June 28, 1973.

Sicily, small town.

The sky is clear and blue, and the warm breeze is gently caressed.

Nearly thirty years have passed since Russell came to power, and the mayor of the town has changed five people, and all of them have finally sat in the high positions of the Sicilian government, just because they are all loyal to the godfather!

Except for a small number of moles, almost all of the Sicilian authorities were promoted by the Father, and even many of the Apennines had contacted Sicily in an attempt to gain the support of the Father-in-law and make Italy rejuvenate and prosper.

Although the war has been over for several years, the Italians have not recovered, and the inhabitants cannot see their lives at all, but can only barely survive. And the government does not act, engages in factional disputes every day, and the United States is behind the shadows, which is difficult to prevent.

So they fantasize about someone who will save them from the sea of suffering.

And it is not possible to escape from the sea of suffering without money, let alone strength, and the only person who meets these two requirements is His Excellency Russell Corleone.

However, after the intersection, Russell did not give them a direct answer, and kicked them out of the house with a stern attitude.

"You're teaching me to sin! And I'm a serious businessman, how can I help you manage it...... Ridiculous Masafu! ”

The Italian guests were a little stunned, they knew very well how Russell started, how did they change their attitude?

I really can't figure it out......

The town where Marlena once lived is now very prosperous.

After the end of World War II, Russell asked Nivino and the mayor to work together to develop the seaside as diving, sea airship, sailing, fishing, horse racing, etc., and built hotels and apartments for future tourists.

In 44 years, the population of the town was less than 2,000, and now it has grown to 40,000, and these people are all settled here, and there are more than 130,000 tourists a year, and the tourism industry can net at least 20 million US dollars a year.

The townspeople have also benefited greatly from this, and they have opened cheap hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, nightclubs, and so on. The original dilapidated households have developed into middle-class well-off families.

And all thanks to the gift of the Church Fathers.

Recently, I heard that the godfather's son, Vidor, the future second-generation godfather, is going to hold a wedding in the town, and the residents have done their best to decorate the town, even if the dust in the corners of the town has been cleaned up, not to mention the yellow leaves.

In their words, what the godfather gave them was something they could not repay in this life, and they could only repay the favor with this small thing.

Most of the former residents were in their sixties and seventies, and even Reinado, who had been close to Russell on several occasions, was 45 years old, and he told his son stories about his godfather and wife so vividly that many young people were willing to gather around him to tell stories.

And the grandmothers of these children also have great respect for the Corleones, but when they call Russell's wife, they call Mrs. Marlena.

The child asked, "Why Lady Marlena?" ”

Grandma replied, "That's what the godfather told us, that Lady Marlena was beautiful when she was young, and that she was the focus of the men in the town wherever she went......"

"And then?"

Grandma didn't want to remember, because there was some fear in her heart, afraid of her attitude towards Marlena in the first place.

"We are jealous, envious of her, and slander her......"

"How can you do that?"

Grandma sighed: "This is human nature, we are a green grass, and we don't want a flower to grow in the middle." ”

"You owe an apology to Lady Marlena! The Godfather is so good to us, we all bow to the Godfather statue at school......"

Grandma looked at the child and said, "We don't deserve to apologize to Lady Marlena, because the godfather never took us people seriously. ”

】

These old residents, who are not dead, feel guilty about Marlena, and whenever they want to apologize, they will be frightened by that look, because they dare not look at Russell, so they can only hold it in their hearts......

Make them more and more ashamed and depressed.

A few of them scolded so badly that they committed suicide a few years ago, and they couldn't accept the gift of their godfather, thinking they deserved it!

This style of slaughtering people without knives has always dominated the old residents, and only they know how ruthless the godfather is.

Three years ago, Russell sent people to demolish the sea-view house, rebuild a new villa, and encompass all the surrounding vacant land to build a garden, a plantation, and a breeding garden.

This is the retirement home that he and Marlena have prepared, and in the future, they will hand over the company to the children and let them toss it.

After several years of running, it's time to stop.

Russell and Marlena had been back here the other day, and today was the family dinner, and tomorrow was Victoria's wedding.

