Chapter: 200
At this time, Melissa was sitting at the dining table, working hard on the exercises in the book under the light of the gas lamp, while Benson was nestled on the sofa, reading "Elementary Accounting Course".
Shaking out the full three pages of letter paper, Klein looked at it with some anticipation and some fear: "... I am very glad to receive your letter, and it reminds me of my life in the past few years. Unfortunately, Wei Erqi and Naya have left us forever..."
"I attended their funerals separately and felt the great grief of their parents, two young men who should have had a bright and wonderful future..."
"Fate is always unpredictable. No one can know what will happen to us in the next moment. The older I am, the more things I have seen, the more I can feel the fragility and helplessness of being a human being."
"...About the historical information about the main peak of the Hornages you mentioned, I remember that the archaeologist Mr. John Joseph once published a monograph, describing in detail what he saw and heard on the main peak of the Hornages Mountains, He found several ancient structures dating back more than a thousand years."
"What makes every historian and archaeologist feel ashamed is that we lack a way to accurately locate the age. We can only make rough judgments based on the style of the building, the characteristics of the murals, and a small number of recognizable characters."
"It's hard to believe that there are human settlements on such a high mountain. Mr. Joseph has sufficient evidence to show that those humans have developed their own civilization, a unique civilization. The specific situation is very clear in the letter. It's hard to describe, I suggest you go to the de Vere library and try to see if you can borrow that monograph, believe me, the library donated by Sir De Vere has more books than the one set up by the city government."
"The name of that monograph is "Research on the Ancient Relics of the Main Peak of Hornakis", published by Loen People Publishing House."
"In addition, there are some papers that mentioned the relevant situation. They were published in journals such as "New Archeology" and "Analogie Archeology". The specific title and issue number are..."
...
Klein finished reading word by word, silently repeating the titles of monographs and papers mentioned by his tutor several times.
Immediately afterwards, he turned out the letter paper, found a pen, and expressed his gratitude in written language.
"Melissa, send this letter for me tomorrow. This is the postage." Klein placed the packaged letter and the excess postage beside his sister's book.
Melissa took a look, pursed her lips and said, "Klein, the postage doesn't need to be so much."
"Yes, postage doesn't need to be so much, but girls need some pocket money." Klein responded with a smile, "I think Selena should have told you this."
Seeing that Melissa was still a little resistant, he hurriedly added: "It can help you buy the materials and tools you want."
"Tools..." Melissa repeated in a low voice, moved her eyes to the book, nodded slightly, "Okay."
The corners of Klein's mouth suddenly turned up, and he walked briskly back to the sofa.
"Excellent persuasion, and accurately found Melissa's weakness." Benson gave a thumbs up and laughed in a low voice.
Klein cleared his throat and replied solemnly: "Then how can I convince you? Your self-study should focus on grammar and classical literature. Of course, basic mathematics and logic are equally important."
Based on the curriculum of public schools and grammar schools, and the content of the university entrance examination, Klein can almost grasp the general direction of the "civil service examination" that has not yet been born.
Benson touched his hairline and laughed at himself, "In front of those books, I feel like a curly-haired baboon."
"But they are indeed useful enough." Klein said firmly with a smile.
At this moment, Melissa put down her pen, stood up, walked to the sofa and said, "Benson, Klein, this Sunday is Selena's birthday, she and her parents would like to invite our family to the dinner party , are you free?"
"I shouldn't have a problem." Klein thought for a while.
It just so happens that I can meet friends who know my sister, so that I won't be able to find anyone to inquire about anything that happens to Melissa in the future!
"Me too." Benson combed his hair with his fingers, "Looks like we have to consider a birthday present for Miss Selena."
Klein smiled and said, "Leave this matter to Melissa. She knows Miss Selina better than us, and what we need to do is what a gentleman should do, pay for it."
"It's the first time I've heard someone describe laziness so beautifully." Benson shook his head and smiled lightly.
Klein smiled back: "This is the role of grammar and classical literature." JrNovels.com
