Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The afterglow of the window is darkened with golden light. Klein looks at Melissa's eyes can't find any words for a while, because the prepared lines can't be used.
He coughed twice and twitched his brain:
"Melissa, this is not a waste of salary. In the future, Benson and my colleagues will be guests. could it be that entertains them in such a place? In the future, I will be married to Benson and have a wife. Will could it be that still have a bed?"
"Don't you have a fiancee yet? You can wait and save more money," Melissa said logically.
"No, Melissa, this is the rule of the society." Klein is quite a headache, and can only be put on the road. "Since the weekly salary of 3 pounds, there must be a decent match to the weekly salary of 3 pounds."
Honestly, he once squeezed a shared house, he is no stranger to the current living conditions and is completely adapted, but it is because of this experience that he understands the inconvenience of the similar environment for girls, and he The goal is to become Extraordinary, study mysticism, and find the "way" to go home. In the future, it is inevitable to get some magical ceremonies at home. The apartment is full of people and prone to problems.
See Melissa and want to say it again, Klein quickly added:
“Relax, I did n’t consider a single-family house, I plan to look at the townhouse. In short, I have to have my own bathroom, and I also like the bread, Thengen cake and lemon cake of Mrs. Slim, we can first consider Close to Iron Cross Street and Narcissus Flower Street. "
Melissa lips slightly pursed, silent for a while, slowly nodded.
"And, I did n’t rush to move, I had to wait for Benson to come back." Klein smiled and said, "Otherwise, when he opened the door, he would be shocked and surprised and say, what about my family? My sister? What about my home? Is this my home? Am I in the wrong place? Goddess, tell me this is a dream, how can I get out a few days, I don't even have a family! "
He imitated the tone of Benson and heard Melissa unconsciously bent his eyes, revealing a shallow dimple on his cheek.
"No, Mr. Frank will always wait at the door, let Benson hand over the apartment key, Benson can't go upstairs at all." The girl hurt the miserable landlord.
In Moretti family, everyone loves the protagonist of the landlord Mister Frank as a joke. This atmosphere is brought by the big brother Benson.
"Yes, he will not change the lock for the tenant in the back." Klein smiled and pointed to the door. He said humorously, "Ms. Melissa, go to Silver Crown Restaurant to celebrate together?"
Melissa sighed slightly:
"Klein, do you know Selina? My classmate, my good friend."
Selina? A girl with long red hair and dark brown pupils suddenly appeared in Klein's's mind. Her parents were all believers of Goddess of the Night. She was blessed with the name of Saint Selina. She is not yet sixteen years old, half a year younger than her sister Melissa Happy, cheerful and outgoing girl.
"Uh." Klein nodded and said to remember Selina Wood.
"Her brother Chris is a Solicitor, and currently has a weekly salary of nearly 3 pounds. His fiancee works part-time as a typist." Melissa described the situation first, and then said, "They have been engaged for more than four years. Have a stable and decent life, and still save money to this day, have n’t stepped into the church, and plan to wait at least another year. According to Selina, people who are similar to her brother are like this. , You have to prepare in advance, save your money, and do n’t waste it. "
Just go to the restaurant for a meal. Is it necessary to have so much reason? Klein ca n’t help but cry or laugh, thought for a few seconds and said: "Melissa, I have a weekly salary of 3 pounds now, and it will increase every year in the future. Rise, you do n’t have to worry. ”
"but we have to save money to guard against accidents, for example, the security company suddenly went bankrupt. One of my classmates had to go to the pier to find some temporary work because of the bankruptcy of his father's company. The conditions at home suddenly deteriorated and he had to drop out." Melissa expression He persuaded his brother seriously.
...... Klein reached out and covered his face:
"That, that security company and the government, um, has a relationship with the government and will not go bankrupt casually."
"But the government is also unstable. After each election, if the parties change, most of the positions will be replaced and become a mess." Melissa perseveredly retorted.
...... Sister, you know so much ... Klein shook his head angrily and funny:
"Okay ..."
"Then I will stew the leftover ingredients from yesterday, you go to the street to buy a pan-fried meat fish, a piece of beef with black pepper sauce, a small pot of cream, and bring me a cup of ginger beer, in short, still Celebrate a little. "
This is the food that Iron Cross Street hawkers often peddle, a pan-fried meat fish 6 to 8 pence, a not too **** pepper sauce beef 5 pence, a cup ginger beer1 pence, a small pot of cream is about four-quarters You get 4 pence for a pound-just 1shilling3 pence for a pound of cream.
original self will be responsible for the purchase of food at home every holiday. It is not unfamiliar with the price. Klein mentally calculated a few seconds, and it was roughly 1shilling6 pence, so I directly extracted the two 1shilling notes.
"Uh." Melissa no longer objected to this, and put down the bag containing stationery and took the banknote.
Sister looks at took out a small jar filled with cream and a pot for other food, and walked briskly to the door. Klein thought for a while and yelled at her:
"Melissa, the remaining money buys some fruits."
