"......"

My aunt prepared lunch. She picked a few tomatoes from the backyard and made egg noodles using eggs she picked up from the chicken coop this morning.

I bought a whole bag of bulk noodles at the department store and put them in to make a full pot.

My aunt fried the two field mice she brought back yesterday. Of course she didn't eat them because she couldn't accept eating mouse meat. She only ate a bowl of noodles and a plate of field mouse meat, which the men in the family ate.

After dinner, we basked in the sun outside for a while and then everyone in the family went back into the house for a nap.

She also went back to the house and entered the space, but did not rest. If she rested at noon, she would definitely not be able to sleep at night, so she spent her time reading in the space.

She was reading Grandpa Fu’s previous collection of books, which contained cases of difficult and complicated diseases and treatment methods, which she found very interesting.

We do not have the advanced machines of later generations. In later generations, basically all lesions can be detected by machines.

In this era, all pathologies are basically treated based on the doctor's diagnosis, so the doctors of this era are many times more technically advanced than doctors of later generations.

Grandpa Fu was a great man. I wonder how many patients he had seen to be able to compile so many difficult and complicated cases.

The treatment methods are recorded in great detail. This case note is probably a rare treasure for all doctors.

But such an important thing is a banned book in this era.

Traditional Chinese medicine is something that was passed down by our ancestors, but now it is being suppressed like this...

Why...

Thinking is wrong for the country...

She read the cases very carefully, and when she encountered obscure or difficult to understand passages, she would write them down in a notebook and study them later when she had the chance.

Fu Xiao was watching so intently that she didn't pay attention when someone called her.

When she came to her senses, she heard Fu Hong calling her again. She quickly came out of the space and opened the door.

"Second brother, what's wrong?"

Fu Hong asked her with a smile: "Are you asleep?"

She shook her head. "I was too engrossed in reading. Brother, do you have something to talk to me about..."

Fu Yu took over the conversation: "It's okay, he is just looking for trouble, just continue reading your book."

Seeing her two brothers change into a pair of rain boots, she walked over and asked in confusion, "What are you doing...?"

Fu Hong said to her happily: "We are going to open a river channel to irrigate the wasteland this afternoon, so we can catch fish... I was wondering if you want to go..."

Fishing? ...She is very interested.

Just as I was about to nod, Fu Yu said calmly, "The water is too cold, you can't go.

Li Xiufen, who was sitting in the sun, said without question, "Yes, girls can't catch a cold. Do you see any women going down to the river?"

After saying that, he glared at Fu Hong and said, "You idiot, get out of here quickly..."

Fu Hong smiled at her, and the two brothers went out together.

Her aunt waved at her, and when she came closer, she pulled her to sit on the small stool beside her.

"Xiaoxiao, what book were you reading at noon... Do you want to go to school?"

She sat next to her aunt and watched her sew clothes. She lowered her voice and said, "I was reading the medical book left by my grandfather."

Li Xiufen kept sewing with the needle and thread, thinking for a moment and then quietly reminding her, "Then watch it at home, don't take it out, dear."

He sewed another edge, tied a knot, bit the thread with his teeth, looked at her and said, "It's not so bad in our village, but the turmoil in the county is even worse. You don't know how many people from the Revolutionary Committee have been arrested... What a sin..."

He stroked her hand gently and said, "No one in my family objects to your studying medicine, but we still have to be cautious..."

Fu Xiao nodded and said softly, "Aunt, I know. I hid it well. I'll burn it after I'm done reading it."

"good..."

Li Xiufen reconnected the needle and thread, switched sides and continued sewing. "When I hear news from your third uncle, I'll take you to the county to enroll in school. Learn more things that will be useful in the future."

She nodded, thought for a while, and asked the question that had puzzled her for a long time: "Aunt, why doesn't my third uncle get married?"

When Li Xiufen heard her ask this, she stopped moving her hands, as if she was missing something.

After thinking for a moment, he sighed and said sadly: "Your third uncle had a classmate before. They had a very good relationship and were about to get married. In the end, the girl married someone else. Since then, your third uncle has never mentioned marriage..."

Fu Xiao frowned and said angrily, "Why would that girl want to marry someone else? Isn't this bullying..."

My aunt sighed and said helplessly, "That girl came to our house before. I don't think she is a bad woman. As for marrying someone else, I'm afraid she had no choice. Xiaoxiao, don't hate her, and don't mention this in front of your uncle. Everyone in the family can see that your uncle doesn't blame her, but only himself. It's been so many years, and I'm afraid he hasn't let it go... Alas... This situation has really created a lot of people who have no choice."

Fu Xiao didn't quite understand the situation. After hearing what his aunt said, he just nodded in realization.

Fu Xiao has lived two lives, and it can be said that she has never experienced any love life. She does not understand the feeling of being unable to control one's emotions, and she feels that she will never experience it in this lifetime.

Although she has no experience, she is a rational person. If she wants something, she will try her best to get it. If she can't get someone even after trying her best, she will forget him.

Could she have imagined that her elegant and astute third uncle would be obsessed with someone?
