Rarity couldn't believe it, and didn't want to accept it.

   Fortunately, his sister was still there, so Rarity got a gift from her sister—a pink three-layer gauze skirt.

  My sister said that she had saved money for this dress for a long time before hiring someone to make it according to the design she drew.

   In this world, skirts are rare and rare!

   Putting on this little skirt, he can become the prettiest boy in the family!

   It will definitely be more loved by parents!

   So Rarity believed her sister's words, and immediately put on this pink dress that represented her sister's love for him.

  When Lan Shu and Xiao Bai returned home and could finally catch their breath, the son they saw had already been successfully dressed up as a pink and tender doll by the daughter...

  Xiao Bai was startled when he saw this scene.

  When Lan Shu saw such a son, her first reaction was to think that she and Xiaobai had really good genes, the daughter they had was beautiful, and the son was also cute~!

  Although Rarity is a boy and shouldn't wear a small skirt, Rarity's appearance in a skirt is as good as that of Xiao Qingning when she was a child!

  It’s so cute—

  Finally, the birthday that Rarity had been thinking about so much, the family still organized a make-up for him.

   Originally, her birthday in mid-August was scheduled for the end of August, before Xiao Qingning started school.

   Lan Shu ordered a cake for her son, and Xiao Bai gave him a large set of building blocks.

  Rarui is wearing a small white shirt, black overalls, and a small bow tie. She is a cute and handsome two-year-old doll.

   After eating the sweet cake, Rarity clapped her hands happily, cheered and danced, almost flying!

  Ruirui also liked the building blocks that my father gave me, and I couldn't put it down and played with them for several days.

   Gu Qingning, who was the elder sister, watched from the side, feeling a little regretful in her heart.

  I gave my younger brother a beautiful little dress, and my younger brother has only worn it for a day.

   Fortunately, she took a film camera to take a picture of her brother wearing a small skirt, and the photo will be ready in a few days.

  Lanshu and Xiaobai's family, from a family of three to a family of four, Rarity's arrival brought more joy to their family~!

   Gu Qingning is also like what she said to Meng Dabao at the beginning, after having a younger brother, she likes him very much and will take the initiative to take care of him.

   In this way, the younger brother will naturally like her sister very much.

  …

   On the other side, Meng Dabao's half-sister is also over two years old.

  The little girl is lively, smart and healthy.

  The two-year-old girl speaks quite fluently. Because of her good health, she seldom gets sick.

   On the contrary, Meng Dabao, the elder brother, is eleven years old and has grown into a big child, but he still experiences a severe cold and fever every month on average.

   Fortunately, his asthma, which was the root cause of his illness since he was a child, has almost never had an attack.

   This can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

  Because Meng Dabao is always very kind to his younger sister, whenever he has free time, he will play with her, so his younger sister Meng Xiaoxiao is closer to her brother than to her parents!

  In late September, the weather changed recently, and the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.

  Meng Dabao caught a cold after school, and when he got home, he had a fever that night—

  Meng Xiaoxiao, who is two and a half years old, is usually at her bedtime at this time, but today she saw her brother sick and uncomfortable, and refused to go back to the room with her mother to sleep no matter what, she must stay with her brother!

  At home, no amount of persuasion by a group of adults will work.

   So Sun Yuan had no choice but to put a small pillow next to Dabao's bed and let her daughter sleep here.

   After Meng Xiaoxiao fell asleep, she was carried back into the house.

   On the second day, Meng Dabao's fever improved a bit, but Meng Xiaoxiao was infected and also developed a fever.

   Fortunately, the little girl's fever is not high.

   And even if she has a fever, she will run around her brother with a smile, as if she will feel happy when she sees him.

  After Meng Dabao recovered from his illness, he went to play with Xiao Qingning again, and talked about how much his sister cared about him.

   And Xiao Qingning didn't show weakness, and listed 123 of his brother's cuteness, and said them all.

   Watching the two of them showing off their younger sister and younger brother, one envied Lan Juncheng who was on the sidelines!

  He also wants a younger brother and sister.

  But the parents said that raising him was already very difficult, and it broke their hearts. They really didn't have the energy and courage to have another child.

  Thus, Lan Juncheng was doomed to be the only child.

  Although he has no biological siblings, Cousin Qingning's younger brother, Gu Zerui, is also his cousin.

  So Lan Juncheng would come to play at his cousin's house when he was free, and tease his little cousin by the way.

  Rui Rui also likes this cousin very much. Even though the two boys are nine years apart in age, they are surprisingly able to play together sometimes.

   Just like that, Gu Qingning, Meng Dabao, and Lan Juncheng, three friends who were about the same age, brought their two younger brothers and sisters, and gradually grew up.

  …

  Three years later, the fourteen-year-old Gu Qingning is now a second-year student.

  Lan Juncheng also entered the first year of junior high school, and was in the same school as Gu Qingning.

  Only Meng Dabao is still in the fourth grade of elementary school.

   According to the normal situation, Meng Dabao should be in the sixth grade now.

   But because of Meng Dabao's poor academic performance, when he was in primary school, he was left behind two grades, and he fell behind his little friend academically by a large margin.

  Fourteen-year-old Meng Dabao is not very smart, but he knows that he is not good enough to study.

  Meng Dabao was very troubled, why couldn’t he be as smart as his friends, and could learn everything?

  And his family members didn't mean to rush his studies at all.

   On the contrary, it seems that he can go to the fourth grade of elementary school, which seems to be very remarkable~!

   This made Meng Dabao, a little fool, extra rebellious during the rebellious period!

  He always feels that his parents and grandparents don't care about him.

  Maybe if they are stricter with themselves, their studies will be better.

  So fourteen-year-old Meng Dabao became tired of studying and skipping classes after realizing that he would not succeed in his studies.

  Even in school, those students who are younger than him but are in higher grades than him, as long as someone tells him that he is stupid, he can impulsively fight with them!

   Therefore, Meng Dabao, who is fourteen years old and has not yet graduated from primary school, is often called a parent by the teacher.

  The teachers who taught him even euphemistically told Meng Heng and Sun Yuan many times that they thought it would be impossible for their children to simply go to school, and it would be better to suspend school and stay at home.

  In this day and age, many jobs require little or no academic qualifications.

  So there are indeed some half-grown children in remote rural areas or county towns who drop out of school when they are fourteen or fifteen years old and enter society early.

  They will find a subsistence job outside, and they will spend their whole life working for others.

  Although Meng Heng didn't want his son to live a life that could be seen at a glance, his son's situation really couldn't be forced.

  So after careful consideration, instead of letting his son fight and play truant at school, Meng Heng might as well come out and get in touch with the society earlier to hone his temper and willpower.
