Chapter 669: Becoming Rivals In Love (2)
Grandma’s ancestors had been physicians in the imperial palace, so she had many secret formulas of all kinds.
“Look, look, there are also many medical notes I have specially organized. My entire life’s experience in medicine is all here!”
Gu Qingyao looked. These were indeed valuable items. To a medical student, these were priceless.
Grandma was delighted at Gu Qingyao’s interest. “See, see! Aren’t these things interesting? Why not study medicine with me? I’ll give them all to you.”
Gu Qingyao was rather amused by her adorable grandmother.
She had had a very broad education in both lives, but there was always more to learn. She would not rest on her laurels just because she knew enough.
Of course, she was interested in her grandmother’s collection.
Gu Qingyao had plenty of time. By now, the Qiao family had given her a room, so she had a room to herself. She had plenty of time every night.
Gu Qingyao was deeply interested in these secret formulas for preserving good health and ancient methods of making fragrances.
The old lady was delighted at her interest. The darling was not going to be led astray by those money-minded fellows. She was finally focusing on medicine.
The old lady did not know that, soon, her darling would integrate medicine and business.
Gu Qingyao was very busy. She was busy with a.n.a.lyzing her grandmother’s secret formulas, with her studies, and with her various money-making schemes. At this time, there were many business opportunities in Europe, especially if one was capable.
Meanwhile, Mo Beihan was also busy in China.
It was almost the end of the year. 1973 was almost over, and the children in the family were restless.
Gu Fangting, Little Six and Little Nine had been in the capital for less than three months before they began to miss home. Mo Chengrui and Mo Chengxu had also expressed the same desires. Mu Mu in particular longed for home.
Today, they were playing at the Gu house. Mo Beihan, Gu Yunshen, Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jinye were all present.
Mo Beihan looked at these rambunctious children in disbelief. “What did you say? Are you sure? You want to go back to the Qing River Brigade?”
Mo Beihan’s home in the Southern Lake Brigade was now empty. He had brought Jiang Yingqiu to the capital. Now, she lived with Jiang Xun, and they were doing well.
Mo Chengrui and the others had nowhere to go if they returned. Since Gu Fangting, Little Six and Little Nine wanted to go home, too, they thought they could temporarily stay with the Gus, and they could all go home together.
Gu Yunshen could not figure it out. Especially when it came to Gu Fangting.
“Ting Ting! Isn’t the capital a fine place? Things are much better here than in our hometown. The people you meet here are different too. Life is too hard back home. As a girl, you should stay here and study hard so that you can be more capable in the future.”
Gu Fangting earnestly replied, “Youngest Uncle, I know I must study hard. I want to go back precisely because I want to learn more. Here, I can only attend school and learn a little every day. I already know all the things in the textbook. The teachers don’t teach anything else!
“But it’s different in our hometown. There the old folks know a lot more. I want to learn from them.”
Gu Yunshuang was astounded!
Mu Mu, who was nearby, also nodded frantically. “That’s right. The teachers here teach too little. I want to learn more. I want to go home.”
When Little Six saw that Mu Mu was adamant, he immediately agreed. “I want to go back too. I cannot lose to Mu Mu.”
Mu Mu was younger than him but surpa.s.sed him in terms of studies. They had already learnt all that the teachers here were teaching. Although he really wanted to remain with his parents, if Mu Mu went home, he would not be able to keep up with Mu Mu.
