Friday, August 20, 1624.

It's coming up another weekend, and in the evening, the streets of Manchester's Long Island New District are once again flooded with commuters, eager to start shopping for the weekend's family life.

As of the end of July this year, the population of the country has exceeded 25,000 people, including some Indians who have completed naturalization education and national settlement rights review, of which the Long Island New Area of Manchester City has become the most populous urban area in the capital, with 18,000 citizens living and working here, of which nearly half are Chinese.

On the spacious side of the shopping street, the tram carriage dragged by eight heavy horses swayed to the bus stop with a crisp rattle of bells. The doors of the three carriages opened, and male citizens flocked up with large bags and small bags, while in the front women's carriages, female citizens carefully went up and down with their children in their arms.

Windproof kerosene lamps were hung early on the street lampposts, and people came and went in front of the shops. After domestic enterprises entered large-scale production this year, the prices of local goods have been reduced, and the national minimum monthly wage has been raised from 12 US dollars in 1622 to 18 US dollars now, and the economic situation of citizens' families has also steadily improved, and the average annual income of families has exceeded 300 US dollars.

European or Chinese families, who no longer worried about whether they would be punished for imitating their superiors, began to dress up their daughters with their generous savings.

The "explosive dress" set off by young women who travel through Zhongli no longer seems so abrupt in China. Except for the crop top. Dressed in Chinese and Western costumes with bare legs, shoulders, and arms in a relatively conservative style, it is not a rare sight on the street. And the Han skirt, which is decorated with a lot of tulle, is favored by young women with a unique hazy association style.

The various costumes that have long been forbidden by the Church since the Middle Ages in Europe have been ridiculed by newspaper mouthpieces in China as "hillbilly aesthetics" and "savage bigotry". The "civilized life of the superior people" in China has been consciously or unconsciously promoted in the direction of the popularization of society, and the propaganda of the high-level civilized life in China and the United States, which is full of pride in radio and newspapers, has made the young people with stronger receptivity deeply believe that it is true. And the elderly parents, after experiencing the ups and downs of fate and turmoil. In this country, where there is a novel aesthetic and vigorous vitality everywhere, it is also a blind eye to the "deviance" of the younger generations.

In Yang Wenwen's brand store, a variety of women's Hanfu summer skirts and Western-style dresses on the market this year are still selling well. Yang Wenwen brand clothing. The Manchester City Weekly newspaper has been running a large number of advertisements throughout the summer, which has won the attention of the capital's citizens, and it is only late summer and early autumn. The latest collection of autumn clothing and leather goods is also on the shelves, and many women are lingering among the rows of dazzling clothes, and from this point of view, there is not much difference between 17th- and 21st-century women.

Thanks to the development and utilization of shale oil in the past year, as well as the technological progress of stainless steel containers in oleochemicals, the line of petroleum jelly moisturizing skin care products produced by Standard Oil's cosmetics subsidiary, as well as the snow huā balm and perfume of Xinhua Chemical Company, began to be marketed in large quantities after the spring of 1624.

In a cosmetics store, seven or eight young European or Chinese girls were listening cautiously to the middle-aged female shopkeeper explaining the rules for using Vaseline hand cream, and occasionally talking to rows of perfumes from Double Bay City, Bermuda, on the glass counter. These products, which are priced at an average of only $1 to $2 in local stores, have increased by more than a dozen or twenty times in Europe. But the cautious girls were still carefully selecting the few silver coins they had finally obtained from their parents.

In various food stores, the effect of this year's agricultural harvest has begun to appear, and the rise in domestic food prices has been alleviated last year due to the strict trade of superconducting products, and the prices of various agricultural and sideline products have fallen. The price of wheat flour returned to the level of 40 cents per kilogram, and the price of rice, which had been imported at a loss, was reduced to 55 cents per kilogram; The price of potatoes and corn is only 80% of last year's; A large harvest of alfalfa. It has also caused a blowout in the slaughter output of animal husbandry products this year, and the price of beef, which has made Chinese citizens tremble, has also fallen to a level similar to that of pork; After receiving a large number of obsolete sail galen boats, the fishing company under the state-owned Agriculture, Forestry, Fishery and Animal Husbandry Group has caused the price of aquatic products to plummet by nearly half this year.

