San Zong was the first to call out, "Master Shaojun is back!"
Then he saw the little dog Si Xi and screamed, "Si Xi? Is this Si Xi?! How did you grow so big all of a sudden!"
Everyone's eyes turned over at once.
Si Xi tilted his head and looked at everyone, as if he didn't understand why everyone was making such a fuss.
Xia Chujian picked it up and said with a smile: "Si Xi might be too happy to see me back, and he couldn't control himself for a moment, so he grew up."
"Right? Little Sixi?" Xia Chujian touched its still furry little head.
Si Xi called out softly, "Woo woof, woof woof," and his four short legs fluttered with joy.
If this drastic change happened to someone else's family, they would probably be terrified by now and would either send the puppy to the hospital or to a research institute...
Only the Xia family was surprised and did not make a fuss.
Xia Yuanfang smiled and said, "First meeting, why did you come back so suddenly? I was just saying I wanted to schedule a video call with you again."
Aunt Chen then asked with concern: "Did the training end early? Or is it the holiday?"
Xia Chujian was about to speak when she suddenly heard Wufu's voice coming from the house: "Ahhh! Wufu is going out! Wufu is going out!"
San Zong patted his head and said in frustration, "Oh! Everyone was so excited that they forgot about the Five Blessings!"
He quickly turned around and ran back to the restaurant.
Xia Chujian said, "It's okay, everyone, go in. Where were you just now?"
Xia Yuanfang said: "We just finished breakfast, and Wufu is still in the children's high-back seat..."
Xia Chujian understood immediately.
That child high-back seat is fastened with a safety belt, and children cannot climb up and down it by themselves.
They walked back to the restaurant together, and Sanzong had already taken Wufu out of the high-back seat.
But when Wu Fu saw Xia Chujian come in, he snorted angrily, turned his head away from her, and looked aggrieved.
Xia Chujian touched Xiao Sixi's head and put it on the ground.
Then he walked over to San Zong, stretched out his hand to Wu Fu, and said, "Wu Fu, my sister is back. Don't you want to be close to her?"
Wu Fu’s little face is chubby, and because he is angry, his cheeks are puffed up like two red apples, which is extremely cute.
Xia Chujian couldn't help it anymore. Regardless of Wu Fu's little struggle, she took him from San Zong's arms and "forced" him to touch his chubby face.
Wu Fu suddenly burst into laughter, stretched out his chubby little hands, hugged Xia Chujian's neck, and smiled secretly with his lips pursed.
Xia Chujian hugged him and sat down, and said to Xia Yuanfang: "Aunt, is there anything to eat? I miss the delicious food you made!"
Xia Yuanfang said, "Let me make you some wontons. Fish wontons, made with croaker."
"Okay, okay!" Xia Chujian held Wu Fu's little hands and clapped.
Si Xi squatted obediently at Xia Chujian's feet, listening to her talking with Aunt Chen, Zhu Yingying, and San Zong.
Zhu Yingying was very curious about the content of Xia Chujian's training.
Xia Chujian picked out some interesting things to tell and told them.
Even the nobles like Ji Nabi and their grievances with Lin Xiaoxiao were gossiped about.
Everyone was shocked by what they heard, which made Xia Chujian very proud of his storytelling ability.
Xia Yuanfang made the wontons and placed them in front of her.
The whole family watched her eat wontons, and even the youngest child Wu Fu didn't ask for another meal.
It had indeed been a while since Xia Chujian had eaten the food cooked by Xia Yuanfang.
He was so full of food that he couldn't even lift his head up, and even drank up all the wonton soup.
Aunt Chen jokingly said, "First time seeing you, is the food in your base's cafeteria bad?"
Xia Chujian said, "I can't say it's unpalatable, but it's far inferior to what my aunt makes..."
Everyone laughed together and the atmosphere was very warm and harmonious.
Xia Chujian greeted his family members one by one.
"Aunt Chen, have you been to the Strange Beast Forest recently? What was it like there?"
"Yingying, did you go hunting in the Exotic Beast Forest? Did you find any new wild rhinoceroses?"
"Sanmane, you seem to have become much whiter. Did you use sunscreen while farming recently?"
"Si Xi, I'm also curious about how you've grown up so suddenly. Are you really so excited to see me?"
"Wufu, you've gained weight again. My arms can hardly hold you anymore!"
"Liushun, what Star Network novels have you been following recently?"
Chattering, she was the only one in the whole restaurant. She was a one-person show that could rival the bustling vegetable market.
But everyone in the family seemed very intoxicated.
The house was too quiet when Xia Chujian was not around. Even Wu Fu and Sixi were quietly making trouble most of the time.
Aunt Chen and Zhu Yingying usually talk more after returning to their rooms.
Xia Yuanfang goes out early and comes back late to do experiments.
Sanzong also goes to work on time every day and goes to bed before nine o'clock in the evening.
Now that Xia Chujian is here, everyone suddenly realizes that this is how a family should be together.
So everyone started sharing what happened around them during this period.
Aunt Chen said, "I've been to the Exotic Beast Forest twice to help Researcher Xia find some medicinal herbs. I haven't been paying attention to the movements of the beasts there yet."
Zhu Yingying also said, "I went there once to explore the route. I'm waiting for you to come back so we can go hunting together!"
Sanzong was stammering and no one knew what he said, so Xia Chujian couldn't hear it clearly.
However, Xia Chujian took out the special permit that Huo Yushen had obtained for her, handed it to San Zong and said, "San Zong, this is for you. You don't have to hide anymore."
