After a simple rebirth

After chatting with Chen Weiss for a few more words, Fu Ying hung up the phone.

Fu Yu was very curious about who Fu Ying had been talking to on the phone for so long, and she seemed quite happy. Fu Ying told Fu Yu directly what had happened, and Fu Yu was also happy, as this was a good thing to do.

This problem was solved perfectly, and she felt relieved. All she had left in the remaining time was to prepare for the college entrance examination.

For high school students, there are endless test papers to complete and endless knowledge points to memorize.

Fu Ying is actually very happy to be able to return to Gumang Middle School to study. Although she has to help with some housework, she can devote herself to studying to the greatest extent and has her own room and desk.

If you live in Guangdong Province, you have to live on campus during the week. The atmosphere in the dormitory may not be good, your roommates will often disturb your studies, and you have to help with a lot of things at home when you go home on weekends.

People at work have high anger levels. In Fu Ma's eyes, all she sees are the untidy cleaning and unwashed clothes. Arguing can easily lead to quarrels and affect her mood.

More importantly, if there is a part-time job, she can't help but do it.

She always wanted to be more independent and earn more money by doing part-time jobs so that she would have more confidence to get living expenses. This is a stubbornness that has been ingrained in her bones.

Back home, there were no part-time jobs and not many entertainment activities. Fu Yu would not let her do anything and would help her take on tasks from her second aunt, so she could persist in studying day after day.

Therefore, in her senior year of high school, Fu Ying refused all competitions and outings, unless they were attended by everyone in the class, such as the school sports meet, otherwise she would not go.

Of course, she had heard some classmates privately calling her a nerd, saying that she didn't care about friendship with her classmates and didn't give anyone face. Fu Ying ignored them and pretended not to hear them.

She really doesn't care much about friendship with classmates.

Fu Ying once thought that friends were very important, and she would go out whenever someone made an appointment with her. She also worried that she couldn’t see her friends and didn’t have enough time.

Later I realized that many relationships are not that important, and some people are destined to drift apart.

Fu Ying's life is different from many people.

Elementary school classmates, junior high school classmates, high school classmates, work friends, all are not the same group of people.

Sometimes Fu Ying was like an indifferent bystander, watching them appear in her life, good or bad, and then return to being alone.

She also had a few very good friends whom she had known for many years and they could chat occasionally, but there was more of a sense of alienation due to time and distance.

This is also the reason why Fu Ying gets along better with her family after her rebirth, but she doesn't care so much about family affection.

I have tried to please but failed, and I have also tried to please and be well behaved in order to gain attention, but I have learned to accept myself.

During the Chinese New Year in her senior year of high school, Fu Ying was even more hands-off. If she was not called upon, she would just study.

The enthusiasm for learning made Fu's parents happy and relieved. People in the village asked her if she could be admitted to a university in the capital, and Fu Ying smiled and said it was not that difficult.

Whether she can pass the exam is not something she can say for herself. She will know after the college entrance examination results are released. Then the real evidence will be available for everyone to see.

In the last half year of senior year, several of my classmates' families had some knowledge of education, so they arranged for them to take the junior college entrance examination and were admitted in advance, so there were a few fewer people in the class.

After May Day, all senior high school students in the city had a joint examination. It was unrealistic for tens of thousands of students to change examination rooms, so the invigilator was changed. I don’t know which school the invigilator came, but he looked quite serious.

The result of this joint examination was almost equal to the result of the college entrance examination. Everyone was very nervous. Fu Ying did not hide her shortcomings and tried her best to seize the last minute to fill in the gaps.

Fortunately, the results did not disappoint her. She ranked fifth in the city and second in the county.

Therefore, she hasn't taken the college entrance examination yet, but everyone has confidence in her. One subject teacher even claimed that she will definitely be able to be admitted to the two universities in the capital.

Following the calls from the schools after the independent enrollment, Fu Yu received calls from several universities, wanting to enroll her there after the college entrance examination.

Fu Yu sought Fu Ying's opinion and rejected those teachers and schools, saying that he would make a decision after the college entrance examination and the results came out.

The college entrance examination is approaching, and Fu Yu is even more nervous than her. She doesn't even allow children to disturb her studies.

Fu Ying did not refuse. When she was tired, she would move around, do some exercises, and hug the children. When she was not tired, she would continue to write the test paper.

The examination venues for the college entrance examination were announced. Most students went to the county to take the examination, and only a few students were lucky enough to stay in the school. Fu Ying's examination venue was unexpectedly assigned to the school.

But it’s also good, like a complete circle. The entrance examination starts in Gumang, and the final examination, the college entrance examination, ends in Gumang.

During the days of the college entrance examination, apart from having to check things carefully and facing unfamiliar candidates and teachers, Fu Ying actually didn't feel much.

This is the influence of the tactic of doing a lot of questions. The muscle memory of doing a lot of questions means that you can fill in your name immediately after getting the test paper and start answering questions without wasting a single second.

After three days of exams, Fu Ying walked out of the examination room and suddenly realized that high school was over.

The most important and longest-lasting goal since my rebirth was suddenly accomplished.

The results are still to come, but Fu Ying has already calmed down.

Fu Ying did not go out after the exam. Those classmates whose families were better off made plans to go out for fun in the city or provincial capital after the exam. Those whose families were average were already getting summer jobs on the third day after the exam.

Fu Ying did not go to work during the summer vacation. Fu Yu’s express delivery station finally chose a location and was ready to be renovated.

In fact, the decoration was not too troublesome, but Fu Ying wanted to get it done in one go, so that when Fu Ying was not in Gumang later, Fu Yu would be able to solve it.

