Chapter 646

The war came so suddenly.

For a long time, peace, hedonism, paralyze people's hearts, so that when the Bauhinia Federation suddenly declared war, the border defense line almost collapsed, and the powerful air defense network firepower was easily captured without firing a single shot, which made the armored airship drive straight in and deeply shocked the kingdom.

Of course, it also includes Wu Ming's city.

His first feeling about the coming of war is hatred. After all, in troubled times, the survival rate of a three-year-old baby is too difficult to guarantee. His second feeling is helplessness.

For people like Wu Ming, war may be an opportunity, but this war is too early! He can't do anything, and he has to place his safety on the stirlings, which is really an unbearable thing for him who is used to controlling everything.

Although the armored airship did not drop the cruise bomb in the end, which proved to be a false alarm, the outbreak of the war had a huge impact on the Stirling family.

First of all, James is out of work.

He is a very successful salesman. Every year, he can support a large family with the Commission of his business, and buy cars and apartments. Unfortunately, his company produces luxury goods. In wartime, with the control of materials and the service for the war, his business plummeted and his company went bankrupt. Naturally, he had to be laid off.

To make matters worse, although James made a lot of money before, most of them were thrown into the stock exchange and futures market to earn high profits.

Originally, there was no problem, but now, with the coming of the war, the stock market completely collapsed, almost all of which fell to the limit. The original dividend was not expected, and even the equity certificate became waste paper. Many companies James bought collapsed, so the stock was worthless.

As the economy worsened, James first sold his car, then the family moved out of the villa and rented a duplex apartment.

Mrs. Sterling also had to bear the pain to sell a cabinet of expensive clothes, put on coarse cloth clothes, and began to work hard for the family's livelihood.

Wu Ming looked at all this in silence, but now he is no different from ordinary babies, and he has no power to change his fate.

The only thing we can do is to make our food intake "normal" and take care of our two younger brothers and sisters to reduce the family burden.

With their family's current economic situation, they could not afford to hire a nanny, so Jenna was dismissed.

Fortunately, James is an optimist, and he has no time for decadence. A family and three starving children make him have no time for decadence.

He works hard every day to deliver his resume. Perhaps because of his professional experience, he successfully promoted himself and got a job as a picker in the post office. He is responsible for classifying mail and parcels in various places. Although his salary is meager, it is a great victory against the backdrop of many unemployed people.

On the day he got the job, James held his head high, like a general who won a battle. Mrs. Sterling even added a ham and a bottle of wine to her dinner.

After a hard time, when Wu Ming was five years old, good news kept coming.

First of all, the two great powers stopped fighting, the Bauhinia Federation took the initiative to retreat, and seemed to have signed a 20-year non aggression agreement with the kingdom. The arrival of long lost peace was cheered by the whole country.

With the recovery of the economy, there are more and more things in the shops and more choices on the dining table.

At night.

The gas lamp was incandescent, and on the dining table, the five members of the Stirling family formed a circle.

With a spoon, Wu Ming was able to eat independently and basically take care of himself. He didn't worry the Stirling couple much.

However, the two four-year-old brothers and sisters sitting in the stroller were also very crying. From time to time, they spilled vegetable soup or pulled off the tablecloth, which made Mrs. Sterling have to correct several times.

"After the truce, the stock market began to recover. Although several of those companies went bankrupt, there was still one that survived..."

James was carrying a large glass of beer and obviously had enough sex to talk about: "I have a hunch that it will soar, honey, everything will be better... After saving a sum of money, I'll go to business and let our life go back to the track it used to be."

Mrs. sterling was feeding Brandon a milkshake, and this guy always spilled a little bit maliciously, which made his whole body covered.

Hearing this, she turned and said in a firm voice, "honey, you forget one thing. Little Steven is five years old. We need to prepare for his studies."

"Well, not bad!"

James nodded solemnly: "knowledge can change fate. Our three children will go to school in the future. They can't go to the factory like the ward family next door. As you and I know, it's a monster that eats people and doesn't spit bones. Ordinary men and women will be thankful if they can live over 30 years old..."

He looked at Wu Ming: "Steven, you have to remember that you will become a respectable person in the upper class in the future!"

