Originally adjusted the projection, only one of the seven or eight photos is left, and the remaining one is suspended in the center, and the original operation is enlarged to enhance the clarity. The man in the photo has a slightly weathered face, a few white hairs on the forehead, light brown eyes with some red bloodshot eyes, black and blue eyes caused by lack of sleep, he is standing in a row of children's clothes hanging Beside the clothes hanger, he looked in a direction with flustered, puzzled and inquisitive expressions. That direction was where Auston and Ryan were standing. This was the mother and baby store downstairs of the Angela Maternity Center.
The man's eyebrows are somewhat similar to those of Auston, but he lacks a lot of the unique temperament of Dalton family men - decisive, cold, calm, and he will not hesitate or panic in doing anything. The man was wearing a simple indigo jacket, ordinary jeans, and looked unremarkable overall. He was carrying a drawing board, a canvas bag on his wrist, and a few longer paintbrush tips sticking out. From En En's judgment, this is a hesitant and timid painter from a middle-class family, or the kind of cynic who thinks he is underappreciated and does not appreciate himself to the world. It doesn't look like the Dalton family with iron blood people of blood.
Alston would not be mistaken, the down-and-out painter was his uncle, Beavis Dalton.
"Uncle pursued art, fell out with grandpa for some reasons when he was young, and then ran away from home, got married and had children without telling the family." Alston twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, shook his head with a smile, "I was born Soon after, he resumed walking around with my family, and would stay in the old house for a few days during holidays, but because of his different ideas from his father, they always quarreled."
Auston's personality followed his father's, and he was the kind of person who disdained to have verbal disputes with others. It was not so much a quarrel between two elders as it was a unilateral quarrel with an uncle.
"Because of personality discord, my uncle broke off relations with my family for several years, and every time we met later, something happened to my family." Many relatives stood on the mourning hall, watching his pain indifferently, including his own uncle! Auston's impression of his relatives is always gray and greedy. It wasn't until he went to Ryan's house that he found that his relatives and friends would sincerely bless him, be happy because of his happy event, and comfort him because of his depression... The impression of relatives only increased the goodwill.
Auston never took the initiative to talk about his relatives, and those others surnamed Dalton were just strangers with blood ties to him. I especially remember that when the two first met, Oston’s marriage was just a tool for childbearing, sex/love was just for the process of having children, and Ryan was a legal sex/friend. For this reason, Ryan felt wronged in his heart, so big It's easy to fall in love, get married once, and do things you love at your age.
Ryan took a look at Yuan Chu, and waved Yuan Yuan to turn off the projector and go to the cockpit to stay with Code Zero. He took Alston's hand and sat down by the window. Outside the window were skyscrapers passing by, In the continuous traffic flow, I poured a cup of hot water and sent it to Auston. Not wanting Auston to bother him, Ryan pretended to be indifferent and said: "Don't worry about those who don't like it. That man should have met us. He wanted to know who I am and why you went back to the mother and baby store, so I was curious about it." Follow."
Alston made a camouflage, changed his dressing style, and deliberately wore a brightly colored shirt and white slacks. Even familiar people would hardly recognize him, unless they were people who had studied him—studied gait, The back view, the swing of the arm, etc., obviously this uncle has paid special attention to it.
for what? what purpose
Is it out of the painter's intuition or some other purpose
Ryan's face remained unchanged, waiting for Alston's initiative to tell, and he analyzed carefully in his heart. The guy should understand the look he gave Yuanyuan just now. After all, he is an old man who has been with him for many years. Now he should investigate Bivis Dow Find out what this man is looking for.
Since ancient times, Huaxia has a saying, "Know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles." To deal with the best relatives, if you grasp his needs and choke his lifeline, nothing will come out. Ryan has been in a high position for many years. He has seen aboveboard incidents and a lot of intrigues and intrigues. He has used grand tactics, and he has also used intrigues. He had much the same means of dealing with rambunctious relatives, only a little softer and more lenient, but if those people hurt Auston, don't blame him for being rude.
The smoke from the hot water moistened the eyes, and Oston's expression softened a lot. He relaxed and looked out the window, and found that the easily overlooked scenery had a different flavor. The speed of the car was very fast, and he arrived in Dongcheng District in a blink of an eye. It was less than five minutes' drive away from home. He suddenly raised his voice and said, "Originally, Ryan and I got off here. You drive back first, let's go." The last words It was to Ryan, and Auston winked at Ryan like he had seen before, as if to say: Agree with my attention.
