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

In the evening, the cold winter sun shines on the last golden red of the South End's Fimilman Boulevard, and it does not bring a trace of warmth to the hurried pedestrians on the road.

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! Chapters 11 and 12 of "Holy Grail Wars" are all in this issue! Sword Knight Crusade Spear Knight! The battle between the two Heroic Spirits, let's come and take a look!"

Wearing a cheap coarse canvas hat and tightly wrapped around the cotton coat his sister had bought for him, Yin Fan Shaman waved the unsold Imperial Capital Newspaper in one hand, shouting loudly that the newspaper's editors had taken the time to teach them the words they were selling, trying to attract some passers-by to stop and buy them.

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

As the sun became more and more wester, a child ran from the other side of Femilman Avenue, his clothes were much thinner than Yin Fan's, which made him freeze out two snot, but he didn't care about wiping it, and asked Yin Fan when they met:

"Alright, Yin Fan, Fix called us back! How many newspapers have you sold today?"

This is Yin Fan's neighbor Wells Aven, the two of them have always been friends since childhood, and 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 biss to subsidize the family.

"Only thirteen."

Hearing his companion's question, Yin Fan took out his today's harvest from the canvas satchel and counted it carefully, and said with some sorrow.

"Thirteen copies? It's already pretty good, I've only sold eight copies, and after removing the 5 copper peeps given to Fix, I've only made three copper pebes today.

Fortunately, Sister Emily is a regular employee of the industrial park, and my father is just an ordinary hired laborer, so I'm afraid our family will have to eat vegetable and potato porridge tomorrow."

Wells' young face also had a sad look on his face.

Except for the area around the industrial park, the slums are definitely not very safe, and they used to have no problem walking through the slums to return to the Tongshou neighborhood, but now they are newsboys, and with a little money in hand, they can easily become a target for others.

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 protection of the gray organization and do not have to worry about being targeted by people in other neighborhoods, in return, they also need to pay a commission of 5 copper pebis every day.

Every time the "Imperial Capital Xunbao" has just been released, it is okay at the beginning of the decade, basically you can earn almost seventy or eighty copper biss in a day, and you can save a lot after turning it in, but by the end of the middle of the decade, it is more difficult to earn enough income.

"Well, otherwise you and your uncle and they would come to our house for dinner! My mom and I are very welcoming to your family, and if it weren't for the fact that you used to help our family, my sister would have been sent to the big house by that guy a long time ago!"

Facing his friend's sorrow, Yin Fan sighed and said.

Yin Fan's sister Emily Sharman was one of the first people to be recruited into the industrial park, and later passed the literacy class exam, obtained the literacy class completion certificate, and became a workshop leader in a textile factory.

As for the guy he was talking about, it was Yin Fan and Emily's father, a complete bastard.

"It's not necessary, your family is not easy, my father is now a hired laborer in a brick factory, and the family is well fed, speaking of which, did that bastard come to your house again last night?"

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

"Yes, I came back, but my mother hid the money my sister gave us well, and he only got a little copper, so it's nothing."

Yin Fan sighed and said, for his bastard father, he had no family affection at all.

If it weren't for Wells' father, Yin Fan didn't know how many times he would have been beaten by that guy since he was a child, and Yin Fan felt that Wells's father, Uncle Maren Aven, was more like his father than that guy.

"I think you're still too indulgent of that bastard, and according to me, Sister Emily is a regular employee of the industrial park, and she's the workshop leader.

A lot of people want to build a good relationship with your sister so that she can be a full-time employee the next time the factory recruits, and Emily's sister completely tells Fix to beat up that guy, so that he will be a lot more honest!"

Regarding the troubles of his little friend, Wells waved his fist indignantly and said.

"That doesn't seem good, my mother won't allow us to do this, forget it, let's go back first!"

While talking, the two children came to the meeting place set by Fix, and the seven children of the Copperhand Block gathered together, and after handing over their share of the day, they walked to the slum under the leadership of Fix, a new subordinate in the Copperhand Block.

After a long journey, Yin Fan finally returned home, his mother was already waiting for him in the faint candlelight, and the strange thing was that his sister, who was supposed to eat in the staff canteen in the industrial park, was actually at the table today.

