Old Butch said solemnly: "Godfather, as long as you give the order, our Buchchio family will definitely kill him, even if it is chased to the ends of the earth and the life of the entire family will be lost!" ”

Russell laughed, "No, Butch. I invite you to come to my house for Christmas, the purpose of which is to find you to do port trade, not to make you shout and kill. ”

"America is like an African hunting ground, if you want to be a hunter, you have to have not only guns, but also money! The weapons of the prey are much simpler, only claws and fangs. Are we hunters because of our guns? ”

"No, we rely on our brains! You can't just have the courage and the courage to die together, and you will eventually perish, just like the African white rhino. ”

Old Butch was stunned when he heard this, although he understood these truths for a long time, but the words came out of Russell's mouth, and they gave him a very different feeling.

Just as a seed is firmly rooted in the heart, the seed will gradually sprout as the truth increases......

"Godfather, I'm getting older. I was hoping that Felix would grow up, but in the past few years he was so stubborn that the family had to continue to struggle in the circle of life. ”

"Now you have given us a way out, a way for our family to survive. Do you think Felix can follow you and lead the family to prosperity? ”

Russell didn't answer, just turned his head and stared at Felix with a smile.

Felix stood up and said, "Godfather, father, uncle, and brothers, I want to apologize for my stubbornness, because my mistakes persecuted and disgraced the family. Now that I follow my godfather, I will surely make my family prosperous! ”

Everyone in the house heard this, and everyone in the Buchzio family didn't want to survive in New York with courage and courage, and that would be too high a price.

Especially in the past few years, the number of people in the family has dropped sharply from fifty to more than a dozen, that is, in recent years, the peace has been settled, and the number of people has returned to thirty again, but it is nearly half different from the heyday.

Who wants to survive in fear of being held by a butcher's knife by the neck?

No one wants to!

Felix looked around and found that Old Butch and the others had no opinion, so he changed his voice.

"In advance, everyone has to work hard in one place, and the opportunity is given by the godfather, so our lives will be the godfather's in the future!"

After the son finished speaking, the elder Butch spoke.

"That's right, the opportunity was given by the godfather, and from now on our lives are also the godfather's!"

Old Butch got up and walked over to Russell.

Immediately half-kneeling in front of him, Russell reached out and put his hand in his palm, and then Old Butch leaned over and kissed him lightly.

"The Godfather."

Russell nodded and picked up Old Butch: "Sit down and try Sicilian peppermint cigarettes." ”

"Okay."

Then there was the second uncle, who, like Old Butch, was also half-kneeling on the floor, and called out to the godfather with the greatest respect.

All the adult men of the Buchzio family came forward to express their loyalty according to their age.

This means that the entire family has taken refuge in Russell and has no intention of turning back.

In the future, if they want to do things alone, they must also ask Russell Corleone, otherwise they will violate internal rules and will be dismissed from their posts at least and shot at worst.

And from this moment on, everything in the Buchchio family will be counted by Felix!

He became the head of the family and served as President and Chairman of the American branch of Corleone Import & Export Trade.

The Buchzio family owns 20 percent, Russell owns 60 percent, and the remaining 20 is the cake of New York State's regular visitors.

Russell warned them that they should not touch the seahem except when they worked under him, and that whoever touched the seahem had to serve the Virgin!

The men chatted hotly in the living room, and the women chatted happily in the children's playground.

I have to say that once a Sicilian woman becomes a family, she doesn't care so much when she talks, especially the wife of the second uncle, who talks a lot and never leaves the bed room.

The children had a lot of fun in the park, and some of them were about the same age as Vittorio, who was worried that the children would fight, but Vitorio would soon become the king of children, and even a few older ones bowed down to him.

Because they were playing the game of kings, and Victoria had moved out of his knighthood.

Such a big child knows how to oppress others with power, and he doesn't know who to learn from.

Soon, it was night.

Russell took the lead in making dinner in the courtyard, and the godfather himself got started, who dared to watch the excitement idle?

The people of Buchchio did not see it, and started to make red wine curry chicken and barbecue...... Wait a minute.

Before dinner, Russell and the others stood in the courtyard and asked the children to unpack the Christmas packages.

Victorio watched them take the gift on the porch with a sullen face, and secretly hated himself for being in a hurry in the early hours of the morning, and only took a hard bone, and now he could no longer open the package, because he had to follow the rules.

Marlena picked up a package with Caccirino, Sylvina took a gift box with Lily Mansha, and the rest of the Buchchio family children also had a package in their hands.

