Chapter 225: Surprise?
"Haoyi is about to get up!" A woman's scream instantly penetrated the automatic door made of thick steel armor, and suddenly smashed Hao Yi's sweet dream into a clang, because of its excessive lethality, it even made Hao Yi as if he had suddenly suffered an electric shock, and he actually jumped and convulsed a few times on the soft and comfortable bed.
"Mom, help!" Haoyi, who was awakened, turned over and buried his head under the pillow, letting out a rather "desperate" wail.
"Buzz!" With a soft sound, the automatic door of the bedroom opened, and a ball of pink rolled to the big bed with a gust of fragrant wind, and a lotus root-like jade hand leaned under the pillow, and a more lethal scream suddenly sounded in this small bedroom, like pulling an air defense alarm.
"You dead Haoyi! Don't hurry up yet! ”
Dare to be in Haoyi's bedroom, let out this scream as high as one hundred and fifty decibels, which makes Haoyi's hairs stand upside down, naturally it will not be someone else, it is Haoyi's new wife Erin.
"Ouch! Tap, tap, auntie, are you preparing to murder your husband? Hao Yi, who was dragged out of the bed by the ear, held his ear and the gray and deadly soft wattle with both hands, and begged for mercy with a painful face.
"Hmph, who told you to sleep lazy and refuse to get up? Any idea what time it is outside? Erin, who was wearing a one-piece pink dress, crossed her small waist, pouted her delicate nose, and said dissatisfiedly.
"What time is it? Isn't it time for breakfast, auntie? Hao Yi rubbed his ears that were twisted purple, and hurriedly asked with a smile on his face.
"Breakfast? Hmph, when you get up for breakfast, everyone should have starved to death a long time ago! Erin didn't give Haoyi any face, but raised her eyebrows and continued to scold coquettishly: "Don't hurry up yet, uncle, they have been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
"Huh? Uncle? Uh, what are they looking for me? Hao Yi scratched the back of his head and stared at him in astonishment.
"Hmph, still ask me? You've forgotten about it! Last night, I was asked to wake you up early today! Erin was obviously a little impatient, and angrily raised her lotus finger and poked at Hao Yi's head to remind Hao Yi word by word.
"Ahh Miserable! I remembered......" Haoyi suddenly screamed, and then jumped off the big bed, raising his feet and about to rush out of the bedroom.
"Hey, you're back! Don't have any clothes on? Seeing that Hao Yi was about to rush out wearing only a pair of pants, Erin was so anxious that she stomped her feet and shouted at Hao Yi's back.
As soon as the words fell, Haoyi swooped back to the bedroom, took the pile of clothes that Erin picked up from the bedside, and hurriedly turned around and rushed out again.
"Alas! Why did the old lady think of marrying this guy in the first place! Erin stroked her forehead and grumbled weakly, leaned over to pick up a sock that had fallen from the ground, and chased out the door with a gray and depressed expression.
It's been more than a month since that tragic space battle. The district of St. Proli seems to have regained peace and tranquility, and the post-war reconstruction work is proceeding in an orderly manner, and several large cities, including the new capital, Tico City, have also completed the restoration and reconstruction work, and the shadow of war has gradually begun to fade in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people in the Republic.
Today is a special day, the rebuilt Tico City is ready to hold a celebration ceremony, and Bob's new government and the refugees of Tico City who are stranded in the spare base under the Tenjin Terrace are preparing to move back to the rebuilt Haode Tico City.
As early as a few days ago, Bob had already greeted Hao Yi in advance, asking Hao Yi to participate in this celebration ceremony with him, and Bob repeatedly told Hao Yi not to forget this matter. The reason why Bob had to take Hao Yi to participate in the celebration ceremony was because Bob recognized Hao Yi's very special identity at the moment.
After experiencing the civil war of the Republic and the war to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, Haoyi's prestige and status among the hundreds of millions of people in the Republic at this moment have risen to an unprecedented height. In the eyes of ordinary people and even officers and soldiers in the army, Haoyi seems to have become the protector in their minds. They stubbornly believe that as long as Haoyi is there, their happy and peaceful life will be guaranteed. It can even be said that Haoyi's influence has far surpassed that of Bob as the new prime minister. If Hao Yi said that he wanted to be the prime minister or president of the republic, then there is no doubt that hundreds of millions of St. Prolli's people, without even thinking about it, would raise their hands and feet and resolutely support Hao Yi.
However, Bob was not at all worried that Hao Yi would have any impact on his dominance. In addition to Erin's relationship, Bob thinks he knows Hao Yi, a young man in his early twenties. According to his judgment, Hao Yi has no interest in the battle for status in the power field at all, and it is impossible for him to become Jeff's second.
Therefore, the main purpose of Bob's insistence on letting Hao Yi attend the celebration ceremony was to use Hao Yi's position and influence in the hearts of hundreds of millions of military and people in the Republic to revive the somewhat sluggish morale of the people, so as to speed up the pace of rejuvenation of the Republic. Bob, who has a very political vision, has already smelled a stronger smell of gunpowder from the previous invasion of the Fifth Theater Task Force.