The courtyard is very lively, children are running all over the ground, and young adults gather in the gazebo to smoke and chat.

Russell and his men barbecue meat in the backyard.

Nevino had a cigarette in his mouth and a leg of lamb in both hands.

He spent four years in the Middle East and Syria, and when he came back, he became honest, and after several years of testing, he got along very well with his second wife, and the family was very harmonious.

If you don't change it, Russell will be ruthless.

After returning to Sicily, he took over the tourism industry of the town, and the development was very good.

"Godfather, Lily Mansha's boyfriend's name is Vasino Sirona, he is a researcher at the Catania Medical Institute, his main profession is a dentist, and his research direction is ......"

Russell sat in a rocking chair and poured red wine over the leg of lamb, "You get to the point!" ”

"Okay, he's a professor of obstetrics at the institute, the son of the dean. My hobby is a photographer and I went to the United States four years ago ......"

Russell said: "So he counts himself as his own? ”

"Of course, Kachi and Mansha were delivered by the dean himself."

Felisto sat down next to him and took a sip of his beer, and said, "Godfather, do you want to invite them all to Victoria's wedding?" ”

"They're coming, Marlena has called her, they've been in touch all these years."

Russell frowned: "I don't know how he hooked up with my daughter." ”

Oriyatu coughed lightly and said, "Godfather...... It seems to be Sirona that Lily Mansa is pursuing. ”

Russell looked up at him, raised his hand and said, "You go and deal with the sheep intestines." ”

"Godfather, I ...... I'm too old to smell that. ”

Russell smiled: "You won't understand my feelings, you don't have a daughter." ”

“……”

Felisto, Nivino and the others looked at each other, then pointed at Oriyatu and laughed.

In addition to the above people, Cosno, Northin, Chris, Harvey, Rand and others were also present.

It's just that Rand's uncle Hagen has been dead for several years, and this old lamp is really too old, and Russell presided over his funeral at that time to give enough face.

Not long after, a group of young adults came to the backyard to see their fathers talking happily and joining in to help make the barbecue.

Among them were Vidor and Kachi, and the rest were the sons of Felisto, Oriyatu, and others.

As for the daughters, they make vegetarian and hot meals with their mothers in the house.

It was a family feast, and there were no other guests, and the people who came to the wedding were entertained in the hotel by the mayor, councilors, and mayors, and the specifications were not small, after all, they were all friends of Russell, and they came from all over the world.

These young men were led by Victor, who revolved around him in the town when he was in school, and even more so when he became an adult. Victor inherited his father's style of life, taking care of his friends wherever he went, and he was not stingy with them.

But when he is ruthless, he also ignores everything, and loves to clear obstacles and resolve difficulties.

New York's Kachi Mansha clothing company was very well managed by him, with a net profit of $2 billion last year, a gross profit of 6 billion, and a turnover of hundreds of billions......

"Dad, I want to do a fashion week in Sicily and make Italian private handmade brands into business."

Russell glanced at Victor and said calmly, "You decide for yourself." ”

"But Sicily can't be entered by foreign companies."

All enterprises in Sicily are incubated and branded as Sicilian Group, even foreign-owned.

"What do you think?"

"I wanted to buy Milan Fashion Week first and move it to Sicily," says Vidor. ”

"I'll talk about it when you're married."

Victor was stunned and said hurriedly: "Dad, procrastination is not your style, I just want to ......"

Russell patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm your dad." ”

After speaking, his eyes looked directly at his son, and Victor sighed and nodded.

"Take your brother out of here, this is our old man's private space, you guys are too much of an eyesore."

Victor smiled and said, "Dad, we just want to be close to you......"

"The old man's time is running out, let us old guys communicate and communicate feelings, the future is yours, you know?"

"Got it, see you at dinner."

After Vidor and his brothers left, Oriatu leaned forward and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Russell looked at his awkward expression and scolded with a smile: "What do you have to say." ”

"Godfather, I think you've been too harsh on Victor, he's thirty years old and about to get married."

"You know the, after he gets married, we'll be able to relax."

Felisto was stunned and asked, "Godfather, are you going to ......?"

