In the first month, She Yujie also wrote two letters home, but in the following months, he suddenly had no news.

She Fenggang is a selfish person, and he usually only has a good eye for his eldest son She Yuguo, so it is not a big deal for him to have no news of his younger son.

But Wang Xiulan is different from Old Man She and Old Mrs. She, these three people sent letters one after another, and even asked relatives at home to inquire about the news on their behalf.

Of course, it is said that it is to inquire about the news, but in fact, it is just that the elders who are worried about the younger generation are doing their best and then asking for peace of mind.

After all, in this year, transportation is not as convenient as in later generations.

Mo said that it is two cities far apart from each other, one south and one north, that is, different cities in the same province, and it is quite difficult to find someone who has broken off contact.

Unlike Wang Xiulan and others, Mei Yali is not worried about what will happen to her little uncle.

In her previous life, She Yujie also had no contact with her family for more than two years.

It's not that there's something bad about him that prevents him from contacting his family, it's just that he just doesn't have money.

Because he changed jobs and moved to a cheaper place to rent a house, he missed all the letters from his hometown.

In addition, in the past two years, he and his girlfriend have each lost their wallets two or three times, and for a long time, they can only rely on a fixed diet of one pack of instant noodles a day to feed themselves.

A person who is poor, hates to break a penny in half, and is full of only the idea of "how to make money", if he has a father who writes a letter and asks for money and accuses him of not resigning, it is strange that he is willing to contact his family.

Later, his situation gradually improved, and he wrote a letter to Majia Village again.

For this matter, Wang Xiulan quarreled with She Fenggang a lot, blaming him for not accusing She Yujie at length, and second, not forcing She Yujie to send him money.

In the summer of '97, Mei Yali proposed to skip a grade to go to junior high school.

Because she was only eight years old, Mei Zhijun and She Yufen were very hesitant, not knowing whether they should agree to go to Heigang Township, more than ten miles away, to study in middle school at such a young age.

Mei Yali took a lot of time, and finally her parents were moved, and agreed to help her tell She Yuguo - Mei Yali wants to skip a grade, so she has to find someone to say hello to the junior high school teacher and principal, and She Yuguo happens to teach biology and chemistry in Heigang Township.

Although She Yuguo is a selfish and money-loving person, and their family also has other relatives who teach in Heigang Township, from the perspective of kinship, She Yuguo is obviously the most suitable person to do this.

If they crossed She Yuguo and asked others for help without authorization, then She Yuguo's face would not be wanted at all, so whether She Yuguo was willing to help with this favor or not, She Yufen and Mei Zhijun had to tell him first.

Otherwise, they are scheming and slapping their relatives in the face.

"By the way, Dad, I still want to learn kung fu." Mei Yali said as she danced twice.

Mei Zhijun refused without thinking about it, "You are a girl, what kind of kung fu did you learn?" Besides, I don't have much kung fu. ”

"It's not kung fu, what is that?" Mei Yali tilted her little head and pretended to be naïve, "No matter what it is, I want to learn anyway." ”

Mei Zhijun refused in his heart, but he couldn't resist Mei Yali's persistence.

After being pestered by her for a few days, he finally relented.

Over the years, he has also seen that his daughter is different from other little children who only care about playing all day long, and basically everything she does is "business".

Whether it is asking him and She Yufen to borrow old textbooks from the senior grade for her to study on her own, or proposing to skip a grade to take the junior high school exam, or even putting forward some seemingly willful requirements that are actually beneficial to their family - such as raising rabbits and sheep, or for example, they have to eat eggs and tofu together, drink goat's milk and bone broth.

has laid the foundation for countless small things in the past few years, Mei Yali has long been labeled as "well-behaved and sensible" in the hearts of Mei Zhijun and She Yufen, so even if Mei Zhijun doesn't understand why she wants to learn military physical boxing as a girl, he still relented under Mei Yali's repeated begging.

So, starting from June of this year, every morning, Mei Zhijun would first instruct Mei Yali to practice simple boxing for half an hour.

Mei Hongwen loves to stick to her sister and her father, seeing the two of them comparing in the yard, the little guy has to join in this fun.

He is still young, and unlike Mei Yali, who has changed her core, it is so hard to practice her fists and feet, of course he can't follow it one by one.

At most, he just posed on the sidelines in a strange but childish and cute flower shelf.

But even so, Mei Yali was very happy to take him with her.

On the one hand, Mei Hongwen is indeed well-behaved and cute, which can bring her a lot of fun, on the other hand, she also wants to cultivate Mei Hongwen's interest in these things, and when he grows up, Mei Yali hopes that he can also learn a little self-defense skills under the guidance of Mei Zhijun.

After all, although it is a peaceful time now, the scene of self-protection will still appear more or less a few times in everyone's life.

Mei Zhijun and She Yufen quickly completed She Yuguo's ideological work, but She Yuguo proposed to test Mei Yali's knowledge level in advance.

In his words, he can't recommend a little girl who obviously can't get into junior high school to skip the exam.

Mei Zhijun and She Yufen are not worried about this at all, you must know that Mei Yali has not only completed all the homework in primary school, but also taught herself half of the homework in the first year of junior high school.

A few days later, Mei Yali took a mock exam under the supervision of She Yuguo.

The questions in the exam were very simple for her, but in order not to behave too much, she consciously controlled the correctness of her answers, as she had done countless times before.

Rao is like this, She Yuguo was still shocked by her.

You must know that this girl's "exam" scores are all above 95 points.

After thinking about it for a while, he randomly came up with a few questions to test Mei Yali, and Mei Yali was also more right and less wrong, which made him just want to suspect that Mei Yali was just lucky and didn't have a chance.

The niece is so good, but She Yuguo is not happy at all.

Without him, it's really his own daughter who is a little too inferior.

In Mei Yali's previous life, She Yuguo and his daughter-in-law always disliked She Meidi for being "stupid", and every time they scolded She Meidi for being "stupid", "pig-brained", and "unenlightened", Mei Yali couldn't help but feel sad for She Meidi.
