After a simple rebirth

Fu Ying was also struggling with whether or not to pursue a master's degree because her future plans were awkward.

She started working directly. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in 18 and had been working for two years when the lockdown occurred. It was difficult to carry out her work, and it was difficult to teach children online.

If she were to study for a master's degree, which is usually a three-year program, then if classes were suspended in her graduation year, it would be more difficult to obtain graduation documents, and it would be even more difficult to find a job.

She also asked her family members. Fu's parents didn't quite understand, but they let her study as long as she could. The family could afford it, and Fu Yu also supported her studies.

In the long run, a higher degree is better. In addition, Fu Ying no longer has so much pressure to survive. She has achieved her goal of saving 100,000 yuan before graduation, and she has the confidence to continue her studies. In the end, she chose to pursue a master's degree.

Therefore, starting from the second semester of her junior year, Fu Ying began to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination in subject teaching (English).

The counselor said he would help her get an internal recommendation for graduate school, but she still chose to take the exam.

Fu Ying was very happy to have an exam to review more knowledge and increase motivation for learning.

The first test was in the first semester of the senior year, and the second test was in the second semester. There was winter break and Spring Festival in between, so Fu Ying stayed in Guangzhou. It was the first time she did not go home for the New Year.

Since she couldn’t live in the school, Fu Ying rented a one-bedroom house in a village in the city for 1,000 yuan a month.

This money is not wasted. I will be doing an internship in the second semester of my senior year, so this can be considered as advance preparation.

But she no longer works part-time, has not been to the amusement park for the time being, and basically will not go to the public account recording session.

As the official account grew, the company attracted several rounds of investment, the senior student’s voice was dispersed, and many things were no longer the same as they were at the beginning.

The radio station and official account are still there, but they are updated less frequently. The focus has shifted to paid consultation, one-on-one paid psychological consultation, and seemingly professional paid psychological counselor training classes.

Even the senior schoolmate is no longer gentle and confident, and is full of obedience and helplessness at work, not to mention the part-time anchors like Fu Ying under her.

What they need there are full-time anchors, and part-timers are only qualified to work in positions such as customer service and sales, so their wages will naturally be reduced.

Fu Ying felt that it was becoming more and more boring. After being excluded several times, she began to find excuses to shirk her duties and basically stopped going.

Fu Ying was not the only one like this. The senior sister was powerless. Fu Ying thanked the senior sister sincerely for her care over the years, said she wanted to prepare for postgraduate studies, and left forever.

After the house was settled, Fu Ying communicated with Fu's parents about the things they wanted to set up at the stall, paid the deposit and sent it back, and notified Fu Yu to pick up the goods.

But on the evening of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Fu Ying received a call from Fu Yu.

"Fu Ying, how much money do you have now? If you don't need it urgently, please transfer it to me first."

Fu Ying was shocked. Why would he suddenly need money?

"I should be able to turn around 4,000, what's wrong?"

Fu Yu should be outside, and he was talking loudly.

"My parents went to another town to set up a stall for the New Year. They came back after closing the stall at around 4 o'clock. When my father was driving a tricycle and passed the pine forest, he saw the car in front of him parked on the side of the road and it didn't seem to be moving. He wanted to speed up and overtake it. As a result, my father accelerated and the car also accelerated, so they hit it. The front windshield of the car was broken, and they asked my father to pay 5,000 yuan.

My parents and I just used our money to buy goods for the New Year stall. Now that the bank is closed, I can’t withdraw money, so I’m asking if you can get it out.”

Fu Ying...What kind of windshield costs 5,000 yuan? How come it’s a luxury car?

But Fu Ying was more concerned about the fact that things were not going in the right direction.

"That's not right. Let me think about it. Dad was overtaking the car with his tricycle. Did he hit the car with the front or the back? Are you sure that the car was parked on the side of the road?"

"It was hit from the rear end of a car. Dad wasn't sure whether the car was parked or driving slowly, but it hit me anyway."

"That's not right. You can't park on the roadside on that road. If he really parked, it would be illegal parking, and dad is not responsible. Even if he didn't park, and dad was overtaking normally when he was driving slowly, the main responsibility is not dad!"

"I don't really understand either. I just called Brother Wang Jun, and he also said that Dad should be held responsible for this situation."

"Sister, listen to me carefully."

Fu Ying called out to Fu Yu who was a little anxious.

"First of all, regardless of what the man said, based on my knowledge of traffic, he must have parked illegally, and what Dad did was normal overtaking.

Secondly, even if he did not stop and was driving slowly, it would take some time for his father's tricycle to overtake him, so he should have seen his father's car in the rearview mirror. Most people, when they see a car trying to overtake, would either speed up and not let it pass, or slow down or maintain speed to let the car pass first.

You think that if he honked his horn, Dad would definitely not overtake, but he didn't. Dad had already overtaken him by half a car's length before he accelerated. The car was going so fast, how could Dad drive in front of the car all of a sudden before being hit?

So the question is, it's not about dad overtaking, it's about him driving. What was he doing while parking or driving? Was he talking on the phone? You know, you can't look at your phone while driving.

