I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

March 9, 1962, the fourth day of the second month of the lunar calendar.

On this day, weddings were held simultaneously in the front and back yards of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

Yan Jiefang didn't know the specifics of the process, but it certainly made things very undignified for the Yan family.

Because of this, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Bugui had a big argument.

Sha Zhu finally saw Xu Damao's wife, Lou Xiao'e.

This woman was indeed quite attractive, but compared to Qin Huairu and his wife Liu Yuyan, she was slightly inferior.

He suddenly felt that he had the upper hand over Xu Damao when it came to his wife.

But many others know that Xu Damao's wife is not simple.

Even if the Lou family were to keep a low profile and try to conceal it, the amount of dowry they provided was still beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

These things happening in the courtyard house had absolutely no impact on Yan Jiefang.

A few days ago, after long-term and persistent study, his TCM skills finally reached 80/100.

Once he reached this level, he immediately felt a significant difference from before.

When he was under 80, he realized that he had a serious health problem.

These problems have resulted in his physical fitness reaching 12, but after such a long period of training, it has not yet reached 13. The daily improvement is still there, but it is extremely slow.

I now realize that the vast majority of the energy gained from the phrase "Heaven rewards diligence, one proof is eternal proof" was used to repair the internal organ damage caused by prolonged starvation.

Originally, those damages were irreversible, would stay with him for life, and would cause various incurable diseases in his later years.

Now there's a cheat code that allows him to reverse things with abilities that transcend the rules of the world, which can help him gradually recover.

It's just that because it's going against the rules of the world, this reversal is very slow and requires a lot of special energy.

If he ignores this and continues to live his normal life as he does now, it may take decades or even centuries for these internal organ damages to fully recover.

However, now that TCM techniques have advanced to a higher level, the situation has changed somewhat.

He placed his fingers on his pulse and pressed on several points on his abdomen.

He was quickly diagnosed with several gallstones in his gallbladder.

In addition to gallstones, I also have problems with my stomach, heart, liver, kidneys and other organs, some mild and some severe.

Some conditions appear to be completely incurable according to traditional Chinese medicine techniques, and can only be alleviated by the body's hard work or medication; these are irreversible damages.

Some can even be cured with traditional Chinese medicine.

Upon suddenly receiving this information, Yan Jiefang cursed inwardly: "That bastard Yan Bugui is truly despicable."

This has resulted in various health risks for the whole family.

What can you do with the money you've saved by scrimping and saving?

Should we give them all to the hospital later?

Just wait and see, in another 10 or 20 years, in the 1980s, you two will both have to go to the hospital and suffer from all kinds of illnesses!

(In the TV series, Yang Ruihua had to undergo breast tumor surgery but didn't have the money, and Yan Bugui had heart disease; they both relied on Sha Zhu's help.)

Yan Jiefang was filled with hatred.

He's someone who has to live past 2025!

Otherwise, not only would the main world's 10 years of lifespan be wasted, but it would also fail to acquire any means to resist the destruction of the main world!

This whole decades of time travel have been for nothing!

Yan Jiefang took a deep breath and slowly suppressed his anger.

You must not get angry. According to traditional Chinese medicine, anger attacks the heart. People who are frequently angry will inevitably experience a spike in blood pressure, which will harm their heart health.

The current priority is to find a solution to the problem.

Once his TCM score reached 80 points, he had essentially reached the level of a national-level TCM expert.

Many problems can be easily solved.

There are treatments available for all the problems I have now.

However, this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, of irreversible damage.

On the surface, it may appear that the body has been completely cured, but the lost energy and spirit are completely lost and can never be recovered.

Moreover, some treatment plans are not perfect, and they mostly use methods from predecessors.

There isn't much innovation.

He's still young; he'll only turn 17 on National Day. There's still time.

So I decided to play it safe for now and focus on getting my TCM skills to 95 or higher.

The treatment plan we come up with then will be far superior to any method or approach that's been decided on a whim right now.

Yan Jiefang made a decision: this semester will be a semester of TCM skills training!

He will be pausing his time spent on music, writing, and other related activities.

Anyway, his music skill is 83 points, which is not low.

As for novels, the second book, "Bloodstained Bugle Call," still has over 10,000 words left, enough to last for two months.

What's more, he still has a book of over 100,000 words, "The Mission That Must Be Completed," that he hasn't published yet!

5000 words a month, enough to last until the end of next year!

Besides these already completed works, he already has over 100,000 words of manuscript saved for his novel "Birds Fill the Courtyard," which he is currently writing!

There's absolutely no need to worry about your fixed monthly income.

In addition, he needs to reduce his training time at the basketball court, since his basketball skills have already reached 99 points.

If it weren't for the fact that the last point was the most difficult, he would have gotten a perfect score long ago.

Reducing training was not only to save time, but also because he knew from his knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine that excessive training would only damage the body and had few other benefits.

After all, he doesn't need to train his skills.

However, he needed to inform Coach Li beforehand; he couldn't just reduce training time without saying a word.

Humans are social beings and should also consider the feelings of others. It's best not to act unilaterally and become an outlier outside the group.

"Coach, I'd like to talk to you about something."

Yan Jiefang found Coach Li by the basketball court.

"explain."

Coach Li's basketball is spinning rapidly at his fingertips; he's been in high spirits lately.

"Coach, I need to shorten the training sessions from now on, and make sure to squeeze in more time to study before evening self-study."

Upon hearing this, Coach Li put away the basketball and looked at Yan Jiefang, who was now the absolute core of the team, and the entire team's tactics were almost entirely centered around him.

Without Yan Jiefang, the team's level would have plummeted back to its previous level, and its current glory would be gone.

Yan Jiefang dared not look Coach Li in the eye, and looked guiltily toward the cinder field:

"Although the coursework this semester was relatively easy, my homeroom teacher added me to the radio sports club, which means I have to spend more time learning professional knowledge."

Furthermore, although I'm currently ranked first in my grade, I dare not relax.

Coach Li stared at him for two seconds, then raised his hand to rub his temples. He knew that the students' duty was to study, and forcing them to stay would only delay their progress.

"No one on the team can match your skills. You have a solid foundation, and even if you practice less, your level won't drop."

He sighed, but ultimately relented.

"Alright, I'll allow you to reduce your training time, but don't let your academic studies suffer."

Yan Jiefang relaxed his tense shoulders and nodded:

"Thank you, coach. I will practice my basic skills whenever I have time so as not to hold the team back."

Coach Li reached out and patted Yan Jiefang on the shoulder, laughing and scolding:

"You little brat! Isn't that just being offensive? What are the other team members going to think?"
