After Xu Congyi finished eating the longevity noodles, she went to see the things her grandfather and father had bought. Just as she was about to help carry them down, Xu the Hunter stopped her with his arm and pushed her aside.

"Yiyi, today is your birthday. You don't have to do any work. Just rest at home."

"I'm just helping to carry some things, how can that be considered work?" Xu Congyi said with a smile.

"In short, you don't have to do anything!" Hunter Xu pushed his precious daughter's shoulders and pushed her back to the yard. Seeing this, Xu Congyi didn't insist any more.

This morning, Xu Congyi just sat in the yard drinking tea, and then went back to the house to drink tea. In the afternoon, even when Tang Xiaowu came to deliver a box, she wanted to help but was rejected.

When he was blocked by his mother for the third time, Tang Xiaowu couldn't help but ask his own question: "Miss Xu, what happened today? Why didn't Aunt Li let you touch these boxes? Is there something wrong with the boxes?"

"No, no," Xu Cong waved his hands repeatedly.

"Today is Yiyi's birthday. I want her to have a good rest at home for a day and not have to do any work," Li Dahua took over the conversation and explained to Tang Xiaowu.

"Oh! I see!" Tang Xiaowu touched her head, "Miss Xu, happy birthday! Happy birthday!" Tang Xiaowu reacted quickly and offered his blessings.

After Tang Xiaowu left, Xu Congyi entered boredom mode again. She thought for a long time and decided to buy a cake from the space. For her, this was her first birthday since she came here from the modern times, which was very meaningful; for the Xu family, this was Xu Congyi's first birthday after he recovered from his illness, so they naturally wanted to celebrate it well.

She opened the box, and inside was a two-layer cake, decorated with pure white animal cream and a few delicate flowers, which looked simple and elegant. She knew that there were many people in her family, so she specially selected a two-layer cake to ensure that everyone could taste this sweetness. But because it was made of animal cream, the refrigerator in her space could not fit it, so she took it out and put it in her own warehouse. Now that the weather is cold, the warehouse is a natural refrigerator.

Just as Xu's mother and Li Dahua were preparing to cook, they heard Xu the Hunter calling them outside the door. The two came out of the kitchen and found that it was Shen Xiao, Tang Wenhao and Tang Xiaowu.

It turned out that Tang Xiaowu told his young master that today was Xu Congyi's birthday. Tang Wenhao thought that he was Xu Congyi's good friend, so how could he not go to his good friend's birthday! Then he asked Tang Xiaowu to inform Shen Xiao. Tang Wenhao thought, when they had dinner at Xu's house last time, Xu Congyi expressed his feelings, so how could Shen Xiao be timid! He didn't know that the two of them had already communicated with each other.

Seeing Xu's mother and Li Dahua coming out of the kitchen, Shen Xiao and Tang Wenhao immediately went forward and greeted them warmly. Xu's mother smiled happily when she saw them coming, and Li Dahua hurried over to help. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were obviously very happy about this sudden visit, and there were more laughter and joy in the house, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.

Tang Xiaowu followed closely behind, carrying the food he packed from the restaurant, including the signature braised pig's trotter. The pig's trotter was bright red in color and fragrant, and it made people salivate just by looking at it. Tang Wenhao had heard from Tang Xiaowu before that the Xu family deliberately did not let Xu Congyi work today so that she could enjoy her birthday. So he had the idea of ​​packing a few dishes to bring over. He knew that Xu Congyi was a skilled cook, but the meat dishes he brought with him were also delicious after being carefully cooked by the restaurant, and they were even more flavorful and delicious after being heated up.

"Grandma Xu, Aunt Li, these are some of the signature dishes I packed from Zuixianlou." Tang Wenhao smiled and handed the packed food to Xu's mother. "Although the taste may not be as good as Sister Xu's cooking, it is also our intention. I hope you like it."

Mother Xu took the food and pretended to complain: "Child, how can you bring your own food to eat? Although our family is not rich, we will not let you spend money."

Tang Wenhao smiled and waved his hands, replying, "It's because we came here uninvited! This is one of our birthday gifts for sister Yi Yi."

After inviting the three people into the house, Xu's mother hurried to Xu Congyi's bedroom to call her. As expected, they were in sync with each other. As soon as Xu Congyi came out of the space, he heard Xu's mother knocking on the door.

Xu Congyi opened the door.

"Yi Yi, Xiao'er, Wenhao and Xiaowu are all here to celebrate your birthday. They are in the main room." When Xu Congyi's mother saw his expression, she knew that she must not have been in the room just now and did not hear the sound of the three people coming.

"Okay, grandma! I'll change my clothes and come over!" Xu Congyi only wore a simple padded jacket at home. With so many people celebrating her birthday, she had to dress up properly.

She was wearing a light blue two-piece skirt that she had carefully selected from the space. She had originally planned to change into it after dinner, but now that Brother Shen Xiao was here, she decided to put it on in advance.

This dress not only reflects the delicacy of modern aesthetics, but also incorporates deep Chinese elements, making it unique. The top has a dignified and elegant stand-up collar, with smooth lines, just like the undulating mountains in classical ink paintings. The edge of the stand-up collar is inlaid with golden tassels, which sway gently in the wind, like a stream of clear springs in the mountains, adding endless agility and vitality. The silk fabric of the top is embroidered with several delicate orchids, with petals as delicate as silk and golden stamens, as if you can smell the elegant and lasting orchid fragrance. These orchids bloom on the light blue silk, which looks both gentle and elegant, just like the finishing touch of a classical beauty.

The long skirt is made of thick cotton and linen, which is both warm and breathable. The hem is designed to be loose, and the layers of folds are like clouds in a classical painting, elegant and romantic. On the light blue hem, there are several delicate snowflake patterns embroidered, which echo the orchids, forming a unique beauty.

Xu Congyi was very satisfied with the dress. She walked to the dressing table and sat down, combing her long hair carefully. She combed her hair until it was smooth and soft, then simply tied it into a bun and fixed it with an elegant wooden hairpin. The wooden hairpin was carved into the shape of a gardenia, which matched the elegant color of the dress. Then, she picked up a box of rouge and gently swept it on her cheeks a few times to make her complexion look more rosy.

After finishing her dressing, Xu Congyi stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself carefully. The light blue dress made her skin look even whiter, and she looked fresh and refined, like a fairy walking out of a painting. She nodded with satisfaction, then opened the door and walked quickly to the main room.
