Chapter 62: First Change of Growth

Wang Laidie was so surprised when she suddenly saw Ye Yu appearing out of nowhere that she forgot what she was talking about before. After hearing her complaints, she tied up the apron she had just taken off and went to the kitchen.

After the rice was cooked in the pot, the stove fire was rekindled. At this time, Wang Lai Di stopped him from adding more firewood and scolded him with a smile: "This little rascal!"

Inside the main room, Ye Hongjun was also carefully looking at his daughter. His first reaction was that she was so tall.

Ye Baoguo happened to be there too. Compared to him, the son and daughter are almost the same height?! Baoguo is 1.78 meters tall, right? Isn’t his daughter 1.75 meters tall?

Ye Hongjun was so surprised that he asked this question out loud.

"I'm still two centimeters away from 1.75 meters, but the proportions are good and I look taller." Ye Yu was no longer sleepy when she talked about this. Her eyes lit up. She felt that her height could still increase a little. 1.78 meters would definitely be no problem. She would completely get rid of 1.5 meters and finally get the long legs she had always dreamed of.

Perfect!

The fundamental reason was that she underestimated that after her body and soul were united, her talent would be even higher than in her previous lives. She never expected this and was really happy.

Hua Feifei and the others, who were with him day and night, might not have noticed it, but in the eyes of the Ye family, Ye Yu's sudden height brought a very strong visual impact.

Ye Hongjun didn't know what to say. His daughter was almost taller than him, her father.

In addition to her height, Ye Yu's figure is no longer as slender and thin as before, but more slender and well-proportioned. And although she still looks quite thin, she is definitely not light in weight.

The reason lies in body fat percentage, which is the total fat weight divided by body weight. Generally speaking, the body fat percentage of normal men is 15%-18%, and the body fat percentage of women is 25%-28%.

Ye Yu's current body fat percentage is lower than that of an adult male. Although his muscles don't seem thick, they are very resilient and can burst out with the wild power of the jungle at any time. Coupled with his height, his weight naturally increased rapidly.

There really wasn't any change in her appearance or facial features. Even if there was, a straight man like Ye Hongjun couldn't tell. He mainly judged her by her height and temperament, and he couldn't describe what temperament was, but it was definitely different from the women nowadays.

It's different from men.

He stands out from the crowd and is definitely the one that can be picked out at first glance. Perhaps at the train station, Han Jing was recognized by his childhood friend not just because of his tall stature.

Ye Hongjun was not a talkative person, and after a long time he managed to say: "It's good that I didn't have to suffer."

"What kind of hardship can she endure? She has grown taller and fatter. It seems that we have abused her in the past."

Wang Lai Di knew how much her daughter ate, so she took a colander and fried some sweet potato and mixed grain dumplings and corn cake first, then added cabbage and radish, which are the most common foods in winter, and kept the rest hot in the pot.

As soon as she came out and heard Ye Hongjun's words, she came to her senses and retorted in a bad mood.

"So many delicious foods, mom, you're really great." Ye Yu used the way of acting coquettishly that she learned from Hua Feifei, combined with her own characteristics, and gave Wang Lai Di a warm hug. It was so warm that she even hugged her mother and lifted her up into the air.

Nowadays parents and children are not that close, let alone couples.

After washing his hands, Ye Yu couldn't wait to run to the dining table, grabbed a corn cake and stuffed it into his mouth. He took a bite of the cake and a bite of spicy cabbage, and the taste was so delicious.

Ye Baoguo swallowed his saliva, looked at Ye Hongjun, then looked at Wang Laidie, hesitated for a long time, and reached out for the dustpan, but after being glanced at by Ye Yu, he retracted his hand.

Ye Yu was no longer the newly reborn Ye Yu, but Ye Yu 1.0 who had lived a life of plenty in the countryside. He picked up a bowl of sweet potato and miscellaneous grains from the basket and gave it to him.

Ye Baoguo was flattered:

"Thank you, Third Sister."

Wang Lai Di simply couldn't bear to watch. Although, Ye Yu didn't seem to suffer much, her greedy look made her feel that home was no match for the outside world, even though she knew it was her nature. She couldn't bear to curse her no matter how much she wanted to.

Ye Yu suddenly asked:

"Mom, do you remember Uncle Wang?"

Wang Lai Di: "Which Uncle Wang?"

"The one on Nanshan Mountain," Ye Yu raised his thumb, "the old man... the old man is already seventy years old, and he can go up and down the mountain like a monkey, and he is very good at hunting and setting traps. Mom, why don't you talk about the otherworldly masters in Wangjiagou? The educated youth who were with me, Han Jing, Xu Fei, Hua Feifei and others, all learned martial arts from the old man, but none of them are as good as me, hehe."

If the forest ranger were here, he would surely be very touched, because Ye Yu was not the kind of person who always called him "old man" in a disrespectful manner. Although her essence was to use vague words to make him take the blame, since they met, hadn't he taken the blame for a lot of things?

"It's Uncle Wang!"

As soon as Ye Yu mentioned it, Wang Lai Di immediately recalled. Of course she remembered the forest ranger on Nanshan Mountain. When she was a child, anyone in her family who was naughty would say they would be sent to the top of Nanshan Mountain. The forest ranger fought against the little devils when he was young. During the famine in the 1960s, he led the whole village to hunt and pull weeds in Nanshan Mountain, so that no one in their village was lost.

It's really amazing.