From time to time, the newspaper will publish all kinds of food knowledge, and the culinary experts Guan Yun and Ouyang Ling have made a variety of Chinese or Western recipes, which not only earn a lot of manuscript fees. It has also aroused the imitation of domestic housewives. For example, on Monday, the newspaper published the practice of "Imperial Secret Kung Pao Chicken", and within a week, sales of huā sheng, lettuce and chicken in various food stores soared.

In addition, the bulk of consumption is probably infant and toddler goods. The explosion of newborns in the second half of last year has led the Manchester City Weekly to provide a special page on this topic from the day it was first published, and hospitals around the country have also used various columns to promote it. A great deal of modern childcare and maternal health care for the 17th century began to spread, and housewives who believed in what was written in hospitals and newspapers, even if they didn't know why, basically did it.

The Ministry of Health and Education has even organized medical staff from the Mancheng National Hospital to conduct special health inspections and knowledge lectures for women and children in several major cities and towns across the country. As a result, the dairy products company under the state-owned agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry group has a booming business, and the cotton diapers and various types of pregnant women's health products produced by the state-owned pharmaceutical group are also selling well.

The State Junior School and the State Secondary Vocational School are also out, and groups of pupils, from seven or eight to their teens, line up on the side of the street in uniform or are picked up by waiting parents, while older ones walk in groups towards their neighborhoods.

According to the Ministry of Immigration, the number of adult immigrants over the age of 18 in Europe is strictly limited to 2,000 per year, with the exception of children belonging to immigrant families. In addition to the immigration of middle and senior technical talents, complete family immigrants are preferred, which leads to the current large number of young and young people in the country, if you add a large number of newborns born in the country in recent years, it is estimated that in a few years, the number of minors will exceed the adult group in China.

Such a strange population structure is a state that has not been carefully considered since the founding of the American Republic of China. The troubles that come with it. In 1624, a budget of $300,000 was allocated for special social services for young children and infants, which could only guarantee the most basic social welfare guarantees. I'm afraid that the whole country will have to revolve around a group of children. Although the financial pressure makes it difficult for the government to take a breath, as long as they survive a few years, these children are more receptive to new things and ideas. It can become a new generation of new force in the construction and development of this country.

From this point of view, the establishment of a more efficient Chinese immigration channel in the Ming Dynasty and the increase of the Chinese adult and youth population may also be one of the original intentions of the current "Atlantic Checkers" plan. Today's rate of more than 4,000 Ming Dynasty Chinese immigrants per year is clearly not enough to ensure that a certain proportion of the population is expected to be met by some members of Congress.

Another public carriage stopped at the corner of the street, and the rush hour crowd made the ** people patrolling the street highly nervous. Students walk down the street humming songs, housewives who have accidentally lost their children screaming, pulling and arguing over the inevitable collisions, men chatting and laughing on the side of the street with cigarettes in their mouths, and young couples standing shyly at each other in the far corners of the block's green belt......

A weekend of twilight. The same scenery can be seen on the streets of Manchu, West Point, Silver Valley and Twin Bays in Bermuda, and three years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the American Republic of China has finally beaten out the rhythmic music that belongs to the lives of ordinary people.

Once a mason in the Heidelberg countryside of Germany, Rudolf. Wolfgang was very happy today and was heading home with a huge package. There were so many things to buy that he couldn't even squeeze into the bus and carriage, and had to stop and rest every 100 meters. The reason for such excitement is because in this week, he came to the door four times with joy. Celebrate at home today.

The first happy event was that he was promoted. He will be the head of the construction team of Oriental Construction Company in the future of Butterfly Island (Guadeloupe) at the level of department manager.

