Chapter 5: Turn on Learning Mode Without Distractions

  Rebirth of a Fat Girl's Youth Diary

  Mrs. Gu kept her word and didn't let Gu Xiang go out for the next few days. Moreover, she would secretly touch Gu Xiang's forehead in the middle of the night, fearing that she might suddenly develop a fever.

  After everyone heard about this matter, the aunt also specially bought some things for Gu Xiang and reminded her to be careful in the future, so as not to worry the adults.

  It turns out that Little Aunt is capable of being a good person after all.

  Two days later, Mr. Gu called and wanted Gu Xiang to go live with him for a while before school started.

  When Gu's mother handed the phone to Gu Xiang, her expression was somewhat reluctant.

  Gu Xiang picked up the phone, and on the other end of the line, her father said: "Ya Ya, there's only one more month before summer vacation ends. Do you want to come play at Dad's place? Dad will take you to eat KFC."

  KFC was still a relatively luxurious thing at that time, and there was only one in the whole county.

  Gu Xiang wasn't really in the mood for KFC, but her dad was being so nice and coaxing on the phone that she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

  She looked at Mrs. Gu pitifully, and Mrs. Gu whispered beside her: "What are you looking at me for? If you want to go, just go."

  Although that's what she said, Gu Xiang knew that her mother had a hard time getting over it. So Gu Xiang said: "Then I'll go in a few days and visit Grandpa and Grandma at the same time."

  Mr. Gu was very happy on the other end of the phone and laughed several times, asking Gu Xiang to call him when he arrived, and he would drive over to pick him up.

  Gu Xiang was afraid of Gu's mother getting angry, so after hanging up the phone, she was extra diligent and went to get a broom to sweep the floor.

  Gu's mother snatched the broom from her hand and said: "You go play your own."

  But what to play with, Gu Xiang didn't know either.

  Then she found the math test paper of the first year of junior high school to do.

  The first part of the book is about rational numbers and positive and negative numbers, which is relatively simple.

  She continued to fill in the blanks all the way. Her mother saw it and said, "Why don't you even flip through the book? Are you doing it blindly?"

  She lent Gu Xiang her first-year books, but when Gu Xiang did his homework, he put the books aside.

  Uh... Gu Xiang forgot that she only had an elementary school education, so she could only make something up: "This is relatively simple, Teacher Zheng has expanded on it for us." Then she pretended to flip through the book and read.

  Only then did Mrs. Gu believe it.

  Later on, when it came to math problems, Gu Xiang felt they were also quite simple.

  But after last night, she found the problem with the answer in hand.

  Her calculation ability is really too anxious. The speed is already very slow, and the accuracy rate is not high either.

  If it weren't for the short time spent on filling in the blanks at the beginning, she wouldn't be able to finish this practice test within the allotted time.

  Besides, this is just an easy in-class exercise.

  But Gu's mother was already very satisfied and said to her: "If you can finish previewing all the lessons for the first year of junior high school like this, and then listen to them again after class, you won't have to worry about it later."

  Among the three main subjects, Gu Xiang's worst subject is math. His single-subject score barely ranks in the top ten in the class.

  She was able to rank first in the whole school for the last time because she had a crash course in math before the exam. Math didn't hold her back this time.

  Gu Xiang apparently wasn't as optimistic as his mother.

  Although she has an impression of many things she has learned, math is still mostly calculation-based.

  Hua Road Middle School is a key middle school, and it's definitely going to make classmates do many expansion questions. These difficult questions may be beyond Gu Xiang's memory range, plus her embarrassing calculation ability.

  Thinking about possibly being outdone by a group of junior high school students in the future, Gu Xiang felt very annoyed.

  In the following days, Gu Xiang gathered all the scrolls in his home together.

  Not just first-year junior high school students, but also sixth-grade elementary school students who didn't come wrote papers.

  She specifically chose to write calculation questions inside. After doing some common calculations, she also did some simple calculations for Olympic math questions.

