After a simple rebirth

While lying in bed, Fu Ying suddenly remembered that she had not been reimbursed and had no money left!

"Mom, I have to pay 10 yuan for class fees tomorrow, and I spent another 30 yuan on notebooks today. I paid 20 yuan myself, which means you have to give me 30 yuan in total now."

When I mentioned paying my mother, she got angry. "Why are you buying things again? You are spending money so lavishly now. Your father is the only one working in our family, and his salary is not high. You should spend money frugally!"

Fu Ying listened to these words with one ear and out the other. Her ears were callused from hearing them. No matter when she asked her parents for money during her school days or when she became independent and had her own money after working, her mother would always nag her like this.

"Everyone in the class has to pay class fees to buy exercise books for the new semester. Which one should I not spend? I can't tell the head teacher that I won't pay the class fees and buy exercise books. Maybe I will have to buy study materials later, and I don't know if the teacher will ask everyone to buy them."

Fu Ying knew how to shut Fu's mother up by making the reason for spending money sound more important and useful, so that she would feel that the money had to be spent and it was okay as long as it was spent correctly.

Fu's mother paused, but continued to say, "I'm not saying that you shouldn't buy stationery. You must buy things for study. I'm telling you not to spend money recklessly and to be frugal."

"Okay, I won't spend money recklessly." Fu Ying perfunctorily said, and then changed the subject, "Did you turn on your alarm clock? If it doesn't ring tomorrow, I won't be able to get up."

"It was on. I didn't turn it off." After saying that, Fu's mother checked the alarm clock to make sure it was on. Just as she was about to speak, she saw that Fu Ying was almost asleep, so she went to sleep too.

I ate noodles again the next morning. I eat noodles quite frequently after returning to my hometown. The local custom of eating noodles is to cook the soup noodles in two rounds. Since the noodles have to be cooked in soup, eggs have to be added. In terms of cost, it is not a bad idea to buy them.

Well, Fu Ying wanted to change her breakfast. She had lost her appetite after eating noodles every day.

This morning, the classes officially started because we started morning reading at 7:20, which is ten minutes earlier than yesterday.

As usual, she was waiting for Li Xingying. She was a little faster today, but she still didn't have breakfast. She said she wanted to go to another breakfast shop and eat steamed buns. Anyway, she ate while walking, so it didn't waste time, so Fu Ying let her do as she pleased.

After she sat down in the classroom, the person sitting in front of her came over and returned her junior high school geography materials to her. Fu Ying took them and put them away, waiting to continue copying them during evening self-study or on the weekend.

The morning reading class is Chinese. The new Chinese class representative tried very hard to lead the reading in Mandarin. Fortunately, the students would be able to read aloud only after she started.

Her Mandarin is not good, which is normal and not a big problem. She will not be laughed at here. People who have always lived in the local area have a hard time speaking Mandarin well due to the influence of the accent.

People like the Fu family who have been living outside all the time can't even speak Mandarin well, and their Mandarin intonations are weird, let alone them.

The ones who speak the worst Mandarin in the Fu family are Fu's father and mother. When they chat with people and can't express themselves in Mandarin, they speak directly in their hometown dialect. The ups and downs of their voices also follow the rhythm of their hometown dialect. Fortunately, the dialects in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are easy to understand, so others have no major difficulty in listening to them.

When I was in Guangdong Province, I inevitably interacted with the locals around me. Wow, the phrases "speaking at cross purposes" and "chickens pecking at each other" are not nice to hear, but they are very vivid. On one side was the Yunnan version of Mandarin, and on the other side was the Cantonese version of Mandarin. In fact, Fu Ying suspected that neither side understood, and they were just going through the motions to communicate, relying on actions to guess, so Fu Ying wanted to laugh every time she saw it.

The one who speaks Mandarin best is Fu Ying, and only Fu Ying.

Looking back, Fu Ying has forgotten how she practiced Mandarin, and it seems that she has never had a strong accent. In junior high school and technical secondary school, I was in contact with students from all provinces, and I always spoke Mandarin without any accent. I also used Mandarin when explaining things at work.

After staying in Guangdong Province for a long time, I learned Cantonese, but I lost my Yunnan accent and took on a Cantonese accent.

So after returning to her hometown, when she went to the street to buy things, people asked her if she was from another place. Fu Ying said she was from the local area, from Gumang Village. People still didn't believe her and said she didn't have an accent. She could only say that she grew up outside, so her accent was light.

Nowadays, not many people talk to Fu Ying, and the teachers insist on using Mandarin, so Fu Ying still mainly speaks Mandarin. But when communicating with Li Xingying, sometimes Fu Ying can't express herself well, because she doesn't know how to say many words, and she uses Mandarin to translate the local dialect, which Li Xingying corrects her and tells her what the local dialect is called.

Maybe in the future she will learn more localized expressions and forget some authentic Cantonese expressions, because the influence of the language environment is like this, if you don’t use it, you will forget it.

As for Fu Zhe, who studied abroad when he was younger, he is a typical example of someone who makes people speechless. His friends are from other provinces, he learned Mandarin at school, and he plays games and speaks Mandarin, but he has a strong accent.

His Yunnan accent was even heavier than Fu Yu's, who only spoke Mandarin after starting to work. Fu Ying heard him speak Mandarin with long sounds and didn't understand where he learned it from.

