After a simple rebirth

The old lady asked her again, "I remember you are from Yunnan Province, right?"

Fu Ying nodded. When she was in the first grade of junior high school, the old lady was her class teacher and she had asked her this question.

"Did your parents buy a house here and get the points to become a resident?"

"No, my parents are still thinking about going back to their hometown in the future." Fu's parents didn't know about the point-based household registration policy here. Not to mention whether the Fu family has the ability to buy a house here, Fu's parents have made up their minds to go back to their hometown, otherwise they wouldn't have always wanted to add a second floor.

"I remember you scored 450 this time, right? How much is your total score including the final exam score?"

"I calculated it, adding the final exam and physical education scores, it's 575." Fu Ying replied, she just calculated it.

"It's very difficult for you to go to high school on government funding with this score. In previous years, the number of students admitted to ordinary high schools on government funding was more than 600." The old lady sighed slightly.

Fu Ying was stunned, and suddenly remembered a similar scene many years ago. When she first transferred here, the old lady said that buying a house here would earn points for household registration. At that time, Fu Ying thought it was just a normal conversation between the teacher and the new student's family situation. Now thinking about it, it seems that the teacher also had a deeper meaning.

It turns out that everything has a traceable path, whether it is the teacher's inquiries or the classmates' successive transfers, but it also seems to be a bit destined, and one must experience it to understand the deep meaning contained in it.

"It's difficult for me to get into a local high school. My parents should let me go back to my hometown to attend high school. If that doesn't work, I can take the entrance exam for a technical secondary school here." Fu Ying came to her senses and answered the old lady.

"You can go to a technical secondary school. With your score, you can choose a good school and major."

The old lady also nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Fu Ying returned to her seat and continued to review math. She had a hunch that functions were very important and would probably be tested in the high school entrance exam. But she had no recollection of whether it was tested, what the questions were, or even which high school she went to for the exam!

When they got home to eat, Fu Ying wanted to talk to her father, but Fu Zhe spoke first.

"Dad, I'm in the top ten in my grade. Do I get a 20-point reward?"

Fu's father was a little surprised that Fu Zhe could actually get into the top ten in the grade, not the top ten in the class. It must be even harder to get into the top ten in the grade. This is the first time he has such a good result! Just as he was about to speak, Fu's mother spoke.

"I'll give you ten dollars if you make it into the top ten. I also gave you ten dollars the last time you made it into the top ten!"

"I'm in the top ten in the grade, and last time I was in the top ten in the class. It's even harder to pass the exam, I must be in 20th! I'm third in the class this time!" Little Heitan was excited and of course he wanted to double the reward.

Mother Fu wanted to bargain, but Father Fu stopped her.

"Okay, give him 20 points as a reward. It's rare for him to do so well in the exam."

Fu's mother got excited and said, "The money falls from the sky. You give out so much as a reward for no reason!" She cursed but still took out the money.

When Fu Ying saw Fu's mother taking out money, she quickly spoke up.

"I also got a reward, I got third in the class and third in the grade!"

Fu Ma really wanted to curse. With this additional reward, a day’s salary would be almost gone in a flash. There’s no point in passing it!

Father Fu was also hesitant. His second daughter had always done very well in school and he had said he would not give her a reward, but she did not ask. But today she suddenly asked for it and she did so well in the exam. He was afraid that his daughter would be unhappy if he did not give her a reward.

"We took the ninth grade exam together for the whole district, and I ranked 99th." Fu Ying didn't want to say this specifically, for fear that her parents would be disappointed about her college entrance exam because the higher her expectations were, the greater the disappointment. But the charm of small amounts of money was still worth using to stimulate her parents.

"Here, you did so well in the district exam, and your dad was so kind to say he would give it to you, so I'll give you 20 too!"

Fu's mother hit Fu's father's arm. He always played the role of a good guy to make the children happy, but as soon as he asked for money, it was gone. At the end of the month, he would start sighing.

"It's so rare that Xiaoying also asked. She ranked among the top 100 in the district again, right? I'll give you one, and I'll give you two." Dad Fu smiled apologetically to Mom Fu.

Fu Ying also happily took the small amount of money, happy!
