Chapter 10: Auntie
In the afternoon, the sky turned cloudy and became much cooler. Three generations of the family, the five of them packed their things and prepared to set off to visit Marlon's aunt.
My aunt was the eldest daughter of my grandfather, who had four children in his life, two boys and two girls.
When Ma Long was a child, he came to his aunt's place a few times, and it was not far from their current home, living in a wealthy area, and it was only about a twenty-minute walk away.
My uncle was originally from the city, and his family has been a coachman of the Harry family for generations, and he is just a servant, but the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, as the coachman of the aristocratic family, his status is not comparable to ordinary people!
Ma Long and his group of five set off from home, his mother took his little sister's hand and walked in front with his father, and Ma Long accompanied his grandfather in the back. After a while, everyone arrived in the alley in front of my aunt's house.
Seeing the door of her aunt's house from a distance, the little sister broke away from her mother's hand and shouted, "Auntie...... Aunt ......" went straight out.
The little sister entered the door, and there was a burst of laughter inside, and she was hugged out in a blink of an eye.
The person who came was Aunt Marlon, the eldest sister of her father Marven, and the eldest daughter of her grandfather Martin, Martha.
Seeing Martha come out, her father greeted "Eldest sister......
"Marven, father, Rayla, and dear little Marlon, have grown so big!" Martha smiled and greeted everyone warmly.
"Auntie, I'm sixteen years old and an adult," Malone argued.
"Haha......" provoked a burst of laughter, and the sense of distance that had not been seen for a long time was shortened a lot!
My aunt opened the door, "Come, let's go into the room, sit down and talk" and invite everyone in.
My aunt's house is much bigger than Ma Long's, and the surrounding environment and indoor placement also give people a feeling of enjoyment. In the words of the earth, it is called: Tall!
Martha arranged for everyone to sit down on the sofa one by one, and then said: "You guys came just in time, there are many things now, Marlon and his uncle often don't come back for a few days, and his cousin Haiwen is going to school in Los Angeles again, and now this situation is even more afraid to let her come back, and I am sad alone." As she spoke, she held a kettle and poured coffee for everyone!
"It's good now, your family has moved to the city, so you can move around more."
Ma Long helped take the cup and said, "Auntie, you can sit and rest for a while, I'll just come." At the same time, he reached for the kettle.
"Come on, I'll sit for a while, be careful of the heat!" As he spoke, he handed the kettle to Malone and sat down on the sofa on the side.
Then he turned to Martin and said, "Father, why don't you live with me for a while, the second child has just moved in, I'm afraid they are very busy, and they don't have time to take care of you, and moving here will also add some popularity to my house." ”
Before the grandfather could speak, the father took over: "Actually, I'm not busy, and everything is ready." Father ......"
"It's okay for me to stay here for a while," my father interrupted before he finished speaking, and my grandfather was not very happy with my father.
"Alright then!" My father only whispered in agreement.
After chatting for a while, my aunt suddenly said, "By the way, Ma Long, there is the fruit you just bought in the cabinet over there, you can go and wash it and bring it over." As he spoke, he also pointed to the cabinet opposite.
Malone got up and answered "Okay" and went to open the cabinet.
Mother Rayla opened her mouth to stop and said: "You don't need to take it, there are snacks at home, and I just ate before I came, and my stomach is still full, so I can't eat." "It's a little restrained.
"Mom, I can eat it." The little sister suddenly interjected and made up for it!
The mother complained in a low voice, "I know how to eat", but she didn't stop it.
……
"By the way, does Malone have any arrangements?" My aunt asked. "I'll be seventeen years old in the New Year. If there is no arrangement, he can consider becoming an apprentice to his uncle, which can be regarded as a way out. ”
So, Malone only told the story of this morning again.
After listening to the morning's events, my aunt smiled and said, "There's Harry. If Wolf takes care of it, then there is nothing to worry about. It's just that I didn't expect Malone to have that ability! ”
Marlon asked confusedly, "Aunt to Harry. Does Wolf have an understanding? He was still a little curious about Wolf's situation, after all, he sent him to the knight level, or the thigh he was going to hug for a while in the future.
My aunt replied leisurely, "The current lord's name is Harry. Aubert is Wolfe's younger brother. So you just inadvertently found a big backer for yourself, as long as you don't make mistakes in the future, it will be very easy to rise to the top! ”
Ma Long's focus is obviously not on promotion: "Then shouldn't he be a lord?" Generally, the heirs of the lords are the eldest sons."
"It's true that the eldest son is true, but he is a knight fan, and he thinks that being a lord will distract him from the knightly path, so he gives up the position of heir, and the result is what you see now"!
……
Time slips away in small talk. After having dinner at my aunt's house, Malone and the others said goodbye and left.
My uncle never came back as my aunt said, and my grandfather lived in my aunt's house first, and he had lived here before, so he already had his daily necessities, and his father would send the rest tomorrow.
When I went home at night, there was nothing to entertain at this time, so I went back to my room to sleep after washing.
Malone has to go to the barracks tomorrow to report, and he will have to live there for a long time to come.
The regular army is different from the militia, and the militia also conducts simple training during the slack period, and usually lives at home, and has no salary.
The regular army is paid for full-time training and naturally has to live in barracks.
……
A good night's sleep!
The next day, the weather turned cooler.
Marlon got up early in the morning, put away his things, and after breakfast, he went out of the house at the sound of his parents' advice.
Just moved to a new house, there are a lot of chores, and with Ma Long's insistence, no one will send it.
When I arrived at the barracks, there was already a group of people at the door, dozens of people. It is the young people who have passed the assessment in the past two days, as well as their parents and relatives, who are here to say goodbye.
is different from Ma Long's confusion when he was a soldier in his previous life, these people are local when they are soldiers, and it is not too difficult to meet, so naturally they will not be inseparable.
After a closer look, Malone didn't see Harvey, it seems that his family hasn't settled down yet, and he shouldn't be here today.
After waiting for less than half an hour, a group of soldiers walked out of the barracks, with neat steps and imposing momentum, which was indeed not comparable to the militia.
The voices outside the camp gate gradually became quieter until they fell silent, waiting for the next change.
I saw this group of soldiers walking to the door and standing still, turning to face everyone, their movements were neat and neat, but Ma Long felt that there was still a gap with the military parade in his previous life.
It's not difficult for the team to do this, but the difficult thing is that thousands of people can do it, that's the ability!
The captain at the head, Ta took a step forward and asked in a loud voice: "Who is Ma Long?" ”
Ma Long didn't expect to ask himself as soon as he opened his mouth, and hurriedly said: "I am"