Fu Ying scolded him, saying that he couldn't speak Mandarin well and couldn't learn Cantonese, and that he had spent so many years in Guangdong Province in vain. It was fine to see that he was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Whether the Mandarin was standard or not didn't have such a big impact on him, as long as they could communicate.

I don’t know if it’s because young people have good brains, but Fu Ying can often slack off while doing her work, reading ancient poems while thinking about her family’s accents.

After the first Chinese class officially started, Fu Ying found it difficult to slack off because she had never been to high school before and had to adapt quickly. Unlike the first few months of junior high school, when the focus was on review, high school was all new knowledge at this time, and she had to listen and understand it more attentively.

In my last life, there were Chinese classes in the technical secondary school, but I couldn't finish a book in two semesters. The teacher picked out the key points to teach, and the rest was self-taught. Students often dozed off or fell asleep in the audience, but the teacher didn't care. He just opened the PPT and shared knowledge by himself. There was generally no homework, no memorization, and a proper exam at the end of the semester. I passed it based on my usual scores.

Now, perhaps because of the triple buff of being a Chinese teacher + class teacher + grade director, Teacher Tan has a strong teacher aura, and all the students pay attention in class and answer every question loudly.

After finishing this class, Fu Ying's confidence increased and her Chinese language skills became stable. It was not because she was blindly sure that she could get a high score, but because she was young and confident. It's good to be young, your mind works quickly and you can remember things well.

Fu Ying knew that she had a good memory when she was young. It was family genes. Her brothers and sisters all had good memories.

Fu Ma also has a very good memory, especially for money. During those days when she was short of money, Fu Ma gave Fu Ying 10 yuan and asked her to go shopping. After a few days, Fu Ying thought Fu Ma had forgotten about it and wanted to keep the money. When she went to buy something again, she asked Fu Ma for money. As a result, Fu Ma told her clearly when she asked her to buy, how much she bought, and how much money she should have left. Fu Ying no longer dared to underestimate Fu Ma's memory.

Fu Ying's memory declined when she was in her twenties, but it was still pretty good. Plus, she became more stable, so she made fewer mistakes at work.

The reason why Fu Zhe was able to linger in the top ten was purely due to his memory, with no added effort. Otherwise, with his attitude towards learning, it would have been great for him to rank in the middle of the class, not last.

In fact, Fu Ying was not much better in the past. She was very serious in class and doing homework, that's all. She scored high in the exam because she could remember most of the lessons after listening carefully in class. She never previewed or reviewed, and relied purely on her classroom experience.

So when others were studying hard, she was still wondering why they worked so hard but didn't do so well in the exam and were worse than her who didn't study at all.

I think she is simply squandering her youthful brain and thinking ability.

Her habit of taking self-exams is to look for information, watch videos, take notes, read the material several times at double the speed, and practice questions, and she can basically pass it.

It’s different now. After her rebirth, Fu Ying has a young brain, years of self-study habits and self-discipline. If she still doesn’t learn well, she will be dragged out and beaten to death.

With the important learning attitude and the ability to persist in reviewing, Xueba Ying’s road to dominating high school has begun!

After the history class, Xueba Ying’s self-confidence reached its peak. She even thought that with her ability, she would score higher than many people in the college entrance examination next year!

During the break, I pretended to be calm and went to the class monitor to pay the class fee. The sooner I paid, the sooner I would be done.

As a result, this floating state was knocked back to the ground by a stick in math class.

The first math class of the first year of high school, another day of doubting life. The teacher explained sets, elements, and important formulas in a simple and easy-to-understand way. The first class did not require high difficulty or high requirements, but Fu Ying's heart had already cooled down.

Although her high school knowledge is based on the knowledge gained in junior high school, she understands the theory but does not know how to solve the problems.

As a typical liberal arts student, she has already foreseen the future: she can understand and remember the formulas, but she makes mistakes when it comes to solving problems. She cannot change the formulas for application problems, and her process and answers are wrong.

The division into arts and sciences is also done in the second year of high school. You cannot escape science in the first year of high school, and it is impossible to jump to the second year of high school to avoid science.

It is precious to start over in life. Now that she is in high school, Fu Ying will definitely enjoy her high school life to the fullest.

After spending a few minutes doubting her life during the break, Fu Ying still had to face the problem head-on and sort out her thoughts.

As for mathematics, there are four steps: listen to the lectures in class, memorize more formulas, do more exercises, and organize the wrong questions. Fu Ying doesn't believe that she still can't understand it by following these four steps.

Anyway, she knew that she lacked in intelligence but had worked hard enough. She would definitely not be able to do well in the additional questions. She would just rely on the basic questions to get points and be content if she could get above average grades.

After writing down a learning slogan and consoling herself, Fu Ying got herself ready just as the bell rang and it was time to continue her math class.

After the adjustments, Fu Ying was in better shape in class. When the teacher gave the students a few questions to solve, she was able to solve them all quite quickly.

I feel a little happy inside and my IQ is still up.

The morning passed like this, and Fu Ying and Li Xingying reunited and went home for dinner.

The sun is still strong today. Fu Ying insisted on holding an umbrella, and Li Xingying also used the umbrella. It is of course more comfortable to be out of the sun.
