Chapter 24 Selected Compared to how difficult it was to be selected by the choir, Levi was now looking at Feng Zi with a look of amazement. At this moment, she had black hair and was wearing simple linen clothes. Her originally fair and delicate face was dotted with some freckles last night, and her blue eyes were covered with black contact lenses. Although she still has outstanding looks and unique temperament, she can't be seen from her original appearance at all. What really surprised Levi was her legs. Since she woke up early in the morning, Fengzi suddenly no longer had a limp! Even before Levi put makeup on her, her face was still pale, even paler than before, but now she has become a person with all her limbs intact. "You weren't pretending to be lame all this time, were you?" Levi looked at her suspiciously. When Fengzi heard this, she couldn't help but clench her teeth, and she grabbed Levi's arm even harder, with a vicious look, as if she was chewing his flesh. "You are the one pretending to be lame! Your whole family is pretending to be lame!" Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Levi just shook his head indifferently and didn't ask any more questions. Everyone has some little secrets of their own, just like Levi himself. He is not completely unreserved about his style. It can even be said that he retains a lot.
"Let me make it clear first. Even if you are no longer lame, I will not change my words." As he spoke, he looked around and soon found a middle-aged woman in an alley not far away who was also looking for someone. Levi walked towards the woman with his arm in hand. The woman also saw them, but she didn't say anything first, just looked them up and down. Until Levi asked. "Introduced by Zhou Laosan?" Hearing this title, a smile appeared on the woman's face and she became enthusiastic. "Yes, yes, it was Uncle Zhou from next door who contacted us. Zhao Huan and Zhao Ling, right? These are your ID cards. The information is entered in advance. They are the old authentication ones, and they don't require a photo check." Li Wei took the ID cards she handed over and gave the one with "Zhao Ling" on it to Feng Zi. "Uncle Zhou should have told you that I have additional requests. You still need to cooperate with us today." The woman's smile grew a little warmer. "I know, I know, but he also said that this part of the reward is yours." As she spoke, Levi had already pulled out ten hundred-dollar bills from his pocket. Under the woman's shining gaze, he counted out seven of them. "I'll give you 700 first, and then I'll give you the remaining 300 after this is over." It was impossible for Levi to carry so much cash with him, so he rented a house near the church and temporarily put some things that were inconvenient to carry in the house, and only carried a small amount of money with him. After receiving the agreed payment, the woman seemed to have done this kind of work many times, and naturally became the "mother" of Li Wei and Feng Zi, and took them to the line to sign up for the church choir. The line was indeed very long, and most of them were mothers who brought their children to sign up. The church choir had a fixed age limit and only recruited teenagers aged 8-18, and the ratio of men to women was -. But after all, it is a choir that is in the spotlight. It is said that the bishop uses the White Tower Singing event every year to help the workers in Yuguan District obtain a lot of subsidies and funds, so the selection criteria for registration every year are particularly strict. Children living in Yuguang District are more or less malnourished. Their parents, who are laborers, have no time to pay attention to their personal hygiene. Few of them can even read and learn any knowledge. This means that even though there are many people signing up, the vast majority of them will be rejected on the spot.
According to his real age, Levi's original body in this world had just turned 18 three months old, and Fengzi is almost 20 years old this year. However, the ages on their ID cards have now been changed to seventeen and sixteen. Judging from their appearance, it is indeed difficult to tell their real age. After waiting in line for a whole morning, it was finally Fengzi and Li Wei's turn at around 11 o'clock in the morning. The pastor who was in charge of registration and on-site screening was a little numb at this time. He lowered his head and first registered Levi and Fengzi's ID cards. When he raised his head and saw their faces, he was obviously dazed. "Pastor, I'm not bragging! When I was young, I was the most beautiful girl in the area. My son and daughter look like me! They are obedient and sensible. When they were young, my damn husband even taught them how to read. They definitely meet the requirements of the church!" The woman was very dedicated. While praising herself, she also did not forget to bring along Levi and her grace. The pastor nodded after hearing her words, but after looking at Levi and Fengzi for a while, he did not say anything first. Instead, he took out two photos from the side, compared the two people carefully, and then shook his head silently. The woman hired by Levi thought that the pastor was dissatisfied, which made her nervous. She was afraid that Levi and his man would not be selected and she would not be able to get the final payment. "What do you think is wrong? Is their hair too long? Or their nails uncut? Don't just shake your head!" The pastor put down the two wanted photos in his hand, and without answering the woman's question first, he lowered his head and put a big check mark behind the two people's information on the registration form. "Both of your children are fine and meet the selection criteria. But this is only a temporary selection. The church will arrange training for them. If any problems that do not meet the requirements arise during this period, we will still eliminate them." Hearing this, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile of satisfaction appeared on her face. "Take a look at this employment contract. If there is no problem, let your son and daughter go in directly. They cannot go home during this period, but you can visit them at any time. The church will arrange food and accommodation for them and ensure that they are well taken care of." The woman signed the contract without any hesitation. At the same time, she looked reluctant and earnestly reminded Li Wei and Fengzi to be obedient in the church, just like a real mother. Of course, taking advantage of this opportunity, Levi quietly stuffed the remaining three hundred yuan into the woman's hand. The two of them looked at each other tacitly for the last time, announcing the success and end of the transaction. Finally, a nun dressed as a nun led them both into the church, where dozens of selected children were already staying. (End of this chapter)
