In 59, Peking Union Medical College was renamed Hua Xia Medical University, and classes were suspended in 66.

It was not until 79 that Peking Union Medical College was restored and renamed Capital Medical University. It implemented an eight-year academic system. The first two and a half years were preparatory courses, studying natural sciences at the School of Life Sciences of Yenching University, and the next five and a half years were undergraduate medical studies.

If Lu Cheng planned to study Western medicine, he could first apply for the biology course at Yenching University and enroll in early 78. He could also wait until the Peking Union Medical College was restored and then try to transfer to the Peking Union Medical College for a seamless transition.

But since Lu Cheng intends to study traditional Chinese medicine, he will not spend another eight years studying Western medicine. How many eight years can there be in a lifetime?

Lu Cheng's current mental power is only 14 points. The vast knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is enough for him to learn for a lifetime, but it is difficult for him to take into account both Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine.

Neither Shuimu University nor Yenching University, the two major universities in China, currently offer a major in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Although Lu Cheng had a dream of studying at Peking University or Tsinghua University, he had to give it up.

As for the future Capital Medical University, it is currently called Yenching Second Medical College and also focuses on Western medicine.

If you want to learn the most advanced knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, it is definitely not enough to rely solely on the basic knowledge learned in school.

Moreover, Lu Cheng’s current level of Traditional Chinese Medicine has reached Level Three, so the basic courses in college should not be of much use to Lu Cheng.

For Lu Cheng, the most important thing is to be able to come into contact with famous Chinese medicine masters with profound medical skills, learn from them, and acquire in-depth theoretical knowledge of Chinese medicine.

After determining this goal, Lu Cheng's choice was clear, which was Yenching University of Chinese Medicine.

In 71, Yenching University of Chinese Medicine merged with the Hua Xia Chinese Medical Research Institute. Although they are now independent of each other, there has always been the closest connection between the two parties.

Moreover, there are many famous Chinese medicine masters who can be regarded as national masters in the medical field, and they all teach at Yenching University of Chinese Medicine. Some of them were once disciples of the four famous doctors in Beijing.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Lu Cheng selected his favorite school early on.

After the college entrance examination results came out, reporters from the Shaanxi Provincial Newspaper and the Huangyuan Daily came to visit Lu Cheng. Lu Cheng dealt with them in a very polite manner and did not show any ostentation.

Not long after, reports from the Shaanxi Provincial Newspaper and the Huangyuan Daily spread one after another, and countless people who were paying attention to the college entrance examination results saw such reports:

"I dropped out of high school, settled down in the countryside, studied medicine, and benefited my neighbors..."

"From a barefoot doctor in the countryside to today's top scorer in the college entrance examination..."

"A top scholar from the Loess Plateau, an extraordinary barefoot doctor..."

In a short time, Lu Cheng's reputation spread completely, and villagers from all over the country rushed to Shuangshui Village, wanting to meet Lu Cheng, the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

Shuangshui Village Party Secretary Tian Futang wanted to lead the entire village to hold a grand celebration for Lu Cheng, but Lu Cheng refused: "Uncle Futang, I just got into college. It's not worth making such a fuss."

"Why not? Lu Chengwa, this is not just about you, this is about our entire village. You can get into college, and go to Yanjing University. This is the glory of our entire village, and it also sets a good example for the children of our Shuangshui Village.

We must dress you in red and wear ribbons, and parade you through the streets on horseback, so that the whole commune, and even the entire Yuanxi County, can see that our Shuangshui Village has produced an extraordinary figure. "

Lu Cheng quickly shook his head: "Uncle Fu Tang, please don't be so ostentatious. I am far worse than Uncle Fu Jun."

"But such a good thing should be celebrated, right? How about this, we hold a meeting in the village, and you tell the children how you studied and how you got the top score in the imperial examination, so as to encourage the children in our village to study and learn, how do you think?"

"That's fine. Our village can do it on its own."

"Okay, it's settled. I'll go and set a good date with the village committee members, gather all the villagers together, and let the children listen to your lecture."

After seeing off the village party secretary Tian Futang, we welcomed the neighbors who came to congratulate us.

Xiulian prepared some candies, peanuts and melon seeds in advance to entertain the villagers who came to congratulate her.