During the two months before her college entrance examination, Fu Yu was too nervous, so Fu Ying simply asked her to ask about renting a shop. The location should be preferably near the Xinhua Bookstore and Gumang Middle School, which would be convenient for students to pick up express deliveries and also for people who came to the market to pick up the items.

Fu Yu asked the in-laws of Tuogui's eldest daughter, and found two suitable ones. Fu Ying took the time to accompany Fu Yu to take a closer look.

One is opposite Xinhua Bookstore, in a good location, the shop is not big, but the rent is a bit expensive. Another one is opposite the middle school, closer to Fu's house, the two storefronts are connected, so it is a bit more expensive than the first one.

Considering that this is a town, people from the villages below only come here for the market, so the express deliveries will definitely be delayed for a longer time, and there will be more during festivals, so a bigger one is better, and it will also be easier to operate if it is split into two shops in the future.

There is a small yard in front of the big shop, where express trucks can park and unload goods, and even if there are many people queuing, it will not affect pedestrians on the road.

Fu Ying and her husband decided on the second one.

After the college entrance examination, Fu Ying happened to have some free time, so she accompanied Fu Yu to talk to the landlord.

Fu Ying wanted Fu Yu to rent the house for ten years, but there was no such thing as a contract in the countryside, nor a lease for such a long period. Finally, under Fu Ying's strong request, they signed a contract for a five-year lease.

Fu Ying also carefully found a contract to print out, clearly stating that the rent would fluctuate with the market price, that the landlord had to give three months' notice of not renting the property, and that the landlord had the right to renew the contract first when the rent expired.

When the landlord heard that Fu Ying was a top student in the senior year of high school, he kept praising her for being different. Fu Ying just smiled and let Fu Yu communicate.

This was when post stations were becoming popular in big cities, so Fu Ying asked Fu Yu to apply for a post station, which basically accepted all express deliveries. When the requirements became stricter in the future, she would choose one that was more suitable for the local situation from the three express delivery companies. Fu Ying saw that there were many shops with two signs, and she would make changes later depending on the situation.

The capital for opening the business was raised from Fu Yu's own pocket money, Fu Ying's loan of all her savings of 5,000 yuan to her, and the money borrowed from Fu's mother.

Fu Yu wanted to ask relatives for help, and after discussing it with Fu Ying, they both felt that it was not a good idea to ask relatives instead of parents. In the end, Fu's mother also borrowed 5,000 yuan.

The start-up capital is there, and it depends on how much to continue investing in the future.

Fu Ying asked Fu Yu to apply for the business license and fire equipment certification herself. After all, she is the boss, so she should be allowed to grow.

After the college entrance examination, Fu Ying helped take care of the children and checked the progress of the renovation. Because it was an express delivery station, the decoration just involved painting the walls white and mainly assembling the shelves. She asked a relative to help assemble the angle steel racks, which were then placed according to the express delivery points that Fu Ying was familiar with.

In fact, there is a long thick wooden table in the front, which is convenient for picking up parcels. The computer is also ready to be moved in. In the middle are three rows of express racks. There is a room inside to put a stove in preparation for winter. The room next to it is ready to put large items and those that have not been put into storage. When needed, they can be arranged according to the shelves here.

The express delivery station hasn't been fully opened yet, but the couriers preparing for the opening have bought a bunch of supplies, such as markers, tapes, packing bags, etc.

Fu Yu contacted a familiar van to pick up the goods, and moved a lot of things, big and small.

It is said that this man driving the van has some relationship with the Fu family and calls Fu Yu "Auntie". Fu Yu has always been a kind person and always gives her the money she deserves, so he is also willing to cooperate.

So they agreed that when there was no market day, he would help pick up the express deliveries, and when there was market day, he would drive the bus himself.

Because it costs extra to pick up express at Fu Yu's post, Fu Yu only adds two yuan to each express, one yuan is the storage fee, and one yuan is the fee for helping to pick up the item.

It sounds expensive, but it's actually a very fair price.

In Fu Ying's memory, the express delivery points here were very shady in the first two years after they opened. They charged an extra five yuan for each express delivery. Later, when competition grew, the price was reduced to three yuan. Only after the express delivery industry was legalized and strictly enforced did they stop charging extra money.

This pricing is more in line with the current situation. Firstly, there are not many express deliveries, and the stations in the county do not deliver to the town, so the cost goes up. Secondly, Fu Yu is doing business after all, and not being a black-hearted businessman is his bottom line, but he does not do good deeds casually.

At this point, in addition to being able to pick up packages at the Rural Credit Cooperative, Fu Yu’s post station can also receive and send express deliveries.

When they first heard about the express delivery station, the villagers said that it was all good. They thought that Fu Yu just needed to take good care of the children and not do anything else. Some also thought that it was a waste of money for Fu Yu to rent this shop.

Fu Ying and Fu Yu have calculated that they will definitely lose a lot of money in the first year, but once everyone accepts the existence and convenience of express delivery, the profits will gradually increase.

Fu Ying's original intention was to give Fu Yu something to do on her own, so that she wouldn't have to farm and work like in her previous life. She worked hard to make money and was exhausted, but was not recognized. It seemed like she was just sitting around doing nothing at home and taking care of the children was useless.

If the courier business is doing well, she can earn some money, have a regular job, and have funds flowing. She will not be confined to being a housewife and can better demonstrate her own value. The main thing is that Fu Ying believes that Fu Yu will be able to do a good job and bring new life to the new year.
