Chapter 240: Arrangements for the Rear of the New Semester
"Here, this is your school bag, and this is 20 US dollars of pocket money, I will give you 20 US dollars every week in the future, and you can buy whatever you want to eat."
Maya handed Skye a brand new pink bag and shoved her with a handful of change.
"Sister, thank you, I like this schoolbag very much!" Skye hugged the small schoolbag and said happily, but she didn't accept the $20 and shirked: "But I don't need this money, I can eat in the school cafeteria at noon, wasn't you like this back then?" ”
Maya just stuffed the money into her small school bag, pinched her cute baby fat face, and said with a smile: "It's not for you to buy food, in school, you will make some children, usually you can invite them to drink soda, eat donuts and the like, all of which require money." ”
"But isn't 20 dollars a lot?" Little Skye was still a little hesitant, although she had also experienced several families, in the past, those "parents" had never given her a steel hammer. Uh, including the unscrupulous Jennifer mother.
"Not much, I'm a big company now, and my monthly salary is tens of thousands of dollars! Come to think of it, didn't I give you a new laptop? It's worth $1,000, and those 20 dollars are really nothing. So, when you're in the 4th grade, I'll stop giving you pocket money and let you work on your own. Maya whispered comforting her.
Maya didn't lie, her salary now is really more than 30,000 US dollars. Yes, she has raised her salary, not if she doesn't do it, her secretary Julia has become a regular, and she has 5,000 US dollars a month, and Aunt May's family is still in Queens, and she drives to Manhattan to work early in the morning, isn't it also for the 5,000 US dollars in salary?
The employees under her are all paid 5,000 US dollars, and Maya wears many hats, so of course she has to raise her salary. Moreover, Doom has no objection to this, after all, just buying arcade game currency, the company earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.
"Okay, sister, thank you"
Little Skye finally took the money and fell into Maya's arms and cried quietly.
Maya sighed, didn't say anything, just stroked her hair gently.
Skye was a clever child, and for as long as he could remember, he had been an orphan and wandered in various families, and his mind was forced to mature rapidly. Her sensitive and delicate emotions can't be realized there, Jennifer's mother is dispensable to her, and Jack, the father, can't be close to her, and the only one in the family who is really good to her is the sister who is not much older than her.
She is very worried these days, for fear that she will be sent away again, but it is not Jennifer and her family who make her feel the warmth of parents. To be honest, even with Maya, her biological daughter, Jennifer doesn't have many opportunities to show her mother's love. Let's put it this way, for Maya, Jennifer, the mother, has been oscillating between 59 and 60 points.
From this, it can be seen that little Skye must be able to feel Jennifer's affection is a ghost!
Mainly, in this era of worse than rotten, this new parent and new small family are the least rotten. At least, the material conditions at home are not bad, the new father does not drink, does not take drugs, does not beat her, the new mother does not starve her and freeze her, does not ignore her, does not treat her coldly and violently, and the family does not discriminate against her Asian appearance. In particular, there is a big sister who is very good to her, not only shushing her, but also caring about her physical health. Even if her sister is busy with the company's affairs, she still finds time every day to help her with her homework and teach her computer programming.
Because of this, the sensible little Skye often contributes his own strength and does what he can, such as cleaning the room, for example, taking care of baby James.
The reason why she cried today was because she heard Maya say that she would arrange for her to work after the fourth grade. Well, Skye Jr. isn't a workaholic, she's happy to be able to work, but it means that she'll be able to stay in this home for at least four years.
And Maya obviously understood her thoughts, in fact, it was normal for Skye to have such worries. In the United States, there are very few families with children who actually raise an adopted orphan, especially children of obvious Asian descent like Skye. Don't forget, it's not decades later, it's just the end of the Cold War, it's still the 90s!
Well, Skye's worries are unfounded, she's now named Skye Hansen, and neither Jennifer nor Jack have the right to dispose of her. And the real head of this family, the real head of the house, is also President Maya.
When they arrived at the Crystal Palace base in the evening, Maya's Payne Vest took a set of high school textbooks to Liz and said: "Liz, you didn't graduate from elementary school, but now you are a teacher of dozens of children, in order not to mislead people's children, at least you must have a high level of Chinese!" ”
Liz didn't take Maya's book, but said eloquently: "It's enough for their children to reach my level, you see, John is not as good as me, Lorna is not as good as me, Sonia and Gus are not as good as me, as far as I know, among the younger generation of mutants, I am still outstanding, if not the top wise." Moreover, many of the older generation of combat police are also no, aren't they still very good? ”
Hearing this, Maya was speechless. In fact, although Liz is a fallacy, her words still have some truth. It's not that she's outstanding, it's not that she doesn't mix well. Rather, many people are inferior to her, it's true.
It's not that mutants are stupid, it's that the age at which mutants awaken is too clumsy, just at this age, and the students are just around the grade. But when they wake up, it's often accompanied by destruction, and the vast majority of them are unable to continue their education. Either he was kicked out of the house by his parents or chased by the police.
The old group of soldiers is better, after all, there is a Xavier genius school, with a professor as a teacher, at least a college graduate.
But the professor didn't know where to go all these years, and the school was closed, if it weren't for John's clear words, a group of soldiers recruited them and trained them to become a combat police reserve, and Maya really found two groups of powerful mutants in the 715 conflict, she even thought that the professor and Xavier Genius Academy would not have existed.
Alas, mutants are really inferior to one generation after another, will they rely on a group of illiterate people to lead small mutants in the future?
"I don't care if you mix well or not in the future, now, you are in the inspection period of our Xiao Organization, and illiterate and stupid people don't want to be members of the Xiao Organization. If you don't want to study, I can only kick you out, don't worry, if there is anything you can't do, you can come and ask me. "Maya is both intimidating and appeasing.
"This" Liz's face struggled, and she nodded dejectedly, took the textbook, and said, "Okay, don't drive me away, I'll just learn, but you will have to help me with tutoring in the future." ”
After getting rid of Liz, Maya found Bucky again.
"Here, this is your new ID."
Bucky took a look at it, then frowned and asked, "Retired disabled soldiers of the Gulf War, can this work?" Did you find Nick Fury? ”
Maya shook her head, "Of course you can't find S.H.I.E.L.D., it's 150,000 dollars to buy." Rest assured, Kelly Lambert really exists, and even when investigating the military's secret files, there is information about him: white, 36 years old, with a disabled left arm. Now, he took a large sum of money and smuggled it to Canada at my request. If you don't look closely, no one will find out. Tomorrow, you go to this place to apply for a security guard, and they will accept you. ”
Bucky looked at the note Maya had given him and read, "Minion Tech video game factory? ”
"Yes, it's an all-mechanical factory, with very few staff, and it's right in Brooklyn, so you can live in seclusion in your hometown from now on!" 166 Reading Network
