“Just this?” Jing Ziheng raised an eyebrow, “I thought you had self-awareness a long time ago.”  

Before the little girl raised her threatening fist, he changed the subject: “But if you think about it from a different perspective, doesn’t this also show that people are praising you for the way your handwriting has gotten better, showing that your practice over this period of time has resulted in progress, and is worthy of praise.”  

“Is there any reward for praise?” Full of expectation.  

It turns out that she had been putting on a front, and the real purpose was lay waiting him.  

“Yes.” Jing Ziheng took out a small bag of fried almonds from his pocket and waved it in front of Ye Mi.  

The little girl was like a cat attracted by a toy, her little head moved left, right, up, and down.  

Totally mesmerized.  

“You must promise me that you will memorize a text before going to bed tonight, and this is the reward.”  

Ye Mi face fell for a second: “I don’t want to memorize it.”  

Copying books is already difficult, but I still have to learn them by heart.  That’s even harder!  

“If you don’t memorize it, I’ll eat it by myself.” Jing Ziheng simply put away the almonds, turned around and walked out.  Ye Mi hurriedly grabbed his arm, holding on tightly, and shouted with her eyes closed: “I take it back, I can memorize it?”  Isn’t it just a text?  

She was going all out!  

Jing Ziheng’s thin lips slightly curled up.  

Sure enough, foodies will never be able to resist the temptation of delicious food .  

In the evening, while the two were having dinner, Jing Ziheng suddenly said, “My parents wrote to say they want to see you.”  

“Cough…cough cough cough…” Ye Mi choked.  

Jing Ziheng hurriedly poured her a glass of water, and patted her on the back to let her breathe: “Have some water, silly girl, only you can choke on such a good meal.”  

“It’s not you who scared me!” Ye Mi pushed Jing Ziheng away, staring at him with red eyes.  

She didn’t cry, she just coughed too much.  

Jing Ziheng was a little guilty, he didn’t expect to scare her.  

After recovering, Ye Mi began to grip the corner of the table uneasily: “Go…to your house, can I not go…I’m not ready yet.”  She understands that a new daughter-in-law always has to meet the in-laws, but he can’t not give people a little psychological preparation time, right?  

“Don’t worry.” Jing Ziheng comforted: “We won’t be able to go this year.”  Educated youths can report to the brigade and apply for family leave.  As long as the team approves, you can go home and stay for a period of time, but you must come back when the time comes, otherwise you will become a refugee without a registered permanent residence, and the police can arrest you when they see you.  

Family leave is not that easy to get approval, there are only two or three quotas per year, and there must be a valid reason to get approval.  

For example, Ye Mi was seriously ill before, so she could actually apply to go home to recuperate for a period of time, but she stubbornly refused to go back, so she didn’t use this opportunity.  

So this year’s opportunity has already been applied for by someone else.  

Ye Mi knew this other couple, Bing Shuyuan and Chen Zetao.  

After the two of them got married, they planned to go back to their respective homes to show their partner to their families. It happened that the two of them came from the same city, so it was convenient to not have to travel to two different places.  

So Yemi and the others, who were one step late, had no chance, and had to wait until next year to go back.  

Knowing that she didn’t have to face Jing Ziheng’s parents right away, Ye Mi breathed a sigh of relief.  It was okay, just now he almost scared her to death.  By the time they had eaten their fill, it was completely dark.  

The cold wind was blowing outside, and the temperature in the room was not high.  

Ye Mi wanted to go back to bed and lie down early, but Jing Ziheng ordered her to memorize the text before going to bed.  In order to rest early, Ye Mi showed her potential, and actually memorized a short essay with thousands of words in only fifteen minutes.  

Even Jing Ziheng was shocked.  

“Finished memorizing.” Ye Mi happily wanted to climb up on the bed, but was stopped by Jing Ziheng.”Wait, let me test you first.”  

He first asked Ye Mi to recite it from the beginning, and after he was sure that she had memorized everything verbatim, he selected some fragments from the middle to test Ye Mi’s ability to catch on.  

Ye Mi needed to stop and think from time to time, but she was basically able to answer correctly.  

Jing Ziheng had to admit that his family’s naughty little girl had a really good memory.  

“So it’s not that you’re not smart, it’s just that you didn’t focus on your studies.” Teacher Jing sighed.  

Then it was decided on the spot that Yemi’s daily study task would be to recite a text in addition to writing big characters.  

Yemi: “…”  

The smile faded away.  

Would she even get to eat more almonds?  

She regretted it.  

Teacher Jing said no, and distributed the reward to Yemi on the spot.  

The little girl smiled immediately while holding the salty fried almonds, temporarily forgetting the pain of increasing her learning tasks.  

It’s a pity that the serious teacher Jing refused to let her eat it that night: “You have already finished brushing your teeth, and you won’t be able to digest nuts if you eat them at night, so eat them tomorrow.”  

“Okay.” Anyway, the almonds were in her arms and couldn’t run away

…………….  

Maybe it was because she wanted to wear new clothes urgently. The next night, Chen Chunxiang sent a pile of fabrics and a large bag of cotton.  She said she wanted beautiful clothes, but in fact she chose practical fabric.  

Ye Mi decided to make her two pairs of cotton trousers, a cotton coat, and two small clothes for her to wear inside.
