She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 821 - 774: Famine Era 15 (First Update)

Besides his long service and numerous achievements in the army, a critical factor is that he learned to read and do arithmetic on the battlefield, following capable people.

Although he didn’t undergo systematic learning, Ji Huzi, no matter how many faults he has, has a drive that most people can’t match.

He knew to study even during such difficult times, so what right does he have now to deny his little sister’s words?

Understanding this, Ye Jiazhe suddenly felt much more enlightened, like a lost fawn suddenly finding the way home.

"Huanhuan is right, it’s my ignorance. Fine, I’ll join the younger brothers at school tomorrow to study. Even though my left hand is disabled, I still have my right hand. As long as I can use my right hand, I won’t give up!"

Worthy of being a former platoon leader, such a high level of awareness.

Ye Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and Daddy and Mom silently gave her a thumbs-up. Clearly, they were also worried that their brother would just remain listless, and now he suddenly has the motivation to learn. It’s a great thing!

Actually, in the first grade of primary schools now, there are students of all ages, and there’s nothing embarrassing about it. Especially since he’s a retired wounded soldier, he actually receives attention in many places, even if there isn’t a formal regulation about it yet. But their family has had martyrs, and several brothers are still on the front lines, families like theirs will be respected wherever they go.

Therefore, Third Brother not only got into school for free but also received special attention from the teachers.

After entering May, the army began to reclaim various places, with victory in sight.

In June, Ye Huan took the high school entrance exam. Mid-June, the results were out, and she successfully got into Luoyang Advanced High School, as it was the only key high school in all of Luoyang.

She got her middle school graduation certificate and brought gifts to thank Mr. Wang and Cao Fang personally. From then on, they became part of her past, and it seemed she took another step closer to her university dream.

In July, Fourth Brother’s unit passed by their hometown and specially entrusted wounded soldiers to bring a letter back. However, their unit was to move south all the way. Knowing from the letter that Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Brothers were doing well, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

In August, the R army surrendered, and the whole nation celebrated, especially Third Brother, who even shed tears.

After half a year of learning, he progressed rapidly. During the summer vacation, Ye Huan took on the responsibility of teaching the whole family to read.

Since Third Brother and Ye Yu were the first who might need education, Ye Huan gave them the most attention by regularly assigning them exercises and supplementary lessons.

With their current reading level and math skills, reaching the second-grade standard of primary school was no problem, especially since Ye Huan applied some learning methods from her previous life. The multiplication tables were the most vital for them to learn, even though current primary schools were teaching addition and subtraction within 100. For her, though, they had to learn multiplication tables. Put simply, even if the whole primary school taught nothing, one had to master multiplication and division.

Scary, isn’t it? The multiplication table is usually learned in middle school, but in her past life, they learned it by the second grade. So, without comparison, there’s no competition, but she understood the concept of benefiting from the work of others, so within her limited time, she aimed to teach her brothers and sisters the most practical things.

Family members also couldn’t be left out. When they sell tofu, they need to do the accounts, which requires them to learn to write and calculate.

So the entire summer vacation, their family was immersed in the nightmare of reciting multiplication tables.

Whenever there was an opportunity, she would quiz them, and if they didn’t meet the standards, they would be punished by writing. They all said she was stricter than schoolteachers.

But she taught better than the teachers and wrote better too, so the family admired her very much.

To motivate them, Ye Huan bought a lot of school supplies to reward her family members.

In September, Ye Jiazhe took Ye Huan to Luoyang for high school, boarding there, covering her own tuition, but her father also gave her a substantial amount of money as a backup.

Even Third Brother and everyone in the family prepared pocket money for her. Although it wasn’t much, the gesture was heartfelt, which touched her deeply.

Because each one of them was loving her in their own ways.

Ye Jiazhe and the siblings all successfully jumped to third grade, because Ye Huan’s methods were better. After entering school in the fall, they took the second-grade entrance test and all scored full marks, catching the attention of the teachers. Before summer, their scores weren’t so high, so out of curiosity, the teacher gave them the end-of-second-grade test paper, and the four siblings all got full marks again, truly astonishing the school.

After repeated tests, they directly entered the third-grade class.

Having learned addition and subtraction within 100 and the multiplication table, what’s there to fear in the whole of elementary school?

However, their literacy wasn’t as strong as their math skills, so placing them in the third grade matched their capabilities.

On the other side, after entering high school, Ye Huan finally encountered subjects like English, physics, chemistry, and biology. Though still quite elementary, they were more substantial than middle school subjects. Besides these, the existing subjects like history, geography, National Language, and mathematics were also present. She just skimmed through and got a general understanding, allowing her to begin systematic learning.

Just a week into her education, Mother Chen gave birth to a baby boy, named Ye Jialei, nicknamed Thirteen, because it thundered loudly on the day he was born, thus "Jialei" was chosen; the word "lei" was something the entire Ye family learned to write and practice together.

Ye Huan only returned home once every half month, so by the time she got back, Ye Jialei was already seven or eight days old.
