Chapter 156 Big Family
Unlike other departments which have larger numbers of people, the number of people in Fisheries Administration is really small.
Especially since there are only two adults, Yixian and Chongqing. Of course, if you must say, Ninghai and Pinghai can also be considered adults. They can take care of themselves and others. In short, everyone lives together and eats together on weekdays.
Chongqing had asked Changchun to call people early, and except for us, the rest of the fishery officials didn't come back for so long. Anyway, when we prepared the food and put it on the table, they still hadn't come back.
There was nothing to do for the time being, so Su Xia sat on a bench in the shaded garden corridor and played with his phone. Considering that he would have dinner soon, he did not play games, but chose to watch some videos to kill time.
"Cat, such a cute cat."
Su Xia was so engrossed in watching that he suddenly heard a voice beside his ear. He turned around and saw a black-haired girl standing behind him, looking at the screen of his mobile phone.
The girl had long black hair and her clothes were dirty. It was obvious that she had been having fun all morning. Is there such a person in the fishery administration? Who is this person? Su Xia couldn't recognize who it was at once, and opened her mouth and closed it again.
The girl didn't notice that he was embarrassed, embarrassed that he didn't recognize her. She stared at his phone screen, and when the video was about to end, she reached out and touched his phone screen, saying, "It's over, change to the next one."
The girl seemed to like the videos very much. She almost leaned on his shoulder to watch them. Su Xia picked up the phone and asked, "Do you like watching this... Here you go."
The girl took the phone without hesitation and started playing with it.
"Ah, the Admiral is really here?"
Another black-haired girl, who looked 90% similar to the girl who was playing with his phone, but with a slightly different temperament. One spoke carelessly, like a naughty child, and the other spoke softly.
Su Xia frowned slightly and said, "I don't know him."
"Admiral."
The one who spoke this time was a girl with blonde twin ponytails. She was not tall, but not short either. Compared to the two black-haired girls, her breasts were not small. In fact, they were quite big.
Su Xia felt really dumbfounded. Blonde girl, are you such a big shot in the fishery administration ship? Who are you, Ellie?
As someone who has watched a lot of anime, the first name that came to his mind when he saw the girl for the first time was that.
No problem, even if I don't know who it is, I just need to know that it's his ship girl. Su Xia thought about it, raised his hand, and greeted, "You guys are back?"
"I'm back." said the softly spoken black-haired girl.
"Where's Changchun?" Su Xia asked.
"She's in the back, with Haiqi."
"Snow Wind?"
" Yukikaze isn't here with us. She usually lives with the Kagero-class."
"Traitor Xuefeng." The black-haired girl who spoke carelessly put down her phone and looked up.
"Zhaohe, shut up." Yixian came to the garden corridor at some point, and the usually gentle girl now had a frown on her face.
Zhao He glanced at Yi Xian, the black-haired girl who spoke carelessly. Yi Xian looked very angry, but she didn't dare to talk back, and whispered, "I was just kidding."
"I don't care if it's a joke or not, you are not allowed to say that at any time." Yixian said, "And now her name is not Xuefeng, but Danyang."
"Everyone calls her Xuefeng." Zhaohe was not convinced this time, "She doesn't care."
"Everyone can choose not to care, including her, but we cannot," said Yixian.
"Why?" Zhaohe asked.
Zhao He was about to continue talking when the soft-spoken black-haired girl pulled her clothes and said, "Zhao He, why do you care so much? Just remember ... Stop playing with your phone and give it back to the admiral. You're so dirty, go wash your face and hands quickly, and then we'll have dinner."
"oh."
Su Xia took the phone that Zhao He handed back, watched the three girls leave, and said, "Ying Rui, Zhao He, and..."
When he heard Yixian calling Zhaohe, the girl who was playing with his phone, he immediately understood who the two black-haired girls were. But the girl with blond twin ponytails was definitely not a top figure in the Fisheries Administration.
"Feihong." Yixian said.
"Feihong?" Su Xia was stunned for a moment, "Um...Aili."
"Yes, Ellie. Her name is Ellie to be exact."
