Chapter 341 King’s School (fourth update, please subscribe)
At least two to three immigrant ships arrive in Borneo every day.
On the first day of the New Year in 2047, two ships sailed into Taiping Bay one after another. Taiping Bay was the former Sandakan Bay.
When the two ships sailed into Taiping Bay, people on the deck saw each other.
When they saw each other, both parties seemed to be in a daze,
On one side is a man, on the other side is a woman.
“Look, there are actually women on that boat!”
Without anyone shouting, Zhao Deliang, who was standing on the side of the ship, could see the women on that boat, just like here, It was crowded with people, but they were all women.
Although there are women here, there are some, but not many.
“It’s a Japanese pussy!”
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly. When everyone took a look, it was obvious that many women on the boat were wearing clothes only worn by Japanese girls.
“What a fool! She’s actually a Japanese girl!”
“It’s really a Japanese girl!”
“What a fool...”
< br>The curses rang out on the deck. Obviously, just after the war, they still had unresolved grievances between them. In fact, some hatred could not be resolved.
However, for the female workers from Japan on the ship, they are all looking at the city with expectation. Compared with Yokohama, which has been razed to the ground by the US military's incendiary bombs, Chang'an is now in front of them. , is undoubtedly prosperous. The tall buildings that have just been built give the city a somewhat urban appearance.
The 100-meter-high Taiping Building under construction will also replace the 89.9-meter-high Shanghai International Hotel - when it was first built in the 1930s, it was ranked as the "tallest building in the Far East." It is also the tallest building in Asia. But it's about to be replaced. Those construction engineers from Germany are also very good at designing skyscrapers, but what Chang'an needs now... is just a few landmarks, and other buildings are more practical.
But even so, these new arrivals were all stunned by this city after arriving in Chang'an. Many people, whether from Tangshan or Japan, were so surprised that their eyes were filled with tears. fell out.
“People say that Shanghai is the Paris of the East, more lively than Paris. But it seems that Chang’an is no worse than Shanghai!”
“I don’t know, this is It’s just a few buildings. There is no place in Shanghai that can compare to the big city of Shanghai. Go to the Bund and take a look. There are high-rise buildings everywhere. Compared with that place, this place is like the countryside. What you country bumpkins don’t understand... …”
A man in a white shirt said loudly next to him.
"Shanghai is so nice, why are you still here?"
"That's right, that's right, it's natural for us country bumpkins to come to the countryside. What are you doing here?"
>
“You don’t understand, you don’t understand, you don’t understand even if you say it...”
But no one paid any attention to his words. After all, no matter how good Shanghai is, they are still here now. In fact, the man who spoke also knew that although Shanghai was a good city, it could not retain people. Even if he had worked in a German foreign trade company for many years, he still had to come to Chang'an or Borneo to make a living.
The people on the ship were divided into several categories at the dock. Those holding ship tickets passed customs inspection. Those holding ship tickets and company employment notices passed customs inspection and then took the bus to the dormitory. As for ordinary workers, they took the bus to quarantine. The camp, which is called isolation, actually means they will receive basic training for half a month, and then be assigned to factories, construction sites or plantations according to their personal abilities. In short, they will be sent to the place where they are needed in the shortest possible time. Nanyang does not support idlers.
But except for children like Zhao Maotou and others, they will be sent to school.
"What? They are going to school?"
Looking at Zhao Maotou and others beside them, although they are not related by blood, Zhao Deliang, as the head of the household, has already developed feelings during this time. , after learning that he was going to be separated from them, he inevitably seemed a little excited.
"They are all my younger brothers and sisters. You took them away. How will we contact each other in the future?"
Zhao Maotou and the others also shouted. They wanted to come here to live a good life, but they didn't want to be separated from Brother Zhao. After all, this guy was really good. "Don't be excited, don't be excited. Listen to me, Mr. Zhao, this is your identity registration card. The information of fourteen of them is clearly recorded here. No matter where you go, this information will be notified to you as soon as possible. Moreover, after you come out of the isolation camp, you can visit them in school. If the conditions of the place where you work permit, you can also go through the transfer procedures and take them there to study. The separation now is only temporary, and besides, you can't When you go to work, bring them to the construction site to work with you..."
In the staff's explanation, Zhao Deliang and the others knew that he was going In this case, the best place for children to go is to go to school.
"If you really take care of food and housing, can you still study?"
"Yes, if you can take care of food and housing, you can still study, and you will have the opportunity to enter college in the future."
"No money?"
"No money!"
The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, and it was even unacceptable for a while. When Zhao Deliang was still a little confused, a man with his wife and children The man, holding the child, asked with some expectation and some fear.
"Then, can my child also go to study there?"
"You are a husband and wife, and you can take your own child with you. One man can take care of so many younger brothers. Sister? Can you bring me here by yourself? Why are you just joining in the fun?"
The staff's explanation immediately made the man and the people nearby unhappy.
“Then I also want my child to study in a school that provides food and housing control, but why can’t I do that?”
“Why should he allow his children to study? We don’t need money to eat, but our family has to support itself.”
We don’t worry about scarcity but inequality. Human nature is like this. If you can take advantage of it, who won’t take it?
"Okay, then you have to think about it. Your wife and children are separated. You visit once a week, and when you have children assigned work positions, you will be closer to the town. After all, now the school Not much! ”
The staff had long been accustomed to such a scene, so they said.
“Furthermore, the school there also provides free lunch, and the school also does not charge tuition fees!”
When the crowd who were originally excited heard this, they immediately stopped. .
"Well, if that's the case, then I won't go. I can take care of my baby by myself..."
After the people dispersed, they didn't spend much time with me. But there are also younger brothers and sisters who have some feelings, Zhao Deliang thought for a while and said.
"That Maotou, Huzi, Dasheng, Zhuzhu, Atao, Guocheng..."
Reading their names one by one, Zhao Deliang touched his nose and said.
"You will always be my younger brother and sister, Zhao Deliang. No matter where you are, I will be the head of our family here, do you understand?"
"Yes, brother!"
When Zhao Maotou spoke, his eyes turned red and tears flowed out, as did everyone else.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry. You go to school and listen to your teacher. Study hard. Only by reading well can you be successful in the future. If you don't study hard, I won't take care of you when I go. !”
Although he didn’t say to see them, the meaning was very clear, he would go to see them. In this way, these "brothers and sisters" who met on the streets of Shanghai half a month ago separated. When Zhao Deliang got on the bus to the isolation camp, Zhao Maotou and his group went to the isolation camp with more than 200 children. King's School outside the city.
Unlike ordinary workers who packed trucks to go to the isolation camps, they went to school in buses. When the bus left the dock, Zhao Maotou, like everyone else, looked at this strange place through the window. Although the city is full of construction sites, looking at the high-rise buildings outside the car window, looking at the bustling passers-by on the streets, and thinking of the school he is about to enter, Zhao Maotou said over and over again in his heart.
"I knew it, I knew it, I must have come to the right place, I must have come to the right place..."
