Fifth, the Lori city manager who mistakenly broke into the boudoir
In fact, although she is now touted by the cultural circles as the standard-bearer of the "women's liberation movement", Jinjina herself is not really enthusiastic about it, and only shouts a few words to gain popularity, as for the real social practice, it is basically not done.
The reason for this negative is that the overall social environment is simply not suitable - for example, about 10 years ago, some people opened a night school for female workers in Shanghai, hoping to change the status quo of working women who are mostly illiterate and create a group of knowledgeable and educated "new women". However, the school builders soon discovered that most of the female students who came to the night school for female workers to read and write were actually engaged in the "tertiary industry", such as singing girls, musicians, prostitutes, and even liars and white-splitting parties, because if they were literate, they could increase their income. There are also a number of unfavored aunts and wives, all of whom are preparing to elope, thinking that it will be easier to find a job after knowing how to read. Female workers, on the other hand, are not highly motivated to attend school, because literacy has nothing to do with their income......
-- In the chaotic old society before the founding of New China, the so-called women's rights were destined to be only the dreams of the petty bourgeoisie in cafes and salons. If the residue of the feudal system cannot be completely swept away and the discrimination of social concepts cannot be completely changed, even if those ladies go to a new-style school, or even study abroad all the way to a master's degree or doctorate, Zuihou often cannot find a decent job, so they can only come back to marry and become a housewife......
In the concept of many traditional families in the Republic of China era, letting girls go out to study would only delay their marriage age (at that time, it was common to get married before the age of twenty, and female college students were considered old girls). As a result, they can't find a good husband in their hometown.
Moreover, rights and obligations are two-way. Women in the old society gave up their freedom and independence in exchange for the comfort of the benefits provided for by men - in the traditional society. It is natural for a husband to support his wife, while a man who relies on a woman to feed on soft food will be ridiculed by people -- for them, traditional feudal etiquette is not only a shackle to their freedom, but also a guarantee to maintain their lives. If women in the new society want to have equal rights with men, they will have to learn to support themselves like men...... But in Jinchina's eyes, most of the "progressive young women" of the Republican era seem to be unable to do this, and they just see self-reliance as a last resort. still regards marrying a good husband as the primary goal of life.
Alas, in the stinky backwater of old China, I want to change customs or something. I can only count on the Communist Party that has gone against the sky all the way!
However, in the eyes of many people in the outside world, especially in the impression of ordinary readers, "Teacher Qiong Yao" who wrote about the tragic experiences of many traditional women. It's like the chief drummer for the emancipation of women -- so. Kim Kina was warned by the conservative Shili who was "anti-progressive".
However, although this "self-proclaimed" warning letter from the Blue Coat Society (one of the predecessors of the military command) once frightened Jin Qina, but if you think about it carefully, the so-called warning from the Blue Coat Society seems to be the same thing. I remember that a while ago, the members of the Blue Coat Society in Shanghai still denounced the "anti-science" of Chinese medicine with great fanfare, but later they didn't seem to see them smashing Chinese medicine pharmacies and arresting old Chinese medicine doctors street by street......
In a word. Although the Blue Coat Society is notorious, it is not a thug who specializes in helping people with bad intentions to bully abandoned women. As long as the leaders of this organization still have a little sense. It is impossible to use violent means to overturn a boatload of people with a rod no matter where they are dealing with members of the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party, such as Roushi and Qu Qiubai. Otherwise, with the Blue Coat Society's current style of taking advantage of Chiang Kai-shek's advocacy of the "New Life Movement" to meddle everywhere in countless different fields such as academics, art, and education, God knows how many celebrities will be killed and how many people will be arrested as political prisoners.
-- Jin Qina imagined that the Bai Mansion and the Dregs Cave in Chongqing were full of old Chinese medicine practitioners who opposed Western medicine, old peasants who opposed the Gregorian calendar, and old pedants who opposed Western learning...... Well, not to mention how much money will be wasted for this, the cell alone will have to be expanded at least dozens of times before it can fit it.
Of course, I am not afraid of 10,000, but I am afraid that according to the original history, in about half a year, the Kuomintang opposition will assassinate the left-wing cultural celebrity Shi Liangcai. In order to prevent the spies of the Blue Coat Society from beating rabbits with grass and by the way, feeding herself, the "pioneer of the women's liberation movement", Jin Qina is preparing to transform as soon as possible and change her main writing theme to martial arts novels - martial arts novels, which have always been taboo and suitable for both men and women.