There is a wide variety of gifts, including dolls, building blocks, Santa hats, moose models, and more.

Seeing the children laughing happily, Old Butch was very moved in his heart, he is also a man who cares about his family, and in his subjective opinion, the quality of anyone who cares about his family is not bad!

"Old Butch."

"The Godfather."

"When you go, let Felisto bring you two bottles of Duke Black Pearl."

"Thank you, Godfather."

These two bottles of black pearl wine are not ordinary ones, but special collections engraved with the crown of kings, and in the United States, if you take them to a red wine with the same collection, you will ask him to do a second thing.

But as a member of a small New York family, you can't go directly to someone of the president's level or Hoover's level.

Do you need to talk about the reason? Which one is willing to do things for children?

The dinner was very rich, and the dishes made by everyone were full of happiness, and the old Butch and the others drank red with red faces, and they knew that they were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Felix was also very excited to spend Christmas with his godfather, a treatment that had lifted him to heaven.

He knew that if it weren't for the godfather's attention to him, he wouldn't invite everyone in the Buchchio family at all, at most he would only invite Old Butch and the second uncle.

Not long after the dinner began, Felisto approached and whispered, "Godfather, Luca has just returned to New York." ”

"Hand the news out."

When Felisto heard this, he left the table and went to inform his subordinates to do something.

The Peninsula Manor is full of laughter, while the Garden House is oppressive.

Sonny and Tom, Clemenza, and Tessio were eating fried chicken bread, and only a light was on overhead in the dimly lit hallroom.

American fried chicken originated after the Civil War, when blacks were allowed to have their own surnames, and many blacks would use the surnames of white slave owners or great Americans, which is somewhat ironic.

And blacks especially like to eat fried chicken on holidays, and whites dislike fried chicken as rude food!

But except for Tom, who is of mixed German and Irish descent, the rest of the people are Sicilian. Unlike the supreme whites, in the white perspective, the Italians are traditionally at the bottom, even more stupid than the blacks.

"Mike has any news?"

Tom shook his head: "No, there was no news from the hospital last night. ”

Sonny frowned, "Will he go to Russell?" ”

"No way, Peninsula Manor today invited the Buccio family to Christmas." Tessio said.

“…… Buchchio? Sonny looked up when he heard this: "What is Russell going to do?" ”

"Whatever we do is in our favor, and from the moment he shot Mark in front of the hospital, it meant standing in the same place as us," Tom said. ”

"I never thought Russell would be so bold as to let the deputy sheriff kill the sheriff, and that's it."

Clemenza took out the newspaper from the stool next to him and said, "It's not over, you can take a look." ”

The newspaper read, 'The New York sheriff collects black money all year round, and has been reported as many as 100 clues!' ', 'Sheriff Mark received money to assassinate Corleone in an unsuccessful attempt and was shot dead by the Justice Police!' ’。

Sonny often sighed after reading the newspaper, "If we get through this difficult time, we won't have a conflict with Russell in the future, his methods are even more ruthless than my father!" ”

He would say this, obviously a little scared.

You must know that in the thirties, Sonny was known as the "No. 1 Warrior of New York", and when he fought against the Capone family, he did a lot of people by himself, and his methods were so cruel that they were terrifying.

But such a character is now saying such things, which is really distressing.

"We can do it to this extent, but we can't get the mayor to recognize it personally and give benefits to everyone who has merit...... From top to bottom, we can't control the details. ”

"But Russell Corleone can handle it!"

"That's the gap ......"

Sunny leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette, the cigarette was mint-flavored, he looked down at the cigarette and asked, "What will it cost if we do Solasso and the Tartaglia family?" ”

"The price is not only human life, but also industry...... Once the war starts, our business will be shut down, and we will lose a lot of money every day. ”

"And we also have to take care of the regular customers, and ...... in the rented safe house"

Tom said, "We should stall for time and wait for the godfather's body to recover, now we are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark." My proposal is a truce, talk to Solaso and Tartaglia. ”

Sonny frowned, his eyes fixed on Clemenza, "Where's Paulie?" He has no news. ”

"He handed over the message, but I thought it was fake news. He should have defected and joined the House of Tartaglia. ”

"Poly must die! Tell me what the news is. ”

He said that the people of the Tartaglia family went to Florida to assassinate Luca, and they knew that Luca was the godfather's beast and that Luka's immortality would keep them awake. But when they got to Florida, they pounced......"

"Knocked out? Luca ran away? ”

Klemenza shook his head slowly, "He's not going to run, I guess Lukka seems to know what's going on in New York." ”
