A chance encounter evokes a lot of past events.

Huang Mei said that in her laughter, she had affection for Wang Sen.

If she lives in the Ming Kingdom, most girls like her will not be able to experience this kind of admiration.

Since the middle of the Song Dynasty, the great defense of men and women has been constantly subduing the people, and Zhu Xi's so-called "common people" has also changed the style of the bottom in disguise.

The more open atmosphere of the Han and Tang dynasties and the early Song dynasty is gone.

By the time of the Ming Dynasty, various places had begun to take the memorial arch of chastity as a political achievement, and the confinement of women was also deepened.

As for my clearing, it is to set off a chastity arch competition, until the time of destruction, an average of more than 3,000 chastity arches in each county!

Therefore, Yan Zheng, who deeply felt that this was a crooked trend, broke the defense of men and women at the school from the beginning and let male and female students attend classes together.

At the beginning, there were a few Ming people who had studied to say a few words about "barbarian customs", but gradually they all accepted it.

The change in perception behind this has been accompanied by an increase in the number of jobs that women can do, and women who have gone to school can become teachers and workers.

It invisibly elevates the status of women, and for this real benefit, these people can only accept it.

Although it can't be completely reversed, it has been suppressed.

……

After working in the garment factory for a few years, Huang Mei is more confident and generous than before.

I used to like to keep my head down, but now I also raised it, revealing a smiling goose egg face.

When it comes to the factory, his face is full of happiness, and he will use his little knowledge to give these three people some experience suggestions.

By the way, he also secretly said that he is not married yet, and he feels that he can make a lot of money by working now, and he doesn't want to cheapen those bachelors who have only been illiterate in vain.

These words made Wang Sen's heart flutter and flutter, and he felt that these words were hinting at him.

After saying goodbye after eating, Huang Mei also told the four of them that she had two days off every month, and she could come to her to catch up with her when she had time.

……

Bidding farewell to the old people they met by chance, the four teenagers squatted on the street, and they all felt a little emotional in their hearts.

Wang Sen's emotion was even more, he had politely rejected the hearts of many female classmates back then.

Now that I think about it, I have a faint regret, I think that the three brothers are good, but the brothers are brothers after all.

"I've figured it out, I'm going to the physics group!" Wang Sen said suddenly.

"Physics group?" Li Jian was a little surprised.

Wang Sen nodded and said: "Huang Mei just said that many machines are improved and designed by the physics group, and I think I should do this kind of work." ”

"Why?"

"A factory without a machine can't be called a factory, a loom can make a female student live a better life, I think this job is very meaningful! The country must also need it! Wang Sen said.

"You really didn't choose to study mechanics in order to be affiliated with a textile factory or a garment factory?" Chen Junyou asked rhetorically.

"No, it's not!" Wang Sen hurriedly denied it.

Li Jian smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's good to decide, machinery is indeed the country's important weapon, you look at Huaxia Daily, every time there is a breakthrough in the machine, it will be marked as a 'major breakthrough, a major achievement', this amount is much higher than other industries." ”

Wang Sen bowed his head and made up his mind, he was at the upper middle level of mathematics, physics and chemistry were so-so, but if he went to the physics group to study machinery, he was still confident that he would learn well.

Yang Ziwen also said: "It's just right for you to go to the physics group, when I am in the chemistry group, we have a partner, and after the formation of the university, we will be classmates again!" ”

"Then you have to prepare well, after the university is formed, it is said that it will expand its enrollment, and I am afraid that the competition will not be small!" Chen Junyou reminded.

Both of them nodded approvingly, the number of recruits was unknown, and they didn't know how big the competition was.

But no matter how bad it is, they can still enter the factory if they don't get in, and there will always be a job waiting for them at that time.

The four of them set off again, and now only Li Jian was left undecided.

They visited several factories and found that most of them had a relatively high level of secrecy, so they simply took a carriage and rushed to the newly built university site.

The university is located in the north of Meaux, where there are no factories, backed by mountains and surrounded by farmland.

Fortunately, a good road was built for the construction of this university, so in less than an hour, the four of them came to the site of this university.

At the moment, it is not completely built, only four or five four-story red brick houses, which look a little different in style.

In the design of the eaves, the common cornices in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are used, and there are several stucco painters, who are scraping white ash outside.

Not far away, there are more than a dozen such houses, the foundations of which are being laid, and presumably in half a year, the university will rise from the ground.

The four of them walked around and took a look, but they didn't see anything special, but they found that a path had been made between the mountains behind them.

They had heard before that the government had organized prospecting teams that were exploring the gold deposits deep in the mountains and assessing the resources in the mountains.

