Chapter 113 Blessing comes (first update)
"...I think I can eat green leafy vegetables for the rest of my life if I look like you..." Song Mingqian said awkwardly.
"Ah! Who cares?" Ping Qiong rolled her eyes, finished the last bite of the fruit platter, and then started eating braised pork.
Xia Yuanfang watched them eating so enthusiastically, pursed his lips and smiled.
She said gently: "Thank you for helping me take care of Chu Jian. She is young, ignorant, and not a genetic evolver. I know that without your care, she would not survive these three years."
Xia Chujian nodded repeatedly: "Auntie is right! At the beginning, I was really not that powerful! Thanks to Captain Ye, Master Fu, Sister Cai and Qian Qian for saving me many times! - I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Come on, I respect you.
A glass of wine!”
Xia Chujian took the opportunity to pour herself a glass of red wine and raised it to try.
Xia Yuanfang gently but firmly took the wine glass from her hand and said with a smile: "You are not old enough to drink yet. - Come, let me propose a toast to you all on behalf of our family's first meeting!"
The four teammates stood up, raised their glasses together, and drank with Xia Yuanfang.
After finishing a glass of red wine, Li Fucai said with a smile: "Xiao Chujian was actually very powerful from the beginning, so humble! So humble!"
This is in response to Xia Chujian's boastful statement, "In the beginning, I was really not that good."
Several other people laughed.
Xia Chujian pretended not to hear, and said with a smile: "Low-key, low-key, I am indeed powerful among ordinary people. But I can't compare with genetic evolvers..."
At this point, Song Mingqian said regretfully: "To be honest, it would be great if genes could evolve..."
But just stop there.
To say too much is to stab people's hearts with flying knives.
Suddenly, Ping Qiong shouted: "Today is Chu Jian's birthday, right?!"
"Oh, happy first birthday!"
"Happy birthday!"
"Happy birthday!"
"Happy birthday!"
The four teammates raised their glasses of red wine to her.
Xia Chujian blinked and realized that her teammates were actually looking for an excuse to celebrate her birthday!
No wonder they all brought such expensive gifts!
And my cheap boss never told me that he paid so much money. It was probably because of his birthday, right?
Ever since her aunt fell ill, no one has celebrated her birthday anymore...
Of course, she also kept it secret from her teammates and didn't tell them how old she was.
They didn't know her true age until this year.
Xia Yuanfang was also a little surprised and said with a smile: "You are really thoughtful. I guess it is for this reason that you came here suddenly. Come, I made a birthday cake for everyone to eat together."
With that said, Xia Yuanfang went to the kitchen and took out the birthday cake she had secretly baked.
The birthday cake was placed on a very delicate black porcelain stem plate, covered with a deep cylindrical lid.
When the lid was lifted, the eyes of everyone present widened and they could hardly breathe.
Is that a birthday cake?
No, that is a vast and magnificent landscape painting!
The base of the entire cake is covered with snow-covered mountains.
The mountains are blooming with brilliant flowers, and colorful animals are running around the mountains and flying in the clouds and mist.
The river meanders down the outer layer of the cake, like a dragon coiling around it.
"It's so beautiful! This kind of cake has never been heard of! Never seen before!"
"I want to take a picture and send it to the star network!" Song Mingqian immediately showed off his quantum optical brain.
Xia Yuanfang stopped him gently but firmly: "No, this is specially prepared for Chu Jian. I don't want others to learn from it."
Actually Xia Yuanfang said this, so he stopped taking pictures before Song and Ming Dynasties.
He shook his head regretfully and said: "Not even a single trace of such a beautiful work of art can be left... What a waste... What a waste..."
Xia Yuanfang handed a table knife to Xia Chujian: "Here, cut it up and share it with everyone."
Xia Chujian felt that Beier had a face and tried hard to maintain a calm attitude of "no big deal", but couldn't hide the pride and pride.
She took the table knife, raised it, and divided the birthday cake, which was as gorgeous as a fairy tale, into six equal portions and placed them on black porcelain plates of the same style.
