Xie Liuyun waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal, I was suddenly hit from behind, and I was a little unpredictable. Fortunately, it was me. If an old man stood here, he would probably fall to the ground and be injured."

After hearing Xie Liuyun's words, the middle-aged man walking with the boy couldn't help but scold him again.

The boy stood nervously, lowered his head and listened obediently and scolded him.

Seeing the boy's restrained appearance, Xie Liuyun couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward to persuade the middle-aged man not to scold the boy anymore.

Seeing Xie Liuyun saying good things, the middle-aged man couldn't say anything anymore, so he clasped his fists at Xie Liuyun, "What this gentleman reminds me is that my disciple is a bit rough, and I will train you well in the future. Today I have bumped into you. You are not only not interested in villains, but not only do you not have the same knowledge as him, but also speak for him. You are such a good person!"

Xie Liuyun looked up and down at the middle-aged man and thought to himself, "I really didn't expect that they were masters and apprentices? If I didn't say anything, would they still think they were father and son?"

"Where are you going?"

Xie Liuyun felt that the master and apprentice were quite interesting, so he couldn't help but ask.

When the middle-aged man heard Xie Liuyun's question, his face was filled with sorrow and said, "I'm not going to take his apprentice out for a while and let the child see the world. It's time to become a disciple."

Xie Liuyun lined up and communicated with him. At this time, the boy had exchanged positions with the middle-aged man to facilitate the two of them to speak.

"Is this a good thing? Why do you look worried when you see you?"

"Sir, you don't know anything! This has been a war for years, and it's not easy to make a living wherever you go. If you are struggling outside, no one knows what will happen in the future."

"Where are you going?"

"Handan, Hebei, go there and try your luck."

"Oh! Handan is a good place. Are you going there because you are familiar with it or for some other reason?"

"To be honest, we have fellow villagers over there. I heard that they are doing well, so I went to join us, maybe I could get better."

“Where are you from?”

"I am our local one. If it weren't for the sake of making a living, who would have wanted to leave his hometown?"

Xie Liuyun listened and felt a little moved. The warlords had been separating and fighting over the years, and the people were living too hard.

In this year, the soldiers were fighting for their lives, "three hundred and sixty days a year, mostly by horseback," and the people lived a difficult life with "the country and the country entered the war, and the people were happy to live in the woods and suspense." Only those in power were busy fighting for power and profit, "don't talk about being a marquis with the lords, and one general succeeded and ten thousand bones were undone." In such a huge country, no one would really care about the lives of the people.

Whenever Xie Liuyun thought about this, he sighed when the world could be truly peaceful?

He only regrets that he is a scholar, with no power to tie a chicken, no wisdom or talent to be wise, but just "has the will to serve the country without any way, and has a strong support for life."

As a bridge engineer, he has no chance to realize his dream of building a bridge.

He once submitted the carefully designed and drawn bridge planning map to the bureau for more than two years, hoping to implement it, hoping to contribute to Tonglu's transportation construction and solve the problem of people's difficulty in travel.

However, the superiors he waited for said that the proposal he submitted did not conform to the actual situation in society and his plan was rejected by his superiors.

He repeatedly reported to his superiors that he would strive for opportunities to establish construction projects, but he always encountered a harsh problem and was even criticized by his superiors, saying that he was too ambitious, willing to pursue unrealistic honors, and had a strong sense of fame and fortune.

He had no way to serve the country and was even labeled with a few false hats for no reason, which once made him very depressed.

Disheartened, he put all his planning and design drawings in the box and pushed them under the bed, too lazy to move.

The one that was left in the box was not only the drawings, but also his career and dreams. He was so sad that he didn't want to touch him again.

As an engineer at the Highway Bureau, what he does now is to check the use of existing bridges every day, and to count the places where bridges and roads need to be repaired, which is no different from statisticians.

There are projects under construction, and Xie Liuyun is young and a technical backbone, and will always be sent to the project department by following the construction unit.

At this time, Xie Liuyun is happy. It is better to be in a busy construction site than to be dazed in a lifeless office.

Of course, the construction units he followed were engineering companies established by foreigners, and the road administration projects publicly tendered by the Highway Bureau. Ironically, there were no Chinese companies in the units that undertake the construction.

All of these are because their highway bureau has no funds to build new bridge and road projects. Facing the weak national strength, they can only allow wealthy foreigners to build companies. They are also helpless when they are angry.

In this case, in the words of the old man Duan Gong at Xie Liuyun and his bridge, "The highway bureau does not build roads and only looks at the roads, and does not build bridges and only crosses the bridges." The highway bureau is a decoration of a government department, which is not useful.

These engineering and technical personnel are completely different from those mediocre bureaucrats who are drunk and dreaming.

Those who are in vain will eventually be eliminated. Those who have real talents and knowledge will disdain to join them.

The technicians in the Highway Bureau encouraged each other that although the current environment is not good, the country's difficult situation will definitely improve. Even if they are in the dark and there is no dawn, they have not lost their belief in building their motherland, otherwise they would not have come here to work and will continue to persevere.

As a member of these people, Xie Liuyun always reminds himself that since he has no chance to realize his wish to turn the barrier into a thoroughfare, he should study hard, accumulate knowledge, and accumulate experience. When the opportunity comes, he will definitely show his strength and display his ambitions.

Xie Liuyun believes that this day will definitely come. After all, she is still young and still has time.

Seeing Xie Liuyun silent, the middle-aged man asked, "Sir, is it that I was wrong and you are displeased?"

"No, I just suddenly thought of something."

"Oh! That's good, sir, where are you going?"

"I'm going to visit relatives and go back to my hometown."

In order to change the topic, Xie Liuyun deliberately asked the middle-aged man: "What are you and your apprentice doing? You still have to go out to make a living. Isn't it the same here?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and rubbed his hands, "We are magicians, and it is necessary to travel around the world. Whether you want to or not, eating this bowl of rice is destined. Now that the apprentice has learned it, it will not be possible if you don't take it out for some experience. Do you think so?"

Xie Liuyun nodded, feeling that the middle-aged man's words made some sense.