Since we met, this is the first time that Oston has shown a charming attitude, not to mention just going down for a walk, even if Ryan picks off the moon, he will also drive the mecha to smash the asteroids outside the capital... There are three moons in the night, nothing will happen if one is missing ==.
The speed of the car slowed down, suspended above the transparent film, and after a buzzing sound on the film, a hole was opened, the cabin door of the small starship was opened, and the gangway was lowered, Ryan and Auston got out of the car together, followed by the pissed Dafu , Dafu walked next to Yuanchu, who had agreed to personally defend the general, and Yuanchu who accepted the task would execute it meticulously.
The little starship let the code-named zero drive back, who made the code-named zero's current small body not have any combat functions, so he could only leave in a grievance.
Standing still on the ladder, the gangway retracted, and the transparent film slowly closed after a short buzzing sound. The closed film flickered like a TV screen with poor contact, and returned to normal after a second or two, showing the blue sky and white clouds again. . It is ironic to say that the picture presented by the film is not the real sky, but the sky filtered by technological means. What is filtering is to shield all reality from the outside.
The ladder is a temporary landing point, and the stairs spiral down. You can choose to take the elevator or walk the stairs by yourself, the height of the five-story building. There are tall trees planted next to the ladder, with magnolia-like flowers blooming on the trees, and there are planters beside the stair railing, or small purple or blue flowers dotted among them. Ryan and Oston chose to walk, Yuanyuan followed behind, and Dafu kept busy after running.
Walking down the ladder, Oston discerned the direction, and looked at the strange and familiar neighborhood for a moment. He was at a loss for a moment. How long has it been since he walked the road of Dongcheng District with his feet? In the past, I rested, and after returning home, I continued to work. Busyness filled my life, and I came and went in a hurry. I didn’t have the time and mood to look at the surrounding scenery. I slowed down and found that the streets of Dongcheng District were so beautiful.
The street is not wide, and camphor trees are planted on both sides as street trees, and there are street lamps with unique shapes like birds spreading their wings between the trees. On both sides of the street are houses of various families, ranging from large to small. The large ones cover an area of tens of acres, and no buildings can be seen at a glance beyond the walls; the small ones are exquisite and chic, a villa, a small courtyard, nothing more. .
Different families have different preferences. Some houses have their walls cleaned up and painted with white paint; Into autumn. Ryan and Oston turned a corner, and a tall wisteria planted in the center of the block jumped into view. The hanging wisteria flowers were like a waterfall. The wisteria flowers moved with the breeze, and the cascading sea of flowers undulated, which was so beautiful. People can't take their eyes off.
Several blue big-winged butterflies flew close to the purple vines, and their gently flapping wings exuded a blue radiance under the sunlight.
Dafu approached curiously, raised his front paws to support the tree trunk, and looked up at the hanging wisteria flowers. The fragrance of wisteria made his nose itch, and he shook his head back and forth. Suddenly a big-winged blue butterfly flew close to Dafu, and stopped at the tip of its nose in Dafu's eyes.
"Ah Choo~"
The nose was disturbed, and Dafu couldn't help but sneezed. The recoil of the sneeze was quite strong, and Dafu rolled backwards in a circle. The little white beast stood up, shyly raised its paws to cover its eyes, and rushed to the master's feet after a while, as if the embarrassing incident just now had never happened.
The cloud over Auston's heart dissipated completely, and he easily talked about the reason why he was only obsessed with children at first, "Great-great-grandfather left a few last words, and you know one of them, that is, you can't leave the old house. The second is that the patriarch of the family who inherited the old house has no children at the age of 50, so he must choose the best among the heirs of his relatives to adopt, so as to ensure that the family blood can not be interrupted. The third... "
The great-great-grandfather left only five precepts, which are related to family development and inheritance. I won’t say much about the other three, which are not very important here. Auston was already forty years old when he was successfully adapted. Before that, his relatives couldn’t wait for his fifty-year-old arrival, and actively promoted their children to him, aiming at everything under Auston’s name. After all, their surname is Doyle It bothered Auston a lot, being used, using people, and so on, and what annoyed him even more was that they threatened him with estate law threats.