Anyway, no matter how you look at it, he was more at fault. He took advantage of the fact that you don't understand much and asked you to pay him five thousand dollars. It's really funny.

Just call the police directly and ask the traffic police to check his dashcam. If he doesn't have a dashcam and refuses to admit it, then go to the traffic police brigade for mediation.

If the traffic police finally rules that dad is fully responsible and requires him to pay the 5,000, then we will accept it. But if not, then we cannot swallow this loss in silence.

Oh, remember to turn on the recording function on your phone, so if anything else happens, you’ll have one more piece of evidence.”

There was still noisy communication over there. Fu Yu said he understood and went to deal with it.

Fu Ying was no longer in the mood to study, so she first transferred 4,500 yuan from her Yu'e Bao account to Fu Yu. She put it there as a reserve and to earn some interest.

If it's not enough, you have to borrow from others first. It will take three days for the money to arrive in your account after selling the funds. You can borrow it first and then pay it back by withdrawing money from Fu Yu's bank card.

Fu Ying couldn't help but keep thinking about this matter, and even began to think about the worst outcome. The worst outcome was not losing money, but offending someone.

To be honest, the more backward a place is, the more it cares about whether there are people behind it. Some people use their connections to exploit the lower class people all day long. The Fu family is really just ordinary villagers and has no connections with the higher-ups.

However, this is the Internet age, and no one can cover up the truth with one hand. If she is really suppressed by her background, Fu Ying should consider finding a lawyer to appeal.

When it comes to appeal, it will be a protracted battle, and we still have to wait for communication from the other side.

This wait lasted for more than an hour, and Fu Yu finally called home to say that the problem had been solved.

Fu Ying also knew about the follow-up procedures.

The Fu family originally wanted to admit their loss and pay compensation, but after Fu Yu called, they refused to admit it and insisted on calling the police.

The driver had some connections, so he asked his friends to come and threaten Fu Yu. Fu Yu wanted to call the police, but Fu's father wanted to admit it and thought that calling the police was not a good thing. However, Fu Yu insisted, and since there were also many people at Fu's house, they were not afraid.

When the traffic police came and asked the reason, they asked the man why he didn't claim the insurance. The man said no, and when he wanted to retrieve the dash cam, it didn't exist.

The traffic police then inquired about the process in detail and asked the driver if he had played with his phone. The driver did not dare to admit that he had been playing with his phone while driving and could only say that it was dark and he could not see clearly.

In the end, it was determined that the driver was primarily responsible and Fu's father was secondarily responsible. The traffic police asked whether they wanted to settle the matter privately or go to the traffic police brigade for mediation. The driver immediately said he would settle it privately.

Seeing that Fu Yu was going to go to the traffic police brigade for mediation, and with the traffic police present, the driver agreed to the result and compensated Fu's father 500 yuan. Because some of the goods on the car were knocked down and the tricycle was not Fu's, the Fu family had to pay the money to Wang Jun.

After making sure that both parties agreed to the result, the traffic police took photos before leaving.

Then the Fu family returned home, and Fu Yu called Fu Ying.

Fu Ying felt relieved after hearing this.

Because of this, Fu Ying also asked Fu Yu to find time to learn how to drive. Although Fu Yu felt that she was too old, Fu Ying thought that it was better to have a driver's license. Another thing was to learn some traffic knowledge and understand the law.

This time, it was because they used money to find Fu Ying, and Fu Ying asked them to call the police, which avoided the loss. If they had not found Fu Ying, the Fu family would have inexplicably lost five thousand yuan.

By the way, Fu Ying doesn’t have a driver’s license yet. She can consider learning it when she has more free time after graduation.

Now that she had a rented house, Fu Ying moved most of her things in and studied in the dormitory all day.

The year begins with the postgraduate re-examination, followed by thesis and defense.

I occasionally stay in the school dormitory, which is close to the school library and convenient for eating in the cafeteria.

Fu Ying's graduate supervisor was not a translation teacher, but a listening teacher.

The listening teacher’s surname is Li. I heard that he was an English teacher in the affiliated junior high school at first, and was transferred to the university because of his excellent performance.

They had a lot of contact during the college years. She was straightforward and responsible, but not the kind of teacher who was too controlling. So Fu Ying felt that she would be good under her guidance, and it would not conflict with her studies if she did something else on her own.

In May, when taking graduation photos, Fu Ying also took photos with her roommates in a familiar place.

She was fine because she would continue her graduate studies in September, but the other three were a little reluctant to leave.

Gao Xin did not choose to pursue a master's degree, nor did she stay in Yangcheng. Instead, she went to Xingcheng to find a job in foreign trade. She heard that the benefits were quite good.

Chen Danhong did not pursue a master's degree either. She wanted to try it, but ultimately did not sign up. In her words,

Several of her younger brothers and sisters are still studying, and she doesn't want to spend so much money anymore. She is lucky to have graduated on time, and she doesn't have the energy to review for the postgraduate entrance examination. It is still more important to work and make money, but she said she hasn't found a suitable job yet.

