The new calendar year 1033 in another world, March.

It was a week ago that the visiting delegation from the Prosperity Church set off to return to China. The incident was published in both the Inadrian Weekly and the Adler Weekly, but it did not attract much attention from the locals... After all, the foreign visiting group is far from the lives of ordinary people. It's too far away, and most people still care more about being closer to themselves, and getting new things to talk about.

For example, the new radio drama "Kady's Farm" launched by Inadoli Radio.

Ms. Will, who went back to Innadali to visit relatives on the weekend, brought her own radio when she boarded the ship at the port of Du Tata City, and was going to listen to this cheerful story again when she was on the ship.

Tarantan’s newly launched handheld full-band radio has its own calendar, clock, calculator and emergency light function. It comes with a wired earphone, an antenna that can be stretched on the top, and two batteries that can last for one month. It is the most recent Rhinelander The "trendy play" that is ardently sought after...

The price of the radio itself is six silver coins, and a pair of replacement batteries only costs five copper coins. It is different from the price of a few or even a dozen gold coins for traditional radios. It is a product that ordinary people can afford even if they bite their teeth. Naturally, it will be very popular-people from the neighboring capital of the kingdom and the people of Odis will go to Innatrix or Adler to buy it, and people from farther places, such as the people from Takia, will buy it. Entrusting mercenaries or bounty associations to purchase, even with shipping costs, is more cost-effective than traditional radios.

...After all, this thing can be customized at any small electronics factory in Huaxia, and the wholesale price is less than 60 yuan. It is too expensive to sell...

When Ms. Will boarded the passenger ship and went into the cabin to look for a seat, she saw several well-dressed young and middle-aged men wearing earphones and exquisite and beautiful handheld radios on the table in front of them, proudly Show off for those who didn't snap up this hot item.

Ms. Will didn't have such a thick skin that wasn't afraid of attracting attention. She found her own seat and sat down, put her luggage away, hid the radio in her coat pocket, and covered the headphone cable with her collar, and then listened to the radio in peace. , while silently thinking about how to deal with the pile of things at home after returning home.

Becoming a clerk in the logistics department was unimaginable for Ms. Will a year ago. She had never studied seriously, let alone entered a formal college—her hometown is in the countryside of Newing Town, and her family There are a lot of brothers and sisters, not to mention that the elders can't afford the money for the children to study, even if they ask, it won't be her turn.

Ms. Will can read because she was sent by her parents to work as a maid in a private classroom in the town of Newing when she was just 14 years old.

When the children in the town sat in the classroom and listened to the class, she mopped the floor and cleaned the windows outside. writing.

When Ms. Will was 17 years old, the Gerry's house next to the private classroom suddenly became prosperous, and Mr. Gerry was going to work at the city hall in the city.

Mrs. Gerry dismissed her former servants and triumphantly announced that she wanted to find an educated housekeeper so as not to embarrass herself in the city. When Ms. Will heard the news, she hesitated for two days and worked up her courage to find a housekeeper herself. past.

Ms. Will, who has been studying for a few years, can stumble and read the advertising words on the milk advertising leaflets, and also knows how to write her own name. Seeing that she does not have high salary requirements, and her appearance is too precocious, she does not look like a girl at all. On, Mrs. Gerry hired her.

Ms. Will went to the city with Gerry's family. In the first few years, she had to do all the work by herself. Later, after Mr. Gerry entered the secretarial department and his annual salary increased, Mrs. Gerry hired a little maid again. Ms. Er was able to catch her breath a little.

Mrs. Gerry is the kind of person who can't see others running around with nothing to do. Even if she has free time, Ms. Will can't leave the Gerry's house at will; when Mrs. Gerry doesn't need to take her to parties, Ms. Will just I can spend my time reading Mr. Gerry's newspapers and books.

Also because of her long-term reading of newspapers, Ms. Will saw the precarious situation of the Gerry family earlier than Mrs. Gerry... During the days when Mr. Gerry became more and more irritable and anxious, Ms. Will It has been guessed that the Gerry family may no longer be able to stay in the city.

After all, the rent in the Granter neighborhood is very expensive, and Mrs. Gerry is a person who loves to enjoy life and never spends money sparingly. As the housekeeper, Ms. Will knows very well that the Gerry family has not saved much... Once Mr. Gerry loses his job at the city hall, and the existing life is difficult to guarantee.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ms. Will's ominous premonition to come true. Mr. Gerry was dismissed by the city hall and returned home in despair after receiving a "severance pay" of one month's salary.

Mrs. Gerry couldn't accept the reality. After the quarrel with Mr. Gerry, she cheered up and looked around for the ladies and wives she had been friends with, hoping to find someone to intercede and let Mr. Gerry return to the city hall. Unfortunately, it cost a lot of money. But did not see the slightest effect.

The Gerry couple had to accept the reality, so they had to return the house in the Granter block, sent away the maid Claire and the housekeeper Ms. Will, packed up their things and returned to Newing Town.

