Chapter 675: Thessaloniki (I)
The morning sun shone on the courtyard as well. He had just taken a shower and changed into his best clothes, and his whole person was full of joy.
The warm breeze of the Mediterranean Sea blowing on your face is really addictive, much better than home. Monbiklev remembers that it was very cold in his hometown of Sliven, and the cold wind from the Arctic blew all the way to the Romanian plain, blocked by the Bulgarian mountains. Sliven is not fortunate to be in the north of the mountains, so he often encounters severe cold of minus ten degrees in winter. As a child, Monpiklev was wrapped like a bear in winter and playfully played with children.
This lasted until Monbyklev was five years old, when the family was mobilized to Thessaloniki. The warm environment of the Mediterranean conquered his heart at once, and the only bad thing was that there were a lot of mosquitoes.
However, with the defeat of Bulgaria, the Peace of Nay gave the best port in Bulgaria to Greece. And the bitter days of Monbiklev, who was only nine years old, came, his father died in this damned war, and his mother was completely pulled by him. However, after years of hard work, his mother died of a serious illness when he was still an adult, and of course there was also the oppression of the Greeks against them, the former Bulgarians.
But now Monpiklev is not worried about the future, now he is full of confidence. Because he became a subject of the kingdom, although it is now called the United Kingdom, but in Monbiklev this is the Kingdom of Bulgaria.
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, picked up a piece of black bread and knocked on the door next door.
"Verex, you're ready to go, why are you still struggling."
"Okay Munch, I'll be fine."
As the words fell, a young man with flaxen hair walked out with a loaf of bread in his mouth.
Glancing at his clothes, Monbiklev said with a frown. "Why don't you change into a nice outfit, this is to welcome the army into the city. The girls won't look at you again. ”
"Get used to it, get used to it."
Verex, who was lectured by Monbiklev, took a look at the clothes on his body that were indeed inappropriate, and swished back. A few minutes later, Verex, dressed like a groom, stood triumphantly in front of Monbiklev.
"That's it."
Although it still feels a little incongruous, it looks much more pleasing to the eye.
"Let's go, or we won't be able to catch the car."
The two of them walked briskly towards the place where they were boarding.
"The car is coming, hurry up."
"Why are there so many people?"
"Squeeze in first, or it'll be too late."
The two of them squeezed into a bus that looked like canned sardines, and found a slightly wider place to stay.
Glancing at his crumpled clothes, Verex couldn't help but speak. "There aren't usually so many cars in this car."
"They probably all think the same way we do."
Because of the stuffiness and the emanation of various smells, neither of them wanted to talk much.
The two of them followed the car all the way to the city, and when they were about to reach their destination, they saw a large number of people dressed in costumes on the street from time to time, as if they were going to celebrate a holiday.
This made the two people who were uncomfortably crowded in the car feel a lot more comfortable, and finally waited until they arrived at Aemond Street, and the two people who got off the car felt that they had come to a sea of joy, full of people singing and dancing. It's as if the whole of Thessaloniki came here.
"Munch, look, that girl in yellow over there."
Following the direction of Verex's finger, Monbiklev saw a girl in a bright yellow costume chatting with her companions. The smile on his face was indeed fascinating, and he noticed that more than two people were looking at the girl, and many people around him were caught up in it.
"Alright, Verex. We're here to welcome the army into the city, don't forget. ”
It was clear that Monpiklev's words did not work, and Verex was completely captivated. "If only I could marry her and be my wife."
"Wake up, Villex, it's time for us to go."
After speaking, Monbiklev did not wait for Verex to speak, and forcibly pulled him to continue walking. With so many years of experience working at the docks, Verex, who was born as a small trader, was not an opponent, and was directly pulled away.
"Stop, my shoes are off. Hi Munch, my shoes are off. ”
……
"These are the new shoes I just bought."
Verex, who had only one shoe on his feet, looked at Montbyklev with a look of resentment, both laughing and guilty.
"I thought you were lying to me, so I didn't care so much."
Mombiklev looked at his friend's angry expression, and he didn't know why he suddenly wanted to laugh.
"Hahahaha."
"Munch."
"Okay, I won't laugh anymore, promise not to laugh. Hahahaha. ”
The two of them, who almost died together, finally reached a consensus with Verex wearing shoes and Monbiklev barefoot.
The two saw that the time was almost up, and hurriedly chose a good position and looked forward to it. And like-minded people stood all over the streets, and they were all waiting.
Without making them wait, in a roar, the mighty Romanian army appeared in front of everyone with neat steps.
At the head was the military band, which walked in the front with military music, followed by soldiers in neat uniforms, who walked by with neat steps and their heads held high in the cheers of everyone. The strong masculinity exuded by these tall and mighty soldiers immediately detonated the atmosphere, and the scene burst into cheers. Flower ribbons flew in the air, 0 made the people present get carried away and cheer.
Both of them were infected by this atmosphere, and they cheered with everyone with passion.
Monbiklev looked at these passing troops and exclaimed passionately. "This is our army."
"Yes, this is our army, and no one can bully us anymore."
With the passage of the infantry brigade, tanks, artillery, armored vehicles and other equipment followed. The heavy equipment was lined up in two rows and drove through the street, the soldiers in the cars waving to the cheers of the crowd.
This naturally received an enthusiastic response, and many bold girls made gestures of flying kisses, making the scene more lively.
And this scene made a thought flash in the minds of many young and vigorous young people, I want to join the army.
"I'm going to join the army."
Monbiklev looked at the army in front of him and couldn't help but say what he thought.
Listening to his friend's sudden decision, Verex couldn't help but ask. "Munch. Have you really decided? ”
"Yes, I've decided."
"Then I wish you the best of luck, Munch."
"What about you?"
"Of course, I still set up a stall on Venice Street, and if only I could buy a shop there in the future, I will definitely buy a shop there again."
In this lively greeting, the two young people each imagined the future.
