"Stinky girl, stinky girl!" several children jumped and screamed around an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.

The little girl lowered her head, her little hands full of marks of chilblains grasping the corners of her clothes, and walked forward without saying a word.

It wasn't until he reached the door of a commoner's yard that he stopped.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally mustered up the courage to gently tap the gate of the courtyard a few times.

"Who?" said a woman's voice in the courtyard.

"Auntie, I'm Cathy......" The little girl's voice was small.

"Who?" the woman in the courtyard did not hear clearly.

"Auntie, I'm Cathy, is Pedy away?" the little girl raised her voice.

"Oh, it's Cathy. ”

After a sound of footsteps, there was a "squeak" sound, and the middle-aged woman in the courtyard opened the courtyard door.

"Auntie, I'm looking for Pedi. ”

"Pei Di, I don't know where to run crazy, poor girl, her body still stinks, take it off and help you wash your clothes!"

"Don't bother, Auntie, it's good that he won't come back to him next time. The little girl said timidly.

"Come in, that crazy boy should come back for dinner in a while, I'll wash your clothes first, and you can eat here too!"

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but say something, and pulled the little girl into the yard.

Although it is spring, the weather is still a little cool. The middle-aged woman took out a few of her own clothes, asked the little girl Cathy to change them into, picked up her dirty clothes, walked to the yard, scooped a basin of water from her own tank, and washed it "bang-la-la-la".

Cathy was a little fat in the middle-aged woman's clothes, but she didn't care, and stood aside and looked at the middle-aged woman with a kind of admiration.

"Girl, how is your father now?" the middle-aged woman chatted with the little girl while washing her clothes.

Hearing the middle-aged woman ask about her Abba, Cathy had a happy look on her face.

"Very good, he's working in that garbage factory outside the city, and the food he brought back is delicious!"

"Well, he's good there, but it stinks so much, and it makes you stink too. The middle-aged woman looked disgusted.

"It's okay, I don't feel like it stinks when I get used to it. ”

"Alas, your Abba is a man who takes you, but it's hard for you......" The middle-aged woman looked at Cathy's delicate little face, shook her head, and then continued to wash her clothes.

"Auntie, I'm not bitter! Now I have clothes, food, and a place to live, which is already very good!"

"It's okay, smell what you smell!"

"Hee-hee, I can't smell it. ”

"If you have dirty clothes in the future, bring them to your aunt and wash them, and your father will let him take care of himself!"

"No, I heard Abba say that their factory is going to build some running water, and there will be water to wash clothes in the future. ”

"Tap water, self-brought water? What is that?"

"I don't know, Abba said it's amazing, just twist it lightly, and the water will come out on its own. ”

"It must be a good thing made by His Majesty the Emperor again, our His Majesty the Emperor is really amazing.

First the shelter, then the toilets, even the roads were built flat and hard, and now there is running water, I don't know when we will have it in the city. ”

Hearing the word "refuge", the little girl Cathy's eyes were a little red.

She nodded heavily and said, "His Majesty the Emperor is a good person, and I will always remember His Majesty's kindness." ”

"Not really, if His Majesty the Emperor hadn't built a shelter at that time, I'm afraid you and your Abba would have frozen to death!"

"Auntie......"

"Don't say it, that crazy boy is hungry for the porridge there, so he brought your father and daughter there, and you don't have to be so grateful to him all the time. ”

"But ......"

While chatting, there was another "squeak" at the courtyard door, and a middle-aged man came in.

"Mara, is the meal ready, I'm back!"

"It's done, it's done, I'll eat when I come back, don't you see anyone at home?"

"Yo, it's Cathy here, and she's looking for Pedy again?"

"Well, Uncle Barlow, I'm here to find Pedy. The little girl looked at the tall Barlow, a little shy.

"Hehe, he'll be back soon, I saw him just now. Barlow didn't stop in the yard and walked straight into the house.

Sure enough, before Cathy could speak, a little boy ran in from the courtyard door that had not yet been closed.

"Pedy!" Cathy's eyes lit up at the sight of the little boy.

"Oh, it's Sister Cathy!

The little boy stopped and greeted Cathy in a serious manner.

"Sister Cathy, are you here for me?"

"Well, I'm here for you!" Cathy looked at Pedi with a gentle smile on her face.

"Come and play with me, let's play together after dinner!"

"No, I'm here to tell you something......"

"Oh, what's the matter?" Pedy was a little disappointed to hear that Cathy hadn't come to play with him.

"My Abba heard from their vice-president, His Majesty, that His Majesty the Emperor wants to build a school where the children of the commoners can go to school, and then I will ......"

"Going to school?" Not only Peidi, but even the middle-aged woman Mara felt a little incredible.

Going to school, receiving education, that is the power that only the children of the nobility can enjoy, when will it be the turn of the commoners to go to school?

"Really?" said Mara, stopping her hands from doing the laundry.

"Well, what Abba said, it should be right!"

"Barlow! Barlow! Get out!"

As soon as Barlow had just entered the house and taken off his coat, he heard his wife calling out to him.

"What's the matter? ”

"Cathy said that His Majesty the Emperor has built a school for the children of the commoners to go to school!"

"Really, fake, civilians can go to school?"

"Really, Uncle Barlow, it's on the campus of Oskaia University. ”

"Ah, so far away......"

The Peidi family lives near the south gate of the imperial capital, and the University of Oskaia is located in the east of the imperial capital, and if you take a horse-drawn carriage, it will take about three hours based on the current road, and if you walk, I am afraid it will take at least ten hours to go at a time.

It's not that the Peidi family can't afford to sit in the carriage, but two carriages a day is beyond their financial strength.

"It's okay!" said the vice dean, the school has a dormitory, and the children who are far away can live in the dormitory. ”

"Isn't it a long time since you can go home once?"

Barlow and Mara looked at their son with great reluctance.

"That's going to take a lot of gold. "Barlow period Ai Ai is authentic.

"Not only don't you use gold, but even food is free!"

"Ah, free food for the children, how is that possible!" Barlow was very unconvinced that such a good thing could happen.

The little girl Cathy was a little anxious when she saw that Barlow didn't believe it, and was about to explain, but she heard Peddy shouting: "Abba, how is it impossible, didn't you listen to Sister Cathy? It's His Majesty the Emperor!

"Your Majesty the Emperor......" Barlow just reacted.

Since it was a school built by His Majesty the Emperor, then what Cathy said could really be true.

"His Majesty the Emperor is really a great man! It is a ...... to be able to let the children of the common people go to school and take care of food and shelter."

Mara had never been to school, she didn't even know a word, and she couldn't think of any words other than the words "great man" to express her evaluation of His Majesty the Emperor.

Pei Di's little face was serious, and he said solemnly like never before: "Abba, Mom, I want to go to His Majesty's school with Sister Cathy!"

"But you won't see Mom and your Aba for a long time......" Mara was still very reluctant.

"I'm going to study, not to go to jail, you can go see me when you miss me!"

"That'......" Mara turned to look at Barlow.

Barlow is the head of the family, and only he can decide whether Pedi will be able to go to school or not.

Pei Di also looked at his father with a look of hope, hoping that he would agree.

As the head of the family, Barlow is also very entangled, his son is his treasure, and he is even more reluctant than Mara when he thinks that he will be separated from his son for a long time.

But seeing that his son's expression was so firm, he wanted to agree to his son's request.

I struggled for a while, and finally said, "Okay, you can go if you want, it's good to be able to read some words." ”

"Yay, Abba, you're so nice! I can go to school!!"
