's speech at the rectification meeting. The majestic and fearless momentum in the speech was simply a light in the darkness, illuminating the direction in which people were heading.

It turns out that there are really people in this world who are fighting for the revival of all mankind, and in comparison, several leaders of the Brotherhood of Steel will only fight among themselves. What a moment!

Eating vegetables from Havana, using lighters from Havana, washing soap from Havana, taking medicines from Havana, listening to the radio from Havana, and finally looking at the freighters from Havana in the port, commercial activities have led to the tide of thought.

This is very similar to the reform and opening up of the flower growers in the 80s of the last century, and a bottle of Coca-Cola can make people feel the superiority of capitalism. When people's eyes are dazzled by the influx of imported goods, the thoughts in their minds naturally change.

And now that the 'Aurora Army' has opened up commodity trade in New York, the impact may not be as strong as the reform and opening up, but for many New York residents, they have an additional way to live. As a result, all kinds of private smuggling and smuggling inevitably began.

In this regard, Zhou Qingfeng said: Do you want to eat the dog food of the people's democratic dictatorship? Come, what good things are there, let's talk about buying them. (To be continued.) )
