Chapter 211: A Feeling of Home
In the residential quarters of the flagship Dawn, there is a separate courtyard next to a planted forest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This courtyard is beautifully shaped, the antique buildings throughout look beautiful, and there are various flowers and trees planted on the side, which are even more beautiful and colorful, and the flowers are wonderful.
On one side of the courtyard, a small stream flows out from the stone gap where the flowers and trees flourish, meandering to the courtyard, flowing through the pebblestone paved channels along the way, resounding with the sound of gurgling water, with the birds beating from time to time on the treetops, suddenly the garden is full of spring, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, quite a bit of Jiangnan garden-style courtyard feeling.
Around this courtyard, among the lush trees stand a number of carefully camouflaged sentinels, all of which are armed robots standing guard, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, but in fact they are heavily guarded, which shows that the owner of the courtyard has an extraordinary status.
The sun was setting, and after a busy day, Zhou Chen finally returned to his residence and said to the accompanying soldiers: "You can get here, and go back to rest." ”
"Yes!" The soldiers saluted, turned and left.
For Zhou Chen's safety, they didn't have much to worry about, firstly, the situation within the fleet is very stable, under strict control, it is difficult to find out who is unfavorable to the captain, and secondly, this place already belongs to the core area, and there are robot bodyguards everywhere, which can be said to be the safest place in the entire fleet.
Watching the accompanying soldiers leave, Zhou Chen smiled faintly, turned around and stepped into the courtyard, and entered the beautiful house inside, which was a combination of ancient style and technology.
The house is stacked with various high-tech features, and every corner is filled with probes with various functions, plus the presence of assistive robots for home use, so that the people who live in it can fully enjoy.
In the room, there is a modern decoration environment, which has really kept him busy these days, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a mouth-watering fragrance wafting from the kitchen, which suddenly made Zhou Chen have an infinite care for home.
It was dinner time, and without thinking too much about it, he went into the kitchen and saw a beautiful woman busy in an apron. The woman is tall, light, dignified and elegant in words and deeds, perhaps because she is used to seeing her in a white coat, Zhou Chen looked at Yang Xi's homely outfit, and seemed to be able to feel a special temperament from her.
"How can you have the leisure to cook in person today?" Zhou Chen looked at her in surprise, stepped forward and gently hugged her thin waist with both hands.
"What are you doing, you're cooking!" Yang Xi was holding a spatula in his hand, and he felt that his waist was being grabbed from behind, and he couldn't help but glance at him when he turned his head.
However, he did not reject Zhou Chen's actions at all, a melon seed face was beautiful and glamorous, clear eyes stared at him, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and a coquettish look.
"Seeing that you are so busy these days, I will cook for you myself!" Yang Xi raised his head slightly and said seriously.
Zhou Chen smiled and let her go, and then saw that her ponytail was a little loose, so he reached out to help her straighten it out: "How long will it take?" ”
"It's almost there, hey, you go to the living room and wait!"
After Yang Xi finished speaking, he began to drive people away, after all, although the kitchen was spacious, it was still a little obstructive for the two of them to stand inside, not to mention that she knew Zhou Chen's temperament and knew that Zhou Chen liked to do things to her when she was cooking, didn't this delay her from doing things!
Zhou Chen smiled stupidly, he was just about to hand over the salt to Yang Xi, he was snatched of the seasoning box, and then withdrew from the kitchen under the angry glaring of the hostess's bright eyes.
Don't look at the majestic captain in power, he is almost a constitutional outside, but when he arrives home, he is just an ordinary man like most successful people, but this feeling makes him enjoy it very much.
There is a good wife in the family, and life is boundless, not to mention that this good wife is extremely eye-catching, and it seems that the more she raises, the more beautiful she becomes.
After returning to the living room, Zhou Chen casually pulled out a chair and sat down, when a household robot stepped forward and delivered him a newspaper full of ink.
The newspaper industry has not been eliminated in the Earth Fleet, and although it has long been replaced by electronic newspapers, physical newspapers are still popular with everyone. After all, sometimes electronic newspapers are not as textured as physical newspapers look, and the feeling of reading is also different.
As the captain of the Earth Fleet, Zhou Chen usually reads a lot of various internal references and analysis reports, but after returning home, he also likes to read the content that reflects the daily life of the grassroots people, and newspapers are naturally the most suitable medium.
At this time, the newspaper was reporting the news of the fleet's arrival in the Poseidon system, and made a detailed outlook on the internal policies of the fleet and the allocation of resources, especially the population policy, and the editorial department of this newspaper actually made an outlook as well.
"Tang Yuan, show the comment area of this report!" Zhou Chen said casually to the robot on the side.
"Good master!" As soon as the voice of the round half-meter-tall robot named Tangyuan fell, a translucent projection appeared in front of Zhou Chen's eyes.
Many readers in the comment area are discussing the population policy of the Earth Fleet, Zhou Chen briefly browsed it, and found that there are people with various opinions, but on the whole, everyone is discussing rationally, and there is no situation where they are mixed like on the earth, and they open their mouths and scold if they don't agree.
"It seems that everyone has a heated discussion!" Zhou Chen pulled down a few more pages, nodded slightly, he was very satisfied with the atmosphere in the comment area, the fleet has always been standardizing everyone's morality, and now after so many years, you can significantly see the improvement of the quality of commentators, which is a very good thing.
Without fierce ideological confrontation, there will be no deep understanding of phenomena, and there will be no in-depth thinking about society.
