Rebirth in the 1980s: Xiaoxiao's road to becoming a top student

Qiangzi on the other end of the phone heard the beeping sound, shook his head helplessly, got up and walked into Director Zhou's office, and told him the good news that he had contacted Yan Xiaoxiao.

Director Zhou was very happy to hear that Yan Xiaoxiao appeared.

A few minutes later, the message from Yan Xiaoxiao after she returned home was placed in front of him. Seeing that it said Yan Qing had passed away, he rubbed his eyes hard, thinking that he was old and his eyes were blurry and he must have seen it wrong.

After staring at the paper for a long time, he told Qiangzi to prepare the car, as he must go to Xiaohe Village to take a look.

He somewhat regretted not having someone keep an eye on Xiaohe Village. He hadn't known such important news for several months.

However, when he thought of the abilities of the master and disciple, he smiled bitterly again. Following these two people was simply seeking death.

Yan Xiaoxiao didn’t know what happened after hanging up the phone, and even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.

After dinner, she listened to the sutra for two hours as usual before leaving.

When she got back to school, it was time for the end of the school day. Yan Xiaoxiao went straight to the third grade classroom for class. After class, she did a few more papers before going to bed contentedly.

The next day, as soon as she arrived at the classroom, she was called out by the head teacher. She had to explain why she had missed a day of class yesterday, and Yan Xiaoxiao was thinking about what to say.

The two of them were still standing outside the classroom. Yan Xiaoxiao lowered her head with a look of shame, "Teacher, I'm sorry I didn't have time to ask for leave."

"I called you here just to ask you, are you feeling better? Do you want to rest for a few more days?"

Yan Xiaoxiao was confused, and the head teacher smiled and explained, "You didn't come yesterday, so I called the village, and it was your cousin who said you were sick and resting at home!"

Cousin? Yan Xiaoxiao was confused.

Which cousin? He has many cousins, but only one cousin, from his aunt's family, but he should not be Yan Jie's cousin.

"Yan Xiaoxiao didn't expect that you had a cousin who became a monk? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Yan Xiaoxiao knew it was Jingxin as soon as she heard it. Who else could it be but him? She smiled awkwardly: "A distant relative, I haven't contacted him much! He just lives at home during this period!"

"Well, next time you get sick, remember to call the school to ask for leave, or you can ask your family to call!"

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded quickly, and the matter of skipping class was over.

Yan Xiaoxiao returned to the courtyard at noon and prepared a sumptuous meal to thank Jingxin.

They were all Jingxin's favorites, and he never stopped eating during the meal. After the meal, Jingxin walked in the bamboo forest with his full stomach. Yan Xiaoxiao laughed at his useless appearance.

Jingxin didn't argue with her, but just looked at her pitifully, holding his stomach. In the end, Yan Xiaoxiao gave in and made him some digestive tea.

Jingxin had a smile on his face. He had figured out Yan Xiaoxiao's temper over the past few days. She was the kind of person who would respond to soft words but not hard ones.

There was an English class in the afternoon. Fifth Aunt, who had been waiting for Yan Xiaoxiao all afternoon, gave her a serious look as soon as she entered the classroom.

Yan Xiaoxiao blinked and cursed in her heart. She forgot to tell her Fifth Aunt about not only what happened yesterday, but also what happened at noon today.

Sure enough, after class, Fifth Aunt was waiting for her at the classroom door. Yan Xiaoxiao went out slowly and gave her a big smile as soon as they met.

Auntie Wu said unhappily, "Yan Xiaoxiao, tell me the truth. What did you do yesterday? And who is that little monk? How come I didn't know you had such a cousin?"

Yan Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly, "Fifth Aunt!"

"Why call her Fifth Aunt? Call her Teacher Yin!"

It’s over, Fifth Aunt is really angry!

Yan Xiaoxiao organized her words, "Fifth Aunt, last night I suddenly thought of a way to treat Teacher Zhao, so I went to the provincial capital to see if I could help. I was so anxious that I forgot to ask for leave."

"Where is that monk? Who is he?"

"He is the son of an old friend of Master, and he has been living in Master's house for some time!"

Fifth Aunt cast a suspicious look at Yan Xiaoxiao and snorted, "I'll trust you for now, go back to class first!"

