Sara

On the way to Hecheng, it rained heavily as expected, and the uncle driver's driving speed slowed down due to the rain.

Perhaps it was because he had been driving alone for too long. He was very talkative. Linshu learned that his name was Hubert Raleigh, and his job was as they saw it to be a truck driver.

Lei Li lives in Hecheng, his wife died young, and he has a daughter who is studying in a university in other places. He rarely goes home. It is said that he is studying high-tech. As a father, Lei Li doesn’t know much about it, but he has worked very hard. To earn tuition for my daughter, I hope my daughter will go to a big city earlier.

Linshu has a certain understanding of this point. The class in the empire is severely solidified. It is not easy for a family like Lei Li to give up a child who is going to college.

In the lower part of the empire, most of the children will have a general direction of the future planned at the initial stage of schooling. This direction is generally skilled workers, and there are few decent jobs.

Some of them will directly inherit the work of their parents, which will save tuition fees and suffer less.

For example, if Linshu hadn't joined the rebel army, he might be running a bakery and selling bread every day.

Most people in rural areas choose farming and animal husbandry, and public schools are only responsible for teaching children to recognize words and learn to add, subtract, multiply and divide.

As for elite education, it belongs to the elite with capital.

But the pyramid is bigger and bigger as it goes down.

"I mainly transport goods between Hecheng and Senna. This time, I was stopped before I went in. I can only pay her a little less money next month." Lei Li sighed, "I can't run anymore recently. She didn't go on vacation either, so it was strangely deserted when she went back."

"Speaking of which, may I ask where your family lives?" Linshu asked.

When he was chatting with Rayleigh, he got a reply from Zemel. His immediate boss asked him to stay in Hecheng for two days, and then someone would come to pick them up. Let's go back to the headquarters together.

If you want to stay in Hecheng, the hotel that will leave your registration information is actually not very safe. It is a good choice to stay in the home of ordinary people.

But the bad thing is that Hecheng, as a satellite city of Senna, exists mainly to share the pressure for Senna. Any factories that produce pollution will be placed in Hecheng, and only the finished products will be supplied to Senna.In addition, a large amount of waste from Senna will also be transported to Hecheng for disposal.

As a result, the air pollution in Hecheng may be similar to that in the old city of the imperial capital.

"I'm in the freight business, so I live in a remote place." Lei Li casually gave the approximate location of his home.

Linshu made a judgment based on the map. Leili might be thinking about his daughter, and his home is very far from the factory area, which is a rare livable area in Hecheng.

"In that case, I would like to ask, can we stay at your house for two days?" Linshu asked politely, "We are college students just like your daughter, and it may take two days for our family to pick us up. When the time comes, I will give you the rent."

Yofasa is younger, and Linshu is a few years older than him, but as long as there are no wrinkles on his face, the difference between his early twenties and his 25s is not too obvious.Linshu never changed his face when he lied, but Lei Li didn't suspect anything.

"No problem, I just think the house is deserted." Lei Li enthusiastically agreed, "Where are you students from?"

This touched Linshu's knowledge blind spot, and his fluent language faltered: "The school is not particularly famous...you probably haven't heard of it."

"In order to apply for a suitable school for my daughter, I searched through the Imperial University roster for many days. There is no school I don't know." Raleigh waved his hand indifferently, and immediately put his hand back on the steering wheel.

His attitude was not to doubt Linshu and the others' identities, but simply too talkative.

"Saint Tours Military Academy."

Yofasa's voice suddenly came from the back seat. He was lying behind Linshu's seat with his chin resting on the left shoulder of the driver's seat. Linshu almost kissed him when he turned around.

"Ah..." This time it was the turn of the eloquent Raleigh Carton.

Of course he had heard of this school, but he didn't see it on the list of imperial universities.

This school is one of the three most famous military academies in the empire. Most of the students enrolled are elite nobles, and a few are civilians with outstanding abilities.

"The school has openly recruited students a few years ago, and has set up many civilian majors." Yofasa added, "It's not that special."

"Ah, that's it..." Lei Li looked at Yofasha through the rearview mirror. If he said that Linshu was a military student, he would completely believe it.

As for this pretty boy with blond hair, he doesn't seem to be able to serve in the army, maybe he is a civilian just like he said.

Linshu sighed silently in his heart, Yofasa was indeed not a chatterbox.

Fortunately, Rayleigh was not only enthusiastic and talkative, but also very nervous. After a while, he got out of the awkward atmosphere and asked them how the Saint-Tulsi Military Academy was like, whether it had produced many generals, whether the tuition was expensive, and the employment prospects. OK.

Linshu didn't know anything about it, Yofasa had read all the information about this school, and even visited it once for some reason, it was more than enough to fool Lei Li.

