Chapter 646: Enrollment
The war came so suddenly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The long-term peace has been enjoyable and numb people's hearts, so much so that when the Bauhinia Federation suddenly declares war, the border defense line is almost immediately broken, and the powerful air defense network firepower is easily captured without firing a single shot, causing the armored airship to drive straight in, bringing a deep shock to the kingdom.
Of course, it also includes the city where Wu Ming is located.
His first feeling for the arrival of war is hatred, after all, in the troubled times, the survival rate of a three-year-old baby is too difficult to guarantee, and the second feeling is helplessness.
For people like Wu Ming, war may be an opportunity, but this war came too early! He couldn't do anything at all, and he had to pin his safety on the Stirlings, which was really unbearable for him, who was used to being in control.
Although the armored airship did not drop cruise bombs in the end, which proved to be a false alarm, the war did break out, and the impact on the Stirling family was also huge.
First of all, the first point is that Jaime is unemployed.
He was a very successful salesman, and every year he could support a large family with a commission point for business, and buy cars and apartments, but unfortunately, their company produced goods that were biased towards luxury, and in wartime, material control, plus everything served the war, business plummeted, the company went bankrupt, and he, a salesman, naturally had to be laid off.
To add insult to injury, although James made a lot of money before, most of it was thrown into the stock exchange and futures market to earn high profits.
Originally, there was no problem, but now, as soon as the war came, the stock collapsed completely, almost all of them fell to the limit, and the original dividends were not only not expected, but even the proof of equity became waste paper - many of the companies that James bought had collapsed, and the stock was naturally worthless.
To add insult to injury, Jaime sold his car, and the family moved out of the villa and into a duplex.
Mrs. Stirling had to reluctantly sell a cupboard of expensive clothes, put on coarse cloth clothes, and began to make careful calculations for the family's livelihood.
Wu Ming watched all this silently, but now he is not much different from an ordinary baby, and he has no power to change his fate at all.
The only thing I can do is to make my food intake a little 'normal', and take care of my two younger siblings by the way to reduce the burden on the family.
With their family's current economic situation, they naturally couldn't afford to hire a nanny, so Jenna was fired.
Fortunately, Jaime is an optimist, and he has not been decadent, and a family and three children waiting to be fed have not given him the slightest time to be decadent.
He worked hard every day to deliver his resume, and perhaps because of his professional experience, he managed to sell himself and got a job as a post office sorter, sorting mail and parcels from all over the country, and although the salary was meager, it was a great victory in the company of many unemployed people.
On the day he was offered his job, James held his head high like a victorious general, and Mrs. Stirling added a slice of ham and a bottle of wine to dinner.
After a hard time, when Wu Ming was five years old, good news kept coming.
First of all, the two great powers ceased war, the Bauhinia Federation took the initiative to retreat, and it seems that it also signed a twenty-year non-aggression pact with the kingdom, and the long-lost peace arrived, and the whole country cheered.
With the recovery of the economy, the store has become more and more abundant, and there are many more choices at the table.
Night.
The gas lamps shone incandelibly, and at the dinner table, the Stirling family of five formed a circle.
Wu Ming held the soup spoon and was already able to eat independently, and his life was basically self-care, which did not worry the Stirlings much.
The two four-year-old siblings next to her, sitting in the stroller, were also crying, spilling vegetable soup from time to time, or tearing off the napkins, so that Mrs. Stirling had to come forward several times to correct them.
"There was a truce, the stock market began to recover, and although a few of those companies went bankrupt, one survived......"
Jaime was holding a large glass of beer, apparently talking, "I have a hunch that it will go up, dear, and everything will get better...... When I save some money, I'm going to go into business and get our lives back on track. ”
Mrs. Stirling was feeding Brandon a milkshake in one gulp, and the guy was always maliciously spilling a little bit and getting it all over his body.
Hearing this, she turned around and said in a firm tone: "Honey, you forgot one thing, little Steven is five years old, and we need to prepare for his studies!" ”
"Well, that's good!"
James nodded solemnly: "Knowledge can change fate, our three children will go to school in the future, we can't be like the Huade family next door, they all go to the factory when they grow up, you and I both know, that is a monster that eats people and does not spit out bones, ordinary male and female workers, thank God if they can live past the age of thirty......"
He looked at Wu Ming: "Steven, you have to remember that you will definitely become a decent person in high society in the future!" ”
"I see!"