No wonder Ye Yu was able to send back so many wild boars. I'm afraid Uncle Wang treated them as his heirs and taught them some skills!

"Mom, have you eaten all the meat I sent you? If not, I have more in my bag." Ye Yu took the opportunity to say. It's not that she disliked the taste of sweet potato steamed buns and corn cakes, but she ate too much in the countryside and was a little uncomfortable without meat.

"Take and take again. What kind of family are we? Is it normal for us to eat meat every day?"

Wang Lai Di sealed the doors and windows of the main room tightly, then went to get a bowl of cut bacon and placed it in front of Ye Yu.

He went to look at Ye Yu's package again. Although he was mentally prepared, he still took two steps back, covering his chest.

Good fellow.

Ye Yu didn't bring any clothes home for the Spring Festival. She only brought food, including meat sauce, dried meat, diced meat, bacon, smoked fish, juicy bean sprouts and romaine lettuce, which was even more extravagant than last time.

Not only Wang Lai Di, Ye Hongjun also reflexively checked whether the doors and windows were tightly closed. They just felt that since Ye Yu went to the countryside, he had seen and eaten more meat than in his entire life.

Eating meat is of course a happy thing. Families that eat meat will certainly open their doors wide, as if they want everyone in the house to know that they eat meat.

But eating meat every day is not something to brag about, for fear of being reported to the heavens by conjunctivitis. The world is so chaotic nowadays that we have to hide it.

Therefore, Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidi are very particular about eating meat. They eat it less frequently but in larger quantities, and they cook the meat with as little smell as possible, or use other seasonings to cover it up.

Look, there are people in the hospital who are jealous of them behind their backs.

Wang Lai Di imitated it vividly: "Your family has really made a fortune. The eldest daughter married a worker, the second daughter's family is a soldier, the third daughter went to the countryside and sent things back every month, and the youngest son was selected as a physical training student. He has both money and tickets at a young age. As for the fourth son, the one who stayed with his parents and was filial to them, he will soon get married. When the time comes, your son and daughter-in-law will give you a big fat grandson, and they will honor you together."

If they act like this in front of you, who knows what they will say behind your back?

"Baoguo is only a little old, but everything he said is right except the last one," Ye Yu said after swallowing a big mouthful of the braised pork with steamed cake. "Aren't our lives getting better and better? We should eat good food. Their gossip will not stop just because we don't eat meat."

Wang Lai Di, who was putting things in the sideboard, couldn't help but roll her eyes at her: "Is this a little too much? The cabinet can't even hold it, and I don't dare put it in the kitchen. It's damp and dark there, and there are rats. I'm afraid they'll destroy it. I have to hang bacon and sausage in the dormitory. What kind of look is this?"

"It's convenient for me to eat secretly!" Ye Yu accidentally said something about his behavior, and felt the glares coming at him. He touched his nose and said, "It's Chinese New Year, there's a lot of meat and fish, which means our family will be prosperous."

"The child has just returned. It's not easy for her outside. Don't argue with her yet. Our family is getting better and better every year."

This word touched Ye Hongjun's heart. He had been busy for most of his life. Wasn't this his life goal? When they were flattered and praised by others, they were terrified, but they were still proud and proud in their hearts.

He is like this, and so is his wife.

How could they not know each other after being together for decades? The lips that were raised up were never flat.

Ye Yu gave her father a thumbs up, stuffed a piece of bacon into her mother's mouth, and asked, "Did Weiguo really get into the sports academy?"

Wang Lai Di nodded: "Yes, a monthly subsidy of 25 yuan, as well as food coupons and meat coupons, benefits during festivals, and extra rewards if you win first place in the team in a competition. It's better than a worker's iron rice bowl. If you work hard, you won't have to worry about your life."

"...I can't do this for the rest of my life unless I become a coach."

Wang Lai Di was determined: "Then I will be a coach."

"Okay, you have the final say. If he can't be a coach, I'll kick his ass," Ye Yu asked again, "Is Weiguo not coming back tonight?"

"Their training team provides food and accommodation, and we can only go home once a month. We have to wait until the New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow to have a holiday. Well, it's not easy for them to train. Your father and I went to see them once. They are so young, but they have to get up at six in the morning to do morning exercises, and then they have to run at night. It's not easier than being a worker. They deserve those subsidies." Wang Laidie's eyes were wet again when she mentioned this.

"Her mother is in menopause and her maternal love is overflowing, but it's not appropriate to say this out loud." Ye Yu sighed inwardly while picking up a piece of meat for her brother.

Children who go out attract a lot of attention from their parents, while those who stay with them are more likely to be neglected. They also have to bear all kinds of emotions from their parents, which is not easy.

Ye Baoguo was bewildered:...After a trip to the countryside, why did my third sister become so generous?

That evening, with Ye Yu's return, the Ye family became more lively and chatted until quite late. Ye Hongjun and his wife also noticed that their daughter had finally grown up after going to the countryside. Before going to the countryside, she probably didn't have the patience to talk so much with her parents.

That's true. In the countryside, people have so much free time during the June festival that they pick their toes. Sometimes, the educated youth even sit and talk while soaking their feet. Moreover, after not seeing Ye Yu for a few months, it's not just his height that has changed.

But no matter how late it is, it can't be later than eight o'clock. At half past seven, someone started yawning, and then one person infected two people.

Ye Yu returned to her room. The furnishings in the room had not changed much. There was no dust on the table or bed, and the bed sheets and quilt covers were all stained with the smell of sunlight.