"What are you looking at?" Just as Zhou Chen was immersed in thinking, a faint fragrance came from his side, and he saw Yang Xi coming over.
At this time, she had already taken off her apron and changed into a homely goose yellow shirt, with light-colored slender trousers, her graceful figure was fully revealed, there was no trace of time on her body, she was holding two dishes in her hands, and looked at him curiously.
"It's beautiful!" Zhou Chen couldn't help but praise.
"Of course, I made the dishes!" The corners of Yang Xi's mouth hooked and a smug smile appeared.
"I mean you!" Zhou Chen laughed, "After so many years, no matter how you look at you, you are so beautiful, and you are getting more and more exquisite, I really made money when I married you!" ”
Yang Xi was stunned for a moment, then realized that Zhou Chen was teasing her, couldn't help but glance at him, then put down the dishes in his hand, and ran back to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
"Seeing that you have been so busy these days, have the affairs of the fleet been taken care of?" During the meal, Yang Xi suddenly asked.
Usually, Yang Xi has not asked Zhou Chen too much about things at work, and seems to have fully maintained the tradition of "not interfering in politics", but seeing that Zhou Chen has been busy these days, he suddenly became interested in asking for some reason.
"Well, that's pretty much done!" Zhou Chen nodded, and then told her about the policies discussed today.
Anyway, these policies are not a secret, and they will be announced to the public in a few days, and it is nothing for him to tell Yang Xi.
"Oh, population policy, it's really troublesome!" After Yang Xi heard this, his eyebrows also frowned. She usually stays in the Institute of Life Sciences and buries herself in experiments, and she is really not very good at these policy things.
Zhou Chen asked: "Do you think it is better to continue to maintain the original marriage system as it is now, or to introduce polygamy?" It's just that the introduction of polygamy faces a big social problem, and the opposition to 'polyandry' is an unavoidable ......."
"I think lowering the age of childbearing is something to consider, as for polygamy ......"
Yang Xi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, from the perspective of women, I definitely don't approve of it, but if you really want to expand the civilization base in the short term, it is essential to have girls, but that will cause a large number of unmarried women to appear...... Maybe it's better to go with the flow, and when a large number of women really appear, it's not too late to change the policy. ”
"And there is another question, is it necessary for us to increase the population in such a hurry?" Yang Xi asked suddenly.
"What do you think?" Zhou Chen asked with a slight frown.
"I wonder how much difference there can be between having an extra girl and having a normal boy or girl? It's just a matter of allowing the fleet to have a large population a few years in advance, so have we been pursuing a policy of encouraging the birth of girls? If so, where do you put girls in the long run? ”
Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, and gradually thought about what Yang Xi said.
Yes, in the long run, if this policy is really implemented, although it will increase the civilized population, it will inevitably deviate from the path, at least this policy is extremely unfair to women. It seems like...... They are treated as fertility tools.
It is impossible for a civilization to implement such a biased policy for a long time, but if it is not implemented for a long time, then what difference does it make if it is a few years earlier and a few years later? At least it may seem like it doesn't make much sense.
"Also, if we have a child in the future, and it is also a girl, are you willing to let her serve a husband with other people?"
Speaking of this, Yang Xi's face suddenly turned red and stopped, and after a while, her eyes narrowed, and she stared at Zhou Chen a little narrowly: "I said, does the practice of polygamy make you very happy?" ”
Seeing that her thinking turned so fast, Zhou Chen smiled dumbly: "Where did you say, what am I happy about?" ”
"Humph!" Yang Xi glanced at him disdainfully, "I know, as long as you speak, my former roommates Concubine Hua and Shen Min are very willing, I promise not to bother too much, they will wrap themselves up and send them to your bed, hmph, they are still not married, they must look down on other people, and they are thinking better!" ”
The "better" in her mouth is of course self-evidently referring to Zhou Chen, and in her heart Zhou Chen has always been the best!
"And that Cai Xiaoxi, who is also so beautiful, is almost on par with me, do you want to take her in if you have a chance?"
Looking at Yang Xi, who was eating with flying vinegar but unconsciously boasting about himself, Zhou Chen smiled very helplessly: "I said Xi'er, you are a little confident in yourself, okay, you are such a big beauty, why are your eyes so small!" ”
As he spoke, Zhou Chen put his hands on her thin but delicate shoulders, "And listening to what you said just now, although you are full of vinegar, it is like pointing out the goal to me, I really have no scheming at all!" Then he squatted down and hugged her sideways.
"What are you doing?" Yang Xi was shocked.
"What else can we do, the desire for food and lust [harmony] has arrived in the Poseidon Galaxy, should we take the lead and take the lead in making a contribution to the progress of civilization?"
"Oops, the bowl hasn't been washed yet!"
As soon as Yang Xi heard Zhou Chen's words, his face turned red all of a sudden, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes couldn't help revealing spring, and a pair of eyes seemed to be dripping with water, but there seemed to be more expectation in his eyes.
"It's okay, leave it to the robot!" Zhou Chen smiled when he saw her like this, speaking of which he was also an old husband and wife, the two of them had already experienced many snake plate battles, but every time they met two people who wanted to do this, Yang Xi couldn't help but blush.
It was quite interesting to see Zhou Chen, and as he spoke, Zhou Chen directly carried her into the room and threw her on the bed casually, and after a while, there were bursts of sound in the room. (To be continued.) )