After getting used to Yofasha's way of speaking and tone, Raleigh could actually chat with him.

Lin Shu looked at this kind-hearted driver, his eyes were full of admiration - even he himself was not so fluent in chatting with Yofasa!

"Oh? There are subsidies. My daughter has been unable to apply. Your grades must be very good, right?"

Outlines of several buildings could be vaguely seen in the rain curtain, and Leili drove the car towards his home while chatting with them.

"Well, except for the poor physical fitness test, I am excellent in other aspects." Yofasa even made up lies based on the actual situation, and he was not humble at all.

"I'm not in good health, it's not your problem." Rayleigh sighed for him, "My house is coming soon, you guys stay at my house first, I have to take the car back to the company."

"Will this be bad?" Lin Shu asked.

"What's the matter? I don't have any valuables at home. The most precious thing has already gone to study." Lei Li smiled nonchalantly.

Since Lei Li didn't mind, Lin Shu didn't say anything more.

Rayleigh's home arrived soon. As he said, the location is far away from the factory area, but it is raining today, so the air quality cannot be seen.

His house is a single-family two-story building. The whole building is a bit old, and some of the exterior walls have inconsistent colors, which should have been repaired.

It was still raining heavily, so Leili took an umbrella and got out of the car with Linshu, and went to the door and asked Linshu to go back to pick up Yofasa.

When chatting with Rayleigh on the road, Yofasa was still in good spirits. Now that his attention was distracted, he showed a bit of lethargy. After all, the riding experience of heavy trucks is not so comfortable.

"Give me your hand, come down slowly." Linshu followed Yofasha's extended hand and led him down, carefully protecting him from the rain.

"Shall I boil a pot of water for you before going to the company?" Lei Li pushed open the door and turned on the lamp in the living room, "Little Sara is not in good health, please keep warm."

"Little..." Yofasa repeated in his heart the title that Leili had assigned to him, and when he crossed the threshold, he slowed down and stepped on Linshu's instep.

"I'm sorry..." Linshu also heard this nickname, and tried not to laugh. He patted Yofasa on the shoulder and comforted him, "This is the way the elders express their closeness. There is no malice, and it's not to laugh at you."

"Come in first and close the door. The rain is coming in." Lei Li turned on the temperature control system at home, and the temperature in the room slowly rose. You go to my room to rest, I live in my daughter's room."

"Excuse me."

Linshu and Yofasa sat down on the sofa in the center of the living room. Leili’s house didn’t have any new modern items, most of them were old things more than ten years ago, which seemed quite retro to Yofasa.

Lei Li poured hot water for them, ordered some small things, and hurried out to the company, saying that he would be back in half an hour, and asked them what ingredients they preferred for dinner, as enthusiastic as if his own children came home.

"I really miss it..." Linshu held the glass and blew on the hot air, "My previous family members were also so enthusiastic. It feels better to have a family than to be alone."

He took a sip of hot water, turned his head, and found Yofasa staring at him quietly, with a thoughtful expression.

"what happened?"

"You are not from the empire. Does your family mean your parents in your hometown?" Yofasa asked.

"That's not true. I don't have a deep impression of my parents. After all, I came to the empire to study at the age of ten. After more than ten years, I don't even remember what they look like." Linshu replied with a smile, "I'm talking about boarding My family’s uncles and aunts, when I was a child there was an accident at home, my parents didn’t plan to take me back, and my relatives here didn’t care about me, they played football back and forth.”

"Although I can still be taken care of according to the law, the uncles and aunts of the host family treat me as their own child. They don't want me to be wronged. They have no children themselves, so they adopted me."

When he recalled the not-so-good past, his expression was quite gentle.

This seems to be a bittersweet background story, but Yofasa noticed something strange: "You said you didn't graduate from high school. If they treated you well, why wouldn't they let you go to school?"

He said this as if he was blaming the couple. For those who knew him, this sentence was a common question.

"It's not that they don't let me go to school, it's that the empire doesn't let me go to school." Linshu's soft expression faded, "When I was in high school, a new policy was introduced on the electronic payment tax rate, and my uncle and aunt opened a bakery, which affected them. Big — no, because there are so many loopholes, it's even fatal for them."

"I don't know much about economic issues. All I know is that they lost a lot of money, couldn't make ends meet, and had to pay fines. Uncle thought the New Deal was unreasonable, so he went to the protesters' parade..."

Lin Shu didn't continue talking, but took a sip of water.

Yofasa touched the edge of the glass, recalling the events related to what Linshu said. If he remembered correctly, it should be a parade that was stained with blood and then wiped away.

Kavanka is bald.
