Chapter 230
Chapter 230
Although Merdis was reluctant, he still sighed and said, "It's a good thing that little Barrett grew up and wanted to go out for a walk. How could I stop you?"
He stretched out his hand, rubbed the plate on Barrett's big face, and said, "Wait until February, and I'll have Skeleton send someone over to pick you up."
Barrett couldn't hold back anymore, and burst into tears, hugging Merdis and refusing to let go.
Merdis had a sore nose.
This kid is ready to leave and give me such a show.
Isn't this pure cow and horse behavior?
Merdis patted Barrett on the shoulder, and said, "You kid is crying shit."
Barrett cried even harder, crying and shouting: "Brother, I won't leave, I won't leave, I will always follow you!"
"Go out if you want to, Barrett, it's a good thing for you to venture out more." Merdis patted Barrett's big face.
"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving, woo woo woo! I want to stay with big brother all the time."
"Silly boy, you were thinking of going out at that time, why don't you go now?"
"Second brother and third brother are gone, I have to accompany eldest brother."
"Oh, silly boy."
Merdis patted Barrett's big face again, and wiped the boy's tears helplessly.
Think back then, every time Barrett was beaten into tears, he had to coax him for a long time.
Now all I can do is wipe away his tears.
Looking at this scene, Tiki next to him suddenly said: "As the so-called elder brother is like a father, the deep relationship between the eldest brother and the fourth brother really makes me Tiki envious?"
Brother Doflaming hooked his neck and said, "It's okay, Fifth Brother can be a father too, you can serve me as a father for a while."
Tiqi couldn't hold back a smile, and said, "Fuck off."
"My boy, I think you are about to turn the world upside down, let's see how I will deal with you today." Merdis freed up a hand and grabbed the back of Doflamingo's neck.
"Brother, I was wrong."
……
The New Year's dinner was quickly put on the table, and the two women, who had been busy all morning, began to invite everyone to sit down.
After Merdis sat down at the table, he asked everyone to sit around the table.
After they were all seated, Merdis picked up an open bottle of sherry.
"Back then, Shiji and Brother Zefa and I spent a New Year together on the outskirts of Hive Island."
"At that time, the Zefa brothers liked this wine very much. At that time, the Zefa brothers drank about 20 cases in one go, and even praised this wine as the most domineering wine in the world."
"This year, as for me, it's not the same as in previous years. Let's not drink those red wines. Let's just drink this sherry wine."
Merdis raised the wine bottle towards Zefa's wife Arya and Guderian's wife Noska.
"Sister-in-law, and Mrs. Noska, it's the Chinese New Year today. You have been busy for a long time and cooked such a sumptuous meal for us. Us rough people didn't help."
Although Arya was used to Merdis treating everyone equally, she was still a little overwhelmed at this moment.
She is not like Norsca.
The Norsca family now directly belongs to Merdis' retainers, and she is Zefa's wife, and she lives here with her son, completely as a guest.
Now, the host is simply too polite.
She quickly picked up the wine bottle and said, "Merdis, you are really too polite. My son and I have been here all the time, so we can do some small things."
Merdis smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be too polite. Brother Zefa and I hit it off right away, and they have helped me a lot over the years. Zefa and I have long been close brothers. Sister-in-law is my brother. Living in my younger brother's home, and helping me so much with Mrs. Norsca, if you are polite, I, as a younger brother, would feel embarrassed."
Okay, another wave of mutual understanding.
Arya smiled, a little fidgeting.
Nuoska whispered: "It's all as it should be. We are a family of five and all live in the owner's house. I should do some small tasks."
"There has never been anything that should or should not be done, Mrs. Norska." Merdis stood up and smiled heartily, "Brothers, please raise the bottle together, let us drink it to the full."
Barrett and Doflamingo, who were sitting on the left and right of him, stood up immediately, each holding a bottle of sherry and preparing to have a big drink.
After all, Merdis said clearly, "lift the bottle" and "drink the bottle to the top".
Everyone stood up one after another, holding up wine bottles and preparing to clink glasses.
Rossindi dawdled in his seat, stood up silently, and then held up a wooden barrel of juice.
The wooden barrel was about 60 centimeters deep and 30 centimeters in diameter. It was with great difficulty that Rossindi picked it up with both hands.
"Uncle Rocinandi, we can't lift him up."
7-year-old Zescalia struggled to hold a wooden barrel, but couldn't lift it up.
"Uncle Rocinandi, I can't lift it either."
Guderian's 6-year-old daughter also muttered.
Rosinindi rolled his eyes, put down the wooden barrel in his hand, found two cups, scooped a glass of juice each, and put them in the hands of the two children.
"How about it, this is fine. As for me, my elder brother said to drink the bottle to the full. I don't have a bottle, so I have to drink the bucket to the full." Luo Xindi said triumphantly.
Barrett next to him almost burst out laughing.
This young man is so smart.
Merdis suppressed a smile and said: "Come on, let's celebrate the perfect end of this year, and make persistent efforts next year!"
"Done!"
Luo Xindi didn't dare to stretch his hand too far, and simply touched the people next to him with the wooden barrel, and couldn't wait to drink the juice.
Anyway, what Merdis said was full drinking.
He Rosindi happened to show his volume today.
When he put down the barrel, everyone was already moving their chopsticks, and Barrett, who loves his brother, was constantly adding meat to his plate.
There was no such thing before.
Luo Xindi was so moved that he couldn't be more moved, and said again and again: "Fourth brother, it's okay, it's okay, it's quite a lot, it's not too late to pick it up after eating."
Barrett nodded lightly, and said, "Lao Qi, you're right, it's never too late to pick it up after eating."
He stopped serving food and brought a plate of Rosindi's to himself.
Luo Xindi took a closer look and saw that there were already three plates in front of her good fourth brother.
One plate for sweets, one plate for meat and one plate for fruit.
"Fourth brother, this, this, this..." Rosinindi pointed to the three plates in front of Barrett, "I was so touched just now, I thought you were holding meat for me."
Barrett shook his head, and said, "Seventh Brother, only my brothers have served me food. When did you meet Fourth Brother and I served food for me?"
Luo Xindi choked, and said: "As expected of you, fourth brother."
"I am over-flattered."
Rossindi buried her head in eating meat, and other people's voices sounded from both sides.
Most of what they talked about was about planning for next year, and Rossindi was not very interested.
In a trance, he seemed to hear Merdis say the names of Polusalino and Sakaski.
As for the second brother Polusalino, it didn't affect him much.
The third brother Sakaski had a greater influence on him. When he first came to the manor, it was Sakaski who always took him with him.
They haven't seen each other since Sakarski left for business, though.
