Chapter 1： Coming to the fog of 1977 years to the plane of Xiangjiang

Bao Zixuan is in a good mood these days. He has not been home since he came to London from Hong Kong to study two years ago; he is finally going home. As one of the few students in Hong Kong who were directly admitted to Oxford University and MIT as exchange students from middle school, they were awarded degrees from both schools after graduation. This is a student who will be valued in any country in the world; it is extremely rare.

I haven't seen my mother since I left Xiangjiang at the age of 17. It is very difficult for my mother to bring me up by herself. In order to save on travel expenses and earn a little extra money during the holidays to reduce the stress of mothers. It can be said that Bao Zixuan has done a lot of work in the past two years. He has worked as a tour guide, a translator and even a waiter in a Chinese restaurant at the beginning.

Xiangjiang, a port city that was settled by the British during the Qing Dynasty, will completely return to the embrace of Huaxia in another 20 years. However, in many cases, things are still done according to the British style, so the first choice for many outstanding students in Hong Kong to study abroad is the British university. It was against this background that Bao Zixuan was forced by a single mother to come here to study.

This summer vacation has 45 days. By the beginning of September, Bao Zixuan will go to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to report. He will then complete his remaining two years of studies at MIT, thinking that he will be able to see his mother soon. . Bao Zixuan boarded the plane with the gift that had been prepared.

There were other students from Xiangjiang on the same flight as him. Because he is usually not in the same circle, he is quickly ignored. To say that Bao Zixuan is not very handsome, but with a height of 178 cm, plus a little melancholy temperament; and the bonus of a famous school can still attract some girls.

However, apart from classrooms and laboratories every day, this Xiangjiang boy who was working and on the way to work did not give any girls a chance to approach him at all. In addition, his performance in Oxford, which is full of geniuses, was only average. Over time, the female students in Oxford did not pay attention to him, and he was quickly forgotten in the corner.

This also happened to make Bao Zixuan spend more of his time on work and study. He only attended the Xiangjiang student gathering in London twice, so he was seen as a different kind by his fellow villagers in Xiangjiang. Other students are either majoring in finance or architecture; Xiangjiang is very good at entering the mainstream courses of the elite, and he is the only one who has chosen aviation power and mechanical manufacturing; a standard science and engineering male.

Watching the twos and threes on the plane chatting, Bao Zixuan was looking at the research direction of CNC machine tools in a position by the window, a book that only a few people in Oxford could understand. Seeing a middle-aged man next to the book he was reading, he was interested to read it for a while. He chatted with his daughter who was sitting next to him.

The middle-aged man is about 45 years old and looks like a superior person; especially his eyes give a very sharp feeling. In fact, what Bao Zixuan didn't know was that the middle-aged man's name was Zhang Yuliang. He was the second generation of a famous and wealthy family in Xiangjiang, and his family had a very deep influence in Xiangjiang. It's just that the Zhang family has been developing in a low-key manner and has not attracted as much attention as other emerging families. Although Zhang Yuliang is the fourth eldest in the ranking, everyone with a discerning eye knows that; with his ability, he will definitely squeeze out the three older brothers to become the new head of the Zhang family. This time I came to the UK for a business trip and knew that my daughter was going back to Hong Kong from London; in order to spend more time with my daughter, I told my subordinates to leave first after finishing work. After waiting for two days, I boarded the plane with my daughter to go back to Hong Kong; but because I was in a hurry when booking air tickets, I could only take the economy class.

Zhang Yuliang's daughter, Zhang Youran, is 20 years old this year and is a third-year student majoring in accounting in the Department of Finance at Cardiff University. In fact, Zhang Youran looks pretty good, the kind of girl who can score 80 points. It's just that some people can't let go in front of Zhang Yuliang. It's no wonder that Zhang's family in Xiangjiang is strict, and Zhang Youran was born by Zhang Yuliang's third wife. In the 1950s and 1960s, the ancient law was still used in Xiangjiang, and it was possible to have multiple wives. It was not abolished until the past two years.

Seeing Zhang Youran, he was a little cautious. After the plane flew smoothly, Zhang Yuliang looked at the young man sitting next to him. From the moment he got on the plane, the young man who had read nothing but books, as if in his heart only books could bring him happiness, aroused some curiosity.

