Chapter 2905

Yan Xiwan observed everything with her eyes, her young mind constantly sorting and judging the events.

It had to be said that although she was a naive hundred-year-old soul, her learning and analytical abilities were strong. She quickly absorbed the knowledge of this world and understood its flaws.

Yan Xiwan did not know what tasks her father and mother had for her here besides training. For now, the most important thing was to grow up safely.

There was no other way. Medical skills in this world were backward. Although her space contained various pills refined by her mother, many people here still died because they could not afford medical treatment.

As a new cultivator, she could not stand by and watch. Yan Xiwan tilted her head. It seemed she had to follow her mother’s path and learn medicine.

Using her abilities to save patients in this world was also a good form of training.

Yan Xiwan set her future goal. Therefore, when she occasionally found a copy of the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon at home, she started reading it.

Yan Tieniu’s discovery of Yan Xiwan reading the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon was an accident.

One day, she returned home and saw Wang Suyu drying corn in the yard. Not seeing her daughter, she asked casually, “Where is the girl? Did she go to your parents’ place?”

“No, she is in the room. She said she wants to read books.” Wang Suyu did not even look up. “You know your daughter’s situation yourself. She is much more diligent than you, her father.”

Yan Tieniu thought about it. It was true. His daughter really loved learning and reading. “It is a pity that universities have been canceled. Otherwise, my daughter would surely be a college student in the future.”

“Father said this is only a short period. Culture is never missing in any era. Once this period passes, culture will rise again. By then, our daughter will surely become a college student.”

Yan Tieniu walked into the room and saw his daughter reading a very thick book.

She went over, took a look, and was slightly stunned by the subtitle on the book. “Guai Guai, you are actually reading the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon. Can you understand it?”

“I recognize the characters. I explain them one by one, and slowly I understand. It is not difficult,” Yan Xiwan answered with a light smile.

Yan Tieniu was stunned, then said, “Guai Guai, you are really amazing. Do you plan to become a doctor in the future?”

“Yes.” Yan Xiwan looked up seriously at her father.

“I plan to become a doctor when I grow up, to serve patients all over the world.”

Yan Tieniu looked at Yan Xiwan’s serious little face. “Aren’t you afraid of trouble from ghosts and monsters?”

“I am not afraid at all. These medical skills are really good. Besides, if I learn medicine, I can save many people, including many children,” Yan Xiwan replied.

Yan Tieniu listened to this and looked at Yan Xiwan for a while. “Children?” he asked again. “Daughter, did something happen?”

“No.” Yan Xiwan shook her head. “Last time, I saw Aunt Ma San begging for medical help to save Little Tree Brother, but she had nowhere to turn. I felt that being a doctor is good. I want to be a doctor so I can save many people.”

“Guai Guai, you are truly Father’s good Guai Guai.” Yan Tieniu smiled. “Then Father’s Guai Guai must work hard.”

“Mm.” Yan Xiwan knew from this that her father would not only not stop her but would likely support her.

In fact, it was indeed so. Yan Tieniu told Yan Zhong about Yan Xiwan’s matter.

Yan Zhong said after hearing it, “Old Zhang has studied medicine. You can talk to Old Zhang yourself and let Guai Guai learn the basics from him.”

Yan Tieniu found an opportunity to visit Old Zhang. Old Zhang laughed heartily after hearing it. “My medical skills are superficial. However, Old Yuan is a famous doctor, and a famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Because he practices traditional Chinese medicine, he was criticized as unscientific and sidelined. Letting Guai Guai learn from him is absolutely fine.”

Old Yuan nearby said, “Learning from me is naturally no problem, but are you really sure you want to learn traditional Chinese medicine?”

“Learn.” Yan Tieniu said without hesitation. “My Guai Guai is already reading the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon on her own, so learning traditional Chinese medicine is inevitable. As for Western medicine, it depends on her. She can learn it in the future if she wants.”

Yan Tieniu was absolutely a qualified father. He knew how to act to give his daughter the best learning opportunities, so he would not give up.

Yan Tieniu went home and told Yan Zhong about Old Yuan teaching. Yan Zhong only said, “Since Old Zhang recommended it, there will be no problem.”

Then Yan Tieniu went home and told Yan Xiwan. Yan Xiwan’s eyes lit up upon hearing it. “Father, are you telling the truth? Grandpa Old Yuan will teach me medicine?”

“Of course it is true. How could Grandpa Old Zhang’s recommendation be fake?” Yan Tieniu looked at his daughter’s shining eyes and felt his decision was correct.

Yan Xiwan cheered and came over to hug Yan Tieniu, giving him a heavy kiss. “Father is the best.”

