Song Darong glanced at the two brothers, then turned to them and said softly, "Xingxing, Dad bought you a dress. Try it on and see if it looks good."
Song Fanxing: ……
Her father was not only a soldier, but also a Sichuan opera face-changing actor.
Song Darong opened his bag, took out a pale yellow plaid skirt, and presented it to Song Fanxing like a treasure.
Song Fanxing felt a warm, throbbing feeling in her heart.
Fang Min stared at the dress and said, "Oh dear, this dress is too big. Xingxing can't wear it. Give it to Fangxuan."
Ye Fangxuan's eyes lit up immediately, and she looked at Song Darong with longing.
The mother and daughter were shameless, momentarily forgetting how terrifying Song Fanxing had been to them.
Song Darong was a little unhappy. "It's okay if it's too big. I can wear it for two more years."
He bought it for his daughter and didn't want to give it to anyone else.
Fang Min seemed oblivious to others' expressions and continued, "It's too big to wear comfortably, so let Fangxuan wear it first. Next year, when Fangxuan can't fit into it anymore, we'll give it to Xingxing."
Song Darong: "Fangxuan is as tall as the stars, isn't she?"
"Fangxuan can fill out the dress, but Xingxing is too thin and can't."
Ye Fangxuan stared longingly, wishing she could just grab the skirt.
Song Fanxing took the dress, her gaze sweeping lightly over Ye Fangxuan.
"I'm afraid my cousin will tear my dress."
After saying that, she grabbed the skirt and ran to the outhouse.
There was no other way; there was only one room in the house, and she was too embarrassed to change clothes in front of her father, after all, she had the soul of an adult inside her body.
She ran into the outhouse, changed her skirt, and came back inside.
Song Darong smiled broadly, "Yes, it looks good. My Xingxing is beautiful, she looks good in anything."
The Song brothers, Yaohui and Yaohua, also came out of the kitchen. Seeing their sister wearing a new dress, they showed no jealousy or fuss.
Song Yaohua clicked his tongue and said, "My little sister looks so good in a dress. When I grow up and make money, I'll buy her lots of dresses."
Although Song Yaohui didn't say anything, he was secretly competing with Song Yaohua in his heart. He wanted to buy more dresses than his younger brother so that his sister couldn't wear them all and could wear a different one every day.
Ye Fangxuan was sitting on a small stool when she saw Song Fanxing looking like a fairy, and she unconsciously stood up.
The little dress is so pretty! She really wants to wear it; she'd look like a fairy in it.
Ye Fangxuan looked at Song Darong longingly, making Song Darong feel awkward.
Fang Min kept saying that Song Fanxing was too thin in this dress and it didn't look good on her.
Song Darong was furious when he heard this.
"What's wrong with my daughter? I think she's beautiful in every way."
Fang Min muttered, "I didn't say she wasn't pretty. I said she didn't look good in this dress. I think this dress suits Fang Xuan better."
"Are you saying I have bad taste? I think Xingxing looks great in this dress, it suits her very well. If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all."
Seeing that Song Darong was angry, Fang Min awkwardly shut up.
Song Fanxing wore a brand new dress, her skin was snow-white, her hair was jet black, her face was delicate, and her big eyes seemed to explode with stars when she smiled.
The father and his two sons liked it more and more as they looked at it.
Who says his daughter or sister doesn't look good in dresses? Anyone who disagrees is just jealous!
Song Darong then took out a green T-shirt and a green jacket from his luggage bag. They were both discarded military uniforms. The army had issued new uniforms, and he had brought the old ones back with him.
He threw the clothes into Song Yaohui's arms.
"Here, if you can't wear it, your brother can."
He noticed that his eldest son had grown quite a bit taller, almost 1.6 meters now, and his younger son had also grown taller.
Song Fanxing sympathized with her two older brothers, especially Song Yaohua.
Song Yaohui didn't seem to mind and put the clothes away.
Song Yaohua was upset. "Dad, this is the third time it's been handled by me. I'm not doing it!"
Song Darong glared at him, "Who told you to be born later than your brother!"
Song Yaohua pursed his lips.
"In my next life, I want to be the older brother, and I want to wear secondhand clothes."
Song Fanxing laughed. Her silly second brother, couldn't he have higher aspirations? Couldn't he wish for a new set of clothes every day in his next life?
Song Darong was also amused by his silly little son.
When Song Darong saw that his two sons were barefoot, he felt a pang of sadness.
For the first time ever, he said, "How big are your feet? I'll buy you shoes next time I come back. It's not right for you to be running around barefoot all the time!"
Song Fanxing wanted to say: Dad, if you care about your two older brothers, just say it properly. Adding a word of criticism only hurts your feelings.
However, Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua seemed to be used to Song Darong's behavior, and when they heard that Song Darong was going to buy them shoes, they visibly smiled.
Song Darong didn't show it on his face, but he still felt a little guilty.
He actually wanted to buy shoes for his two sons, but he didn't have much money left. His mother was sick and needed money, and the tuition fees he owed needed to be paid. He didn't know that Fang Jie had raised money for medical expenses and also paid the tuition fees.
After much deliberation, I decided to buy my daughter only a dress.
No matter what, my daughter always comes first.
Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua spent a long time comparing their feet to their own, but still couldn't figure out exactly how big their feet were.
Song Yaohui said directly, "Dad, we don't know our foot size. Just buy whatever you think is big enough so we can wear them for a few more years."
The eldest son is so sensible that it breaks your heart.
Soon, Fang Jie also returned from work.
Fang Jie's face lit up with a smile when she saw her husband return.
When did you get back?
"Just arrived this morning."
Have you visited Mom yet?
"Yes, I went to see it as soon as I arrived in the county town."
Moreover, Song Dalong was also there, and he told him that it was his three children who had frightened their mother like that.
