Chapter 461: Why Don't We Sleep on the Street?
Woo-woo-woo, this person's luck is too bad, he is really miserable!
Just when Li Ang was sighing for the doll-faced girl's bad luck, the doll-faced girl with teary eyes was also secretly aiming at him, and similar emotions surged in her heart.
This Mr. Li Ang is a good person!
He started earning money at the age of ten, doing all kinds of dirty and tiring work, struggling to support a small family. After reaching the standard age, he successfully joined the Police Department and found a decent job that could support his younger siblings.
And although he has always been short of money, during the gas pipeline explosion, facing the compensation that could be obtained with a nod, he was able to refuse without hesitation. This time, after being injured, he also didn't want compensation, just thinking about finding a school for his younger siblings.
Also, yesterday when he was knocked unconscious in the shopping plaza, Mr. Li Ang was only wearing a tattered old coat, but there were only clothes he bought for his younger siblings beside him, and he didn't think about changing into one for himself at all...
Gently stroking the back of her smooth hand, recalling the rough touch of the calluses, she seemed to see the shadow of someone on Li Ang, and a trace of faint closeness and appreciation appeared in the doll-faced girl's eyes.
Besides not having such precise business foresight, Mr. Li Ang is really like Dad back then.
Loving his family just as much, working hard every day just the same, never giving up no matter how hard it is, and being able to hold the bottom line when facing temptation... Hmm... the only thing that isn't too good is that he is a bit too young, several years younger than herself...
Decided! Move!
After pondering for a long time, considering that the area around Old Soldier Alley is full of prisons and factories and the environment is too poor, and that it is too hard for the two children to walk more than ten kilometers to school every day, Li Ang finally made up his mind to move the whole family to Happiness Apartment.
As for what to do with that old man with the big scissors...
Feeling that the old lady who loves knitting seems to be communicable, he can try to talk to her, explain that he is not a bad person, and see if he can persuade her husband not to do it.
If that still doesn't work, he will use the excuse of being busy with work and stay at the Cleanup Bureau for a while. Anyway, the matter of the two children going to school cannot wait any longer.
If William and the others enroll now, and ask the husband of the middle-aged nurse to take care of them, they should be able to keep up. If they drag it on, they will really have to wait until next year.
After making the decision completely, Li Ang turned to look at the doll-faced girl who was in a daze, thought for a while, and asked politely:
"That... sorry, I forgot to ask, how should I address you?"
"Ah?"
The doll-faced girl who came back to her senses had a flushed face, subconsciously reached out to block her swollen eyes, and then lowered her head slightly:
"Amy, you can just call me Amy!"
"Okay, Miss Amy."
After noting down the name of this woman who cried every time they met, Li Ang nodded and said:
"I have already chosen, please help my younger brother and sister go to Bridge Public School! Thank you for your help!"
"Ah, you're welcome, you're welcome, this is what we... should do!"
Secretly glancing at the hospital room window, wanting to see what she looked like now, but only seeing an ugly woman with swollen eye circles, the doll-faced girl felt a panic in her heart, hurriedly turned her head away: "That... Mr. Li Ang, our company has shares in many good schools, and there are some quotas for recommended students every year. Except for the Royal Internal School, all suitable church public schools or noble private schools, you can choose whatever you want!"
"Uh... these are unnecessary..." Thinking about the location of Old Soldier Alley and the situation of those public and private schools, Li Ang shook his head:
"Our whole family are non-believers, and given our family's situation, they probably won't be happy if they enter a noble private school, so we really don't need to go to such a good school. Just choose a regional public school with good teaching standards and strict management... Hmm... it would be even better if it could be close to home."
"Ah! Sorry, it was my negligence!"
After hearing Li Ang's concerns, the doll-faced girl's face turned red, first apologized embarrassedly, and then hesitated:
"However, for better regional public schools... the schools in the Old City area are relatively chaotic. The better ones should only be Platinum Public School, Bridge Public School, Chelsea Public School, and Westminster Public School."
"But your family lives in Old Soldier Alley on the edge of the Old City area. These public schools are all built near the New City area to ensure the source of students. It seems they are all a bit far from your home. If you walk there every day, it will take a long time, why don't..."
After secretly measuring Li Ang's expression, the doll-faced girl tentatively opened her mouth:
"I compensate you with a house over there?"
?!?!!!
No... normally shouldn't it be, why don't you change schools, or at most compensate for an old-fashioned carriage? What kind of operation is it to directly give a school district house? Is your Charle Department Store so inhumane?
"Hiss... cough! Cough, cough, cough!!!"
Scared by the doll-faced girl's suggestion, Li Ang subconsciously took a deep breath, his cracked ribs hurt faintly. After pressing his throat and coughing twice, he covered his painful chest and leaned back against the head of the bed in pain.
"Ah! Mr. Li Ang! You... you hold on, I'll go call the doctor!"
Seeing Li Ang, who was fine just now, suddenly lying down with a pale face, the doll-faced girl was scared enough, turned her head and prepared to find a doctor.
However, just as she turned her body, she was pulled back by Li Ang with quick eyes and hands.
"It's okay, it's okay... cough, cough... I just... just inhaled a bit too fast."
Afraid that this crying compensation clerk would say some outrageous compensation plan again, Li Ang gripped her palm and breathed evenly, then pressed his ribs that were pulled painfully and refused:
"Houses and such are really unnecessary! You just need to help my younger brother and sister enroll! By the way, among these quite good public schools, which one is closest to Old Soldier Alley?"
"..."
After looking at the palm he was holding in a loss, feeling the scorching temperature and hard calluses in Li Ang's palm, the doll-faced girl didn't struggle immediately, but after thinking about it, she said shyly:
"The closest public school... that should be Bridge Public School. The main entrance of the school is at the end of Bridge Street, and it is not far from the Municipal District where you work."
"If you get off work early one day, you can just pick up your younger brother and sister from school... that... Mr. Li Ang, hand..."
"Ah, sorry!"
Hearing the reminder, Li Ang, who didn't know why he was a bit stunned, hurriedly let go of the doll-faced girl's hand, then frowned and pondered.
Bridge Street... that Happiness Apartment that almost cut him to death with big scissors seems to be at number thirty-five on this street. Not only is the rent very low, but there are also many empty houses.
Also, in the hospital incident, the husband of the middle-aged nurse happened to be a teacher teaching at Bridge Public School, and Anna happened to have "saved" his wife, which could be considered a good relationship.
Not to mention anything else, if Melanie and the others went to Bridge Public School, they would definitely be taken care of well. If they were naughty occasionally, he and Anna would also know soon. Moving there seems to be a good thing that kills n birds with one stone, but...
Recalling the muscular old man who was "not in good health," and the big scissors that almost cut him in two, Li Ang couldn't help but rub his brow in worry.
Anna and the others can move in, but what about me?