Bob concluded that the threat of war was still present for the nascent Republic of St. Proli. Only by using Haoyi's influence can we boost the morale of the military and civilians of the republic, and take advantage of the rare and brief time of peace to build a stronger republic. Only in this way, in the future of Keyujian, can Bob hope to lead the army and people of the republic to resist the test of the nascent republic in another war.
Of course, Bob didn't say anything to Haoyi about all this. In the eyes of the old Bob, except for Haoyi who suddenly shows the temperament of an iron-blooded leader at a critical moment, at other times, he is at best a hairy boy who is a little confused. Naturally, there is no need for him to explain too much with Hao Yi, who has no interest in politics for the time being.
Haoyi, who rushed out of the bedroom in a hurry with his pants, naturally inevitably received a scolding from the black-faced Bob. Because Haoyi slept lazily, the celebration ceremony was forced to be postponed for a full three hours. However, because of Haoyi's sacred status in the hearts of hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians, all the people who participated in the celebration ceremony did not complain at all, and stood up under the summer sun one by one.
The whole process of the celebration ceremony is also quite simple. In the spare base under the Tianshen Terrace, Bob first took Hao Yi and a group of government dignitaries to inspect the phalanx of military and civilian representatives who were ready to go in the base. Bob then ascended to the podium set up in the middle of the temporary venue at the base and delivered a speech to the military and civilian representatives to celebrate the completion of the reconstruction of Tico City. Even Haoyi was forced to the rostrum by Bob and read a speech written in advance by Haode.
Then, amid the earth-shattering applause and cheers of the soldiers and civilians, Bob led everyone into the convoy, led the mighty military and civilian team, out of the spare base, and headed straight for the rebuilt city of Haode. After arriving at the destination, the government building in the heart of Nuevo Tico, there was another grand celebration of military and civilian performances.
The celebration ceremony is inevitably another feast. Because of the thousands of military and civilian representatives attending the feast, the feast could only be held in the wide granite square in front of the government building. Even though there were still "wreckage" left over from the celebration performances such as fireworks and balloons in the square, thousands of soldiers and civilians were still eating very happily, and from time to time there were bursts of "Long live the republic!" "Long live my uncle's god of war!" "Long live the Prime Minister!" And so the shouts broke out.
"I said Lao Bao, you're about to die Young Master Ben!" Hao Yi, who had limited alcohol strength, had to resort to the trick of "getting drunk" in order to escape the military and civilian representatives who were toasting in front of him, and was "helped" into the lounge in the government building early. Squinting and seeing Bob walk into the lounge, Hao Yi, who was lying on a simple bed that was not very large, pouted and complained dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say that you would let Young Master Ben go back to rest after just shaking around?" How do you come up with so many sermons? Want to play me? ”
"Hehe, why is it uncomfortable to be treated as a god by so many soldiers and civilians?" Looking at Hao Yi lying on the bed, Bob showed a rather playful smile on his black face.
"Well, Lao Tzu doesn't want to be a god of labor!" Hearing Bob mention the word "god", Haoyi unexpectedly remembered Kara, who claimed to be the god of star spirits, and subconsciously shuddered, and hurriedly interrupted: "By the way, Lao Bao, I want to tell you something!" ”
"Oh? What's up? Bob asked, a little surprised.
"It's nothing, it's just that Young Master Ben has to go home to visit his relatives!" Haoyi sat up from the rest bed, took a glass of water handed over by Bob, took a big sip from his neck, and said lightly.
"Going home to visit family? Which home to go back to? Bob probably didn't expect Haoyi to suddenly want to go home, and asked with a little stunned eyes.
"Nonsense, of course it's Young Master Ben's hometown! My mom and dad, uh, it's your in-laws' home! Haoyi seemed a little dissatisfied with Bob's reaction, and grinned.
"You're saying you're going back to Poole?"
"That's right, Edel Planet in the Poole Star Zone! Young Master Ben's infancy, childhood, and adolescent rebellion were all spent there! How? Are you a dead old bag who won't let me go back and have a look? Haoyi counted them with his fingers, and then tilted his head to look at Bob with a surprised expression on his face and asked.
"My uncle, if you want to leave, who can stop you?" Bob smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said, "However, with your current popularity, you still dare to go back to the Poole Star Zone?" You must know that this is the territory of the Fifth War Zone of the Federation, and a month ago, you just reimbursed them for an entire task force and hundreds of elite warships! Do you think those turtle grandsons can get around you? ”
"Uh, it's a big deal, Lao Tzu sneaked back, isn't it okay?" Hao Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed lightly and said, "Hey, Young Master Ben hasn't been home for almost two years!" ”
"Alright! I'd like to find a way to get someone to give you a ride back! Seeing Haoyi like this, Bob, as an elder, couldn't bear it, and said with a deep sigh: "However, before you go back, I have a surprise I want to give you!" ”
"Surprise?" Haoyi was stunned again, blinked his little eyes and said, "Uh, Lao Bao, don't you want to give Young Master Ben a beautiful woman, right?" Tut-tut, I didn't expect Young Master Ben to have a second wife so soon! ”
"Bastard boy, be careful that my niece swallows you alive!" Knowing that Hao Yi was just joking, Bob couldn't help but give Hao Yi a burst of chestnuts, blowing his beard and glaring,