Wu Ming replied obediently, like those ants, he got up early every day and worked greedily at night, and finally gave birth to a large number of children, most of them died, and the rest depended on luck to feed, and then repeated the life of the adult.
"Steven, you've always been very smart, but unfortunately, I could have sent you to the best aristocratic school......"
Jaime sighed helplessly: "Only by winning at the starting line from the beginning can you stand higher, see farther than others, and get more opportunities!" ”
"My dear...... Our little Steven is the best, even a normal school can succeed, right? ”
Mrs. Stirling touched Wu Ming's head.
"Well, I'm the best!"
Wu Ming drank the last mouthful of soup, and he also had expectations in his heart: "Now, you should be able to contact more things, right?" It's just this world, why haven't I been in contact with transcendent beings until now, is it that they are too deeply hidden? ”
In the blink of an eye, it was late at night.
In the silence, Brandon and Angelina quarreled a few times before falling asleep.
Now there are no previous conditions, and there is no basis for sleeping in separate rooms, and Angelina is asleep next to Wu Ming.
He opened his eyes, looked at the sleeping baby fat face of the other party next to him, and sighed silently.
Slowly getting up and taking a slumped posture, Wu Ming suddenly found out the situation in the spiritual sea, the original chaos was displaced, and a bright bloom.
After slowly recalling a trace of spiritual power and nourishing all parts of his body, Wu Ming found out about the development of all parts of his body, and couldn't help but nod his head with satisfaction: "After several years of warm cultivation, my current muscles, bones and internal organs are almost comparable to that of a teenager, and my strength is the same!" ”
At this point, you can begin to practice the skills of physical combat and martial arts.
"It's just...... This world can't produce internal breath, let alone practice internal strength, so do you still have to be like the Thor Continent, and explore the skills of training by yourself? ”
Wu Ming opened his eyes a little helplessly, and immediately saw a somewhat terrifying scene.
Angelina didn't know when she had woken up, and her eyes were wide, staring curiously at his brother.
"Hurry up and go to sleep!"
Anyway, the cultivation of spiritual power is in the sea of knowledge, and Angelina saw his eldest brother not sleeping in the middle of the night at most, getting up and making a very strange posture, even if he said it, it was not a big deal, and it might even be regarded as a dream.
Wu Ming rolled his eyes and pinched her face directly.
"Wow......"
Who knew that Angelina didn't appreciate it at all, and tore her throat and cried.
As soon as she cried, Brandon was woken up, and the sharper cry was extremely penetrating, spreading far outside.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”
Mrs. Stirling opened the door and saw Wu Ming rubbing his eyes: "My sister cried just now, and I woke up my brother too!" ”
Mrs. Stirling reluctantly stepped forward to reassure Angelina and Brandon, and there were a few curses outside the house - the sound insulation of the old apartment was not very good, and Wu Ming had heard some unbearable sounds a few times, and then he was woken up again at night, and the neighbors who had to work the morning shift tomorrow couldn't help but be angry together.
……
In front of a huge school.
Wu Ming, carrying a cloth bag and a peaked cap, looked like a little adult, and followed Jaime to the communication room.
"Hello, sir, who may I look for?"
A fat man with a rosacea inside stuck out his head and asked loudly.
"I'm looking for Mr. Kyle Wilfer, and I have an appointment to get my child into school."
"Okay, wait a minute!"
Wu Ming saw that the fat man picked up a telephone next to him, the old-fashioned one with a crank handle and a line that had to be connected, shook it violently, and immediately picked up the microphone and said a few words.
"Are you Mr. Stirling?"
"Exactly!"
"Please come in, Mr. Kyle is waiting for you in the middle of the office building, room 401 on the fourth floor!"
The fat man pulled open the railing and let Jaime and Wu Ming into the schoolyard.
There was a large playground where many students in uniform looked at the two of them with curious eyes, but no student dared to follow them to the office building.
"Mr. Stirling, it's a good thing!"
In a room on the fourth floor, Kyle greeted Jaime warmly as soon as he saw him, "And you, little sir!" ”
He smiled at Wu Ming, and then said to James: "Our school tuition is paid once a year, fifty yuan at a time, if you agree, you can go through the formalities now, and your boy can enroll today." ”
"Yes!"
At the moment of agreeing, Wu Ming obviously saw a trace of pain on Jaime's face, after all, this is the income of ordinary people for nearly half a year.
Knowledge and education in this world are never free.
