Chapter 191: The Children of Lyon
The base of the People's Union, the residence of the president.
After more than a month, Clairementine finally returned to the mansion in Lyon, where she had lived for many years and had almost become a member of the family.
As soon as she entered the spacious courtyard, she saw a young boy of eight or nine years old holding a special pistol and practicing shooting under the guidance of a man who looked like an officer.
The boy was cute-looking, fair-skinned, blond, and perceptive, and he had just walked through the door when he spotted him.
Seeing her, the boy immediately showed a happy smile on his face, handed the pistol in his hand to the officer, greeted him with a smile, and said:
"Sister Claymanting, you're back."
"You've been on this mission for a long time! It's been almost a month and a half. ”
Seeing the little boy, Claymanting's face unconsciously smiled, she stepped forward and touched the little boy's short blonde hair, then squatted down, kissed the little boy on the forehead, and said:
"Yes, little Robb, this mission is very hard, but my sister did a good job and was rewarded with a vacation, so she came back while she was on vacation."
Leon's youngest son, Robb, nodded as if he didn't understand, but he didn't care about the task mentioned by Claymanting, but said in a somewhat coquettish tone:
"Sister, it's just so that you're coming back now, why don't we compete and shoot together?"
"Kevila's mother said that your marksmanship is among the best among young people, and I want to compete with you."
Looking at the little boy's sparkling eyes, Claymanting couldn't help but smile, as a child who grew up in this family, she knew very well that every one of Uncle Leon's children had talents beyond ordinary people, and they couldn't be treated as ordinary children.
As the eldest son, little Robb pays more attention to his own abilities than his two younger sisters, and at the age of eight, he has done many things that adults can't do, and she has been praised by several parents, and she is the target of these children.
She took Robb's hand, cleaned the dust off his body, and said:
"Little one, you're too anxious."
"My sister just came home, do you want to take my sister to test your marksmanship?"
"Wait for my sister to take a shower first, change her clothes, and then come to play with you, okay?"
Robb also realized that he was too anxious, and he kissed Clementine on the side of the cheek flatteringly, and said happily:
"Okay, sister, I'll wait for you while practicing."
After separating from the little boy, Clementine walked through the large garden in the front yard and entered the living room of the mansion, where several women dressed as maids immediately welcomed her respectfully, and the two girls who were playing in the hall heard the voice, and immediately turned their heads to look at Clementine, and shouted in surprise:
"Sister Claymanting!"
While shouting, the two also ran over quickly.
One of the two little girls was eight or nine years old, and the other was a little younger, about six or seven years old, and they were both children of Lyon, the elder sister was named Alice, the daughter of Peggy, the younger sister was named Emilia, and her mother was Hathaway.
Among the several women in Leon, only Kevela has not yet conceived children, and the rich second-generation lady has always been a maverick, and even now, her mind is mainly focused on her work, and she has not yet become a mother.
Looking at the two little girls running towards her, Claymanting's face couldn't help but show a warm smile, she had been staying at Lyon's house since she was about ten years old, these children were born and raised by her, almost like her own brothers and sisters.
And like Robb, Alice and Emilia have inherited their parents' top genes very well, both in temperament and appearance, they are far beyond ordinary children, and they look like cute little angels, very likable.
The three of them exchanged affectionately for a while, and Alice, who was more outgoing, asked Claymanting curiously:
"Sister Claymanting, can you tell us about what you encountered on this mission?"
As the children of the president's family, they are also inevitably very well protected, and rarely have the time to play outside like other children, although several little ones are very sensible, but small children are the most curious, and they are naturally full of interest in everything.
Clement thought for a while, thought of little Robb who was still waiting for him outside, so she said with some apologies:
"Not yet, little Alice."
"My sister has to take a shower first, change her clothes, and when she comes out, she will accompany little Robb to test her marksmanship."
"I'll tell you about it when we're done with the competition, okay?"
After being rejected by her sister, Alice pouted in frustration, and her sister Emilia next to her saw her sister's expression, and immediately held her sister's hand intimately, comforting her sister with a milky voice.
"Sister, that's fine. Let's just go and watch my brother's game together. ”
After being comforted by her sister, Alice snorted softly and said:
"Alright then, Sister Claymanting, wait for me and my sister to watch you and your brother's competition, after your competition is over, you must tell us about your previous mission experience."
