Wei Zhi looked at the two children in surprise, then glanced at Mr. Zhuang and asked with a smile, "How old are you this year?"
Bai Shanbao proudly said, "I'm eight years old!"
Manbao added, "That's in nominal age!"
Bai Shanbao: "...you're only six years old!"
Manbao snorted and said, "I'll soon be older than you, girls grow faster than boys."
Wei Zhi burst into laughter and asked, "Who told you that?"
Manbao boasted, "My friend!"
Of course, the friend was Keke.
Perhaps the land and water of Qili Village suited Bai Shanbao well. Since last year, he had grown rapidly. Initially, he was only half a head taller than Manbao, but now he was nearly a head taller.
During their last quarrel, Manbao had hit him in anger, and when they fought, she found it much harder to take him down, almost biting him in the end.
At that time, Keke had comforted her, saying in two years she would grow faster than Bai Shanbao because girls generally develop earlier than boys.
