Chapter 113: Growing Taller (1/2)
Tang Jinyu seldom filed complaints, but this time he told his brother all about it.
Xia Ye asked again, but after hearing that his brother's focus was on his classmates' height, he said to him: ”I will take you to eat bone soup later, and you will grow taller if you eat more.”
Tang Jinyu was unhappy, up until he was eating, but once he heard his brother say that he had been drinking bone soup in middle school to grow tall, he then regained his energy and cheered up.
After dinner, Tang Jinyu followed Xia Ye, begging for a small glass of ice-cola skillfully, and drank the coke to see the small fishes.
The fish in the water made him really happy, and soon his mood improved.
Xia Ye has already ”delivered” the little fish, and moved the newly hatched fry to the aquarium where water has been placed on the side. The whole body of the newly born fry was almost transparent, and only the eyes of the fish were slightly colored. Swimming back and forth. The fish looked small, but it was quite able to grow. More than twenty fry were born in one breath.
Xia Ye brought special fish food over and helped him grind the solid fish food into powder and feed it to the fishes, ”When he grows up, you can feed them a little, and you don't have to crush the food so much. Just feed them carefully for a period of time, and they will be just fine”
Although this kind of fish was often seen in the river, it was very difficult to raise it in captivity. For this reason, Xia Ye asked many people from aquarium stores and pet hospitals for advice and took care of them very carefully.
Xia Ye went to the kitchen to cut fruits, and Tang Jinyu held his chin and talked to the little fishes, ”You guys eat more, you can grow bigger if you eat more!”
Xia Ye brought the fruit over, heard the little guy chanting, and fed him a strawberry while asking: ”How tall do you want to grow?”
Tang Jinyu’s cheeks swelled as he ate a strawberry, and gestured, ”Eighteen meters!”
Xia Ye laughed and rubbed his head, ”Well, let's set a small goal first. I will measure you every time you come, and I will make your small wish come true if you grow at least one centimeter.”
Tang Jinyu's eyes lit up, ”Brother, really?”
Xia Ye nodded.
Tang Jinyu asked Xia Ye to measure him on the spot. He habitually stood at the wall on the other side of the corridor, stood up straight and held up his chest, waiting for his brother to measure. Xia Ye took a measurement tape for him, and the two of them stood close. Xia Ye was almost the little guy in his arms, and carefully measured him and said: ”16 4.5 cm.”
Tang Jinyu was content with this, ”Did I grow taller? Then I can use a little bit of it for my wish.”
Xia Ye looked down at him, and was infected by his simple happiness, with a smile in his eyes, ”Well, you can make a wish with 0.5 centimeters, what do you want?”
Tang Jinyu looked up at him, his eyes gleaming, as if he wanted to say something but was embarrassed to say it.
Xia Ye has been with him for too long, and he knew what the little guy was thinking at first glance. He leaned over and pinched the tip of his nose and said: ”It's not good in winter. It's too cold. When the weather gets warmer, I will take you there, but I will ask if they have an indoor ice sculpture exhibition in April or May.”
Tang Jinyu let out a ”wow” and jumped up to hug his brother. Xia Ye held him firmly in a hug, but after only a few seconds, he let go: ”Eat well, and when you grow taller, I will take you there.”
”Hmm, brother, you are the best!”
Soon it was not just Xia Ye helping him grow taller, the whole family began to help Tang Jinyu grow taller, trying to make more foods that are easy to absorb calcium. Xia Ye would take him to exercise on weekends when he was not practicing the piano. Tang Jinyu would let his fingers practice a lot, and after practicing the piano, his fingers became more flexible and he was able to do more things. One of the happiest things to do was follow Xia Ye to learn indoor rock climbing. The young man's body was flexible enough, like a dexterous kitten. His movements were fast and good.
With the efforts of the whole family, his developmental period, which was three years late, began.
One day when he got up, Tang Jinyu's throat felt uncomfortable, and he spoke hoarsely, and then his appetite obviously increased when he went home for dinner during the day. In the past, he could only eat more when Xia Ye ate with him, but now the child can finish two bowls of rice by himself. In the evening, the occasional leg cramps would cause him to wake up in pain. When Tang Jinyu experienced this, he knew that he was going to grow taller, and he felt happy every day, and drank his milk in the morning and evening on time.
Xia Ye's company has been busy recently and hasn't come back for a while. When he took some time to pick up his brother from school on the weekend, he found that the little guy had grown taller.
Tang Jinyu put his head against his arm, gestured, and said excitedly: ”Brother, look, did I grow taller again?”
Xia Ye was still looking at him. Not only his height, but also his eyebrows seemed to be a little longer. He stretched his hand over, and the little guy habitually put his face on his palm, smiling wide that his eyes were bent, looking like he was waiting for praise.
Xia Ye also smiled, and the likability was exactly the same as when he was a child. He nodded and said, ”Yes, you have grown taller, I almost can't recognize you.”
Tang Jinyu said with joy: ”This isn’t the end of it, I will grow taller!”