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded and walked quickly into the classroom. Oh my god! Aunt Wu's face was still quite scary.

When Teacher Zhao walked into the classroom again, everyone was stunned, and the seven students in the third grade surrounded him and asked about his well-being.

"Teacher Zhao, are you feeling better?"

"Teacher Zhao, should you rest for a few more days?"

"Teacher Zhao, we all miss you so much and plan to go to the provincial capital to see you on Saturday!"

……

Teacher Zhao smiled and patiently answered the students' questions. He was very kind and amiable, but his eyes were directed at Yan Xiaoxiao who was still doing the homework.

Yan Xiaoxiao only glanced at him when he entered the classroom. She knew from his expression that he had taken the pills she gave him, and was a little surprised that he came back to class so soon.

Teacher Zhao taught this lesson very attentively, and Yan Xiaoxiao listened very attentively. She couldn't help but sigh again that he is worthy of being a top-grade teacher, and his teaching level is really different.

After school, the two walked towards the teachers' dormitory together, "Is Mr. Zhao okay?"

Teacher Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would have died."

Yan Xiaoxiao curled the corners of her mouth and said nothing more.

Teacher Zhao was very grateful to Yan Xiaoxiao. If it weren't for the medicine Yan Xiaoxiao gave him, he wouldn't have come back so soon.

The medicine he took these days made him once again witness Yan Xiaoxiao's medical skills. Even the doctors found his recovery speed incredible.

He is in better health now than before.

Teacher Zhao's return prevented Yan Xiaoxiao from going back to the bamboo forest, so she took the time to send half of the prepared meal back to the bamboo forest.

When eating Yan Xiaoxiao's food again, Teacher Zhao's eyes were filled with tears. He missed this meal so much, and this was the main reason why he insisted on coming back.

After dinner, Teacher Zhao gave Yan Xiaoxiao a two-hour lesson, this time in more detail and with more seriousness, as if he wanted to teach her everything he knew.

Of course Yan Xiaoxiao would not be frightened by this. Instead, she was very happy and followed Teacher Zhao's rhythm without much effort.

Yan Xiaoxiao returned to the bamboo forest just before going to bed, as she still had a task of listening to sutras to complete today.

It was already midnight when we finished listening to the sutra. Jingxin said seriously, "You are mainly collecting merits now. It has been such a long time and I haven't seen you do anything."

Yan Xiaoxiao shrugged helplessly, "Look, where is the merit for me to collect now?"

Jingxin was speechless, and after a long moment of contemplation, he sighed, "How about I go out with you and do some good deeds!"

Yan Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said, "No, my master and I have been there before and we are not interested. Now that I listen to you chanting sutras every day, the amount of death energy in my body has stopped increasing."

Yan Xiaoxiao hasn't practiced much since she learned about the Netherworld's death energy, but her cultivation level is still improving rapidly.

Sometimes she felt panicky, because along with her cultivation level, the dark death energy also grew.

She always felt that she could not hold on for five years, so she chose to fulfill her previous life's wish first, to be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University and become a top student.

Unexpectedly, the effect of listening to the little monk chanting is so good. She can have more time to realize her wish. How could she be willing to give up!

She also didn't think that doing some good deeds could offset the thick aura of death from the underworld. If it were that simple, her master wouldn't have had such worried hair turning white and wouldn't have died with uneasiness.

Seeing Yan Xiaoxiao like this, Jingxin didn't try to persuade her anymore, but kept recalling the ancient books he had read, trying to find a solution, but unfortunately he never found one.

The return of Teacher Zhao enabled the eight contestants to make rapid progress, and they all performed well in the test in the last class.

Yan Xiaoxiao did not take the test again because it was unnecessary given her level.

During this period, Yan Xiaoxiao also took time out to go to the provincial capital twice to give acupuncture to Meng Ze.

She always went there through the teleportation array. In the deserted alley where she came back for the first time, Yan Xiaoxiao set up a mini teleportation array that only she could activate.

Today, when the other seven contestants were taking Teacher Zhao's test, Yan Xiaoxiao took a leave and came to the provincial capital again.

As soon as I came out of the teleportation array, I realized something was wrong. There was someone in the alley that was usually deserted.