When the great-great-grandfather left the family instruction, he registered it with the Supreme Court. It is valid for one thousand years. During the valid period, all members of the Dalton family must abide by it. Those who violate it will not be able to get a penny from the family fund. To the patriarch The requirements are even more stringent. If you do not adopt a child, all properties under your name will be temporarily frozen, and your duties will be suspended.
"The reason why I desperately want a child, you now know." Alston looked at the unreal sky, the transparent film presented only the beautiful side to the human eye, and the haze floating in the sky was "filtered" out . "I'm not for the riches."
"I know." Auston really doesn't have any needs for material things. He never cared about what to eat or how to wear before. He can live by eating canteen all year round and wearing military uniform all year round.
"I don't want all the hard work of my parents, grandparents, and grandparents to fall into the hands of people who don't understand." A sternness flashed in Alston's eyes, and he often saw how many hands were behind the few relatives who were jumping around in front of him. He's not a fool, he knows it! It's just bullying that others are young and weak, young and weak. He gritted his teeth and would not let the people behind him do what he wanted, and he would fight back from time to time. The descendants of the Dalton family are not cowards.
The family's weakness has always been one of the reasons why the Dalton family is not strong enough in the eyes of outsiders, and the family is not harmonious, which seems to be full of loopholes.
"It's me now."
Dalton looked at Ryan, and Ryan said with a smile: "In the future, there will be no fewer people in our family. He is the eldest brother, and he will set an example for his younger brothers and sisters." Ryan stroked Auston's stomach, and touched his mouth up and down. Just throw a bunch of things to the unborn children. The future belongs to the children. These old guys will go back to the E69 planting star to farm and raise cattle. From time to time, they will mail some local products and take some photos for the children. It's beautiful to think about.
Alston smiled, "Can you put too much pressure on the child?"
"You should think, he is our child, and he is very capable of bearing pressure."
Orston retorted, "That's not a reason to make him suffer too much. I can't help it, but I hope my children can have a happy childhood and youth." period.
Ryan: "..." He suddenly felt that educating children would be a big deal in the future, "You are right." From now on, Auston will control the general direction, and he will start a small stove for children.
Walking is a very pleasant thing, especially walking slowly side by side with the one you like. The breeze brings the fragrance of flowers around the nose, and the warm sun jumps on the body from time to time through the overlapping leaves. It is a quiet little beauty in the afternoon.
"I didn't understand why my great-great-grandfather left these legacy," said Alston.
"now what?"
"I understand." Oston looked at Ryan and said, "For the sake of the old man." For the truth of seven hundred years ago, for the descendants of the Qin family to find here one day, it is fair to the world.
···
At 8:50 in the morning in Adam City, the capital city, a tall and straight man stood at the gate of the Imperial Mecha Research Institute next to the university town. He was about thirty years old, with a soft face, a gentle temperament, and a smile on his face. Looking very friendly, this person is Ryan who came to the appointment on time.
The research institute is not a tall building. The house hidden in the forest is only a low three-story building. Compared with the surrounding buildings of thirty or forty floors, the short one is the great-grandson of the high-rise building. He came out to work before the full moon to earn milk powder for himself. money. The low building occupies a large area. According to Ryan's investigation, the official data released to the public is that it covers an area of more than 6,000 square meters, and more than 50 research projects are carried out in the building at the same time.
The more than 50 projects refer to the large-scale projects that have been approved. There are also complicated sub-projects under these large-scale projects, covering a lot of disciplines. Therefore, those who are lucky enough to work in the Imperial Mecha Research Institute are not only mecha-related majors. There are others, such as material application, AI programming, human anatomy and so on.
The final result of all majors is to serve the mecha manufacturing, so the mecha majors in this research institute are the best.
Regardless of whether it is mecha design, mecha maintenance, mecha manufacturing, or mecha application, as long as a researcher with the word "mecha" walks with style.
Everyone wants to enter here, not only because of high income and high treatment, but also because stepping here represents honor and social status.
Now, Ryan is standing at the gate of the Imperial Mecha Research Institute, ten to fifteen years ahead of his plan.
