After Mr. Xiao was full, he put down the bowls and chopsticks, but did not leave the table. The aunt took the food down, served desserts and fruits, and started the next wave of eating. At this time, everyone's expressions became much more relaxed, and some even whispered.

"An Xia." Old Master Xiao spoke, everyone stopped talking and looked at An Xia.

"I heard that you won two championships in this International League, congratulations."

Xiao Jingsheng stared at his father wide eyes. He did not say that An Xia won the championship. How did his father know? Thinking of his father's attitude towards him just now, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He hoped that his father would not do anything that disappointed him. An Xia was his daughter. After suffering so much, he only wanted his daughter to be safe and happy. The Xiao family's great responsibilities should not be borne by his daughter. He was still young. It would be the same to bring a few apprentices out at that time.

"Actually, I didn't expect it."

An Xia smiled, not thinking that she was so great that she won the double championship.

"I heard from your father that your math and physics are very good. The Tsinghua Physics Laboratory is open to you. Ye Lan wants to accept you as his apprentice. You are about to take the college entrance examination. Do you have any plans?"

"I plan to take the Tsinghua University exam."

Hearing this, Mr. Xiao looked happy, "Tsinghua is a good person. Tsinghua University's School of Science is the best in the country. It has sent many outstanding talents to the national laboratory every year. Your father was also from Tsinghua University's School of Science and then he went to the national laboratory as soon as he graduated."

"Grandpa, I plan to apply for the Union Medical College affiliated to Tsinghua University. I want to learn the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. With the development of modern medicine, if the examination methods of Western medicine are combined with traditional Chinese medicine, then traditional Chinese medicine will have better room for development."

Studying medicine? Mr. Xiao's smile froze on his face, and his expression quickly became serious. "If you don't study science and engineering, it will be a waste. The country lacks senior technical talents. You have such a good foundation. If you take the technology path, with me, your father, and your cousin taking care of you, your future development will definitely be very good."

An Xia smiled, "Grandpa, everyone has their own ambitions, scientists are great, I admit, but a good doctor is also great, I want to be a good doctor. You think I am good at science and engineering, but in fact, I am very good at traditional Chinese medicine. Even in my personal opinion, my talent in traditional Chinese medicine is far stronger than mathematics and physics, so traditional Chinese medicine is the most suitable major for me. I want to carry forward traditional Chinese medicine and let the international community know that Chinese medicine in China is worse than Western medicine."

Huo Jingshu was excited when she heard this. This was the injustice of her father and elder brother. Traditional Chinese medicine has been in a dire situation in recent years, and many families of traditional Chinese medicine have been in a slump. This is caused by the particularity of the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is not like Western medicine that can quantify all examination indicators. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly accumulates over the years of practice and has personal understanding.

In the past, I studied traditional Chinese medicine and could produce some good doctors, but now many young people go to study Western medicine, and the number of children studying traditional Chinese medicine has decreased a lot, so it is difficult to produce another group of good doctors. There are fewer good doctors, so everyone naturally thinks that traditional Chinese medicine is not good, but now good doctors in traditional Chinese medicine are more expensive than before.

"No, I don't agree. If you have such a good talent, you can choose one of you in mathematics or physics, study at Tsinghua University, go to the research institute, and you can go to the research institute. As for traditional Chinese medicine, you can be a personal hobby. Just like you said, if you think your traditional Chinese medicine is not bad, then you can cultivate it as a hobby, which is also good."

An Xia didn't expect that Mr. Xiao was so domineering. He directly expressed his disagreement, and then arranged for the rest of her life for herself. She suddenly felt bad. Xiao Jingsheng felt a little angry when he saw his daughter's cold face.

His father had never contacted An Xia. He didn't know that An Xia was not the one who could control him at all. What made him even more angry was that he now understood why his father suddenly contacted him, from refusing to meeting An Xia, to letting his children go home for dinner, and giving them a gift and picking up food.

I thought my father had figured it out, but I didn't expect it to be because I valued the value of my daughter, and my father was very dissatisfied with An Xia's domineering arrangement, and I felt anger that he was being used by his father.

"Grandpa, thank you for your advice, but I can arrange how I live my life myself and live happily. Life is short for a short life, I must make myself comfortable first. As for struggle, I personally don't agree.

What is struggle? Where is the bottom line of struggle? The country says that labor is not distinguished from the high and low, and scientists are as respected as cleaners. A scientific researcher like my father, but I also see his hard work. Perhaps this hard work is not hard for my father. He feels that it is worth it for his dream, and I admire him.

But these days, I saw my father going out early and coming back late every day, and he was still reading information very late at night. He even had no time to accompany his wife and daughter. He had little family time and rarely had time to relax in his personal life. This kind of life is too tiring. I can't bear such a big responsibility, and I don't like to shoulder heavy responsibilities. I just want to live a relaxed and happy life and live the life I want."

Mr. Xiao's face turned dark inch by An Xia's words. At the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "You have no pursuit at all. You are wasting your own life. Your father's efforts are a burden in your eyes. You have no ambitions."

An Xia laughed, "Grandpa, you are my dear grandpa, and I don't hide it. Let me tell you the truth. My biggest dream is to be a salted fish, a salted fish that doesn't have to do it by turning over and sprinkling salt. So I strive to make enough money before I was thirty-five, and then I started traveling around the world, watching scenery and eating delicious food in different countries around the world, lying on the beach to bask in the sun, and letting myself go. Those brain-using things are too tiring. I really don't want to fight, so I just want to live a life of a salted fish."

"You...you..."

An Xia made Mr. Xiao so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, Mr. Xiao said something, "Our descendants of the Xiao family are not allowed to have such thoughts. If you don't listen to me, you..."

"Grandpa, I am very grateful for your hospitality today. I am really sorry for letting you down. You gave me the gift you gave me. I cannot arrange your life according to your ideas, and I dare not accept such a valuable gift.

It doesn't matter if you don't recognize me. I've been independent long ago. I can live a good life myself. If you think I'm embarrassing the Xiao family, don't recognize me. I won't blame you. After all, I don't like you to arrange my life so domineeringly, so we'll be better off each other. I wish you and grandma good health. I'll say goodbye first.

Don't worry, I won't rely on the Xiao family and take advantage of the Xiao family. Of course, no one in the Xiao family can arrange my life."

An Xia had a smile on her face, but this smile was not as sincere as before. She could only smile at Old Master Xiao and get up and leave.

"Lawless!"