Rong Xianjun chose to go back to her boyfriend's place. She didn't have a job yet and didn't want to do any of the jobs she found there. She continued to work as a voice assistant part-time and took a break for a while.

Fu Ying said goodbye to her roommates and got her driver's license while working part-time with Zhang Dian during the summer vacation. It would be more troublesome after working, so it would be better to get it as soon as possible.

Fu Ying's graduate student life was more peaceful. Her teachers knew her well and were easy to get along with.

In addition to studying, Fu Ying started teaching online. Just like she shared her self-study experience in her previous life, she shared with many people her experiences and precautions in taking the CET-4 and CET-6, the teaching qualification exams, and the postgraduate entrance exams.

Maybe not everyone can get good results like her, but it is undeniable that her videos have helped many people.

She has always shared for free, and put the materials she produced in the comment section, and recommended them to other bloggers if they found them suitable. She received a lot of praise and feedback.

Of course, there are people who take her information and share it for a fee, but this kind of thing cannot be stopped despite repeated bans. Fu Ying can only try her best to prevent people from wasting their money.

She didn't expect to make money from this, but many people gave her coins, and she received real benefits from it, from playback volume to rewards.

When she was in her third year of graduate school, she did not go home during the Spring Festival because she knew what would happen.

My hometown was very vigilant about such disturbances, and all those returning from other places were quarantined. Fu Ying asked her parents to go back early, and the situation became slightly better.

I also bought a lot of protective gear because my friend sells these and I wanted to support her business.

As for whether to give it to others or hide it for use, that is up to Fu's parents.

She stayed in the rented house and didn't go out. Zhang Dian stopped working. Zhang Dian cooked and studied, while Fu Ying took online classes.

There are not enough teachers in the school because the older teachers do not know how to use these teaching methods, so Fu Ying and other graduate students were asked to teach temporary classes.

She teaches English listening to freshmen. Fu Ying follows the course schedule and tries to incorporate extracurricular knowledge so that their children don't fall asleep while listening.

Although she always heard snoring, crying children, and cursing during games when someone accidentally opened the microphone...

With the experience of taking online courses, Fu Ying’s first formal offline job was actually teaching English listening.

Because her supervisor is preparing for his doctoral exams and sometimes has to take leave, he cannot teach so many classes.

The end result was that her supervisor failed to pass the doctoral exam, but she officially became a university lecturer.

To be honest, Fu Ying never thought that she might become a university teacher. Becoming a high school teacher was the reward for her hard work, and being a university teacher was a reward.

Zhang Dian and Fu Ying settled down in Guangzhou, Fu Ying lived in the east of the city and Zhang Dian lived in the west, but they lived together in the teachers' dormitory of Fu Ying's school.

After they settled down, the families of both sides urged them to get married.

Fu Ying had met Zhang Dian's family. It was his grandfather's 80th birthday, and Fu Ying brought gifts to celebrate. The old man decided that she was his grandson's wife and insisted on giving her a gold ring.

Fu Ying also accepted the old man's gift.

Zhang Dian also went home with Fu Ying, and Fu's parents had no objections. Fu Yu had helped brainwash them a long time ago. They also knew that their youngest daughter would not come back, and it was not bad to have a stable job and live outside.

So the engagement between the two parties was a natural outcome.

On the night of the engagement, Zhang Dian called Fu Ying for a midnight snack, and the two went out for a barbecue.

After ordering the dishes, Zhang Dian took a few bottles of beer. Fu Ying was surprised, because they usually had Coke with barbecue. Zhang Dian didn't like drinking and would easily blush when drinking, so the two of them hardly drank.

Fu Ying thought he was happy, but looking at his expression, it didn't look like that. When she asked him what was wrong, he didn't say anything.

He took a few sips of wine before eating the barbecue, as if he was going to get himself drunk.

Then he suddenly asked Fu Ying if she would get drunk. Fu Ying shook her head.

"You know I don't get drunk, at least I haven't been drunk before, and I don't get blackouts, at most I feel a little dizzy.

What, do you need to get me drunk before you can tell me something? Or if you want to ask me something, just tell me directly, I won’t hide it from you.”

He was like a silent man and didn't say a word until he was halfway through eating.

"I want to ask, if I didn't have that extra memory of us together, would you still agree to me?"

Fu Ying didn't expect him to ask this. She thought about it carefully, looked him in the eyes, and answered him with a smile.

"No need to ask what ifs, you know the answer, don't you!"

After saying that, Fu Ying ate and drank by herself.

if?

If Zhang Dian was only Zhang Dian in this life, it would be difficult for them to be together and it would be difficult for them to stay together for long.

Without those shared experiences, Zhang Dian would not be who he is now. Perhaps he would still be responsible, have a better job, treat her well, and support her ideas and work.

But it is different after all.

Fu Ying has always made it clear that she doesn't want to get married, nor does she have to find someone to spend her life with. It is because of Zhang Dian and their joint efforts over the years that she is willing to try to get married.

So if it weren't for Zhang Dian, she wouldn't have gotten married.

She would only choose Zhang Dian, it would always be him, but only him.