"Lian Smith..." The guards at the gate of the Mecha Research Institute are not ordinary guards, but the garrison of the capital star of the empire, who have the right to shoot directly when they detect the enemy's situation. The tall black guard is holding a gun in one hand and pointing back and forth on the screen with the other. His posture looks lazy, and the guards at the door are also sparse, but Ryan can tell that the real thing is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. , Anyone who thinks it is easy to break in here, and if he is brave enough to break in, what awaits him is a gun.
Seeing the access card number displayed on the screen, the guard's eyes changed suddenly, and he looked at Ryan carefully, "Mr. is a guest of Master Macia. After entering, there will be a robot to guide you. As long as you don't go to the institute In some 0-level areas, other places are unimpeded."
According to the different importance in the institute, each area is divided into six levels: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The smaller the number, the higher the level.
Packing lightly, Ryan nodded with a backpack, "Thank you."
"Sir, just show me your access card, so you don't need to delay you for so long." The guard's attitude changed from his previous indifference to a very enthusiastic one. Just transfer the card to the homepage of the personal terminal, just point to the robot and scan it, and it will provide you with thoughtful service.”
Ryan expressed his gratitude again, "Thank you."
The guard looked at Ryan curiously. It was the first time he met a young man with such a stable attitude. Could it be that he is a master of science and technology who has done the genetic beauty technique? As long as you are willing to spend money, cosmetic surgery that directly affects genes is also available now. Beauty is the eternal pursuit of human beings.
"Then don't bother sir, please come in, sir."
Ryan said again: "Thank you." Stepping in, he was the one who said thank you to more than a thousand soldiers who participated in the war one by one, and his facial expressions and emotions were as stable as Mount Tai.
Seeing Ryan's back gradually going away, the black guard couldn't help but speculate, who is this big bull, who was personally invited by Master Maia, and it was the first time he saw an unclassified access card since he was guarding here , Before today, he thought that the unclassified pass was a legend among his companions, but now he has become a part of witnessing the legend, and he will definitely become a part of the legend in the future.
For example, a long time later, when people talked about the great Ryan, they would say that he stepped into the mecha for the first time to study and said that the guard who received him was XXX.
This is still a long time later, and the black guard would not have thought of what a great person he was receiving, and even Ryan himself didn't know that he could be great again.
Scanned a robot, the robot is cylindrical, it is estimated that the designer is a fan of the movie "Star Wars" in the ancient earth period, the guiding robot of the research institute is the same as the one in the movie. Ryan, led by the robot, entered the gray hexagonal building, which was dubbed the Hexagonal Building by the outside world.
"Good morning, Ryan." Master Macia's voice came from the robot.
Lane said, "Good morning, Goss."
The moment he entered the building with the access pass numbered 003, Gauss Macia's personal terminal received a notification that the guest he had invited had arrived.
"I am very much looking forward to meeting you. I am currently in the 1-003 laboratory in Area C, waiting for you to come."
"Wait a minute, I'm passing through the isolation gate in Area A, and I'll be there soon."
Each corner of the hexagonal building corresponds to a letter, which is divided into 7 districts. The hexagonal AB...F and the middle O, probably because the O is more suitable for the middle.
The functions of each district are different, and there are isolation doors between each district. Along the way, Ryan saw many hurried and unsmiling staff, saw many different types of robots, and the speed was not low. Someone once said The gait rate of the staff reflects the working conditions and prosperity of a place (it is definitely not what Qin Feng Anderson said). Judging by this standard, the Imperial Mecha Research Institute is undoubtedly the best.
Passing through Area B, the main function of this place is to display to the outside world. There are many glass windows in the corridor, displaying many parts of mechas, and even some from the battlefield still bear the traces of gunpowder smoke and the scars of Zerg bites.
Ryan was interested in this place, but he didn't stay long. The highest-secret laboratory that he can currently access is waiting for him. Under the guidance of the robot, Ryan walked to the door of the 1-003 laboratory on the third basement floor of Area C after 20 minutes. As expected, the research institute is not as simple as it appears to the world. The three-story low building on the ground is just the tip of the iceberg for people to see. The space under the ground must be larger and deeper, and it hides more secrets.
