June 30, 1980. Time flies. The day after tomorrow is the time for the high school entrance examination. In Class 1, Grade 9, the head teacher, Teacher Wu, is on the podium cheering up the students.
"Students, you are the future pillars of our country. The high school entrance examination is just a small stepping stone. We just need to lift our feet and step over it."
"The school held a meeting today and decided to give you a day off. Everyone go back and prepare well, review freely, eat well and sleep well, and strive to get good grades."
As he said that, he waved his hand, signaling the end of the holiday. The students immediately cheered. After Old Wu left the classroom, Yu Xiaoxue walked over to Jiang Yanqing and whispered, "Yanqing, the exam is the day after tomorrow. Are you nervous?"
Jiang Yanqing smiled and said, "It's okay, are you nervous?"
Yu Xiaoxue wrinkled her face and sighed, "My heart is pounding right now. I'm so nervous. I'm afraid I'll faint from nervousness when I enter the exam room."
Jiang Yanqing reached out and patted her good friend's shoulder, comforting her, "Just relax, your grades will definitely get you into No. 1 Middle School."
Yu Xiaoxue sighed again, "Yes, Yan Qing, your grades are good enough to get into the No. 1 Middle School in the city, but I can only go to the No. 1 Middle School in the county. So we have to separate."
Jiang Yanqing has packed up her things and will take them back later. Today is her last class in this school.
Seeing Yu Xiaoxue's lost look, Jiang Yanqing felt a little depressed. After more than three months of getting along with each other, she had a good relationship with Yu Xiaoxue. She should be considered her first good friend in this world.
He stood up from his seat, put his arm around Yu Xiaoxue's shoulders and said, "Xiaoxue, come to my house tomorrow and play. I'll make you something delicious, and we can read some books together and study hard for the exam the day after tomorrow."
Although Jiang Yanqing didn't need to read the book herself, she just treated it as reviewing with a good friend. The two of them looked at the test points and tried their luck.
Hearing Jiang Yanqing say this, Yu Xiaoxue became happy again. She took Jiang Yanqing's hand and walked out of the school gate together, and was then picked up by her brother at home.
Jiang Yanqing looked at Yu Xiaoxue's back. Her family looked at her with loving eyes. No wonder she developed such an innocent and easily satisfied personality.
Unfortunately, that day will never come to me. The environment I grew up in in my previous life did not allow it, and I don’t have the opportunity at all in this life. I am already an adult soul, and I can’t pretend to be innocent.
It’s hard to say whether she felt lost or free and easy, Jiang Yanqing carried her schoolbag and walked towards her home.
When passing by Aunt Lin's house, Jiang Yanqing heard quarreling and crying coming from inside. Worried, she stopped and stood at the door to listen.
"Big brother, listen to mom's advice. Come with mom to the hospital, okay? No matter how much it costs, our family will treat you."
"I won't go. My leg will never heal. I'll be a cripple from now on. Mom, let's split up."
"Boss, what are you talking about? You're making me so heartbroken. I sent my healthy son away, and now he's coming back with injuries all over his body."
"Mom, please stop talking. The military hospital has done its best. Don't waste your time worrying about this. Let's split up the family. It's hard for my younger brothers to find wives with a disabled brother like me."
…
Jiang Yanqing didn't listen to the rest of the words and walked home with her head lowered.
It is obvious that the reason why Qi Jiaming suddenly returned from the army was because his leg injury was too serious and he could not continue to stay in the army.
As a mother, Aunt Lin couldn't accept the fact that her son might become disabled in the future.
Alas, it is really fate. The Qi family was one of the best families in the mine. The man in charge is a leader in the mine, the eldest son joined the army, the second son works in the steel plant, and the youngest son is taking the college entrance examination this year. Even if he fails, he can still use connections to get a job in the factory.
Under such conditions, the three brothers could find any kind of wife they wanted. Unfortunately, Qi Jiaming had an accident in the army, which was a huge blow to the whole family.
Jiang Yanqing has always been grateful to Aunt Lin for her help and care. Now that their family is in trouble, it has also affected her mood.
Suddenly, Jiang Yanqing's mind flashed through her own pharmacopoeia. Perhaps there would be a prescription in it that could cure Qi Jiaming!
But Jiang Yanqing was not sure, so she couldn't take it out rashly now. However, she could discuss it with Fang Mingxiao, who happened to know medical skills.
After returning home, Jiang Yanqing didn't rush to eat. He locked the door and entered the room. He took out the pharmacopoeia and started to look through it. Sure enough, in the middle, there was a prescription for treating bruises and injuries.
There are two medicinal ingredients in the prescription that I have never heard of. There is no picture with the prescription, so I am not sure if I have seen them before.
He sighed lightly. If he wanted to solve this problem properly, he had to wait until he finished his exams and went back to the village to discuss it with Fang Mingxiao.
