Chapter 3249: Shopping on East Street

————Working on it, right away~

————

Actually, Marie had overthought the benefits; in reality, this was a rumor deliberately spread by the Government Hall to encourage residents of Linshui Community to take the initiative to send their children to school.

The residents of Daxia Territory are now very, very willing to send their children to learn Magic—especially when there is no tuition to pay—but if they cannot learn Magic, then in most people's understanding, knowing how to read and write is enough.

Don't think too much about the rest.

Although this mindset is gradually changing, because learning itself is a process of broadening one's horizons, and people are curious about the unknown, changing concepts cannot be accomplished overnight.

Even now, there are still parents in Linshui Community who hope to keep their children by their side to do housework or become craft apprentices, which is why the Government Hall deliberately created the rumor that Linshui Primary School can directly promote to Linshui Junior High School.

In fact, the new villages outside Linshui Town have similar rumors, and in Xia Duo's planning, primary school was always intended to lead directly to junior high, but resources are currently insufficient to announce that all school-age children can attend school.

For Marie and her husband, their daughter is their everything; even without the rumor of direct promotion to junior high, they would still send Moli to school, as schooling is a reliable way to progress.

Otherwise, they would have to wait until Moli is sixteen to participate in the Tower of Time's Midsummer Recruitment, but the Territory is developing so fast, who knows what changes there might be to the recruitment rules by then?

Very slowly, the two arrived at a distance from the school, and only then did they see other children and their parents; at that moment, Mrs. Marie finally had time to say this:

At least her husband didn't make her hide it.

"Look, I told you it was still early!"

The virtual balance on an Identity Card is not being tested for the first time, but previously it was mostly within the Army, and Mrs. Marie does not look like a soldier, so the staff member was very surprised.

That is not a small amount!

And when he saw the small square on Marie's Identity Card that could emit a distinct glow even in broad daylight, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Isn't this the Digital Account that was only tested within the Army before? How do you have one too?"

But upon hearing this, the staff member in charge of registration immediately called out with some annoyance, "I understand, I understand everything now, no wonder that guy has been suddenly avoiding me lately!"

Not only was there an increase in a specific group of customers, but this extra group of customers also attracted other customers; all in all, his family earned nearly two thousand Gold Coins extra during that one-month test.

Linshui University.

After the small interlude, Moli successfully completed her enrollment registration and received two sets of very good-looking clothes called "School Uniforms," and then was told she could go home.

It's just that the enrollment age for primary school is limited to 10 to 15 years old, and Moli is only 11 this year, so there were very few children calling her "big sister," which made Moli a bit unhappy, but thinking that there would be more younger brothers and sisters in a few years, she became happy again.

This was not a detail from the community notice, but one of the contents regularly publicized by the Security Office in communities, factories, and other places, which is that in any situation, when facing anyone, there is no need to hand over one's Identity Card, only to display the key information.

After little Moli showed her Identity Card, Mrs. Marie was also asked to provide her Identity Card; this is a necessary step, not only to confirm the parent's identity but also to enrich the usage scenarios of the Identity Card.

On the way, she didn't forget to greet familiar neighbors, and Moli also very politely called out to various "uncles, aunts, big brothers, and big sisters," though of course, she was also called "big sister" by smaller children.

Because when she was even younger, she dared to go to the waste dump alone to pick up firewood, so this bit of walking only made a few beads of sweat seep from the tip of her nose.

Mrs. Marie had learned these details from the community notice a few days ago; she very deftly took out her Identity Card and displayed it for the staff at the registration desk to check, rather than handing it to the other party.

"My family runs a clothing store on East Seventh Street. During the previous Identity Card Digital Account test, our store was selected as a test merchant, but now it seems another round of testing has started, yet I haven't received any news."

It is only one road away from the Linshui Community where Moli lives; of course, this refers to the shortest distance, and there is still a distance for Moli's family to walk to school, but she doesn't feel it is far at all.

……

The energy of a young child who has high expectations for school is terrifying; Mrs. Marie, as an adult, also felt she couldn't keep up with her daughter's pace.

Speaking of this, the staff member's face suddenly slumped, and he spread his hands and said helplessly: "My family's store probably won't make it into this test; the Clerk I know is probably afraid I'll ask about this and is deliberately avoiding me!"

Registration Desk.

"Slow down, there's still plenty of time!" Mrs. Marie called out to her daughter from behind.

Therefore, as long as they are parents who are truly good for their children and have foresight, they will send their children to school as early as possible; only those short-sighted parents would think that letting their children do a few more days of work at home would make them a fortune.

……

……

"There are really many people today. We can only proceed with class assignment after everyone is registered. You all come back tomorrow; classes should officially start tomorrow."

"My husband is in the Territory Guard. He transferred a sum of money to me last night, which activated this function. I really don't know what it was like before," Marie said truthfully, as there was nothing to hide.

But Moli's nimble footsteps showed no sign of stopping; she just moved forward and then backward, like a lively little butterfly fluttering up and down around her mother.

Noticing the strange looks from Marie and others around, the staff member hurriedly explained: "The guy I'm talking about is not Mrs. Marie's husband, but a Clerk from the Government Hall.

That really is a sad story. The people around did not understand the significance of being a test merchant, but the staff member himself was very clear; during the previous round of testing, his family's store revenue had at least doubled.

Instead of writing a paragraph, looking up, then writing another paragraph, and finally having to confirm if there were any errors.

At the same time, considering the large crowd and worrying about bumping into school teachers, Mrs. Marie did not dare to let Moli run around this time, but held her daughter's small hand tightly and headed to the registration desk according to the indications on the school signs.

"Moli's parent, right? Please show your Identity Card."

At the same time, any behavior requiring the collection of Identity Cards, including by security officers, is illegal; if discovered or encountered, it can be reported, and there is a reward for reporting.

The staff member at the registration desk had clearly heard the relevant publicity; even though it would have been more convenient to take Marie's Identity Card to copy the information, he did not reach out to take it.

Perhaps that is the real reason why his family wasn't selected for the test merchant list this time!

"Mom, hurry up!"
