Rebirth of a Fat Girl's Youth Diary

  Gu Xiang went home and tried on the school uniform. The current school uniforms are still for summer, with white short sleeves on top and a full black skirt that reaches the knees.

  The annoying thing is that the short sleeves are just right, but the waist of the skirt has a zipper. She zipped it halfway and got stuck.

  The joy of losing weight was swept away during the day.

  Gu's mother saw it and helped her take apart the skirt overnight, put elastic on the waist, and changed it to an adjustable one.

  Gu Xiang saw that her waist had become like autumn pants, and pinched her own flesh, feeling that she really needed to put weight loss on the agenda.

  When she was in the circle before, she almost never ate carbohydrates.

  But now her aunt hasn't arrived yet, and she's also afraid that losing weight is bad for her body.

  I can only try not to drink beverages and eat fried foods as little as possible.

  Fortunately, there was no time to grieve for too long. After all, the first day of school was a big cleanup and experience, and they were busy all day.

  After trying on the altered skirt and taking a bath, Gu Xiang sat in the living room blowing an electric fan while watching TV, her eyelids kept falling.

  Her mother saw her like this and took out a hair dryer to help her dry her hair, letting her hurry up and sleep.

  The next day, Gu Xiang saw that Lin Jiahuan and Tang Lulu's clothes were so big they looked like they were hanging on a clothes rack. The wind blew and they swayed straight away.

  Also feel a bit moved by yesterday's events.

  Before going out, they went to the toilet first. Lin Jiahuan pinched the wide hem of her clothes and said: "This is done, this dress is as big as a cheongsam."

  Tang Lulu also looked annoyed: "Don't mention it, I'm about to drop this skirt."

  Lin Jiahuan lifted up her clothes and said: "I have a belt tied around my skirt."

  Gu Xiang, who was watching from the side, quickly helped her pull down her clothes, so she wouldn't walk away with them still up.

  Tang Luolu also lifted her skirt and stretched out her hand to hold up the waist of her skirt for them to see: "I'm also wearing it, but it's still big."

  Everyone's painting style suddenly became very bold and uninhibited.

  "Gu Xiang, is your skirt big?" Lin Jiahuan asked.

  Gu Xiang quietly pulled open the waist of her skirt. The elastic band had pinched the fat on her waist into red, swollen lumps... How embarrassing.

  Gu Xiang said: "Otherwise, you bring your school uniforms tomorrow and I'll take them back to modify them for you?"

  "Changing school uniforms? Nothing will happen, right?" Li Hui looked at them with some concern from the side.

  Lin Jiahuan's tone was quite sharp: "What could be wrong? You're wearing the right clothes and standing up to talk without hurting your waist."

  Yesterday, Tang Lulu and Lin Jiahuan helped Gu Xiang and Zhao Lei move the couch, they all took XL sizes.

  Li Wei was registered before Gu Xiang, and when they quarreled, she had already chosen the code.

  This is indeed a bit out of place.

  Lin Jiahuan used to dislike Tang Lulu, thinking she was both arrogant and aloof.

  But after spending these two days together, with Gu Xiang mediating in between, I think Tang Lulu is actually quite a decent person.

  It's Li Wei who is being coy and not giving it her all.

  Gu Xiang pulled Lin Jiahuan and said to Li Wei, "It's okay, we won't make big changes either. We can just alter the waist of the skirt a bit, and there's still an upper garment on top that covers it up anyway."

  After the national flag was raised, the principal stood on the stage with a beer belly and gave a speech. It was similar to what Jiang teacher did in yesterday's class meeting, and again fed everyone with more than ten minutes of chicken soup for the soul.

  "The second broadcast exercise 'Vitality of Youth' is now starting..."

  Because they hadn't learned yet in their first year, they stood aside and watched the second and third years jump.

  Lin Jiahuan stood beside him, tiptoeing and laughing with glee.

  When leaving the scene, Lin Jiahuan held onto Gu Xiang's arm and whispered to her: "I think Li Wei is quite boring."

  Gu Xiang didn't know what to say to comfort her. A 13 or 14-year-old girl, making friends based on personal likes and dislikes, said: "She's a relatively introverted person, but actually she's not bad."

  But anyway, if they continued talking like this, Lin Jiahuan estimated that she would also say that she "wasn't in the mood".

  The first lesson was Mr. Jiang's math class.

  They had just finished their exercise and everyone's freshness hadn't faded yet. The classroom was in an uproar, even the bell for class couldn't be heard.

  It wasn't until Teacher Jiang came over that the chatter in the classroom died down a bit.

