“Get dressed already!” Xu Zhengyong’s motions became frantic as he put on his clothes.
If one person was scolding him, it was risky enough but when two people were nagging him together, he needed to hurry, or his father would get his whip.
After Xu Zhengyong was dressed, he smiled at Wei Ruo and said, “Ruoruo, it’s been a long time. How come you’re shorter now?”
Hearing his words, Wei Ruo wanted to jump up and give him a good smack on his forehead.
“It’S not because I’ve gotten shorter, you’ve just grown too fast!” Wei Ruo said
irritably.
Over the past year, Wei Ruo herself had grown taller, which was a normal rate of growth for this time of her life.
However, compared to Xu Zhengyong, her growth was far less. Xu Zhengyong was at the age when boys grow tall rapidly. Having drilled in the army for half a year, and training hard every day, his height had soared.
Originally, he was only half a head taller than Wei Ruo. Now, he had grown more than a head taller, and Wei Ruo only came up to his shoulders.
Even amongst females, Wei Ruo was not considered short. Simply, Xu Zhengyong had grown too fast and too tall.
Xu Zhengyong scratched his head: “That’s true.”
Turning to Xiumei, he asked, “Junior sister, look how tall I have become now.
Don’t you respect me as your senior brother?
Xiumei retorted gruffly, “What’s the use of being only tall? You’re not getting any smarter. In this cold weather, you’re wearing so little. Even if you get a cold, no matter how tall you are, you’ll still need medicine and it will cost money.”
“Junior sister, you’re not fair. My height is advantageous. I’m strong now. I can knock down two of those short Japanese pirates with one punch!” Xu Zhengyong demonstrated with his fist.
-Where did you find Japanese pirates to fight with? I heard recently they’re quite peaceful and not causing trouble,” Xiumei argued.
“Those little brats, if it weren’t for our shipbuilding technology being insufficient, I’d go straight to their home base! rd destroy their lair so they wouldn’t have the chance to disturb our land anymore!”
Xu Zhengyong bristled with indignation when he talked about the Japanese pirates.
Hearing his voice, the wet nurse coming from the house said to Xu Zhengyong, “It’s cold outside, why don’t you ask the young lady to come in?”
Xu Zhengyong hurriedly complied: “Ruoruo, hurry in before you catch cold. If you freeze, my mother would chop me up for firewood!”
Wei Ruo laughed, “Nanny, it’s not that cold these past few days. Let me stay outside and get some fresh air. It’s boring to stay inside all day.” “Alright, then I’ll go get a chair for you,” the wet nurse quickly went back into the house to fetch a chair for Wei Ruo.
Xu Zhengyong said with a laugh, “See, Ruoruo’s words are always the most effective. She speaks once and it matters more than a hundred words that I say.”
Wei Ruo said, “If you wouldn’t be so mischievous, others might listen to you
more.”
Xu Zhengyong chuckled and scratched his head.
From the side, Xiumei muttered, “Xu Zhengyong, don’t tell me you’re acting like this in the military too? I fear your subordinates won’t respect you!
