Time flew by, and half a month passed before he knew it. Just as Peter was enjoying palace life, some places were slowly changing.
Nedra secretly put on the bra with the red armband, feeling strange and happy. She didn't know what the "e" on it meant, but it was her size.
After putting it on, I looked at it in front of the mirror in the dormitory, and it was so beautiful.
Nedra felt even more grateful.
She was glad that she was selected to become a red armband at the beginning, otherwise how could she have such treatment now?
Not only do I live in a good place now, I can take a free shower and eat two meals, and I can also receive welfare benefits.
I heard that the corset she was wearing was provided to Notre Dame by an amazing lady named Vivian.
Not only does she have it, but every girl has the red and white armbands from Notre Dame.
Each person wears two pieces. Nedra was a little shy after putting them on, but found that it was much easier to move around. In this way, she didn’t have to feel too cumbersome when running in the morning.
You know, every time she runs, she always falls behind.
Nedela looked at herself beautifully, and then a sound of footsteps hurriedly approached from outside. Nedela quickly put on her clothes. After a while, a girl from the same dormitory came in. She glanced at the dormitory where only Nedela was alone.
:
"Nedra, what are you doing standing still? Go and get welfare."
Nedra said "Ah" and said, "I took it."
The girl glanced at Nedra, understood, and looked at Nedra's size with some envy. She heard a rumor that those with letters D and above had the opportunity to enter the palace as maids.
Even if you are an ordinary maid, you will reach the sky in one step.
It's a pity that she doesn't have enough.
The girl shook off her disturbing thoughts and said:
"Nedra, it's not that. Just go to the square and you'll know."
Nedra nodded, now they have another benefit, that is, they only need to work six days out of seven, and they have one day that they can arrange freely. Even the nuns will not care about them on this day.
After the girl finished speaking, she ran away, probably to inform others. Nedra girded her waist, packed herself up, and hurried towards the square.
As she walked, Nedra couldn't help but feel a little strange. Why did some of the armbands hold a farm tool in their hands?
Nedra thought it was someone shoveling dirt at first, but then she realized that it didn't look like it. There was more stuff than shoveling dirt.
Nedra walked to the square and found that there was a long queue. She waited patiently at the back. When she waited, she gave her name and the nuns registered and pointed to the side.
When Nedra walked to the place where she received her things, a nun gave her a similar shovel and told her how to use it.
In addition, the nun also told her that she would go back home today and inform her villagers to exchange the old farm tools for new ones at the Ministry of Interior with the same functions.
And, this is an order!
However, considering that some armbands live far away, we gave them an extra half day off.
Nedra took the shovel and left the square with some confusion. When she returned to the dormitory, she didn't see Barbaria. Nedra left a note for her. There were only a few words written on the note.
words.
"Square, get the farm tools."
Learning to read is also an auxiliary course at Notre Dame, but few people take it because it is too strenuous.
Nedra is now mainly learning to be a chef, and she now has certain skills in making French pastries.
After returning home, Nedra told her father about the farm tools, and his father immediately became energetic.
He hurriedly took the farm tools and went to the field to experiment. Nedra also followed. Both of them were surprised to find that this farm tool was so easy to use.
The old father worked twice as fast with this farm tool, and he didn't even feel tired after working for a long time.
In the past, the old father would have taken it easy.
Marcus looked at his daughter with relief. It was too difficult for him to have eight children in his family. Nedra was the eldest.
Unexpectedly, since Nedela became a red armband, the family's burden has been reduced a lot. Not only has the tax been reduced, but Nedela's rations have basically been saved, and the other children have eaten more.
More importantly, Marcus never expected that Nedra would still receive money.
20 kopecks a month!
This simply surprised everyone.
Since Nedra received the monthly money from her family, her status has suddenly risen, and her neighbors are very envious. People who come to inquire about how to become a red armband almost cross her threshold.
When had Marcus ever been so glorious and treated his daughter as a treasure?
Today, his daughter brought back such a useful farm tool. Hearing that she could exchange old tools for new ones, and that she had originally ordered to notify the villagers, Marcus immediately took care of this matter on him.
However, there is a relatively harmonious atmosphere in Nedra's house, but not in Barbaria's house.
Both were state-owned serfs, but Barbaria was not the eldest child in the family, she was the third child. She had a married brother and an unmarried sister, as well as younger brothers and sisters.
An hour after Nedra left the dormitory, Barbaria also came back. Barbaria saw Nedra's note. The two of them were literate together and barely recognized it.
But Barbaria hesitated, she didn't want to go home.
Barbaria stayed in the room for about half an hour. She also received a bra. She was very excited at first because she also heard the news. Although she was not as old as Nedela, it was enough and she looked forward to one day.
Can enter the palace as a maid.
But now when I think about what I am facing, I feel anxious.
She would rather work for seven days than take a vacation every seven days.
While Barbaria was staying in the dormitory, she suddenly heard a scream outside.
Barbaria was stunned for a moment. This is an institution under the jurisdiction of Notre Dame. No one should dare to make trouble.
She quickly went out to take a look.
There were already some armbands looking around, and Barbaria saw a red armband being executed.
The woman's armband was kneeling on the ground, her top was taken off, and there were blood-red whip marks on her chest and back. The one wielding the whip was a nun.
Barbaria was very surprised. Although the nuns had a high status, they usually didn't punish them much except for breaking discipline. What happened now?
With a "pop" sound, the nun lashed out with the whip again. The body of the punished red armband trembled violently and screamed, and a bloody scar was left on her back, showing no mercy.
The nun did not stop Red Armband from screaming. She glanced at the onlookers with stern eyes. Her calm and indifferent expression disappeared and she said sternly:
"I issued an order to you and went back to tell you that the villagers were going to change their farm tools, but Freda was lazy and didn't carry out the order at all. Did you all memorize the Holy Mother's decree in vain?"
Hearing what the nun said, Barbaria suddenly realized, and then panic surged in her heart.
