Chapter 24 Selection
Compared with how difficult it is to be selected by the choir, Levi is now looking at the graceful appearance with a surprised look on his face.
At this time, she had black hair and was wearing simple linen clothes. Her originally fair and delicate face was dotted with some small freckles last night, and her blue eyes were covered with black contact lenses. .
Although he still has outstanding appearance and unique temperament, his original appearance cannot be seen at all.
What really surprised Li Wei was her legs. Ever since she woke up early in the morning, her grace had suddenly stopped limping!
Even before Li Wei put makeup on her, her face was still pale, even a bit paler than before, but now she seems to have become a person with sound limbs.
"You weren't always pretending to be lame before, were you?"
Li Wei looked at her suspiciously.
When Fengzi heard these words, she couldn't help but clenched her teeth, and grabbed Li Wei's arm harder, with a vicious look, as if she was chewing his flesh.
"You are just pretending to be a lame! Your whole family is pretending to be lame!"
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Levi just shook his head indifferently and didn't ask any more questions.
Everyone has some little secrets of their own, just like Levi himself. He doesn’t have any reservations about his charm. It can even be said that he has reserved a lot.
"Say it first, even if you are not lame, I will not change my words."
As he said this, he looked around, and soon he was in a small alley not far away. I found a middle-aged woman who was also looking for someone.
Li Wei walked towards the woman's position with the grace of grabbing his arm. The woman also saw them and didn't say anything first, but just looked up and down.
Until Levi asked.
"Introduced by Zhou Laosan?"
Hearing this title, a smile appeared on the woman's face, and she became enthusiastic.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Zhou from next door contacted us. Zhao Huan and Zhao Ling, right? These are your two identity cards. The information has been entered in advance. It is authenticated and does not require photo inspection. That kind of thing."
Li Wei took the ID card she handed over and handed the "Zhao Ling" one to Fengzi.
"Uncle Zhou should have told you that I have additional requirements. You still have to cooperate with us today."
The smile on the woman's face became more enthusiastic.
"I know, I know, but he also said that part of the reward is yours."
At the same time as she spoke, Levi had already taken out ten hundred-dollar bills from his pocket. Under the woman's bright gaze, he counted seven of them.
"I will give you seven hundred first, and after the matter is over, I will give you the remaining three hundred."
It was impossible for Levi to carry so much cash with him. He rented a house near the church and temporarily put some things that were inconvenient to carry into the house. He only brought a small amount of money with him.
After receiving the agreed remuneration, women seemed to have done this kind of work all the time. It was very natural for them to become Li Wei and Feng Zi’s “mother”, taking them both to the church where they signed up to sing. In the team of the class. The queue is really long. Most of them are mothers bringing their children to sign up. The church choir has a fixed age limit and will only recruit teenagers aged 8-18, with a 50-50 male to female ratio.
But it is a choir that comes to the fore after all.
It is said that the bishop uses the White Tower Singing event every year to help workers in Yuguang District win a lot of subsidies and funds, so the selection criteria for registration every year are particularly strict.
Children living in Yuguang District are more or less malnourished. Their parents, who are laborers, have no time to pay attention to their personal hygiene. There are even few children who can read or learn knowledge at all.
This means that although there are many people who sign up, most of them will be rejected on the spot.
According to the real age, Levi's original eighteenth birthday in this world has just passed three months, and Fengzi is almost twenty this year.
However, the ages on their ID cards have been changed to seventeen and sixteen years old.
Judging from the appearance of the two people, it is indeed difficult to tell their true age.
After queuing all morning, we finally got Fengzi and Li Wei around 11 noon.
The pastor in charge of registration and on-site screening was already a little numb at this time. He lowered his head and first registered the ID cards of Li Wei and Fengzi. When he raised his head and saw their faces, he was obviously a little dazed. .
"Pastor, I'm not bragging! When we were young, we were like a flower from far and wide. My sons and daughters all grew up like me! They were all obedient and sensible. When we were young, my bastard husband taught them how to read. , absolutely meets the requirements of the church!”
The women were very dedicated, and they did not forget to bring Li Wei and grace while bragging about themselves.
The pastor heard her words and nodded, but after looking at Li Wei and Fengzi for a while, he did not say anything first. Instead, he took out two photos from the side and looked at them. The man compared them carefully, and then silently shook his head.
The woman hired by Levi thought the pastor was dissatisfied, which made her nervous. She was afraid that if Levi and the two were not selected, she would not be able to get the final payment.
"What do you think is wrong? Their hair is too long? Or their nails are not cut? Don't just shake your head!"
The pastor put down the two wanted photos in his hand. He answered the woman's question first, then lowered his head and put a big check mark behind the two people's information on the registration form.
"There is nothing wrong with your two children and they meet the selection criteria. But this is only a temporary selection. After that, the church will arrange training for them. If something does not meet the requirements during this period, problem, we will still eliminate them.”
Hearing this, the woman finally let out a long sigh of relief, and a wishful smile appeared on her face.
"Take a look at this employment contract. If there are no problems, let your son and daughter go in directly. They can't go home during this period, but you can come to visit at any time. The church will arrange food and lodging to ensure that they are taken care of. They. "
The woman signed the contract without any hesitation. At the same time, she and Li Wei Fengzi seriously told them to be obedient in the church, just like they really did. The mother is average.
Of course, taking advantage of this opportunity, Levi also quietly stuffed the remaining three hundred yuan into the woman's hands. The two of them looked at each other tacitly for the last time, declaring the success and success of the transaction. Finish.
Finally, a nun dressed as a nun led the two of them into the church, where dozens of selected children were already staying.
