After a simple rebirth

Xiao Heitan didn't say whether he would drop out of school, because he was not sure. But in the end, he went to work part-time with Fu Ying, tacitly earning and saving money.

The two of them received 20 yuan each on the weekend, and Fu Ying asked Fu's mother for 10 yuan more, saying that it was 10 yuan for the activity class fee.

After finishing her morning reading on Monday, Fu Ying was preparing to look at some Chinese language materials, but it turned out that her classmates were pushing their chairs around in a scattered manner. Fu Ying looked and saw that they were pushing the chairs under the table and some of them were queuing outside.

Maomao patted her arm and said, "Come on, line up, and go down to raise the flag."

Fu Ying followed in a daze and put the stool away. When she reached the door, she hesitated again. Which line should she be standing in? Help me. The national flag hadn't been raised for hundreds of years, and there were no physical education classes. How could I remember which line I should stand in?

When I was in junior high school, I was considered to be of average height in my class, and I seemed to stand at the back? Because I remember that when I did radio gymnastics, I was jumping at the back, with many people in front and only a few people at the back.

The head of the team was in the front, and I was near the back. After hesitating for a while, I heard a classmate calling me over. There was still a little space in the front. That should be it.

Fu Ying remembered that the girl's name seemed to be Wei Yang, and she also studied at a technical secondary school, but not at the same school as herself, and studied fashion design. After chatting with her later, Fu Ying envied her for studying her favorite major.

I walked over and stood in front of her. In front of Fu Ying was Chen Yunqing. This queue was not right. Chen Yunqing was taller than me, so shouldn't she stand behind her?

Sports teacher Song Bing gathered everyone and led the group downstairs to the playground. The classes on the lower floors lined up themselves.

The long-lost national flag was raised and the national anthem was played. The deepest feeling after returning was at this moment, behind the national flag was the tall teaching building, in front of the national flag were the young people.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Fu Ying listened carefully to the seventh graders’ speeches on stage. The hard work of these top students was indeed positive energy.

Then the moral education director said that he would give out awards for the monthly exams to the top ten students in each grade, and the students who heard their names went up to receive their awards.

Fu Ying was puzzled. There was no monthly exam for the third year of junior high school last month, only a joint exam. It was less than a week after the joint exam. How could the results be released so quickly? The teachers were too hard-working!

Fu Ying was shocked to find that Xiao Heitan was on the list of first-year junior high school students. Could Xiao Heitan have ever done so well in the exam?

Fu Ying remembered that Fu Zhe's grades were not as good as Fu Ying's, so in order to motivate him, Fu's father told him that he would get a 10 yuan reward if he ranked in the top ten in the class, but Fu Ying did not get it.

Fu Ying also asked her father, who said that because she had good grades, she could get into the top ten without any reward, so only Fu Zhe had the reward, and if Fu Ying scored 100 points, she would also get the reward. The fact was that Fu Ying could not get points, and she would not deliberately test herself just because there was no reward, so she did not ask again.

This time Fu Zhe actually ranked in the top ten in the grade, and wondered if he would get a 20 yuan reward. Fu Ying thought that if he got 20 yuan, she would borrow 5 yuan from Xiao Heitan, and she would pay it back later.

Thinking about this, Fu Ying heard that the list of names for the third grade students had been read out, and the third one was Fu Ying's name. Fu Ying was not surprised.

I have always been in the top ten in my class, and I am in a key class. The top ten in a key class is almost equal to the top ten in my grade. I forgot some of the results in this exam, but I studied hard, so it is normal for me to be in the top ten. As for my name being the third one, it might just be that I happened to be read.

The first few students whose names were read out started walking towards the flag-raising platform. Fu Ying followed them and stood on the platform. She looked at the huge crowd of primary and secondary school students below the stage. There were so many people!

They lined up and waited for the school's reward, which was personally handed out by the dean of studies, Black-Faced Qiu. Each person received a notebook, which was estimated to sell for 1 yuan each in the stationery store.

The difference is that there is a school official seal on the first page, and there are words written in the middle: Juxing School’s third monthly exam reward.
