Chapter 34 (1/2)

A young woman with a white hair band is washing clothes by the river in maple leaf village, kaidoziling, del Province, in the kingdom of foster.

Although it is late autumn, kaiduoqi belongs to the south, and the temperature is not too low and cold, so it is reasonable that the woman is still washing clothes at this time. Although her hands have been frozen white.

"Leah TIA calls you home for dinner ~" a middle-aged woman holding a headscarf shouted at the entrance of the village in the distance.

"I see ~ Aunt Mary ~" the woman responded, quickly put away the washed clothes, and put the unwashed ones aside. She was ready to come and wash them when she was free tomorrow.

After the woman cleaned up, she found that Aunt Mary was still waiting for her at the entrance of the village. She ran past with her things.

"Aunt Mary, let's go." The woman held the wooden basin for clothes in one hand and aunt Mary's arm in the other.

"Hey, TIA really has a good daughter. I envy her." Aunt Mary exclaimed.

"Aunt Mary, Hank, they are also good. Thank you for your help this year." Said the woman.

"Those boys, in addition to giving me a few mouths to eat, how can they have other skills!" Aunt Mary is always so hot.

"Ha ha ~" the woman covered her mouth and smiled.

"If your brother is the most promising in our village, he has been the leader of the team for only a few years. What will he do in the future?" Aunt Mary exclaimed.

Xu thought of her brother, whom she hadn't seen for several years. The woman Chen Mo said for a moment and smiled, "Hans is also very good. The third class soldier is also praised in the village."

"That boy doesn't have to rely on your brother, Locke. I thought he was smart when I was a child." Aunt Mary was very happy to hear the woman praise her son.

They walked in the village together, and the passing villagers took care of them very warmly. Most of the parents in the village are elderly, and most of the young and middle-aged have joined the army.

After walking to a yard west of the village, Aunt Mary talked with the woman and left. Their house is next door and not far away.

The woman waved her hand, watched Aunt Mary enter her yard, and pushed the door into the house. The door leaf is just an ordinary firewood door, but it looks very new. It should be newly repaired.

"Mother, I'm back." Cried the woman.

The woman is Leah, Locke's sister, and this yard is also the home where Locke lived for 14 years.

"Oh, my daughter is back." An old man with gray hair squatted on a wooden pier in the yard, smoking a dry cigarette and greeting. This is old Locke, Locke and Leah's father.

Civilians have no surnames, only first names, such as Locke and Shaxi. In some families with low educational level, when there is only one boy, the child will inherit his father's name. For example, Locke will inherit his father's name. The villagers they know call them old Locke and little Locke.

Of course, Locke is a young man now, and his status is not low. People will no longer call him little Locke, but Locke.

Aristocrats are different. Each aristocrat has his own surname, family and clan emblem. These three are important criteria for judging the size of power among nobles. Outsiders generally call the aristocrat's surname. For example, kaiduoqi is a surname, and the surname represents the face of the aristocrat. Among the aristocrats, only the head of the family is qualified to be honored as a surname.

For example, there is only one Baron kaiduoqi. Although master Solon is also called kaiduoqi, others only call him Solon.

"Father, how many times have you said, don't always smoke!" Leah is a sensible and clever girl, but she always disagrees with her father on the matter that her father likes to smoke dry tobacco.
