Faced with Hayes's repeated questions, Xiao Fei was speechless for a while. It took him a while to hold back a sentence and said stumblingly:
"But why did she..."
"When someone teases you, you take it seriously. Did she say that she likes you? She gave away so many possessions for free. With all this money, wouldn't it be better to bring it home to show your father respect and filial piety? Marry someone more real.
Wife, you are not young anymore, and you have also received a combat award. You really disappoint me."
Little Feiton lowered his head.
"I know I was wrong, uncle, mainly because I couldn't control her smile..."
"Forget it, forget it then, let's go and buy something with me."
"Uh, uncle, what do you want to buy?"
"Buy something to take home, and I'll buy some for you by the way. You can't go back empty-handed, right?"
After getting in the car, Feiton was still in a very low mood. He sat in the passenger seat and was silent for a long time. When the off-road vehicle entered the wide main road of the city, he suddenly said something.
"Uncle, if I was also a major, would Ornella like me?"
"Tsk... What can I say to you? There are no women in this universe. She's already like this and you still... Forget it, let's wait until you become a major. Besides, after you go back this time, your father will definitely
It will allow you to get a wife and start a family, so don’t think too much about it.”
"If you want me to marry a country woman, you might as well kill me..."
Hayes raised his hand and slashed the back of the opponent's head.
"Hey, you still picked it? My young master Feiton, you still need to find a eldest lady for you?"
"Well...didn't you say that I have been on the promotion list? Am I a sergeant or a staff sergeant?"
"How do I know, you ask me..."
"Uncle, didn't you get three medals and a Torch Medal? I heard from other people that regiment leaders don't get many medals. Will you be able to become a major when you are promoted?"
"Don't talk nonsense like this. It's something arranged by the commanders. Besides, the threshold from lieutenant to colonel is not that easy to cross... When I served in the Astra Militarum,
I have heard that many captains did not receive the rank of major after they were discharged from the army, and they stayed in the rank of lieutenant for decades."
"But uncle, everyone says that you have connections in the Space Marines, so being awarded the rank of Major is a sure thing! Besides, our company has made so many achievements, and you still have to command a group of militiamen and lead the company commander's duties.
For the leader's job, those young men are called majors. If you don't have a major, it won't make sense. Our auxiliary army is not the Astra Militarum and there are so many masters."
"I don't think about that much right now. I just want to go home quickly and see the children."
Then he glanced at Feiton and saw that the boy still looked depressed. He lowered his voice and said softly:
"Actually, to be honest, this is also a good thing for you. That woman is too scheming. You are not the one who can control her. With your character, it would be better to find someone simple, even if you don't know a few words, than her. My hometown is not
There is a shortage of good girls. When you go back, there will be a lot of people to introduce to you... Think about it, many people from home have died in foreign lands. Let alone marrying a wife, they can't even return home. Look at it, you are still young.
Here..."
As a result, Feiton suddenly said something.
"She really likes that gift. She should still have me in her heart... Should I try harder... Ouch! Uncle, why are you kicking me! You are driving!"
"Get out! You worthless thing! If you do this again, I'll kick you out! I won't let you look at your flat face and get upset!"
"I didn't say anything..."
Suddenly, Hayes slammed on the brakes, and the off-road vehicle stopped in front of a three-story wooden house. This was a residential area outside the Holy City. The road was not very wide, so a military vehicle directly occupied one-third of the road.
, but people passing by carefully avoided it.
After getting off the car, Hayes and the two walked to the door of the cabin. The ground floor here was transformed into a shop, which mainly sells a local specialty sweets, which is made from grain starch mixed with some sugars and some local crops.
It is made of fillings with some black granular stuff on the outside. There are several large pots in the store filled with boiling cooking oil. After the thumb-sized balls are put down, they make a sizzling sound.
It swells to the size of the palm of your hand and emits a sweet, burnt aroma.
