All Heavens Film and Television: Starting from Caring for the Widow of a Comrade-in-arms

"It's really blind. When I was elected mayor, I actually voted for him."

"Damn it, I don't know how much money he has been greedy for these years, but it's all our money."

"..."

The residents in the audience were eloquent, and every sentence was dirty, without repetition.

After the adjutant finished his statement, he stepped off the stage, followed by the award ceremony.

As soon as Russell stepped onto the stage, the residents below cheered.

"Mr. Corleone! Thank you for saving the town."

"You brought peace to the town!"

"The souls of Ottoby and the dentist may rest in peace."

"..."

Harms was also very happy to hear the voices of people all supporting Russell.

In front of everyone, he awarded Russell a bounty of 20 lire. The cash was like a hill, which brightened the eyes of the residents in the audience.

After the ceremony, Russell will be invited to speak.

As soon as he stood up, the residents fell silent.

"I am Russell Corleone, the security officer of Casticuto Town. It is my duty to suppress the bandits, and it is also my duty to rest the souls of the dentist couple and Ottoby who were killed by the bandits."

"So, there is nothing to say, all this is what I should do!"

The audience roared with applause.

The residents nodded slowly with serious faces.

It is said that Russell has a big structure, no wonder he can be recognized by the government as an Italian hero, such a hero doesn't care what his surname is.

It is an honor for the town to have him here.

Marlena also applauded vigorously in the corner, her eyes fixed on Russell, as if imprinting his current appearance in her heart.

After the ceremony, the bodies of the bandits and Salvaltore were transported to the Patrol Station, where they will be dealt with later.

The residents also dispersed silently, but instead of going home, they gathered in small groups, talking about Russell, and insulting the mayor.

What's more, they went to the mayor's house and wanted to take his wife to court, because the residents suspected that the mayor had embezzled the support funds for the town's construction!

But when they rushed there, the building was already empty.

Naturally, Russell can't do things anticlimactically, he must start and finish.

Beside the car, Rand said to him: "If there is such a good thing next time, please call me. I will give you my full support!"

"It's a word."

Rand waved the medal in his hand and said, "With this medal, I will be able to go further after a while. I may leave the town at that time, but I will apply to stay."

"No problem, may our friendship last forever."

"Friendship lasts forever! For misunderstandings, I dealt with them directly, which saved our friendship. Oh, why did I mention this. Mr. Corleone, remember to bring your dance partner to the dance tomorrow night!"

"Hope your partner is prettier than mine."

"My dance partner will be the most eye-catching in the audience!"

Rand said with great confidence.

--

After everyone left, Russell sat in the car to rest. Today he is the biggest beneficiary.

Originally, Harms also brought an unnamed commission document, but Russell did not sign it.

why?

Of course he didn't want to be the mayor of this crumbling country.

However, there are still a few years before the disintegration, and he can recommend someone to Harms as a puppet on the surface, but he has not yet found a suitable person.

The 20 lire bounty has been seen, and Russell can use it to buy a winery with great fanfare, and with the support of Harms, the cigarette factory can also be placed in the open.

"Dance partner? I have a good candidate."

Russell didn't go back to the sea view room to rest, but came to Malena's house.

When some residents met him on the road, they all took off their hats and saluted to show respect.

This is to honor his contribution to the town.

He parked the car at the door, got out of the car and took out a package of desserts from the car.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, Marlena pushed it open.

Not long after she got home, when she heard the sound of a car outside, she lay down in front of the window and took a look.

Sure enough, it was Mr. Corleone, so he was a little excited, and opened the door impatiently before he knocked on the door.

Although she seemed very unreserved, Marlena couldn't bear her heart anymore.

"Mr. Corleone!"

Russell stared at Marlena's face, smiled and said, "Hello, Marlena."

"Hello... come in!"

Russell stepped into the house and put the dessert on the cabinet.

Spotting a folded suit on the ironing board, he asked, "Is this my suit?"

"Yes, I...I've washed it, but I haven't ironed it yet."

"Thank you, Marlena. You don't have to do it yourself at all, you can give it to Sylvana and let her handle it."

Marina grabbed the hem of the clothes and said, "I want to hand over the complete suit to you."

"It's been so hard, Marlena."

"It's not hard, Mr. Corleone. I am very grateful that you can give me this job."

Russell smiled and said, "There is a better job, do you want to do it?"

Marlena blinked and asked curiously, "What kind of job is that?"

Chapter 29 I will dress up as you like

Due to the rush of time, Malena did not change her clothes when she got home, let alone remove the ironing table in time.

So there was an ironing table between the two of them, and Russell looked at her plain clothes, feeling more of a natural beauty, especially those eyes, which always couldn't dodge when looking at him, as if after being caught flustered.

"Did you go to the square today?"

