Chapter 1 Back to the Past
Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a butterfly, and the butterfly dreamed of Zhuang Zhou.

Who knows the big dream first, I know it all my life.

Wang Jianfeng is a young man who lives in a new society and grew up under the red flag. He could not stand his boss's exploitation and fired his boss. He has been unemployed at home ever since. As a fishing enthusiast, he usually fishes and reads books. Once when he went to the reservoir to fish, he saw a child fall into the water. He jumped into the water to save the child, but suddenly he got cramps and drowned. Then his soul was transferred to the body of Wang Jianfeng, who was also on his deathbed. Fortunately, the names were the same and did not need to be changed.

The original body was from Wangjia Village, a mountain village under the Qingshan Brigade in the suburbs of Sijiu City. Everyone in this village has the surname Wang, and they are more or less relatives. The original body was also called Wang Jianfeng. A year ago, his father went into the mountains to hunt in order to get some mountain products and make some income, and he was seriously injured. He was rescued by the villagers, but died within a few days. His mother was too sad and her health has not been good, so she also passed away within a few days.

The original owner was still in junior high school and was about to graduate. She was so sad that she fell into a coma, which led to his arrival.

After finishing his household chores, he was admitted to a technical secondary school with the knowledge he had accumulated in later life.

As for why you take the technical secondary school entrance exam instead of continuing on to high school and then university?

In fact, Wang Jianfeng also wanted to, but his strength did not allow it. When he traveled through time, he was just over 16 years old. If he continued to take the high school entrance exam, he probably would not be able to make a living. At that time, every household was in financial difficulty, and although the people there were simple and honest, they could not support him.

He can only rely on himself, and if he takes the technical secondary school entrance exam, these problems can be easily solved. The technical secondary schools of this era are not the same as those in later generations. Only the elites can pass the exam now.

In this era, if you pass the technical secondary school entrance exam, the state will provide subsidies, and you will receive a living allowance of 18 yuan (first edition RMB) per month, which is enough for your study and life at school. If you are a little frugal, you can even subsidize your family. Not only that, graduates of technical secondary schools will be directly assigned jobs and housing, and they will also be given cadre or technician positions.

If he didn't take the technical secondary school entrance exam and went home to farm, he wouldn't be cut out for it. Thinking about the famine caused by the three-year natural disaster a few years later, he had to prepare in advance. Therefore, Wang Jianfeng chose to apply for the technical secondary school entrance exam without hesitation.

In the days that followed, Wang Jianfeng began to study seriously. The savings left by his family could only last for two months, so he simply relied on the knowledge he had accumulated in his later years. After studying hard for more than half a month, he was lucky enough to be admitted. After asking his uncle's family to help look after the house, he took the letter of introduction and admission letter and embarked on the road of studying alone.

But in fact, he is the only one in his family now. Many of his relatives are from his grandfather's generation. His father has many brothers and sisters, but he is the only one in his family, and the others are one level apart. In fact, the villagers were very proud when they knew he was admitted to secondary technical school. After all, in rural areas nowadays, it is normal that not everyone in the entire brigade or even the entire commune can be admitted. In a commune, there may be only one-third of the school-age people going to school, and then only fifteen of this one-third can go to junior high school, and finally only less than two percent can be admitted to secondary technical school or high school. Of course, the proportion in cities is much higher than this. Because his parents only had one child, they were particularly fond of him, and he did have some brains, so he barely made it to the third year of junior high school. If he had not traveled through time and space with the memories of later generations, he would not have been admitted to secondary technical school at all.

Time has unknowingly come to 1954. In these three years, Wang Jianfeng has called the system more than once. He expressed his expectation for this time travel standard, but after these three years, he has given up. Then, in order to survive and live in the future, he earns some extra money while studying professional skills seriously. As a former fishing enthusiast, he can only light up the black technology of fishing and make some money by selling fishing. In three years, he has earned more than 5000 million (the first edition of RMB), which is undoubtedly a huge sum of money. However, in line with the principle of keeping a low profile, no one knows about his extra money so far. Maybe his roommates have suspected it, but then nothing happened.

In fact, after he became rich, he also thought about whether he could use the money to invest in real estate in advance. After all, a courtyard house with three entrances only costs 6000 million yuan, a courtyard house with two entrances only costs more than 3000 million yuan, and a courtyard house with one entrance only costs about million yuan. He can definitely buy one with his current money, but after thinking about it, he gave up. For a student who is still in school, it is impossible to explain the source of so much money suddenly. What's more, it is even more difficult to handle since his household registration is still with the school. He can only wait until he is assigned a job after graduation.

During these three years, Wang Jianfeng was actually like an unknown person and did not do anything outstanding in school. Today is June 1954, 6, the day of graduation. He is already 30 years old, 19 in lunar age. After the Chinese New Year, he can get married and set up his own household. He has now completely integrated into this era. This is the best era, and everyone is contributing to the construction of the motherland.

He walked to the office of the Academic Affairs Office and followed the normal procedures. He took the letter of introduction for his work and personnel files handed over by the teacher. The academic affairs teacher gave him a few words of encouragement and then sent him out.

After returning to the dormitory, he opened the letter of introduction and took a look. He was assigned to a place called the Third Steel Rolling Mill in Sijiu City. As for the position, normally most people like him would be assigned to be technicians. However, Wang Jianfeng also knew that he was just a little foresighted. If he was really asked to do technical work, he would not be able to do it well.

Then Wang Jianfeng looked at the Sijiucheng Third Steel Rolling Mill on the letter of introduction. He felt it was a little familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen it. So he just ignored it. Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. He was asked to report in within a week. He had been thinking of going back to his hometown, but it seemed he could only wait until he reported in and then find time to go back.

For the future generations, all college graduates have to find a job on their own. Some people will go home to live off their parents. Now they are happy to some extent.

After graduation, all the classmates have arranged their futures. All the classmates have left their correspondence addresses. Then there are the roommates in the same dormitory. Although they are not as close as the college students in later generations, they have lived together for three years. In addition, the people in this era are simple and honest. They will help and take care of each other in the future. His roommates are from all over the country and have been arranged to work in various places. These are indispensable networks and resources in the future.

In the next few days, all the students left school one after another and reported to their work units. Wang Jianfeng was also packing his luggage and preparing to report to his work unit. Nowadays, people regard labor as an honor.

He should be the last one to leave their dormitory. Looking at the place where he had lived for three years, he knew it was time to leave.

There is a saying that goes, "Everything must come together and separate, and it will eventually happen." Today's separation is for a better reunion in the future.
