Chapter 281: Dinner
Evening.
Baronial Manor.
Dinner time for the Faren family.
This is the first time that the family has been together since Willy's sister-in-law, Lithorn, married into the Ferron family.
Originally, Thorpe was always absent because of government affairs, and Litoen was always accompanied by the residence of the pro-military department because she had to take care of Thorps's daily chores, so the family had not been reunited for dinner recently.
Just as the affairs of the pro-military department were being handled relatively quickly today, Thorpe took his wife back to the Baron's Manor to have dinner with his parents and younger siblings.
In the dining room, the original round table has been replaced by a long table.
This was Mrs. Swaen's proposal.
Mrs. Sawin believes that when a family of five eats, they don't need to care about the issue of identity, after all, they all come up from the bottom of life, although they need to pay attention to aristocratic etiquette, but they don't need to deliberately emphasize the difference in identity.
But now that Litoen is married to Thorpes, the Pheren family has added a new population.
Mrs. Sawin felt that in order to make the Faeron family look dignified and orderly, she specially sent someone to customize the long table.
At the present long table, Lake and Mrs. Swain sat at the top.
Thorpes and his wife sat on the left side of the long table, and Willy and Velia sat on the right.
According to Mrs. Swain, the Faeron family will continue to be lined up as soon as a new population is added.
Naturally, Willy has no opinion on his mother's approach.
However, Vilia had a lot of complaints, and she felt that what her mother had done was wrong. But when asked what was wrong, Vilia couldn't say, at most she could only say some crooked reasons, in fact, as long as Mrs. Sawyn asked for it, she wanted to resist.
In Willy's opinion, this is Velia's rebellious period.
In a child's formative stage, there are generally three rebellious periods. Now Velia is in the second rebellious period between the ages of seven and nine. For her mother's strict requirements, Vilia always rejects from the bottom of her heart. But because of Mrs. Swain's majesty, she had to obey each time.
"Big brother, it's been a long time since you've been home for dinner. ”
Vilia put a slice of grilled fish into her mouth: "Look at Willy, as the lord of White Bear Town, his daily work is very leisurely, you should learn from him." ”
After saying that, Velia gave Willy a defiant look.
She was suggesting that Willy wasn't working hard enough.
Lake and Mrs. Sawin were no stranger to this, and it was the most common thing for Willy and Velia to quarrel.
At the beginning, Mrs. Sawin would reprimand Velia for being unruly and brotherless, but under Lake's persuasion, she also wanted to open it, and such a bickering was actually a sign of the harmony between the brother and sister.
"Shut your mouth, Vilia. ”
Willy directly gave Velia a brain breakdown, without leaving his hand at all, and could directly hear a grunt.
Vilia snorted in pain, and wanted to return it, but seeing Mrs. Sawin's eyes, Nunu finally chose to continue eating.
"Vaway's responsibilities are much heavier than ours, and they just look idle. ”
Thorpes smiled faintly and explained to Vilia.
Litoen, who was on the side, had just married into the Fallon family, and was still a little nervous at first, but after feeling such a harmonious family atmosphere, her heart relaxed a lot.
And to enter this kind of family, is also a kind of luck.
"Vilia, you're too young to know Baron Willy's contribution to White Bear. In White Bear Town, Baron Willy has a very high status. ”
Litoen smiled and said to Vilia.
This is not to compliment Willy, Litoen's father was the deputy mayor, and before she married into the Ferron family, she often heard his father praise the baron.
However, sister-in-law, no matter how respectable Willy is, it can't change the fact that he bullied his sister. ”
Velia chewed the fish in her mouth hard.
Litoen smiled, she liked her husband's little sister.
In fact, before marrying into the Ferron family, Litoen had already become acquainted with Vilia.
"Litoun, in the future, if it's not in public, don't call Willy so formally, just call him by his name. ”
It was Mrs. Sawaen who spoke, and she also preferred this peaceful family atmosphere in comparison.
Although the dignity and order of status are important, the other family exchanges are still warmer and softer.
"Yes, sister-in-law, it's okay to call me by my name in private. ”
Willy added too, lest Litthorn feel embarrassed.
"I see. ”
Litton smiled faintly and bowed slightly to Mrs. Sawin and Willy.
"Willy, is the situation out there still complicated?"
Ryker, the head of the family, who had not spoken, asked Willy after swallowing the food in his mouth.
Although Lake never cared about the government affairs of White Bear Town, the news of the upheaval of the situation still reached Lake's ears.
At first, Lake thought that White Bear Town was going to be in great trouble, and he asked Vali about it, but Vali was relaxed and just told him not to worry.
However, as the rumors grew, Lake was also a little worried.
"The situation is still complicated, but we in White Bear are good enough to deal with it. ”
Willy said to his father, Lake, that he was not simply reassuring Lake, he was telling the truth.
"Yes, father, you don't need to worry about the situation in White Bear Town at all. The current White Bear Town will not only be able to cope with the external crisis, but will even seize the opportunity to promote the further development of White Bear Town. ”
Thorpes also added from the side.
