"Uncle, we're here!"

A slightly harsh brake sound interrupted Haoyi's thoughts, and when he opened his somewhat tired eyelids, a row of very simple puzzle rooms appeared in front of him.

"That's where Mademoiselle works?" A freight locomotive loaded with various building materials rumbled past from the side, and the billowing smoke and dust brought up were almost about to completely cover the row of low puzzle houses in front of him.

"Yes, uncle!" A staff officer in the front passenger seat nodded respectfully to Hao Yi and said.

"Go back first!" After a little groaning, Haoyi opened the side door, explained to the staff officer, and stepped out.

"Uncle, there are many fish and dragons here, according to the opinion of the subordinates, it is best to ......" The staff officer hurriedly followed the locomotive, looked back at the environment a little nervously, and suggested to Hao Yi in a low voice.

"Alright, don't be verbose, let's go back quickly!" Hao Yi waved his hand to interrupt the staff officer's words, and looked at the iron fence in the center of the row of simple puzzle houses with a slight frown, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to follow me!" Don't worry, there are really few guys who can threaten your uncle and me on this shijie! ”

After saying that, Hao Yi threw down the staff officer who was a little stunned, raised his feet and walked straight towards the iron fence.

"Why are you stunned? Go back, go back! After watching Haoyi's figure disappear into the iron fence in a daze, the staff officer finally came to his senses, shouted at a group of marines neatly lined up in front of an armored personnel carrier, and turned around and got back into the armed off-road locomotive beside him. After a low roar of engines, armed off-road locomotives and armored personnel carriers drove out of the gray and smoky area.

After a long conversation with Bob, the two leaders decided on the overall strategy for the next step of the whole country. After that, Bob solemnly proposed again that he wanted Haoyi and Erin to give birth to the next generation as soon as possible. Bob said that although his wife Imel has put forward a lot of reasons, the most important one is that the Teutonic family and the Hao family must have someone to follow.

At that time, looking at Old Bob's serious bearded face, Haoyi was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to this request that made him a little embarrassed. And when Bob left, Haoyi remembered that recently, he had not been home at all since he was busy with military affairs, and he didn't even know where his wife Erin was now.

"Uncle, it seems that Lao Tzu is really not a qualified husband!" Shaking his head and laughing bitterly at himself, Haoyi hurriedly went to change into a well-fitting military uniform, and by the way, asked his adjutant to check where Erin was now.

In order to take care of her paralyzed uncle, Erin once told Haoyi that she wanted to live with her uncle and aunt. At that time, Haoyi, who was focused on military affairs, agreed to Erin's request without thinking about it. After Tico City was rebuilt again, Bob and his family moved back to the city, and Erin naturally returned to Tico City with them. Therefore, Hao Yi and his wife have almost become separated, and Hao Yi, who is very busy, is naturally not very clear about the current situation of his wife.

Haoyi was slightly surprised when he heard his subordinates report that Erin had been working as a preschool teacher near a construction site in Neutico City these days.

In Haoyi's view, although Erin is kind-hearted and pure and lovely, because of her prominent background, she inevitably has some delicate temper, and she and Bob and his wife moved back to Tico City, Erin must accompany her uncle and aunt at most, and occasionally go shopping to treat herself. Maybe Haoyi never dreamed that Erin would actually do such a profession that requires strong love.

"Prepare the car, go to the place where the lady works!"

Without too much hesitation, Haoyi, who faintly felt a sense of guilt in his heart, decided to take a look, and I don't know when it turned out to be a somewhat strange wife.

In front of the iron gate, two militiamen, one old and one young, in light armor, each holding a worn-out spike rifle, were chatting about something. Seeing Hao Yi striding over, the young militiaman reacted first, hurriedly stepped forward in a decent manner, and respectfully gave a military salute to Hao Yi.

"Uncle!" The old militiaman, who was a little older, was stunned at first, but when he turned around and saw that it was Haoyi, he followed with a military salute in a little panic and said loudly.

In order to make up for the huge disadvantage in the strength of the new army, the General Staff issued an emergency mobilization order for all male citizens who met the age requirements to register with the military management office and temporarily form a militia force with a fairly large force. Originally, this militia unit was seen as the military liliang of the government of St. Prori. Once the Insect army invades Tico City, these militiamen, armed with rudimentary equipment, will also fight fiercely.

However, fortunately, their savior-like uncle Haoyi miraculously resolved the impending catastrophe, and the militia did not need to be thrown into the hellish battlefield like a meat grinder. After the reconstruction of the city of Nova Tiko began, some of the militia that had not yet been disarmed responded to the government's call to continue to serve the country and serve as an armed force to maintain the stability of the post-war situation.

