Chapter 446: Chapter 144: Become a Docter in Ten Years_1

After sending the girl home in the afternoon, Yan Fei prepared the dishes and then went to the cattle farm to pick up some eggs before heading to the county.

It was strange. He had just told his wife that he would not participate in the final exams, but when he arrived at his parents’ house and had barely spoken a few sentences, his father asked him again, "Xiao Fei, the final exams are coming up and yet you are still so busy. Shouldn’t you focus on your studies? Uncle Chen’s daughter who is only in the second year of junior high school is already preparing to take the High School Entrance Examination next year, and you’re still running around aimlessly?"

"What?" Yan Fei was surprised, "Can you take the High School Entrance Examination in the second year of junior high school?"

Yanfei’s father shook his head helplessly at his son’s ignorance, "Are you even a student? There is nothing strange about students in the second year of Junior High taking the entrance exam. Every year in our town, First Middle School arranges for two top students to give it a try! What’s wrong with experiencing the exam a little earlier?"

"What about the student status?" Yan Fei pursued.

"Student status is just a piece of paper, you can tweak it yourself. How strict can it be here?" Yanfei’s father clarified for his son.

That was indeed true. These days, the student status system was straightforward, requiring only a piece of paper. Every school went all out to enhance their promotion rate, even teaching students how to ’reference’ others during exam time. Not to mention swapping out a dropout student’s information, such as changing the name.

Suddenly, Yan Fei felt motivated, "Then I also want to take the High School Entrance Examination next year!"

Both Yanfei’s father and mother looked at their son as if they didn’t recognize him. Before they could respond, he continued to ask, "Can I take the college entrance exam when I am in the second year of high school?"

Yanfei’s father answered impatiently, "You can! After all, it’s just a matter of adjusting student status. I don’t know if No.2 High School has implemented it these two years, but there are more in County No.1 High School. Let the top students experience the college entrance exam a year in advance to avoid getting nervous later. If they get into the college of their dreams directly, it would be even better as this would increase the promotion rate!"

Hearing this, Yan Fei began to make calculations, muttering to himself, "If I go to high school next year, I will be able to take the college entrance exam in two and a half years! With four years in college, I might be able to go to graduate school earlier and then proceed to a Ph.D. Within ten years, I might have a chance to become a Ph.D. ..."

He didn’t mention that he wanted to be a ’doctor’ this time fearing his parents might overreact like his wife.

Unfortunately, his parents’ reaction was even more significant than he had anticipated. Yanfei’s mom panicked up to touch his forehead, "Son, don’t scare me. Are you sick? Why are you talking nonsense?"

It was indeed scary. A student who barely passed the test from elementary school to junior high school and barely attended classes was now suddenly scheming to get a Ph.D. in ten years! Was that a sign of him relapsing into his illness? It seemed more severe than before. In the past, he merely daydreamed and lost consciousness without having any delusions or incoherent speech.

But with Yan Fei’s ’history,’ although he had matured a bit and become more sensible thanks to his grandfather’s constant discipline, to others it seemed like he had stopped ’relapsing’ — for his parents, the disability certificate remained a persisting worry.

Even Yanfei’s father panicked. Didn’t he just ask about his son’s studies, how did things turn out this way? Regrettably, he wished he could slap his mouth. If only he hadn’t asked in the first place!

Yan Chao, who was on vacation at home, didn’t understand what his brother was saying, but noticing that their parents were disturbed, he hurriedly asked Yan Fei, "Brother, are you sick?"

Yan Fei snapped back to reality, noticing the distress of his family, hastily explained, "I am serious about this. I feel that what we learn in junior and senior high school is not that useful. The classes in college are much more useful, so I just want to go to college as soon as possible. Plus, my wife is already a college student, should I not aim to be a Ph.D. at least? Every time I go to the Provincial City, I study in the library. Look..."

Not taking note of his parent’s suspicions, he began to rummage through his small canvas bag and retrieved a thick stack of his own handwritten notes.

"This is what I copied from the Agricultural University, and here are some prescriptions I copied from the Chinese Medicine Academy for self-study on how to blend medicinal wine. Look, these are about cattle feed, this is cattle disease prevention, this is how to select cow breeds, and this, how to construct cattle sheds..."