  Sometimes one question needs to be done for 10-20 minutes.

  Really can't think of doing it again against the answer and then giving myself questions, often unable to do similar types of questions need to sit for ten times.

  The store was bustling with people coming and going, and in the past, Old Master Xu often complained that he found it very hard to concentrate.

  But now after eating breakfast, I unfold the scroll and start writing. I write until lunchtime, take a one-hour nap, then continue writing.

  Dinner didn't write, but Gu Xiang wrote a volume all day, ate dinner and went home to wash up and sleep.

  Gu's mother was initially delighted, as Gu Xiang had never been so diligent in her six years of studying before.

  But this happiness didn't last for a few days, and Gu's mother began to wonder if Gu Xiang had gone crazy.

  Gu's mother asked Gu Xiang to go play computer with her little uncle, but Gu Xiang was writing and didn't even lift her head, saying: "What's so fun about computers? It's not as interesting as doing homework."

  Gu's mother was frightened out of her wits.

  All parents are like this. If the child doesn't study hard, they'd rather tie her to the desk. But now that Gu Xiang is like this, she's afraid that there's something wrong with Gu Xiang.

  Then she thought of Gu Xiang's incident two days ago in the countryside, and Mrs. Gu felt more and more afraid, so she went to her younger sister-in-law's place to discuss it with her.

  After dinner that day, I took Gu Xiang to the home of the old lady who had called us last time.

  But this time the old lady held her hand for a long time and still didn't feel anything.

  The old lady asked about Gu Xiang's symptoms.

  Gu's mom was right next to her saying she had been doing homework all along and hadn't eaten or slept.

  Gu Xiang is dying of embarrassment beside him.

  She doesn't go without eating or sleeping, she clearly has a good balance between work and rest, with meals and sleep well-planned. She can eat four or five liang of food in one meal, her appetite is not too good.

  It was just that after going home at night, I felt tired and didn't feel like talking, so I took a bath, watched TV for a while, and then went to sleep.

  That old lady counted her fingers mysteriously for half a day and said a lot of good things, saying that Gu Xiang was fortunate to have misfortune and opened up early wisdom.

  The aunt didn't quite believe it, gave the money and left.

  In this regard, the two of them are quite alike. Although they both believe in some traditional old-fashioned things like fortune-telling and face-reading, they don't really believe in this kind of thing where you just snap your fingers and come up with an answer.

  And besides, the old lady didn't notice anything at first, it was only after Aunt Gu told her that she said so.

  After going home, Gu Xiang felt that he couldn't scare his mother anymore, so he reduced the time spent on doing exercises.

  In the afternoon, I will also play chess and cards with Aunt Gu.

  She also has her own plans.

  When she just came back, she was in a state of excitement and uncertainty, but after the incident with Xiao Hei Pang, she found that she had the ability to change some things.

  Since it's like this, she must work very hard to relive once more.

  She is luckier than many people who can start all over again.

  If all these can't be grasped well, it's really too unprogressive!

  And she's already done everything she wanted to do in her past life, now these things around her really don't have any temptation!

  Chen Wu used to often play at Gu's mom's place, but recently Gu Xiang has been doing homework all the time.

  He came several times after that, and then didn't come over much anymore.

  It had been maintained for a period of time, and even the aunties from the neighboring streets who opened shops nearby came to see her. The adults around her finally got used to Gu Xiang's study mode.

  It wasn't until Gu Xiang finished writing all the scrolls at home that time quietly slipped into August.

  One afternoon, a classmate called Gu Xiang. It was Gu's mother who answered the phone, and Gu Xiang took over with a "hello".

  "Gu Xiang, have you finished your summer homework? I have a few math questions to ask you."

  Sheng is a girl, but Gu Xiang has no impression of her at all.

  Gu Xiang said: "Wait a minute." Then she hung up the phone and asked her mother: "Mom, where is my homework?"

  "Isn't it in the wardrobe? You look for it yourself."

  Gu Xiang uttered an "oh" and flipped through a pile of clothes before finding a crumpled plastic bag underneath.

