Chapter 228 Hurley's Day
On March [-]th, Helgana could faintly feel the breath of spring. At six o'clock in the morning, Hurley followed the guidance of the biological clock she had cultivated during this time, and woke up from the gloomy dream. Looking at the increasingly familiar ceiling for a while, she realized that there was a thin layer of sweat on her body.

"Good morning, Mrs. Elton!"

"Good morning, Schiller!"

Downstairs, there was a vague greeting from mother and Bessie entertaining the guests who came to Carl's Cake Shop for breakfast in the morning. Since Hurley's room was located on the back street, she couldn't hear it very clearly. She lifted the thick quilt, The coldness of early spring immediately made the girl, who was only wearing a thin gauze vest and underwear, and covered with a thin layer of sweat, shudder.

"It doesn't look like spring has arrived at all!"

After complaining, Hurley hurriedly put on thick clothes. The cotton underwear produced by the textile factory was covered with a woolen sweater produced in the north, and then a layer of thick and bloated coarse cotton coat and trousers. In previous years, at this time The warmth that Duan couldn't enjoy at all immediately enveloped the girl's whole body, and made her even thin body bloated.

The thick wooden windows were propped up vigorously, and the fresh morning air mixed with the coldness rushed into the room, washing away all the dullness brought by the whole night. After looking at a quiet back alley, Hurley packed her canvas schoolbag, Then he carried his heavy schoolbag and prepared to go downstairs.

Before stepping on the stairs, her eyes glanced at the next door of her room inadvertently, and as soon as her eyes touched, the scenes from last night's dream suddenly appeared in her mind, making her brown eyes dim.

Today is her 11th birthday, but Xia Lin, who brought the family to their present life, has no chance to participate again.

"Good morning! Hurley, I got up early today! And happy birthday!"

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Bessie walking from the store in the front hall to the cake workshop at the back. Because of Xia Lin's death, Bessie and Anthony's wedding was only held briefly. After all, under such circumstances, No one in the Karl family was in the mood for a grand wedding.

"I usually get up pretty early..."

When Hurley heard this cheerful blessing, she lowered her head awkwardly, as if she was resisting Bessie's optimism.

People in the slums, even people in this world, don't pay much attention to life and death. It seems that losing a relative or friend in a certain misfortune in their life is a normal thing for them, and it only takes a moment. Condolences, these strong people can muster up the courage to continue walking into the future.

After all, the burden of life is on the shoulders of the living, and they don't have so much time to mourn.

But maybe because Xia Lin's family situation has improved a lot now, Hurley can't forget his existence. The blessing just now reminded her inexplicably of the day when she and her family celebrated Xia Lin's birthday. Scenes.

Bessie didn't care about Hurley's little mood. Carl's Bakery, which has already become famous in the entire imperial capital, even in the morning, there is an endless stream of people who come to buy cakes and various desserts for breakfast.

After the funeral, Lanny accidentally found a notebook in that room while sorting out the relics, which recorded the methods of making many new desserts.

Sandwiches paired with black tea, green tea or milk for breakfast, which has recently become popular among ordinary citizens, is the breakfast set that Karl's Cake Shop tried to launch according to that notebook.

One serving only needs ten copper pess, which can make people have a delicious and fulfilling morning in a day. It is very popular among the citizens, and even many people will buy this package for lunch and dinner. Bessie and Lanny The two of them are so busy every day.

Hurley went downstairs to the dining room, where a sandwich with bacon, sausage slices, fried eggs, cabbage leaves and cream had already been placed on her own seat at the table.

After putting her schoolbag on the seat, Hurley avoided the busy Bessie and Zu, found her ceramic cup from the steaming kitchen, scooped out a glass of fresh milk with a wooden spoon from the milk barrel beside her, and returned Go to your seat and finish this hearty breakfast with peace of mind.

"I'm going to school!"

"Be careful on the road!"

After breakfast, Hurley greeted her busy mother with her schoolbag on her back, and got into a carriage by the side of the street.

Some time ago, after the slums carried out the clearance campaign, some things called inspection agencies appeared in various places in the slums. If there was any robbery, theft, or fights on the street, there would be people with rifles and black sticks in the slums. The inspectors will be dispatched to severely educate those so-called "unstable elements".

Even if they can run for a while, those people can't escape for a lifetime under the noses of enthusiastic neighbors.

Because of this, the slums, or the security of the new district is much better than before, and even the adjacent west district may not be as good as the security of the new district, so the Karl family can now rest assured that she is a 14-year-old girl who will soon be 15 years old in a carriage. go to school.

Recently, my father always goes to the industrial park early, and he looks very busy. Hurley heard that something big happened in the industrial park, but in that memory, I have seen Huai a few times, who is as beautiful as a girl. Hurley was very curious about what big event Te could make.

During the leisure time in the carriage, Hurley took out a thin booklet from her pocket and began to recite the epic excerpts on it. This is the so-called "teaching supplementary book" distributed by Xinglan Primary School. Articles that need to be memorized.

In their free time, the students of Xinglan Primary School can take out this thin booklet of "Must-Memorize Texts for the Primary School Affiliated to Xinglan Industrial Park" to consolidate the articles they have learned in class.

Among the students in Xinglan Primary School, there may be some who are not very good in academic performance, but there are absolutely no poor students with improper learning attitudes.

Because every poor child knows that the learning opportunity they have obtained is the dream of countless slum children. As long as they complete five years of study, they can get a starting position as a formal employee in the industrial park. For the family, it is the hope for the future.

The pride and joy on the faces of the regular employees and their families around them, as well as the generous rewards they can bring back home, made these precocious children full of longing.

The carriage rattled forward for a while, then stopped suddenly, and the sound of rattling knocks gradually came from her ears. Hurley, who was reciting the text silently with her eyes closed, ignored it at first, but waited for a while Noticing that the carriage suddenly entered into a strange state of moving and stopping for a while, he couldn't help but put down the thin booklet in his hand in doubt, opened the door and asked the driver:
"Uncle Marvin, what's the matter?"

"Miss Hurley, there seems to be some construction going on on Banyan Street ahead, blocking half of the road. Carriages and pedestrians are all blocking this half. I think we have to wait before we can pass!"

The coachman named Marvin pointed to the half of the street next to the carriage that was blocked by a low wooden fence and replied.

There were many workers swinging their hammers to pry the large and uneven stone slabs out of the road. Near them were a few city guards with heavy armors, who were watching impatiently. If you want to step over the fence and enter the construction site, you should sternly stop their actions.