Now that the road has been built, it means that a lot of progress has been made.

The four of them returned to Meaux, and after enjoying the night view, they found a guest house to stay.

Standing in front of the window, looking at the brightly lit city, Li Jian felt a little sad in his heart, and he didn't think much about it after visiting for a day.

The other three students all have ideas, so should he also enter the chemistry group or the physics group? Anyway, I happen to have a companion, no matter how bad it is, it's okay to enter the biology group and the medicine group, and I heard that there are many female classmates in these two groups.

…………

The next day, the four of them woke up early.

After a hurried breakfast, we rushed to the Meaux South train station.

This railway station is very eye-catching, a wide and long red building, with white and black letters hanging on it, and it reads "Seongnam Railway Station".

There is also a slogan written on the wall: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces"!

The train ticket price is not expensive, only 43 wen per person, you can experience a train ride.

If it is usual, you can spend more than a dozen yuan to take a boat, which is not much slower than the train.

When they got into the carriage, they found that most of them had come to experience the train, just like them.

After getting into the car, I looked around in amazement, and my face was filled with a sense of surprise.

Li Jian and the others were also very curious, they learned the principle of superheating engine, but they didn't know anything about the locomotive of the train.

The carriage is also very simple, made of hardwood, the windows can be pushed up and hung, and the transparent glass on the top is the most valuable object in the carriage.

Before the departure of the train, the female flight attendant kept reminding the passengers by the window to close the windows.

With a melodious whistle, the train slowly slid up.

Looking out of the car window, I saw that the outside was full of soot with sparks, and the smell was very bad.

It wasn't until I ran through it that the smell dissipated.

The passengers got used to it for a while before they looked out the window with a new look on their faces.

Li Jian leaned on the car window and looked at it, only to see the scenery on both sides retreating, which made people feel like a gallop.

He had never ridden a horse before, and at the moment he only felt that his body and mind were in this gallop, and he was much calmer.

"This is the train! The country is proud of its scientific and technological achievements, and it is a great invention that changes the mode of transportation! Li Jian secretly sighed.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, looking at the farmland on both sides of the railway, and looking at the boats on the Yan'an River, seventeen-year-old Li Jian felt a strong emotion in his heart.

He can't say what this emotion is, he just thinks that life should be like a train, indulging in the world and enjoying the scenery that he has never seen.

…………

After arriving at the station, Li Jian walked off the train slowly, and his mood was actually a little low.

In the short journey, he thought a lot, but he became more and more vague about the future.

His experience of growing up in the Ming Kingdom made him cowardly in his bones, and also made him feel like he would live for the rest of his life.

Faced with this choice, he instinctively resisted, and if he could, he would rather go to secondary school forever than accept the change.

Because to change means to accept a completely new environment and living conditions.

He still pretended to be happy to accompany the three classmates around, lamenting the rapid development of Yangang.

I also visited the First Stock Exchange and was shocked by the casino-like scene.

The crowds of businessmen on the street are mostly talking about business, and in their eyes, it seems that they can only see money.

Li Jian didn't like this kind of scene, and neither did the other three.

Boom...... Boom...... Boom, woo...... Woo...... Woo.

Suddenly, a gun salute and whistle sounded attracted the attention of the four teenagers.

They searched for the sound and found that the movement was coming from the shipyard they were going to visit.

The four of them hurried over, and saw a hill-like sailboat in the distance, being dragged into the water to the sound of military music.

With the roar of the steam engine, the boat slid off the dock and smashed into a white wave.

Li Jian's eyes widened, and he was speechless as he looked at the huge sailing ship.

On the bow of the ship is 101, as well as the two Chinese characters "Dangkou".

The four of them slowly stepped forward, and amid the sound of military music, the sailors boarded the ship, and they looked so calm.

As a star-spike flag was raised on the mast, the cannon windows were opened one by one.

There are three layers of naval guns, and there are two 40-pound guns on the upper deck, just like a monster with teeth and claws.

The four of them were shocked, and when they saw the sailors shaking their arms and slowly sailing away from the port, Li Jian couldn't bear it anymore and ran towards the sea.

He stood on a rock, looked at the great ship with burning eyes, and raised his arms and shouted.

A cannon salute was fired from the tail cannon, shaking through the sky and sea.

Li Jian knew that he had found the career he wanted to do!

He learned some geography in middle school and knew that the sea has no end and that there are many good places in the world.

He wanted to pilot a huge ship like this in front of him to enjoy the best scenery in the world.

"I'm going to be in the navy!"