Marlena nodded: "Yes, I heard that you wiped out the bandits who endangered the public order of the town, captured the mayor who colluded with the bandits, and saw that you were praised by Councilor Harms on stage."

"Suppressing bandits is what I should do. Councilor Harms invited me to the dance party tomorrow night, and I happen to be short of a dance partner, so I want to invite you to be my dance partner."

Marlena was startled when she heard the words, a trace of joy flashed across her flustered face, but she quickly hid it.

"I...Mr. Corleone, although I would like to be your dance partner at the ball, but I can't do it because my status is very bad, and everyone in the town knows that I am a widow..."

Seeing her saying this, Russell knew that she was struggling a lot.

In fact, Marlena and him were just about to break the window paper, and their feelings and attitudes of mutual appreciation were revealed in their daily relationship.

Besides, before Scodia died, he begged Russell to take good care of Marlena, and made it clear that he would wish them happiness in heaven.

To put it bluntly, Scodia and Russell can be regarded as life-and-death friendship, life-and-death brothers.In Sicily, after the death of an elder brother, it is not uncommon for a younger brother-in-law to marry a sister-in-law.

Russell bypassed the ironing table, grabbed Marlena's white hand instead, and looked into her eyes affectionately.

But Marlena didn't dare to look at him, her eyes kept dodging.

"Look at me, Marina!"

Marlena raised her head and stared at him blankly.

"You shouldn't feel inferior. Besides, you are so beautiful and kind. You shouldn't even say the word widow, because you haven't wronged anyone!"

"Now, please answer me if you would like to be my dance partner at the dance tomorrow night."

Marlena felt his breath, and the heat that hit her face made her heart burn.

"I, I will."

Russell's eyes were fixed on her, and he bent down and raised her hand to kiss it.

"I'm glad you can agree."

Marlena bit her red lips, her shiny pupils trembled, and said firmly, "I'm also very happy to be your dance partner."

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow night."

"Okay, Mr. Corleone, I will iron the suit and send it to you tomorrow."

Russell shook his head: "Don't bother, just change it when I come to pick you up tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he turned around to leave, and when he reached the door, he turned his head to look at Marlena again, and said, "I already expected the amazement of those people tomorrow night."

Marlena covered her mouth and smiled, "Okay, I will wear what you like."

After Russell left, she sat alone on the sofa, holding the suit in her arms, as if thinking of something sweet, the corners of her mouth raised.

She hung up the suit after ironing it, and covered it with a dust cloth, which was enough to show how much she valued Russell's new suit.

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually dissipated, and night came quietly.

After tasting the dessert that Russell sent, Malena lay on the bed, making a mess of the bed by tossing and turning.

She is very much looking forward to the dance party tomorrow night...

--

Russell didn't stay anywhere else, and went straight back to the sea view room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Olijatu, Philisto, and Niveno stand up and salute him.

He put down the cash box and sat at the main seat, while Sylvana brought black tea.

After moistening his throat, he opened his mouth to speak.

"Olijatu put down his work and give the money to Major Rand and Congressman Harms respectively tomorrow night. Philisto is going to find out who the family members of Hams and Rand are, and I will ask for them tomorrow night. Yes. After the matter is finished, you and Nivino will go to the owner of the winery and buy it for 35 lire, and I will let the residents of Sicily taste the good wine made locally.”

"Yes!"

Oliatu asked: "Godfather, do you want to do something about the money given to Major Rand and Congressman Harms?"

"No, they are all people of status, and they will naturally understand what I mean when they see the money."

"Yes, I will dare to send the money to them before the dance begins."

Next, the three got up and left, each busy.

Their ability is not bad, enough to finish what Russell told him, so he went to rest at ease.

The next day.

It is noon.

Philisto hurried over and put the information obtained from the investigation in front of Russell.

"The Godfather, Major Rand and the Hams family's information are all here, and none of them will be lost."

Russell carefully checked the family information of the two and found that Rand was married and had children. His wife was an orthodox down-and-out Roman nobleman. His father died at the hands of a hostile faction, and his mother lived in Palermo.

But Harms' family is much more complicated. He has three wives who gave birth to thirteen children. The oldest child is working as a battalion staff officer in the military camp at the port of Palermo.

At this time, Olijatu also came and reported to Russell the process of sending money, as well as the attitude of Rand and Harms at the time.

Rand was happy, thanking Russell for his generosity.

Although Hams received the money, he was very unhappy, obviously not giving Olivier a good face.

Russell frowned and nodded, and said to Philisto.

"When you and Nivino went to buy the winery, you stopped by the military camp at the port of Palermo, found Harms' eldest son, and told him...his father is suffering from a serious illness and will not live for a few days. Let him Come and see us one last time."

"Yes!"
