After a simple rebirth

On the way, Fu Ying asked Li Xingying, "Have you ever eaten in the school cafeteria?"

"When no one is at home, I eat in the canteen. The food tastes good and there are many choices, but the canteen auntie gives too little meat."

Fu Ying nodded, which meant that eating in the cafeteria was something they could consider.

"Do you want to eat in the cafeteria?" Li Xingying asked her.

"Let's wait until Fuzhe starts school and see if he comes home to eat in the evening. If he goes to the dining hall, I'll go to the dining hall too, and my mom won't have to cook too much."

"Yes, your family is too small, and cooking is troublesome. I have parents, my grandmother, and sometimes my sister and her children come over, too. I have to cook a lot of meals every day." Li Xingying sighed when she thought of the different situations of the two families.

When she got home, Fu's mother had already prepared the meal. Seeing her coming back, she asked her to serve the meal. Little Black Tan also knew to come back early today, and ran in and sat down when Fu Ying was serving the meal.

While eating, Fu Ying also told her mother that they might eat dinner in the cafeteria in the future.

Fu's mother disagreed, "You spend so much money on food every day at school, and if you add Fu Zhe, your monthly living expenses will increase a lot. Where will you get that much money?

You can go home and eat. Rice is not expensive. The three of us can just cook two or three dishes. The vegetables we grow at home can be eaten in a while, so we don’t need to spend money to buy vegetables.

The food in school is expensive and scarce. The school doesn't need to make money, so how much can they give you to eat? You are just giving money away to the school for nothing!"

Fu Ying was silent, and at that moment, she felt that what Fu's mother said made sense.

From the perspective of saving money, it is definitely cheaper to eat at home. No matter how thrifty the school is in ordering, a dish, a meat and a rice will cost about five yuan, and the living expenses for two people a month will be nearly five hundred yuan.

But from a learning perspective, the time saved by going home to eat and cook in the evening can definitely be used to learn more, and it is easy to get into a learning state in the classroom.

Moreover, Fu Ying had just started school, and Fu's mother had just returned to her hometown, so Fu's mother was at home every day and could cook early.

But Fu Ying knows Fu's mother too well. If Fu's mother is the type who misses her children all the time and cooks meals for them to eat, it would be fine. Fu Ying would feel guilty if she doesn't come back to eat. But Fu's mother is impatient. After Fu Zhe starts school, she will definitely go out every day to play mahjong, visit other people's homes, and help other families enthusiastically. When she is in a good mood, she will give them some money to buy food for themselves. When she is in a bad mood, she will let them cook noodles for themselves. Just do whatever you want and don't bother her.

Fu's mother thought she had persuaded Fu Ying, and continued, "Don't underestimate this little money. It's a lot to spend every month. You guys are not far away, so you can cook when you come back. I'm very anxious now because I don't have a job and no salary. I'm living on my savings at home. I have no money and I have to go to others to borrow money, and then I'm urged to pay it back. Xiaoying, you have to understand that you must spend frugally!"

Fu Ying sighed inwardly, it was indeed too difficult now, she would just have to wait until Fu Zhe started school and see how things would turn out.

However, if she couldn't handle dinner, she could always settle for breakfast.

"Then I can go out and buy breakfast, okay? It's so early in the morning, I can't get up to cook, and you can't get up either. And I'll get sick if I eat noodles every day."

Fu's mother glared at Fu Ying, "Why are you like a debt collector? Just go out and buy breakfast occasionally, and cook it at home when you can get up." She paused again, and it was indeed difficult for her to get up. "Is fifty cents a day enough for you?"

Fu Ying looked directly at Fu Ma with an indescribable expression, "How can 50 cents be enough? What can 50 cents buy now?"

A few years ago, 50 cents could buy a bun, but now 50 cents is definitely not enough. Fu Ying felt that she would not be full after eating only one bun. She was at the age of growing up and was prone to hunger. She also considered eating something after the break, so as not to be hungry during the last class and have to walk home to eat.

Fu's mother also knew that fifty cents was too little, and after testing her daughter, she found that it was not feasible, so she could only offer one yuan.

"I'll give you one dollar a day, just buy breakfast. Don't spend it on anything else, like drinks or snacks."

Fu Ying nodded. One yuan was acceptable. Li Xingying and the others only needed one yuan a day. Fu's mother would definitely ask about the pocket money given by other families, and would ask for it back if she was given too much.

Fu Zhe said, "Mom, I want one dollar too. I want to buy breakfast, too."

Fu's mother glared at me again and cursed me passionately, "You want everything. Ask who wants to buy someone. If you sell me, I'll have the money to give you!"

Fu Ying laughed. Fu Zhe was asking for trouble. Their request for breakfast money already made Fu's mother angry, and it increased the daily fixed expenses. He was asking for money before school started, so he would definitely be scolded even more.

Fu Ying and Fu Zhe gave all their part-time job income to Fu's mother, who also had her and Fu's father's previous wages. Although the family was constantly spending money, it had not really hit rock bottom, so Fu Ying was not worried.

As for the future, let's see how Fu's parents discuss it after the New Year. She still prefers that since both her parents are working, Fu's mother can't stay in her hometown.

