Turn on the switch, and the small piece of iron under the electromagnet jumps up and is firmly sucked at the lower end of the electromagnet. When they broke off the iron piece with their hands, Xu Jingsun and Chen Maolian felt the invisible power. The electromagnet was assembled by the two of them themselves under the guidance of a young female teacher, and there was no suction between the core on the electromagnet and the iron sheet below. Just flipping a switch can create invisible power out of thin air.

“…… This...... Is it hard to say that there really is no such thing as magnetism? Xu Jingsun did not have the joy of learning the theory, his voice weakened, as if something inside had been destroyed.

Xu Yuanzhi felt that he could understand Xu Jingsun's feelings. The more you have contact with the world, the more you want to know, but before Zhao Jiaren introduced science, the Chinese intelligentsia used 'qi' to explain many things in general terms. As time passed, the more Qi was meant to be used as an alternative interpretation, it became a concept that many people agreed upon. It can be seen that Xu Jingsun really believes in the existence of such a thing as magnetism.

The old men looked ugly, and Liu Hongxia, who was the experimental teacher next to him, had a surprised expression on her face. In her life, the older ones were more knowledgeable. Whether it is her uncle Liu Meng, or the school's principal Zhao Jiaren, or those teachers in the school. They all took on the responsibility of teaching knowledge to Liu Hongxia. Even if they need to learn in non-majors, they will not show a helpless expression because of learning.

More importantly, these people are jinshi. The same jinshi as Li Hongxiayan, the knowledgeable principal of the middle school.

Maybe it was Liu Hongxia's gaze that made Xu Yuanzhi feel hurtful, or Liu Hongxia's age made Xu Yuanzhi feel inferior. In short, Xu Yuanzhi said to Liu Hongxia: "Liu ...... Mr. Liu. We don't have to experiment here anymore, so you can go down first. ”

For Xu Yuanzhi, such a laboratory teacher who was arranged by the school has the same status as an errand servant. Even with Xu Yuanzhi's current identity, his statement is polite enough. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the tall young girl and said very politely: "Teacher Xu, the laboratory is used for experiments, and when the experiment is done, I am responsible for packing up the equipment and then closing the door." If you want to talk, go outside. ”

Faced with such a response, Xu Yuanzhi was stunned. Then he realized that he, the Jinshi, was an outsider here.

Fortunately, the three Jinshi are all people who understand the rules, and they don't get angry when they are told like this, so they all get up and leave. Walking to the door of the house, Xu Yuanzhi turned his head to look at Liu Hongxia, and saw that she was skillfully disassembling the experimental equipment, just like she was skilled in assembling the experimental equipment before. Not only is her movements skillful, but Liu Hongxia's attitude is also serious and focused.

Turning his head to leave the laboratory, Xu Yuanzhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Zhao Jiaren was not only knowledgeable, but also had the means to be a royal servant. Even a little girl was educated to look like this, no wonder Zhao Jiaren's fleet was able to set off from Fuzhou, run to Fusangzhou, 20,000 miles away, and after experiencing a 100,000-mile sea route, he could return to Fuzhou with all the local crops.

Liu Hongxia didn't know that she was praised by Xu Yuanzhi Jinshi in her heart, and for her, only after cleaning up the laboratory and returning the key to the administrator teacher could she go to eat. The chili pepper from Fusang Zhou is not an open seasoning, and there is a spicy tang that she likes very much at dinner today, and according to Liu Hongxia's observation, her taste is a very common type among girls.

Things turned out to be as Liu Hongxia expected, and when she completed all the processes and hurried to the canteen with her rice bowl, the rest were very ordinary dishes. I had no choice but to order half a roast duck and eat it slowly. Zhao Jiaren's side is working for five days and resting for one day, and today happens to be the fifth day. After eating dinner and packing up her things, Liu Hongxia reluctantly embarked on the way home.

The school was very close to home, and Liu Hongxia's uncle, Liu Meng, was in charge of the construction of Mawei after returning from Sado Island. The family also moved from Quanzhou to Mawei. It's a good thing that Uncle is back, but Liu Hongxia's life is a little not easy. Because her aunt did not let Liu Hongxia's cousin submit an application for volunteering in the army, she was scolded by her uncle Liu Meng after she came back. It is said that he also made a move. After that, Liu Hongxia did better and better in school, and Liu Meng brought up this matter from time to time. As a result, Liu Hongxia was somewhat isolated at home.

