Rebirth in the 1980s: Xiaoxiao's road to becoming a top student

That morning, after Yan Xiaoxiao came back from her fifth grandfather's house, she did not go to the brigade headquarters to find her grandfather to learn how to read.

Anyway, she basically knows all the commonly used characters. She can look up the ones she doesn't know in the dictionary and learn them slowly. Grandpa plans to teach her arithmetic in a few days.

When Yan Xiaoxiao returned to the supply and marketing cooperative, there was no one there. It was still some time before noon, and most of the villagers were still working in the fields and had not returned yet.

Yan Guoqing was washing his brother's soiled clothes. He was a little surprised to see Yan Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, why did you come back so early today?"

Seeing her younger brother sitting on the ground next to her and having fun, Yan Xiaoxiao brought a small stool and moved closer to her father.

"Dad, have you ever thought about going out and taking a look?"

Yan Guoqing laughed when he heard this. Why hadn't he thought about it? He had always dreamed of going out to try his luck. He still had a wife and children. What would happen to his family if he left?

"Xiaoxiao, why do you ask?"

Yan Xiaoxiao sighed, "I heard that Mom wanted to quit her job at school, so I wanted to ask you what your plans were!"

Yan Guoqing was amused, "Children should not interfere in adult affairs."

"Do you think that children don't know anything? Let me tell you that I am not an ordinary child. Grandpa Wu Zu said that I am a genius."

Yan Xiaoxiao didn't want to say anything because of her father's contempt. But she had to make her father take her words seriously today.

Yan Huyou started to speak online, "Dad, what time is it now? It's the era of reform and opening up. There is gold everywhere outside. As long as you want to do it and take action, getting rich is not just a slogan. Now is the time for you to fight for your career. If there are difficulties, overcome them. How can you let difficulties become obstacles?"

Yan Xiaoxiao's words touched Yan Guoqing's heart. He was unwilling to go home and farm after retiring from the army, but for various reasons he could not make up his mind to go out and make a living. He was trapped in this small supply and marketing cooperative all day long, feeling very depressed.

Seeing that her father's men were moving slower and slower, with a thoughtful look on his face, Yan Xiaoxiao added fuel to the fire.

She approached him mysteriously and whispered, "Grandpa Wu Zu said that your fortune is in the south. If you go out, you will definitely get rich, and it will be very auspicious."

Yan Guoqing was really moved this time, "Did Grandpa Wuzu really say that?"

Yan Xiaoxiao looked calm and nodded her head vigorously, thinking in her heart: Grandpa Fifth Ancestor, please forgive me, I have no choice but to use your banner, I hope you won't mind!

But you know what, this banner really works!

Yan Guoqing's expression changed, and finally he became resolute. He had no doubt about what Grandpa Wu said. He had seen Grandpa Wu's ability the year he returned home from military service, and he felt that it was not something that ordinary people could do.

When Yan Guoqing came back to his senses, he met the big smiling face of his little one. He rubbed the little head in front of him, his eyes full of smiles.

Yan Xiaoxiao was satisfied. She ate her lunch without any worries and went to sleep with her little butt sticking out. She heard her parents talking in a daze. She curled her lips slightly, turned over and continued to sleep. She didn't wake up until around four in the afternoon.

Yan Xiaoxiao lay on the bed in a daze for a long time before her eyes gradually focused.

Since her rebirth, Yan Xiaoxiao has always been worried.

She was afraid! She was afraid that she would go down the same path as in her previous life; she was afraid that the fate of her family would remain the same as in her previous life and could not be changed; she was afraid that she would let down this new life.

In fact, she is still that ordinary country girl. Now that she has solved a big problem in her heart, she feels weak all over when she relaxes. In one word - tired, tiredness spreading from the bottom of her heart!

Yan Xiaoxiao still forced herself to get up from the bed and washed her face, but she didn't know what to do. After a long pause, she got up and went out, thinking of just strolling around the village.

After wandering around the village like a ghost, Yan Xiaoxiao unknowingly walked to the gate of Grandfather Wu Zu's courtyard, smiled bitterly, and was about to leave. She was in a bad mood today and was not suitable for cultivation.

"Girl, come in!" The old voice exploded in Yan Xiaoxiao's ears. Yan Xiaoxiao rubbed her ears, pushed open the door and walked in.

Still at the door of the cottage, still at that small table, the old man still sat leisurely sipping tea, but this time the tea was so fragrant that one could tell it was no ordinary tea.

The old man picked up the teapot, filled the empty cup beside him, and pushed it in front of Yan Xiaoxiao.

Yan Xiaoxiao quickly took it with both hands. She was really thirsty, so she picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

The old man shook his head. "You've ruined this tea!"

Yan Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, "Isn't this just to quench people's thirst?"

"Can't you be a little more elegant? But you are right, this is to quench people's thirst!" The old man laughed, and his laughter showed satisfaction and approval of Yan Xiaoxiao.

Yan Xiaoxiao was full of thoughts and didn't listen carefully. She lowered her eyes and immersed herself in her own thoughts.

The shabby courtyard fell silent for a moment, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Xiaoxiao suddenly woke up. She felt as if she had just entered a mysterious realm. There seemed to be something extra in her body, but she couldn't detect it when she felt carefully.

She looked at the old man in surprise, "What just happened?"

The old man was very happy, even excited, which Yan Xiaoxiao had never seen before. "Haha, good! I was right, you are a treasure! Good disciple, uh, good Xiaoxiao, you made me proud! Haha!"

Yan Xiaoxiao: …

What did she do? She seemed to be in a daze for a while.

Confused Yan Xiaoxiao was driven out of the yard. Her stomach started to growl and she realized it was already past dinner time. She quickened her pace to go home.

At night, Yan Xiaoxiao woke up and heard her parents whispering again. They must be discussing her proposal. Yan Xiaoxiao chuckled twice without opening her eyes.

Yan Guoqing and Yin Xiu were so confused by the two laughs that they looked at each other for a long time before they realized that their daughter was dreaming.

When she woke up the next day, Yin Xiu jokingly asked Yan Xiaoxiao what kind of dream she had the night before. Yan Xiaoxiao was speechless. She quickly washed up and ran out.

Today, Grandpa Wu Zu threw her another tattered book - "Things Between Heaven and Earth".

Yan Xiaoxiao: …

She opened the book and took a look. This time she recognized most of the traditional Chinese characters. She could even guess the general idea of ​​the ones she didn't recognize. It talked about the relationship and operation of the five elements between heaven and earth.

Yan Xiaoxiao didn’t know why she was learning all this, but adhering to the principle of learning more and talking less, she began to recite according to the requirements of Grandpa Wuzu.

For some reason she memorized very quickly this time and had memorized a dozen difficult pages in less than half an hour.

She was surprised, and Grandpa Wu Zu nodded with satisfaction. Then it was still the daily standing posture and medicinal bath. The breakfast was still rich, and there was an extra bowl of ginseng soup.

The original words of Grandpa Wu Zu, "To strengthen your muscles and bones, you must ensure that you have enough nutrition. From now on, you will have soup to drink every morning!"

Yan Xiaoxiao still asked the question in her mind, "Will eating like this make you even poorer?"

The old man glanced at her and said, "Just you? I can afford to support a hundred more!"