With the growth of government capabilities, the current Thorpes has also changed a lot from before.
"Opportunity?"
Lake raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, every challenge is also an opportunity, that's what Willy said. ”
Thorpes glanced at Willy and smiled faintly.
"Hmmm......"
Lake shook his head slightly.
I still think too much, and it's better to care less about the affairs of White Bear Town.
His two sons have grown into big men unconsciously, and as a father, there is really no need to overwork.
"Willy, Coulson, and Eric, the kids, seem to be active? I heard from the Guards that these two guys have been staying near the mine and haven't been back to White Bear for a few days. ”
Lake stopped, and Thorpes took the initiative to open the conversation again.
Dinner at the Feron family has always been like this, and there are basically no times when it is completely quiet.
"Those two guys seem to be playing up some secret thing, and I don't know much about the dynamics of the two. ”
Willy responded.
There was also a hint of curiosity in his heart, but the two did not take the initiative to report, and there was no need for Willy to get to the bottom of it.
Dinner lasted about forty minutes.
A large part of this time is spent on communication between families.
"By the way, there's one more thing to announce to you. Just as dinner was about to end, Thorpes suddenly said, "I'm about to become a father." ”
Litoen, who was on the side, also smiled softly when she heard this.
"Oh my God!"
Mrs. Swain, who was wiping the corners of her mouth, suddenly widened her eyes and opened her mouth with a look of disbelief.
She looked at Lithorn, who was smiling, "Is this true?"
"Yes, Mother. ”
Litoen replied softly.
"What a happy news. ”
Lake, on the side, was trying his best to control his movements and maintain the stability of the head of the family.
But the flushed complexion and the upturned corners of his mouth had betrayed his heart.
"I'm going to be an aunt!"
Velia froze for a moment, then slammed herself to her feet.
Her hands were twisted together, and her eyes were full of little stars.
He is finally no longer the youngest child of the Fei Lun family.
"Congratulations, eldest brother, sister-in-law. ”
Willy also smiled and congratulated.
However, compared to his parents and Velia, Willy is much more indifferent.
Today, at the first glance of Litthorn, Willy sensed the breath of new life in Litton's body.
He didn't have anything to break it, and today the eldest brother and his wife made a special trip back for dinner, and there should be a reason to announce the news, so Willy didn't say it in advance.
"When the baby is born, Aunt Vilia will take on the responsibility of taking care of the child. ”
Vilia looked very happy: "I have a lot of experience in taking care of new lives. ”
"Where did you get your experience?"
Willy retorted from the side.
"Wally was raised by me. ”
Velia glared at Willy viciously.
Groov!
Willy's fingers knocked on Velya's head again.
For a moment, the family fell into a strong laughter.
......
After dinner, in the courtyard of the manor, Willy and Thorpes walked together.
There is no communication between the two as brothers, and they are usually busy with government affairs, and the communication between the two is also a business matter.
"Before I knew it, I was already married. ”
Speaking of this, Thorpes suddenly sighed a little.
I still remember the excited expressions of my family after I was selected as Baron Kells's guard, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, I had reached such a position.
Thorpes looked at his brother Willy beside him.
It is precisely because of this miraculous younger brother, the fate of himself and the entire Faeron family, that the fate has taken a leap.
"The burden on the eldest brother is a little heavier. ”
Willy said with a smile.
Thorpes also laughed: "So it is even more important to protect the safety of White Bear Town." White Bear Town is much more important to our Feron family than the others. Guarding White Bear Town means guarding the Faren family. ”
Willy snorted: "You should also know the true essence of White Bear Town, so you don't need to worry. It's the eldest brother, you, Sandor, and Dahn need to improve their own strength. You'd better break through to the knighthood sooner rather than later, so that you'll be physically stronger to withstand the pressure that comes with it. ”
The life energy liquid had already been given to the three of Thorpes before, and the physical fitness of the three of them had reached the peak of mortals, and they only needed to further practice the knight's breathing method to achieve the promotion of knights.
The current White Bear Town not only has Boudal, but also Jarvis, and if a few people encounter any questions about the knight's practice, they can find someone to give them advice. With the current reserves of White Bear Town, it is not difficult to cultivate a few knight-level transcendentals.
"I know, outside of work, I will also step up my practice of knighthood. ”
Thorpes nodded in the face of Willy's request.
If he and others are promoted to knights, it will also be a good thing for White Bear Town.
Not only has the number of transcendents increased, but in some diplomatic occasions, it can also enhance the majesty of White Bear Town.
After all, a transcendent White Bear Town magnate is more deterrent than ordinary people.
"Next, we need to gather strength and wait for the situation to change further. ”
Willy said lightly.
The topic eventually shifted to business, although in Thorpes's eyes, the business of White Bear Town was the private business of the Pheren family.
"That's true, recuperation and preparation for war are the only things we need to do right now. ”
Thorpston paused, and then said, "White Bear Town will definitely be stronger." ”
"I think so too. ”
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
