Kristia was happy when she listened, put her head on Daves' sturdy chest, and said softly: "Listen to you..."

"It's too late, go to sleep, go to sleep..." Daves patted him lightly, the two relaxed, and soon fell asleep...

………………………………

Davos got up early the next morning and went to the courtyard for morning exercises. When he returned to the main building with a sweat, the place was already lively.

Molina, the chief of the backyard, has instructed the slave girls to wake up the children one by one, let them dress and wash... Then I heard complaints and crying in the main building. Molina was unmoved, and when she encountered a child who was unwilling to get up, or even silly, the slave girl had no choice but to go straight into the house and forcibly pull him up. In the face of these princes and princesses of Dionia, she dared to do this because it was the power that Christia gave her.

Eight years ago, with the help of Christoya Davos River, Azuna married Aristilas, and of course had to leave Daves’ mansion. Molina, the slave girl from Cesali, was the child’s nurse at the time. Kristia found that she was decisive and even more daring than Azuna, so she let her take the position of Azuna. Facts It proves that Kristia has a vision. With the increase in children over the years, Molina's backyard is indeed well managed by Molina, which saves Kristia a lot of heart.

After Daves's simple rinse, he walked into the restaurant, and the family members were already sitting at the dining table.

"Where is Ivia?" Daves glanced around the hall and asked. Ivia is his third daughter, born to Agnes, who is only four years old this year.

"The crying lover refused to get up as usual. Aunt Molina went in to get her up. She also yelled. Mother Agnes went upstairs to call her." Briantes shouted. Reply. Briantes is the fourth son of Daves, born to Christia, who is six years old this year.

"Briantes, Ivia is your sister. She is in trouble. Instead of helping her, you say strange things on the side. This is wrong, you know!" Cynthia immediately criticized him .

"My sister is right, Briantes is annoying at this point." Eunice also complained. She was born during the Great Greek War and is now ten years old.

Briantes was criticized by his two sisters and felt a bit wronged, so he turned his eyes to his second brother Cloto Kataks for help.

Klotokatax turned his head to look at Cynthia: "Little Bout didn't mean to say bad things about Ivia, he has now realized that he was wrong."

"Well, my sister has forgiven you, but it depends on what you do in the future!" Cynthia said in a tone of treating the child.

Briantes nodded hurriedly.

The third brother Apox, who was opposite him, made a grimace at him, and suddenly made him smile. Apox was born at the end of the Great Greek War, and she is more than nine years old this year.

Daves and Christia have been sitting quietly, not interfering with the little conflict between the children. They have always been like this, because with Cynthia and Croto Kataks, they will eventually get a good solution. And Davers also hopes that the children will learn unity, friendship, tolerance and compromise in the process of resolving conflicts by themselves.

At this moment, Agnes led Avia into the living room.

Avia's big eyes are red, and there are still tears on her face, she is holding a puppet in one hand, and she is pulled forward by Agnes in the other.

"Baby Weiya, take your seat, we should have breakfast." Kristonia said softly.

Her words are very useful. Ivia let go of her mother's hand with a soft "um", and sat down in her place, placing the doll behind her, with Agnes beside her. sit down.

Ordinary Greeks usually eat. Because of the simplicity of eating, they don’t even have a table. They can settle the meal by holding the food outdoors, sitting on a wooden chair, or squatting or standing. Greek nobility and wealthy people ate much more formal. They had special dining rooms with their own tables for the number of people. There were slaves waiting to clean their hands at any time because they ate with their hands.

The dining situation in the Kingdom of Dionia is quite different, because after Daves invented the knife, fork, and spoon, people no longer need to eat with their hands. And although it is still a split meal system, many families have begun to eat at the same table. A very small number of families do not even separate men and women. It is said that this is due to Davers's influence.

As the number of family members increased, Daves asked a highly skilled carpenter to make a large round table and placed it in the center of the restaurant. The whole family sat around for a meal. This way, there is no distinction between closeness and estrangement, and it is very family. The lively atmosphere is also conducive to cultivating children's friendship with their families and paying attention to the family.

Daves sits facing the entrance of the restaurant, with Agnes on the right, Kristia on the left, and next to Kristia is the eldest daughter Cynthia, and then the second son Croto. Catax, then the second daughter Eunice, the third son Apox, the fourth son Briantes, and the third daughter Ivia, if you count the eldest son Adoris and Daves who are out on the move There are ten people in the family.