Nearly three years have passed since the immigration in the second half of 1621, and the honest Rudolph has taken his family of eight from indentured slavery to the current formal settlement right. The monthly salary has also jumped from $24 at the beginning to $50 today, which can be described as conscientious and hard-working.

The second happy event was that his eldest son, seventeen-year-old Aven, was admitted to the officer preparatory class of the Long Island Naval Academy with excellent grades! The son's letter of acceptance went directly to the Oriental Construction Company on Monday, causing a sensation among all the workers in the company.

Since the Middle Ages, officers have been born into the aristocratic elite class, and ordinary commoners, even if they have the fabulous shit luck to get rich, are doomed to have no relationship with the nobility for generations. Even until the beginning of the 19th century, it was clearly stipulated in the armies of European countries that the names of soldiers should not appear in the war reports under any circumstances, and the merit and honor always belonged to the officers.

Now, the fate of a down-and-out mason descendant who has entered the officer preparatory class at the Long Island Naval Academy and who in two years can become a veritable second lieutenant in the Navy is simply unthinkable. It is said that this is the first batch of naval reserve officer cadets recruited by the Long Island Naval Academy, with a total number of only 12 people, most of whom are the children of active naval officers and sailors or sailors of the merchant fleet, and the best of them is the son of Mr. Monty, the general manager of the Manchester City Inland Waterway Transport Company, who has just turned sixteen, but no one knows that this Ruyter will grow up to become an admiral of the Netherlands in the original history.

The third happy event is that his fifteen-year-old second son, Frey, who graduated from the National Junior High School this summer, also received an admission letter to the "Ivy League" higher education school today, and he is also a free student with a bursary, instead of entering the National Secondary Vocational Education School like other students.

What is an Ivy League of Higher Education? This is a private school that only opened this year, and the chairman of the school behind it is Zhang Ruohan, the editor-in-chief of Manchester City Weekly. It is said that Zhang Ruohan submitted an application to the Ministry of Health and Education for nearly half a year before it was approved at the beginning of this year, which is a social pilot for the country to officially open up national higher education in the future.

The young man who pursues "originality is life" has also plagiarized a handful of history very rarely, and the name of the school is extremely shameless!

It is said that the students who can get into the Ivy League private schools are either from families with deep pockets, families of high-ranking technicians, or families of government civil servants. Not to mention the extremely strict requirements for entrance exam scores, not to mention the huge tuition fees, and even the permanent residence of the family has become one of the mandatory requirements.

Therefore, it stands to reason that it is impossible for Frey to be admitted to an Ivy League higher education school with his official right of residence, even if Frey's grades in the national junior high school have always been ranked first.

The reason is the fourth joy, because Frey's brother Evan has become a cadet of the officer preparatory class of the Long Island Naval Academy, which is considered to have joined the active duty of the army, and belongs to the status of future officers, and the family registration also hitched on Aven's ride, directly mentioning the right of permanent settlement! Xiang Wei, the principal of the National Junior High School, who was very fond of this studious child and knew the news, immediately submitted Frey's graduation results to the student management department of the Ivy League higher education school, and quickly admitted him to the free school.

The happiness came so often and suddenly that Rudolph was too excited to express the excitement of the week, and Rudolph's wife was busy cleaning up the house for several days, so that she could celebrate the four great occasions with the most sumptuous family feast on the evening of the weekend.

A dinner of dozens of dollars was held at Rudolph's home, and many of the neighbors became guests at the banquet, and people who ate expensive food purchased for almost a month's salary did not hesitate to congratulate the Rudolph family or give small gifts. Even a few housewives with sons were knocking on the idea of Suna, the eldest daughter of the Rudolph family.

In a high-end community in the north of the Long Island New Area, Chang Kun, director of the Department of Chinese Immigration Affairs Management of the Ministry of Immigration, has not yet started in the dining room on one side...... (To be continued)
