The country is broken

The salary and benefits of teachers in modern schools are comparable to those of civil servants. Just one elementary school teacher earns a lot of money. Compared with the golden profession of modern drought and flood, the life of teachers and students during the Anti-Japanese War was extremely poor, and they often had to do odd jobs. Part-time job to earn some living expenses.

Especially for Li Wei, who still wanted to keep two war zone anti-coins (the currency issued by the Communist Party at that time) as a souvenir, the travel expenses converted into silver dollars and the poor salary for half a year were even more optimistic. Silver dollars, and you have to pay some rent and food to the landlord. Because of the principle of confidentiality in the organization, Li Wei also doesn't want to trouble his comrades all the time. He didn't ask Lin Kee Drugstore to help him find work, and he usually stayed elsewhere. I earn a little money by doing part-time jobs, porters, selling newspapers, selling cigarettes and snacks, I have to do ordinary jobs in the lower class.

Unlike modern labor protection laws, human rights, etc., the bosses in modern times wished that the horses would not eat grass and run fast. There was no 8-hour work system at all. If you talk to them about labor rights , It is estimated that there will be a bunch of thugs and whips to serve immediately. Sometimes the boss scolds people at every turn, and scolds very fiercely. He has a better attitude towards people he can trust, and there is no need to take these coolies who do odd jobs too seriously. Anyway, Li Wei is used to being discriminated against and has a good psychological endurance, so he doesn't say much. If you scold too much, you will get angry, and there may be more than a dozen people lying on the ground together and singing "Moaning" in a collective chorus.

Although Chenggu County is not a strategically important place, it is often bombed by Japanese planes, and the air defense siren is often raised. It is common for everyone to disappear in the middle of the class. A lot of people are killed here, and half of them are bombed there. Fang, the teachers and students didn’t feel much after hearing too much. Although it was a war, the school still paid close attention to education. It seems that it is the same no matter whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign. No matter how you say it, they all put the same effort into teaching and educating people. Yes, there are six and a half days of class in a week, and the remaining half day is considered a rest, but it is also considered self-study, and the students are also very hardworking. The meaning of reading is different now, and the invaders of the dog days are forced to this point. Most people study not for themselves, but for the country and the nation.

Because the Chinese education system did not have its own set of things at that time, school education was mostly Western-style, and students were more advanced in thinking. Some active students also organized student unions and some clubs. There were ideological clubs and book clubs. There are also a few skilled clubs, such as handicraft clubs, painting clubs, boxing clubs, etc. [

Zhao Lei dragged a group of freshmen to join the Jagged Society organized by patriotic students. The heroic rhetoric of the Anti-Japanese War seemed to be more admired by MM, especially since Zhao Lei's family was relatively rich and did not need to work like ordinary students. With more time to organize community activities, Zhao Lei originally wanted to bring in Li Wei, who was more agreeable, so as not to often see Li Wei always being miserable in isolation, so as to give himself a boost, but the result was unexpectedly It was discovered that Li Wei, a boy who was not loved by his father or mother, actually joined the handicraft club that was neglected, and he was not rejected by this group of students who were extremely xenophobic. The place where talents go, because most of the students in the handicraft club come from the families of lower-class manual laborers such as carpenters, painters, smiths, and blacksmiths. The things in the school are quite complicated, and there are all kinds of things, but the common thing is that they are all handmade by themselves (in fact, the school that has been relocated in a hurry can't find any tools that can be used), and they are busy making some weird things.

It's strange to say that the handicraft club that usually builds cars behind closed doors and caresses itself to tinker with inexplicable things, has a handicraft club that has been keeping a low profile since Li Wei joined, and it behaves differently in the eyes of the students, as if it has guidance and planning , although the original handicraft society is a society, everyone manages their own things and makes things that they don't even understand. Something that even they themselves can't believe.

Such as large self-pendulum clocks, mechanical watches, and bicycles, which were relatively rare at the time, not only opened the eyes of the students, but also made a lot of money after selling them. The students of the handicraft club I no longer have to worry about food, and I have funding for research. These are common things in Li Wei's eyes, but they are different in the eyes of these handicraft club students. Without special training, it is very difficult at all. After making these things, not many people would have imagined that the things they made could be sold for so much money. Even if there were those weird things they made before, no one would buy them because of their lack of practicality.

They are quite well-known in the handicraft society, not only Lin Ke who is more accurate in hand-drawing, Chen Xihe who is good at fine work, Jiang Dongsheng who is good at calculation, Jin Zhengkui who can melt copper and iron, and Qiu Baili who is good at alchemy and medicine. In Li Wei's eyes, these handicraft club students who seem strange in the eyes of others are actually students who are full of a hundred thousand reasons, but they can't find the answer and can only find the answer by themselves. They come from the traditional Chinese culture. The traditional skills of the industry are guided and pointed out by Li Wei, and they can immediately display their special splendor, and can produce some amazing things after combination. Good hand-painting skills can be transformed into draftsmen and structural analysis experts Those who can smelt can make some metal materials that meet the requirements, and those who know fine work can make these raw materials into parts that meet the drawings. Those who copy ancient alchemy can become chemical adjusters with a little guidance. Can get a dye or something.

In addition to Li Wei's coordination and organizational skills, what really convinced the students of the Handicraft Club was a relatively famous incident in the engineering college that year. The car of a KMT official broke down while passing through Chenggu County. It can't be repaired well, and there is no maintenance worker. How can there be a few people who can repair cars in this year of chaos? I heard that there is an engineering college in Chenggu County. The school came to try their luck. Few of the other students and teachers were so professional. At that time, the complexity of cars was no less than that of modern airplanes. In desperation, the teachers had to move to the handicraft club to see See if you can use a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