Although Uncle Liu Meng later found out about the matter, he also tried to reverse it. But the human heart is difficult to soothe after the mustard, and Liu Meng's efforts have limited effect. Now I feel very awkward every time I go home.

But this is not a reason not to go home, not to mention that Liu Hongxia also has something to tell her uncle Liu Meng. When she returned home, she had already had dinner at home, which made Liu Hongxia breathe a sigh of relief. If you don't go to the dinner table, you can save a lot of trouble. She pulled her uncle Liu Meng out for a walk.

The horsetail in May was not hot, Liu Meng went out and walked a few steps, so he asked Liu Hongxia, "Hongxia, do you think that there are fewer mosquitoes than in the first two years?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Liu Hongxia also nodded violently. In the first few years, when horsetail was first developed, mosquitoes were overwhelming. Patriotic Health Month, which is now held once a year, was held once a year, and at that time, it was a patriotic health week, and there were six days a month to participate in various activities to eradicate pests and diseases in addition to publicity. At that time, Liu Hongxia felt that this was probably just a blind toss, how mosquitoes in Fujian were. I didn't expect that in a few years, it really reduced mosquitoes. Now when you go out at night, you don't have to worry about bugs hitting your face outside.

It's just that Liu Hongxia is not here to discuss living conditions, she continued: "Uncle, I'm about to graduate." The school asked me to make a choice, one was to join the army formed by Zhao Zhizhou and work in the army's communications research institute. One is to transfer to the normal major as a student, teaching while studying. I'd like to ask Uncle what you mean. ”

Liu Mengping is decisive and does not drag his judgment into the mud, but this time he was silent. He knew about this request, because the school had already asked Liu Meng's opinion before making the request. For this reason, Liu Meng also went to see Zhao Jiaren.

When Liu Hongxia was brought out of the ravine in Fujian, Liu Meng's purpose was very simple, he just wanted to do his best to pull his relatives out of the poor life in the poor mountains. At that time, Liu Meng only knew that Zhao Jiaren and Zhao County Lieutenant welcomed everyone to bring their families, and he thought at that time that even if he didn't work for long, at least let his relatives eat a few more days.

Liu Hongxia is a child that Liu Meng likes very much, but for this girl, Liu Meng's idea is to raise her well, and then find a good family to marry her. He didn't expect that Liu Hongxia would one day be recruited by the Navigation Guild with excellent academic performance.

Even if he doesn't know that men and women are equal and improve the status of women, women can stand up for half a day, which is Zhao Jiaren's deep-rooted political philosophy. After going to see Zhao Jiaren for his niece, Liu Meng could still clearly feel that Zhao Jiaren was indeed ready to entrust Liu Hongxia and others with important tasks. So Liu Meng said bluntly, "Zhizhou, Hongxia is a girl, and she will get married and have children in a few years." When the time comes, the errands you give her will still be unattended. So why bother? ”

Sure enough, Zhao Jiaren replied happily: "As long as Hongxia is capable, what if she marries?" After getting married, I don't just do housework, I can go to the canteen for dinner, I don't think the food in the canteen is delicious, there are so many restaurants outside. If you feel that there is no one to clean your home, pay for a babysitter. Liu Meng, you also know what kind of treatment we give to capable people. What did you have when you first came to me, and how much you have earned over the years by your ability! Hongxia can be half as capable as you, does she still have to worry about life? Anything that can be solved with money is not difficult! ”

Liu Meng hurriedly retorted: "Hu Yuelian came forward for a family feud. She got revenge, isn't she married? My Hongxia is just a common girl, why do you want to do her in Zhizhou? ”

"Why can't the girl rely on her own ability to make a world?" Zhao Jiaren asked Liu Meng rhetorically, "So many people gossip about Hu Yuelian, and Hu Yuelian has less money in her pocket?" Or does she invest less money than others take? When Hu Yuelian's children grow up, will they feel that Hu Yuelian has embarrassed them? Your children are proud of you, and Hu Yuelian's children will be proud of her. If Hongxia has an achievement, her children will also be proud of her. Liu Meng, don't tell me, you will listen to what others say! ”

Thinking of this conversation, Liu Meng's wavering mind was firm. He asked Liu Hongxia, "What do you want to do in these two?" ”

Liu Hongxia bit her lip and walked a few steps silently, she said uneasily: "Uncle, I'm worried that I won't be able to do well in the communications research institute in the army......