  Mr. Jiang smiled and said: "What are you all saying? It's so lively?"

  Several mischievous boys immediately spoke louder.

  Mr. Jiang listened with a pleased expression for a while, then said: "Everyone's enthusiasm is still quite high, okay, Wang Xinghuo, Fei Le, Zhang Wei, Wu Kang, stand behind the classroom for me. Other classmates, open your textbooks, today we're going to talk about rational and irrational numbers."

  Why can't these boys understand that Teacher Jiang is actually the most difficult teacher to deal with?

  Don't think Mr. Jiang is easy to talk to just because he always has a smile on his face!

  As expected, the classroom discipline is flawless from then on.

  The first lesson was relatively simple, but Gu Xiang didn't dare to be careless. She copied down all the example questions that Teacher Jiang wrote on the blackboard.

  Mr. Jiang likes in-class interaction, he lets students speak freely when it's their turn, and they don't need to raise their hands.

  So I won't be like Teacher Wang who always scolds people for answering questions. The classroom atmosphere is very relaxed.

  But thinking of Mr. Jiang's mood swings over the past two days, no one dared to make small jokes.

  There was still an English class in the morning, and Gu Xiang went to Wang's place ahead of time to see if there was anything to take.

  Thinking of yesterday when some classmates were punished to copy texts, Gu Xiang went to those classmates first.

  Although Teacher Wang didn't let her collect it, having her pass it on is still better than letting those classmates hand it in personally.

  Everything was going smoothly until I got to the last person, and that girl was turning around talking to the people at the back table.

  Gu Xiang remembered her name was Feng Rong, so she called out to her.

  Feng Cai turned back impatiently and asked: "What's wrong?"

  Gu Xiang waved the paper in her hand: "Yesterday's copied lesson, I'll collect it."

  Feng Cai angrily said: "The teacher told you to stop, what's with this 'using the tiger's might to intimidate' nonsense!"

  Good intentions pave the way to hell.

  Gu Xiang took the received lesson to the office.

  Teacher Wang is not the class teacher, and his office is in another building.

  When Gu Xiang shouted "Report!", she was busy revising something with her head down.

  Gu Xiang took a look and it seemed to be the second-year junior high school English test. It turned out that Teacher Wang was still teaching second-year students.

  Gu Xiang handed the collected homework to Teacher Wang, who didn't even flip through it and said: "Next time just keep it, whoever hasn't handed it in tell me." Then he handed a stack of white paper to Gu Xiang: "Today's class will be copying last lesson's phrases and vocabulary. You go back during recess and tell them. Whoever got it wrong will have to copy it 50 times."

  Then Teacher Wang handed her another copy of Class 1's name list: "From now on, except for the test papers which I'll collect, you collect everything else yourself, just remember to register."

  This is really a big concession.

  Gu Xiang went back and told everyone what they had to memorize, the whole class immediately erupted in a chorus of wails. But there was no way out, they could only obediently open their books and start reciting.

  Gu Xiang even took out a pen and began writing while reciting silently.

  Yesterday, the teacher didn't assign any homework. Gu Xiang recited all the content of English and Chinese lessons, but it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any omissions.

  Teacher Wang gave her so much power, if she still can't learn well, it would be a joke.

  Teacher Wang walked in with the ringing of the bell, and the class was extremely quiet.

  Teacher Wang didn't say much and directly handed down the white paper on the podium to Gu Xiang, starting to write quietly.

  Lin Jiahuan didn't read last night and stuttered a lot.

  She sat on the left side of Gu Xiang, and Gu Xiang put his left hand down, giving her several glances.

  After finishing writing on the blackboard, Mr. Wang corrected the papers on the podium and asked them to read the words of Lesson 2 according to the phonetic notation.

  In just a few minutes, Teacher Wang had finished grading and announced that anyone who got one wrong would have to write it out fifty times as punishment.

  Lin Jiahuan took out a 100-point dictation paper and patted his chest, saying: "Gu Xiang, fortunately there's you."

  Gu Xiang said: "Teacher Wang is still teaching in class, I really can't help you with this, you'd better pay attention."

  Teacher Wang asked before starting the lesson: "Yesterday's copying punishment, is there anyone who hasn't handed it in yet?"

  Only Feng Rong stood up and went to the podium to hand it in for the whole class.

  Originally, everyone had almost forgotten about this matter yesterday, and many were fined, so they couldn't remember who was who.

  This time he really remembered her.

  Although Teacher Wang didn't say anything else, Feng Cai's face still turned bright red.

  Lin Jiahuan said with a mixture of joy and misfortune: "Pull it, serve you right."