ββ¦β¦ Although there are a lot of Qiong Yao's novels, there are only a few novels that are more famous and I remember the plot clearly, and now they have squeezed all of Zuihou's potential - "Crescent Moon Gege" and "Huanzhu Gege" are too happy and too brain-dead, I don't know how to change them; The story of "A Curtain of Dreams" takes place in Taiwan after World War II, and the background is too different......"
Jin Qina sat in the rattan circle chair, tapping the writing desk with a pen, frowning and thinking, "...... What to write next? If you write martial arts, what type should you write about? "The Condor Heroes"? Wonderful is wonderful, but it's a pity that the length is too long, and I have to write it from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" first, if it is not popular, it will be too much of a loss. "Smiling Proud Jianghu"? Well, many of the plots in the first half seem to be unclear, and the whole story may not be strung together. "Huo Yuanjia"? This kind of anti-Japanese novel must have been very marketable in the thirties, but I am afraid that the relevant authorities of the Kuomintang reactionaries will not allow it to be published, and if it is not good, there will be Japanese ronins looking for trouble. "The Legend of Deer and Ding"? I remember the plot of this very clearly, and there is nothing taboo about it, but unfortunately the protagonist Wei Xiaobao is too disrespectful to women, and will smash my signboard......"
Just as she was hesitating while playing with her pen, a little girl in a yellow dress rushed in.
ββ¦β¦ Mom! Mom! Your cute and invincible little chastity is back! Mom! Mom! Zhenzhen brought you delicious food, it was the teacher who rewarded Zhenzhen! Before anyone arrived, the sound came first, and the delicate and soft voice came through the open door of the room.
- This is Jin Xingzhen, the daughter of Jin Qina in this life, or Aixin Jueluo. Xingzhen (and the Empress Dowager Cixi's name). I am six years old and have just entered the first grade of elementary school. The body is petite and exquisite, and the appearance is as delicate as a doll. The character is very well-behaved and cute.,Especially proficient in all kinds of cute skills.,Very good at making adults happy.,Let Jin Qina, who loves all kinds of cute things very much before the crossing, be spoiled.,It's about to become a little magic star.γ
And Zhang's mother, a maid who had just picked her up from a nearby elementary school, also smiled and said good things to Jin Xingzhen while packing her shoes.
ββ¦β¦ Ah. Miss Jin, you see how filial this girl is, she got a perfect score in the school exam. The teacher gave her a small cake and was reluctant to eat it, so she must hide it and bring it back to honor you! As she spoke, she pulled a small piece of cake out of her pocket and placed it on the edge of her desk.
ββIt's a very ordinary flat round cake. No cream and frosting. There are no nuts or chocolate, but they are so touching.
And Jin Xingzhen took out a full-score exam paper from her small schoolbag like a treasure, and shook it in front of Jin Qina with a proud face, "...... Mom! Mom! You see, your cute and invincible little Zhenzhen is the smartest in the class! Go ahead! Mom, how are you going to reward Xiao Zhenzhen? β
ββ¦β¦ Alas, I'm so proud when I'm only in the first grade of elementary school, and when I grow up, I'll have it? Jinchina sighed. first flicked a brain meltdown on his daughter's forehead, making this little Lori pout aggrievedly. Then he leaned over and kissed Xingzhen's cheek as a sign of comfort, "...... Okay, let's go do our homework first! Mom will cook a delicious meal for you......"
ββββββββββββββββββ
In this era when there is no internet, television, and radio is rare, even in the drunken city of Shanghai, the nightlife is very boring.
Even the children of the rich can only go to drink, gamble, dance, hook up and socialize. As for the wife and lady of high society, she can only play mahjong and dance as her main pastime.
It's a pity that Jinjina can neither dance nor play mahjong, so she can't squeeze into the social circle of the ladies and ladies.
Luckily, in the era before her, she was full of women who genuinely loved words and books, who preferred to be buried in books rather than dancing and singing, and who preferred to be with books than having fun with men - and Jinchina, a little nerd, was one of them!
Therefore, even if she stays at the desk for many days and stays at home, Jinjina can still live comfortably and leisurely.