Su Xia nodded. He knew everything. They were Yingrui, Zhaohe and Ai Li. To some extent, they could also be called Yingrui, Zhaohe and Feihong.
Yingrui class cruisers were three protected cruisers ordered by the Qing government. Two of them were ordered by Armstrong and Vickers in the UK, and the third ship, Feihong, was ordered by the New York Shipyard in the US. However, before the completion and delivery, the Qing government collapsed due to the Xinhai Revolution. After deferred payment negotiations, Zhaohe and Yingrui joined the Republic of China Navy. Feihong was sold to Greece and renamed Aili, also translated as Aili.
Su Xia glanced at Yixian. If it was Yixian, she would never care about his irresponsibility. He said, "Yingrui and Zhaohe, to be honest, I really didn't recognize them at first. I only remember that they had their hair tied up in pigtails and wore the clothes of the Republic of China."
Yixian asked, "Does the Admiral recognize people by their hairstyle and clothes?"
Su Xia laughed. He really recognized people by their hairstyle and clothes. Of course, body shape could be considered one, but definitely not face. Reality was not a game. People would change their hairstyles and clothes. Sometimes it was really hard for him to tell who was who.
"Admiral, I just remember the old days." Yixian said, "Nowadays, there are no people who have that kind of hairstyle or wear clothes from the Republic of China era. They are so old-fashioned."
"Aren't you wearing a cheongsam?" Su Xia retorted, paused and then laughed, "No problem, the cheongsam is a good dress . It doesn't look old-fashioned on Yixian at all, it looks really good."
Yixian didn't say anything, but just thought, I've never seen you so good at speaking before, Admiral.
"I just heard Ying Rui say that Xuefeng... No, it's Danyang. Isn't Danyang with you?" Su Xia asked again.
"As for Danyang, she's more compatible with the Japanese." Yixian hesitated and said, "Danyang, she was originally a Japanese ship, and there's always a sense of alienation when she's with us."
Yixian continued, "Danyang is a very sensitive child. She can never forget her original identity. This is why I scolded Zhaohe so harshly. I can't call Danyang a traitor, no matter why. Of course I know Zhaohe has no ill intentions, but Danyang may care."
Yixian finally said, "There are still many people in the garrison who call Danyang Xuefeng, because everyone is used to it. Admiral, you know that the name Xuefeng is much more famous than Danyang. I can't control how others call her. I can only take care of us and not let Xuefeng think that we treat her as an outsider."
The Danyang was originally the Japanese Kagero-class Yukikaze, a legendary destroyer. It was handed over to the Republic of China as compensation after the end of World War II and once served as the navy's flagship.
Su Xia didn't know much about Danyang's current situation, so he didn't say anything and just listened.
Changchun and Haiqi arrived late. Haiqi was a girl with black hair and twin ponytails.
Compared to Xiao Changchun who rushed over to her as soon as they met, Haiqi was undoubtedly much more mature. When she saw Su Xia, she called out, "Admiral."
Changchun took Haiqi and went to the restaurant first. Su Xia watched them walk into the living room and disappear into the corridor.
Yixian noticed Su Xia's gaze, and she called out softly, "Admiral?"
Su Xia was just a little emotional and concerned.
The Haiqi cruiser was a protected cruiser purchased by the Qing government from Britain after the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 as the core force for rebuilding the Beiyang Fleet. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, it was too old and had to be sunk as part of the Yangtze River blockade.
Changchun and its sister ships Fushun, Anshan and Taiyuan are known as the four great warships of the People's Navy. The four great warships were the most important assets of the People's Navy, which lacked independent construction capabilities at the time, and they also devoted themselves to the accumulation of experience and talent training. Until the early 1970s, they were the largest surface ships in China.
The People's Navy in Changchun is towing the Haiqi, which was purchased by the Qing government. Why does it make people want to cry when they see one new and one old?
In any case, the People's Navy has risen and is fully capable of defending the country, so everyone can rest assured.
Su Xia smiled.
"It's okay, let's go... Now that everyone is back, we can have lunch."
Yixian hesitated for a moment. She didn't care so much and wanted to speak for no reason: "Why don't we call Danyang?"
Su Xia tilted her head and looked at Yixian.
"OK."
