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

Yan Xiaoxiao will always remember the serious face of Grandpa Wuzu in the dilapidated courtyard on that hot summer day.

"Studying medicine requires not only talent, but also hard work! If you don't have the determination, don't study Chinese medicine. If you can't learn it well, then don't study it at all. I don't want there to be another executioner in the name of practicing medicine in this world!"

Yan Xiaoxiao was shocked by the desolate aura of the old man. At that moment, she suddenly understood why Grandpa Wu Zu had never mentioned to her about teaching her medicine.

Yan Xiaoxiao knelt straight down, with a serious look on her face, "I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue, I will definitely study hard!"

Grandpa Wu Zu pondered for a moment, his eyes stern, "Have you thought it through? If you are still at the level of your previous life, I will destroy you with my own hands!"

Yan Xiaoxiao was shocked, and then filled with shame and bitterness.

In her previous life, Yan Xiaoxiao chose medicine as her major in college, but she only managed to get into a specialized clinical program.

After three years, she learned nothing and was afraid to work in a hospital after graduation. She took the medical license exam twice but failed. Finally, she was discouraged and stopped taking the exam. She kept telling herself that she was not suitable to be a doctor.

Thinking of the self-deception in her previous life, Yan Xiaoxiao felt so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. For the first time, she realized that the profession of doctor might have become her inner demon.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Xiaoxiao mustered up the courage to raise her head, "I will definitely study hard, please teach me!"

After saying this, he bowed deeply.

She did not see the relief and pride in the old man's eyes. Even if she saw it, she would think it was her eyes. Pride? What was he proud of?

What Yan Xiaoxiao didn't know was that the old man admired her courage to face the past and her determination to correct her mistakes. He was happy to have a disciple who was in line with his heart in his old age and who could pass on his skills to him. Even with his eyes closed, he was smiling.

The old man was extremely satisfied with Yan Xiaoxiao in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He even seldom praised her, as he did not want his young disciple to become proud and complacent.

From that day on, Yan Xiaoxiao had one more thing to memorize, from Huangdi Neijing to Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, from the effects of various medicinal herbs to the acupuncture points of the human body, she had to memorize everything.

However, she didn't know if it was because of the obscure ancient texts she had memorized before, but she was able to understand them. Although she didn't understand them thoroughly, she still understood the general meaning. Moreover, her memory had improved a lot, so she didn't find it difficult to learn.

You know, in her previous life, when her Chinese medicine teacher asked them to read Huangdi Neijing, Yan Xiaoxiao didn't read it at all. Now she can memorize the whole book, and the satisfaction she feels is indescribable. Her enthusiasm for studying medicine is unprecedentedly high.

I schedule my time fully every day, and before I know it, it’s September and school has started.

That day, Yan Xiaoxiao brought a stool from home and sat in the third grade classroom. Her height was just up to the necks of other children, but she sat in the corner of the last row because she was there to attend the class for free.

It's so sad to talk about it. She learned too fast and her grandfather couldn't teach her.

Her grandfather was only at the level of an elementary school student and her parents didn't have time to teach her, so they had no choice but to ask the principal of the same village to arrange her for the third grade based on her current level, on the condition that she would not affect other children.

Before entering the class, Yan Xiaoxiao did a set of second-grade final exam papers in the principal's office, and of course she got full marks. The old principal was also a man who valued talent, so he immediately agreed to let her attend the class.

Yan Xiaoxiao became famous in the village all of a sudden. All the villagers knew that the Yan family had a little genius who was able to enter the third grade at the age of five.

No matter what others say, Yan Xiaoxiao is still very busy every day. She goes to school in the morning and spends most of the rest of the time at Grandpa Wu Zu's house.

Her parents were helpless with her behavior of always eating for free, so they brought two large bags of food to her and often sent her some vegetables from their own vegetable garden.

Now that Yin Hongjun couldn't see his granddaughter all day, he couldn't help but go to sit with Grandpa Wu Zu, and the two sides began to visit each other more frequently.

Yin Hongjun himself had a low level of education and usually never interrupted when Grandpa Wu Zu was teaching Yan Xiaoxiao. Even when Yan Xiaoxiao was punished, he would just watch with a smile.

One time, I accidentally saw the exquisite meals of the two people. I would go there every time it was time for dinner. While eating with my mouth full of oil, I complained that I used to eat pig food.

Finally, he even wanted to take all his own food to Grandpa Wu Zu's house, if there was no space in that small courtyard; if Grandpa Wu Zu had not asked him with a dark face to take it back, otherwise he would never get to eat a bite of his cooking in the future, Yin Hongjun would not stop.

Although it's embarrassing to eat for free every meal, it's still okay to go there every now and then to get a meal. Bring a chicken today and a bottle of wine tomorrow. At least you'll get something every time.

After so many times, I got used to it. When Yin Hongjun didn't come over one day, Grandpa Wu Zu would also say, "Why didn't your grandpa come today?"

The supply and marketing cooperative was sold as expected, and it was taken over by Yan Xiaoxiao's aunt and her family. Although Yan Xiaoxiao had some opinions about her cousin, she was still very close to her aunt and cousin.

In her previous life, she spent a long time at night with her aunt. At that time, her cousin worked in town and often worked night shifts. Her cousin and his wife went out to work together and were rarely at home.

Yan Xiaoxiao likes her aunt's house very much, because no one competes with her for the TV. She has the exclusive right to be there, and her aunt will save any delicious food for her.

The first time she went to the bathhouse to take a bath was when her cousin took her there, which left a deep impression on her childhood. Sometimes she would accompany her cousin on duty in the town, and her cousin would buy her all kinds of delicious food and beautiful little dresses.

Now my aunt's family still took over the supply and marketing cooperative like in the previous life, but several years earlier than in the previous life. Does this mean that my cousin will not have to go out to work? My aunt will also have someone to take care of her.

With Yan Xiaoxiao's implicit reminder, Yan Guoqing contacted his eldest sister in the provincial capital and went directly to the provincial capital during his free time.

When he came back three days later with a smile on his face, Yan Xiaoxiao felt relieved, thinking it must be good news.

Sure enough, Yin Hongjun contacted the villagers the next day and held a brief meeting. Yan Xiaoxiao did not go to join in the fun. Two days later, two large trucks drove into the village and stopped at the door of the cold storage at the entrance of the village. Many adults and children came to watch the fun.

After the truck loaded with apple boxes drove out of the village, Yin Hongjun gathered the villagers again and started distributing money. This time Yan Xiaoxiao was present. Listening to everyone's thanks and praise for her father, she held her little head high, feeling proud!

In the end, everyone had praised her until there was nothing more to praise, so they set their sights on her. She was praised so much that her face became hot, and she couldn't bear it any longer, so she had to leave.

Yan Guoqing's trip to the provincial capital broadened his horizons and made him realize more deeply what his daughter meant when she said that there are business opportunities everywhere.

He stayed at home for a few days, took half of his family savings - two thousand yuan, and went directly to the south.
