Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!

Chapter 190: Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng

Yun Xi did not remember seeing Li Jun in the last few classes.

However, before going to school, Jing Yu had already thoroughly investigated every student in this class. Seeing Yun Xi’s puzzled expression, he hurriedly introduced this child’s background to her.

“His name is Li Jun, and his academic results are quite good. His father is our school’s third-year teaching director, and his mother is also the third-year language teacher.”

Hearing this, Yun Xi felt a little relieved. No wonder this child openly challenged her. He obviously placed so much importance on his grades.

“I also heard that before this entrance exam, he found many teachers from famous schools at his house for extra lessons, and his mother had also given him a thorough teaching course. But his grades were still not as high as yours, which made his mother feel very humiliated. She took him to more extra lessons before returning to the school to attend classes with us.”

Yun Xi was ashamed.

In her previous life, she had not attended high school. It was precisely because of this that she paid more attention to the college entrance examination. The more people lacked something, the more they liked to pay attention to it.

Every time the sample essay for the college entrance examination gets published, Yun Xi would read through it. Moreover, when she encountered some very beautiful and meaningful sentences, she would recite them. That had already become a habit in her previous life, and it was a way for her to destress and unwind.

She did not expect that she would be able to use all these beautiful examples in her new life.

Right now, her mind was filled with countless examples written by the top scorers of the college entrance examination. It was definitely impossible for the boy to catch up with her just by going to simple classes.

Thinking about it, her results in the exam were like cheating. It was really a little unfair to this second-place student who was working hard and studying steadily.

However, she thought about the new mission that the space had given her. She could turn on the question-searching function in the question bank after she treats the county head’s wife. This could be more unfair to the second-ranked student, Li Jun.

However, how could there be absolute fairness in this world? As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. However, there were some people who were born in Rome!

Back in the day, high school was not as hard. The school would usually be over at four o’clock, unlike the high school students in the modern world that have to work so hard in order to get into university. For their own ideals, they could not even get five hours of sleep every day.

At this time when Yun Xi transmigrated back to when she was eighteen, high school students still had a long period of free time. The school would be over at four o’clock, regardless of whether they were students who stayed outside the school compound or students living in the dormitory, they were free to do their own things after school.

After school ended, Yun Xi and Jing Yu parted ways. What Yun Xi needed to do now was to go to the county head’s home and offer the thousand-year-old ginseng.

Jing Yu was worried that Zhao Dan would threaten Yun Xi’s safety, so he did not return to his own medicine shop to change shifts with Yun Shan after school. Instead, he found someone to investigate Zhao Dan’s family background.

The county head’s house was very easy to find. It was located in the residential area near the Rural Media University. The houses on this side were all allocated to officials. In order to retain talented individuals, the government provided free housing for them. This could also greatly ease the financial pressure these people had to face.

Although Yun Xi did not know exactly which unit the county head lived in, she could always ask around.

Very quickly, she found out that the county head’s wife had not been in good health, so they lived on the first floor.

This made it convenient for Yun Xi to visit them.

“Knock, knock...”

Yun Xi knocked on the county head’s door.

“Who is it?”

At four o’clock, the county head also got off work and went home. At this time, he heard someone knocking on his own door, so he hurriedly went out to answer the door.

The county head’s house was not very big, it was a standard two-bedroom house. Originally, the county head’s house had been taken care of by a housekeeper. However,the family’s savings were almost all spent on treating the county head’s wife’s illness, so the county head had to personally open the door for the guests.

“Hello, County Head Zhao, let me introduce myself. My name is Yun Xi. I’m a clerk at Jing’s Family Pharmacy. I heard that your wife is in need of thousand-year-old ginseng. I happen to have one in my hand, so I thought of coming to offer it.”
