Elder brother's garrison

They wanted to turn President Er Gou and his sister into idols, but the two of them kicked their legs and threw a tantrum on the ground. President Er Gou couldn't do it.

"Who told you to be in that position! You shameless bastard!"

"Hey, you old codger, who are you cursing at?!"

"I'm talking about you! You're almost fifty and haven't even produced a fart!"

"Damn it! Do you want to fight?! Draw your sword!"

The young and beautiful president, Er Gou, and the vigorous, dark-faced old man exchanged only a few words before rolling up their sleeves and posing as if they were about to fight in the living room.

After the chaotic mediation, the grumbling, dark-faced old man and the quietly muttering Chairman Er Gou sat back to back in the living room, surrounded by friends and relatives chatting away around Munaihua.

"You can't resign as head of the family, Nohana..."

"There are so many people in Linsheng City, there has to be someone who can handle it."

"Don't act impulsively..."

The living room was a mess, and the old man with the dark face looked particularly sullen.

"Neither Naihua nor Naige want to be the head of the family, and the old man's health is failing, so let Muyu take the position?"

"Mu Yu won't do. He's the governor, he's too busy to have time."

"Then who can bear the responsibility? Can the trees become a forest?" Someone suddenly spoke up.

Then, the cluttered living room became quiet.

All eyes turned to the uncle who had nominated Mu Chenglin, making him blush: "I was just saying... don't take it seriously..."

“…I think it’s okay.” Suddenly, another person responded.

"I heard he went to the database today. I heard that Cheng Lin helped Naihua a lot with what happened today. That kid is quick to notice things."

"Cheng Lin, hey, this kid is actually pretty good..."

"It can be cultivated, it can be cultivated..."

In the living room, many of the elders of the Mu family pondered the matter carefully and finally expressed their approval.

That's certainly true.

The first fire that Munaihua left for Chairman Ergou was ultimately burned by Chairman Ergou onto Mu Chenglin.

"What do you think, Patriarch?"

All the distinguished guests looked at the dark-faced old man.

"What's it to me! Why are you asking me?"

"..."

"He's the one!!"

Under the watchful eyes of all the elders in the room, the dark-faced old man uttered the final pronouncement.

Clapping and cheering filled the living room.

"Cheng Lin! You've really made something of yourself!!!"

"Quickly tell Cheng Lin this good news!!"

"...Wait, where is Cheng Lin now?"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Meanwhile, in a corner of Linsheng City.

In a narrow alley, several burly men dressed in black were squatting.

The burly men carried buckets of noodles, making slurping sounds all around them.

"Sigh...when can we go home?" The tough guys, holding their instant noodles, were starting to miss home.

At the end of the alley, there is a dark house.

"Snapped!!!"

The loud clatter of mahjong tiles echoed across the mahjong table.

I won!

"Self-draw! No terminal or nine, nine treasures and three reds!"

Mu Chenglin found true happiness here.

Playing mahjong is so much fun!

written request for leave

I have tinnitus, a headache, and sore eyes. I can't see the computer screen clearly, so after thinking about it for a while, I decided to take the day off and update tomorrow.

For the past three months, I haven't felt well after waking up, and it seems to be getting worse... I asked a friend, and they said it might be due to too much stress causing neurasthenia...

Cluck cluck cluck (See you tomorrow)

Chapter 904 Achoo!!

That evening, the Mu family's villa was unusually lively.

After Grandpa Mu was discharged from the hospital, the Mu family, following tradition, prepared a sizable banquet for him.

Xiao Bai was initially unclear about the reason for the banquet. The elders of the Mu family didn't try to hide it and told Xiao Bai in front of the old man that for an old man of Mu's age, staying in a hospital was basically like taking a trip to the gates of hell and the Bridge of Helplessness. In a sense, it was a long-distance trip. So, after returning safely, it was customary to have a banquet to welcome him back.

Grandpa Mu always had a dark face, and at first glance, it seemed as if he was sulking about someone. He didn't talk much, but he didn't react much when others brought up his life or death in front of him.

Perhaps as one gets older, one's perspective on this matter becomes more open-minded.

In the end, it was decided to hold the banquet at the villa.

Missouri's excellent cooking skills earned her the approval of Chairman Er Gou, who then asked her to act as a chef for a while. Later, Chairman Er Gou simply gave her the banquet menu and told her to just make something based on it and to search on Baidu if she didn't know how.

Missouri reluctantly agreed to President Er Gou's request out of consideration for Xiao Bai. In the end, she and Luo Lian, who claimed to know a little about food, stayed and busied themselves. Before long, one dish after another was brought into the house.

The menu that President Er Gou gave to Missouri was basically all about meat, seafood, and delicacies. At first, Xiao Bai was worried that the old man, who had just been discharged from the hospital, might not be able to handle such greasy food. However, she was relieved when she saw Grandpa Mu carrying two bottles of baijiu and throwing them in front of President Er Gou's seat, chugging them down with her amidst the cheers of the crowd.

—That's really tough.

