Rebirth of a Fat Girl's Youth Diary

  Gu Xiang's mouth was always bitter because she drank Chinese medicine every morning and evening.

  But the exam is imminent, and meals must be eaten.

  She almost forced herself to eat.

  Then during class breaks, I would occasionally pop a dried plum into my mouth.

  Although she didn't say that she was taking medicine herself, the medicine had been simmering at home for several days in a row, and even her hair smelled of medicine.

  It's rare for several little friends not to be disgusted by her smell.

  During her period, Gu Xiang gets tired easily. At night, when she's doing her homework until around 10:30, she feels like her waist is going to break.

  Gu's mother bought longan and lotus seeds, and made her a bowl of eight-treasure congee for dinner. Knowing that Gu Xiang loved sweet things, she added nearly half a catty of sugar to the congee.

  Gu Xiang doesn't care if she'll get fat or not, studying is more important.

  But eating before bed is definitely unhealthy, so Gu Xiang eats a late-night snack at over 9 o'clock, and then continues to review after finishing eating. By the time she goes to sleep at half past ten, her stomach is just right, neither hungry nor full.

  Two days later, Gu's mother stroked Gu Xiang's face and said with a heartache: "Otherwise, you should go to bed early, look at how thin you've become, your chin is even pointed."

  Gu Xiang now gets up at 5:30 every morning, plays English tapes while brushing his teeth and washing his face for breakfast. Then he goes to school for a run in the morning and delays sleep by half an hour at night.

  Gu's mother thought to herself: she is now in her first year of high school, and it's already so late, what will happen in the future.

  Gu Xiang thought that now cultivating learning habits would ensure her efficiency was higher than others even when she got to high school.

  After listening to her mother's words, Gu Xiang couldn't help but take a look at herself in the mirror. Her chin seemed to be slightly pointed, and it was almost invisible.

  But she insisted on not going to weigh herself, and she was also afraid of being distracted. Last time's monthly exam didn't go well, so this time she gritted her teeth and worked harder.

  Of course, there are more than just Gu Xiang and Li Wei.

  Li Hui was originally thin, and in the past week or so, Gu Xiang felt that she had lost a lot of weight, her cheeks were sunken, and she had dark circles under her eyes.

  She doesn't think she's worked hard after this comparison.

  Tang Lulu, who has had her own study habits since primary school, was hardly affected by exams.

  Lin Jiahuan temporarily hugged Buddha's feet and also watched every night without wanting to stop.

  Everyone has heard that the mid-term exam will increase in difficulty, and the learning atmosphere in the class suddenly becomes tense. Even during recess, it's much quieter than usual.

  The mid-term exam is more formal than the monthly exam. Students are rearranged according to their student ID numbers and placed in different classes.

  Classmates all emptied their own desks, stuck others' student IDs in the top left corner. Then they went to other classes to find their own student IDs.

  Student ID is ranked according to junior high school entrance examination scores. Chai Zi Yu ranks first, Gu Xiang ranks second, and Zhao Lei ranks third.

  The three of them were arranged to take the exam in Class 10, which was the farthest away.

  Even in the same class, the positions of three people were arranged as far apart as ten million eight thousand miles.

  Gu Xiang is in the last row on the far left, Zhao Lei is in the first row of her group. Chai Zi Yu is in the last row on the far right.

  During the exam, there are two teachers invigilating in each examination room, and there are also patrolling teachers walking around, which can be seen from the school's emphasis on the mid-term exam.

  There were good and bad students in Class 10's exam, with a few from Class 2 next door, which Gu Xiang found familiar.

  But there were also leaders like Gu Xiang, and a few who lagged behind.

  But the discipline was particularly good, those with good grades would not cheat, and a few classmates who were very poor simply gave up, quickly finished writing after taking the paper, and then looked around or fell asleep on the table.

  It's just that no one dares to cheat.

