After a simple rebirth

After Fu Ying finished speaking, the whole family fell silent.

Fu's mother muttered, "Why didn't her teacher tell her earlier? If I had known earlier that she couldn't go to high school, I would have brought Fu Ying and Fu Zhe to study in my hometown instead of working outside."

Mother Fu felt very regretful. If she had known earlier that keeping the child with her would mean ruining the child's education, she would rather stay in her hometown and work on the land. It is much more important for the child to study well than to work.

Fu's brother-in-law, whose name is Wang Changjie, said at this time, "The teacher definitely didn't tell you that when you are in the second and third year of junior high school, you will all go back to your hometown to study. How can she recruit students?"

My brother-in-law's words made everyone even more silent.

Yes, why would the school tell students and parents so loudly that it is difficult for people with non-local household registration to attend high school here? Fu Ying was also curious why the teacher did not tell them about this, and why some parents knew about it and chose to transfer their children in the second semester of the second year of junior high school.

Thinking about the composition of the classmates in the class, nearly half of them are from other cities in Guangdong Province. They can go to ordinary high schools locally and do not need to transfer. For the remaining students from other provinces, some families just want to put their children in school and have the school and teachers look after them. Another part may be like Fu Ying's family, who don't know the situation, or will go back after the high school entrance examination.

Many of the students who returned to their hometowns knew each other, and several of them were from the same town and village, so their parents might have communicated with each other. Fu Ying's family was far from these students' homes, and they were not from the same province. Fu's parents did not know about it, nor did they understand the regulations in this regard, so they were kept in the dark. Moreover, Fu Ying remembered that there were very few parent-teacher meetings in junior high school, and the school did not organize activities such as "pre-exam parent mobilization" when the high school entrance examination was approaching. In addition to the fact that many parents were too busy at work and few could come, another reason might be that they were afraid that the parents would exchange information and return to their hometowns?

No wonder the number of students in junior high school decreases as the grades increase. There are seven classes in the first grade, five classes in the second grade, and only two classes in the third grade! At that time, Fu Ying didn't think too deeply about it, and Fu's parents just thought that the school couldn't recruit students.

Father Fu broke the atmosphere and said, "I'll see if Yu Xiang is asleep. If not, ask him to help find someone in the next two days to see if Xiaoying can go back to high school directly."

For Fu's parents, who have been working outside, there are only poor relatives like themselves in their hometown, and no high-ranking officials or big shots. The only one who has some hope is Yu Xiang, who lives in the county town and knows a lot of people.

But when Fu Ying heard this, she felt pessimistic.

Yu Xiang and the Fu family were not related at all. They didn't know each other. Fu Yu's husband Wang Changjie came to Guangdong Province to work with his relatives and married Fu Yu. Yu Xiang's wife and Fu Yu's husband are cousins ​​of the same grandfather, so they are considered cousins. Yu Xiang's family came to Guangdong Province to develop, and they got to know Fu's father and mother through kinship.

Yu Xiang is a half-black and half-white person. He has no proper job, but he has a little bit of everything and knows a little bit of everyone. It's not true that he has a lot of connections and power. But if there are some small things, he can still use some connections to help you solve them.

Fu's father and mother had asked him to do several things, and of course some were successful and some were not. However, Fu's father remembered these favors and was very polite to him. He also thought of him first when he needed help.

Fu Ying had also asked him to do a small thing, but it didn't work out because of some unexpected things. At that time, Fu Ying worked as a tour guide, and her Greater Bay Area visa had expired, so she was going to renew it. The regulations in Yunnan Province require that the person must be present in person or send the original ID card to write a power of attorney, and Guangdong Province did not support 24-hour renewal at that time. Fu Ying had no choice but to send her ID card and power of attorney to Yu Xiang's home. Yu Xiang had already said that he had received it and would get it for her in two days. After waiting for a week, there was still no word whether it was successful. Fu Ying asked Fu's father, and Fu's father said that he and his wife were in prison. It seemed that the daughter left by Yu Xiang's ex-wife cheated in marriage and ran away with the betrothal gift. Anyway, the couple was in prison for about a year, and the three children they later had were raised by relatives.

The most direct consequence of this incident for Fu Ying was that she had to apply for a new ID card and pass. Fu Ying went back to her hometown twice to get it done.

So Fu Ying was skeptical about asking Yu Xiang for help, but she couldn't tell Fu's parents directly.