Although the dishes were delicious and went well with alcohol, Xiao Bai, who doesn't drink, found the taste too greasy after only a couple of bites. So he left the dining table in the living room and sat down on the steps of the villa's gate to enjoy the breeze.

The mountain breeze is better than the sea breeze in one way: it smells refreshing and cool. Little White sat alone by the door, looking up to see a sky full of scattered stars.

Behind.

At the end of the corridor, the iconic shouts of President Er Gou and the cheers of the surrounding relatives mingled together, seeping through the walls. Despite the noise, Xiao Bai was surprisingly warm and cozy.

"You son of a bitch, today I'm going to fight you to the death, you old bastard!"

"What the hell is this guy? He's already panting after downing a bottle of baijiu!"

"I'll finish it, you can do whatever you want! Second Uncle, bring the washbasin to Mom! Someone! Get the lighter!!!"

The only downside is that some of the content is quite offensive.

Xiao Bai smiled at the door and turned around.

Kaga, carrying a plate of abalone bigger than Shiro's fist, also came out of the living room at some point and quietly walked behind Shiro.

"Admiral." Kaga sat down next to Shiro.

"Kaga, what's wrong?"

"Admiral Missouri and Admiral Loren are cooking in the kitchen. I'll protect the admiral."

"...I won't lose it." Xiaobai smiled.

Kaga tilted his head and thought for a while, feeling that what Shiro said made some sense, but he didn't feel comfortable leaving on his own. So after thinking for a while, Kaga pushed the plate in his hand towards Shiro and said, "Admiral, have some fish."

"I'm full, Kaga, you can eat."

"Oh."

Watching Kaga quietly lick the abalone with her tongue out, Xiaobai suddenly felt a sense of admiration for Kaga, who was indeed treated like a sister by Akagi.

"Speaking of which, has Kaga found the answer yet?"

"?"

"It's about Akagi's unresolved issues," Shiro said to Kaga.

Kaga set off from the naval base to find Shiro because she wanted to know how Shiro had resolved Akagi's emotional distress. It was also because Shiro didn't know what she had done that she kept Kaga by her side.

After hearing what Xiaobai said, Kaga paused in his actions.

"..." Kaga squinted and thought carefully for a while, "...I don't know."

"That's it."

"Does the Admiral know?"

"I don't think I did anything."

“…Oh.” Kaga lowered his head, looking at the plate in his hand that was completely empty.

A gurgling sound came from Kaga's stomach.

Kaga really is the same type as Akagi.

They are all big eaters.

"Kaga, you should go back. I'll be fine on my own," Shiro said to Kaga.

Kaga tucked the empty plate in his hands and nodded to Shiro.

"Admiral."

"Ok?"

"Once I understand, will I have to leave the Admiral's side?"

"I don't mind having people around," Shiro smiled at Kaga.

Kaga mumbled a soft "hmm," then picked up the plate and ran back to the living room.

Xiao Bai turned her head back.

Munaihua had somehow sat down next to Shiro, resting her chin on her hand and smiling quietly at him.

"Eek!" Little White was startled and quickly jumped to the other side.

“That child is surprisingly delicate and clumsy,” Muna Hana said with a smile.

"Eh... Nohana-neechan, when did you...?"

"I arrived a long time ago."

"..." Xiaobai sighed, "Naihana-neechan, why did you come out with me too..."

"Finally retired as I wished. I just like doing some odd jobs." Muna Hana said to Shiro with a smile, "Shiro, thank you for your hard work these past two days."

"..." Xiaobai glanced helplessly at Munaihua.

Given Muna and the Mu family's capabilities, Xiaobai wouldn't have needed to lift a finger to handle these past two days; they could have done it all themselves. However, Xiaobai ended up working for the Mu family for two days for nothing because of Muna's plan to abdicate.

"The doctor's identity has been found out, and he confessed after interrogation." Muna said to Shiro, "Just as Shiro said, he was a long-time admiral, and he has a lot of experience and influence. He has been lurking in Linsheng City for eight years."

"He's already confessed?" Xiaobai nodded. "Why did he come here?"

"Of course, I want to live forever," Konohana smiled.

Are there any other reasons?

"Hmm?" Muna looked at Shiro in surprise, and suddenly became interested. "Why would Shiro ask that? That's immortality, the ability that billions of people dream of. Isn't that reason enough?"

"...Immortality...It would be great to live a long time, and it would be great if one's appearance didn't age..."

"But?" Muna Hana listened expectantly to Shiro's next words.

"...But," Xiaobai smiled at Muna, "ship girls have been around for five hundred years, haven't they?"

"Yes, there should be."

"How many 500-year-old ship girls has Sister Naihana seen?"

"..." Muna was stunned for a moment, "...I've never seen this before."

"I have never seen a record of a ship girl dying of old age. So theoretically speaking, I think a ship girl can definitely live to be 500 years old. But... in the data I have seen, more than 90% of ship girls often choose to dismantle their ship equipment and become human when they are in their thirties."
