I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 220: You might as well just call me by name.

Weaning a child is indeed not an easy task. It's fine when Yuan Xiu is not at home, but when she is, the first thing the two children do, whether they are hungry or not, is to look for their bottles.

After being refused too many times, she started crying at the top of her lungs.

The three adults in the family were actually heartbroken. The two children were crying so pitifully, they looked so pathetic that Yuan Xiu almost couldn't resist lifting her clothes to feed them several times.

Jiang Zhou was a bit harder-hearted than Yuan Xiu. At this time, he would take the children away, give each of them a bottle, and let them drink if they wanted, or let them go hungry if they didn't.

After crying a few times to no avail, they all became well-behaved.

By the time Yuan Xiu started formal classes, the weaning of her child had already shown initial results.

The first class in the morning starts at eight o'clock. As a day student, Yuan Xiu has to be at school by seven fifty. It is more convenient to ride a bicycle to school than to take a bus. The bus does not go directly and you have to go to other stops along the way, but you can ride a bicycle directly to school.

It takes half an hour to ride a bicycle to school, which is not a long time, but it is not short either.

Yuan Xiu got up at 6:40, ate breakfast at home, left home at 7:10, and arrived at school around 7:40, just in time.

The regular classroom for Class 1 of the 1977 cohort of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine was Room 301 in the teaching building. When Yuan Xiu arrived, the classroom was already quite full, with many people quietly engrossed in their books.

This almost made Yuan Xiu think she was late.

She raised her hand to check the time: 7:45.

Yuan Xiu entered the classroom and found an empty seat.

Hello, classmate.

As soon as she sat down, a female student with braids next to her greeted her quietly.

"Hello," Yuan Xiu replied.

There was also a book on the female student's desk, a barefoot doctor's manual.

"My name is Liu Yazhi. What's your name?"

"My name is Yuan Xiu."

Liu Yazhi looked a few years older than Yuan Xiu. She was wearing a blue Lenin suit, and her skin was a bit dark. However, the skin on her neck that occasionally showed through the collar didn't look dark, indicating that she usually got plenty of sunshine.

He didn't speak with a noticeable accent; his Mandarin was standard. He must have been an educated youth sent to the countryside.

As they talked more, Yuan Xiu learned that she was indeed an educated youth sent to the countryside. Her elders worked in a hospital, and she had learned the basics from a young age. Later, after being sent to the countryside, she forced herself to become a barefoot doctor in order to do less farm work and treated the villagers for several years.

"Why is everyone here so early?"

"It's getting late. My roommates got up at 5:30 in the morning, read books in bed with flashlights, and came to the classroom as soon as it was light. They even bought breakfast from the cafeteria and ate it in the classroom."

Yuan Xiu: "...Hehe, everyone really worked hard!"

She doesn't even get up this early, even though she's a day student.

Classes haven't even started yet. What would happen if classes started?

Because Yuan Xiu arrived late (indeed, she was the last one to arrive in the class), she missed the opportunity to greet each other. Fortunately, Liu Yazhi, who was sitting next to her, introduced her to the basic situation of the class.

"There are 29 people in our class. 21 are boys, and there are only eight girls including the two of us! The youngest one... By the way, Yuan Xiu, how old are you?"

I am 20 years old.

"The youngest isn't you, it's the boy sitting in front."

Liu Yazhi pointed to a young boy wearing glasses sitting in the front row and said, "He's the youngest in our class, his name is Xia Yang, he's only seventeen, and he's a local."

After she finished speaking, she pointed to another tall male classmate next to Xia Yang and said, "He is the oldest in our class, thirty-four years old. He was also an educated youth sent to the countryside. His name is Wang Jianjun."

"Who is the eldest sister among us girls?"

Liu Yazhi pointed to a girl sitting in the corner and said, "Her name is Liu Fang, she has the same surname as me, she is thirty years old, and we are roommates. When she came to school, her husband and child brought her with them. Her husband was also a sent-down youth, but he didn't get into university this time and can't go back to the city."

Liu Yazhi introduced each of them to her one by one. Among the classmates were educated youth who had been sent to the countryside, barefoot doctors, veterans, factory and mine workers, and high school graduates who graduated in the summer of 77. Xia Yang was one of them.

After speaking with over twenty people, Liu Yazhi didn't stumble once. "Liu Yazhi, you have a great memory!"

Liu Yazhi chuckled, revealing a set of bright white teeth. "I don't have any other strengths, except for a good memory. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get into the barefoot doctor program and university."

This advantage is already quite remarkable.

As we were talking, someone came into the classroom.

The man who entered was in his forties. He stood on the podium and began to introduce himself: "Hello, students, I am your class teacher, Zhou Mingyuan."

He took the chalk, turned around, and wrote his name and office number on the blackboard.

"I will walk with you all through the next four years of study and life. I am just as happy and excited as you to be able to gather with you in the classroom of Class 1, 1977, of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Isn't this a good time for the country to reopen the door to education? It is also a good time for every student to study diligently and contribute to the country..."

Teacher Zhou talked on and on on stage, and you could tell he was really excited, like a talent scout who had finally found twenty-nine outstanding individuals.

"...We'll discuss things together in class, and you can always come to me after class. If you encounter any difficulties in your life, feel free to tell me. As your homeroom teacher, I will do my best to lend a hand and help you solve your problems!"

"Before this, regardless of where you came from or what your profession was, you all got into university based on your own abilities. Learning opportunities are hard-won, and you should cherish them. Going to university isn't just about acquiring knowledge and skills; it's also about remembering the responsibilities on your shoulders!"

"Our country is in dire need of development, and every industry is lacking in educated and professional talents, especially in traditional Chinese medicine! Therefore, we must abide by the rules, be willing to work hard, help each other, and strive to learn from and surpass others in school! We must lay a solid foundation and hone our skills! In the future, after leaving school, we can go to the places where our country needs us, do practical things, and carry forward traditional Chinese medicine!"

Teacher Zhou spoke with great passion, and the students in the audience were also moved. When he finished speaking, applause rang out from the audience!

"Alright, alright!" Teacher Zhou smiled and raised her hand to gesture for everyone to speak. "We all know each other now, right? Would you like to come up one by one and introduce yourselves?"

"I know most of them, but one student arrived a little late. How about we have that student introduce themselves?"

At this moment, a male student raised his hand and said.

Everyone turned to look at Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu: ...Why don't you just call me by name!