  It's quite embarrassing to keep people waiting for so long, Gu Xiang quickly took out her homework.

  When Gu Xiang saw the brand new cover of the exercise book, she had a bad premonition.

  As expected, when I opened it up, everything was blank!

  After adjusting the clothes on the wall, Gu's mom walked over and asked her: "What are you looking for homework for? Didn't you say you didn't need to write it?"

  Gu Xiang died of embarrassment and quickly picked up the phone saying: "I forgot I didn't write it, sorry about that."

  The girl opposite had been waiting for so long and didn't get angry, she just said: "It's okay. You can write faster, Teacher Zheng said that the papers need to be collected on the day of the class division exam."

  After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Gu said to Gu Xiang: "Why don't we let your dad go talk to the teacher? Just say that our family has something going on and didn't have time to write it?"

  It's just the beginning of August, and Gu Xiang feels he can finish writing it.

  If we let Mr. Gu go and beg for mercy, the teacher may not say anything on the surface, but in her heart, she will definitely think that she is not good and not making progress.

  She didn't want to leave this impression on a teacher she would be with for the next three years.

  In the next few days, Gu Xiang finished writing math and language first.

  But math is written seriously, Chinese is just nonsense, filling every line to the full, when filling in poetry and texts, I just copy from the book.

  Before, when Gu Xiang was writing her homework, Mom hadn't noticed anything unusual, but this time she felt something was different and asked Gu Xiang: "Why is your handwriting different?"

  Gu Xiang was embarrassed again.

  Although she hasn't written properly for a long time, an adult's writing habits are clearly different from those of a junior high school student.

  Then she could only find a copybook and start practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke again.

  When it was finally time for English class, Gu Xiang had only written for ten days in her previous two classes.

  But English is a bit more difficult for her. Although she has a good foundation and has practiced her spoken language, she gets confused with many conceptual things, such as tenses and fixed word combinations.

  Then she thought of flipping through her old notes. However, after searching through her desk and bookshelf, she still couldn't find them.

  When she mentioned this to her mother, Gu's mother looked at her strangely and said: "What notes do you have? Didn't you say that these were all simple and you never took notes? The notebook I bought for you was used for drafts."

  She was really lazy back then!

  Luckily she had the phone number of a classmate who called before, so after pressing redial, she made the call.

  He was beaten by Gu Xiang just now!

  She doesn't even know what the girl's name is! What if it was someone from her family who picked her up, she wouldn't even know who to ask for.

  Luckily, it was still the same girl who answered the phone!

  "Hey, hi, I'm Gu Xiang. I've finished writing the math, do you still want to take a look?"

  The girl opposite said: "Okay, I've done a few of them, but there are still a few small questions that I don't know."

  Gu Xiang said: "I also have some English questions that I don't know how to do. How about this, I'll give you my math and you show me your English?"

  The person opposite said: "Wait a minute." Then after a few minutes, the girl said: "I'll go to the school entrance tomorrow afternoon and wait for you, is that okay?"

  "Okay, let's make an appointment then. I'm available anytime, what time works for you?"

  The person opposite spoke in a business-like tone: "My dad is sending me to work tomorrow, so I need to get going early. How about 8:30?"

  Gu Xiang said "okay", and the two of them agreed on it like this.

  After she hung up the phone, her mother asked beside her: "Have you made an appointment with Tang Lulu?"

  Gu Xiang only then knew that the girl was actually Tang Lulu. Previously, Teacher Zheng said that after entering sixth grade, she often slept at twelve o'clock and was a study tyrant.

  Gu's mother said: "I've seen her play with kids several times, and I think she's quite good. But for some reason, none of you like to play with her."

  Gu Xiang's impression of Tang Lulu was very shallow, they were classmates in elementary school and junior high school.

  In her limited impression, Tang Lulu's label was "First Place" and "Arrogant"...

  But as soon as she got in touch with her, she felt that the girl was quite good, just like her mother.