Claymanting nodded, reached out and touched the hair of the two little girls, and was about to walk to her room when she saw a tall girl coming down the stairs on the second floor.
The girl had long chestnut hair, she looked very beautiful, and she was holding a month-old baby in her hand, and when she saw Claymanting, she also quickened her pace, and said with surprise in her mouth:
"You're back, Claymanting."
Claymanting was also very happy when she saw this girl, and responded with a smile:
"Sophia, you're there too."
"I'd like to go on vacation with you tomorrow."
This girl is Carol's daughter Sophia, because in the past, Carol and Lao Li always went out on missions, and she stayed at Lyon's home for a long time like Claymanting, in addition to daily schooling, the most common thing to do every day was to help the president's family take care of the children.
It can be said that both girls are very trustworthy people in the Lyon family.
Sophia, unlike Claymanting, is a fairly quiet girl who does not inherit the resolute and brave character of her mother Carol, and is not good at fighting.
After graduating from school, out of trust in her, after consulting her, she is now basically trained as a housekeeper in the family.
Sophia smiled at Clementine, gently lifted the baby in her arms a little bit for her to see, and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Claymanting, I promised Miss Jasmine to help her take care of little Leon, I shouldn't have time to go on vacation with you."
Claymanting's eyes lit up when she saw the baby in Sophia's arms, and she immediately walked quickly in front of her, wanting to take a closer look.
It was a very cute-looking little baby boy, with big eyes and pink facial features, and he was not afraid after seeing Clay Manting approaching, but stretched out his fleshy hands and wanted to touch her face.
Seeing such a cute baby, Claymanting couldn't help but smile again, and while teasing the little baby, she asked:
"Is it Captain Jasmine? Has she been away from home lately? ”
Sophia was already very good at taking care of children, she skillfully took out a handkerchief, wiped the saliva from the baby's mouth, and said softly:
"Yes, I heard that Miss Jasmine went to Miami City and was on a mission there."
"That's why she asked me to help her take care of the child."
Clementing nodded with some regret, in the depths of the radiation zone with a harsh environment, she had carried out a mission for more than a month, and she was eager to go to a beautiful place with her friends, relax and relax.
It's a pity that her best friend Sophia doesn't have time to accompany her, so it seems that she can only wait until tomorrow to choose another suitable person.
………………
At eight o'clock in the evening, Leon returned home from his official duties.
But as soon as he walked into the house, he saw his eldest son Robb sitting on the sofa with a depressed face, and his two younger sisters sitting beside him, one on the left and one on the right, chattering and not knowing what to say.
On the other sofa, Clementine, dressed in home clothes, was sitting with Sophia, the two were teasing the baby Leon while chatting quietly, and a group of juniors stayed in the living room, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
When the little ones saw their father come back, they immediately became excited.
Alice, who has the most lively personality, was the first to jump off the sofa, calling her father sweetly, and excitedly threw herself into Leon's arms.
Leon stretched out his hand and gently hugged Alice in his arms, and then reached out and hugged Emilia who was following his sister, holding two lovely daughters left and right, with a smile on his face, he walked to the side of his eldest son Robb, sat down next to the little one, and asked in a gentle tone:
"What's the matter, little Robb, why do you look downcast?"
When Claymanting and Sophia saw Leon come in, they did not get up from the couch, but greeted him politely and casually.
This is not because the two of them do not respect Leon as a great president, but in large part because Leon is in his own family, does not pay much attention to red tape, and he likes to get along with his family casually, rather than with his subordinates or residents.
Hearing her father's words, before Robb could speak, Alice, who had the most lively personality, preemptively said:
"I know, Dad, I know."
Looking at his lovely daughter, Leon smiled, kissed Alice's little face, and turned his head to kiss his sister Emilia on the face before asking:
"Really? Little Alice. ”
"Then it's up to you to tell Daddy."
Alice raised her head a little proudly, and her voice had the characteristic milk sound of a child.
"Hmph, Dad, before you came home, my brother and Sister Claymanting tried shooting together, and my brother lost."
"Sister Claymanting scored ninety-eight points, and my brother only scored ninety."