Molina, the head of the backyard, stood by. There were no other slaves in the restaurant. After all, even the youngest Molina was over four years old and was able to take care of herself. Dafus always hoped that the children could do their own things as much as possible, and be self-reliant, not relying on slaves to serve them, so as not to become a waste of inattentiveness and indifferent grain.

"Let’s have dinner." After Daves finished speaking, Cloto Catacs brought food and bowls with Molina’s help. Distributing food to each family member is a task that Daves arranged for the older children in the family, mainly to exercise their awareness of serving others. Today, it is the turn of Clauto Kataks.

After Croto Kataks distributed food to the three parents, he turned to Cynthia.

Daves' eyes widened now, but he saw that the eldest son quickly distributed Cynthia food.

"Thank you, Crowe!" Cynthia said with a smile.

Crotto Kataks walked towards Eunice calmly, nothing unusual.

Daves immediately cast a puzzled look at Kristia.

Of course Christia understands what her husband means. She didn't expect that she had just told Davers yesterday, and he will confirm it in such a public occasion today. It is simply...

Christoia winked him immediately, telling him not to be too obvious.

Davers pretended to be puzzled, opened his mouth, and assumed a puzzled posture.

Christoya had to squeeze her fist and tap on his thigh.

Daves exaggerated his teeth and cracked his mouth.

Christoya almost sprayed the oatmeal from her mouth onto the table.

Agnes noticed the strangeness between the two, and turned her head, casting a questioning look.

Davers stretched his right hand towards the base of her smooth and plump thigh.

Agnes's face blushed, and she pinched it with her finger immediately.

Davers again showed an expression of pain, which was fleeting.

Several children obviously did not notice the farce between their parents, and their attention was focused on the food.

"As before, add a spoonful of honey?" Croto Kataks asked his own sister with a smile.

Eunice hasn’t answered yet, Briantes exclaimed: "Does this still have to be asked, but she doesn’t like to drink cow and goat’s milk."

In this era, many citizens of Greek city-states have raised sheep, so goat milk is a very common food. In addition to making cheese, it is processed and consumed directly. The cattle are mainly used for utility and transportation, not for milk production. Daves once asked Bagul in the Lucania area to advocate for the people to use cows to produce milk, sell and eat it. Now it’s just beginning to be a little eye-catching. There are very few people who eat milk, and the output is not large. Of course, there is a small amount in the palace. Supply.

But today’s breakfast drink is goat’s milk. The smell of goat’s milk is big. Fortunately, in order for the children to grow taller and stronger, Daves has stipulated to drink a cup of goat every morning since they were young. Milk, so far the children have adapted, including the youngest Ivia, except Eunice.

"I don't like to drink, what's the matter!" Eunice glared at Briantes immediately.

Faced with the threat of her sister, Briantes was unwilling to admit defeat, and could not tell any reason, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "It's not right anyway!"

Eunice was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned her head and smiled at Croto Kataks: "Brother, give me two spoons of honey, thank you!"

Clotokatax finished dividing Eunice, and then put food for Apox.

Apox cheered: "Great, there are meat buns today!"

The Greeks used fermented flour to bake bread, while Daves asked the chef to wrap the minced beef and mutton with the fermented kneaded dough and steam it in an iron pan. The steamed meat was fragrant and fragrant. Overflowing, children especially boys like to eat.

Apox held the hot buns in both hands and took a big bite regardless of the hot mouth. Then he saw that Briantes next to him had divided the food, his eyes rolled, and he said to his brother: "Bout, let's play a game, okay? Whoever wins can bite the other's meat. One bite."

"Don't play!" Briantes warily used both hands to close the wooden tray containing the meat bag to his chest. Playing games, every time he loses to Apox, he is a little bit psychologically overshadowed.

Apox was thinking about how to persuade Briantes, so Eunice said disdainfully: "Bout, look at your timid appearance! Apo, here you are!" Eunice is satisfied with Apok. S made Briantes embarrassed and immediately broke the small half of the meat bun and handed it to him.

"Thank you second sister!" Apox immediately took it. Briantes glanced greedily, remembering something, and turned to Ivia and said, "Sister, you see this meat bag is too big, you If you can’t eat it alone, brother can help you eat some, okay?"
