After a simple rebirth

Fu Ying was relatively fast, so there were not many people in front of her. She could only look slowly, first finding the building and then the classroom number.

Probably to make it easier for students to find their way, examination rooms 1-5 are all on the first floor. There are already teachers at the door of the examination classrooms. Fu Ying guessed that students in Building 5 might be studying on a temporary basis or as transfer students like her.

After going to the toilet, Fu Ying walked to the door of the examination room and saw her name. She also saw the paper next to it with the entrance examination schedule. There would be a Chinese test in the morning, an English test starting at two o'clock in the afternoon, and then a math test, with a 10-minute interval in between.

It was indeed a test on the main subject. The teacher saw Fu Ying and asked her if she was a student taking the test in this classroom.

Fu Ying nodded and handed him her ID card and admission ticket for inspection.

After the inspection, the teacher asked her to wait in her seat and the class would start on time at 9:30.

Fu Ying went in and found her number, 07. Wow, it turned out that she would always be in the first row for exams. Every time she took an exam, no matter if it was arranged by machine or manually, she would always be in the last row or the first row. What a fate!

Fu Ying sat in her seat, unable to fall asleep, and could only stare blankly.

The exam starts at 9:30. If students arrive late, will they be counted as absent? If students cannot come to complete the admission procedures today, they cannot even take the exam. Can they still study? They may be counted as absent and get zero points.

Students came over one after another after the inspection. Fu Ying was sure that they were all students on loan, because their clothes were obviously newer and better, and their temperament also showed that they ate well and drank well, and their families were not bad. This was in stark contrast to the nervous and cramped students in the hall just now.

But it is true that the tuition fee is two thousand yuan, not to mention the cost of private entrusting someone to help. This amount of money is really a huge sum for many rural families.

Only families who are not short of money and want to send their children to high school are willing to spend this money.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this national poverty-stricken area, if a family is really short of money, unless you have good grades and can be admitted to a key high school, even if you are admitted to an ordinary high school, half of the students will be forced to drop out of school and work, such as the former Fu Jia and Fu Yu.

It is only after ten years of hard work, state subsidies, and targeted support from economically prosperous cities that the talents here are living a better life. Similarly, more families are willing to support their children in education, whether they are admitted to regular high schools or vocational schools.

When I was daydreaming, it seemed that everyone was almost there.

Fu Ying was in the first row, so it was difficult for her to turn around and look at the back, but she could clearly feel that the classroom was not full. She didn't know if there were not many students who were studying there on loan, or if some of them hadn't arrived yet.

As the two invigilators began to open the papers, the exam was about to begin.

When Fu Ying got the test paper, she filled in her name first and was not in a hurry to check whether the test paper was difficult or not.

Her habit of doing questions is to keep doing them, because she finishes the questions she knows quickly, and thinks about them. Seeing whether the test paper is difficult or not will not make her know it all at once, but it may only affect her mentality. If she can't think of a question at the moment, she will circle it and leave it to the end to do it later, so as not to let this small difficulty delay the subsequent questions.

I knew most of the questions in this exam. In fact, it was not as difficult as the Guangdong Provincial High School Entrance Examination. The one thing I couldn't grasp was the composition. After all, the examiner's subjective thinking accounted for a part, and Fu Ying's thinking accounted for a part.

After the exam, people came out of each classroom. Fu Ying felt that there were about 200 people. In other words, including those who were absent, there were probably three or four classes.

Thinking back to my previous life, it seems so. The first class was Li Xingying and her classmates, and there were only two classes. The second class was her class, and the enrollment should be expanded. There might be more than this number of people. We will know when school starts.

After leaving the school gate, most students walked toward the street, probably to eat, as there were many shops there. Fu Ying walked home, and a few people followed her in the same direction. Fu Ying didn't look at who they were, as she wouldn't have recognized them even if they were relatives.

When I got home, Fu's mother was by the stove, with the dishes on the stove round plate and covered to keep warm, but they hadn't started eating yet. When she saw her come back, she asked her how she did on the exam.

Fu Ying replied that it was okay and took a bowl to get the rice.

Mother Fu was relieved when she heard her daughter say she was fine and so calm. She was worried that the education in Guangdong Province was different from that in Yunnan Province, and her daughter would not be able to adapt when she came back and would not be able to keep up with her studies.

Fu Ying finished eating quickly and looked at the time. It was not yet half past twelve. She told her mother to wake her up at 1:20 and prepared to take a nap.

As a result, I was woken up by Fu's mother at 1:15.

Fu Ying: OK, getting up earlier will give me more time. She poured warm water into her own cup so that she could drink it during the exam, and she didn’t need to buy water.

This time, when she arrived at the entrance of the examination room, many people had arrived earlier than her. After Fu Ying had her ID and body checked, she returned to her seat and waited for the exam to begin.

Sure enough, no matter in the morning or afternoon, there were always people who were late or even arrived on time. A breathless voice called out "report". Fu Ying looked up and saw a little fat boy who was sweating profusely from running. He should have been about five minutes late, but the teacher still let him in.

The English and math exams were over, and Fu Ying breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, she can go back to school and study as usual.

After collecting the test papers, one of the teachers told all the students that the results would be released on the 29th, and everyone should come at pm to check their results and class assignments, and also to take their textbooks back for each subject.

We will be officially seated according to our classes on the 30th, and classes will begin in the first year of high school.

Fu Ying’s inner thoughts: …Great! The results will be out on the 29th, which means we have 3 days to grade everyone’s papers, and also to rank and divide the students into classes. I wish all the teachers good luck in grading!