Ms. Will has not spent money recklessly these years, and has saved all her income except sending home, but she has never tried to live alone, either serving private classrooms or working for Gerry's family. After staying in the hotel for several days, I still couldn't find anyone willing to hire her, and gradually became panicked.

She doesn't want to go back to the countryside of Newing Town, she is too aware of her position in the family... The family will care about the money she sends back, but not much about her; if she brings the saved money If she goes back, the money will be lost, and the family will find someone to marry her off.

After all, she is already 27 years old. If a woman of this age is unmarried in the countryside, she is as strange as a monster in the eyes of outsiders.

When Ms. Will was worried, Claire, the little maid who left Gerry's house on the same day as her, came to find her.

This submissive little girl who was a maid had the guts to go to the city hall to ask others if they wanted her to work after being sent away by the Gerry family, and she was actually taken by the logistics department of the city hall and kept her.

Ms. Will was surprised, and what surprised her even more was that Claire, who had settled down in the logistics department, still missed her.

"When Mrs. Gerry lost her temper with me before, you always scolded me louder and more fiercely and told me to go to work. I know you wanted to distract me. You always picked my clothes because you didn't want to Let me be picked on by my wife. When my wife punishes me for not having dinner, you will always prepare a sumptuous supper for my husband on that night, and bring my leftover plate for me to wash...I know it all, ma'am , you are a gentle person."

When Claire with freckles on her face said these words with a smile, Ms. Will's eyes couldn't help but turn a little red—she thought that this rough hands and feet, like her when she first arrived at Gerry's house, was always being judged. A country girl that Mrs. Li can't get used to, she won't understand her intentions.

At this time, recalling Claire who led her to the city hall to report, Ms. Will's serious and rigid face, which can't help but remind people of a tutor or a strict housekeeper, unconsciously showed a warm smile.

After being transferred to Adler, I was really busy with work, and I might not even be free on weekends. This time, it was hard to squeeze out time and I had to go home to deal with the situation. Otherwise, Ms. Will really wanted to go to Innad Licheng chatted with Claire.

Withdrawing her emotions from her memories, Ms. Will found that the mother and daughter sitting opposite her, among them, the daughter who seemed to be a few years younger than herself was staring curiously at the radio antenna protruding from the pocket of Ms. Will's coat.

"Don't stare at others, it's too rude." The gray-haired mother noticed Ms. Will's gaze, quickly gave her daughter a hand, and smiled at Ms. Will embarrassedly.

"It's okay." Ms. Will took off one earphone, and subconsciously showed the professional smile that was required to practice after working in the logistics department. Although this kind of smile on Ms. Will's face still looks a bit majestic, "You two This...doesn't look like a Rhinelander?"

Also sitting in the passenger ship cabin seats, the shoulder height of the mother and daughter is higher than that of Ms. Will, who is already considered tall among southern women, and the facial features are not as soft as those of the people in the Eastern Kingdom. Deeper, the lines of the face are tougher.

"Yes, ma'am, we're from Kenya." The daughter, noticing her disrespect, bowed slightly apologetically.

"The Kenyan Empire? That place is far away. It's not easy to get here, right?" Ms. Will said in astonishment.

There is still Middle-earth between the Kenyan Empire and the eastern countries, and the war in Middle-earth has lasted for nearly 200 years; most of the Kenyans who can be seen in the Eastern Kingdom are adventurers, mercenaries, or other professional strongmen Or, ordinary Kenyans are extremely rare.

"Yes, ma'am, I changed the route several times along the way, and even went to take a sea boat. You know, the middle-earth generation is very uneasy." The daughter who was very interested in chatting with Ms. Will said, "If it weren't for Mister Jasper knows how to get around Middle-earth, and my mother and I just don't know how to get to the Eastern Kingdoms."

Ms. Will turned her head subconsciously, and saw a tall and strong man with a weapon in the seat next door, nodding friendlyly at Ms. Will.

At this time, the daughter said again: "Ma'am, are you someone who works in the city hall?"

Ms. Will was taken aback, looked down at herself, and then realized... The other party was not looking at the radio in her coat pocket at first, but at the city hall clerk's uniform in her coat.

In order to ensure that her family would value her words when she returned to her old home in the countryside of Newing Town, Ms. Will specially wore a uniform to return to her hometown; authoritative.

"Yes, I work as a clerk in the logistics department of the Innatrix City Hall, and now I have been transferred to Du Tata City to assist in the work here. My name is Will." Ms. Will introduced herself with a smile, because the city hall clerk Ms. Will is more proud to be noticed for her status than to be noticed by listening to the radio in public.

The Kenyan mother and daughter across the table suddenly became excited, and the daughter who looked a few years younger than Ms. Will said with excitement and anticipation: "Ms. Will, do you know a man named Hal Maxwell?" The man? He's my cousin."
