Xia Chujian said with a smile: "This is an early birthday present from my master!"

"But this sky blue is too conspicuous. I'd better change it back to the previous color."

Xia Chujian manipulated the red spider lily necklace, making it switch to its previous black and silver color.

Xia Yuanfang looked at the changing light and shadow on Xia Chujian's neck, his eyes became distant, as if he was lost in some distant memories.

Xia Chujian caught a glimpse of Xia Yuanfang's expression and thought of "Hua Yixin" and the eight people including Qin Wanglan.

Should she ask her now?

Thinking that they were still on Beichen Star, and that dog emperor might have sent people to secretly monitor her, Xia Chujian was worried that if something really happened, it would attract the attention of that dog emperor.

Therefore, she resisted the urge to ask and decided to wait until she returned to Guiyuan Star.

Their home on Guiyuan Star was close to the Forest of Strange Beasts, so if she were to do something to kill those who were watching, it would be easy...

Thinking of this, Xia Chujian swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and changed the subject: "Aunt, have you been in touch with Ms. Ning Sa recently?"

"Is her little Ning Zheng in good health?"

Xia Yuanfang said: "I contacted Xiao Ningzheng half a month ago, and there is nothing wrong with his health."

"By the way, his first birthday has passed. I've been too busy lately and haven't been able to take care of him."

"I just remembered it yesterday and sent a message to Ning Sa. She said she didn't celebrate Ning Zheng's birthday either."

"Just when I brought it up, she offered to treat us to a meal together to celebrate. What do you think?"

Xia Chujian said, "...why not invite them and their son to our house for dinner? Just think of it as us celebrating Xiao Ning's birthday."

Xia Yuanfang thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. I don't even know what gift to prepare for him."

"Invite them to dinner, and I'll make a birthday cake, that should be all."

Xia Chujian said, "Xiao Ning is so lucky to have my aunt make a birthday cake for me. It's better than any other gift!"

Xia Yuanfang smiled and tapped her forehead.

Next, Xia Yuanfang was responsible for communicating with Ning Sa, and Xia Chujian only needed to prepare the menu at home.

Of course, all the things that she, Sanzong, Wufu, Xiaojiuxiang, Sixi, Awu and Axuan like to eat are listed on the menu.

As for Ning Sa and Ning Zheng, Xia Chujian sent a message to ask.

Ning Sa said that she likes to eat anything made by Xia Yuanfang and has no preference.

Ning Zheng was still young, and he was very happy just by hearing that there was cake to eat.

…

It was already summer, and Xia Chujian wanted to have dinner in the courtyard.

But I am also worried that there will be too many mosquitoes when eating outside, which will affect the quality of the meal.

San Zong said proudly, "Don't worry, Master! San Zong has planted many insect repellent herbs and flowers in the courtyard."

"Our yard is free of mosquitoes and other small insects, day or night!"

Xia Chujian was shocked: "Really?! San Zong, you are truly incredible!"

After the surprise, Xia Chujian enthusiastically set up a beautiful picnic table in the backyard.

It was covered with a light-colored tablecloth that was easy to wash, and freshly picked flowers and green grass that could repel mosquitoes were placed in the four corners.

Add a circle of solar-powered outdoor lights and a few comfortable chairs.

A homely, warm and leisurely atmosphere emerges.

Sanzong and the household robot Liushun brought out the meals prepared by Xia Yuanfang from the kitchen again and again.

Xia Chujian brought out a box of juice, which contained all fresh juice she squeezed herself.

Si Xi was so happy that he ran around in the backyard. He even "dugged" up a few flowers and plants himself, brought them to Xia Chujian, and motioned her to put them on the dining table.

Of course Xia Chujian "obeyed orders" and put them all up.

When Ning Sa brought Ning Zheng over and saw the decorations in the backyard, they were deeply moved and said, "Researcher Xia, you are so kind to us mother and son!"

Xia Yuanfang said, "Don't be so formal, just call me Yuanfang. We are already acquaintances."

Ning Sa said gratefully, "Then I will respectfully obey your command. From now on, your family's affairs will be my affairs. Our two families are like one family!"

Xia Yuanfang smiled and didn't respond, but picked up Ning Zheng, who was making a fuss about getting off the ground, kissed him, and put him on the ground.

Ning Zheng ran to Xiao Jiuxiang and followed him like a little tail.

Wherever Xiao Jiuxiang ran, he ran there.

In theory, Xiao Jiuxiang is half a year older than him, but Ning Zheng is now about the same height as a three-year-old child, and is a head taller than Xiao Jiuxiang.

But he followed Xiao Jiuxiang closely, and only when Xia Chujian appeared could she draw his attention away.
