"Comrade Li?"
Ning Qingyuan and his sister shouted in surprise when they saw the person coming in.
I never thought that Aunt Chen's brother-in-law turned out to be Comrade Li. This really proves the saying that there are surprises and coincidences everywhere in life.
It's too coincidental, with such a complicated relationship, is this the power of marriage in China?
"Comrade Xiyue, Brother Qingyuan, long time no see."
Li Feng smiled and nodded, with no surprise on his face to see acquaintances here. When he first met Li Xiaodong, he knew from him that there was a sister Xiyue and a brother Qingyuan coming today. The same name might mean they are not the same person, but the two names are the same, and they are siblings, so they must be people he knows.
Ning Qingyuan was really surprised by this fate today: "Brother Li, it's really a coincidence that we met today. It's really 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 of them and asked curiously.
"Yes, we have known each other for a long time, Aunt Chen. Tell me, is this our fate? You are Aunt Lin's friend, Comrade Li is a friend of my second brother and me, and Comrade Li is your brother-in-law. This is really fate. I have never seen a more coincidental match than this."
"It's fate. There are even greater coincidences." Shen Qingxia muttered to herself in a low voice, 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. No coincidence or no coincidence was more important than eating.
"Yes, let's eat first, and then sit down and talk slowly after dinner." 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 held up 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 and stopped 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've been looking forward to the dumplings we're making today for a long time."
"That's right, Aunt Chen, no need to trouble you." Ning Qingyuan looked at her sincerely and nodded.
"Okay, let's eat. Stop busying yourself. Come and try it. 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. The dinner that had been busy all afternoon was finally eaten.
The two little kids 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, and everyone was relaxed. In a different way, Ning Qingyuan achieved his wish of ensuring that 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 teased him about his height. He pretended not to care, but he took it to heart and secretly searched 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 little thoughts in my heart started to play out as soon as they entered the door.
"You will grow taller too." Ning Qingyuan continued with a smile, "When I was twelve years old, my brother was about the same height as you. Look, he's this tall now too."
"Really? I can grow this tall? Is there really no secret?" Li Xiaodong walked up to Ning Qingyuan and looked up at him, doubting whether he could grow this 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 one or two secrets will be fine."
Li Xiaodong looked at Ning Xiyue with sparkling eyes, hoping to learn the secret of growing taller. He wanted to learn it quickly and grow as tall as Brother Qingyuan, so as to blind those who laughed at him behind his back and avenge his previous shame. Humph!
