my magic industry

Chapter 90 Going to School

Changes in the industrial park soon began to affect the lives of the people living in the slums.

In the evening, the cold winter sun swayed its last golden-red brilliance on Fimmelman Avenue in the South District, which could not bring any warmth to the hurried pedestrians on the road.

"Sell the newspaper! Sell the newspaper! Chapter 11 and Chapter 12 of "Holy Grail War" are all in this issue of the newspaper! The knight of the sword defeats the knight of the gun! The desperate battle between the two heroic spirits, come and take a look!"

Ivan Sharman was wearing a cheap coarse canvas hat, tightly wrapped around the coarse cotton coat his sister bought him, waving a copy of the unsold "Emperor Capital Xunbao" with one hand, and shouting loudly to the newspaper office The editors of the magazine took the time to teach them the selling language, hoping to attract some passers-by to stop and buy.

However, it was the middle of the first ten days, and everyone had already circulated the latest chapter of "Holy Grail War", and the news in the ten-day newspaper was no longer news, so no one was willing to stop buying for a long time.

As the sun became more and more westward, a child ran from the other side of Firmerman Avenue. His clothes were much thinner than Ivan's, which made him have two runny noses from the cold, but he couldn't care less After meeting, I asked Ivan:
"Well, Ivan, Fix is ​​calling us home! How many papers did you sell today?"

This is Ivan's neighbor, Wells Ivan. The two of them have been good friends since they were young. After the new gadget of newspapers appeared, the two of them also went to the street to sell newspapers together to earn a little copper bis subsidy. household.

"Only thirteen copies."

Hearing his companion's question, Ivan took out his harvest from the canvas satchel and counted it carefully, and said with some sadness.

"Thirteen copies? That's pretty good. I only sold eight copies. Excluding the five copper pess that I gave to Fix, I only earned three copper pess today.

You're okay, Sister Emily is a regular employee in the industrial park, and my father is just an ordinary employee. I'm afraid our family will have vegetable and potato porridge tomorrow. "

Wells also had a sad look on his young and immature face.

Except for the surrounding areas of the industrial park, the security in the slums is definitely not good. In the past, they had no problem passing through the slums and returning to the Tongshou District, but now they are newspaper boys, and with a little money, they can easily become other people strike target.

The local gray organization also took a fancy to this new source of income, and organized the children in the neighborhood to sell newspapers on the streets of the imperial capital every day.

Although these newsboys have the shelter of the gray organization in this way, they don't have to worry about being targeted by people from other blocks, but in return, they also need to pay 5 copper bis commissions every day.

Every time the "Emperor Capital Xunbao" was just released at the beginning of the ten-day period, it was fine. Basically, it could earn seventy or eighty copper pes in a day. Getting enough income is more difficult.

"Oh, otherwise, you and your uncle can come to our house for dinner together! My mother and I welcome your family very much. If you hadn't often supported our family in the past, my sister would have been sent to the big house by that guy. went!"

Facing his friend's sorrow, Ivan sighed and said.

Ivan’s older sister, Emily Sharman, was among the first to be recruited into the industrial park. Later, she passed the literacy class exam and received a certificate of completion from the literacy class. She became a workshop leader in a textile factory. It was not easy for Ivan's family to have some savings, and the food conditions have improved a lot.

As for the guy he was talking about, he was the father of Ivan and Emily, a complete jerk.

"It's not necessary. It's not easy for your family. My father is now a hired worker in a brick factory, and the whole family has enough to eat. Speaking of which, did that bastard come to your house again last night?"

Wells shook his head and refused, and mentioned the guy again.

"It's a trip back, but my mother hid the money my sister gave us well, and he only got a few copper pes, so it's nothing."

Ivan sighed and said that he had absolutely no affection for his father.

If it weren't for Wells' father, Ivan would have been beaten by that guy many times since he was a child. Compared with that guy, Ivan thinks that Wells' father, Uncle Marlon Ivan, is more like his father. dad.

"I think you are still too conniving with that bastard. According to me, Sister Emily is a regular employee of the industrial park, and she is also the workshop leader.

Many people want to establish a good relationship with your sister so that they can be a regular employee when the factory recruits workers next time. Sister Emily completely asked Fix to beat up that guy, so that he would be more honest. up! "

Regarding his little friend's troubles, Wells waved his fist angrily and said.

"This doesn't seem very good. My mother won't allow us to do this. Forget it, let's go back first!"

While chatting, the two children came to the meeting place fixed by Fix. The seven children from the Bronze Hands District gathered together. Lead the way to the slums.

After a long journey, Ivan finally returned home, and his mother was already waiting for him under the faint candlelight. It was strange that his sister, who was supposed to eat in the staff cafeteria in the industrial park, was also at the dining table today.