Iron Cross Street Many hawkers will buy fruits of poor quality or stored for too long from other places, and people here are not angry about this because the price is very cheap, as long as the rotten place is removed after returning home It tastes delicious and can be regarded as cheap enjoyment.
After finishing this sentence, Klein quickly moved closer and took out the remaining bronze penny from his trouser pocket and put it in the palm of his sister.
"Ah?" Melissa brown pupils looked at his brother puzzled and dazed.
Klein took two steps back and smiled slightly:
"Remember to go to Mrs. Slim and reward yourself with a small piece of lemon cake."
"..." Melissa opened his mouth, blinked his eyes, and finally uttered only one word, "Okay."
She turned quickly, pulled out the door, and deng deng deng ran to the stairs.
…………
A river flows through, cypress trees and maple trees stand on both sides, and the air is so fresh that people feel drunk.
Klein, who came to solve the interview, carried a revolver, took a cane, and walked down public carriage, which paid 6p, and moved closer to the three-story masonry house covered in green, which is the Thengen University office building.
"It's worthy of being one of Ruen Kingdom's two most famous universities ..." Klein, who came here for the first time, sighed while walking.
Compared to here, the Khoy University across the river is simply shabby.
"Hah!" "Hah!"
The shouting approached, two boats are coming from the upstream of the Khoy river, and the wooden paddles were turned neatly and orderly.
This is a rowing sport that is popular in all Ruen Kingdom universities. Klein has to rely on scholarships to complete the university family. They have participated in the Khoy University rowing club with Welch and others, and they have made a good boat.
"It's really young ..." Klein stopped to look up and sighed.
In a week's time, this situation will no longer exist, because the school is going to be on summer vacation.
Following the tree-lined road, he walked to the gray three-story masonry house, entered the building smoothly through registration, and familiarly found the office where he received him last time.
Boom! Boom! Boom! He tapped the half-covered door with his fingers.
"Come in." A male voice came out of the door.
looks at Klein pushed in, and the middle-aged teacher in a white shirt and black tuxedo frowned slightly:
"there's still one more hour until the interview."
"Mr. Stone, do you remember me? A student of senior associate professor Cohen, Klein Moretti, you read my recommendation letter." Klein smiled and took off his hat.
Harvin Stone touched his black beard and wondered:
"Do you have anything? I am not responsible for the interview."
"That's it. I've found a job and I won't take part in the interview today." Klein told the truth.
"That's it ..." Harvin Stone understood it, stood up, and extended his right hand. "Congratulations, this is a polite young man. I will tell the professor and senior associate professors."
Klein shook hands with the other party, planning to say goodbye and leave, but behind him came a familiar voice:
"Moretti, have you found another job?"
Klein turned around and saw an old man with silver hair and a deep outline, but few wrinkles. His eye sockets were sunken, his eyes dark blue, and his black tuxedo was straight.
"Good morning, tutor, Mister Ards." He was busy saluting, "why are you here?"
This old man is a senior associate professor of Khoy University history department. His mentor, Mr. Quentin Cohen, beside Cohen, there is a middle-aged, bronze-skinned middle-aged man. He holds a newspaper in his hand. With top hat, black hair and brown eyes, the facial features are soft, the eyes show an indescribable vicissitudes, and there are black moles under the right ear that can be found by looking closely.
Klein recognizes him and often helps original self ’s Khoy University history department instructor Mister Ards. He likes to argue with his mentor Cohen senior associate professor. There are many conflicting views. However, in fact, the two are very good in personal contact, otherwise they will not like to join in a chat .
Cohen nodded, said calmly:
"Me and Ards came to an academic conference, what job did you find?"
"A security company that does the search, collection and protection of antiquities, they need professional consultants, 3 pounds per week." Klein repeated what was said to her sister yesterday, and then explained, "You know, I like to explore history, not to summarize it. "
Cohen lightly nodded and said:
"Everyone has their own choice, can you remember to inform them at Thengen University instead of being absent, I am very satisfied."
At this time, Ards interjected and asked:
"Klein, do you know what happened to Welch and Naya? I read the newspaper and said they were killed by burglars."
The case turned into robbery? And they went to the newspaper so soon? Klein froze for a moment, thinking about the language:
"I do n’t know the specific situation. Before Welch got a copy of notebook from fourth era Solomon Empire Antigonus family, I asked for an explanation. I started to go for a few days, and then I was busy looking for work. The police came back the other day. Found me. "
He deliberately revealed "Solomon Empire" and "Antigonus family" and wanted to see if the two history department teachers would know something.
"fourth era ..." Cohen frowned and whispered.
Bronze skin, pupils vicissitudes of Ards first stunned, and then took a deep breath, rubbed the temple with the left hand holding the newspaper:
"Antigonus ... feel familiar ... but I ca n’t remember where I have heard ..."
