After a simple rebirth

The fire at home was not extinguished, probably because Second Aunt Fu kept coming over to add more coal.

The house wasn't dirty, but Fu Ying still swept the floor, mopped it roughly, and asked Fu Zhe to mop the floor. Then, while there was still some sunshine, she quickly threw the quilt into the washing machine to wash it, and washed her hair inside and out. Her hair was already greasy from three days of being oily.

After Fu Ying finished showering, she asked Fu Zhe to take some water to shower as well. Fu Zhe said he would wait until night, but Fu Ying did not allow it and pushed him back to his room to shower. Now the temperature difference between day and night is big, and Fu Zhe refused to shower with hot water, so he would easily catch a cold.

I washed the quilt and the clothes, and when I was changing the water, Second Aunt Fu came over.

"You just got home?"

"Yes, I just arrived a while ago, so now is the time to wash and dry the quilt." Fu Ying answered her.

"It's too late for you to wash now. Wash it tomorrow morning and it will dry during the day." Aunt Fu said to her.

"It's okay if I can't do it tonight. I'll dry it for another day tomorrow. Just make a bed anywhere to sleep tonight."

Seeing that she was almost done washing, Aunt Fu stopped talking about it and asked something else.

"Where's your mom? Did she go to someone's house to play again? Why can't I see her?"

"She is still at my uncle's house in Zhaojiatun. We have a lot of homework for the National Day holiday, so I told her that Fu Zhe and I would go home to do our homework first. Especially for our class, we can't finish our homework even if we have to do it every day during the seven-day holiday. This has already wasted three days. I have to do it now."

Fu Ying didn't know if Second Aunt Fu would cause any trouble or ask her to help with farming again, so she gave her a lot of homework and stayed up all day studying, so she probably wouldn't be able to come to her again.

Aunt Fu didn't say whether she wanted to find her for work, but she was scolding Fu Ma.

"You lazy bastard, you only know how to play around. How could you let two little kids like you and Fu Zhe come back by car? Aren't you afraid that they will be sold by human traffickers? You won't even have anywhere to cry when the time comes!"

Fu Ying wanted to say that she knew how to protect herself, but Second Aunt Fu had never gotten along well with Fu Ma, and Fu Ying didn't want to get involved. It was common for Second Aunt Fu to scold Fu Ma.

The daughter-in-law and the sister-in-law were born to be at odds with each other, and Second Aunt Fu had always disliked the fact that Mother Fu was lazy and loved to play mahjong, so they were always at loggerheads.

What's even more deadly is that Second Aunt Fu has always resented Fu Ma. She didn't resent what Fu Ma did to her, but she resented the fact that Fu Ma refused to come back when Grandma Fu passed away. She didn't even come back for the funeral, let alone other times. Second Aunt Fu has always remembered it.

But according to Fu Ying's understanding, the situation is still a bit complicated.

In those two years, Grandma Fu was in poor health and asked to repair the house, so the family owed a lot of money. Mom Fu was anxious to go out to work and earn money to pay off the debt. At first, Grandma Fu didn't let her go out, especially Dad Fu.

There is no other way to make money in the countryside. The Fu family has no assets, no background, and no way out.

Fu's father and mother went out to work for half a year. Grandma Fu said that her health was not good and she wanted Fu's father to come back to see her for the last time. When they came back, Grandma Fu's condition was not very serious and she went out again.

Later, Grandma Fu became seriously ill again, and Mom Fu came back to take care of Grandma Fu. But Grandma Fu was not so happy because she wanted to see her son.

Fu Ying still remembers that time when Fu's mother came home in the afternoon, and she was very happy to see Fu's mother. But in fact, when she thinks back, Fu's mother was carsick, and she was in a bad mood and pale when she rushed back. It took her a long time to recover.

In response to grandma's request, Fu's father had no choice but to return home. After the Chinese New Year, Fu's mother decided to go out to work again. Usually, people go out after the eighth day of the first lunar month. There is a local saying that if you don't go out on the seventh day, you won't return home on the eighth day.