The place where Hao Yi came was a construction site under construction, and the row of low, simple puzzle houses were inhabited by the civilians of Tico City who were trying their best to rebuild their homes. There are also public facilities such as the school library and auditorium in the simple dormitory area on the construction site. Naturally, these facilities were also hastily built on a temporary basis with improvised building materials.

"You two have worked hard!" Haoyi's popularity at this time was no less than that of the two prime ministers of the Republic, Bertreme and Bob, and he was also a well-known celebrity in the entire St. Prori's Star District. Needless to say, Hao Yi also knew that the two militiamen in front of him, who were a little scared, recognized him. Returning a standard military salute to the two militiamen, Hao Yi smiled faintly and said hello.

"No, no, no hardship! Uncle, you are here ......" Haoyi's simple greeting made the old and young militia suddenly become more and more cramped. The older one blushed and stammered back.

"Oh, I'm here to find someone!" Haoyi smiled kindly again, glanced behind the iron fence, and asked, "I want to ask the two of you, does Miss Erin work here?" ”

"Ai, Miss Irene?" The old militia didn't react for a while.

"Old Chentou is the prime minister's niece!" The young militiaman behind him was a little more clever, and secretly pulled the corner of the old militiaman's clothes, and reminded him in a low and hurried voice.

"Oh, remember! Yes, yes, Aunt Hui, niece, oh no, Miss Erin works here! The old militiaman, who suddenly came to his senses, suddenly became a little incoherent, and his old face became more and more red because he was in a hurry.

"And how do I find Miss Irene?" Haoyi couldn't help but smile again when he saw this.

"Once you enter the gate, go straight and turn right at the first junction, then left at the third junction until you reach an open space that has been used as a playground at the end, and behind the open space there is a two-story simple house. It's the site school, and Miss Erin works there! This time, the old militia was quick to say how to find Irene.

"Thank you both!" Hao Yi nodded seriously, thanked the old militiamen, and raised his feet to walk towards the iron fence, when the young militiaman on the side saw this and hurriedly pushed away some rusty and heavy iron fences for Hao Yi.

As soon as he walked into the dormitory area of the construction site, the low roar of the engines of armed off-road locomotives and armored personnel carriers sounded outside, but Haoyi did not look back. He knew that it must have been the staff adjutant who saw him enter the dormitory area, so he led the team back.

The houses in the dormitory area are a bit chaotic, large and small, tall and low, like a large shanty town. However, because it is daylight, the people who participated in the reconstruction of their homes are probably on the construction site, and there is not a single figure in the shantytown.

After turning around, before I saw the simple primary school that the old militia said, a burst of children's playful laughter pierced through the foggy yellow dust and got into Haoyi's ears. Vaguely, Hao Yi seemed to hear Erin's crisp laughter like a silver bell, and his heart moved, and Hao Yi couldn't help but speed up his pace.

After walking around a corner, an open field appeared at the end of the gray sky in the distance. On the open ground, there are faint dances of some bright colors, large and small. When he was about to walk up, Hao Yi realized that it was a group of half-grown children who were happily frolicking around a young woman.

The young woman was dressed in a pale yellow dress, with long dark reddish-brown silky hair, fluttering wantonly in the wind, a slightly childish melon seed long face, holding a pair of huge bright eyes, but who was it not Irene?

Irene, who was playing with the children, didn't notice Hao Yi coming over in the thin yellow mist, and her beautiful face was full of heartfelt smiles. Suddenly, Haoyi subconsciously stopped, stood quietly outside the playground, and looked at his wife from a distance.

To be honest, after Erin married her, Haoyi has not had much time to spend with her. Except for occasionally accompanying Erin to go shopping, Haoyi can hardly think of what he has done to make his wife happy. Even, when his wife celebrated her birthday, Haoyi was still personally leading the team to carry out the so-called tasks in the boundless sea of insects.

Thinking about it seriously, Haoyi felt more and more that he was not a qualified husband. I was so ignorant that I couldn't even understand what my wife wanted, what she liked, and I couldn't figure it out. Let's just say right now, Haoyi didn't know that Erin liked to play with children so much. Once, Haoyi simply thought that Erin was just a somewhat naïve eldest lady. And at this moment, the cheerful smile that bloomed on Erin's face made Hao Yi feel a deep sense of self-blame inexplicably.

"Teacher, teacher, look, there's a general!" Just when Haoyi was a little distracted, a clear child's voice suddenly interrupted some of his wandering thoughts. Following the prestige, Haoyi saw a little ghost head tugging at the corner of Irene's skirt, pointing at himself on tiptoe, and saying something to Erin.

"Husband, why are you here?" Erin, who was reminded by the little ghost, finally found Haoyi, who was standing not far away, leaned over and whispered an explanation to the group of children, and ran all the way over, her pretty face slightly reddened, revealing a slightly surprised joy.
