Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 959: Don’t Neglect What You’ve Learned

That day, Xinyan received a call from home.

She learned that her eldest cousin was going on a mission in a few days, which could take some time. Worried that he wouldn’t be able to care for his wife and daughter, he planned to send them back to the old residence.

His wife had given birth to a daughter, Han Feifei, at the end of September, with their aunt accompanying her during childbirth.

Originally, Gu Wanqing also wanted to go over, but Aunt Su Aihong said the road was too bumpy and was worried about Gu Wanqing’s health, being her sister-in-law.

Fearing her pregnancy might make her more of a burden, Gu Wanqing didn’t insist. She simply asked her sister-in-law to take along the things she had prepared.

They initially considered hosting the full month banquet together, but Aunt said the sister-in-law’s mother insisted the child should be forty-two days old before picking a date for the banquet.

The date was just finalized when the eldest cousin was assigned a mission.

After discussing, they decided having the banquet on the base wasn’t convenient. If her cousin was on a mission, it would be exhausting for his wife to care for the child alone. Thus, it was decided to send the mother and daughter back to the old residence.

This way, during the full month banquet, friends and family could visit easily, and the family could help out. The sister-in-law wouldn’t be too fatigued.

Xinyan held the phone, "Mom, I won’t come home tomorrow during my break. I’ll head straight to Aunt’s and see what help I can offer."

Gu Wanqing responded, "Alright, Yanyan, help your mom by heading over first. Your dad and I will return to the old residence tomorrow afternoon."

After finalizing the plan, Xinyan went back to her small yard.

She packed her things and rode to her mentor’s place.

When Xinyan arrived, Mr. Du was in the living room having tea. Seeing her walk in, he pointed to the seat opposite him, "Sit down and have some hot tea. Your mentor has something to discuss with you."

Xinyan could roughly guess what her mentor was about to say, so she didn’t rush to inquire.

After finishing a cup of hot tea, feeling warm, she said, "Please go ahead, Master."

Mr. Du put down his teacup, "Yanyan, what I can teach you has all been taught. From now on, you’ll have to rely on yourself to delve deeper. I believe you’ll surpass your mentor."

Xinyan stood up and gave her mentor a deep bow. She knew her mentor had not withheld anything, having taught her everything he had learned over the years. "Thank you, Master."

Mr. Du stood up to support her, "What is this all about, child?"

He gestured for Xinyan to sit down again. Mr. Du sighed, "In my lifetime, I’ve trained five apprentices. Aside from your eldest senior brother, who holds a title as a director in the TCM department, your second senior brother, third senior sister, and fourth senior brother all pursued Western medicine. It’s hard to come by someone with your exceptional talent, yet you treat it as a hobby."

He lamented and said with some frustration, "Even though your senior brothers and sisters pursued Western medicine, they haven’t abandoned Chinese medicine. They still hold some reputation in the field.

Though I know your ambition isn’t in medicine, I still hope you don’t neglect what you’ve learned and bury your medical skills."

Xinyan nodded emphatically, "I understand, Master."

After their conversation, they went to the medicine room to turn the semi-finished products from yesterday into pills, marking the completion of her studies there.

Upon entering the medicine room, she swiftly completed the final procedure, after which Mr. Du left the room.

Xinyan tidied the entire medicine room, staying there for quite a while before coming out.

When she reached the front hall, her mentor was already waiting.

Seeing Xinyan approach, he picked up the set of Golden Needles on the table and handed them to her, "I’m giving you this set of Golden Needles. Even if you don’t pursue a career in medicine, remember that the sea of medicine has no end, and skills always have their differences. Never become complacent. I hope you continue to improve farther and farther."
