chapter2

Her grandfather was a great writer who had studied abroad. After returning to China, he was appointed as a first-class literature professor and then entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with a monthly salary of 445 yuan.

At that time, the salary of the literary and artistic community was much higher than that of the administrative community, let alone a first-class professor. There were provinces that did not have any literary and artistic talents.

Ordinary people with poorer conditions only had a monthly salary of 8 yuan.

Therefore, her grandfather really hoped that her father could give up science to pursue literature, and her grandmother, who was the heir to the Ji family's traditional Chinese medicine business, urged Ji Jinghe to pursue his interests.

She originally wanted Ji Jinghe to study medicine with her and then inherit traditional Chinese medicine.

But the calculations of both grandparents were unsuccessful. Her father, Ji Jinghe, did not want to inherit the medical profession since he was young and devoted himself to politics. Even his hobbies were repairing steel machinery and making some furniture for the house, which had nothing to do with medicine.

The family had no choice but to marry her mother, a person of equal social status, to learn traditional Chinese medicine.

Unfortunately, her mother was not interested in traditional Chinese medicine and liked flowers and plants.

Later, her grandmother fell ill and could not get up. In order to fulfill her wish, Ji Xianglan, although she had a bit of a young lady's temperament in the books, was willing to study medicine for her.

During her grandmother's dying years, fortunately, Ji Xianglan was smart enough to learn some knowledge.

Although her theory of traditional Chinese medicine could not surpass that of her predecessors, it was still okay. It was just a pity that before she could learn the art of acupuncture, her grandmother passed away, leaving behind only many medical handbooks for the Ji family.

Not long after her grandmother passed away, her grandfather also passed away due to exhaustion during the three years of great natural disasters in the early sixties.

At this time, Ji Xianglan was in her second year at Hangcheng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

She had a slight headache and closed her eyes. After sorting out the memories in her head, she suddenly jumped up like a carp.

Ji Xianglan: "..."

She had forgotten one thing.

Her fiance Song Cheng also studied at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, so she fell in love with Song Cheng at first sight. After that, she pursued him relentlessly for two years before he was moved.

The voice in her memory was "shrill".

"You said you two want to get engaged. As your father, I hope you think carefully. Once you are the weaker one in love, you will have to give in to him a lot in this relationship."

In her memory, Ji Jinghe had told her that.

But she was determined not to marry anyone other than him. After kneeling down and begging Ji Jinghe many times, the two finally got engaged first.

Song Cheng's original dialogue was inserted in the book...

Song Cheng: "Ji Jinghe saw that I was honest and also from a good family. He said that he was not an old-fashioned person who insisted on having a family of equal status, so he hoped that I could love his beloved daughter more." "

Actually, I was in a difficult situation at that time. I liked Ji Xianglan, but my father was not satisfied with this marriage."

"Because at that time, our family was a working class family and Ji Xianglan's family background was good. My father hoped that I could marry a capable wife, so he thought that she couldn't do it."

“If I could have helped her family then, her family wouldn’t have been broken and she wouldn’t have died so young. Maybe she and I could have lived to be old and gray.
