Rebirth of a Fat Girl's Youth Diary
Gu Xiang was stunned for a moment, then pretended he hadn't seen anything and returned to his own position.
Before long, Lin Jiahuan ran in with a patter of footsteps.
She got up late again in the morning, rode her bicycle flying, with a bag of pure milk on her mouth, and her hair was very messy.
Seeing the cake on the table, Lin Jiahuan immediately turned to Gu Xiang, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.
Tang Lulu also came with a bit of momentum.
Seeing her late, Gu Xiang thought with some guilt, but hopefully it wasn't because of her.
Tang Lulu saw the cake on the table and reacted, poking Gu Xiang and saying: "You've brought another delicious thing again?"
"It's not something delicious, it's just a pancake made by my grandma!"
Tang Lulu said: "Great! My grandmother can't even wrap dumplings, and during holidays we still have to eat frozen ones!"
Then during morning reading class, a smell of scallion pancakes wafted around Gu Xiang.
Tang Lulu is secretly eating biscuits.
The piece of cake for Li Wei was put together with Tang Lulu's by her.
Gu Xiang didn't explain anything, but Tang Lulu thought Gu Xiang had brought her an extra serving as an apology, and she ate the whole thing in one breath.
Gu Xiang thought Teacher Ren definitely knew, but didn't say anything.
Teachers seem to be more lenient towards girls who get good grades.
After class, Lin Jiahuan made a bitter face and complained to Gu Xiang: "I only ate half of my breakfast! It's all cold now!"
She sat on the edge of the stage, but didn't dare to sneak a bite!
Gu Xiang endured her smile and said: "If you like it, I'll bring more for you tomorrow. Come a bit earlier tomorrow."
Gu Xiang also brought a pack of five pieces of chewing gum.
In the morning, she and her mother-in-law had eaten leek pancakes, each eating a piece.
She gave one piece each to Tang Lulu and Lin Jiahuan, and after thinking for a moment, she put the remaining piece back.
In self-study class, Teacher Jiang announced that they would go on an autumn outing next Friday.
The autumn outing destination is Zhuhai Park, 35 yuan per person, and it's not far away. It takes less than an hour by car from school, but everyone is still excited!
What a wonderful day off from school!
And it's scheduled on Friday, and after the autumn outing, it will be the weekend, which is equivalent to a three-day holiday!
After knowing this news, the atmosphere in the class became lively.
In the following days, everyone was discussing this matter.
Lian Gu Xiang Du was secretly looking forward to it.
Gu's mom knew she was going on an autumn outing, so she thought about buying her a fashionable backpack.
Gu Xiang thought it was fine to just carry her backpack, which she had replaced in the second semester of sixth grade and wasn't really old, except that the bottom edge had gotten a bit fuzzy from rubbing against the desk.
Her mother asked her if she wanted a fluorescent green waterproof diagonal bag, which is now popular.
Gu Xiang doesn't want it, in her opinion, all the popular things now are too tacky.
She now buys things that are simpler and better, most of which are black, white, and gray and won't go out of style.
Her mother insisted on buying her a bag, saying it could be carried when going out in daily life.
Gu Xiang thought so too, now she goes to her grandmother's house to change and wash clothes, still carrying a school bag.
Gu's mom meant to buy a special step, it's not expensive, just over 100.
Gu Xiang reluctantly pulled her mom to the luggage area on Jiefang Road.
Gu Xiang chose a linen-colored canvas backpack with rice ears pendant, the boss knew Gu's mother, so he took one at 38 yuan.
Gu Xiang thought it was pretty good and happily put it on her back, admiring herself in front of the mirror.
Gu's mother thought it was a bad idea: "This dull gray is just like the old one. A little girl should wear bright colors!"
Gu Xiang said: "This is called Mori Girl style, it's popular now!"
It's just not popular now.
After having a goal in life, people's days pass much faster.
The day before the autumn outing, Gu's mother took Gu Xiang to the supermarket to buy food.
Although she also wants to eat snacks, but she is on a diet!
Gu Xiang hesitated and picked up a bucket of original flavor potato chips, a box of Miu Fu, and a can of skimmed milk.
Her mother also felt that she had been eating less snacks recently, so she thought about buying more and putting them at home to eat slowly.
Gu Xiang didn't dare challenge his own self-control either, so after buying a pack of sausages he moved on to the fruits and vegetables section.
Going on an autumn outing outside definitely means no meals, eating in scenic areas is really too expensive.
Gu Xiang thought it would be good if she brought some dishes and made a salad to take over.
Gu Xiang bought some strawberries, dragon fruit and lettuce.
There are several kinds of fruits that are not in season and are still not cheap.
Gu's mother saw her hesitating again and quickly helped her pick a few to weigh.
Gu's mother bought some more dishes, and when it was time to pay, over 200 yuan had disappeared.
It seems like every time I go to the supermarket, I end up spending at least 100 yuan before I can leave.
Her mother almost takes her to the supermarket every week.
Gu Xiang looked at the store's account book, her mother worked all year round without a break, getting up early and working late into the night, earning less than 3,000 yuan a month. During Chinese New Year, she might be able to earn around 6,000 yuan.
It's not rare in this third-tier small city, but it's absolutely not common either.
She had never cared about her family's financial situation before, but now that she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, her mother wouldn't tell her these things anyway.
After going back in the evening, Gu Xiang took salad dressing and mixed it with salad, the taste was quite good, she couldn't help but eat half a bowl. Then she packed it in a transparent lunch box.
