Before Arthur could enter the main entrance of the police headquarters, a colleague who was also wearing a police uniform and holding a thick stack of documents stopped him.

When the other party saw Arthur's face, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head, looking like he had been pardoned.

"Thank goodness, Arthur, you're here! If you're late, I don't have what it takes to deal with tough juries and high-ranking magistrates. Hurry, it's too late, let's talk as we go. ”

Arthur was pushed forward by him, and said unconcernedly.

"Tony, you just lack some of the necessary self-confidence. The magistrate's court is not a scary thing, all you have to do is read the prosecution materials to everyone. It's not that you don't know how to read, so what's there to worry about? ”

Tony said discouragedly: "Arthur, you don't know, before I did this job, I was just a leather maker who repaired people's shoes, and if it weren't for the fact that many people in our place were almost poor and had no shoes to wear, I might not have come to London in my life."

Although I do know two words, I only know words. The highest education I received was Sunday school as a child, and the only book I read in my entirety was the Bible.

How can an inferior person like me compare with a high-achieving student like you who has received a serious university education? ”

Arthur comforted him with a kind voice, "Tony, you are already better than many pastors, at least you have read the Bible in its entirety." ”

"You're kidding me again." Tony asked, "By the way, let me ask you something, is the London University you went to expensive?" ”

Arthur raised an eyebrow: "You want to continue your education?" ”

Tony blushed and waved his hand repeatedly, "Where do I dare to have such a noble mind." ”

"Then why are you asking this?"

Tony held back for a long time before he finally made up his mind to tell the truth.

"That's probably the end of my life. But my child can't be like me, I've been beating in this mud pit for so many years, but it's not for him to suffer with me. He had to go to school, not just to study, but to go to university. Although he is not yet old, I have to help him prepare the money for his school, don't you think that's the truth? ”

When Arthur heard this, he patted Tony's shoulder appreciatively: "Tony, I didn't expect you to be such a responsible father." It would be nice if you could show that kind of courage when you were on duty. ”

When Tony heard this, his already red face was hot.

"Arthur, I really didn't mean to leave you alone in the alley last time. The group had hammers and knives, and it wouldn't be of much use for me to stay. The reason why I ran away was to go back and call for reinforcements for you. ”

"It's okay, I've forgiven you." Arthur patted the officer's knife on his waist: "At least since then, the boss has finally been willing to give us some decent weapons." ”

"But then again, Arthur, how did you get out that time?"

Arthur's afterglow glanced at Agares, who was sulking on the side, and said, "You don't care about it, I always have my own way." The next time you encounter this kind of thing, should you run or run, you are already a father, don't joke about your family. ”

Tony was ashamed of himself, and he sneered, "Actually, I'm still far from being a father, and I'm just planning to get married recently." I have already submitted the marriage application, and as long as it is approved, I can officially get married. ”

Arthur couldn't help but frown: "What the hell are they doing?" Why do police officers have to be approved to get married?

You can't drink alcohol, you can't grow beards, you can't gamble, you can't go into debt, you can't have any bad habits, you can't be disheveled, you can't behave in any unseemly way, and you can't even have mental illnesses in your family.

For individual police officers, they must have appropriate religious beliefs, have a certain level of literacy, and it is strictly forbidden to engage in business privately, and it is strictly forbidden to raise poultry or even pets.

In any public place, even during off-duty hours, we must consciously participate in and have the courage to maintain public order, and shoulder all responsibilities for maintaining social ethics.

What is even more ridiculous is that they are only willing to pay a price of twelve shillings a week for such a person.

That's it, now that they are starting to get married, why don't they just send us a wife? That way they can keep an eye on me twenty-four hours a day. ”

Tony heard Arthur pour bitter water, and echoed with empathy: "Come on, Arthur, your wife can't spy on you twenty-four hours." Have you forgotten? We have to be on duty for 14 hours a day, and if we are unlucky, we will have to be scolded by the top for another hour or two. As for your wife? It's nice that she can spy on you for an average of eight hours a day. ”

When Tony said this, he sighed helplessly: "But it's useless to complain about this." By the way, you haven't told me how much the University of London tuition is. ”

Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Twenty-three pounds and six shillings for an academic year." ”

"Hiss......" Tony gasped: "This is really expensive, I only earn more than 30 pounds a year, and I have to spend most of it for my children to go to school." Looks like I'm going to have to save up sooner. ”

"It's already very cheap, and you shouldn't have inquired about the tuition fees of the Big Four Bar Houses in London."

"How much do you charge there?"

Arthur held up three fingers at him: "This number, a year." ”

"Thirty pounds?" Tony frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "My salary should go up again, Nu may be able to squeeze him out if he works hard." Lawyer? Lawyer Tony Jr.? It's a good career, much better than his dad. ”

Just as Tony was in a reverie, Arthur poured cold water on him.

"Thirty pounds? Tony, what do you want? It's three hundred pounds. ”

When Tony heard the number, he only felt that the world was spinning: "They just took my life." I may not be able to save up for his tuition in my lifetime. ”

"It's nothing if you can't save it, that place is not for ordinary citizens like us. Most of the people who studied in it were the children of bankers, factory owners, or aristocrats. ”

"Don't they usually go to Oxford or Cambridge?"

"Well, that's true. But there's always someone who wants a change of taste, doesn't they? It's like if you're used to eating potatoes and occasionally want to get some bread to mix with grease. ”

"Just a change of taste, it costs an extra three hundred pounds a year?"

Tony looked at the gray sky and felt that his future was bleak.

"Arthur, why are you telling me this. If I didn't know, I might still feel that life was better. Now I don't feel like I'm going to be able to live anymore. Arthur, if you do this, you will go to hell. ”

"Hell?" Arthur showed a rare smile: "Tony, I'm sorry to say that, but you're already here. ”