Of course, no matter how wonderful the books that are "food for the soul" are, they still can't replace the real appetite.
Therefore, since coming to this era, Jinchina's main pastime besides writing and reading is to rely on her first-hand cooking skills accumulated in two lifetimes to reproduce the various flavors and delicacies tasted in later generations one by one, so as to satisfy the stomach and taste buds of the family.
ββNo matter what era you are in, if you live a happy life, you must have plenty of food!
The main course of this dinner is the Sichuan-style spring bamboo shoot roast chicken, which is made with fresh spring bamboo shoots and mushrooms, and the fat chicken that has just been killed in the evening. First, put the fat and tender spring bamboo shoots in boiling water and blanch them, which are already half cooked, and then blanch the washed mushrooms, and then cut the processed haode fat chicken into chicken pieces with a quick knife, and simmer them in boiling water for a while. Then take out the half-cooked chicken pieces, add cooking wine, green onions, ginger and garlic and a little refined salt, marinate for a while, and cut the blanched bamboo shoots into small pieces, tear the mushrooms into pieces, zuihou put cooking oil in the pot to heat, and then you can put in the chicken pieces, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, quickly stir-fry and put on the plate, by the way, drizzle some hot chili oil, it is enough to make people sweat all over the body, and dilate pores.
In addition, there are fragrant potato cakes, stir-fried choy sum, tomato egg drop soup, sweet and sour fish, and ...... Although they are all some home-cooked side dishes that are not too complicated, but with the crystal clear and fragrant rice, Jin Xingzhen and Zhang's mother still eat with their mouths full of oil, and almost swept away all the dishes on the table.
ββ¦β¦ It's so delicious! Mom! How the hell do you manage to cook so many delicious dishes? Even if it's the same dish, Mama Zhang is much worse than you! Jin Xingzhen unceremoniously ate seven or eight pieces of Sichuan-style roast chicken in one go, then licked her lips, looked at the empty plate, and said with some unfinished words: "...... Would you like another plate of roast chicken? There should be quite a few in the pot! β
ββ¦β¦ That's tomorrow's share, and if you eat it now, you'll become a chubby dun! Be careful to break your belly! Looking at her daughter's round little belly, Jinjina smiled very unkindly. β¦β¦ Stop pouting! My good daughter, and there's an old hen soup stewed in the kitchen! Wait until tomorrow when you go to school, warm it up again, pour it in a thermos flask, and bring it over. Would you like to invite your classmates to drink it at noon? β
ββ¦β¦ Wow! That's great! Mom, Mom, you're the best mom in the world! β
β¦β¦
After eating, the mother and daughter laughed and chatted for a while, and Jin Qina also took out Jin Xingzhen's homework book and took her homework. Then he sent her to wash up and go to bedβchildren need sleep the mostβand walked back to the study alone, turning on the light, with the click of a clockwork alarm. began to quietly write and rush to catch up with the manuscript.
This is the daily life of Jin Qina, a young woman in literature and art, in the Republic of China era, which is very bland, very leisurely, and a little boring. But also cozy.
Most importantly. She loves and cherishes this life from the bottom of her heart, and hopes to keep it up like this.
Seriously, she is just an ordinary woman, just pursuing a warm and harmonious family, even if she has traveled to this turbulent era, she has never thought of picking up the burden of changing history, reforming society, and revitalizing the nation - she thinks she has no such ability at all!
However, people have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries -- in this troubled era of the Republic of China. I can't fit a quiet desk anymore!
-- After writing another paragraph on the manuscript paper, I happened to look up and saw the calendar on the table. Jinjina's mood couldn't help but drop, and she no longer had the intention of brewing a work, so she had to temporarily drop her pen, slump in her chair, rubbing her temples with one hand, and felt that her head was already a mess of paste.
It's May, it's May 1934! She couldn't help but muttered to herself.
Looking at the pages of the calendar, she seemed to hear the wheels of history rolling and rolling, driving straight into the flames of war and gunsmoke......
1934 is the Year of the Dog in the lunar calendar; At the same time, it is also the twenty-third year of the Republic of The first year of Kant in Manchukuo, the ninth year of Showa in Japan.
On January 21 of this year, the Fuzhou Incident launched by the 19th Route Army was a complete failure, and the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army lost foreign aid in the south.
