282. Banks

What kind of good thing is that has successfully aroused everyone's curiosity.

Principal Orange Cat did not reveal the details and smiled mysteriously: "You will know in a few days."

After school, after the students left, a group of workers entered the classroom.

Virginia stayed curiously and saw what these people saw.

They stood on wooden ladders, dug holes with tools on the top of the wall, and then installed a strange machine.

"This is called a ceiling fan, driven by electricity." Principal Orange Cat said proudly: "I tried it, and it's so cool. It's much more comfortable than a person who fans himself."

One classroom was quickly installed and the workers headed to another classroom.

Principal Orange Cat pressed the switch and turned on the ceiling fan. The eight fan blades on it slowly began to rotate.

The wind is very strong, and people's hair is constantly fluttering.

"It's really cool." The elf colleague looked intoxicated.

Obina said with her waist in her waist, "I want to buy one, and put it in her own house."

"There is a very convenient fan for home use, which is placed on the ground. I have seen it in Fulin Castle." Principal Orange Cat opened his hand and roughly described it.

"It should be very expensive, right?" Vilginia said curiously.

"It will be cheaper, Lord Lord said that the fan should be popularized to thousands of households like electric lights." Principal Orange Cat said, jumping up and turning off the fan: "If it's not hot, remember to save electricity!"

Virginia left the school with a cloth bag and had a meal in the canteen at the door.

Recalling my life for several months.

She clearly felt the changes in the city, with more and more vehicles on the road, and the spacious six-lane actually began to congestion.

Then, the city lord's mansion arranged an order officer at the intersection to direct traffic.

The newly built Big Ben is already ten stories high. It has become a landmark building in the city center. It is like a lighthouse at night, releasing light.

Time can be seen several miles apart.

The prices of various handicrafts are gradually declining, but the quality is constantly improving from generation to generation.

For example, watches are now priced only one-third of the price at the time of release. The same is true for bicycles.

The factory can make more profits at a high price, but it didn't do so.

After arriving at home, Virginia fell on the bed. She took a nap and picked up a book on the nightstand to read.

This is a book she rented from the library.

Book title: Introduction to Electrical Science!

Electricity can be said to be the most mainstream and popular new study today, especially for ordinary people. Electricity is the natural power that ordinary people can master and utilize, and contains infinite possibilities.

Electric lights and fans are just the beginning. There are more applications waiting for people to discover.

...

...

A steam ship of a thousand-person class slowly sailed into the harbor and docked on the shore.

On the deck, a group of new immigrants looked at Donggang City excitedly.

The first mate and crew lowered the boat ladder: "Everyone, you can get off the boat."

The passengers took their own luggage, took the boat ladder and got off the boat and came to the shore.

"Mom! Where is the sister? How can I find her?"

"No hurry, your sister is still in school now, let's go to the ruling hall first."

Virginia met her family at noon.

Mother Shalin looked haggard and looked in a bad state. Her sister's figure was like a skeleton in the textbook, leaving only skin and bones.

"How long hasn't you eaten?" Virginia felt relieved. In her opinion, it was enough for the two of them to live.

As for enduring hunger, it is really normal in troubled times.

"I didn't eat it after getting on the boat." My sister Alica's voice was hoarse.

"Go to eat first." Virginia didn't say nonsense anymore and took the two to the school cafeteria.

The teacher didn't have to queue up to buy food, and Virginia quickly received the food distributed at noon today.

She handed it over to her mother and sister.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Vilginia picked up the water cup and filled the water into the public kettle.

After eating some things, the two of them became more elegant.

"I thought the country was in chaos, but I didn't expect it to be so prosperous here..." Shalin went to pick up some water and said while drinking: "Vilginia, your job looks good?"

"Eat and live, no problem."

In the three months of working, Virginia has paid off the loan.

She doesn't like to borrow money and keeps a lot of money at home without anyone taking care of it. If she is stolen, she will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses.

So, it's better to return it first.

By the way, limit your consumption.

I have wanted to buy too many things recently, and she is afraid that she can't control herself.

"Mother, have you gone to the ruling hall to go through the procedures?"

"I've been there and applied for a loan of five silver dollars. However, it seems that the silver dollars are not enough there, so I asked to give me a silver note, but I didn't agree."

"The silver notes are actually very useful..." Virginia brought the two to her home: "The rent here is very expensive, so you can live with me."

Elika cheered and wanted to sit on the bed.

Virginia grabbed her back collar and said, "Go to take a shower first! You're too dirty."

A shower head was installed in the toilet.

Virginia also bought soap and bought it in the subsidy of Fulinburg during the Harvest Festival.

I have to say, it's really useful!

It can easily remove sweat stains on the body, making the whole person feel much more comfortable.

After taking a bath became convenient, she developed the habit of taking a bath every day.

Of course, it is limited to summer.

After taking a shower, I took the two of them out for haircuts and bought some body clothes.

Seventy-two copper pennies were consumed.

Virginia handed the remaining copper penny to her mother Shalin's hands.

"Do you think the silver bill is really useful?"

"Of course, everything you need to exchange silver bills for silver dollars is guaranteed by the reputation of Fulinbao Bank. You also know that there are more and more people now, and silver dollar currency is destined to be insufficient. Everyone likes silver... It is not like Jinlong's denomination, it is difficult to make change, and it does not want copper penny iron coins to be too small and difficult to carry..."

"I'll go to the ruling hall tomorrow, and they will arrange work for me. If someone guarantees me, I can do some leisurely guarding work, such as night watchmen and hitting others. Are you qualified to guarantee?"

"I don't know, maybe there is one! How about the salary of these jobs?"

"The night watchman earns 5 silver dollars a month, and it's almost the same as the one who beats him. I heard that going to a factory or going to sea to fish will be higher, but it's very tiring. If it really doesn't work, I'll go farming. If you have your own land, it's better to be more at ease."

In the barber shop, Elika listened quietly to the two of them, her eyes unconsciously following the passing children.

"Do you want to eat?" Virginia asked lightly.

Elika nodded without hesitation.