  In the morning, I took exams in Chinese and math. Gu Xiang answered all questions smoothly until he reached the composition part of the Chinese exam, at which point he slowed down his pace and reviewed the question several times.

  After writing several drafts on draft paper, I finally chose a relatively moderate meaning.

  Not seeking to stand out, but striving not to be a drag on others!

  After finishing the exam in the morning, several people agreed to wait at the entrance of the cafeteria.

  Tang Lu and Li Wei couldn't see anything, while Lin Jia was happily spinning around.

  Gu Xiang jokingly said: "What's there to be so happy about? Did you pick up some money?"

  Lin Jiahuan smiled and said, "It's better than picking up money! Today's exam, I saw most of it! There was a big question in math, which is similar to one you wrote in your notes that I've done before!"

  "Then you must treat me to dinner today."

  Lin Jiahuan waved the meal card in his hand: "Swipe it casually, anyway it's my uncle's card!"

  This afternoon's exam is English, except for composition, it's probably the subject that Gu Xiang spends the most effort on.

  Who made her the English class representative?

  This time's English test is obviously harder than last time, even the dialogue in the listening section has a much faster speed.

  Gu Xiang's chances of getting a full score this time are not high.

  The scroll is passed from the back to the front.

  The invigilating teachers are waiting in the first row. After the papers are handed over, they will be counted by them and no one is allowed to leave until all the papers have been collected.

  When Gu Xiang was packing up her stationery, Zhao Lei suddenly ran over and asked her: "Gu Xiang, how did you do on your English exam?"

  Gu Xiang didn't understand why Zhao Lei suddenly came to ask her this either. Their relationship wasn't good enough for that.

  Zhao Lei asked again: "Are all the hearing results in front certain and correct?"

  "What's wrong?" Gu Xiang asked.

  Zhao Lei got a bit anxious: "Are you sure what you're saying is accurate?! When the test papers were just passed over, I saw that many of our answers were different!"

  If it were someone else, hearing two people having many different answers on their papers would definitely make them anxious.

  Gu Xiang wasn't in a hurry, she was quite confident, but didn't want to discourage Zhao Lei, so she just said: "The answers are okay, but definitely not all correct."

  Zhao Lei heard her say that and comforted herself a bit by saying: "I see there are five or six differences, one person making two mistakes is not a big deal."

  Everyone in the self-study class was busy checking their answers, and Gu Xiang's group was no exception.

  But thinking of Li Wei's change after their last match, Gu Xiang didn't really want to play against her.

  Tang Lulu also didn't make a sound.

  It wasn't until Li Wei took the initiative to take out the draft paper and say the answer that they brought out their own answers.

  The next three people who took the exam did pretty well.

  Math problems They have two or three fill-in-the-blank questions that are different, but because the material they're learning now is more complex, the questions are also longer, and even if they memorize them, they can't recite the questions word for word.

  So in the end, it's just a matter of one person being right and the other wrong, but who is right or wrong is unknown.

  When school was over and Gu's mother came to pick up Gu Xiang, she asked him how his exam went.

  Gu Xiang thought she did quite well on the exam.

  Her mother was also delighted and told her to go to bed early tonight.

  Gu Xiang also felt that he had been too tense in spirit for the past few days and it was time to relax.

  In the evening, Gu's father suddenly called her.

  Because it was a cell phone call, Gu Xiang directly answered it.

  Dad still coaxed her like a little kid, asking if she had time on the weekend and if she wanted to go see Grandma and Grandpa.

  He mentioned his grandparents, and Gu Xiang really had no reason to refuse.

  Gu Xiang told her mom she'd go out for a meal and come back in the afternoon.

  Gu's mother looked unwilling for Gu Xiang to go there, but she didn't say anything.

  Her father still drove Santana to pick her up.

  As soon as Dad saw Gu Xiang, he said: "How come YaYa has lost so much weight? Is studying too hard?"

