Meng Yan's Transformation

"Dad, is he a good dad or a bad dad? He looks very fierce when he gets angry and hits people, but he looks very gentle when treating patients..." Zhan Mengyan thought puzzledly as she looked at Zhan Yu who was busy giving acupuncture to the patient.

"Mengyan, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and get dad a basin of water and a towel." Zhan Yu said to Mengyan who was in deep thought.

Zhan Mengyan came out of her deep thoughts when she heard Zhan Yu's words and said, "Dad, I'll get a basin of water right away."

Zhan Mengyan brought a washbasin half-filled with water, soaked a towel in the water, wrung out the water, and wiped the sweat off the patient's forehead...

Zhan Yu also washed his hands, disinfected the silver needles, put them into a bag, and packed his medical box.

The female patient's stomach pain was gone, and she wanted to pay Zhan Yu for the consultation fee, but Zhan Yu politely refused. The patient and her family left with the prescription Zhan Yu had written.

Zhan Mengyan and Zhan Zixun started again, speeding up to fill in the missing pages of the English dictionary they bought. They worked until late at night to complete the whole thing. They were very happy to see that they had their own English dictionary, and they also felt a sense of accomplishment.

"I'm so tired, Mengyan. I can't hold on any longer. I'm going to bed first. You should tidy up and go to bed early too." Zhan Zixun said.

Zhan Mengyan saw Zhan Zixun looking tired and sleepy, and smiled and whispered, "Thank you, brother Zixun, for your help. If I were to do it myself, I don't know how many days it would take to complete the missing pages of the English dictionary I bought."

"You're welcome. Why should Mengyan be so polite to your brother Zixun..." Zhan Zixun fell asleep while talking.

Zhan Mengyan wanted to make some English word cards and put them in her pocket so that she could memorize English words on the way to and from school.

Zhan Yu saw that Zhan Mengyan had no intention of sleeping, so he got a lot of cards and kept writing English words on them. He said angrily, "Zhan Mengyan, don't push your luck. It's already so late, why aren't you sleeping yet? How much electricity have you wasted today, and how much more electricity bill have I had to pay. Today I want you to complete the missing pages of the English dictionary you bought, and quickly return the English dictionary that you borrowed from Erpangjie. That's why I allowed you to keep the lights on for such a long time. I will never indulge you to waste electricity like this again. You are not allowed to light the lights at night to recite English words. I won't stop you if you want to participate in the English competition, but you can't waste my electricity bill at night, otherwise you won't have to participate in the English competition."

When Zhan Mengyan heard Zhan Yu's scolding, she hurriedly packed up the cards and turned off the lights.

Zhan Mengyan lay down in bed and looked out the window at the night sky: the waxing moon hung in the sky, like a crescent silver hook, its light was gentle and not dazzling, making people feel infinite warmth and beauty. Under the starry sky, the waxing moon hung quietly in the sky, bringing a faint and charming light to the dark night.

Zhan Mengyan stared at the moon in a trance. She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and whispered a sincere prayer to the moon: "Fairy Chang'e in the moon, can you help me make the moon brighter so that I can use the moonlight to read the English dictionary and memorize more English words."

Zhan Mengyan opened her eyes again and saw that the waxing moon was much brighter than before, like a mirror. Under its illumination, she could clearly see the poplar and willow trees in front of the door... and the flowers in the pots on the windowsill that were blooming quietly and gracefully. She felt the breath of nature and the pulse and heartbeat of all things.

Zhan Mengyan carefully opened the English dictionary. She stared at the faint moonlight and saw a few words. She memorized them happily...

After an unknown amount of time, Zhan Mengyan fell asleep. In her dream, she came to the bright waxing moon, holding her beloved English dictionary, sitting under the laurel tree to memorize English words, and the Jade Rabbit was sleeping soundly with a medicine pestle in its arms. In the Guanghan Palace, the fairy Chang'e danced in colorful feathered clothes, with clear and melodious voices, a clear moon and a gentle breeze, and Wu Gang cut down osmanthus trees to brew jars of osmanthus wine...

A beautiful dream is like a gorgeous flower, blooming under the night sky, bringing comfort to Zhan Mengyan's soul; a beautiful dream is like a star, illuminating Zhan Mengyan's heart and leading her forward in the darkness; a beautiful dream is like a ray of light, giving Zhan Mengyan light and warmth, allowing her to see hope in the darkness; a beautiful dream is like a burning fire, arousing the fighting spirit in Zhan Mengyan's heart; a beautiful dream is like a warm breeze, soothing the pain of Zhan Mengyan's failure in the mock exam; a beautiful dream is like a timely rain in spring, watering an oasis in Zhan Mengyan's heart...

The next day, Zhan Mengyan woke up early. The beautiful dream was like a treasure. Zhan Mengyan could still feel its warmth and power when she woke up, inspiring her to move forward courageously in the new day...
