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

Yan Xiaoxiao stayed in the provincial capital for another two days, witnessed the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and returned to Xiaohe Village on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

In the past two days, a major event happened in the provincial capital. It was said that the provincial police destroyed a human traffickers' den and arrested more than a dozen human traffickers and their accomplices. Some officials of the provincial government departments were implicated, and a major reshuffle took place.

Yan Xiaoxiao heard the news on the bus. Many people were talking about it, and she knew that the National Security Bureau must have been involved, otherwise the government officials would not have been brought down so quickly.

After those bad apples are caught, there will definitely be more suitable people to take over. She believes that the provincial capital will develop better.

During the ten-plus days that Yan Xiaoxiao stayed at her aunt's house, Liu Hua's enthusiasm for studying changed visibly.

Yan Yu'e's previous idea reappeared. She discussed with Yan Xiaoxiao that she wanted Yan Xiaoxiao to transfer her household registration to her home so that she could go to primary school directly in the provincial capital.

Yan Xiaoxiao smiled and refused. Not to mention that she couldn't stand going to primary school again and wasting time, but traveling with her master in three months was what she was looking forward to the most.

When Yan Yu'e heard that Yan Xiaoxiao was going to travel with her master, she opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing, thinking that it would be better for her to discuss the matter with her brother and sister-in-law.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Yan Yu'e sent Yan Xiaoxiao and her grandmother back to Xiaohe Village.

Although she had only been away for about ten days, Yan Xiaoxiao still felt a little dazed, as if she had been away from home for a long time.

Yin Xiu hugged his daughter and kissed her. He missed her so much. This was the first time his daughter left home.

At noon, Yan Guoqing prepared a meal and the family ate happily.

In the afternoon, my eldest uncle, second uncle, and third uncle all came to visit when they heard that their mother had returned.

There were people talking all afternoon, and Yan Yu'e heard a lot of praise about Yan Xiaoxiao from her three sisters-in-law.

Although she had heard it once during the Chinese New Year, she didn't pay much attention to it at that time. This time she listened carefully and asked many questions in detail.

It was not until after dinner that she found the opportunity to talk to her brother and sister-in-law.

He told Yan Guoqing about his idea of ​​wanting Yan Xiaoxiao to go to the provincial capital to study, and Yan Guoqing listened carefully.

"Sister, your suggestion is very good. If I can really go to the provincial capital to study, the education level will definitely be different from that in the village."

He paused for a moment and continued, "But sister, Xiaoxiao is now at the level of a junior high school graduate. Going back to elementary school would be a waste of time. Also, after Xiu'er gives birth to the baby, Xiaoxiao wants to go out traveling with her master."

What? Yan Yu'e was a little surprised. She couldn't believe that her brother would really let her daughter go out with someone else. Then she heard something even more surprising.

"Xiaoxiao is expected to be out for ten years!"

Yan Yu'e opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

If it was her daughter, she would never let such a young child go out. Looking carefully at the brother's expression, it was obvious that he was willing, or at least would not object.

"Sister, Xiaoxiao is different from other children. You can't use the thinking of other children to confine her!"

Yan Guoqing continued, "If it was in the village, I could keep her student status because the principal and teachers knew her level, but it would not be possible in the provincial capital.

When Xiaoxiao comes back ten years later, she won’t be too old and can continue to go to junior high school.

If it were in the provincial capital, no school would accept someone who had not been to school for ten years.”

Yan Yu'e knew without hesitation that what her brother said was the truth. She sighed and thought that it was unrealistic to bring Xiaoxiao, this sweet little girl, to her home.

"But sister, if Xiaoxiao does well in the high school entrance exam, I hope she can go to a key high school in the provincial capital."

Yan Yu'e was immediately delighted. "Really? That's great. I'll transfer Xiaoxiao's household registration to my house. With her intelligence, it won't be a problem for her to go to a key school."

While Yan Guoqing and Yan Yu'e were chatting, Yan Xiaoxiao was helping Yan Qing.

She rolled the freshly-cooked medicine into pills one by one, while telling her master about her experiences over the past few days.

Yan Qing listened and glanced at his little disciple from time to time. He wondered how come his disciple came back with so many merits after being away for a few days. So that's how it was.

Seeing that Yan Xiaoxiao was heartless and had no idea what a terrible thing she had done, he did not remind her.

This is in line with one's true nature and more in line with the will of heaven. Doing things deliberately will lack sincerity.

Yan Qing was smiling all night and was in a very good mood.

Yan Xiaoxiao felt more relaxed than ever before in front of her master. She was very comfortable and stayed there until midnight before going home.

The next day was the first day of school, but it made no difference to the Yan family.

Because there is no one in my family who is going to school, and no one wants to go to school to work.

After seeing off Yan Yu'e who was in a hurry to go back to the provincial capital to work, the family of four lived their own life behind closed doors.

Yan Xiaoxiao returned to her previous routine, getting up at five o'clock to go to her master's small courtyard.

Today Yan Qing conducted a comprehensive assessment on her, including her martial arts and previous learning content.

He was very satisfied with the test results. It seemed that Yan Xiaoxiao had not relaxed these days.

The result of Yan Qing's satisfaction was that he rewarded Yan Xiaoxiao with a table full of Manchu and Han dishes.

Yan Xiaoxiao ate until her stomach was bloated, and she put all the leftovers into her own space.

She found that her space could keep things fresh, and they would remain the same as when she put them in.

Yan Qing blew his beard and glared at her but failed to stop her.

Yan Xiaoxiao was scared! If she was kidnapped again, she would at least have food and drink in her space to ensure that she would not starve to death.

Yan Xiaoxiao also specifically asked Yan Guoqing for some vegetable seeds, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, eggplants, and even pumpkins, watermelons, wheat, and corn, as long as they were available at home, she asked for some seeds.

He also asked Yan Guoqing to go to the market and collect all the seeds he could find.

She cleared a small plot of land not far from the space medicinal field and planted a few of each vegetable.

When I entered the space again the next day, I was almost scared.

All the seeds that were planted have sprouted, some of them are over one foot tall. At this rate they will probably be mature the day after tomorrow.

Yan Xiaoxiao was astonished. This meant that the seeds of these vegetables would mature in three days. The first thought in her mind was - she would never have to worry about food and drink in this life!

Yan Xiaoxiao happily replanted the seedlings that needed to be divided, such as eggplant and tomatoes.

She knew all these, but she didn't know how to manage them in the later stages. But I guess this is not a problem. In this space, there will be a good harvest even if she doesn't take care of it, right?

As Yan Xiaoxiao expected, the vegetables matured in three days.

We don’t even know how they bloom and spread pollen, but we still get a good harvest.

The tomato branches fell directly to the ground, with the fruits like red lanterns hanging on them.

Yan Xiaoxiao looked at the thin branches and was worried that they would break.

The cucumbers were even more exaggerated, growing directly on the ground in winding patterns, entangled with other vegetables, and lying on the ground one by one.

Yan Xiaoxiao realized at this moment that she had forgotten to build a rack for these vegetables. Look, the vines of beans and pumpkins have been tangled together and probably cannot be separated.

The corners of her mouth twitched. Although she grew up in the countryside and had seen a lot of farming, she had zero practical experience. It was not her fault!

No one stipulates that people born in peasant families must know how to farm, right? Right?

This is the only way this time. I must plan well next time. Well, I should ask my dad for advice.

As soon as Yan Xiaoxiao took a bite of the tomato, all her complaints disappeared and only two words remained in her mind - delicious!

The sweet and sour taste is amazing!
