She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 823 - 776: Famine Era 17 (First Update)

The third sister-in-law is named Liu Ting. In 1946, she was 19 years old, five years younger than the Third Brother (who was 24), and two years older than her. Entering the year 46, she was already 16 years old.

However, in the autumn, rather than entering the second year of high school, she skipped to the third year.

The Third Brother had already skipped to the fifth grade. Because the third sister-in-law found a teacher for him to tutor, he made rapid progress. After finishing this year, he would be able to graduate from junior school.

The second sister and the ninth and tenth younger brothers had also entered the fourth grade, which was considered jumping a grade as well.

The third sister-in-law had a monthly salary of 300 yuan in the primary school, equivalent to thirty silver coins. Compared to the betrothal gift, the Liu Family was quite genuine.

However, it was said that the money the third sister-in-law had saved before was left for her maiden family, which is as it should be. After all, the family raised such a big daughter, and once she graduated and earned money, she gave it to their family. Anyone would feel uneasy about it, but although the Liu Family had many brothers and sisters, the fact that the old couple spared no effort to send their children to school was indeed a wise decision.

If it weren’t so, how could the third sister-in-law, who merely graduated from junior school, be able to teach first and second-grade classes? Isn’t it because having an education gives an advantage?

Of course, in their hearts, Ye Huan was even more incredible. After all, there wasn’t another person in the entire village who had attended high school. Now that she was in high school, who wouldn’t give a thumbs up when mentioning it? This is also related to the parents informing the villagers in advance that someone is willing to teach well.

They were informed beforehand that she was studying and were gradually told about her taking the exam. Eventually, when she got into high school, it was easily accepted by them.

As for how many years she studied, the fact is if their children didn’t go to school, these people had no concept.

By the time they realized, she might have already gone to college.

Because she remembered that it was only after the country was established that more and more people began to realize the importance of learning.

Indeed, not long after the Third Brother obtained his college graduation certificate, statistical data was then required from above. At this time, with a graduation certificate, no matter where the Third Brother was assigned in the future, it would be impossible for him to cultivate the land at home.

In the summer of 1947, Ye Huan took the college entrance examination, the results of which caused a sensation throughout the province, because with her scores, Tsinghua and Peking University were not a problem, but she chose the Fourth Field Military Medical University, which is the predecessor of the Third Military Medical University (Army Medical University).

After receiving the admission notice, Ye Huan was personally escorted to the train by people from the city. The Third Brother originally wanted to go, but she refused because the third sister-in-law was pregnant. She didn’t want to delay the family, and in addition, the younger brother was small and couldn’t leave his parents. She could go by herself.

Perhaps because of Ye Huan’s outstanding performance, and being part of the Military Medical University, the Ye Family currently had two fallen martyrs, five serving soldiers, and one wounded soldier at home, so even though Ye Jiazhe had been home for two or three years, he was eventually assigned to the Municipal Grain Bureau, working as an accountant.

Having a formal job greatly pleased the entire family, especially since Ye Jiazhe had only lost his palm and not his entire arm, so it didn’t greatly affect many activities for him.

Of course, Ye Jiazhe hadn’t forgotten his sister’s words and continued to strive for progress, aiming to obtain a junior high school graduation certificate. As for a high school graduation certificate, it was somewhat unlikely, and for him, obtaining a junior high certificate was already sufficient.

Ye Huan went to Chongqing, knowing in advance that the Fourth Brother was there. Once she arrived at school and registered, she particularly took the address to ask the school instructor. She learned that their unit was in the mountains, and it would be difficult to contact them for a while, so she had no choice but to give up.

Ye Huan cut her hair into a uniform military style, put on a military uniform, and began a month-long military training.

What was even more daunting was that in their clinical department, there were only three girls, and for their entire grade, there were no more than twenty (including the nursing department).

Perhaps it was because serving in the army during wartime was inherently unsafe, especially since military doctors were sent wherever they were needed, following the organization’s arrangements.

So many of those coming to study here were second-generation soldiers. Of the three girls in their department, the other two were the offspring of soldiers, part of the Red Second Generation.

Their dormitory had eight beds, but only four were assigned, while the other two dormitories were both filled with eight girls each, see, indeed not exceeding twenty girls in total.

Ye Huan was 17 years old this year and the youngest in the whole grade, which was precisely why her scores did not make it into Tsinghua or Peking University, a fact that made many people regretful.

But here at the Military Medical University, she received an extremely high level of attention, and when the school learned that her brother was serving in Chongqing, they specially connected with Ye Jiahao’s unit, enabling the siblings to speak over the phone, and even arranged to let them meet when opportunity allowed.