The gray door of the 1-003 laboratory opened in front of Ryan. The door leaf has two floors, and the left and right sides are retracted. After entering, it is not a laboratory, but a changing room. The robot said with a synthetic voice of a child's voice: "Mr. Smith, the laboratory Static electricity is not allowed inside, please change into lab coats here. There are new clothes in the closet on the wall, just step on the air door in the corner, and the door will pop out automatically. You don’t need to worry about your privacy being threatened. While you are changing clothes, I will be on standby, there is no monitoring equipment in the changing room, you can wake me up by patting me after you change clothes, please be gentle, Xiao Liu will hurt."
The robot also knows how to be cute.
"Please put your clothes and luggage in the locker after changing. We will keep all the valuables you brought."
Tong Yan Tong Yu is very cute, and Ryan even thinks about making a nanny robot for children in the future, using such a voice, humming, and then importing the original into it.
The lab coat is light blue, with a good texture, not inferior to any big-name clothing materials. What is even more extravagant is that the clothes are disposable. Ryan sighed, and it really started with "Empire", which means that there is money and a lot of money. Ah, if he had the current equipment back then, let alone the original, he could still be a Yuan Erlang.
Not much to say about the past, Ryan, who had changed his clothes, patted the head of the cylindrical robot, activated the robot, and the well-behaved child's voice sounded again, "Mr. Smith, Xiao Liu is very happy to serve you again. Change the experiment After taking the clothes, you can enter the next door, where you will receive a small body surface cleaning for about 20 seconds, and you can officially enter the laboratory after 20 seconds. Xiao Liu will wait here When you come back, remember to wake up Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu is looking forward to continue serving you."
"Thank you, Little Six."
The indicator light on the head of the robot Xiao Liu flickered, "You're welcome." I thought the program was over, but unexpectedly, the light on Xiao Liu's head flickered twice and said: "Mr. Smith is the first one to say thank you to Xiao Liu." Xiao Liu is very happy, thank you."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Liu moved to the wall and stayed with other robots of similar shape. Its headlight had a red light on in standby mode. Ryan glanced at Xiao Liu, thoughtful. He didn't linger here any longer, turned around and walked to the door on the next floor, and received 20 seconds of body surface cleaning in the cleaning room. It was the gentle wind that wrapped himself up, and the wind smelled a bit like dessert. After the cleaning was over, he went to the The door of the laboratory finally opened.
The huge laboratory with a dark metal surface came into Ryan's field of vision. The laboratory is 600 square meters and 50 meters high. The wall has irregular undulations and bulges. The sci-fi and sophistication presented by the laboratory amazed the bumpkin Ryan who had just entered the place, and wanted to take a photo with the wall in a particularly tasteless way and show it to Auston when he got home.
Ignore the walls for a moment and see what's in the room.
Three low test benches with a diameter of fifteen meters, two of which were empty, and a semi-formed mech over ten meters tall was placed on one of the test benches. Standing up, the wolf with its hind paws on the ground, the body of the wolf-shaped mecha is plugged with an indefinite number of connecting wires, which are connected to various machines. Many scientific researchers are working under the feet of the mecha and on the body. Among the group of people was Master Macia, and many scientific researchers surrounded him to wait for instructions.
Ryan glanced at the crowd and then set his sights on the mecha. He once wrote in his work notebook that the shape of the mecha does not need to be limited to the shape of a human. The beasts have their own characteristics. They are better at hunting than humans. It can bring more inspiration to mecha production.
Inspiration is great, but how to overcome the same frequency disorder with the driver is a big problem.
Qin Feng Anderson just put forward an idea more than 700 years ago, and someone realized it hundreds of years later. I have to say that Ryan was very satisfied and happy.
"Lane."
Ryan looked at Master Macia, who was surrounded by researchers. He was waving towards him, and walked over. In the presence of outsiders, Ryan kept some of his own mystery, so he said, "Master Macia."
Gauss McAir had a smile in his eyes, "How does it feel to see a wolf-shaped mech?"
"It's shocking." A wolf stands upright on its hind legs. The picture is too beautiful, but he is willing to take a few more glances for the sake of the mech business.
The researchers around looked at Ryan, wondering in their hearts who the young man called by Master Macia himself was.
···
To paraphrase a very universally applicable saying, "Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch". When Ryan was exploring the secrets of the Mecha Research Institute, Auston was enjoying a good time at home, accompanied by his unborn child and great blessing Sitting by the window, basking in the sun and reading a book, he felt that his whole body was a little heavy due to laziness, but his inner soul was much lighter. It's so easy to put down the work at hand and not think about so much.
