Chapter 116: Family Happiness
Konstantin nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, listen to me, it won't hurt you anyway, how long will you go through in the future, you will naturally agree with these words." ”
Konstantin didn't think that his son didn't hold back his farts at all, and was ready to get involved in other people's family affairs.
……
Soon, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the school district, and yes, this area is now known as the school district.
This year, Ernst has expanded the campus to accommodate orphans from Paraguay and the German region.
At first, Ernst did not expect that there would be so many orphans in Germany, and now the Heixingen School is a veritable orphanage.
The total number of orphans in Heixingen is close to 20,000, and all of them are accepted by several schools built by the royal family of Heixingen.
You must know that there are tens of thousands of residents in Heixingen, and now Heixingen has become the largest orphanage in Germany.
And with the increase in the number of orphans in Paraguay, Ernst also set up a single school to teach German to these Paraguayan children.
As for the Far Eastern orphans at the Heixingen Military Academy, they were actually quite old, and many of them were teenagers, mainly for the purpose of training translators in the colonies.
Of course, there are also younger ones, but they do not go to military academies, but ordinary German schools.
At present, there are four schools under construction and expansion in Heixingen, and ten buildings have been completed, all of which are teaching buildings and dormitories.
Among them, the Heixingen Military Academy is mainly for those who are older for their studies, and the other three schools are for younger orphans to study.
As an accelerated school, the Heixingen Military Academy served as a secondary school, and many of the studies were not particularly excellent, and after graduation, they were sent directly to the East African colonies.
Fortunately, the previous editions were all sixteen or seventeen-year-old children, and the children in this era seemed to be more mature, so they were not abrupt in East Africa and society.
Today, the students of the Hexingen Military Academy are getting younger and younger, and many of them are now only fifteen or sixteen years old.
The younger the age, the better the thinking is reformed, but the cost of training is also relatively high, at least fifteen or sixteen years old before they can graduate, so that some orphans are only five or six years old at present, and Ernst has to raise them for at least ten years.
For the younger, Ernst arranged for adoption by families in the East African colonies, which were subsidized and supervised by the East African colonial government.
……
"Come on, little one, call grandpa, grandpa will give you candy, okay?"
"Hello grandpa!"
"Alas, what a good one!" Konstantin happily held a small doll, peeled off the candy wrapper, and handed it to the little doll's mouth.
The children around him showed envious eyes, but there was a trace of no worry hidden in their eyes, and some secretly swallowed their saliva, and Konstantin's heart softened instantly.
"Kids! As long as you all call Grandpa, I'll give you all this candy, okay? ”
However, no one dared to step forward.
Konstantin knew that these children were afraid of strangers, so he pulled a little doll and asked kindly: "Do you like candy?" Children. ”
The little doll nodded timidly.
"Since you like to eat candy, what about you, call me grandpa, and I'll give you this candy, okay?"
"Okay." The little doll said in a milky voice: "Grandpa." ”
"Alas, what a good one!" So the little baby also got candy. Konstantin said to the children around him: "You see, grandpa counts when he speaks, as long as you call grandpa, grandpa will give you these candies." ”
"Grandpa, grandpa......" The children, who had already been attracted by candy, couldn't resist the temptation and spoke one after another.
Konstantin happily gave candy to the children.
This is the lower class of Heixingen School, and the class is full of five or six-year-old dolls.
"Ernst, stop standing silly and be amused, come and give me a hand." Konstantin said to Ernst.
"Yes, father!" Ernst gave a funny military salute and began to give candy to the children.
……
Heshingen Military Academy.
"Hello Headmaster!"
Heixingen Military Academy, as a military academy, the age of the students is definitely not young, around fifteen or sixteen years old.
Naturally, I can't do this to these students the way I did with children.
"Well, hello students! First of all! I wish you all a Merry Christmas, I didn't bring any expensive gifts today, I just prepared some sugar, squad leader! You send it to everyone. ”
"Thank you, Headmaster!" Everyone said that politeness is a compulsory course at the Heixingen Military Academy, and that it is necessary to thank others for accepting gifts.
"Hmm." Ernst nodded in satisfaction and exited the classroom to move on to the next class.
In fact, Ernst is only a year or two older than these children, but with the blessing of his identity, Ernst still looks very majestic.
At the beginning, Ernst taught the first batch of Heichengen students, and he was not even as old as some of them, but in terms of temperament, Ernst, who had two lifetimes of experience and had received an aristocratic education, looked like an adult in his twenties and thirties in his previous life.
……
After the gifts, it was already dark, and Konstantin and Ernst were going back.
The carriage rolled on the stone road, and Konstantin said to Ernst: "See, these lovely children, it reminds me of when you were a child, you were also such a small one, jumping up and down every day, like a little monkey, at that time I was still worried about being so frizzy, whether the future Heixingen royal family handed over to you will be reduced, as a result, slowly you are already a little adult, calm personality, bold thinking, now it seems that my worries are superfluous." ”
"Father, don't worry, the interests of the family come first, this is what I abide by all the time, and the future of the Heixingen royal family must be bright." Ernst said to Prince Konstantin.
"This, I also know, but you kid has to fight for breath, and Kalimna will give me a few big fat grandchildren in the future, only if people are prosperous, the inheritance of the family can be prosperous, this is the lesson of the Heixingen family, I hope that in your generation do not follow the old road, you see that no more prominent family in Europe, there is no successor, and it is not the same as disappearing in history." Konstantin admonished solemnly.
"I also understand this truth, father, you can rest assured." Ernst replied earnestly.
Seeing that Ernst was not perfunctory, Konstantin nodded with satisfaction, and Konstantin actually found it incredible at times.
Ernst's thinking is sometimes not at all like that of a young man, but as old-fashioned and traditional as himself, but not like this when he was young! That is, people only slowly stabilized after middle age.
Ernst was different, although he also went to communicate with friends and peers, but he was always strict and self-disciplined, and he was very ambitious.
Of course, many people of Ernst's age mostly mingled in the barracks, and naturally they were disciplined in the barracks, but when they came to society, they were exposed, and when it came to the holidays, they could see the wine pipes and young soldiers in the dance halls.