A man, a woman and two young men were busy in the store. The man was responsible for cooking, the two young men were responsible for frying and scooping up, and the woman was responsible for selling. There was an endless stream of residents coming and going, which showed that it was very popular.
"Boss, I want 20."
After coming to the glass container and saying hello, Hayes turned to Feiton aside.
"You can go find her later and get back the things you gave her before."
Upon hearing this, Fei Dun's eyes widened.
"ah?"
"Ah, what, your hard-earned money, shouldn't you get it back? Do you really want to go back empty-handed? Your dad's waist has always been bad. Buy him a support exoskeleton so that he won't always hurt his waist when he does heavy work.
Already."
"I won't go! How embarrassing! How can I get back the gifts I sent out? If this spreads out, the whole division will laugh at me! I might as well be dead!"
"An unsatisfying thing!"
"Master Jun, your twenty is ready!"
Hayes took the paper bag and handed over a ten-dollar bill, but the landlady took it away, forcing a forced smile on her sweaty face.
"Master Jun, the price has increased... the price has increased."
"ah?"
Hayes looked at the price board and noticed that the original price of 20 yuan for 10 yuan had become 20 yuan for 12 yuan.
"It's only been a few days..."
"Master Jun, prices have been rising recently, and our store is also a small business..."
At this moment, the man in the store suddenly coughed lightly, and the woman also changed her words:
"Since you are a military master, let's make it cheaper, just 10 yuan."
Hayes took out two coins from his pocket and put them on the counter together with the banknotes.
“Thank you for your patronage!”
After returning to the car, Xiao Fei Dun couldn't wait to take out one. As soon as he took a bite, he was burned and screamed.

But suddenly Xiao Fei stopped making a sound and stuck out his head curiously.
"Uncle, look."
Hayes looked over and saw that several girls had arrived in front of the store together. Two of them were wearing unique long-skirt maid outfits. One was tall, one was slightly shorter, one was calm, one was lively, one had fair and translucent skin, and one had fair skin.
Slightly wheat-colored, but they are all young and beautiful, and they are accompanied by two girls, one wearing smart clothes, the other wearing a sweet fluffy dress, but both have extraordinary temperament, and there are several more behind them covered in robes
He looks like a bodyguard at first glance.
"Oh, the eldest lady of which family is going out."
After they arrived at the store, they were chattering about wanting to buy something. Xiao Fei Dun on the side smiled and put his face next to the steering wheel.
"That one is dressed like a huntress, and that one's legs are longer than mine, hehe... his butt is still swaying when he walks..."
"Go, go, it's disgusting, my saliva is dripping onto the steering wheel."
At this moment, the communicator in the car suddenly rang. Hayes reached out and picked up the receiver and put it to his ear.
"I'm Hayes, what's the matter?"
After a few seconds he frowned.
"Division headquarters? Okay, I understand."
He closed the communication with a sigh and looked at Little Feiton.
"Come on, I can't buy it today. I have to go to the division headquarters."
Little Feiton stuffed a crispy ball into his mouth, swallowed it, and asked:
"What's the matter, so urgent?"
"I don't know either..."
"Could it be...that it's really about promotion?"
"Stop guessing, let's go, go back."
"Oh, I still want to see these two ladies...but no matter how beautiful they are, they are not as beautiful as Onila!"
"I'll slap you if you mention her again, shut up!"
When Hayes hurried to the division headquarters, what was waiting for him was the division commander whom he had never met a few times. In the office, the other party informed him with a smile that he had been confirmed on the promotion list and would be promoted by the chief executive in the near future.
He held the promotion ceremony in person, which meant that he was going to change from a captain to a major!
Hayes seemed extremely shocked by this. Although he had indeed made some military exploits and received medals, he felt that he would not easily cross the threshold of a colonel.
The division commander hinted to him that he should have received help from a certain "noble person". As for who this person was, Hayes could only guess by himself.
At that time, a person popped into Hayes' mind, but this may never be confirmed...
