Chapter 263 The Drama of Life

Ning Xiyue looked at the child with eyes full of desire, and her eyes lit up when she mentioned the word "taller". She cared a lot about growing taller, and the expectant look in her eyes made her unable to refuse.

She waved to Li Xiaodong and asked him to come closer. Li Xiaodong took small steps and moved himself and the bench to the side of Ning Xiyue, holding a pencil and a notebook in his hands. He looked at Ning Xiyue without blinking and listened attentively, waiting for her to write down what she said in the notebook and use it every day.

"I'll tell you the most powerful secret. Eat whatever your parents give you, don't be picky about food, run more, jump more, find a rope and jump every day, and often stand on tiptoes and jump up like I do. Jump whenever you have nothing to do. You will grow taller as you jump. This is called jumping, but it should be done in moderation, not excessively."

Ning Xiyue looked at him very seriously and demonstrated the movements to him.

Although genes have a great influence on height, and although this method is known to many people in later generations and is considered ineffective, a twelve-year-old child is at the age of bone growth and development. Jumping more will promote faster bone growth in children, thereby achieving the goal of growing taller.

If you start exercising regularly at the age of twelve and stick to it for a long time, you will at least grow taller than if you do nothing, even if you don't exceed your genetic limit. It mainly promotes bone growth and development.

Li Xiaodong, who was standing next to him, believed it without a doubt and wrote down every word Ning Xiyue said carefully. He even tried to dance along when Ning Xiyue demonstrated. He secretly made up his mind that he would dance every day and all the time, and he would dance as he walked.

After listening and writing, Li Xiaodong walked to the side and jumped silently by himself.

"This child wants to grow taller so badly that he's thinking about how to grow taller every day." Shen Qingxia sighed and smiled when she saw her son's silly look. She turned around and took Ning Xiyue's hand: "Xiyue, come on, follow me into the house. I'll tell you the secret I mentioned this afternoon. I'm sure you'll be surprised."

Ning Xiyue obediently followed Shen Qingxia into the house. No one knew what secret she was going to tell her. It was kept mysterious from the afternoon until now, and finally she was going to be told it, which successfully aroused her curiosity.

After entering the house, Shen Qingxia let go of Ning Xiyue's hand, "Xiyue, wait for me."

Ning Xiyue watched her walk to the closet, open it and look for something. After a moment, she took out a large box from the bottom of the clothes and walked to Ning Xiyue with a smile on her face, holding the box.

"The secret I'm going to tell you is in here. Wait for me to open it and show it to you. Be prepared."

Ning Xiyue cooperated by covering her heart and making exaggerated expressions.

"It's already done. I've been working on it for most of the day since this afternoon. Aunt Chen, please stop teasing me. I'm itching like a cat scratching me. I really want to know what secret you're going to tell me. Please understand that young people are very curious and reveal it quickly."

"Okay, I'll definitely let you know this time. I won't keep you in suspense."

Shen Qingxia opened the box in her hand with a smile and took out a booklet from it.

Ning Xiyue had more and more doubts in her heart. What secrets about her could this booklet contain?

She tilted her head and took a closer look. It turned out to be a photo album, but she didn't recognize the people in it.

Shen Qingxia flipped through the pages one by one, with a faint smile on her lips all the time, and stopped at the middle page.

She handed the photo album to Ning Xiyue, pointed at one of the photos and asked, "Xiyue, does the person in this photo look familiar to you?"

Ning Xiyue shifted her gaze over and her pupils dilated. This man looked more than familiar. Was this the young version of Comrade Ji? She recognized it at once.

The eyebrows and outline have not changed at all, the only difference is the bright smile on his face. It is slightly different from now. He smiles like a big fool, and I don't know what interesting thing he saw.

Comrade Ji at that time looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with some baby fat still on his face, and his smile was quite cute.

“And this one.”

Shen Qingxia turned to the next page and pointed to a photo of a child wearing open-crotch pants and a diaper.

You can tell from the kid’s features that he is Comrade Ji. He is lying on the ground with his butt sticking out and his brows furrowed, looking at the ladybug seriously.

In addition to being impressed by the photographer's excellent skills, Ning Xiyue was also touched by the cute expressions of the young version of Comrade Ji.

