After a simple rebirth

After studying for a while, Xiao Heitan also finished his work and came over. Fu Ying asked him to sit down and rewrite yesterday's ancient Chinese text again. If he made no more than three mistakes, he could go out and play for two hours.

The three of them were all working hard, and at least a learning atmosphere was created.

Fu Ying doesn't mind studying with someone, but she knows that having someone next to her, especially at such a close distance, will somewhat affect her learning state.

Precisely because we know this, we need to develop this kind of concentration.

Fu Ying remembered that in her hometown, whether students lived on campus or not, all junior and senior high school students had to attend evening self-study classes, and the time was uncertain. In other words, after school started, she inevitably had to study in a crowded and noisy classroom.

So now we have to adapt in advance. People always have to adapt to various environments. Fu Ying is still capable of adjusting herself.

Fu Ying gradually immersed herself in learning, especially geometry and arithmetic progressions. Although the calculations were troublesome, these challenges made people addicted.

After Xiao Heitan finished writing, he called her. Fu Ying asked him to revise it himself, and she would check for mistakes after he made the revisions.

"Aunt, how can my uncle recite so many classical Chinese texts?" Li Xingying asked them when she heard the noise.

"These are all things he learned in the first year of junior high school, and he still remembers them clearly. Some of them are from the second year of junior high school, so it's okay if he memorizes them in advance." Fu Ying answered her.

"Oh, if I had memorized it in advance like him, I wouldn't have to study so hard now. I couldn't even memorize some of the ancient Chinese texts in junior high school! Now I have to memorize so much in high school!" Li Xingying sighed.

"It's not too late now. If you memorize a little bit every day, you will have memorized most of it before school starts. You have learned these ancient poems and classical Chinese texts, so they are easy to memorize." Fu Ying responded.

Xiao Heitan also finished his revisions and showed it to Fu Ying. Fu Ying took it and looked at it carefully. Seeing that Xiao Heitan had revised it seriously and there were indeed only two mistakes, Fu Ying let him go and play.

"Doesn't my uncle have any summer homework? He shouldn't have to do homework since he transferred to this school, right?" Li Xingying continued to ask in confusion.

"Yes, he doesn't have any summer homework. I arranged this for him so that he can study more. If he plays too much, he will forget all the knowledge he has learned!"

"Wow, you are so awesome! You can assign and correct homework like a little teacher. You are very suitable to be a teacher in the future. Do you want to be a teacher?" Li Xingying's exclamation made Fu Ying stop writing.

"Yes, I want to be a teacher, maybe teach English," Fu Ying replied.

Yes, Fu Ying wants to be a teacher. She wants to teach and educate, put moral education first, and care for every student equally.

It sounds like these are just empty ideals and slogans.

But Fu Ying really thought so firmly.

From the injustice and discrimination she suffered as a child, from the kindness and support she received from every teacher, and from her serious and hardworking character.

Since junior high school, she has had the desire to be a teacher. Her explanations as a tour guide have improved her language skills. Later, she took the English test and decided to take the teaching qualification test after getting her degree. Even if she can't get into a good school, she can go to an ordinary primary school and teach every student well, which will make Fu Ying feel gratified and proud.

And just as most parents think that a stable job is the best for girls, such as nurses and teachers, Fu's father and mother also think so.

When Fu Ying was working as a tour guide, she often stayed out in the sun and went on business trips. Her mother always felt that her job was unstable and advised her to work as a clerk in a factory, which was more stable. Fu Ying insisted on working as a tour guide for the first few years, so when she later heard that she wanted to be a teacher, her parents were very happy and suggested that she go back to Yunnan Province to teach, which was close to home and more stable.

But Fu Ying didn't want to go back to Guangdong to teach. She had been there for too many years, and she started dating a boyfriend not long after that, so she would definitely not go back.

What is even more dramatic is that Fu Ying has never been able to pass the self-study examination. During this period, she experienced many reasons such as exam postponement, cancellation, and failure. Fu Ying finally graduated with both a junior college and a bachelor's degree in the year she was reborn. She is also taking the teaching qualification exam and has not yet obtained a teaching certificate.

So Fu Ying’s dream of becoming a teacher can be said to have lasted for two lifetimes.

In her previous life, Fu Ying also knew that self-taught education was part-time, some schools did not want it, and subsequent work might not be smooth. But for Fu Ying at the time, this was a very important step, both in terms of work, herself, and in the hearts of her family.

So Fu Ying uploads her English teaching videos on the website in her spare time, in order to gain more experience and make her resume look better.

Now that she has the good fortune of being reborn, Fu Ying is more determined to become a teacher. She certainly wants to be a full-time regular soldier in everyone's eyes, and at the same time, she has a professional match and has greater advantages.

Fu Ying has seen many jobs on recruitment websites. Most of them, especially those in small cities, require academic qualifications rather than professional qualifications, as if a full-time undergraduate degree is enough for all jobs. For jobs like teachers, full-time undergraduates are always required, without mentioning majors, or saying that college normal school graduates are acceptable, or that experience is not enough for academic qualifications.

It's both a blessing and a misfortune.

Therefore, Fu Ying’s life goal is very clear. The first step is to take an undergraduate exam in education, the second step is to take the teacher qualification exam, and the third step is to become a teacher.

It must be difficult to get into those key undergraduate normal schools. Fu Ying has never attended high school, so she doesn’t know which one her grades can get her into, but she has to try.

So Fu Ying returned to her first year of high school and all she had to do was study hard.

"Being a teacher is good, but I don't know what to do yet!" Li Xingying sighed slightly.

"Pick the one you're interested in and think about it slowly."

The topic ended and the two continued studying.

Li Xingying didn't know how to answer a few questions, so she turned to ask Fu Ying. But then she realized that Fu Ying was a grade lower than her, and if she didn't know how to answer them, then Fu Ying probably wouldn't know how to answer them either. She could only copy the reference answers.

Fu Ying felt her turn her head and didn't know what was going on, but she didn't say anything since she didn't speak. They just had to learn from each other.

Xiao Heitan came back. Fu Ying looked at the time. It was past eleven o'clock, close to noon. When she asked Xiao Heitan if he was hungry, he shook his head. Fu Ying asked him to recite ancient poems. After reciting the most difficult classical Chinese, he should be able to recite ancient poems soon.

After a while, Li Xingying's grandmother came over with her great-granddaughter and called them to come over for dinner.

Fu Ying called out "Fourth Aunt" and declined the invitation to eat as usual. She really didn't want to eat for free. It wasn't a formal visit to stay for dinner, and the adults were not at home.

Li Xingying took her sister's eldest daughter from her grandmother's arms, hugged her and greeted Fu Ying, saying that she would come to do homework in the afternoon, and then went home with her grandmother.

Fu Ying asked Xiao Heitan to carry it on her back and went to pick up five potatoes, peeled them, cut them into pieces, and soaked them in water for later use. She would then fry them in hot oil and add some chili powder to make a Yunnan-style meal.

As long as you want, fried potatoes can be lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and midnight snack! But most people eat fried potatoes for midnight snacks, especially at barbecue stalls. The best-selling ones are fried potato chips, 4 slices in a string, sprinkled with thick chili powder on both sides, 1.5 yuan.

After listening to Xiao Heitan's recitation, Fu Ying and he slowly ate fried potatoes to kill time.