Speaking of this, Alice grinned and continued:
"Later, my brother was not convinced, and he tried twice with Sister Claymanting, but he still couldn't compare to his sister, so he sulked there alone."
Hearing what happened, Leon was also happy, but he didn't expect his eldest son Robb to be so competitive at a young age.
Of course, this is not a bad thing, the desire to win is an important factor that urges the continuous progress of human beings, in the future world, human beings will not be able to get rid of the fate of fighting for survival for a long time, and it is a very important thing to be able to strengthen their combat effectiveness.
Moreover, his son is only eight years old now, and the fact that he can test his marksmanship against the top graduates who have already graduated from the military academy at this age, and is only slightly inferior, is enough to show how amazing Robb Jr.'s talent is.
Leon gently put his two daughters on the sofa, reached out and took Robb in his arms, touched his head, and said:
"You're doing a great job, kid, Daddy is definitely not as good as you when you're your age."
Hearing his most respected father say this, the little boy's mood immediately brightened, and he asked with sparkling eyes:
"Really, Daddy?"
"Will my marksmanship be better than yours in the future?"
Leon kissed his son on the forehead, although Robb is very talented, it is estimated that he should not be as good as himself, but for his son, he still lied knowingly and said:
"Yes, kid, if you don't be arrogant and work hard enough, you'll be the best marksman among us."
"When Dad is old, it's your turn to protect Mom and Dad, younger brothers and sisters."
Obviously, the child is very coaxing, and being so encouraged by his most respected father, Robb's eyes no longer have any negative emotions, but are full of strong fighting spirit, and I believe that in the future, he will definitely work harder than in the past.
"I promise you, Dad, I'll try harder."
They enjoyed a lot of family fun with their children, and it wasn't until about ten o'clock that their mother finished her work and returned home.
And it was only after the children had been sent to sleep in the room by the servants that he had time to talk to the little girl, Clementine.
Leon took the little girl to the study together, and after the two sides sat down, he was not polite, and asked directly:
"How's the construction of a fortress in the Radiation Zone?"
Clay Manting thought for a moment and said:
"It should be on track, Uncle Leon."
"Before I left, Colonel Moore and Colonel Daryl had arrived there with two thousand soldiers, and the number of people in the fort was close to three thousand, including the inhabitants who had been transferred from the surrounding strongholds."
"We have chosen a large, fairly well-preserved manor house to serve as a temporary stronghold, and the inhabitants and soldiers are working together to strengthen the defenses there."
"Because the fortress is still under construction, there will be no war in the short term, so the two colonels will arrange a holiday for the group of soldiers who were on our previous mission."
Leon nodded, of course he had heard all this information, and even the holidays were personally arranged by him, the great president who was sympathetic to his subordinates. But just in case, he still wanted to listen to it again in the mouth of the person concerned.
The two exchanged in detail what they had seen and heard in the radiation zone, Leon had been staying in the base, and the last time he dealt with the mutant giant scorpion in the past, he only went through a passing scene, and he didn't even do it himself, most of his understanding of the radiation zone still stayed on the video and text, and he could communicate face-to-face with people who had gone deep into the radiation zone, and it could also help him understand the harsh environment there.
After the exchange, Leon took a sip of coffee, and he looked at Clementine, who seemed to have some tanned skin, and said with a smile:
"It's hard work, girl."
"Looks like you've suffered a lot in the radiation zone."
Claymanting shrugged her shoulders and said unconcernedly:
"This is my home, and it's what I'm supposed to do."
"But Uncle Leon, there are too many monsters in the radiation zone, thousands of times more than us humans, we should really think about countermeasures."
Leon nodded, took out a box from one of the boxes he had brought back, and took out some of the things from the box that had been divided into many portions, like small snacks, and handed them to the girl, and said:
"Try it, this is a good thing we have newly developed, made from the flesh of a mutant giant scorpion, I call it scorpion jelly."
"Not only are they delicious, but eating them will make your body tougher, and your muscles will be more explosive and agile."
He glanced at Clementine's bumpy figure, and knew that the girl now also paid great attention to her appearance, so he added:
"And don't worry, eating these scorpion jelly will not affect your figure, and even make your body more toned, which is a gift I am going to give to the most elite soldiers as a prize."
"Of course, you're my family, and we don't need to care about those rules."
