"Sister, I'm willing to go to Sichuan Province with you."
Bai Qingxia and Song Hao showed relieved smiles on their faces. Although they were reluctant to leave their child, these reluctances seemed insignificant compared to the child's future.
Yang Lifen's mood was very complicated. She was happy for her good friend, but also very reluctant to leave.
Before going to bed at night, Song Yun did not practice martial arts for the first time, but instead pulled Yang Lifen aside to chat.
"Lifen, I've always had a hunch that the college entrance exam will be reinstated one day, and it won't be too far off. We're still young, so don't think about romance, marriage, and having children. Just focus on studying hard and thoroughly. Ask my parents if you don't understand something. Don't ever slack off. Once that day comes, all your hard work will come in handy."
Yang Lifen was looking forward to that day. She hugged Song Yun's arm and asked, "What about you? You've gone to the Sichuan Provincial Military Region to be a military doctor. Will you still study and take the college entrance examination?"
"Of course I will. I must study at the highest institution of learning in Beijing. My parents told me that there's a Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Beijing University. There's a very talented old Chinese doctor there. He has a long family background in Chinese medicine. It's said that his ancestors were famous imperial physicians who were even mentioned in history books."
The old Chinese doctor's surname was Zhong. Of course, she chose to go to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Peking University not only because her parents mentioned Professor Zhong, but also because Professor Zhong was the genius pharmacist her master had once mentioned. Although he survived the movement by chance, he was stabbed in the back by the disciple he had taught with countless efforts after he was rehabilitated. Half a year after the rehabilitation, he ended up with a miserable end.
Every time the master mentioned Professor Zhong, he sighed with emotion, saying that he had inherited all the true teachings from his ancestors and had many wonderful prescriptions for elixirs and ointments. His disciple had harmed him in order to get the prescriptions in his hands.
She studied ancient medical skills, so naturally she also had to learn how to make pills, pastes and soups. She learned quite well, but her master said that she was far inferior to Master Zhong.
If she had such an opportunity, how could she miss it?
Thinking of her master, she wondered if she and her master would meet again in this life, and how they would meet.
Yang Lifen's words interrupted her thoughts, "Then let's make a deal. If the college entrance examination is really resumed one day, we will both apply to Beijing University."
Yang Lifen is also from Beijing, so she certainly knows the value of Beijing University. If she gets admitted to Beijing University, her parents will definitely be crazy with joy.
"Okay. But you must study hard. With your current grades, you're still a long way from getting into Beijing North. Do the questions you're having trouble understanding a few more times. Ask questions if you don't understand. My parents are both university professors, so they're free teachers here. Don't waste your time."
The two sisters talked in bed for half the night and fell asleep only when they couldn't bear it anymore.
The next morning, Song Yun started packing.
In fact, she didn't bring much, just some clothes to change into, and she didn't bring any food except for what she would eat on the way.
Although there is a lot of food stored at home, it will take a long time before the spring thaw. Even if spring comes, they have so many mouths to feed, and no amount of food will be enough.
She counted the money in her hand and found that she had only 3,100 yuan left. Qi Mo Nan had given her 3,000 yuan at the beginning. After deducting some expenses, she had more than 3,200 yuan left.
She returned all of Qi Mo'nan's money to Old Qi. Now they had freedom and could manage their own money. Even if they couldn't go to town, they could ask Lifen or the villagers to help them buy things.
Mr. Qi was dumbfounded when he saw so much money. "Where did it come from?"
"Qi Mo Nan gave it to me. He was on a mission that was probably very dangerous. He gave me all the money and asked me to take care of you for him. Fortunately, he came back safely, and the money should be returned to me."
Seeing that Mr. Qi was very moved, she continued, "Qi Mo Nan gets a salary every month, so he doesn't need a lot of money. You don't know how long you'll be staying here. You can use this money to keep it handy when you need it. But you must hide it well, don't trust the villagers too much, and pretend to be poor instead of showing off your wealth."