"Mom, sister, look! I earned 8 copper pebis today!"

After a moment of surprise, Yin Fan closed the door that was a little leaky due to the aging of the mud plastered on the surface, twitched his nose that was red from the cold, and smiled and took out his harvest from the canvas satchel that the newsboys had must-have, and showed it to the two family members.

"Well, thank you for your hard work today! It's not cold outside, is it?"

Emily asked with concern when she saw the copper-colored copper-colored copper besses glowing in the faint candlelight.

"It's not cold, I have the coat that my sister bought me!"

Yin Fan smiled and raised his arm to show off his somewhat bloated coat, the cheesecloth of which Emily had purchased from the textile factory.

As an internal employee, she only spent 17 copper pesis for one silver mar to buy these cheesecloths, which can be described as cheap and affordable, and Yin Fan also felt warm when she wore them.

"It's good if it's not cold! It's easy to get sick in this kind of weather, and it's more important than some coppers. Yin Fan, you sit here first, I have something to say to you."

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

"I've worked hard for you, I'll go and bring you food!"

The mother on the side left space for the two siblings to talk, and went to the small kitchen next to her to serve dinner to the family by the briquette stove where the meal was being kept warm.

This briquette stove is a new product in the industrial park, and the internal staff only needs 2 silver mar to buy one, and it is very convenient to cook with this, so Yin Fan's sister Emily decisively bought one.

However, the need to ventilate it when using it is really unbearable in winter, and the Sharman family usually puts this briquette stove in the original small kitchen.

"What the hell is going on, sister?"

Yin Fan has always been very obedient to his sister's words, he came to the table and sat down, and asked with some curiosity.

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

Recently, a primary school was built in the industrial park, and I want you to go to school, which means that you don't have to sell newspapers every day, but go to school to learn those valuable knowledge.

Haven't you always envied my certificate of completion of a literacy class? If you complete five years of primary school, you will graduate with a better certificate of completion than mine.

According to our factory director, those who have a primary school diploma can be directly placed in the management position of the industrial park!

This is a rare opportunity and my salary is enough to support our family and the cost of your schooling.

I thought that instead of asking you to sell newspapers and earn some copper, I would go to school for five years and then come out and become a manager like me.

When the time comes, we

It is also possible for the siblings to receive a salary together and buy a house in the employee community in the future!"

Emily carefully explained her arrangements for her younger brother, she is now the leader of the textile factory workshop, and she has a salary of 40 silver mar in ten years, which can fully support the family's living needs and the cost of her brother's schooling, after all, the tuition and miscellaneous fees stipulated by the primary school affiliated to Xinglan Industrial Park are only 10 silver mar a year.

"Go to school?"

Yin Fan had never heard of this word 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.

However, after five years of school, you can go to the industrial park to be a manager, is there such a good thing?

Yin Fan, who is looking forward to becoming a regular employee of the industrial park every day and sharing some pressure for his family, is suddenly moved, but he still has something to ask his sister.

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

"It's not a lot, it seems that it only costs 10 silver mar a year for tuition and fees, don't worry! This little money sister can afford it!"

Emily explained with a shake of her head.

"That...... Can you get Wells to go to school with me too? I don't think if it weren't for the Wells family, our family wouldn't have been able to survive a long time ago......

Yin Fan asked with some hesitation.

Although ten silver mar is not a lot of money for his sister now, it was something that the Shaman family could not save in a year, so he was still a little worried that his sister would reject his proposal.

Wells was his friend since he was a child, and when they couldn't get by, they often got help from their family, otherwise his sister would have been sent to the big house by that father a long time ago.

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

"Wells? Rest assured! Even if you don't say it, I'll explain it to Uncle Mullen and Aunt Joan.

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

Hearing that her brother actually had someone to think about helping her, Emily nodded with some surprise and relief, and explained with a smile.

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

Yin Fan breathed a sigh of relief and replied firmly and wistfully.

"Okay, then when I talk to Uncle Maren about this tomorrow, I'll take you and Wells to Starblue Elementary School to sign up!"

You have to remember that you must study hard in school and ask questions if you don't understand.

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

Seeing her brother's motivated appearance, Emily nodded and happily admonished.
