Chapter 1771: 1772 Mother and son meet
Chapter 1771 Mother and son meet in 1772
The weather is no longer so cold, but the snow on the roadside has not melted yet. There was still white mist billowing as I spoke, and it was still very painful to go out without wearing thick cotton clothes.
Aunt Shireen found that Rewind Port was becoming more and more lively, there were more humans, and some streets had begun a new round of renovation.
There is a good vegetable market near their home, and the vendors who used to sell vegetables have moved in. In this way, the street looks more tidy, and a good boutique toy store has been opened where the food was originally bought.
There is always a group of children gathering there, pointing at the toys in the window. They don't know who those robots are, but as long as they are not blind, they know that these toys must be very fun.
The red robot can turn into a truck, and the yellow robot can turn into a car. For elf children, these things are a new world that they have never seen before.
Several children were quarreling over which of the robots displayed in the store was more powerful. A few older children firmly believed in their judgment: the one that can transform into a tank must be the most powerful, at least much more powerful than the one that transforms into a truck. .
Several children had different opinions. In their opinion, the big one must be the most powerful, and the big red one must be particularly powerful.
Naturally, their argument will be fruitless. Maybe after a year or two, when they have TV sets in their homes and can watch many TV programs, they will know that there is something called cartoons, and there is a cartoon It's called "Transformers."
This is a memory unique to children of this era. Years later when they mention these things, they will smile knowingly: How many people have debated whether the gender of Andromeda Saint is male or female?
Shireen is very willing to see these changes in Rewind Port, because she knows that her two sons are still alive, so she is now full of hope for life.
For her, the world is getting better, which is evident in the increasing number of cars on the streets.
Some humans were talking to themselves with a very small gadget. Shireen once thought that these people were crazy. But later Charlie told her that it was a device that could make calls, and Shirin was completely shocked by the science and technology of the Tang Empire.
It turns out that a phone does not have to have a line. It turns out that pictures thousands of kilometers away can be transmitted to the eyes through images, allowing people to see everything happening in the distance very intuitively.
These things that are unimaginable to elves are becoming more and more popular over time. And for the people served by these new technologies, life will naturally become more fulfilling and richer.
When Shilin walked back to the door of her familiar home, she saw a thin figure standing at the door. Shilin was not worried about evildoers, because the security of Rewind Port under the management of the Tang Empire was really good.
It may be an exaggeration to say that the house is open at night, but compared to the past, those annoying gangsters and extortionate officials are indeed missing.
"Who are you looking for?" Shirin asked habitually. On the one hand, she wanted to confirm the other party's identity and the purpose of coming here. On the other hand, she also hoped to help the other party as little as possible. The figure turned around, one sleeve swinging unnaturally. When she saw that familiar yet slightly unfamiliar face, Shirin's whole body started to tremble.
"Mom!" Frank couldn't stop the tears in his eyes. He dropped the satchel in his hand, rushed to Shireen in three steps at a time, stretched out his hands and hugged his mother tightly.
Shireen also hugged her children tightly. After such a long time, she really missed her two sons: "Frank! You are finally back! You are back!"
When the two separated, Shireen noticed Frank's empty sleeve. Although she was sad, she still kept nodding: "It's good to come back! It's a good thing to come back! Everything is over, everything is over. My poor child!"
"I know, don't worry about me, Mom." Frank couldn't stop crying. For him, this was all too much of a coincidence.
Even he himself didn't dare to think that he could get out of the prisoner of war camp and return to his home in Port Rewind: for him, the whole process seemed a bit magical.
First of all, he would like to thank the Tang Dynasty Empire for its willingness to provide home letter services for all prisoners whose homes are in Rewind Port. Without this good thing, he wouldn't even know if his mother and brother Marvin were alive.
Secondly, he would also like to thank an enthusiastic courier who reported to his superiors the matter of two prisoners of war writing letters to Shilin. Later, the matter of one mother and two children of prisoners of war was known to the Tang military.
Then they would also like to thank the Tang Empire for the series of appeasement actions that set an example for the elves: Marvin and Frank have become models and role models. Their treatment will give many elven prisoners of war hope, so the Tang Empire is willing to Provide some help to two POW brothers.
In the end, it was the contribution of Marvin, the younger brother: he agreed to a labor reform and replacement program. He was willing to work for the Tang Empire for free for five years in exchange for his brother's immediate freedom. He was a good brother, so Frank immediately received a pardon and a ticket back to Port Rewind.
The trains and cars going south are very busy, but the shipping traffic between Everwinter Port, Saint-Lo and Rewind Port has increased, and sometimes some transport capacity can be squeezed out. Transporting these prisoners of war and carrying some cargo is not difficult for a giant ship.
A series of coincidences and the efforts of many people finally made Frank stand in front of Shireen. Many prisoners of war have seen all this. Their internal newspapers reported the story of the Tang Empire releasing the first batch of prisoners of war. This also made all the prisoners of war completely relieved. They are now determined that as long as they work hard and cooperate with the arrangements of the Datang Empire , they will be able to go home safely sooner or later.
"Marvin has paid so much for me." Frank told Shireen the reason why he came back: "I don't know how to thank him... As I am now, I may not be able to repay him in my life."
"He is your brother, Frank. He knows what he is doing." Shireen was proud of her little son: "Don't be discouraged. Your brother has brought you back, so you must live well and do well for him. 's alive."
"I will live well, Mom." Frank forced a smile: "I have already died once, and frankly... I don't have the courage to face death again."
