Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

After looking at the honor roll, Zhou Min returned to her dormitory feeling dejected, where her roommates were chatting again.

Upon seeing Zhou Min return, someone called out, "Zhou Min, you haven't finished telling me the story you were talking about the day before yesterday. Continue telling me."

“Yes, tell us, tell us!” the others chimed in.

Zhou Min's dormitory is a ten-person room. Because her junior high school was in the town, there were relatively few students living on campus.

Besides Zhou Min, there is another girl named He Jie in this dormitory from the experimental class.

He Jie is a very hardworking girl. Except for going to sleep after lights out, she usually doesn't go back to the dormitory. Sometimes she even studies in the classroom all night.

The classroom for the experimental class is under curfew, but students are allowed to use it 24 hours a day.

The school made this arrangement in the hope of providing ample learning space for diligent students who love learning.

But they certainly didn't expect that this would lead to many students studying all night long.

For example, there's Li Liangcheng behind him, He Jie in the dormitory, and even his own deskmate Lin Xin.

These factors have led to poor health among many students; for example, Li Liangcheng's nose bled profusely.

Thinking of this, Zhou Min recalled the scene she witnessed when she picked up an eraser that had rolled under Li Liangcheng's desk: red nosebleeds and black snot.

The more she thought about it, the more disgusted she became. This was one of the reasons why Zhou Min later disliked people with poor health; she always felt they were disgusting.

"Hurry up and tell us, we can't wait any longer," my roommate urged again.

Girls of this age are very interested in romance novels, but not everyone can sit still and read so many words.

Zhou Min speaks in a lively and humorous way, and they all enjoy listening to her retell stories to them.

But it's clear that Zhou Min has absolutely no interest in these things now.

Zhou Min said, "I don't want to talk about it anymore. I won't read novels anymore. I didn't do well on this exam, and now I've become a focus of the teachers' attention."

After thinking about it, Zhou Min's roommates realized that her grades weren't as outstanding as before, so they stopped bothering her to talk.

Zhou Min quickly continued to pack her things, and first sorted out all the reference books her uncle had sent and put them in her dormitory.

I plan to buy a few more notebooks tomorrow to reorganize all my notes, and then I can bring my old textbooks, exercises, and test papers home. I'll bring them back later when I need them for final review.

The 18 yuan I quietly scraped together included my living expenses for the week. I figured it was Wednesday, and after buying the notebook, it should be enough to last me for two more days, since prices were still quite cheap at this time of year.

The thought of money made Zhou Min's heart ache again. She remembered that after this exam, the school started awarding scholarships for the first time. The top five students each received 200 yuan, the sixth to tenth students each received 150 yuan, and the eleventh to twentieth students each received 100 yuan.

I remember that apart from this time, I always ranked eleventh or twelfth in every exam after that. I finally got ninth place once, but two people made a mistake in adding up my scores, so after the scores were recalculated, I was eleventh again.

One of these two people was Xu Lingyuan. I had also lost 10 points, but I gave up because it was Xu Lingyuan.

Looking back now, I realize how stupid I was. Even a penny is money, let alone 50 yuan. I absolutely couldn't let Xu Lingyuan get away with it.

Meanwhile, her good friend Li Na won a scholarship of 800 yuan through four exams in her third year of junior high school, becoming a little rich girl. In high school, because of her generous spending, she made many friends from well-off families.

Then he built up a lot of connections, and even after he went to a third-tier university and returned to his small county, he still managed to thrive thanks to his network of connections.

Because of Xu Lingyuan, Zhou Min's ranking in the third year of junior high school was generally around tenth. Although she performed well in the high school entrance examination, she was dragged down by politics and history, and just barely made it into the provincial key high school with a tuition waiver.

It's worth noting that although this high school is located in our county, it still attracts many students from other areas. There are only 1000 free places each year; aside from the first 1000, the fees for the rest are quite high.

Of course, these 1000 students are exempt from the school selection fee, but other fees are still charged. If their grades are even better, they can also be exempt from tuition, textbook fees, and living expenses. It is said that the top 100 students in the city will have all school fees waived and will also receive a scholarship of 5000 yuan.

The reason for this arrangement is that there is also a provincial key school in the city, and its college entrance examination pass rate happens to be slightly better than that of the county school. However, the main reason is that it has a better geographical environment, which attracts more outstanding students to go there.

Therefore, competition among schools is still very fierce in order to attract outstanding students.

Zhou Min doesn't want to go to a school in the city. Her biggest wish now is to attend a high school with all fees waived, and ideally, she can earn another 5000 yuan.

Although Zhou Min was very confident, she had never been a particularly meticulous child. The high school entrance exam was very easy, and she didn't have enough confidence to widen the score gap.

You have to understand that even though she got full marks in math, physics, chemistry, and English in her middle school entrance exam in her previous life, it still couldn't have helped her achieve a total score of 74 in politics and history. Politics and history alone put her in the top two thousand in the city, almost three thousandth.

The thought of money immediately energized Zhou Min. She was determined to do well on the high school entrance exam so that she could have a better high school experience.

You should know that Zhou's mother is a person who loves money more than anything. It's not that Zhou Min's family is poor, but Zhou's mother likes to save money. She gets angry as soon as you ask her for money.

In her words, only money can give her a full sense of security; when she has less money, she starts to panic.

This might be a consequence of Zhou's mother's business dealings when she was young. This is also one reason why Zhou Min's decision to give up a top provincial high school for a private one wasn't stopped—because all the fees were waived.

As a result, Zhou Min received very little pocket money during high school. He would often complain to Zhou Min about how hard he worked and how poor his family was, which made Zhou Min live a very frugal life.

When Zhou Min got married but didn't have a house, her mother suddenly gave her 10 yuan, leaving Zhou Min stunned. Wasn't the family short of money? Weren't they in debt?

Zhou Min, who has become accustomed to spending money lavishly, said that it is difficult for her to return to her previous frugal lifestyle.

As for Zhou's mother's fragile ego, Zhou Min said that it can be treated with more care.

In her past life, Zhou's mother was eventually cured by Zhou Min's extravagant spending. In the end, even Zhou's mother herself became extravagant, spending money even more than Zhou Min.

The next morning, Zhou Min went to the supermarket and bought seven notebooks for seven yuan. At that time, notebooks were thick, sturdy, and of very good quality, which was incomparable to the ten-yuan notebooks that would come later.

Back in the classroom, Zhou Min started copying notes from the first-year junior high textbook. Over the years, she had developed excellent skills in integrating information.

Zhou Min believed that once she finished compiling this set of materials, she would definitely save it and pass it on to her daughter in the future, hoping that she would become another top student.

Thinking of her daughter, Zhou Min recalled the messages Chen Sheng had sent her before her rebirth.

He knew he had rare blood type (Rh-negative) back in college, but he said he didn't mind.

After we got married, she said she wanted to have IVF for twins, but he said one was enough. When it came time to give birth, she wanted to get the antibody injection, but he said he was worried about the effects on her body and wouldn't let her. In the end, he said if she couldn't have children, she shouldn't have asked.

The more he thought about it, the more he hated Chen Sheng, and he decided that he would never have anything to do with him again for the rest of his life.