  The English class is still maintaining a high-intensity and fast-paced mode.

  Teacher Wang occasionally picks someone to read the lesson, after finishing, gives a few minutes for everyone to read again, and then asks everyone to recite.

  A class of 52 students can have 30-40 absentees.

  Gu Xiang was lucky enough to be picked to read the lesson text.

  Lin Jiahuan and Li Wei were drawn into the book.

  Lin Jiahuan's stammering barely passed.

  Li Wei's backing is quite smooth, but the voice is too small.

  Teacher Wang emphasized beside her: "English listening, speaking, reading and writing are all very important, don't be shy at all." Then she asked her to speak louder and recite that passage again.

  Li Wei's face turned red with effort before she barely met Coach Wang's loud standards.

  After class, Wang teacher specially called Gu Xiang over and asked if she had ever invited foreign tutors.

  Gu Xiang was bewildered.

  Teacher Wang said: "I just heard you read the lesson, your reading is quite good, but there's a bit of a Los Angeles accent."

  The leader who brought her into the industry was indeed an ABC born in LA.

  Gu Xiang could only admit it then.

  Teacher Wang also said: "You will have an oral exam later, and you are definitely at an advantage. However, some things are too much or too little, and we still need to grasp them."

  Gu Xiang nodded repeatedly.

  Lin Jiahuan's uncle sent over his meal card during the morning class break.

  At noon when they had lunch, the four of them went to the staff canteen together.

  Gu Xiang doesn't remember what the middle school cafeteria looked like, but it's definitely not as good as this place.

  One meat dish, one half-meat dish, one vegetarian dish plus a serving of rice, the standard set is only 5 yuan. And the portion is quite generous.

  Gu Xiang, Tang Lulu and Li Wei each put in 100 yuan.

  A few people ordered almost the same dishes. Gu Xiang ordered a chicken leg, green pepper with meat shreds and a dish of greens. The four of them enjoyed their meal very much.

  After finishing eating, Gu Xiang glanced at everyone's plates... and indeed she still ate the most! =_,=

  Her mother also sent her a text message asking how she was eating. Obviously, she didn't trust her rhythm.

  Yesterday, Teacher Jiang said in class meeting that school doesn't allow bringing mobile phones. But actually, many people secretly bring them.

  Seeing Gu Xiang take out her phone to read a message, Lin Jiahuan found it strange: "The school uniform skirt doesn't have pockets, where did you put your phone?"

  Gu Xiang replied to her mom's message and casually said, "When my mom altered the skirt for me, she sewed a small inner pocket in it to hold my phone and some loose change."

  Tang Lulu also brought her mobile phone and said, "This is good. I just think it's not safe to put my mobile phone in the classroom. My dad insisted that I bring it. This bag can be used when you go to the toilet later."

  Although she was being vague, Gu Xiang still understood what she meant.

  At this age, little girls are still shy about their periods.

  Gu Xiang said: "Then I'll also ask my mom to sew one for you."

  They both agreed.

  Since we both knew each other had mobile phones, we exchanged our phone numbers.

  Li Wei didn't bring it because his family is very strict.

  They finished their meal and came out, while there were still many people queuing up at the student cafeteria next door.

  Gu Xiang pulled Lin Jiahuan to the small grocery store to buy water.

  She bought a bottle of mineral water for herself and a bottle of Oolong milk tea for Lin Jiahuan.

  "You're so generous?" Lin Jiahuan smiled and accepted it with a smile.

  Gu Xiang said: "I'll often invite you for a drink from now on."

  Gu's mom said Lin Jiahuan helped her with the meal card, so she should take good care of him.

  She handed over fifty yuan to Gu Xiang and asked her to buy something for them.

  But if you buy too many things, it seems that friendship becomes tasteless. Moreover, they are still young now, and doing so utilitarian is not good.

  Gu Xiang decided to often invite Lin Jia Huan out for drinks and such.

  Lin Jiahuan was also polite, holding a drink in one hand and holding Gu Xiang's arm with the other, saying: "You're really getting better and better, you used to get angry with me and ignore me when we were in elementary school. Now it's really great!"

  I didn't think of the meal card at all.

  The afternoon classes were all electives and passed relatively quickly.

  The last class before school dismissal is a self-study class except for Monday which is a class meeting.

  Zhao Lei voluntarily sat on the podium to maintain discipline.

  The school has started assigning homework today, so everyone is busy writing their assignments and discipline is also relatively good.

  Mr. Jiang came over once at the beginning of class and didn't come again until just before school let out.

  Just like in Powerpuff Girls, another peaceful day has passed in this small town.
