"Taller than my brother, that's how tall!"
"He's even taller than my brother."
"Brother, I want to eat two bowls of rice too, and grow taller than you."
"Okay, you will all grow taller than your brother from now on."
In their previous life, the two suffered four years of hardship at their aunt's house. Even though Xu An tried to supplement their nutrition, they were still not as tall as Xu An.
Xu Le is 1.62 meters tall and Xu Kang is 1.73 meters tall.
Xu Le's height is average for a girl; she's not considered short.
However, compared to his peers who are generally over 1.8 meters tall, Xu Kang is indeed rather short.
Xu's parents are 178 cm and 168 cm tall respectively, both considered very tall for their generation. With that gene, as long as they get enough nutrition, Xu Le should grow to 170 cm and Xu Kang to 185 cm.
Let's make this our goal for now.

After removing the firewood, the pot can be opened in about ten minutes. Usually, you can also get a perfect crispy rice crust at this time.
Sprinkle with white sugar, break the rice crust into pieces, and it becomes a tempting snack.
Lunch is usually eaten at the square table in the living room, but now that Grandma Xu has difficulty walking, Xu An used two wooden stools to prop up a board and placed it in front of Grandma Xu's bed. He then moved a few more stools, and a simple dining table was completed.
Perhaps it was because Xu An's cooking was delicious, not only did Xu Kang and Xu Le eat two large bowls, but even Grandma Xu unusually ate half a bowl of rice.
After the meal, Xu Kang and Xu Le slumped into their chairs, lifted their clothes, and called out to Xu An and Grandma Xu to look at their round bellies.
"Brother, the meat is so delicious, my tummy is so big and full."
"Brother, I like to eat meat. Pigs are so cute."
"You two little gluttons, let's continue eating meat tonight."
Grandma Xu watched the three of them interact, hesitated several times before finally not saying anything, but looked at the meat on the table and felt a dull pain in her heart.
