After a simple rebirth

After clarifying her learning goals, Fu Ying took out her Chinese language materials and found another long classical Chinese article, "On Teachers". She began to read it, then recited it silently, and then fell asleep.

If she wasn't woken up in the morning, it was almost the same as being woken up. Fu Ying heard Fu's mother calling her and answered.

"I bought some fried rice noodles downstairs. You and Fu Zhe should remember to eat them and cook lunch early." After saying that, Fu's mother went to work.

Fu Ying also woke up completely, shook Little Black Tan, and asked him whether he wanted to continue sleeping or have breakfast. Little Black Tan didn't wake up at all and didn't pay any attention, so Fu Ying assumed that he chose to continue sleeping.

I took the documents downstairs. There were two disposable lunch boxes on the table. I opened one of them and found the fried rice noodles that Fu's mother had mentioned.

Today is Saturday, but it is not the Dragon Boat Festival yet. Fu's father and mother still have to go to work, and they will have holidays on Sunday and Monday. Fu's mother is afraid that her little daughter and son will be hungry, so she will buy breakfast in advance and put it on the table when she goes to work. Fu Ying and Fu Zhe eat when they can get up, and eat it as lunch when they can't get up.

Fu Ying finished brushing her teeth and ate breakfast. She looked at the clock and saw that it was only seven o'clock. Her father hadn't gone to work yet. She probably didn't get up yet either, so she decided not to go to her house first.

Fu Ying opened the door for some fresh air and started reading the materials sent by the math teacher. She marked the parts she didn't understand and would review them after reading the example questions.

It was already past nine o'clock when Fu Ying finished reading the materials. She took the materials and the test paper to her sister's house, ready to help her watch the child while writing the test paper.

In the hearts of Fu Ying and Fu Zhe, Fu Yu's status is equal to that of their parents. Even when they grow up, Fu Ying and Fu Zhe will listen to their sister and not necessarily their parents.

Fu Yu is the eldest in the family and a girl. She has been taught since childhood that girls should be frugal and manage the household, and that eldest sisters should take care of their younger siblings.

The year Fu Yu graduated from junior high school, her grandmother passed away. She failed to get into a key high school, and since she had younger brothers and sisters to study, she stopped studying and went to Guangdong Province with her parents to work. Fu Yu has always been very good to her family. She earns 1200 yuan, spends 200 yuan on herself, and gives 1000 yuan to her family. She also buys things for her younger brothers and sisters during festivals, and saves every yuan as pocket money for them.

Fu Ying has a deep impression of the year when she was in the sixth grade, which was 08. Fu Yu was not married yet. It happened to be Children's Day, and Fu Yu asked a relative to bring a bag of things to Fu Ying and Fu Zhe, including clothes, shoes, and toys. Fu Ying had a coat, and when she put it on, she found 30 relatively new one-yuan bills in the pocket of the coat. Fu Yu said it was pocket money for them. The cousins ​​were very envious, and Fu Ying generously treated everyone to snacks. Later, she forgot how the money was spent. But Fu Ying always remembered Fu Yu's kindness to them.

After Fu Ying and Fu Zhe started working, they would ask their elder sister for money whenever they needed it. Let’s put it this way, the whole family had borrowed money from Fu Yu, and there was a time when the whole family owed Fu Yu money. But Fu Yu never asked for repayment, nor did she look down on her family because of this.

So Fu Ying and Fu Zhe would often take their nephews out to play and buy them toys. Later, when Fu Yu took the children back to her hometown, Fu Ying would also buy toys and send them back by express delivery. When the nephews came to Guangdong Province for the New Year, she supervised their studies and never ignored them just because they were her sister's children. Fu Yu also supported Fu Ying in helping them improve their grades.

Fu Yu is alone at home taking care of three children. There is no washing machine now, so she has to wash everything by hand, and there are many small things to do. Fu Ying remembers that her sister often did handicrafts. There are many factories here, and there are many mothers like Fu Yu who take care of their children full-time. Some factories outsource time-consuming and uneconomical processes, and many mothers will take the goods home to do, such as garment factories needing to sew lace and string beads. Fu Yu is quick and skillful, and does a good job. When she is busy, she can earn more than 2,000 yuan a month, which is almost equal to a full-time salary. Fu Ying also tried to do handicrafts together, but it was not only slow, but Fu Yu also had to rework some of the work that was not done well.

So Fu's mother often lectured Fu Ying, "You don't even make half of what your sister makes. You can't do handicrafts, and you can't save money. When your sister was your age, she earned 1,000 yuan and saved 1,000 yuan."

Fu Ying will go over to write the test papers and help look after the baby, so Fu Yu can focus on his work.
