Chapter 262 The secret to growing taller?
"Comrade Li?"
Ning Qingyuan and his sister shouted in surprise when they saw someone coming in.
I never thought that Aunt Chen’s brother-in-law is Comrade Li. This really proves the saying that there are surprises and coincidences everywhere in life.
What a coincidence, with so many twists and turns in the relationship, is this the power of marriage in China?
"Comrade Xiyue, brother Qingyuan, long time no see."
Li Feng smiled and nodded, not surprised to see acquaintances here. When he first met Li Xiaodong, he knew from him that there was a sister Xiyue and a brother Qingyuan here today. The same name might not be the same person, but if the two names are the same and they are siblings, then they must be people he knows.
Ning Qingyuan was really surprised by this fate today: "Brother Li, it's such a coincidence that we meet today as guests. It's so unexpected."
"I thought I was hallucinating." Ning Xiyue almost thought she had misheard when she heard the familiar voice just now.
"Do you know each other?"
Shen Qingxia looked back and forth between the three people and asked curiously.
"Yes, we have known each other for a long time, Aunt Chen, do you think this is fate? You are Aunt Lin's friend, Comrade Li is my and my second brother's friend, and Comrade Li is your brother-in-law. This is really fate, I have never seen a better coincidence than this."
"It's fate. There are even greater coincidences." Shen Qingxia muttered quietly, and no one else could hear it clearly.
"What? Mom, what did you say? When are we going to have dinner? The food is almost cold."
Li Xiaodong reminded him, staring at the bacon and dumplings on the table, concentrating on eating. Nothing was more important than eating.
"Yes, let's eat first, and then sit down and chat slowly after the meal." Li Chunlai, an outsider, looked left and right but couldn't find a way to interrupt. After hearing his son's words, he immediately asked everyone to sit down and eat.
"How about we fry some of this beef?" Comrade Li raised the meat in his hand in front of everyone.
"You guys eat first, I'll go fry it."
Shen Qingxia stood up and was about to take the meat, but Ning Xiyue, who was sitting next to her, grabbed her arm to stop her, then stood up and forced her to sit down.
“No, Aunt Shen, there’s no need to fry them. There are enough here. Let’s all sit down and eat dumplings. I have been looking forward to the dumplings we make today for a long time.”
"Yes, Aunt Chen, no need to trouble you." Ning Qingyuan looked at her sincerely and nodded.
"Okay, let's eat. Stop working. Come and have a taste. These two kids brought the bacon, and we made the dumplings together."
After being persuaded, Shen Qingxia sat down and began to invite everyone to eat, and introduced the food on the table to everyone. After a busy afternoon, we finally had dinner.
The two children were eating the most seriously. No matter what you adults said, it was none of their business. They just sat down quietly and ate the dumplings in their bowls and the meat and vegetables on the table.
Not distracting at all.
The other adults only chatted occasionally, and most of them were eating seriously. They were all familiar people, so everyone was relaxed, which was also an alternative way to achieve Ning Qingyuan's wish of making sure all guests had a good time.
After dinner, they didn't leave but sat together chatting. Li Xiaodong quietly walked to Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan and asked in a low voice.
"Brother, sister, do you have any way to grow taller? Can you tell me? I also want to grow taller."
This sister is almost a head taller than her mother, and this brother is even taller. If he grows as tall as this older brother, he will be afraid of what others say and will just ignore them based on his height.
Although Li Xiaodong is lively and carefree, he is not confident about his height. As a twelve-year-old boy, he is only 1.35 meters tall, which is neither tall nor short.
He was a few centimeters shorter than other kids of the same age, so some of his friends always made fun of his height. He pretended not to care, but he took it to heart and secretly looked for the secret to grow taller.
If someone says that eating something can make him taller, he is willing to try it no matter how unpalatable it is, just to grow taller, and his friends will slap him in the face.
Now seeing that Ning Xiyue and her brother have grown very tall, the thoughts in my mind started to stir as soon as they entered the door.
"You will grow taller too." Ning Qingyuan continued with a smile, "When my brother was twelve years old, he was about the same height as you. Look, he is this tall now."
"Really? Can I grow that tall? There's really no secret." Li Xiaodong walked up to Ning Qingyuan and looked up at him. He was a little doubtful whether he could grow that tall.
Ning Xiyue, who was standing next to him, could tell at a glance that the child was eager to grow taller, and said with certainty: "Yes, I have a lot of secrets to growing taller."
"Sister Xiyue, can you tell me everything? It doesn't need to be too much, just tell me one or two secrets."
Li Xiaodong looked at Ning Xiyue with sparkling eyes, hoping to learn the secret to growing taller. He wanted to learn it quickly and grow as tall as Brother Qingyuan to blind those who laughed at him behind his back and avenge his previous shame. Humph!