Not only that, Xiulian also ran to the commune to send a telegram to inform He Yaozong and her elder sister He Xiuying of the good news that Lu Cheng had become the provincial top scholar.

Within two days, my father-in-law and eldest sister came over from Shanxi Province, and the house became quite lively.

The neighbors in the village also took the initiative to vacate several empty caves for He Yaozong, Chang Youlin and others to live in.

In the evening, the family gathered together with smiles on their faces.

The father-in-law waved his hand and took out five hundred yuan and handed it to Lu Cheng: "Lu Cheng, going to Yanjing University will definitely cost a lot of money. Dad has made a lot of money in the past two years, so it's just right to give it to you."

Lu Cheng quickly refused: "Dad, Xiulian and I have saved a lot, enough for us. You should keep the money for yourself."

"Just accept what's given to you. What can an old man like me spend money on? Isn't it all earned for you? This money can be spent anywhere, but I'm happy to spend it on Lu Cheng's college education. Some people want to spend this money, but they don't have the opportunity yet. Xiulian, if Lu Cheng doesn't want to take it, you take it."

Xiulian glanced at Lu Cheng, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Dad, I'll accept it. But I'll write it down."

"Why do you still remember this? Dad doesn't want you to return it."

After the father-in-law gave the money, the eldest sister He Xiuying also took out a hundred yuan: "Lu Cheng, Xiulian, my family is not as rich as our father, but these are also the intentions of your brother-in-law and me, you can't refuse."

Lu Cheng had no choice but to accept it and keep it in mind.

Especially this father-in-law, he is really nice.

Lu Cheng had already made up his mind that he would take good care of his father-in-law and let him enjoy his old age.

In addition to the father-in-law and aunt, villagers also came to ask if Lu Cheng's family needed help, and some even gave money directly.

Seeing that the villagers were too enthusiastic, Xiulian and Lu Cheng discussed it and decided to set up a banquet in the village to entertain the folks.

It was done right away. My father-in-law and my aunt's family were there, so everyone started to get busy. The village team drove a tractor directly to the commune to buy vegetables and meat, and the banquet was soon ready.

The whole Shuangshui Village seemed to be celebrating the New Year in advance, with firecrackers blasting and the place being extremely lively.

After everything calmed down, all the villagers and relatives dispersed, but Lu Cheng found that Xiulian was in a bad mood.

Xiulian, who should have been happy, is now in a rather low mood.

At night, after the child fell asleep, Lu Cheng hugged Xiulian and asked softly, "Xiulian, are you worried about something? Why do you seem unhappy?"

Xiulian hesitated for a while before speaking: "Brother Lu Cheng, why don't I go to Yanjing with you? We have to rent a house, buy food and accommodation, and waste money on everything."

"How can this be called a waste? Besides, haven't we already saved more than 4000 yuan? We already have enough money. Add to that what my father and elder sister gave me, and the gifts from the villagers, and it adds up to yuan. With this yuan, our family can live well in Yanjing."

"But... I'm just a rural woman who knows nothing and didn't even finish elementary school. I won't be able to do anything if I go to Yanjing, and I'll embarrass you. I'd better not go."

"He Xiulian, I forbid you to say such things again. What do you mean by shameful? You, He Xiulian, are my legitimate wife. You are virtuous and capable, you manage the household frugally, and you even gave birth to a big fat boy for me. How can you be shameful?

What's more, if you hadn't kept the house clean and taken care of me, how could I have had so much time to study with peace of mind and how could I have gotten such good grades?

I am where I am today, and most of it is due to you, Xiulian. How can you say that you can do nothing and understand nothing?"

"I feel like I'm not worthy of you anymore."

"There is no such thing as being worthy or unworthy, Xiulian. It is my greatest honor to meet you and marry you in this life. Don't say these words again. Also, the whole family is going to Yanjing. This is a big deal. Don't forget that in our family, you have to listen to me on big matters."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll listen to you all my life."

"Be good, go to sleep, and don't let your mind wander."

"But... I can't sleep, Brother Lu Cheng, let's have another baby."

"Let's not take this for now. I need to study. It's hard enough for you to take care of Yangyang alone."

"It's okay, I can take care of it, Yangyang is grown up now."

"Wait a minute."

"I won't wait, I will..."

As she spoke, Xiulian had already started to act...