"But you really want to go." When Liu Meng made a decision, his words became extremely impactful.

Hearing that her uncle meant to support herself, Liu Hongxia also said what was in her heart, "It's because I want to go, that is, I really want to do a good job, so I'm worried about whether I can do it well." ”

"Humph!" Liu Meng couldn't help but snort, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "This idea doesn't make sense. ”

"Why?" Liu Hongxia was a little confused by her uncle's words.

Liu Meng said to his niece in a non-sarcastic tone as much as possible: "There is no causal connection between what you want to do well and what you can do." Hongxia, think about it, every time you suddenly realize, which time is not based on your research and reflection on the mistakes you have made? ”

Even if it was night, Liu Meng could feel that the niece around him had the kind of energy after a sudden realization.

"You admire Hu Yuelian very much, every time we fight, we don't really care if she does a good job or not. All we care about is whether she gets the job done. Her task is to deal with the rebellious enemy, and as long as we don't encounter any more resistance from the enemy when we get on the ship, we praise her for doing a good job. That's our standard of good and bad. Liu Meng continued to give examples. And Liu Hongxia also nodded violently in the dark, she felt that what Uncle said was too right.

"As for what you said about doing a good job, I understand that you are worried that on the basis of meeting the standards, you are not doing as well as other people who meet the standards. I don't know if I'm right. Liu Meng continued to analyze his niece's thoughts.

"Yes! yes, uncle. Sometimes there are only two of us and I want to be chosen. But the people around me are actually very good at studying, and many of them work harder than me! Liu Hongxia eagerly continued to express her agreement with her uncle.

"Huh!" Liu Meng smiled wistfully. At first, there was some reluctance in his laughter, but soon this unwillingness turned into relief.

"Yuelian, I told you that I had also taken the imperial examination before." Liu Meng asked Liu Hongxia.

"Seems to be the case." Liu Hongxia replied.

"The reason why I finally gave up the imperial examination that year was because I saw the article of Wen Tianxiang, the champion of the year I took the exam." Liu Meng has never talked to others about the turning point that changed his life and destiny, and this time he finally said what he thought in his heart, and he was also infinitely emotional, "They are all readers, and I can read everything he writes." However, let me write, I can't write such an article in any way. That's when it dawned on me. Before, I thought I was reading well, but after reading the articles of real readers, I realized that I couldn't read. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Meng was silent for the time being, he needed some time to calm down his boiling emotions. This is a scar-like existence in his heart, if it weren't for his beloved niece, Liu Meng wouldn't want to mention it. However, now he suddenly discovered that the moment that once made Liu Meng feel extremely embarrassed and disheartened was so important to Liu Meng. At this critical juncture, Liu Meng recognized himself clearly, and finally took the step that only belonged to Liu Meng.

Now it seems that that step is the starting point of Liu Meng, and it is the beginning of his life from the bottom of his life step by step to today's happy and satisfying life. And this kind of reflection and epiphany is also new to Liu Meng.

Liu Hongxia was also silent. Hearing her uncle describe that desperate moment, Liu Hongxia felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She felt that she could understand her uncle's feelings at that time, because the various exams and competitions in the school made Liu Hongxia realize that in many aspects, or in all aspects, she was not the best one in the school. And the fact that I have to realize these makes Liu Hongxia feel very bad in her heart every time. Therefore, Liu Hongxia felt uncomfortable and a little surprised at the same time, because from the reaction, what she felt from her uncle was not negative emotions, but a kind of 'joy' that should not be had.

Just when Liu Hongxia was puzzled, Liu Meng continued: "Don't be afraid to compare with those excellent people, we will admit it if we lose after the competition." Even if we do lose completely, we give up. Hongxia, I was also young, and I knew how difficult it was to admit defeat at that time. That's really not admitted. ”

Liu Hongxia nodded secretly, not because she agreed with this passage, but because she agreed with the feeling of 'not admitting' that Liu Meng said. Because admitting failure is denying yourself, and that's more painful than anything else.

However, Liu Meng's voice has regained his calm and confidence, and he has concluded the conversation, "Admit defeat, and the next thing to do is what you can do." I've been doing what I can since the day I admit that I didn't have the talent to take the exam, and then I've got everything I have now. My evaluation of this period of life is only four words, with a clear conscience! So, tomorrow you go and tell the teacher that you are willing to work at the army's communications research institute! ”