On March 1, under the direction of the Japanese Kwantung Army, the puppet state of Manchukuo restored the imperial system in Changchun, Jilin. The last Xuantong Puyi became Emperor Kant again.
In the following summer, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army's fifth anti-encirclement campaign will suffer a crushing failure, and it will finally embark on the Long March in October this year.
And Adolf. Hitler would become Germany's head of state in early August this year, making Germany the birthplace of the Second World War.
Then there was the gradual formation of the Axis alliance, the continuous expansion of Nazi Germany, and the expansion of the Japanese military headquarters...... The haze of the Second Shijie War has shrouded the entire Eurasian continent, and it is difficult to find an inch of peace and happiness in the whole world.
In another three years, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will begin in an all-round way. With the flames of the Anti-Japanese War, no one wants to stay out of it! Even Shanghai will be drawn into the flesh mill of the Battle of Songhu. Immediately afterwards, there was the Nanjing tragedy that made the Chinese unforgettable, and 300,000 people were slaughtered!
Although relying on the remnants of the British, French, and American powers, the Shanghai Concession was able to maintain its independence for a period of time in the Japanese-occupied areas and became a safe island in the occupied areas. But under the nest, Ann has finished eggs! After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Shanghai Concession in the land of projectiles will soon fall completely.
Therefore, Jinjina had to plan for her future life. Indeed, when the country is in trouble, it is the time to employ people, as long as they are sons and daughters of China, they have more or less a heart to serve the country. However, in such a situation, what can she do as a woman? Some people may swear to live and die with the motherland, or even die for their country. But she was too timid to gamble with her family's life.
In view of this idea, after she had some fame and savings, she began to plan to pave the way for her family.
Before crossing over, Jin Qina had read many novels of the Republic of China by other female authors, and the heroines in the books often chose to immigrate to the United States to avoid disaster when the Anti-Japanese War broke out and the national disaster was imminent-the reason is also very good: the war makes women go away!
However, not to mention whether this idea of being a deserter is shameful, will the door to immigration to the United States really be open for you?
-- It was only after Jin Qina crossed over that she found out in a foreign bank in Shanghai that the United States had always had the "Chinese Exclusion Act" in this era, and the Chinese exclusion sentiment was very serious. The Immigration Act of 1924 severely restricted immigration and excluded all classes of Chinese immigrants. Of course, this only refers to the exclusion of immigrants, and if Chinese only go to study or travel, then it is still allowed by the US government. But the problem is that in the past, you can't look for a job in the United States, you can only sit back and eat with the savings you bring with you...... That is, you are only welcome to send money to the United States......
Obviously, for an ordinary literati like her, who has no family wealth, it is simply a dream to immigrate to the United States safely to avoid trouble!
ββ¦β¦ Alas, a weak woman like me, dragging an elementary school girl, where can she hide in this troubled world? β
Jinchina stared at the calendar melancholy, as if she wanted to turn back time, "...... On the side of the occupied area, there is no way to be a traitor; On the side of the national control area, life should not be easy; Defected to Yan'an...... I'm afraid that a feudal remnant like me will be defeated as soon as there is a movement! Emigrating abroad seems to be the most effective way out, but the question is, not to mention how to immigrate out, if I really get there, what should I live on? β
However, just when she was sad, there was a burst of singing in her ears that should not have appeared in this era at all!
ββ¦β¦ Although I wear a dress, my heart is still Chinese, and my ancestors have already branded everything I have with the Chinese ......"
Turning her head to look, Jin Qina's eyes suddenly widened in a daze - on the ceiling of the study, there was a black hole the size of a leather ball, a slender stick, holding a smartphone sticking out of the hole, and the fluorescent mobile phone screen was still playing "My Chinese Heart" over and over again...... Such an overly fantastical scene made Jinchina dumbfounded, and her brain almost fell into a state of death.
Moments later, the phone tied to the stick was taken back. After a while, a little girl in a pajama and rabbit slippers yawned abruptly into Jinchina's study.
ββ¦β¦ Ah, I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten to turn off my phone's scheduled alarm just now. This big sister, did you cross over? Is it a soul crossing or a physical crossing? Huh? How did you faint? Wake up, wake up, ......" (to be continued......)
