The early morning sun shone on the courtyard, and it also shone on Monbyklev. He had just taken a bath and put on his best clothes, and his whole body was filled with joy.
The warm wind of the Mediterranean blowing on my face is really addictive, and it is much better than that of my hometown. Mombiklev remembers that it was very cold in Sliven, his hometown, and the cold wind from the Arctic blew all the way to the Romanian plains without any cover, and was blown away by it.
Blocked by the Bulgarian mountains. Unfortunately, Sliven is located to the north of the mountains, so winters often encounter severe cold temperatures of minus ten degrees. As a child, Monbyklev was wrapped up like a little bear in the winter, naughty with the children.
Play together.
Such days lasted until Mombiklev was five years old, and that year Mombiklev's family was mobilized to Salonika. The warm environment of the Mediterranean conquered his heart immediately, and the only bad thing about it was that
There are a lot of mosquitoes.
However, with the defeat of Bulgaria later, the Neuilly Peace Treaty transferred Bulgaria's best port to Greece. But the hard days came for Monbyklev, who was only nine years old, and his father died in this damn war.
, and he was raised entirely by his mother. However, years of fatigue caused his mother to die of a serious illness when she was just an adult in Monbiklev. Of course, there was also the oppression of them, the former Bulgarians, by the Greeks.
But now Mombiklev is no longer worried about the future. Now he is full of confidence. Because he has become a subject of the kingdom. Although it is now called the United Kingdom, in Mombiklev this is the Kingdom of Bulgaria.
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, picked up a piece of black bread and knocked on the door next door.
"Velex, we're ready to go, why are you still dawdling?"
"Okay Munch, I'm good."
As the words fell, a young man with flaxen hair walked out with a piece of bread in his mouth.
After taking a look at his clothes, Monbyklev frowned and said, "Why don't you change into better clothes? You're going to welcome the army into the city. The girls won't give you a second look then."
"Get used to it, get used to it."
After being lectured by Monbyklev, Veleks took a look at the clothes he was wearing and it was indeed inappropriate, so he got back with a whoosh. A few minutes later, Veleks changed drastically and dressed like a groom.
, standing proudly in front of Monbyklev.
"That's it."
Although it still feels a bit uncoordinated, it looks much more pleasing to the eye.
"Let's go, otherwise we'll miss the bus."
The two of them walked quickly towards the place where they were riding.
"The car is coming, hurry up."
"Why are there so many people?"
"Squeeze in first, otherwise it will be too late."
The two of them squeezed into the bus, which was packed like sardine cans, and found a slightly wider seat to stay.
Glancing at his crumpled clothes, Veleks couldn't help but say, "This car usually doesn't have so many cars."
"Maybe they all think the same as us."
Because of the stifling heat and various smells, neither of them wanted to talk.
The two of them followed the car all the way into the city. When they were about to reach their destination, they saw a large number of people in costumes on the street from time to time, as if they were celebrating a festival.
This made the two people who were crowded in the car feel much better. After finally arriving at Eamon Street, the two people who got off the car felt that they had entered a sea of joy, with people singing and dancing everywhere. It seemed like the whole of Thessaloniki.
Everyone comes here.
"Munch, look, that girl in yellow clothes over there."
Following the direction of Veleks's finger, Mombiklev saw a girl wearing bright yellow clothes chatting with her companions. The smile on her face was indeed fascinating, and he found that more than two people were looking at this girl.
Many people around were caught in it.
"Okay, Velex. We are here to welcome the army into the city this time, don't forget."
It was obvious that Monbyklev's words had no effect, and Veleks was completely fascinated. "It would be great if I could marry her as my wife."
"Wake up, Velex, it's time for us to go."
After finishing speaking, Monbyklev did not wait for Veleks to speak, and forcefully pulled him forward before continuing to walk forward. With so many years of working experience at the dock, Veleks, who was a small businessman, was no match for him, and he was quickly pulled away.
Walk.
"Stop, my shoe fell off. Hey, Munch, my shoe fell off."
…
"These are the new shoes I just bought."
Veleks, who had only one shoe on his feet, looked at Monbyklev with a resentful look, wanting to laugh and feeling guilty.
"I thought you were lying to me, so I didn't care so much."
Monbyklev looked at his friend's angry expression, and he didn't know why he suddenly wanted to laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Munch."
"Okay, I won't laugh. I promise not to laugh. Hahahaha."
The two people, who almost lost their friendship, finally reached a consensus when Veleks was wearing shoes and Monbyklev was barefoot.
When the two saw that the time was almost up, they quickly chose a good seat and looked forward to it. People who had the same idea as them were standing on the street, and they were all waiting.
Without letting them wait any longer, with a roar, the mighty Romanian army appeared in front of everyone with neat steps.
At the head was the military band, playing military music and walking at the front. Following them were soldiers in neat military uniforms. They walked neatly and walked past with their heads high and their chests held high amidst the cheers of everyone. These tall and mighty soldiers
The strong masculinity of the soldiers immediately ignited the atmosphere, and the scene burst into cheers. Flowers and ribbons flew in the air, making everyone present forget themselves and cheer.
Both of them were infected by this atmosphere, and they cheered enthusiastically along with the crowd.
Monbyklev looked at the troops passing by and exclaimed passionately, "This is our army."
"Yes, this is our army, no one can bully us anymore."
As the large group of infantry passed by, tanks, artillery, armored vehicles and other equipment appeared next. These heavy equipment were lined up in two rows and drove through the street in a mighty manner. The soldiers in the vehicles kept waving in the face of the cheers of the crowd.
Naturally, this received an enthusiastic response, with many bold girls blowing kisses, making the scene even more lively.
This scene made many young and energetic people flash the idea that I want to join the army.
"I want to join the army."
Mombiklev looked at the army in front of him and couldn't help but express his thoughts.
Listening to his friend's sudden decision, Velex couldn't help but ask, "Munch, have you really made your decision?"
"Yes, I've decided."
"Then I wish you good luck, Munch."
"how about you?"
"Of course I will still set up a stall on Venice Street. It will be great if I can buy a shop there in the future. I will definitely buy a shop there."
Amidst this lively greeting, the two young people were each thinking about their future.
