She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 824 - 776: Famine Era 17 (First Update)

This is truly considered a very high level of treatment. As for the whereabouts of the other brothers, the military also told her not to worry. Right now, there is consolidation happening everywhere, and it’s a bit chaotic. Once everything stabilizes and there is a list, it will be very convenient to find out about someone you want to check on.

Ye Huan met her long-unseen Fourth Brother, Ye Jiahao, in Chongqing in the third month after arriving there.

He was doing well. In 1947, at the age of 23, he wasn’t taller than Third Brother (around 178 cm), but he appeared sharper and more capable, and he was also tanner.

Upon learning about the family’s situation, Ye Jiahao was very happy and moved to tears, especially proud of his sister’s current achievements.

"The situation hasn’t stabilized yet. Where I’ll eventually stay within the military hasn’t been decided from above, but don’t worry, I will protect myself well."

Ye Jiahao would participate in the war of resisting America and aiding Korea. It was because of this battle that he attained the position of Company Commander.

Although she was very worried, there was nothing she could do. Now that she was a soldier, she understood better what they were living for.

The days in military school were monotonous, and studying medicine was even more challenging. But the only thing that felt a bit easier was due to her memories and subconscious knowledge from past lives, learning medicine became somewhat more efficient. However, this was limited to memorization; other areas still required deeper familiarity and memory. The medicine of that era was too backward, whereas what she had learned before was relatively advanced. If it were not for the integration of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine teaching, it would probably also take some time to adjust.

Why the combination of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine? Because soldiers often suffered injuries to their limbs, blast injuries could be treated with Western Medicine, but certain contusions and fractures required Traditional Chinese Medicine, especially as Western Medicine wasn’t well-developed at the time. Therefore, during the learning process, a combination approach was adopted. Though chaotic, it was targeted learning.

After all, training a qualified military doctor was not easy during wartime. The goal was to quickly prepare them to assume their roles, so from the start, the learning was very straightforward, unlike the extensive background required in her previous life. What they learned in this life were complications often faced by soldiers and the corresponding countermeasures.

Perhaps in the future, more specialized knowledge would be learned through practice, but at that moment, she could see how scarce the country’s medical personnel were.

At the same time, it indirectly proved that pursuing a career as a military doctor was indeed a wise choice.

Because based on her capability, she was confident that she could benefit more people through her abilities.

Although theoretical study was the focus in the first two years, anatomy classes were not neglected at all. The Japanese Army had indeed withdrawn from China, but the civil war was still ongoing. Especially in Chongqing, a city frequently appearing in espionage dramas, the bloodiness faced was far more direct and brutal than when she previously attended medical school in her past life.

She was also fortunate for her unremarkable appearance, making her practically invisible in a military hospital where men far outnumbered women.

Of course, this might also have something to do with her "not looking good, yet having quite a temper..."; ’Looking this undesirable, what right does she have to be arrogant here?’...

Most classmates had a compassionate heart, not only excelling academically but, as military doctors, having their family backgrounds thoroughly investigated up to eight generations, as well as being assessed for moral character by the school. The worst they did was occasional verbal harassment, but being ignored by such an unattractive woman was indeed a very humiliating thing.

In fact, it couldn’t even be considered as confessions; it was merely that they wanted to approach her, and she discreetly refused.

Young people at this age were in a period of first love awakening. With so few girls in such a large campus, even if they were unattractive, it was still better than none.

Therefore, they would try various ways to flatter her, to approach her, but she was quite direct. If she didn’t like someone, she just didn’t like them. Classmates were just classmates.

She didn’t enjoy playing around with ambiguity or push and pull. She came here to study and hadn’t considered what kind of person she wanted at least, as of now, she hadn’t met anyone who made her heart skip a beat. So if anyone tried to practice with her, they would definitely be despised and rejected.

Gossip and rumors thus targeted her specifically.

They had a day off every half month and could go out, during which time she would go out to buy some daily necessities and also sell some fruit and vegetables to some shops along the street. Of course, she had to go a bit farther and change into civilian clothes and wear a hat, as her hairstyle was quite distinctive.

In summer, she had sun hats, in winter, she would wear knitted hats she made herself, and in spring and autumn, there were straw hats and cloth hats available — these all could be bought, and the selection in a big city was certainly more comprehensive than in rural areas.

Her menstrual period came during the summer of the year she was 16, and she had been using menstrual pads she sewed herself. Though methodically ancient, it was cleaner and more hygienic than the sanitary papers or cloth strips of the era because they were one-time use, and she would burn them afterward. It was somewhat wasteful, but possible due to the current conditions.

Whenever she sold fruits, she would wear the clothing she used to wear in the countryside, very old and worn out, but the effect achieved was good. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Because no matter what she sold, the quality looked very good, and storekeepers valued it, and then it was a matter of haggling.

Of course, at those times, she didn’t want money because what was given were government currency, and she did not want this kind of money. Instead, she would ask the shopkeepers to convert it into things from their stores, sometimes food, sometimes daily necessities, and other times it would be exchanged for cloth or ready-made clothes.

Now her land had been upgraded to Level 20, after so many years of effort. Bananas, bamboo shoots, peaches, sugarcane, oranges, hazelnuts, loofah, grapes, chestnuts, pomegranates, and so on, all could be planted. With more varieties and higher levels, the maturity time increased, so her yield also decreased. This was why she hadn’t come out to sell very much in recent years.