"Mom, sister, look! I earned 8 Copes today!"

After a moment of astonishment, Ivan closed the door that was slightly leaky due to the aging of the smeared mud, twitched his nose that was red from the cold, smiled and took out his harvest from the canvas satchels that newsboys must have, and told the two The family showed.

"Well, you worked hard today! Isn't it cold outside?"

Emily couldn't help showing a smile when she saw the copper-colored Copper Bess under the faint candlelight, and she asked with concern.

"It's not cold, there is a coat my sister bought for me!"

Ivan smiled and raised his arms to show off his bloated coat. The denim cloth of this coat was bought by Emily from a textile factory.

As an internal employee, she bought these coarse cotton cloths for only one silver mal and seventeen copper bis, which can be described as cheap and affordable, and Ivan felt warm when wearing them.

"It's good if it's not cold! It's easy to get sick in this kind of weather, and your body is more important than some copper peas. Ivan, you sit here first, I have something to say to you."

Emily patted the low stool beside her and said to her younger brother.

"Thank you for your hard work, I will serve you food!"

The mother on the side left space for the two siblings to talk, and went to the small kitchen on the side to serve today's dinner for the family by the briquette stove that was keeping the food warm.

This briquette stove is a new product in the industrial park. Internal employees only need 2 silver maars to buy one. It is very convenient to cook with this, so Ivan's sister Emily bought one decisively.

It's just that it must be ventilated when using it, which is really unbearable in winter. The Shaman family usually puts this briquette stove in the original small kitchen.

"What's the matter, sister?"

Ivan has always been very obedient to his sister's words. He came to sit at the table and asked curiously.

"It's a very important event for our family, Ivan, listen to me carefully!

Recently, a primary school has been built in the industrial park. I want you to go to school, which means that in the future, you will no longer have to sell newspapers every day, but go to school to learn those valuable knowledge.

Don't you always envy my literacy class certificate?If you complete five years of study in primary school, you will receive a primary school diploma when you graduate, which is better than my certificate of completion.

According to our factory director, those who have a primary school graduation certificate can be directly assigned to the management positions of the industrial park!

This is a rare opportunity, my salary is enough to support our family and your school expenses.

I think instead of asking you to sell newspapers and earn some copper bis, it is better to go to school for five years, and then come out and become a manager like me.

At that time, our siblings will receive wages together, and it is also possible to buy a house in the employee community in the future! "

Emily carefully explained her arrangement for her younger brother. As the team leader of the textile factory workshop, she has a salary of 40 silver mahrs in a ten-day period, which can fully support the family's living needs and the expenses of her younger brother's schooling. After all, the tuition and miscellaneous fees stipulated by the Xinglan Industrial Park Affiliated Primary School are only 10 silver Maars a year.

"go to school?"

Ivan had never heard of this vocabulary in his eight years of life, but based on the original meaning of the combined words and the meaning explained by his sister, he probably knew that he was going to a place similar to a literacy class to learn new knowledge.

But after five years of school, you can become a manager in an industrial park. Is there such a good thing?

Ivan, who was looking forward to becoming an official employee of the industrial park every day and sharing some of the pressure for his family, was moved, but he still had one thing to ask his sister.

"Sister, does it cost a lot to go to school?"

"It's not a lot. It seems that only 10 silver maars are needed for tuition and miscellaneous fees a year. Don't worry! My sister can afford this little money!"

Emily shook her head and explained.

"Then...can you let Wells go to school with me? I think if it wasn't for the Wells family, our family would have no way to live..."

Ivan asked hesitantly.

Although ten silver Maars are not considered a lot of money to his elder sister now, it was not enough for Shaman's family to save in a year, so he was still a little worried that his elder sister would deny his proposal.

Wells was his friend since he was a child. When they couldn't get along, they would often get help from their family. Otherwise, his sister would have been sent to a big house by that father.

Now that their family's life is much better, Ivan naturally thought of returning to the Wells family.

"Wells? Don't worry! Even if you don't tell me, I will explain it to Uncle Marlen and Aunt Joan.

It's a pity that the textile factory has no plans to recruit workers, otherwise I would have arranged for my mother and Aunt Joan to work in my workshop! "

Hearing that her younger brother was still thinking about those who helped her, Emily nodded in surprise and relief, and explained with a smile.

"Now that I'm relieved, I want to go to school!"

Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, and replied firmly and longingly.

"Okay, then I'll take you and Wells to Xinglan Elementary School to sign up after I talk about it with Uncle Marlon tomorrow!
You have to remember that you must study hard in school, and ask if you don't understand.

The theme of Xia Lin's New Leaf Chamber of Commerce is 'knowledge is wealth', how much you can learn determines how much money you can earn in the future! "

Seeing her younger brother's aggressive appearance, Emily nodded and happily advised.