Zhang Yuliang took the initiative to find a topic in order to make her daughter less cautious and let go in front of her. Turning to her daughter's ear, she asked in a low voice, "Of course, do you know the boy next to you?"

Zhang Youran: "He doesn't belong to our school, he should be from London, but I haven't seen him at the Xiangjiang Student Gathering. However, when I read the title of the book, I heard some rumors about him."

Zhang Yuliang: "Is he famous!"

Zhang Youran: "It's not very famous, it's just that there are few Xiangjiang students who choose science and engineering, and they should be studying in Oxford. Basically, I didn't attend the gathering of the Xiangjiang students, so everyone just heard of such a person."

Zhang Yuliang: "What book did he read?"

Zhang Youran: "It seems to be about the machine tool."

At this time, Zhang Yuliang couldn't help but be curious and asked Bao Zixuan, "My dear Zhang Yuliang, I don't know what book the little brother is reading. I don't understand and I'm curious. Just ask."

When Bao Zixuan saw someone talking to him, he put down the book in his hand and said, "Hello Zhang Sheng, so you are also from Xiangjiang! This book is the research direction of CNC machine tools, and it is mainly a book about CNC machine tools. You have never seen it before. Not surprisingly, this is our school's internal teaching material."

Zhang Yuliang: "I don't know your little brother's surname, but which university are you studying at! After he finished speaking, he pointed to the side and said, this is my daughter studying at Cardiff University. Zhang Youran nodded politely."

Bao Zixuan: "Hello Zhang Sheng, don't be so polite. My name is Bao Zixuan, studying at Oxford University. You can just call me Xiaobao."

Zhang Yuliang: "Then I'll take off and call you Xiaobao; what major is Xiaobao studying? How old is this year?"

Bao Zixuan: "I majored in aerodynamics and mechanical manufacturing, and I am in my third year of school."

Zhang Yuliang: "My daughter is in her fourth year of school. You can get to know her. She has some support in the UK."

Bao Zixuan: "Maybe I'll disappoint Mr. Zhang. I'm going to America after school starts. I'll finish the next two years there."

Zhang Yuliang said with a smile: "Little brother is still a top student!" However, he didn't take this young man very euphemistically to heart, and when he was chatting without a word, the plane dinner was delivered. Everyone started to eat dinner!

The planes of this era can only fly to Hong Kong after refueling in Singapore, so it will take 20 hours to actually arrive in Hong Kong, but fortunately, everyone in Singapore can go down and have a rest.

The next morning, the plane was about to arrive at Xiangjiang in two hours. Zhang Youran was about to take out the contents of his suitcase, but did not pay attention to the dense clouds outside. UU read and Zhang Yuliang went to the bathroom again, so a girl didn't hold the suitcase tightly when the plane was shaking, but when she found out it was too late, I saw that the suitcase was just right and smashed inside On the head of the sleeping Bao Zixuan.

Hearing only the life-long cry of "Ah", the flight attendant immediately walked over to the place where the sound was made. It was none other than Zhang Youran who didn't hold the suitcase firmly. And Bao Zixuan, who was sleeping inside, was covered in blood and passed out. Seeing this situation, the flight attendants immediately began to take first aid measures for Bao Zixuan.

When Zhang Yuliang returned to his seat, he immediately understood something after seeing this scene, and hugged his daughter to comfort him all the time. While comforting, he said: Leave it to Dad, you don't have to worry.

Under the professional treatment of the flight attendant, Bao Zixuan finally woke up an hour later. But the current Bao Zixuan is not exactly the Xiangjiang teenager when he first got on the plane. In his soul at the same time lived an outstanding Chinese aircraft engine engineer from 50 years later; it can be said that Bao Zixuan of Rolls-Royce was reborn to the same name as himself 50 years ago, and he was still on the same plane from London to Xiangjiang. , but the advantage is that the memory of this life is perfectly preserved.

But Bao Zixuan, who just woke up, is still a little hazy. Seeing the dc-8, which has been out of use for many years, some still can't believe it is true. After dressing up, the stewardess returned to her seat after asking a few simple questions. During this process, the flight attendant said that insurance companies and airline managers would contact him for follow-up compensation issues.

When Bao Zixuan had just returned to his seat, Zhang Yuliang expressed his apology on behalf of his daughter and said that he would definitely give him a satisfactory answer when he arrived in Xiangjiang; at the same time, the plane was preparing to land.