After leaving school, Fu Ying did not go home immediately. She went to the stationery store first to see if there was a suitable watch. It would be more convenient to have a watch.

When I was in Guangdong Province, I didn’t have enough money, and I didn’t want to ask Fu Ma for money, so I didn’t buy my own.

There are several stationery stores in front of the middle school. Fu Ying looked at each one and found that every one of them had watches, ranging from dozens to dozens.

Finally, Fu Ying found a watch with a bracelet-like strap and a normal-width dial. The size was right, it looked OK, and the price was exactly 20 yuan, which was the 20 yuan Fu's mother gave her.

It's time to go home and take it easy. Fu Ying looked carefully at the shops on both sides. The closer she got to her home, the fewer shops there were because there were fewer people. All kinds of shops were concentrated on the street in the direction of Xinhua Bookstore, and the market was also there.

There really is no express delivery point at this time. Thinking back carefully, Taobao only became famous during the Double Eleven this year, and many large logistics companies have not yet been established. Guangdong Province has some express delivery points and express delivery companies because of its good economic development. In Yunnan Province, except for the public postal service that is responsible for its mission, no one is doing this. Express delivery does not go to the countryside, and can only be picked up at designated locations in the county.

If Fu Yuzhen is willing to do it, it will still be in time in two years.

I thought I had arrived home and there was no one at home.

In rural areas, few people lock their doors during the day. After all, they are from the same village, and stealing things will be scolded. Of course, valuable things will be put away, but the door is often open and not locked.

For example, at Fu Ying's house, no matter if anyone is home or not, the door is always unlocked. If someone comes to visit or to see Fu's mother, they will call out after entering the door. If no one answers, they will know that the owner is not at home, so they will leave and come back later.

Fu Ying looked at the time and prepared to cook.

After cooking the rice, I still had a headache with the dishes. I looked through the dishes at home and could only stir-fry shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs, and cook vegetables in clear soup, which was enough for three people.

It was almost time for dinner when Xiao Heitan came back and asked her to call Fu Ma to come home for dinner.

"Where is mom?" Fu Zhe asked.

"How would I know? It's either my second aunt's house or my fourth aunt's house. Just go and check them out." Fu's mother also visits relatives and friends everywhere, and Fu Ying doesn't have a cell phone to make calls, so how would she know where she is.

As a result, Xiao Heitan didn't come back, but Fu Ma did.

"Your brother hasn't come back yet?"

"I asked him to call you back for dinner. He must have gone to my second aunt's or fourth aunt's house. Why didn't you meet him?" Fu Ying was also puzzled.

"No, I went to Fu's house across the street and didn't see him on the way."

Fu Ying...Okay, you two have missed each other, so it's normal that you don't meet.

"He can't find it, so he should be back soon and ready for dinner."

Fu Ma didn't plan to look for it and just sat down.

After a while, Little Black Charcoal came back as expected, and was surprised to see Mother Fu, "Mom, where have you been? I couldn't find you at my fourth aunt's or second aunt's house."

Fu's mother ignored him, "Why do you care where I went? Hurry up and eat."

Xiao Heitan was speechless, Fu Ying smiled, and the three of them started eating.

"Fu Ying, don't fry the eggs alone. It will take too many eggs and won't taste good." Fu's mother spoke while eating.

No, it's delicious, it's you who are sorry for the eggs, Fu Ying thought. "There are no other vegetables, let's go to the market someday to buy some, or we can grow some ourselves."

Fu's mother sighed inwardly. She also wanted to grow vegetables herself, but now she couldn't. The land closest to her home was the land behind his second aunt's house. His second aunt had already planted her vegetables because she thought it was convenient. Fu's family didn't want to let her family pull up the vegetables and plant them together. If they planted them together, they were afraid that his second uncle would accuse Fu's family of stealing his vegetables.

She could only buy food first. Mother Fu was thinking about where else she could grow vegetables. Suddenly she thought of the rooftop of her house. She had thought about growing vegetables on the rooftop before and had dug some soil upstairs.

"Xiaoying, check tomorrow to see if the soil upstairs is loose. If possible, plant the seeds there." Mother Fu looked at her daughter.

Fu Ying recalled that she had indeed grown things upstairs. She had grown strawberries at home. When Fu Ying and her friends were young, they loved to go and see them. They would pick and eat the red ones immediately.

"Mom, you can't plant things directly on the roof. You have to use flower pots or bricks to create an extra layer. Otherwise, the roots of the plants will slowly penetrate the cement and our roof will be damaged. Leaks are minor issues. We're afraid it will collapse."

Fu Ying knew that this was an exaggeration, but it was true that the rooftop was not suitable for planting things directly. Fu Ying saw that many residents of the buildings used flower pots, which were clean and convenient. Perhaps they were also afraid of penetrating the cement.

"That's impossible. Doesn't your neighbor Kui's family always grow it?" Fu's mother wondered.

"That's because his family only grows vegetables with short roots, but it's not good to grow them for too long. If you want to grow them, plant less. And it's troublesome for us to go up to the roof."

There are no stairs to the roof of the Fu family's house. One has to either climb up from the wall of Fu Ying's house like climbing a rock, or climb over from the second floor of Kui Ge's house next door and slowly step on the narrow bricks to get over.

It's not convenient to go up to the roof.

So when Fu's mother wanted to build a second floor, she also felt that it would be too easy for the neighbors to come over, which was not a good thing after all.

Mother Fu stopped talking. She was thinking that it would be very convenient to have a yard to grow vegetables. Unconsciously, she thought of what Fu Ying said about buying the house at the back.

If you buy it, you don’t have to plant too much. It would be convenient to plant some coriander, mint, onion and garlic for your own consumption!