More than two months will be the National Day, and there will be a military parade for the entire army. The soldiers selected by the Golden Cross will come to the parade camp in Capital Star one after another in a month. Before the soldiers are trained, the officers need to Set out the work ahead of time. After Alston took over the main tasks, he distributed the work to several lieutenants, who were responsible for the specific implementation. He only needed to read some summary reports, and occasionally went to the scene during training.
The life at home is very comfortable. The old family members who already knew their own shortcomings began to get to know their little master again, and the care they provided became more and more considerate. Especially with Ryan's arrangement, there is no shortage of beautiful colors in the house and it is not irritating. Smells of fresh flowers decorate. Laura and her daughter-in-law gave full play to the advantages of women and added many cute, beautiful and unobtrusive small decorations to the home. A ceramic black cat with its head tilted stood on the edge of the flower stand, and a row of plums Small and large metal decorations are hidden on the edge of the table... Looking carefully at the chair cushion, the patterns on it turned out to be green little soldiers.
Inadvertently, you can discover the changes in this home, and it is no longer dull and monotonous black and white.
And Oston always has a plate of strawberries at hand. The strawberry plants of E69 have not been delivered yet, and the small strawberries of Capital Star are also delicious. It is very suitable as a snack, and you can't stop eating one bite at a time.
The chef's Chinese food skills are just a step forward, so he won't show his shame, but he is a veteran of Western food. He baked a pound cake for Alston. The dense cake body was poured with a layer of honey and decorated with Chopped strawberry granules, cut into slices, and eaten with slightly bitter milk tea is definitely the best. There are small desserts, and of course there is no shortage of staple food. Alston proposed to eat pasta, and the chef made a pot of tomato bolognese noodles with sliced mushrooms in it. , with some white truffles dotted on it, two pink and tender shrimps in the pumpkin corn vegetable soup, a section of sweet corn, a section of purple potato, half of the potato are steamed, sliced okra and eggs together become Light scrambled eggs with a little tomato sauce on the edge.
These are Alston's meals, no longer the traditional red wine steak, salad bisque…
After knowing that he was pregnant, all the symptoms of the body became obvious. Oston became lethargic and couldn't help yawning shortly after lunch. He forced himself to stand for 20 minutes before going upstairs to fall asleep, with Ryan on his pillow. The pillow smells like Ryan in his sleep.
Outside the door of Dalton's old house, two people approached, pushing and shoving. Twenty or thirty meters away from them, a group of people dragged along. A rough count estimated that there were fourteen or five people. The afternoon sun in Eve City was just right, making people drowsy, and the people who were not allowed to drive vehicles on the ground could only walk slowly towards the goal.
The two men walked the fastest. One had obvious wrinkles on his face, and the root of his dyed hair had grown white. He was an elderly man who must be over 250 years old. In the face of anti-aging, human beings have gone a long way, but they still can't fight against nature. The wrinkles on the face will become deeper and deeper when they are over 250 years old. Quality loss, taste degradation, etc., technology can do nothing. Another man with a slightly weathered face, a few white hairs on his forehead, light brown eyes and dark blue eyes. This man was seen by Auston and Ryan yesterday. It is Auston's uncle Bevis Doyle pause.
"Your children live in nests, how can such a small broken house live?" The old man pointed to the heavy and majestic but very simple gate of the old house, and said through gritted teeth: "Look, your eyes are wide open." Look, there are more than ten acres of land here, the house is very big, you can live in whatever you want, no, no, no, all of us can live, don't forget, our surname is Dalton, my great-grandfather is General James Dalton's youngest brother! And you, you are the eldest son of Auston, the eldest son of the previous generation. This family should have been inherited by you, but in the end it will fall to Auston, who is unreasonable and disrespectful to his elders In the hands of the bastard!"
Bivis looked down at the ground without looking at his eyes.
The old man sneered contemptuously in his heart, the mud that can't support the wall, bastard, how could the Dalton family be such an idiot. He despised him in his heart, but the expression on the old man's face was the grief and indignation of being treated unfairly. He touched his chest and said hoarsely: "How many times have I told you these words? Many, many times, too many times to count, But you, you didn’t do anything at all. When Auston’s old man and your good brother just died, you were not what you are now. What about the pride you had back then? The life of your family is much more difficult now than it was then .”
