Chapter 3144 Windfall of War
Looking at his daughter who looked like a beautiful woman, Hayes was extremely happy in his heart and kissed her little face.
"Grow up and become beautiful, my little princess."
Finally, Fitz, four years old, was hiding behind his mother Andina, holding on to his mother's skirt with his little hands. He looked at the stranger timidly.
He was still an infant when Hayes went to war, but now he is a boy who can walk quickly.
Kneeling down, Hayes smiled and clapped his hands.
"Isn't this the first time you can see daddy's face clearly, little Fitz."
Andina also bent down and gently comforted her son.
“Don’t be afraid, call me daddy.”
After hesitating for a while, the boy said in a babyish voice.
"Dad."
Hayes reached out and hugged the other person, gently touching his head.
"I'm sorry, dad has been away from home for the past few years when you were sensible, and he won't be here anymore."
After saying that, he turned to look at the two wives, seeing each other again after a long absence. All had tears in their eyes.
“After all these years of hard work, I have always missed you. I have been thinking about you in my dreams. I am afraid that I will never see you again.”
Andina wiped the corners of her eyes and said softly:
"It's good to come back. Coming back is more important than anything else."
At this time, the off-road vehicle also drove outside the door, and Hayes immediately Jean opened the carriage and began to take out the gifts and various things inside. Some of them were to be distributed to other people in the brigade, so he distributed them directly on the spot.
Afterwards, Hayes was not idle. He went with Feiton and the others to visit the families of the company's fallen soldiers. Although there was an official pension, Hayes personally paid a sum of money to express his feelings.
In the evening, in the square, tables were filled with local delicacies, fruits and vegetables, and Hayes had to perform one last "performance".
He told some stories about the battlefield, followed the officer corps around in parades, gave speeches, and even used the small video camera in the car to show everyone some video records on the battlefield - when they saw the terrifying tyrant and the Many people cried out in horror as the executioners rampaged across the battlefield.
Finally, after a busy night, Hayes had the opportunity to truly reunite with his family.
After returning home, he took out a lot of toys, clothes, shoes and hats for the children from several large boxes, as well as some electronic products, such as locators, physical sign monitors, etc., and then gave them to The two wives' high-end cosmetics, various clothes, shoes and hats, and jewelry that looked very expensive.
Jalina and Andina were dumbfounded when they saw those sparkling earrings, pendants, bracelets and other objects embedded with huge gems and rare materials.
“Are these expensive?”
Hearing what Jalina said, Hayes on the sofa smiled and gently patted Fitz's little buttocks, which was crawling around on his legs. The little guy was holding a singing stuffed ball in his hand. But within two hours it was covered with his saliva.
"Expensive, of course it is expensive. How can I give you a bargain?"
"That's such a waste, we don't really need this." Hayes smiled, He gently placed the little guy on the sofa cushions aside, bent down and opened a thick black cloth bag, and took out a golden statue from it. The image was of an old nun with her head lowered, and there was a halo behind her. The characters are lifelike, but the key point is that they are inlaid with 19 dazzling gems. These gems change from emerald green to bright blue or light yellow in the eyes of people around them as the angle of Hayes's hand changes.
“I asked someone to specially evaluate it. This thing should be a statue of a saint from four thousand years ago. The nineteen gems on it are extremely expensive Wicca gemstones. This kind of gemstone is almost The state religion has a monopoly and is only used on precious statues of saints.”
As soon as Hayes said this, both of them took a breath. Although they had never seen any big money, they could still imagine its value.
“This can’t be you”
“Ha, don’t worry, it has been registered at the division headquarters. This is a legal item. It was taken from an old landowner’s house during the mission. The family members were all killed by the gene stealers, and they are unclaimed. I also informed the instructor that they can be taken."
"Wow"
Taking the precious statue with both hands, Andina almost missed it. She could only put it on the sofa and gently rub its surface engraved with scriptures, feeling the heavy weight, and then handed it to Jalina.
"Not only that, I picked up a lot of things in this battle. Some of these jewelry are trophies, and some of them were bought. The money was obtained after selling some of the things."
As he said that, Hayes also took out some money. Come up with a delicate lighter made of crystal.
“Well, someone offered me 30,000 yuan and I didn’t even sell it. The local market was in chaos at that time. If I sold it, it would definitely be at a low price. Just like that idiot Xiao Feiton, he finally got some loot and sold it all at a low price. A profiteer, I bought jewelry at a high price as a gift again. Forget it, I asked someone to make an estimate when I came back this time. The result is that it starts at least 100,000. This thing is made of rare crystals strictly controlled by the Mechanicus. There is no way to find it on the market. No materials.”
Then Hayes took out all the precious trophies in the box.
“I’m lucky this time, I often receive rescue missions, and they are usually sent to rescue local rich, powerful people and landowners. Sometimes they leave in a hurry and don’t have time to take many valuables with them.”< br>
Finally, Hayes pulled out two cards.
"The money is all here, it seems to be five or six hundred thousand. I didn't calculate it carefully. I sold some that were not worth keeping."
"Oh my god. "
Looking at all this, Andina couldn't help but sigh:
"So many valuable things are just missed by you. Is this large parish so prosperous and wealthy?"< br>
Hayes shook his head.
“What is prosperity and wealth? The people I see most are poor people, beggars, and slaves.”
“Then what?”
“Otherwise, where would they come from so many luxurious possessions? In my opinion, the only difference between those priests and gentlemen and Tyranids is that they eat people more slowly, while Tyranids eat people faster."
"This, I heard, is not a reason for the Archdiocese. Is it an area run by priests? It stands to reason that they should be better than those noble governors of nest cities."
"Ha, well, let me tell you a story. On a planet that had not yet been invaded by the Tyranids, the regiment was still responsible for patrolling. However, it is said that due to the influence of the Tyranids, the climate of the planet became very bad. There was an extreme high temperature and drought, and then there was a heavy rain that had never happened in a century. The world was originally dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, and most of the people were farmers. Due to such a disturbance, there was no harvest for the whole year. However, in order to cope with the war, the people above The jihad tax was collected for three years in advance, and it will be collected for the fourth year. Suddenly, victims were everywhere who were making trouble because of lack of food, so we could only run around."
Hayes. As he spoke eloquently, the two wives listened attentively, but the children were still having fun playing with the various new toys in their hands.