But Fu Ying remembers very well that it was still the first month of the lunar year, a few days after the Lantern Festival, when Fu's mother went out to work with her fellow villagers. At the end of the first month of the lunar year, they planted potatoes. At that time, Fu's father took them to the big cemetery. Fu's father dug a ditch, Fu Ying and Fu Zhe planted potatoes, and Fu Yu was responsible for applying fertilizer. When they were halfway through planting the land, a relative suddenly came over and called them, saying that Grandma Fu was dying and asked Fu's father to go back quickly.

Fu Ying didn't remember what happened afterwards. I don't know if it was because her brain automatically forgot about the sad event, or because it had been so many years that she couldn't remember clearly, but Fu Ying actually didn't know that Fu's mother hadn't come back.

During the Chinese New Year one year, Fu Ying went to help Second Aunt Fu cook tofu. Second Aunt Fu was chatting with her. She might have been in a bad mood and suddenly talked about the deceased Third Aunt Fu and Grandma Fu. Then she cried and said that Mother Fu was cruel and did not come back after Grandma Fu died. Only then did Fu Ying know about it.

Fu Ying asked Fu Yu later, and Fu Yu said that Fu's mother had just gone out and it was not convenient for her to ask for leave to come back. At the same time, she asked Fu Ying not to meddle in the affairs of the older generation. The dispute between them was not just a few words, and they should just continue to interact as usual.

Fu Ying knew that Second Aunt Fu was resentful, and she also knew that Father Fu was also resentful about this matter.

At least when Grandpa Zhao passed away, Mom Fu came back alone, and Dad Fu did not come back.

It seems that some things will be remembered for a lifetime, but the efforts of the person cannot be erased.

No matter how much Second Aunt Fu scolded Mother Fu in front of Fu Ying and the others, she only said that she was lazy and never mentioned anything about Grandma Fu, so Fu Ying pretended she knew nothing about it.

It seemed that Second Aunt Fu just came to take a look. When she left, she didn't say anything except asking Wang Yu to come over later to do homework together.

Fu Ying doesn’t care, just do her homework.

Fu Zhe wanted to go out and play, but was caught by Fu Ying. It was inconvenient for him to be outside in the past few days, so Fu Zhe did not study at all. Now that he is back home, he has to regain his study attitude.

Fu Zhe is only in the second year of junior high school. Fu Ying does not plan to let him learn knowledge in advance. When the time comes, he finds the classes easy and neglects classroom learning, and his attitude becomes improper.

Fu Ying still mainly asked him to review what he had learned before. Before, she mainly asked him to recite. Now she lets him try to make a mind map by himself, which gradually promotes his learning initiative and strengthens his self-study ability.

But when it comes to sorting it out himself, Fu Zhe's first reaction is to refuse.

Fu Ying didn't spoil him. Firstly, there was no distinction between arts and sciences in junior high school. If he wanted to improve his grades, he had to do well in all subjects. Secondly, he had to learn to study independently. Continuous self-study and self-discipline were things he had to master in the future.

No one was paying attention to Fu Ying as soon as he graduated from high school, but at that time he was in his second year of high school, which was a critical period. Without this ability, he had no way to pursue her even if he wanted to.

Fu's parents always think that studying is their own business. Good grades are what they deserve, and bad grades mean they didn't study hard. At most, they would ask if they have done their homework, and then ask them to listen to the teacher more and ask the teacher if they don't understand.

Most of the time they don't know how to do it themselves, so naturally they can't help much.

While Fu Ying is studying now, we are in the same school and have basically the same schedule, so I can take care of him.

Fu Ying has the experience and methods, Fu Zhe has the intelligence, their attitude is okay, and they are not tired of learning. Most importantly, they are also willing to listen to what Fu Ying says, so there is great hope.

Fu Zhe reluctantly opened the Chinese textbook. He decided to start making a mind map from Chinese knowledge.

Fu Ying asked him to organize ancient poems and classical Chinese texts according to the general format of writers, dynasties, representative works, representative verses, and characteristics. He could also add other things and bring them over for inspection after he had finished organizing.

Wang Yu also came to do her homework. Fu Ying asked her to finish the homework assigned by the teacher first, and then arranged for her to recite ancient poems and do exercises.
