Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Life in Jiangsu Province is so blissful that one does not want to leave. There is no need to memorize books or cook, and every day there is a handsome guy who looks as good as a later star, who cares about her from morning to night. Shi Yan feels that nothing can be more comfortable than this.

But there was one thing that puzzled Shi Yan. Lu Jin seemed to have some secret every day. He often got up in the middle of the night to stay in the study, and often did not return to the room and lie down again until early the next morning.

Shi Yan initially thought that everyone had their own little secrets, and there was no need for her to deliberately use her supernatural powers to explore them.

But this man sticks to her during the day, makes trouble for her at night, and doesn't sleep in the middle of the night. No matter how healthy her body is, she can't stand it.

Although she transferred her supernatural powers to Lu Jin to regulate his body every day, this was only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

So one night, Lu Jin got up in the middle of the night and went to the study. Shi Yan followed him. When she opened the study door, she saw Lu Jin writing and drawing on a piece of paper with a serious face.

Although Shi Yan was standing at the door, her eyesight was good enough to clearly see that Lu Jin was drawing a ship-shaped drawing. The shape looked a bit like an aircraft carrier in later generations, but the exterior of his ship was designed, but the internal details were scattered and could not be connected together.

"You stay up every night just to draw this?"

Lu Jin felt a little ashamed when asked this question. He had been working on it for several days but had not come up with any ideas. What he drew was just a concept.

It's all his fault that he was too eager for quick success and wanted to accomplish something before the turmoil so that he could have enough say to protect his family.

"Intellectuals should go to the countryside to receive re-education from the middle and lower-level poor peasants."

This is not empty talk.

He still remembers that at that time not only every household had students who went to the countryside to work as educated youth, but many teachers, professors, researchers, doctors, etc. were also sent to the countryside.

They were all intellectuals who were powerless and could not carry anything. Some of them did not even make it through those ten years to see the dawn.

He couldn't guarantee whether he and Shi Jiao would be involved by then, but he just wanted to take precautions.

"Well, these are some of my ideas. I'll write them down when I think of them, in case I forget them and wake you up?"

"You have a lot of assumptions. You have them every night. Do you want to die?"

Shi Yan didn't want to play tricks on him, so she just told him the whole thing directly.

"Jiaojiao, I was wrong! I always thought that since we were married, as a man, I had to make a career. However, I had the idea but I couldn't work out the details, so I was stuck in a vicious circle during this period."

Shi Yan did not answer Lu Jin's words immediately, but looked him up and down until the man's expression became nervous before speaking.

"Brother Chuanzong, in my impression you have always been a calm and calculating person. When did you become so eager for quick success?"

"Just like the picture you drew, even though I don't understand it, I think you are probably researching something very powerful."

"But have you ever thought that even though you were the first in the province to get into Capital University, you've only studied mechanics for a year. Is it possible that you didn't study for too short a time if you couldn't design the details?"

"Or is it that with the technology our country has, we are currently unable to produce something this large and delicate?"

Shi Yan's question seemed to ring an alarm bell in his mind, shaking his head, then he became extremely clear-headed, and finally felt lost.

He lived a new life, but he couldn't even figure out such obvious things. It was obvious that he had bound himself because of what happened in his past life.

"Jiaojiao, thank you. I'm also very sorry for making you worry."

Lu Jin was really grateful that Shi Yan could stay by his side, and he was also grateful to God for allowing him to start over again and be reborn when the little girl was still alive.

"Now that you've thought it through, go back to sleep!"

"Okay, let's go together."

Lu Jin threw down his burden, left the desk, picked up his little wife, and went back to the bedroom with a tender face. The next night was another unspeakable one.

The two spent two months of leisure in Jiangsu Province and then boarded the train back to the capital.

In the following days, study and life remained unchanged. The only change was that Lu Jin became more calm than before.

In addition, whenever Shi Yan was busy with her own things, Lu Jin would take out books related to machinery, power or shipbuilding that he had found from various places or asked others to bring from abroad to study.

Whenever he encountered a difficult problem, he would go to the elderly couple next door to discuss it together.

Later, Shi Yan saw the ship drawing on Lu Jin's desk.

Although there are still large blank areas, it is definitely much more detailed than what we saw in Su Province.

In 1962, Shi Yan and Lu Jin were both juniors and about to enter their senior year. Because most of what they were studying were practical courses in their majors, they had more free time and spent more time at home. It was more or less inconvenient to rent a house.

The two simply moved out of the old professor and his wife's yard, and used the money they exchanged for gold bars to buy a courtyard house with three entrances near the palace. There were a total of more than a dozen rooms in the courtyard house. The two of them changed rooms to sleep in every day, and it took half a month to take turns.

However, although Lu Jin bought the house here according to Shi Yan's advice, he had his own ideas about the decoration of the house.

The two lived in the innermost courtyard, but they still only used three rooms, with the same arrangement as in the old professor's courtyard. The furniture selected by Lu Jin were all old items that were obviously quite old, without any patterns, and looked very simple, but also very solid.

As for the dozen or so vacant rooms, Lu Jin gave away all the usable furniture in them, and burned the ones with missing parts as firewood. After he finished cleaning up, the dozen or so rooms were cleaner than his face, and Shi Yan could only say that he was a spendthrift.

That day, Lu Jin came home from school very late. Shi Yan had already lay back on the bed and was applying cold cream all over her body.

Lu Jin quickly washed his hands and took over the job, personally providing skin care for his young wife.

But in the past, Lu Jin would always be clingy and try to get benefits from his little wife, but tonight he was unusually silent. Even a wooden person could sense that something was wrong with him.

"What happened? Why didn't you say anything all night?"

"Jiaojiao, I..." Lu Jin hesitated.

"Tell me, there is nothing we can't talk about between us. As long as you are not the one making trouble outside, everything can be discussed."

Shi Yan deliberately joked just to make Lu Jin relax.

"This time my tutor approached me and said there was an opportunity to study abroad in the UK. My tutor recommended me and the school has approved me. He asked me what I thought. If I am willing, I will leave next month for two years."

"Jiaojiao, I really want to go, can you wait for me?"

Lu Jin didn't want to say those hypocritical words, such as "If you don't want me to go, I won't go", and put the blame on the other party.

But he had already agreed, and then asked his young wife if she was willing to wait for him, which was actually very irresponsible.

Because, if his wife said she didn't want to wait, he would not let go.