Fu Zhe was still feeling aggrieved, "My second sister gets one yuan for breakfast every day, why don't I have any?"

"Your second sister has already started school. Are you in school now? I'll give it to you after you start school!"

"Oh," Fu Zhe replied reluctantly, but he was happy to have money for breakfast.

Fu Ying quickly cleaned up, instructed Fu Zhe to wash the dishes, and slipped back to her room.

I packed the high school materials that I promised to bring to my geography teacher last night, but I forgot about them in the morning.

Just finished eating, digesting while standing. To be honest, this habit of digesting while standing after eating can only be maintained during school life. After work, it is good enough to eat on time, and forget about other life habits.

When Fu Ying woke up from her nap and couldn't see her mother, she didn't care. She looked at the fire and saw that there was no need to light it, so she closed the door and went to school.

Today afternoon's chemistry class is a science subject, but Fu Ying feels that it can be classified as a liberal arts subject because the formulas and the periodic table all depend on memorization, and if you memorize them, you can solve the questions to a certain extent.

The chemistry teacher is not very old, but he is also a serious person. He talks a lot in class without any hesitation.

Fu Ying was a little bit looking forward to the physical education class after the chemistry class. She didn’t know what the physical education class in high school would be like. Would it be like in junior high school where students would just take a test and then have free time to move around, or would there be a lot of tasks?

During class, the physical education teacher had to come and pick up the students because the class had not yet lined up. People like Fu Ying who didn't know where to gather had to wait in the classroom.

Everyone followed the teacher to the playground, which was still under construction. The basketball court had been repaired, so we lined up there first. The plastic track on the playground was half paved, and the football field had a frame, but the grass was not ready yet. It was expected to be put into use before the end of this semester.

The physical education teacher first arranged the teams for exercises and flag-raising, and asked the boys to line up according to their height, and the girls to line up according to their height. The boys who were taller than the others were moved to the girls' team, and then the selection of the troops began. Those who were taller than the others were moved to the back, and the slope was smoothed down so that they would not be blocked.

After being transferred back and forth, Fu Ying was moved to the middle, neither up nor down. In junior high school, Fu Ying almost stood at the back, and it was so nice to see all the people standing there. Now she is neither in front nor behind, and no one recognizes her. She forgets where she stood when the show is over.

As expected, the PE teacher asked everyone to line up and then disperse. Fu Ying quickly looked for a thin girl with a low ponytail. It was too hard to find one. Many girls here were thin and they all had low ponytails.

Maybe she was more recognizable. When she was looking around, a girl waved at her and Fu Ying hurried over.

"Fu Ying, you stand here, you are in front of me."

"Thank you, I almost lost it." Fu Ying felt that she would have to look at her next time. Just now she was wearing a thin low ponytail. Okay, both the front and back are black, thin, low ponytails. Good luck next time!

After lining up this line, they lined up for the physical education class. Fortunately, it was based on this line. For her, the people on both sides of her did not change. The tall girls at the end and some boys formed the second row, and the other boys formed the third and fourth rows.

When the physical education teacher asked everyone to disperse, she stood directly next to that girl. When they gathered again, she stood next to her, making a perfect comeback.

After the team was organized, the physical education teacher led them to do some warm-up exercises, such as the usual wrist and foot rotations.

When Fu Ying thought that the time was up and they could move freely, the teacher asked them to run, with the girls running three laps around the basketball court and the boys running five laps around the basketball court.

After a while of wailing, Fu Ying also cried out in pain. She was really bad at running! She was out of breath after running one lap, blushed after running two laps, and felt like dying after running three laps. Otherwise, her physical education score in the high school entrance examination would not be so bad.

Despite all the howling, the physical education teacher mercilessly told the first girl to start running, and then they ran in rows, one after another, like playing cards.

The girl in front was running slowly, and everyone else was running slowly. After the girl finished three laps, the boys continued running. A few girls sat down immediately. Fu Ying didn't dare to sit down. Her calves were already a little thick and muscular. If she didn't pay attention, she would return to the muscular legs of her previous life. It was too difficult to lose weight.

She wanted to stretch her legs on the parallel bars. The parallel bars had an inexplicable attraction to her. She wanted to climb up when she saw them, and if she was shorter, she wanted to cross her legs and stretch her legs. But with so many people around, it was still a bit awkward. Fu Ying quietly found a corner with steps that were 3-4 centimeters wide, and stood upside down. Stretching was better than doing nothing.

After the boys finished running, they gathered again. After the physical education teacher made sure that most people remembered their positions, he let them go. They were finally free to move around, but they could not leave school or leave the school.

Some boys approached the physical education teacher nonchalantly to make friends and wanted to borrow a basketball to play with. The girls found a place to sit. Some people, like Fu Ying, chose to go back to class.

Fu Ying went back to class to get geography materials. Actually, she was not sure whether the geography teacher was there, but this was the time when she had the most free time, so she went to check and put the materials on his desk if he was not there.

On the way, Fu Ying smelled herself. It was good that she didn't smell bad. She didn't sweat a lot, and three laps on the basketball court wouldn't make her smell like sweat. It wouldn't be embarrassing to go to the office.