“Yes, Father is the best. Is he better than your mother?” Wang Suyu entered and said.

Yan Xiwan paused, then looked around front, back, left, and right. Then she said, “Father is the best, and Mother is the most, most best.”

“You little flatterer. I wonder where you learned to flatter like this.” Wang Suyu scolded with a smile.

Yan Xiwan grinned and said, “Where I learned it is not important. What is important is that Father and Mother both like it.”

“Listen to what your daughter says.” Wang Suyu looked helplessly at Yan Tieniu.

Yan Tieniu acted as if everything his daughter said was right. “My daughter is not wrong. It is indeed correct.”

“Enough, enough. I don’t want to talk to you two anymore.” Wang Suyu felt she could not win against this father-daughter pair, so she simply picked up a large basin of clothes nearby. “I am going to wash clothes.”

Yan Tieniu then looked at Yan Xiwan and said, “Daughter, shall I take you to play on the mountain?”

“Okay. I want to eat bamboo rats.” Yan Xiwan said.

“Then let’s try. Although bamboo rats are not fat now, my daughter wants to eat them, so we will catch them. It is good to taste something fresh.” Yan Tieniu was a standard daughter-first father.

So whatever Yan Xiwan said, he agreed to.

From this day on, besides learning knowledge from Old Zhang, Yan Xiwan also secretly learned traditional Chinese medicine from Old Yuan.

Most importantly, Yan Xiwan had a very good memory. Basically, whatever Old Yuan taught, Yan Xiwan could remember after one hearing.

Before long, Yan Xiwan turned five.

Although she was only five, Yan Tieniu planned to send Yan Xiwan to school.

In this era, unlike later times with kindergartens or preschools, the only school to attend was primary school, and the ages of primary school students varied.

Some were six or seven years old, some eight or nine. At present, Yan Xiwan was the only five-year-old in the entire class attending primary school.

When Yan Xiwan entered the class, her younger brother, Yan Zhishan, was in the third grade.

Yan Zhishan started first grade at seven, so he was now in the third grade.

Primary school was very simple now. Basically, fifth grade was one class, fourth and third grades were one class, and first and second grades were one class.

This was mainly due to limited conditions. Plus, many schools had stopped classes. The fact that this primary school was still operating was already a very good situation.

However, even while operating, the number of students was pitifully small. Two grades in one class, yet each class had fewer than thirty students.

The first and second-grade class where Yan Xiwan was located had only nineteen students in total, with only seven in first grade.

This showed that in these times, more parents let their children earn work points early.

Yes, earn work points early.

Don’t talk about children’s work points being small. One work point a day, three hundred and sixty-five a year.

Each work point represented money. So who would be willing to let them go to school?

Moreover, living conditions were difficult now. Therefore, letting children contribute at home was absolutely a good thing for every family.

Thus, who would let their children go to school?

Basically, children who could go to school came from families with decent conditions, or had far-sighted elders, or hoped their children would become useful people in the future.

Counting this way, the number of children who could go to school was really very small.

The total number of children across three classes and five grades did not exceed seventy.

This showed how few children were attending school.

However, this did not affect the Yan family’s decision.

The Yan family absolutely did not allow such things to happen. The Yan family hoped the future Yan family would become better and better.

Plus, with Yan Zhong steering the ship, the Yan family would not make any wrong decisions.

So basically, all Yan family children went to school.

For example, in the Yan family currently attending school, starting from Yan Habin, the eldest son of Yan Jielong, everyone went to school.

Yan Habin had graduated from high school. Those who had graduated included two sons of Yan Jielong, one from high school and one from middle school. One son of Yan Jiehu graduated from middle school. The others were still in school.

Yan Jiehu’s second son was now in the third year of junior high. Yan Jiebao’s two sons, one in the third year of junior high and one in the first year. Yan Jieying’s twin pair was in the second year of junior high, and another was in the fourth year of primary school.

Yan Tieniu’s three sons: the eldest, Yan Zhicheng, was in the third year of junior high; the second, Yan Zhixin, was in the first year of junior high; the youngest son, needless to say, was in the third grade. Now the youngest daughter was also in primary school.

Counting this way, the Yan descendants were all educated people.

However, the Yan family was very low-key. Although the descendants were educated, they did not spread the word. Therefore, no one specifically calculated the situation of the Yan descendants.

As the ancients said, make a fortune in silence. The Yan family’s way was a form of making a fortune in silence.

The Yan family was low-key, but every member knew their goals.

Now, even the youngest, Yan Xiwan, had her own goal. How could the Yan family not develop?

Yan Xiwan’s primary school life began.