While he was flipping through pages and pages of information for them to see, coupled with the neat handwriting, neither parent paid attention to how many sheets of paper he managed to pull out from that small bag.

Finally, they realized their son wasn’t having a relapse. He wasn’t neglecting his studies either. Instead, he had been studying diligently, absorbing all kinds of useful knowledge like a sponge. While it might seem irrelevant for a junior high schooler to be studying such things, it was clear that he was anything but idle.

Seeing that his parents could finally relieve their worries, Yan Fei pushed the thick pile of documents in front of them, boasting confidently, "Pick a page at random and quiz me. I’ve memorized all the information, and can recite it word for word."

Looking at that pile of materials, then looking at her son’s confident smile, Yanfei’s mom changed from being alarmed and afraid to pleasantly surprised. Tears streamed down her face in an instant. She suddenly hugged her son, murmuring, "No need, no need, we all believe you now! I knew it, I knew it, my son is the best, my son is a genius, it’s all our misunderstandings before! Good boy..."

Held tightly by his mother, Yan Fei felt a bit uncomfortable and was at a loss for what to do. It was his dad who came to his rescue, "What are you doing? Look, you have made our son uncomfortable. It’s a good thing our son is ambitious. Why are you crying? Wipe your tears quickly. Both our sons are watching! They might laugh at you. Xiaochao, get your mom a towel..."

"Okay, Gramps, wait a minute..." Yan Chao, watching the trio’s performance, was puzzled. Suddenly he knelt on one knee, paying respect to his father, then got up and ran to get a towel.

Yanfei’s father almost threw up blood in anger, swearing, "I’m your father, not your grandpa. You little rascal, all you know is to watch TV during holidays. What the hell did you learn from those shows? I’ll beat you to death when you come over..."

Yan Chao, carrying a towel, didn’t dare to walk past his angry father. He slipped along the wall side to deliver the towel to his mother and then hid behind her, his head scarcely showing.

Yanfei’s mom took the towel, wiped her face, and admonished, "Aren’t you letting him watch those patriotic films? He’s a child, how much can he understand? Surely, whatever he sees he copies?"

Yanfei’s father almost spurted blood again, "I was...I...Can’t he learn something good?"

Yanfei’s mom could not help laughing, "Okay, okay, enough. I will accompany him more, and let him watch less TV from now on."

Yan Fei finally recovered from his discomfort and said, "How about letting him come back with me! It’s fun with many people where I am. Xiaochao, would you want to go with me? Remember, as I told you before, I have tigers, black bears, squirrels on the trees and eagles flying in the sky at my place..."

He had to explain in simple terms that the little guy could understand, fearing he wouldn’t understand what a sable or golden eagle was.

Upon hearing this, Yan Chao was immediately excited, "I want to go, I want to go, I want to go..."

At this point, Yan Fei remembered something and asked his father, "How come we still don’t have any news from the Forestry Bureau regarding the animals at my place? Do you think they’re not planning to move them out any longer?"

Yanfei’s father smacked his mouth, "That’s the trouble. I suspected there would be problems when you told me about it. It seems that I am right. The zoo is not short of animals, all the cages are full. Who would want to take your animals from you? How are they doing at your place?"

Yan Fei replied with a smile, "It’s even better if they don’t take them. In the future, I’ll build a small zoo and charge entry fees. Besides, it’s not hard to feed them, and I can ensure they eat better than the animals in their zoo."

Yanfei’s dad didn’t ask further, as he saw his son was full of ideas. He nodded, "I’ll ask around when I have time. There’s probably no hope before the new year. Everyone is busy celebrating the new year, I guess those animals have been forgotten."

Yanfei’s mom didn’t care about these things. Pulling Yan Chao, she said, "No, your brother is very busy, he doesn’t have time to take care of you!"

Yan Fei immediately interrupted his mother’s words: "Being busy doesn’t matter. There are many people over there. Besides, now that your daughter-in-law is on holiday, she can play with Xiaochao..."

So, without knowing, Miss Xu Xiaoyan got a companion.

So on Yan Fei’s trip to the Provincial City, he took a little follower back with him.

But it was a good thing. At least he didn’t have to worry about Xiaoyan having nothing to do when he was busy slaughtering pigs and selling the meat.

The best part was, he found out that high school and college entrance examinations could be taken ahead of time.

This was great news!
