Four ordinary Chinese teenagers are worried about the future, which in the Ming Dynasty, it always seems that there is a sense of surprise.

Because in the Ming Dynasty of the same era, the Ming teenager did not seem to have this kind of distress, which cannot be said to be a kind of luck, but a kind of helplessness that makes people sigh.

In the Ming Dynasty, poor teenagers probably couldn't hide from farming, marrying, and having children, or they had a bad year, so they had to sell themselves into slavery.

For these teenagers, they have no choice at all, and the first thing they do when they wake up every day is to work like animals.

Children with a little talent are probably able to read and write, and then follow the imperial examination path given by the imperial court and continue to participate in the imperial examination.

From teenagers to middle age, it's okay to be lifted, but if you don't get lifted, you can only be disheartened and ruined by your youth.

A rich man from a good family has no lofty ambitions except for the imperial examination.

The vast majority of them are frequent visitors to Goolan Washe, they squander wantonly, drunk and dream, enjoy the accumulation of their ancestors, and do not know how to realize their own value.

But in Huaxia Kingdom, in Eastern Qin, these teenagers have the two concepts of life and value in their minds.

The monarch attaches great importance to education, and all textbooks are personally approved and compiled by the monarch for four years of primary school and four years of middle school.

In addition to mathematics, Chinese, music, physical education, physics, and chemistry, there is also a course called ideological and political education.

This class is a reasonable class, and the teacher only needs to read the book and tell a few short stories, which is enough to cope with this class.

But none of them could have imagined that the truth taught in this course, combined with the rapid development of Dongqin, would imperceptibly affect the teenagers.

Let them have a deeper understanding of the words life and value.

In addition, when they graduate from high school, the school also gives these students enough choices in accordance with the meaning of the Constitution.

As long as you have a secondary school degree, then this group of teenagers, almost all walks of life, can try it.

There are too many choices, and sometimes although it is distressing, it is a kind of luck!

When the young man of Daming was thinking about the next meal, the young man of Dongqin was already thinking about what he would do in the future.

These Dongqin teenagers can read and write, and they also have the accumulation of knowledge in case of trouble, helping them to think.

They are positive, lively, open, and vibrant, as long as they see the faces of young people, they know that the next generation of Dongqin has a completely different temperament.

…………

The White Snake was broadcast, and the singing on the stage came, which calmed the hearts of the young people below.

They looked at the beautiful White Lady and Xiaoqing, with hearty smiles on their faces.

It's a pity that this white lady and Xiaoqing are newcomers at first glance, and their lyrics have a little Hokkien accent.

However, the advantage is that the script is excellent, and it will not take long for the audience to immerse themselves in the play.

Li Jian looked at the White Lady and Xu Xian, you and me, and he was a little yearning in his heart.

When I was in elementary school, there were a lot of female classmates, but when I was in middle school, many of my classmates didn't come.

He once secretly liked a female classmate, and within a few months of unrequited love, he returned to the village to become a primary school teacher.

Since then, Li Jian has only met her three times in total, and she looks good, standing in the crowd, she is still so glamorous.

Soon, the play showed that Xu Xian used realgar to test the white lady, and this part was a little infuriating.

The crowd of onlookers also blew their beards angrily and stared, ignoring the fact that the white lady was a snake spirit.

Yang Ziwen was curious, why realgar can make the white lady appear, and what should be the composition of realgar.

sang until the water flooded Jinshan, and the atmosphere under the audience became intense, and there was a great sense of joy.

It's just that the ending is not good, the stinky monk of Fahai is not dead, and Bai Suzhen also voluntarily walked into Leifeng Tower.

At the end of the song, the actors came to the stage to bow and salute, and the audience rang out with a warm applause.

Chen Junyou sighed and said: "This play is not like the previous play, but the ending is not as good as the version of "The Legend of the White Snake"!" ”

Wang Sen hooked his shoulder and said: "Naturally, you can only play on the stage, but after secondary creation, it is natural to explain in more detail." ”

"Hehe, but playing the White Lady is very good-looking!" Yang Ziwen smiled sheepishly.

The four of them tacitly agreed, and they all smirked.

"Why don't we go around again and have a good look?" Li Jian instigated.

"Let's go!" Chen Junyou raised his eyebrows, and his feet were far away.

They deliberately went around to the tent of the Rural Repertory Troupe, only to find that there were many people with the same thoughts.

The group of people all smiled at each other, and then looked at the situation in the tent with blank eyes.

It wasn't until Xiaoqing ran out and laughed and scolded a few times that the thin-skinned man was reluctant to leave.

And people like Li Jian and them are very thick-skinned, not only do they not leave, but they half-drape the students, which looks particularly improper.

After a while, the white lady came out in a different costume, but she was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, she looked delicate, and her face was a little thin, and she got into the carriage in three steps and two steps.

Li Jian and the others had seen enough, so they laughed and left.

"Eh, school is almost starting year, so why don't you go take the train tomorrow! Let's see! Walking on the road, Yang Ziwen turned around and waved his hand to propose.

"Good! I've wanted to take the train for a long time. Wang Sen was suddenly interested.