Ping Qiong couldn't wait any longer. Among the six cake plates, she spotted the piece of cake with a red bird on it and said, "Is this red bird made of azalea fruit? I love it the most!"
Xia Yuanfang nodded: "It's the morning glow fruit."
Xia Chujian gave the plate of cake to Ping Qiong.
Ye Shijie, Song Mingqian and Li Fu took a plate and started tasting it without her having to do anything.
Turning around again, there were only two plates left on the table, one belonging to Xia Chujian and one belonging to Xia Yuanfang.
Xia Yuanfang pushed the plate of cake with the complete pattern of the flower on the other side in front of Xia Chu, and said softly: "This piece is specially for you."
Because there was Hibiscus flower on the plate, my teammates were very interested and did not ask for that plate.
Xia Chujian took it with a smile, dug it in with a spoon, and ate all the flowers in one bite.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said "oh", feeling extremely satisfied.
"Auntie, this Bianhua flower is still made of red glutinous rice, right? - It's so delicious! You won't get tired of it no matter how many times you eat it!"
Xia Yuanfang smiled: "The last bit of red glutinous rice at home will be gone if I want to eat it again."
"...No more? Red glutinous rice is really rare. I haven't even seen it sold in supermarkets." Song Mingqian murmured to himself, chewing hard and slowly, just thinking about the delicious food and keeping it in his mouth for a while.
Xia Chujian thought to herself that she had never seen red glutinous rice in Xingwang Supermarket, but as long as she could remember, her aunt would make delicious red glutinous rice for her every birthday.
Don't know where it came from.
Moreover, the taste of this red glutinous rice can only be described as melting in your mouth, with a slight sweetness. After eating it, your limbs will feel extremely smooth.
The warmth and softness that comes down from the throat makes you drunk after just one bite. It's really like wine.
Xia Chujian has never drunk wine yet, but she feels that the best wine only tastes like red glutinous rice.
After finishing a plate of cake, she "passed drunk" on the dining table.
Looking at Xia Chujian, who was breathing heavily and had fallen asleep, Xia Yuanfang couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Don't worry, everyone, we were so sick when we first met."
"Candy?"
"Well, she can't eat too many sweets. If she eats just a little too much, she'll get sick." Xia Yuanfang said, trying hard to help Xia Chujian up.
But when Xia Chu saw that she was 1.75 meters tall, and she was not as thin as Liu Fufeng, she was not as sickly as Liu Fufeng. Xia Yuanfang was recovering from a serious illness, so he didn't help her up all of a sudden.
Ping Qiong hurriedly helped.
She was much stronger than Xia Yuanfang, and she directly carried Princess Xia Chujian Daheng and sent her to her bedroom.
Ping Qiong saw Xia Chu's new bedroom through a three-dimensional holographic projection video call.
She put Xia Chujian on the bed in a familiar manner.
Xia Yuanfang followed her in and covered her with a quilt.
Then the two of them crept out and quietly closed the door.
After going out, Xia Yuanfang saw how much they liked eating what she cooked, so she made two more home-cooked snacks.
One is fried noodle nest, and the other is three-fresh tofu skin.
These two items made the team members gorge themselves on them, and they didn’t stop until they packed them up and took them away.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when they left.
It's all dark outside.
The four of them came out of the building where Xia Chujian's home was located and walked onto a narrow path that only allowed one person to pass.
Although the external environment here is indeed very bad, the situation inside the building is not bad.
Li Fu said with emotion: "Xiao Chujian finally has a decent home."
Although they had never entered the utility room on the first floor where she lived before, they had seen it outside many times.
Ye Shijie also said: "I didn't expect the aunt I met for the first time to be so... magnanimous."
They were similar to those of his father's colleagues he had met when he was a child, and even more bookish than those college professors who were extremely knowledgeable.
Her eyes seemed to contain infinite wisdom, but they were not domineering because of it.
