After a simple rebirth

When I woke up the next day, I was woken up by my second aunt.

Second Aunt shouted Fu Ma's name loudly at the door, and even Fu Ying could hear it clearly through the room.

Fu's mother went to open the door, and Fu Ying simply got up.

Fu Ying was brushing her teeth in the backyard. Fu's mother prepared the fire and prepared to add coal, while her second aunt was talking loudly.

"I cooked noodles. You can come to my house to eat later. After eating, help my family harvest potatoes. My family is going to harvest the land in the field today."

Fu Ying paused while brushing her teeth and didn't want to go.

The Fu family's land was scattered, mostly connected to the second aunt's land. It was a rare piece of land that Fu Ying could remember accurately, and also knew its exact size. Because it was almost the longest piece, it was not far away, and when Gumang High School was expanded, it was requisitioned. The whole piece of land was requisitioned, which should be nearly one acre in length, and the Fu family received 10,000 yuan.

When Fu Ying heard about the land acquisition and the land acquisition money, she complained, "The good news is that there are also land acquisitions in the countryside and there are land acquisition money to be received; the bad news is that so much land was acquired but only 10,000 yuan. If this amount of money was put in the city, it should be at least 10 million yuan!"

So when Second Aunt said she was going to pick potatoes, Fu Ying didn't want to go. She didn't want to work for Second Aunt's family for nothing. Yesterday, she didn't even ask if she could go or if she was willing to go. What was the point of coming here to inform her? Even conscription wouldn't dare to force her like that.

Fu Ying quickly brushed her teeth and refused.

"Second aunt, I can't go today. I have to wash the quilt and clothes later. We didn't have time to wash them yesterday, so we have to wash and dry them today while the weather is fine. Also, I have an exam in a few days, so I have to study. I'm afraid if I don't study well, it will be a big problem if the school doesn't want me."

Fu Ying has reasons for everything, big or small, and she is very busy today anyway.

Second Aunt didn't expect to be rejected by Fu Ying and was a little unhappy, but Fu Ying's reason for rejection was indeed correct.

"Okay, when will you take the exam?" asked the second aunt.

"It's the 25th. Today is already the 22nd. There are only three days left." Fu Ying replied.

Second Aunt wanted to say that there were still a few days left, but she also felt that if she wasn't allowed to study, Fu's mother might get angry with her, so she didn't say anything.

"What about Fu Zhe? He can go. He can't carry too heavy a load, but he can help pick up potatoes in the back." Second Aunt asked again.

Fu Ying was speechless, Little Black Charcoal hadn't woken up yet! Instead of counting on more relatives to help, it would be better to call some of her own family.

Second Aunt is like this every time, she invites a bunch of relatives and only one person from her family. Second Aunt is old, but she has to go every time. When others see her like this, they can only do more things for fear that something will happen to her.

She called Fu Zhe like that, but Fu Zhe was only three years older than her eldest grandson. Why didn't she call him grandson?

But Fu Ying didn't say anything. If she did, it would be like talking back to her elders. Let's see what Fu's mother says. If Fu's mother doesn't refuse, it's ok to let Xiao Heitan experience the "dangers of the countryside". Harvesting potatoes is not that tiring, and he likes to play and be lazy.

As expected, Fu's mother refused. "Fu Zhe will have exams at the beginning of the school year. His foundation is not that good, and he is still waiting for Fu Ying to help him! Besides, there are so many clothes to wash at home, he must help Fu Ying. I'll go, I'll go to your house with you for dinner now, and we'll go together after dinner."

Second Aunt had no choice but to go back with Fu Ma.

Fu Ying boiled water to cook noodles for breakfast. She put the iron pot on the stove, poured oil and heated it, beat the eggs and mixed them evenly, and sprinkled them in. The finished product was similar to the Internet celebrity fried eggs. But Fu Ying was not making fried eggs, but making soup, so she poured water directly after turning the eggs over, waited for the water to boil, added a little bit of seasoning, and the soup was ready.

Then she changed to another pot and boiled some water. When the water was boiling, she put two handfuls of noodles in and stirred them. If they didn't clump together, they wouldn't be undercooked or stick to the pot. When the water boiled again, the water turned yellow, which meant it was cooked. Fu Ying lifted the pot and prepared to serve the noodles with soup.

But before eating, you have to wake up the little black charcoal.

Little Heitan woke up, but Fu Ying ate the food first and had no time to wait for him.

Then find a large basin, fill it half with water, add an appropriate amount of detergent, and stir it with a ladle. After the detergent is dissolved in the water, add a pot of hot water to help it blend better.

As for this method? It is not traditional. It was taught by a cousin who used to sell laundry detergent. Fu Ying thought it was more useful, so she developed this habit.