Chen Junyou also nodded and said, "You can just go to Yangang to have a look, it is said that it is more lively than Mocheng!" ”

Li Jian thought of his brother's instructions, and he proposed: "My brother asked me to investigate, saying that it can help me make a better decision, we might as well take advantage of the holiday to go to Mocheng and Yangang for a look, and see on the spot, maybe we will know what to do after graduation!" ”

"Great idea!" The three of them felt very reasonable, and immediately agreed to go to Meocco and Yangang in the next few days.

……

The joy of a young man is always easy to dissipate, and when he returns home, Li Jian looks ignorant again.

Brother Li Yong is cleaning up in the yard and buying some saplings, as if he wants to tidy up his yard.

Li Jian took a shovel and also helped.

Li Yong tied his sleeves and looked extraordinarily calm. I went to visit Sister Zhang today, and saw that she is now living a rich life and a man is also an honest man, and a stone in his heart has landed.

In addition to being relieved, I also found that I had a bit of a juvenile heart at the beginning.

Sister Zhang also received him warmly and treated her as a younger brother.

"Brother, I'll go to Meaux tomorrow!" Li Jian mentioned.

"Good! I'm going to Meaux tomorrow too. ”

"What are you doing in Meaux?"

"Blind date! Don't forget, I'm an officer, and there's an officer blind date office in Meaux, and I've heard that you can pick and choose. Li Yong said with a smile.

Li Jian was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced: "So, you are determined to start a family this time?" ”

Li Yong smiled and sighed: "My father and mother have been dead for almost ten years, and if I don't have a family again, I will be unfilial!" ”

Li Jian's face was also dark: "Okay, it's good that you get married!" ”

"What about you? I've heard that many middle school students are getting married, right? ”

Li Jian blushed, it is very common for middle school students to get married in Dongqin, but most male students will continue to go to school when they get married, but most of the female students choose to drop out of school, after all, once they are pregnant, they will not be able to continue to attend classes with peace of mind.

However, it is difficult for the government to issue laws and regulations to strictly supervise this phenomenon, because it conflicts with the population policy, so it can only let it go.

Li Jian waved his hand and said: "Before I am sure what I will do in the future, I don't want to get married, let's talk about it after graduation!" ”

"It's only been half a year, so I still have to think about it early!" Li Yong shoveled the ground and instigated: "If you have a favorite girl, tell my brother that my brother is wearing a military uniform to propose marriage for you!" ”

Li Jian couldn't help laughing: "Brother, don't worry about it!" ”

……

The two brothers talked and laughed as it came time for dinner.

Yang Gui and his wife came to visit, carrying a few gifts in their hands.

Li Yong was not familiar with this family before, but at this moment, the husband and wife came to the door, and they also welcomed them happily.

Yang Gui was also a little restrained, when he was in the Ming Kingdom, he was a little afraid of the officers, he said with a smile: "Comrade Li Yong, you fought for the country and returned triumphantly, our fellow villagers, I would like to send some courtesy, talk about my heart, and please don't dislike it." ”

"There, it's our duty to fight!" Li Yong smiled and invited the two to sit down.

Yang Gui said with a smile: "Even so, we all understand that without you soldiers fighting in the south and north, there would be no stable life for all of us." ”

Li Yong was quite useful, but he said: "It's all about serving the people, and the war we fight as soldiers is like a farmer farming, and we are all contributing to the country!" ”

"Sure enough, people who have been officers just don't speak the same!"

Li Yong put a touch of pride on his lips, and was quickly suppressed again, he waved his hand and said: "Just be a company commander, this is still catching up with the expansion of the army!" ”

Yang Gui flattered a few more words, until the atmosphere was lively, and then he signaled Yang Naimo.

Yang Naimo immediately asked with a look of anticipation: "Brother Li, have you ever been to Ryukyu in this war, and have you ever seen Japanese laborers?" ”

Li Yong was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why he asked this, he knew that the Japanese people were replacing the animal army, but since the war horses were abundant, this group of people was sent to cut sugar cane.

Yang Gui explained: "My mother-in-law is from the Wa Kingdom, and she said that she was under the rule of the Shimazu clan, and they were all caught and sold to our Eastern Qin. She was separated from her father and mother, and thought that the rest of her relatives might not be there, but in recent years, she has received some news one after another, saying that they are laborers from the Japanese country, and most of them are now cutting sugarcane in southern Qin.

We asked someone to inquire about it, and found that most of those people were sold from behind, and Namo's group belonged to the earliest batch, and most of them are now in Ryukyu. So I just wanted to ask you. ”

Li Yong thought to herself, the mortality rate of laborers is not low, and her father is afraid that he is not so lucky to survive for so many years.

He didn't want to disappoint people too much, so he said vaguely: "In Ryukyu, there are indeed Japanese laborers, but there are not too many, and there are only more than 100 people, doing some work of digging manure and drains." As for where the others went, I don't know. ”

Hearing the news, Yang Naimo almost burst into tears, she bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Brother Li!" If I go to Ryukyu again in the future, I hope that Brother Li will pay more attention to me for a thing or two, my father's name is Wada Jichuan, and he ......will read the Japanese language."

Li Yong remembered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, if there is anything in Ryukyu next time, I will definitely help you ask!" ”

"Thank you so much!" The husband and wife saluted together.

After they left, Li Yong opened the gift bag and found that there were two taels of silver inside.

He hurriedly asked Li Jian to send it back.
