After a simple rebirth

When she sat down at school, Wang Xueting suddenly came over and asked her,

"Fu Ying, is it your birthday today?"

Fu Ying was surprised. How did she know? She remembered that her family ran a restaurant. Was that her store?

"Yes! Today is my lunar birthday. Is the restaurant I'm having dinner at owned by your family?"

"No, it's my uncle's business, and I go there to help out occasionally. I just happened to see your family celebrating your birthday nearby."

Fu Ying suddenly realized, no wonder.

"Is that your mother? You have so many brothers and sisters?"

Fu Ying looked at her inexplicably, "That's my sister, those three kids are her children, and the other one in school uniform is my brother."

Wang Xueting nodded awkwardly and left.

Before Fu Ying could figure out why she had made this inexplicable trip, she came back.

"Happy birthday to you. I just found out about your birthday unexpectedly. I'm giving you a box of chocolates. My mom bought them in the city. I haven't eaten them yet!"

Fu Ying was surprised and quickly refused, "No, no, just a blessing will do. Thank you for your kindness. You can keep it for yourself."

"Just take the gift given to you. It's not like I don't have any at home."

After putting it on Fu Ying's desk, Wang Xueting left, and Fu Ying didn't have time to return it to her.

Chen Lu quickly asked her,

"Fu Ying, it's your birthday today? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I didn't have time to prepare any birthday present for you!"

Fu Ying quickly waved her hands again, "No need to prepare, no need to give me a gift, I don't celebrate my birthday too much, it just so happens that my sister's child and I have a birthday close to each other, so my sister said she wanted to go out for a bite to eat."

"No, that won't work. It's okay if I don't know. If I knew, I would definitely give you a birthday present!"

As Chen Lu spoke, she began to rummage through Fu Ying's schoolbag, probably to see what she could give her.

"Really, no need. I didn't even know it was your birthday, and I didn't give you any presents. You don't have to give me one."

"Found it! I just bought this pen last week. I think it's very easy to write with and looks good. I bought two and I'll give you one for free. Don't refuse!"

Fu Ying was about to speak when Chen Lu put it on her desk without saying anything.

"You can't refuse a birthday present. I wish you a happy birthday, happiness every day, and more and more beautiful!"

Looking at Chen Lu's sincere eyes, Fu Ying had no choice but to accept the gift.

"Thank you."

Although Fu Ying was in the back row, she was no longer in the corner, so any slight movement would spread quickly, and several people knew that it was Fu Ying's birthday today.

Lin Jincheng threw a bag of spicy noodles to him from behind, "Happy birthday, I didn't have time to prepare, so I'll give you a bag of spicy noodles."

Fu Ying wanted to refuse, but Lin Jincheng tilted his head and said, "If you don't listen, you have to accept the gift you gave away."

Chen Lu also helped to persuade her, "It's just a birthday gift, it's not expensive, just accept it."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Wenbo handed him a notebook.

"Newly bought, perfect for the top student, happy birthday!"

It would be bad to accept one without taking the other, so Fu Ying had no choice but to take it.

"Thank you. I am very happy to receive your gift."

The class bell rang at the right time, and Fu Ying turned back to face the podium.

Suddenly someone threw something on Fu Ying's desk.

"Fu Ying, happy birthday! Let's go to class. I won't say any more!"

Fu Ying looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person running over and away in a hurry was actually Tan Jinyu.

Fu Ying looked at the thing on the table. It was a hairpin. It was not a fancy color, but pure silver with some sequins that little girls would love. It looked pretty nice.

While the head teacher seemed to be not here yet, Fu Ying quickly looked towards Tan Jinyu's position and shouted,

"Tan Jinyu, thank you."

Tan Jinyu looked at her and grinned, but fearing that the head teacher would suddenly appear, she quickly lowered her head and pretended to study.

People who give gifts like to see their gifts recognized. Fu Ying opened the package and put the hairpin on. It's fun to be a little girly sometimes.

The head teacher was not always in the classroom, but came in and out occasionally. As a result, just after he was out for a while, Fu Ying received another gift, a small notebook specially for memorizing words. Fu Ying looked in the direction her classmate pointed and saw it was Wang Qiuping.

She just happened to look over and saw Fu Ying smilingly making a heart shape with her hands towards her. She originally wanted to refill the pen with her thumb and index finger, but was afraid that she wouldn't know, so she used the most crude way.

She also smiled and gestured back.

Looking at the sudden little gifts, although I don’t celebrate my birthday specifically, who wouldn’t be happy to receive a sudden little surprise on my real birthday!

With a good mood, Fu Ying started studying.

As a result, during the break, perhaps because the little actions of each student aroused the curiosity of other classmates, Fu Ying felt that all the classmates seemed to know that it was her birthday today!

Specifically, when the break came, before she had even left her seat, several classmates suddenly came to give her gifts, saying "Happy Birthday".

They were all new pens, new notebooks, snacks and so on. Fu Ying was surprised that she was so popular!

Looking at the full table, Fu Ying was both happy and touched.

When class was about to start, Fu Ying made a decision.

Fu Ying walked to the podium and talked to the head teacher about something, then turned to the students.

“Today is my birthday. Normally I don’t celebrate my birthday too much and I didn’t want to make a big deal about it, but a few classmates happened to know about it, and many of them gave me small gifts to the best of their ability.

I am very happy and thank you all very much for your gifts. I can feel your sincere thoughts.

I know that some of my classmates are like me. They don’t celebrate their birthdays specially or publicize it.

So I have an idea, why don’t we just celebrate our birthdays together? Those with birthdays in the same month can celebrate together on the first Friday of the week.

For example, it is May now. If you have a birthday in May, please celebrate with me today. The things on my desk are gifts for everyone.

Sharing joy is worse than enjoying it alone. Share stationery with people who have birthdays in May, and eat snacks with your classmates and enjoy them together."

Fu Ying was not being a nice guy on purpose, nor was she pushing her birthday presents out of the door, but some of her classmates were very low-key and didn't celebrate their birthdays. Also, she knew that today was her birthday, and a small number of classmates saw that others had given her presents, so they gave her some snacks or something because they felt bad not to.

She wanted to just share this thing, so they could live together, be happy together, and be noticed together.

The head teacher also took over the conversation.

"This is a good idea from classmate Fu Ying. We can celebrate together and everyone doesn't have to give gifts."

Fu Ying continued,

"Then please invite those students who have birthdays in May to come up on stage to receive blessings. According to the lunar calendar, those students whose birthdays happen to be in this month are welcome to come up.

It’s not a performance or anything, no need to be embarrassed, no need to do anything, just feel the birthday wishes from classmates together.”

There were a few students below who were hesitant, but after being pushed by the students next to them, they finally came up.

Including Fu Ying, there were six people in total. The students in the audience spontaneously sang "Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday to you!"

Fu Ying also enjoyed clapping along with the rhythm. This was the first time she had experienced this scene.

Of course there was embarrassment, but there were more sudden surprises and the harmonious atmosphere of the class.

The vivid high school classmates and the exciting high school life are enough to freeze the beautiful pictures deep in the memory!

Fu Ying really distributed the snacks, and let the other five people choose the stationery themselves. The hairpin given by Tan Jinyu was still on Fu Ying's head, the notebooks given by Wang Qiuping were placed separately, and the chocolate given by Wang Xueting and the spicy strips given by Shen Wenbo had already been put into the schoolbag. This one was different, so she had to keep it for herself.

However, each of the five people only chose one thing and then returned to their seats.

Fu Ying silently endured and put away the rest.

The class cohesion had visibly improved, so even though the class was occasionally a little noisy later on, the head teacher didn't say anything.