The eyes of the others also looked at it.

Russell nodded slowly.

In the evening, more than 50 adults and 30 children gathered in the courtyard for dinner.

The dining table is rounded, and it is no problem to accommodate 100 people.

While everyone was chatting, Mansa came over and said a few words to Russell, and she told Sirona the truth.

Russell said that it had been clear for a long time, and Mansha asked urgently: "Dad, don't you like Sirona?" ”

"Do you know who his mother is?"

"Yes."

"Did you know that his mother delivered you and Kuchi in the hospital?"

"What? Is there such a thing? I've seen his mother, but I've never heard of her. ”

Russell laughed and said, "Now you know." ”

"Yes, Dad...... Sirona and I are not with us for the sake of our family, I can assure you. ”

Russell said with a straight face: "You promise not, I'll see you tomorrow." ”

Mansha rubbed her father's shoulders diligently and said, "Dad, then you educate him fiercely, embarrass him, and let him know that the door of our Corleone family is not easy to enter." ”

Russell laughed when she heard this, this daughter has been acting like this since she was a child, and she uses rhetoric to make Russell happy when she does anything.

Dinner is over.

Felisto, Oriyatu and others left with their wives and children, leaving the Corleone family and a few servants in the estate.

Now the security of the manor is still in charge of Nelly, originally Russell arranged a house for him in the town, but he said that as long as he can move, if the godfather does not dislike it, he will be a bodyguard for the godfather for the rest of his life.

In the room, Marlena and Russell lay on the bed and whispered.

Talking about tomorrow's wedding.

Victorino Corleone's new wife was an orthodox Sicilian, her father was a liquor store proprietor who ran the Duke's black pearls and brandy, and her mother was a housewife at home.

In her early years, she saw that her parents had a son, but later died early due to illness, and only such a daughter was left, which was naturally very precious.

She and Victor met on a farm in Sicily, and the two met because they fell in love with each other, and they got along very well, and the relationship was confirmed.

At that time, Victor told her that she was doing business in the United States, and she didn't think much of it...... After a year and a half of getting along, Wei Duoduo talked to her and her surname Corleone.

She was a little confused when she heard this, but Victor explained the situation to her. Of course, she understood very well, if Victor confessed when he saw her, she would definitely not dare to confirm a relationship with Vito, even if she didn't even like it.

Why? Sicily who does not know Corleone.

When Victor went to see his father-in-law, his father-in-law was overwhelmed with fright, and he stumbled in front of his future son-in-law.

But after chatting, the father-in-law's family found out that Victor was easy to get along with, and he was going to marry his godfather later, and their hearts were pounding.

For this reason, Russell and Marlena went to visit Victor's father-in-law's house, and at first they were trembling, but later they got better.

The Corleone couple did not interfere much with Victor's wedding, the two had discussed this topic before, and felt that the children could find any family, anyway, any family was inferior to the Corleone family, even if it was to marry a duchess, Russell didn't care.

As long as the children are happy, this is the wish of every parent.

Following.

From the beginning of dawn, the town comes alive.

In the manor, Russell put on the suit that Marlena had just made the other day, and Marlena also put on the gown.

Maids and residents who came spontaneously to support made snacks, sweets, and meals.

Rand sent three companies to keep the town safe, set up artillery positions outside the town, airships patrolled the air, and officers and pilots at the air base were on standby.

This is not a trivial matter, but all the people who came today are big people, and if there is a mistake, it will be a disaster.

It is not only a disaster in Sicily, but also a disaster for Sicilians, which cannot but be taken seriously.

The most important thing is the Middle East, which has been somewhat dishonest lately, and countries such as Syria are trying to start a war......

There were about 200 people who came to the wedding, but they also brought a lot of people, and there were more than 500 people.

These people could not squeeze into the courtyard of the manor, so red carpets, tables and chairs were laid out on the streets, and there were two areas, inside and outside.

Everyone knows that it is the future godfather of Sicily who is married today, and both the residents and the guests attach great importance to it, and his face is full of festive smiles.

ps: There is another event in this dungeon.,It's over in a few chapters.,What's going to be written in the next world......
