“Okay, I’m waiting to be a world champion’s grandma!” Grandma Mei said happily.
"Then wouldn't I be the younger brother of a world champion?" Mei Jian said happily.
"Of course, then our family will be famous. We'll be the family of a world champion." Mei Liang felt that having such a talented younger sister was a great source of pride.
"Mom, we should get on the train now," said Dad, picking up the luggage from the floor.
"Go quickly then. Sisi, don't wander around in the car, be careful of bad people. Xiaohua, keep a close eye on Sisi too, and don't let her sleep in the car." Grandma Mei followed behind the father and daughter, giving them her worried instructions.
"Grandma, I'm leaving. I'll come back during my vacation." Mei Si didn't really want to leave. She had familiar family here, and lots of delicious food. She wouldn't be able to eat it anymore if she left.
However, Mei's father persuaded her, saying that there are many more delicious foods in Kyoto than here, and it would take her a long time to try them all.
After getting off the train, Mei's father didn't ask for directions to the sports school, but instead asked around for directions to the Peace Hotel near the train station.
"Dad, shall we eat now?" Mei Si looked at the sun. It was only afternoon. Was it really time to eat so early?
"If we're not going to eat, let's go find your Uncle Wang."
"Uncle Wang?"
"You don't remember? Our two families used to be neighbors, but they moved away because of some things."
Mei's father has maintained correspondence with Wang Aiguo for many years, and they send each other New Year's gifts every year.
They thought they would never see each other again, but unexpectedly his daughter was so promising that she was selected for the national team, and they actually came to Kyoto.
"I remember, Gousheng's father."
"Yes, that's Gousheng's dad. Gousheng was so small back then, I wonder how tall he's grown now."
"Gousheng? You didn't know? Gousheng..." Mei Si looked at her father in confusion. He didn't even know that Gousheng was gone.
"Culture is right here!" Wang Aiguo called out and waved as he saw Mei's father.
"Aiguo, you've lost so much weight. You didn't mention in your letter that you were this thin!" If Wang Aiguo hadn't called out to him, Mei's father would hardly have recognized the thin man in front of him as Wang Aiguo.
"I've gained quite a bit of weight back; I used to be much thinner. Let's get in the car first, and we can have a proper chat when we get home."
I helped Mei's father carry half of his things and led the father and daughter toward the bus stop.
Mei Si scrutinized Wang Aiguo closely, finding it hard to believe that this skinny man was actually her former Uncle Wang; they were practically two different people.
"What's wrong, Sisi? Don't you recognize me?" Wang Aiguo noticed that Mei Si was staring at him and assumed that she didn't remember who he was.
“It’s different now. Uncle Wang has lost so much weight. He must not have been eating properly.”
"Haha, yeah, Uncle Wang hasn't been eating properly, and Sisi hasn't been eating well either, she's lost a lot of weight."
"I'm eating well, but the portions are getting smaller and smaller." Mei Si gets upset just thinking about it. She's been trying to eat, but she's losing weight.
Mei Si subconsciously touched her most hated pointed chin, feeling an urge to break it off.
"Sisi is fine as she is. Being too fat is not good either." Wang Aiguo didn't expect that Mei Si would dislike him for being too thin. Her figure is clearly a bit on the chubby side.
When Wang Aiguo and his two companions arrived home, it was already 6 p.m. Wang's mother had prepared dinner and was waiting for them to come home.
"Oh my! Look at our Sisi, she's grown into a beautiful young lady." As soon as Wang Ma saw Mei Si, she went up and hugged her.
"Aunt Wang," Mei Si called out in a muffled voice, nestled in Wang Ma's arms.
"Hey~!"
Wang Ma happily agreed.
"Uncle Mei." Wang Celou came over and helped Uncle Mei take down his luggage.
"Wow, Gousheng has grown so tall! Young men really do grow fast. He used to be about the same height as Sisi," said Mei's father, comparing Wang Celou's height.
"Gousheng?" Mei Si struggled to get out of Wang Ma's arms and stared wide-eyed at Wang Ce Lou behind Wang Ma.
"Hmm." Wang Celou frowned and reluctantly responded.
Wang Celou hadn't heard the nickname "Gousheng" for a long time. It was really beneath him to be called "Gousheng" at his age.
"How did you survive? You lied to me!" Mei Si never expected that Gou Sheng, whom she trusted so much, would lie to her.
"...When did I lie to you?"
Wang Celou was somewhat baffled.
“You clearly said you weren’t here…” Mei Si trailed off, realizing that she had misunderstood something before. Over the years, she hadn’t realized it.
"Haha, it's just kids' business, let's not get involved. Come on, let's go inside." Seeing that the two children weren't arguing, Wang Ma decided not to interfere anymore and directly invited Mei's father to go inside.
"Well, Sisi was wrong just now. She shouldn't have said that." Mei's father apologized as soon as he entered the room, feeling that his daughter's words were really unpleasant to hear.
"No need to apologize, they're just kids playing around." Wang Aiguo waved his hand, not taking Mei Si's words to heart.
The Wang family's house is a courtyard house. Knowing that Mei's father and daughter were coming, Wang's mother had already prepared two rooms.
Wang Aiguo helped Mei's father put his things down and then invited everyone to have dinner first.
After Mei Si sat down at the table, she looked at the bowls and chopsticks on the table and felt something was strange. She opened her mouth to ask a question.
Wang Celou knew Mei Si's straightforward nature. As soon as he saw her looking at the bowls and chopsticks, he immediately knew what she wanted to ask. Wang Celou kicked Mei Si under the table, signaling her to shut up.