Then take out the sheets and bedsheets to be washed, take out the clothes, and throw them all into the basin. People take off their shoes and step on it a few times to help remove the dirt for the first time.

Forget it. There is no washing machine yet. Her family can’t afford it and doesn’t have the money. There is no laundry detergent either. It can’t be sold here. People will think that washing clothes is cheaper and more practical.

After washing the clothes for a round, Fu Ying brought a small stool and started washing the clothes by hand.

Fu Ying rubbed one piece of clothes with her hands, and suddenly thought, there should be a washboard? After looking around, she found nothing, so she decided to borrow one! If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!

When they arrived at the tenant's house, Grandma Li was sitting by the fire. Fu Ying told her the purpose, and she asked her granddaughter to give it to Fu Ying, who thanked her.

Continue to rub the clothes by hand, it will save some effort.

When cleaning clothes, focus on the cuffs and collar first, as they are prone to sweating and stains. Apply some detergent and rub them hard. For other parts, rub the entire area on the washboard a few times.

For pants, focus on rubbing the cuffs, then rub the whole thing on the washboard.

Fu Ying doesn’t have many clothes, and currently wears mostly short-sleeved shirts. The front of clothes is the easiest to get dirty, so she focuses on rubbing the front.

For a quilt, focus on rubbing the four edges. The area near the neck has accumulated more sweat, and rub other places as well.

After washing once, Fu Ying felt pain in her waist, so she called Xiao Heitan and asked him to go up and wash it again. The only thing left was to rinse it with clean water.

Rinsing with clean water is fast, but clothes get wet easily, especially since Fu Ying likes to keep the faucet running and running all the time. After washing her clothes, her body is almost soaked.

Fu Ying immediately found a new set of clothes and washed the one she was wearing.

The hangers were colorful and of varying thicknesses, but that was not enough. Fu Ying hung pants and heavy clothes directly on the rope, and only used hangers for thin clothes.

Fortunately, the rope was long enough to complete the task of washing clothes. Fu Ying added some more coal into the stove, continued to warm the water, and then took the little black charcoal to the desk.

Throw the junior high school materials to him and ask him to review them. If he doesn't review, he will just write the test paper.

Little Heitan doesn't want to study. It's still summer vacation and he wants to find others to play with.

"You have two choices. One is to go to the fields to help my second aunt harvest potatoes. I will definitely ask you to go after you go this time. The other is to sit here and study for an hour. I will let you go when you study hard for enough time." Fu Ying looked at him and said.

Little Black Tan wanted to go to the fields, he could find a chance to be lazy and work slowly, but then he thought about what his second sister said and it made sense, if he went this time he would definitely be called next time, so he would definitely try to escape as much as possible. If he studied here, it would only take an hour, and it passed quickly.

He chose option two and sat down to study.

Fu Ying directly asked him to read physics and mathematics knowledge, and write down the answers to the exercises in the book directly on a piece of white paper and wait for her to check later.

Xiao Heitan's foundation is not very good, but he is smart. Boys generally have better scientific thinking, so he should be able to understand it.

The little black charcoal would make some small movements after sitting for a while, but Fu Ying didn't care about him. As long as he didn't leave his seat, was not distracted for a long time or made any big movements, she let him continue.

He actually managed to hold on. When Fu Ying came back to her senses after being called back by him, almost an hour had passed.

"Second sister, it's been an hour. Please check your homework. I'll be out when the time is up."

Fu Ying looked at his answers and found that his accuracy rate was quite high, proving that he had read them carefully. She circled the key points and mistakes for him and asked him to look at them again.

An hour had passed, and Fu Ying asked him to go out and play for two hours, and then come back based on the time, because if he missed it, he would miss the chance.

Little Black Charcoal didn't believe it but didn't dare to refute it, so he ran out.

When they came back, they were two hours late, but Fu Ying pretended not to know and didn't ask. Fu Ma and her friends came back for lunch at noon, and they were all at Second Aunt's house. Second Aunt's eldest grandson, Fu Ying's nephew, came over to call them to eat, but Fu Ying refused. It was not easy to eat for free without help, and there were too many people, so she didn't want to squeeze in.

Fu Ying and Fu Zhe were not very hungry at noon, so Fu Ying fried some rice with yesterday's leftovers, and the two of them had their lunch after eating.

Fu Ying asked Xiao Heitan if he wanted to take a nap, but he was full of energy and didn't want to sleep. Fu Ying didn't let him go out, and asked him to recite all the classical Chinese texts from the first and second year of junior high school. She gave him an hour to recite them by himself, and when he was done, he would wake Fu Ying up, and after reciting with Fu Ying, he could go out to play.

Fu Ying took advantage of this time to take a nap and was woken up by a human alarm clock.
