In this situation, the teachers didn't know what to say and had no choice but to report it to the principal.
The principal was an open-minded person. Seeing her confidence, he had the teachers give her some test questions on the spot, and said that if she got more than 90% of them right, he would approve her request.
Liu Shile agreed, and the teachers gave her questions on the spot. As a result, she answered all the questions accurately.
This surprised not only the teachers but also the principal, who had no idea that there were such promising students among today's new students!
Without hesitation, he agreed to her request, but also required her to come to school once a week and take any exams.
Most importantly, if grades drop, then they must return to the classroom; this was the principal's final requirement.
Liu Shile made a serious promise and sincerely thanked the principal and teachers before returning to the classroom, satisfied.
Originally, Liu Shihua disagreed with her sister's decision, but after learning about her sister's grades, she had no choice but to agree to let her not go to school.
In his opinion, his sister's idea was too far-fetched; even he couldn't accept it, and he doubted that the teachers and principal would agree.
But to everyone's surprise, they actually agreed!
"Lele, are you sure you won't miss class?" On the way home, Liu Shihua finally couldn't help but ask.
Liu Shile glanced at her second brother with amusement. He was probably wondering why the teachers and school leaders would let her not go to school.
"The principal said that if my grades drop, I have to go back to class, so don't worry, second brother, I know what I'm doing."
After taking the exam, Liu Shile had a better understanding of her current level. Besides, she hadn't wasted more than a month at school.
Not only did I read through all the textbooks in this semester, but I also got my hands on the books for the next semester and the next grade to read through.
Although she couldn't fully digest all that knowledge, her memory and mental strength were formidable. As long as she had seen it, even if she hadn't fully digested it, she could still recall and use it.
If the medical books weren't so abstract, Liu Shile felt she couldn't possibly only recognize some very common medicinal herbs.
But it doesn't matter now. Since I don't have to go to school, I can just find a job at a pharmacy. I asked Grandma Wang to inquire about it before, but I don't know if there's any news.
Liu Shihua was both worried and proud. She thought her younger sister was really amazing for being able to persuade the teachers to agree to her doing this, but she was also worried that she would not learn too much or too many different things.
He knew that people's energy was limited. Even though he hadn't done much each day, he still felt that time was tight. His sister had so much to learn and do, how could he possibly take care of everything?
But the matter was already settled, and he couldn't change it, so he could only accept it. However, he secretly resolved to listen attentively in class every day and show his notes to his sister later.
The next day after dinner, Liu Shihua went to school alone, and Grandma Wang looked at Liu Shihua with a rather helpless expression.
"Girl, you really managed to get this done?" Wang Shuhui had been somewhat skeptical when the girl said she wouldn't go to school, but now...
Liu Shile smiled sweetly at her, "Yes, there's no other way. It won't be easy to cure Dad's leg. I have to study medicine hard."
Grandma Wang was speechless. Did they really think she was a three-year-old?
However, even if only a small part of what she said is true, the fact that she was able to accomplish this shows that she is capable. Otherwise, do you think anyone can be like her and not go to school?
"Alright, then come with me." Knowing that the matter was settled, Wang Shuhui stopped worrying about anything else, waved her hand, and prepared to take her to the pharmacy.
The Zhang Family Pharmacy, which used to be the largest in the county, is now a joint public-private enterprise and has been renamed Pingshan Pharmacy. It is not small in scale, and the original owner has now become an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the pharmacy.
However, due to the change in the system, many things are still not perfect. If Liu Shile is willing to be an apprentice without pay, that would be fine.
The key point is that the censorship is not as strict as it would be many years later, so although she could not be considered a poor peasant with impeccable revolutionary credentials, she had a powerful older brother to vouch for her.
With Wang Shuhui, a renowned scholar, leading the way, the success rate was even higher. That's why Old Zhang showed a hint of respect when he saw Wang Shuhui.
The county town wasn't big, and many people knew each other well. Since Wang Shuhui had recommended her, Old Zhang gave Liu Shile a simple assessment and then nodded in approval.
Pharmacies are currently short-staffed, so they would naturally be willing to hire someone like Liu Shile who doesn't want a salary or a permanent position and whose background can withstand scrutiny.
Wang Shuhui was somewhat surprised to see the girl answer so fluently, but that was all. She smiled and said, "Dr. Zhang, I'm entrusting this girl to you."
"Lele, you should learn from Dr. Zhang. He's really amazing. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask him, okay?"
Liu Shile nodded, then looked sincerely at Dr. Zhang and confessed, "Dr. Zhang, I just have a good memory and I've read a few books on this subject, which is why I was able to answer."
As for actual medicinal herbs, my knowledge is quite limited, but don't worry, I have a good learning ability and I will definitely study diligently. If there's anything I can't do well, just tell me, and I'll make sure to do it right.
Liu Shile didn't want to hide this kind of thing, especially the difference between fresh and processed medicinal herbs, which she needed to learn carefully.
Zhang Zhong glanced at the sincere-looking young girl in front of him with some surprise. He hadn't expected her to be so frank, so he nodded and smiled, "Alright, in that case, you can start by learning about medicinal herbs from Xiao Luo."
As he spoke, he beckoned Xiao Luo over, gave him a few instructions, then said goodbye to Wang Shuhui and went to see patients in the clinic.
Xiao Luo wasn't very old, around seventeen or eighteen years old. He was rather handsome, with clear and honest eyes, and didn't seem like a cunning person. Liu Shile smiled at him.
Seeing that sweet smile, Xiao Luo's face flushed slightly. This girl was really pretty, especially her sweet smile.
However, with his master's instructions, he didn't dare to be too distracted and seriously led Liu Shile to identify medicinal herbs. There were far more medicinal herbs here than at Elder Hua's place.
Grandma Wang didn't linger and slowly walked home, stopping to buy some groceries along the way. Then she heard some news that she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Grain had to be purchased with ration coupons. Those of them with urban household registration had to register to receive grain ration books, and they would be supplied with a fixed amount of grain every month.
She frowned, not because she was worried about not having enough food, but because she was thinking about the impact of this matter on people.
But she quickly returned to normal. These things weren't her concern; she just needed to live her life peacefully.
The old lady is quite content with her life now, because her home is full of life, just the way she likes it. If it can stay like this forever, that would be wonderful.