"No, no." Bivis said dully, "At that time I was young, dazzled by money and power, and did something wrong.
Already sorry for Alston. Uncle, I won't go, Nana and I will go home. "
The old man: "..." After fooling around for a long time, he retracted when he kicked the door, my God! "
"You can't go, bastard..." The old man suddenly withdrew the swearing that was about to blurt out, and quickly changed his words, "It's pitiful enough for us to be messed up now. Our surname is Dalton, and our family should treat us well. Auston is over forty Yes, time flies, seeing that fifty is coming, he has no suitable partner yet, how can he have children if he is not married, even if he is married, it is so easy to have children, remember James Dalton's legacy Well, he will lose everything when he is over fifty and childless, and no one will inherit the glory of the Dalton family, can you bear to watch all this happen?"
"uncle… "
"You have to know that everything you do now is for the future of the Dalton family." The old man followed the temptation and continued to brainwash Bivis, "You often watch the news, you should know the current situation, right? It's not very optimistic. Which big family has a small number of people like ours. Bivis, your family has many children. Adopt one to Auston. Auston can get out of the predicament. In the future, the heirs of the family will also have brothers How nice it is for sisters to help you."
"I..." Bivis didn't inherit his father's decisiveness and firmness, nor did he inherit the iconic black eyes of the Dalton family. The low self-esteem was brought on from birth, and he couldn't make decisions. Moreover, Beavis is soft-hearted, indecisive, and easily persuaded.
"Just do as I said, we'll go in now." The old man made a final decision, not giving Bivis any chance to hesitate, "Think about a large group of children living in a 60-square-meter house, think about it." Nana, such a talented child wants to go to the Imperial Academy of Arts but has no choice. Isn’t it because of the lack of money and people? As long as you live in the old house in the future, what do you want? If you want the children to fulfill their dreams, they will be able to fulfill their dreams .”
Bivis lowered his head. He remembered that when his younger brother died, he was persuaded by another clansman to try to intimidate Auston, who was only in his twenties, to live in the old house as an elder and control the Dalton family and his family. Auston's life... Of course, it was not successful, but the 20-year-old Dalton showed quite sophisticated means to calm the turmoil within the family. He was just a clown and a target pushed out by someone with a heart. Bivis, who knew all this, was ashamed and never contacted Auston again. And that clansman jumping up and down among the clansmen, Bivis never saw him again.
Some people said that the man was killed by Oston's men. Some people said that the man was thrown to a remote planet as a coolie, and there would be no future for him in this life. someone said…
Whether it is true or not, Oston has shown his ruthless methods, so that the small-minded people dare not act rashly. After more than ten years, some people couldn't hold back anymore, and began to make fuss by using James Dalton's legacy.
Bivis raised his head and glanced at the gate. When he was young, he was impulsive, and he entered the painting industry regardless of his father's opposition. When he walked out of this gate, he thought that he would soon make a name for himself in the art world, but no, his father was right, he I don't know myself enough, I don't have talent in painting, and the things I draw are full of craftsmanship and lack of aura. Such works are all over the street, and it only costs ten or twenty star coins to buy one on Starnet.
"dad."
With his arms wrapped around him, Bivis patted his daughter Nana's hand, "Let's go."
The door of the Dalton family was pried open, and the serious gentleman Bowles received the group. He served tea and snacks politely and thoughtfully, and turned on the light-screen TV for everyone to watch, but did not mention the matter of inviting Auston to come down to meet the guests. The old man was a little embarrassed by Bowles, and tried to hold his head up to make himself look righteous, but in fact he shouted sternly, "The elders are here, why hasn't Auston come? After becoming the admiral of the empire, don't you forget your roots and don't recognize poverty?" Relatives? Hehe...hehe..." Under Bowers' indifferent gaze, the old man gradually lost his voice.
Bowles looked back in satisfaction, said softly: "You guys wait a moment." He turned and walked out.
It's still early now, how could it be possible to call the general who is taking a nap to get up, these people wait.
Waiting is the thing that consumes the most patience. A group of eight or nine adults, five or six children, many people lose patience, especially some young children, under the concept instilled by their parents, they have begun to regard themselves as this the master of the house.