  Gu Xiang was delighted when she heard this, and several aunties in the mall said she had lost weight.

  Gu Xiang asked her dad: "Do I look good after losing weight?"

  Dad Gu said: "Good-looking, my daughter will definitely be a little beauty when she grows up."

  The stepmother is at home and prepares lunch.

  Gu Xiang neither disliked nor liked her.

  That feeling is just slightly stronger than that of strangers.

  Her stepmother prepared two dishes with meat and two without, as well as a soup. She also went to the cooked food store to buy beef and salted chicken.

  A table full of dishes was laid out.

  Gu Xiang called out "Auntie" and was then pulled down beside her grandmother.

  "Look at you, you've become so thin! Is your mother not willing to buy you good food anymore?"

  Just now on the bus, Gu's dad was praising Xu Xiang "good-looking", but immediately betrayed and chimed in: "Exactly! The chin is pointed."

  Grandma added a lot of dishes for her, and Gu Xiang's bowl was full to the brim.

  "Eat more! Next time you want to eat something delicious, come to Grandma's place, and Grandma will give you money!"

  Grandma was so heartbroken for her that she almost cried while talking about it.

  Gu Xiang didn't want to upset the old man, nor did he dare to move out of that thin and good-looking house. He buried his head and ate a meal, eating two bowls of rice in one go.

  Grandma saw that she could eat and felt a bit better, complaining: "Your mom is so stingy! She's starved you to this state!" Then she glared at Dad and said: "It's all your fault for not fighting for Yaya back then. If Yaya had been with us, she wouldn't have suffered like this!"

  Her father was trained by her and nodded directly.

  Gu Xiang didn't like to hear her grandmother speak ill of her mother, so she explained: "I usually eat a lot too, but after entering junior high school, the studies became intense. I didn't do well on the monthly exams, and just before the mid-term exams, I wanted to do better, so every day I slept late and lost weight."

  Grandma also scolded her, saying: "Your dad said you ranked eighth in the class in the monthly exam. Don't be too competitive, little girl! Can you sleep late when you're growing up? You won't grow tall in the future!"

  Xiang promised herself again and again that she would definitely go to bed early from now on.

  After dinner, stepmother cleaned up the table, and Gu Xiang also thought of helping to clean up.

  Grandma peeled an orange for her and she ate it beside her, telling her a bit about recent events.

  Gu Xiang thought that her stepmother actually had no status in the family and hadn't said a word at the dinner table.

  Or rather, Grandma didn't even let her say a word.

  Grandma is really heartbroken this time, and I have to give her more money again.

  Gu Xiang naturally refused, saying that the last time he gave it was still unused.

  Grandma thought that maybe she had given her money, but Mom didn't let her use it. Even if she did give her some, it would be a waste. So when Dad was taking her home in the afternoon, he took her to the supermarket to buy some snacks.

  This Gu Xiang couldn't refuse.

  Gu Xiang stayed at her grandparents' place until three or four o'clock and accompanied them to watch two episodes of "My Fair Princess".

  Because she knew she had homework to write, the old man didn't stay for long either.

  When Gu's father sent her back, he took a detour to the largest chain supermarket in their area. Gu Xiang thought about buying some food, which wouldn't cost much money anyway.

  As a result, his dad went in and directly pushed a government car, and the milk was moved in three boxes. They were all freshly released and very expensive Telunsu.

  Gu's father still remembered that Gu Xiang liked vanilla flavor and also brought her a box of vanilla-flavored Nete.

  Look at her dad, this is the rhythm of emptying the supermarket. Gu Xiang hurriedly stopped him, but then Gu Dad brought out grandma again, saying that grandma wanted to see the supermarket receipt in a while.

  After a trip to the supermarket, her father spent over 600 yuan on food for her. The two of them left with their hands full.

  It wasn't until they left the supermarket that Gu Xiang suddenly realized, what's going on! Grandma can't read at all!
