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

The day Yan Xiaoxiao got her grades was the day she officially had her holiday. She scored full marks, ranking first in the school, and it also marked the end of her auditing life.

She won't come to audit classes again after the New Year. She has learned all the knowledge she needs to learn and has walked the path she needs to walk.

There is so much to learn that there is no time to waste.

She wants to be a top student, but one that suits her.

Teacher Li was reluctant to let Yan Xiaoxiao go, so he gave her a set of junior high school textbooks used by his own children, a complete set, covering three years of junior high school.

Yan Xiaoxiao was very grateful. She was just wondering where to find these things. She thanked him again and again and put them in her schoolbag.

Teacher Li originally wanted to send the books home, after all, the books were quite heavy, but he didn't expect Yan Xiaoxiao to carry them directly on her shoulders.

She kept telling Yan Xiaoxiao to study hard, not to be proud, and to ask her if she had any questions when school started.

Yan Xiaoxiao kept nodding and left Teacher Li's office reluctantly.

Yin Xiu also told the principal that she would take a leave after the New Year and would not come here anymore. The school had already found a successor teacher.

The mother and daughter left the school hand in hand. They looked back as they walked out of the school gate, and then smiled at each other.

Yan Xiaoxiao held Yin Xiu's hand tightly. The snow on the ground had not melted yet, so she carefully led Yin Xiu towards home.

It was not yet noon when she got home. Yan Xiaoxiao didn't know what to do for a moment. She had already memorized the book "Learn to Read Faces" that her master gave her last time.

She read most of the medical books she brought back. Although she had no practical experience, she now had a lot of theoretical knowledge.

What she lacks now is practice. Thinking of this, Yan Xiaoxiao is looking forward to traveling next year. She will definitely gain a lot.

Speaking of practice, Yan Qing gave her a surprise in the afternoon.

After Yan Xiaoxiao finished refining another batch of medicine, Yan Qing suddenly said, "Xiaoxiao, come with me tomorrow morning and tell your parents that you won't be back at noon."

Yan Xiaoxiao quickly agreed without even asking where they were going.

The next day, under the south wall of a house in the town.

Yan Xiaoxiao wrapped herself in her military coat, which was a bit big and let in air.

In front of me is a straight road with stalls on both sides of the road. Some are placed on shelves, and some are placed directly on the ground. They are lined up next to each other with no end in sight.

The streets are bustling with people. Today is the town's market day, which happens once every five days. Especially since schools are on holiday and it is the end of the year, there are even more people.

Yan Xiaoxiao glanced at her master who was also wrapped in a military coat and squatting at the foot of the wall. She said that this place was not bad. It could get sun and was sheltered from the wind. Especially since the terrain was high, she could see everything.

People passing by couldn't help but take a second look at the master and disciple, especially Yan Xiaoxiao, a delicate little girl who was curled up in a military coat with only her round head sticking out. She was squatting next to an old man, looking weird no matter how you looked at her.

Some kind-hearted people came over and asked Yan Xiaoxiao if she couldn't find her home, who was the person next to her, and whether she should be sent back.

Yan Xiaoxiao lamented that people in this era are simple and honest, and her heart is warm at the same time. There are still many good people in the world!

"Xiaoxiao, do you see the middle-aged man walking towards you from the left? Look carefully at his face, what do you see?"

Yan Xiaoxiao looked at it for a long time, recalling what she had memorized in her mind. "This person has a full forehead, a square chin, and a nose like a hanging gallbladder. Hmm, he has the appearance of being rich and noble."

Just as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head. "He is fat and looks rich. He is almost like a pig. How can he not have a full forehead and a square chin? Look carefully!"

Yan Xiaoxiao stared at the person until he walked away, then she looked away and blinked her big eyes innocently. She really didn't see anything.

Yan Qing glared at her, then changed his target and pointed at the lazy young man walking towards him from the right and said, "Look at him, what do you see?"

Yan Xiaoxiao looked for a while, then suddenly stood up and ran, but her military coat was too big and she tripped and fell off.

This scared Yan Qing and he hurried to help her.

Yan Xiaoxiao pointed at the young man and shouted, "Catch him, he's a thief!"

The young man was startled. The lady in front of him turned her head and saw him holding her wallet in his hand. She immediately reached out and grabbed him.

People around also saw it, and some brave people stepped forward to help restrain the young man who was trying to escape.

The crowd suddenly became chaotic, and finally a few people took the young man away, saying that they were going to send him to the police station. The noisy street finally returned to calm, and no one noticed Yan Xiaoxiao and Yan Qing.

The master and the disciple huddled under the wall again. Yan Qing asked angrily, "You only saw that the man was a thief? What about his face? Did you see it clearly?"

Yan Xiaoxiao shook her head. The situation was urgent at the time and her attention was immediately attracted by the man's outstretched hand. She didn't even see what the man looked like.

Yan Qing let out a long breath and pointed at a young girl who was walking in front of them. He said angrily, "Then look at her carefully and tell me what you see."

His voice rose unconsciously, and the young girl heard it immediately and looked up.

The girl was immediately furious. "What are you pointing at, you old man? What are you looking at? If you dare to behave like a hooligan, I'll send you to the police station."

Yan Qing: ...

Yan Xiaoxiao: …

It was not until the girl walked away cursing that Yan Xiaoxiao withdrew her gaze and looked at her master, whose face was ashen, and asked weakly, "Master, are you still watching?"

"What are you looking at? Don't you think it's embarrassing enough? Change places!"

The master and the disciple found a crossroads and squatted in a gap on the side. There was no sunlight here and the wind was strong. Yan Xiaoxiao huddled in her coat and shivered.

Yan Qing seemed to have suffered a blow and hadn't recovered yet. He was listless and had lost his previous spirit.

"Dang!" What Yan Xiaoxiao saw were five one-cent coins on the ground.

Yan Xiaoxiao looked up and saw only a figure walking away.

After exchanging a glance with her master, Yan Xiaoxiao shrank back into her military coat.

Wow, Master’s expression is so scary!

"Dangdang!" The sound of "Dangdang" was heard several times, but Yan Xiaoxiao never raised her head again until she heard a voice, "Child, take the money, buy some steamed buns and go home quickly! It's so cold, don't catch a cold!"

Yan Xiaoxiao looked up and met a kind face. The woman handed five yuan to Yan Xiaoxiao. When she saw Yan Xiaoxiao's face clearly, she was obviously stunned for a moment.

"No, grandma, we are not..." Yan Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the old lady who had come back to her senses.

"Take it! Buy some food and take your grandpa home quickly!" After saying that, he stuffed the money into Yan Xiaoxiao's arms and left.

Yan Xiaoxiao stared at the money for a while before looking up at her master.

At this time, Yan Qing's face had returned to its usual calmness, and he uttered two words expressionlessly, "Go home!".