Gu's mother saw that she didn't bring many things, was afraid she wouldn't eat enough, so she fried all the pork chops and chicken strips at home and filled a lunch box full for her.
The next day, Gu Xiang packed the food into her backpack and felt that it was quite full.
But when I got to school and saw other students' backpacks...
She just felt that her image was ruined.
Everyone's backpacks were bulging as if they were about to burst!
Lin Jiahuan saw that she had packed so little and proudly patted her backpack, saying: "I brought a lot of food, eat mine!"
The school bus departs at 8:30.
Because of what happened in the past two days, Gu Xiang voluntarily served Tang Lulu and Lin Jiahuan, and the four people went to sit in the last row.
Lin Jiahuan sat on the far left, then Gu Xiang, Tang Lulu, Lin Jiahuan.
But in the last row, it was particularly bumpy, and even Gu Xiang's grandmother, who was prone to carsickness, didn't recognize her.
Lin Jiahuan handed her tissues, dried plum and water.
Tang Lulu saw that her face was particularly pale, so she pinched her tiger's mouth. In a moment of carelessness, she used too much force and pinched the back of Gu Xiang's thick hand until it turned blue.
It's just that nobody dislikes her.
When they arrived at Bamboo Sea Park around 10 o'clock, Gu Xiang's legs were all soft when she got off the car.
A large group of students wearing school uniforms appeared in the park, and the atmosphere changed immediately.
Together with classmates including Gu Xiang, they had all been here several times before, but after getting off the bus, they still looked around for a long time.
The most abundant thing in Bamboo Sea Park is bamboo, a lush and vibrant expanse. The air is exceptionally fresh, and simply breathing it in makes one feel invigorated.
Gu Xiang finally got over the feeling of carsickness.
Lin Jiahuan said: "Every time I come here, it feels like we're filming 'Curse of the Golden Flower'."
Gu Xiang's eyes were fixed on the soft soil below the slope.
Although spring bamboo shoots taste the best, shouldn't there be some tender ones left? Otherwise, I'll dig some up to take home and stir-fry with dried meat.
But Jiang Laoshi, who was leading the group, clearly didn't give her a chance and directly led them to start walking in, passing by Jingzhao Temple and Mirror Lake along the way.
Because everyone was a local, they had all played there many times since childhood, and Teacher Jiang didn't explain anything to them. She just took them to the side of Mirror Lake to start their picnic.
Mr. Jiang said to gather at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and take everyone to climb the mountain. The time in between will be left for students to freely do their own activities.
After Mr. Jiang left, Zhao Lai added a few more words, in short, they were not allowed to run around everywhere.
Gu Xiang sat by the lake, blowing in the wind. The sun was especially good today, shining warmly on her body, and she didn't want to move anymore.
She found a good spot and spread out the disposable tablecloth she had brought along.
Four people happened to occupy one corner each.
After almost an hour of walking, everyone was quite tired.
Most of the students didn't care much and sat down on the floor with a thud.
Those who are slightly particular will bring their own newspaper, but in the whole class, only Gu Xiang brought a tablecloth.
Gu Xiang took out a box of salad, the sour water she vomited up this morning, and now eating something refreshing like this was just right.
Lin Jiahuan was originally eating potato chips, but after traveling, snacks didn't taste that good anymore.
Gu Xiang felt that she was staring at herself, so she took the initiative to eat separately from them. She had already made more food and also brought several pairs of disposable chopsticks.
Later, I simply spread out the box of fried pork chops and chicken rolls as well.
Pork chops and chicken strips are fried by Auntie Gu in the morning, still crispy, paired with salad to eat without feeling greasy.
Both things are quite popular, even Li Wei moved several times.
Tang Lulu's snacks are all relatively high-end, with several being imported ones that Gu Xiang has never seen before.
There was a vanilla cookie that tasted particularly good, and Gu Xiang devoured half of it without even using any effort.
Tang Lulu gave her all the cookies in the bag.
After lunch, classmates strolled around Mirror Lake in twos and threes, and saw the suspension bridge on the lake.
The rippling lake surface, suspension bridge connecting two pieces of land, the middle part hanging low are all soaked in water.
When the girls walked to the middle, the boys standing at both ends of the suspension bridge jumped vigorously, and the bridge began to shake violently, with water splashing up to their ankles.
Gu Xiang was also among them, holding onto the ropes on both sides of the bridge, and all the girls around her screamed, while a group of boys not far away burst out laughing.
Kuxu all wet, Gu Xiang ran to the place near the boys and jumped up with force! The suspension bridge shook even more violently, and even the relatively high places on the boys' side were splashed with a lot of water.
Even the boys were shocked and screamed along with them.
After seeing Gu Xiang's actions, all the girls in the class united and followed her lead...
As a result, many girls in the class had their pants wet up to their calves, and the boys' were wet up to their ankles.
A group of people laughed and played to their heart's content.
Later, Zhao Lai came over and saw it, and didn't allow them to play anymore. With a stern face, she watched as they one by one retreated from the suspension bridge.
It's actually just the class monitor overthinking things.
This suspension bridge is well-maintained, with brand new ropes and steel nails.
But fearing Zhao Le would report to Teacher Jiang, everyone else kept a distance from her.
Especially those class cadres who lead the way in playing truant, such as Gu Xiang and Chai Zi Yu, are particularly quick to slip away.