However, after Ning Xiyue saw these two photos, her mind was filled with thoughts. She never expected that the first time she saw Comrade Ji's childhood photos was in this place, in the photo album of an aunt she met on the first day.

What is the relationship between Aunt Shen and Comrade Ji? What relatives?

She felt a little more nervous for some reason.

Ning Xiyue looked at Shen Qingxia who was smiling at her and asked in confusion: "Aunt Shen, what are these two photos?"

Shen Qingxia touched the person in the photo and said, "The person in the photo is my nephew, Ji Yanming."

Ning Xiyue was stunned. She was caught off guard and had to meet the parents without any preparation. It seemed that the elder knew about it before her, which made her a little dazed for a moment.

"You, have you known this for a long time?"

This was the first time they met under such circumstances, and she didn't know if she had any bad impression left on her. Ning Xiyue kept recalling the scenes of their previous interactions in her mind.

"Host, I can guarantee that this aunt has a very good impression of you, even likes you very much, and has not left a bad impression."

Then she felt relieved.

Shen Qingxia in front of him showed a kind smile on her face, held Ning Xiyue's hand and whispered softly:

"The secret I want to tell you is this. I am Ji Yanming's aunt, but not his biological daughter. I was originally the daughter of his grandfather's comrade-in-arms. Because my parents died, I was adopted by his grandparents and became his aunt.

But the relationship between us is better than that of blood relatives. When A-Ming was a child, he always liked to follow me around. Later, when I returned to my hometown to work, we met less often, but we often kept in touch through letters. In fact, I knew that you two were dating not long ago. ”

Shen Qingxia took out another letter from the box and handed it to Ning Xiyue, motioning her to open it and read. She continued talking while Ning Xiyue was reading.

"Just one day earlier than you. I received a letter from this brat yesterday. It's the one you're holding in your hand. He said his girlfriend and brother-in-law were working in the countryside here, and asked me to take care of them for a while."

Shen Qingxia became a little excited when she said this.

"Isn't it a coincidence? The names above sounded familiar to me. When I put the letter away, I saw the letter your Aunt Lin wrote to me before. I immediately remembered you two siblings. I thought it was a coincidence, but when I opened the letters and compared them, I found that the names on the two letters were the same, even the single characters. I realized that the people Ah Ming was talking about were the two siblings I knew before. What a coincidence today."

Shen Qingxia had never encountered such a coincidence in her life. This was even more exciting than the stories in the storytelling. When she learned about another coincidence while having dinner tonight, she was shocked and very surprised.

This relationship can also be connected in this way.

After reading the letter, Ning Xiyue had to admit that life was so dramatic and full of dog-blood stories. Everyone she knew was a family.

At first, I visited the elder's friends with the intention of using connections, but later I found out that this elder was the family of my friend, and finally I found out that this elder was the family of my new boyfriend. This relationship is really outrageous, people who are not related at all are now one family.

It's really outrageous in life.

No wonder when I first met Comrade Ji he said he came here on the way. I guess he came here to visit relatives and see his aunt.

It seems that Comrade Ji also contributed to the success of what she and her second brother did today. Aunt Shen’s liking for them may also be due to her love for the whole family?

She has one more relationship here.

At the same time, Ning Xiyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not Comrade Ji’s mother, otherwise it would be a ridiculous story.

"I am so happy to meet you two today. I received the letter yesterday and met you in person today. I am so excited."

Shen Qingxia did not hide her likes and happiness. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became. She pulled Ning Xiyue aside and talked incessantly.

"After meeting you, I like you even more. You are smart, knowledgeable, and efficient. You don't need me to look after you at all. You can live a prosperous life on your own. I will handle the matter you came to me for today in a businesslike manner. Don't feel burdened."

"Thank you Auntie Shen, I am really surprised. This secret came so suddenly. It was really unexpected."

Ning Xiyue looked down at the photo of Comrade Ji in the album. How could she feel any burden? Even if this matter was accomplished because of Comrade Ji, she would only be happy.

Sometimes connections are also part of strength. Why should she be unhappy about enjoying this convenience? It’s not a bad thing.
