Children grow quickly, especially when they enter a period of rapid growth that occurs at puberty. In four years, they all changed drastically.
The changes to the five children were very obvious. The oldest, Shao Dong and Shao Xi, are 17 years old and almost 18. Their height had already surpassed Mu Jingzhe.
In just two years, they had soared to 1.80 meters. From the looks of it, they will continue to grow.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Jingzhe felt that they had grown taller. Their clothes will always be short quickly. Sometimes, after buying new clothes, if they do not wear them on time, they will get bigger in two to three months.
The change in the duo made Mu Jingzhe truly feel the sight of his children growing up.
Now that they had grown taller, their facial features had also changed. They have spunky eyebrows, and their nasal stems are tall and straight, which makes them look rather heroic. Their facial features were similar to Shao Qihai's, but combined with Bai Lu's characteristics, they looked fresher.
Children their age really have the most power. Every time Mu Jingzhe saw them, he felt a young aura flowing over him.
Thinking that they had been raised by him, he could not hide his pride.
Shao Dong and Shao Xi's height had basically increased by almost the same speed. Because they are twins, their appearance is still similar. However, their disposition was completely different.
Shao Dong was very steady. Just like when he was young, he looked like a young adult, reserved and very serious when dealing with outsiders. Over the past few years, his aura had become more domineering, making it impossible for anyone to retaliate.
Even Mu Han, his uncle, said that whenever Shao Dong's face darkened lately, he would feel his hair standing up and he would not dare to say anything.
However, Shao Dong would only do that to outsiders, not to his family or Mu Jingzhe. When he saw Mu Jingzhe, he would always smile before saying anything. Every time he smiled, his entire disposition would soften. Therefore, he was a big boss for outsiders, but when he came home, he was a good little boy around his family.
"Mama." Shao Dong was the same this time. He called her 'Mother' first and looked at her with smiling eyes. Mu Jingzhe could not help but laugh.
Shao Dong's stuttering had not disappeared. Although he no longer cared, he still did not like talking outside of the ordinary. But when he had to talk, he was never afraid.
He did not mind his stuttering, nor did he mind the gazes of others. Instead, he became increasingly calm.
Next to Shao Dong was Shao Xi. Shao Xi was fairer and gave a completely different vibe from Shao Dong. He's not serious but he's excited. As he smiled, he looked handsome and exuded a badboy aura. In the middle of the crowd, one could always see it at first sight.
Shao Xi was now famous for his ferocious tongue, and his mischievous appearance made many people go crazy over him.
However, in front of Mu Jingzhe, Shao Xi was truly childish. No matter how many years had passed, she was still the same around Mu Jingzhe and she continued to compete for his help.
Shao Xi wanted to hug Mu Jingzhe, but Shao Nan pushed her away.
They had turned fifteen this year, so it was inevitable for Shao Nan and Shao Bei to grow taller. Also, Shao Nan was still on stage when her voice changed. Because his voice was unpleasant, he did not like to talk anymore.
Moreover, since he had laughed at Shao Xi during the previous period of Shao Xi's voice change, he would be ridiculed by Shao Xi as soon as he opened his mouth. Therefore, he will use actions instead of speech to express himself if possible.
After becoming a bit myopic due to reading too much, Shao Nan started wearing glasses. He had a pair of black-framed glasses and a pair of gold-framed glasses, and each pair made Shao Nan give off a different aura.
The black-framed glasses were elegant and refined. At a glance, one could tell that he was a star student and a school boy. He looked harmless wearing those glasses.
However, every time he wore gold-framed glasses, he looked like a degenerate person. She rarely wears gold-framed glasses, as she usually wears black-framed ones.
Since he had suffered enough before Shao Nan, Shao Xi was about to argue after being eliminated. However, Shao Nan only let Little Bei advance.
As he looked at Little Bei, Mu Jingzhe's smile widened, and he lifted Little Bei into his arms. Little Bei was both happy and embarrassed. "Mom, I'm an adult now."
"It's okay. I can carry you even if you are 20 or 30 years old.”
The children could not help but laugh as they looked from the side. Little Bei was their precious little sister, and Mu Jingzhe was their beloved mother. They were naturally just happy that the two of them were so close.
"Mom, I'm here too." Xiao Wu followed, opening his hand. “I also want a hug.”
Xiao Wu was 13 years old and had grown much taller. His facial features continued to develop slowly and became more beautiful. He had long curly hair and skin so bright that it looked radiant, like Prince Charming in a book.
When Mu Jingzhe saw Xiao Wu, a puzzled look flashed across his eyes. Xiao Wu seemed to be becoming increasingly like Ji Buwang.
Or rather, he was similar to elder brother Ji Buwang. But since the two brothers looked like twin brothers, he was also similar to Ji Buwang.
Xiao Wu's facial features became more similar to him now that they had progressed a little. Maybe that resemblance will grow as he grows up.
However, there are also some differences. For example, disposition. Even though he was young, Xiao Wu was already a little man. He is still like the old days—taat, likes to smile, and is famous for his politeness.
Mu Jingzhe reached out and hugged Xiao Wu. “Xiao Wu will also be taller than me. I'll be the shortest person in the family from now on.”
Who would have thought? In just a few years, he became the shortest. Although she was feeling happy, Mu Jingzhe sighed in her heart.
“It's okay, Mom. If you want to touch my hair, I can squat.” Xiao Wu lowered his head as he replied.
"unneeded. I can tiptoe.” Mu Jingzhe pulled them in. "Alright, come in and eat."
“Bu, if mom is busy, I can go back and cook,” Shao Dong said.
"No, I have time."
The family ate and shared what happened today at the dinner table. The atmosphere was quite lively.
After Mu Jingzhe listened to them and told them what he had done, he casually asked about Xiao Wu's confrontation on TV.
“Xiao Wu, is there something wrong with that Zhao man? It seems you don't like it very much.”
When Mu Jingzhe asked, everyone stopped to look at Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was different from his brothers and had a good personality. Under normal circumstances, he would not be angry. It was rare for him to act like Shao Xi, but on TV shows, his sharp tongue made the man's face purple with just a few words.
Xiao Wu stopped. "No. I just don't like it.”
Xiao Wu occasionally appeared on television. Usually he would meet good people, but this time he met someone who was ignorant.
That Zhao person was actually an old acquaintance of the Ji Family who knew about Ji Buwang and Mu Jingzhe and was aware that Ji Buwang had passed away. He hypocritically comforted Xiao Wu for a while and then changed the subject and actually expressed his interest in Mu Jingzhe.
His words were not very polite and actually angered Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu also has his family's 1 reverse— scale. He is protective of his loved ones and cannot be provoked when it comes to the people he cares about. He usually looked grumpy, but when he was angry, he was very scary.