"I know!"

Wu Ming replied cleverly that he had no interest in getting up early and working in the dark like those ants, giving birth to a large number of children and dying most of them. The rest of them were fed by luck, and then living the same life as adults.

"Steven, you are always very smart. Unfortunately, I could have sent you to the best noble school..."

James sighed helplessly: "only by winning at the starting line from the beginning can you stand higher, see farther than others and get more opportunities!"

"Honey... Our little Steven is the best. Even ordinary schools can succeed, right?"

Mrs. Sterling touched Wu Ming's head.

"Well, I'm the best!"

After drinking the last mouthful of soup, Wu Ming also had expectations in his heart: "now, should I be able to contact more things? But in this world, why haven't I come into contact with the existence of transcendence? Is it that they are hidden too deeply? "

In the twinkling of an eye, it was late at night.

In the silence, Brandon and Angelina fell asleep after several quarrels.

Now there is no previous conditions, and there is no basis for sleeping in separate rooms. Angelina falls asleep next to Wu Ming.

He opened his eyes, looked at the other side sleeping, some baby fat face, silent sigh.

Slowly, Wu Ming climbs up and takes a drop posture. Wu Ming immediately finds out the situation in the sea of spirit. The original chaos is arranged, and the light is in full bloom.

After slowly drawing up a little mental energy and nourishing all parts of the body, Wu Ming found out the development of all parts of the body, and nodded with satisfaction: "after several years of warm cultivation, my muscles and internal organs can almost match those of a teenager, and my strength is the same!"

At this point, you can begin to practice physical combat and martial arts skills.

"It's just that... The world can't produce internal breathing, and it can't practice internal power. Do you still have to explore your own training skills, just like Searle?"

Wu Ming opened his eyes helplessly, and immediately saw a scene of horror.

Angelina didn't know when she had woken up. She was staring at his brother curiously.

"Go to sleep!"

Anyway, the cultivation of mental strength is all in the process of knowing the sea. At most, Angelina saw her elder brother not sleeping in the middle of the night, and she got up and made a very strange gesture. Even if she said it, it was no big deal, and she might even be regarded as a dream.

Wu Ming rolled his eyes and pinched her face.

"Wow..."

Who knew Angelina was ungrateful at all, and she burst into tears.

As soon as she cried, Brandon was woken up. The sharper cry was very penetrating and spread to the outside.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? "

Mrs. Sterling opened the door and saw Wu Ming rubbing his eyes: "my sister just cried and woke up my brother!"

Mrs. Sterling reluctantly came forward to appease Angelina and Brandon. A few curses came from the outside. The sound insulation of her husband's apartment was not very good. Wu Ming had heard some unpleasant sounds several times. This night, she was woken up again. The neighbors who had to work in the morning tomorrow were angry.

……

In front of a huge school.

Wu Ming, with a cloth bag and a cap on his back, looks like a little adult. He follows James to the reception room.

"Hello, sir. Who can I speak to?"

Inside, a fat man with a bad nose stretched out his head and asked in a loud voice.

"I'm looking for Mr. Kyle Wilver. I have an appointment to check in the children."

"Yes, just a moment, please!"

Wu Ming saw that the fat man picked up a telephone next to him, which was old-fashioned, had a handle and had to be connected. He shook it violently and immediately picked up the receiver and said a few words.

"Are you Mr. Stirling, please?"

"Exactly!"

"Come in, Mr. Kyle is in the middle office building, Room 401 on the fourth floor, waiting for you!"

Fat man opened the railings and let James and Wu Ming into the campus.

The purpose is a big playground. Many students in uniform look at them curiously, but none of them dare to follow the office building.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Stirling!"

In a room on the fourth floor, as soon as Kyle saw James, he said, "and you, little gentleman!"

He gave Wu Ming a smile and immediately said to James, "our school tuition is 50 yuan a year. If you agree, you can go through the formalities now, and your boy can go to school today."

"Yes!"

At the moment of consent, Wu Mingxian saw a slight pain in James' face. After all, this is the income of ordinary people for nearly half a year.

Knowledge and education in this world are never free.
