Chapter 408 Maiduo Village

Of course, whether the rules are rules or not also depends on the person.

Ordinary monarchs, of course, must abide by these rules.

But for Derek, it mainly depends on his mood.

The rules that are pleasing to the eye are the rules, and the ones that are not pleasing to the eye must be changed.

After struggling for so many years, don’t you want to live a clear life?

So he held the Ferreira couple and forcibly pulled them into the castle.

"Father, mother, the winter wind is strong and cold, don’t you two feel cold?" Without waiting for the old baron to speak, he turned his head and said to his eldest brother Marco: "Big brother, you take care of the family in the future. We don’t have so many rules in our family."

Big brother Marco smiled and nodded, but with the old father’s personality, I am afraid that he can’t persuade him.

The Ferreira family’s castle is a bit old, but it has been well repaired and maintained in the past two years. Although there are some traces of time, it generally looks new.

Derek and his wife have come back a few times, and the two little guys don’t have much memory. Everything they see is new.

Reincarnation is a technical job, but there are gains and losses.

The two little guys were born with everything in the world, but also lost a lot, such as... troubles.

Derek knew what they were thinking at a glance. After entering the house and formally paying respects to the elders, he sent the two of them out to play.

Then the nobles came in like a passing visit and went out in turn.

This is trouble. Going home is also inseparable from the social etiquette. Derek received them with a smile, and gave some comments and encouragement to some of the new generation of little guys.

Looking at their excited looks, they are just like themselves in the past.

...

Little Tru followed for a day, and after eating and drinking, he staggered out of the castle through the small door.

His home is in the nearby Maiduo Village, which used to be the edge of the Ferreira family's territory, but now it has become the center.

There is no other reason. Less than one-third of the first batch of old brothers who followed the Duke survived, but each of them had a title.

Those who died were also rewarded. The children of the family were able to enter the officialdom smoothly, and their starting point was higher than that of ordinary people.

The remaining villagers all have relatives and friends who have made it big, so it is not difficult to find a way out.

So Maiduo Village has become a noble village. Although a large number of people have moved out, there are still many old people.

Especially this year, a lot of people came back and it was very lively.

Little Tru drank a few more cups today. After all, there are too many acquaintances and he has to accompany the Duke.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to drive himself when he goes out. He has his own servants to serve him.

Compared with most nobles who still prefer carriages, Little Tru likes new things very much.

The car sped on the asphalt road that was better than that of Plan City, and it took only a moment to get home.

Maiduo Village was still brightly lit. There was a military camp nearby, where a company of soldiers were stationed at ordinary times. Today, at least an entire infantry regiment settled here.

The village was even more lively, and the slaves, retainers and subordinates of each family filled the house.

Even if you are a local leader, you can enjoy a big bunk bed today.

As for the black slaves of each family, the lucky ones can have a cowshed, and the unlucky ones can just lie in the snow.

After all, although the price of black slaves has increased, what can be bought with money is nothing to each family.

The same is true for the little Tru family. The blacksmith shop in the early years was deliberately preserved, but a separate house has been built.

Of course, it is enough for normal times, but today a bunch of people poured in, and the slaves' residences were crowded.

Various servants, including subordinates, filled the little Tru family.

When he went home, a large room was full of people waiting, and no one went to sleep.

After all, only a few people can attend the Duke's dinner, and ordinary people don't have the qualifications to accompany the wine.

The old Tru couple also waited eagerly. They worked hard all their lives, and they didn't expect to get ahead even when they were old.

And when little Tru was taken away by the draft, the couple made a baby overnight, one a year, and gave him three younger brothers and sisters.

At this time, the little guys were also sleepily waiting for their eldest brother to come home.

"Master craftsman."

"Factory director."

"Director."

Each person has a different name. Little Tru has brought out countless technical officials in the past ten years. He is really a winner.

"Big brother, why do you drink so much?"

The old mother brought hot soup and felt a little distressed when she saw her son's appearance.

Old Tru lit a pot of dry tobacco and frowned and scolded: "Women's views, big brother is following the Duke now, of course, socializing is inevitable."

Old Tru has no knowledge, and his mind is still the same old ideas. It's not easy for his son to get ahead, so what's the point of this little hardship?

Drinking too much would have been a good thing ten years ago. He is a country blacksmith and he doesn't get drunk many times a year!

Little Tru waved his hand, signaling the two to stop arguing.

He is filial, but it's a pity that the two old people don't want to go with him.

But now life is better. In the past few years, they have been pampered and have fewer traces of labor on the old couple, but the marks left by the sparks on their bodies cannot be washed away.

"Mom, it's okay. I don't drink too much every day. This is just a special case."

After chatting about the banquet for a while, Little Tru brought up the old matter again: "You two should come with me after the New Year. Even for the sake of the children, we should go to Plan City. The education there is better."

Unfortunately, these words did not fool Old Tru. Behind the smoke, his old face was blurred: "You are still a little naive. What's wrong with your family?

The teachers in the school in this village are all associate professors from some university. You know a lot about it.

And... the old baron is..."

"Director Tru."

Old Tru was about to teach his son a lesson, but someone suddenly came in.

If it was outside, this situation would not happen if the gates of each house were high.

However, in Maiduo Village, no one had a low gate, and the old people could do whatever they wanted without reporting this statement.

As soon as they saw little Tru coming back, someone brought the old people in.

Several old guys sat down with a smile, and old Tru did not show off because of his son's success, after all, they lived in the same village.

Others came for little Tru, so they just went out for a walk together.

The newly built houses were all in one area, and the roads were paved with bluestone slabs.

Even if it had just snowed, the ground was swept clean.

Most of the people who came to visit were officers in the army.

Little Tru was familiar with most of them, after all, they ate from the same pot in the first few years, and they just slept in the same tent.

"Director Tru, I heard that there will be a batch of new equipment after the New Year?"

"Yes, there are a batch of good stuff. You can apply for it in advance and test it at your place."

The visitor spoke and asked about the equipment after the New Year.

Of course, Tru knew that official business was just an excuse. What everyone wanted to ask was the Duke's attitude.

What should and should not be said, Tru knew it clearly. He chatted with him for a few words, walked around the new village, and said goodbye at his door.

Other visitors who lived far away could not come so late, but they would not be idle for the next few days.

Tru looked up at the sky, and it happened that... snowflakes were falling.

"It's really... different."
