Early the next morning, Mei Lan put her grandmother in the car and went to Anita Mui's house.

Anita Mui's parents have been working in Dongguan in the early years, and when Anita Mui was admitted to Meixian No. 1 Middle School three years ago, they both resigned and returned to their hometown, bought a house in the county, and moved to the county seat with Anita Mui and Anita Mui's younger brother, and the couple opened a small clothing store.

When Mei Lan found Anita Mui's house, her parents went to the store, her brother went to school, and she was the only one in the house.

"Rare guest, you actually found my house?" Anita Mui, who was wearing a set of pink cartoon-patterned pajamas, yawned as she spoke, looking like she had just climbed out of bed.

"Dare to love this person is polite (pretty), and he looks good when he yawns?"

"Come on, you, someone said that Mei Lan looks much more durable than Anita Mui, how is it, is it tempting?"

Mei Lan pushed away Anita Mui's head and asked, "Can't you?" Which Wang Ba didn't open his eyes so much that he actually fell in love with my mung bean? Broke our little Yifei's heart? ”

"Poof." Anita Mui picked up the water cup and just took a sip of water, and sprayed it all at once.

"You are really poisonous, is it his fault that people have taken a fancy to you, Wang Ba, you can think of it, there is such a jade tree in the wind?"

Seeing Mei Lan roll her eyes, Anita Mui put down the cup, raised her hands and said, "Oh, I know, no one can compare to your brother Xu Yan." By the way, speaking of which, I didn't ask you yesterday when there were a lot of people, why don't you plan to study medicine? Xu Yan changed his mind? ”

"What nonsense, didn't you see him during the winter vacation?"

"Yes." Anita Mui smacked her mouth, shook her head, and then said: "He can accompany you to the restaurant to wash the dishes, such a good man is not easy to find, forget it, I won't persuade you to split your legs." ”

"Virtue, after taking the university entrance examination, dare to say anything?"

"Is this still called daring?"

After speaking, Anita Mui seemed to think of something, turned to Mei Lan again, looked up and down, grinned, and stepped forward to hug Mei Lan.

"Say, do you two have that?"

"Which one?"

"What's in it? Honestly, how many bases have you two made? ”

"Ba Po, I'm sorry to disappoint you, he said that I am still a high school student, and I have not yet reached eighteen."

At that time, Xu Yan did say so, he was worried that once this kind of thing started, he would not be able to control himself, and Mei Lan was still a middle school student, so he kept Mei Lan alone, saying that he would wait until Mei Lan was eighteen years old and was admitted to college.

But when Mei Lan was eighteen, he changed his mind.

"Tsk, such a good man, why didn't he take a fancy to me back then?" Anita Mui was immersed in her own thoughts, not noticing Mei Lan's gloomy sadness.

Xu Yan is the child of Mei Lan's homeroom teacher when she was in elementary school, at that time, Mei Zhu, Mei Lan, Mei Ju, and Mei Yanfei were all studying in the central primary school in the town, Mei Zhu was three years older than Mei Lan, three grades higher, Mei Lan was more than a year older than Mei Ju, Mei Ju was weak because of her poor physique, and her personality was also weak, and her family didn't worry about her, so she was allowed to go to school with Mei Lan.

Coincidentally, once Mei Ju was bullied by a senior classmate, crying and crying to find Mei Lan, Mei Lan didn't say a word, asked which class it was, took a brick and rushed to the classroom to find that person, and was about to take pictures of that person when he was pulled by a little boy in a white shirt and jeans.

That little boy is Xu Yan. This matter later went to the head teacher, and Mei Lan was punished by the head teacher for standing up, calling parents, reporting criticism, writing reviews, etc., so she became familiar with Xu Yan.

Xu Yan's academic performance is quite good, he is always the first in the grade, he is a good child and a good role model in the eyes of the teachers and students in the school, while Mei Lan is a problem student in the eyes of the teacher, she either sleeps or talks to others in class, and skips class at every turn, and her grades are a mess.

The two somehow secretly came together, and later Xu Yan recalled that at that time, he felt that Mei Lan had a kind of anger, and if he didn't save Mei Lan, Mei Lan would definitely go down a crooked path.

It is true that after Mei Lan and Xu Yan met, Xu Yan told Mei Lan a lot of big truths, the outside world, the benefits of studying, and how a rural person can change his fate.

In short, Mei Lan began to study under Xu Yan's bitter heart, she didn't deliberately skip class, but because her mother always had something to call her back to do it, and her grandmother and younger brother were also tired for three days, Mei Lan was like a spinning top, spinning around, where did she have the heart to listen to what the teacher said in the classroom? It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, the classroom was where Mei Lan rested.

Mei Lan, who calmed down, found that what the teacher said was not difficult, she just had to listen carefully.

It can be said that it was Xu Yan who opened the window of Mei Lan's soul, made Mei Lan discover the diversity of the outside world, and also strengthened the idea of relying on her own efforts to change her own destiny.

This is also the reason why although Xu Yan changed his mind later, Mei Lan still couldn't hate him.

Over the years, she has been accustomed to chasing Xu Yan's footsteps, from elementary school to junior high school, from junior high school to high school, from high school to university.

"What do you think, I'm in a daze, and you're in a daze." Anita Mui knocked Mei Lan, who was immersed in the past.

"By the way, I forgot to get down to business after a long time."

"What's the matter? Borrow money? I only have five hundred, is it enough? ”

"No, I'm looking for two short-sleeved pants and two five-point pants. Don't be too good, I'm going out to work and wear it. ”

Although Anita Mui's clothes are not good, but there are a lot of them, when she was young, Mei Lan picked up the old clothes that Mei Zhu worn, and now that Mei Zhu is in college, those old clothes are obviously kept for Mei Ju, and Mei Lan has nothing to pick up if she wants to.

"You said that your family is too, obviously you are the most obedient and sensible, you do the most work, and you read the best, but you are the least treated by them, if it weren't for the fact that you look like your mother, I really thought you were picked up by them."

"Who told me not to be born a boy? If I were a boy, the next two would not be there, and this family would not have to be poor? ”

"Nonsense, what is Mei Ju? She's not a girl, you don't have to be fined when you're born, and she's been fined when she was born. ”

Mei Lan also knew about this matter, the first child of the rural policy is that girls can have a second child, Mei Lan is planned, Mei Ju and Mei Xin both paid fines, and Deng Hongying complained a lot.

So, Merlin can't be someone else's child.

"That can't be compared, my mother said that she was born a few days prematurely, and it is inevitable that she is not good at nature, and it is inevitable that she will be squeamish, besides, I am not working so hard for Mei Ju, but for my mother, and you are not clear how tired my mother is."

Mei Lan is telling the truth, Mei Baoping wants to go out to earn money to support her family, Zheng Hongying is a woman with four children, inside and out, how hard it is Mei Lan knows best, others are not distressed, she has to be distressed.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, anyway, we don't have a conclusion if we continue to talk about it, you better go back and continue to be your big filial daughter, big filial girl, what kind of clothes do you want, you can pick it yourself, by the way, you don't go out to buy clothes for college, I'll ask my mother to give you two."

"We'll talk about it then."

Mei Lan didn't want to owe too much favor to others, the reason why she came to Anita Mui to ask for two old clothes was because she knew that the old clothes that Anita Mui didn't wear were also packed and sent back to the countryside, and it was not worth it for her to pick two.

Mei Lan picked out two T-shirts from Anita Mui, one pink and one white, two cropped pants, one denim and one beige khaki, all of which are the kind of stalls with a purchase price of no more than 20, and they are all 50% new.

"Here's for you." Anita Mui gave her a white dress with a logo.

"Forget it, I rarely wear skirts."

The main thing is that I don't have the opportunity to wear it, I am busy all day long, how to do things in a skirt? What's more, it's still white.

"Just take it for you, isn't someone invited to dinner in the evening? It's time for the people in our class to take a group photo when we sign up for volunteers in a few days, you can't still wear that school uniform, and besides, Xu Yan is coming back soon, you can't show him a different look, didn't you say, you two want that, huh? Anita Mui winked at Mei Lan narrowly.

"Thanks." Mei Lan is not a dead person either.

She didn't want to wear it to Xu Yan, a person who has changed her mind can't keep it, she is to commemorate her youth, she doesn't want a few years later, when everyone is looking at the group photo, she is still the gray shadow wearing a school uniform.
