Chapter 68: Fu Bao’s First Birthday

The days after sowing are relatively leisurely. Fugui often brings Fubao up the mountain. Every time he either takes his hares and pheasants down the mountain or brings firewood and wild vegetables home.

A few children were also busy going up and down the mountain with Fugui. There was too much food to eat in the mountains in spring, and it was all due to nature.

Fubao is also busy absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth every day, practicing seriously every day, and before he knew it, it was her birthday.

Fubao's birthday is the last day of April. Even Xiangqian took leave to come back to celebrate Fubao's birthday. On this day, red lanterns were hung in the yard of Xiang's family, and each lantern had a small word "Fu" written on it.

Grandma Xiang and her two daughters-in-law were busy in the kitchen early in the morning. She had a lot of chicken, duck, fish, meat, and desserts. Her sister-in-law was also dedicated to combining noodles and preparing to make a longevity noodles.

Fugui was not idle either, but instead changed into a silk jacket and skirt placed on the kang. The big red silk jacket and skirt was very slim on the upper body, and the lower body was slightly dispersed, directly pulling Fubao's body several inches higher.

Fubao's hair had grown out. Although it was not thick enough, Fugui still skillfully woven Fubao's hair into two small maids' buns, and tied them with thin colorful headbands.

The colorful head rope is woven with five colors of silk threads, and a small gold utensil is woven every inch, including gold wooden fish, gold bells, gold leaves, gold gourds, etc.

Fu Bao looked at the rough hands flying skillfully in the mirror, feeling extremely warm. These hands were holding a hoe to weed and chopping wood with hatchets yesterday, but today they were able to dress up for themselves.

"Fubao, where did your grandparents put the golden collar for you?" Fugui searched around but couldn't find the golden collar.

Fu Bao smiled without showing his teeth, but suddenly a gold collar was hung around his neck. The collar was very delicate, not only carved with various patterns, but also sucked and placed freely. He would not be unable to wear it because of the growth of a child.

There is a long life lock hanging under the collar, and the three words "Xiangzang Yue" are engraved on the lock. The meaning is to lock Fubao's life, avoid the invasion of diseases, epidemics, and harm Fubao, hoping that Fubao can grow up safely without disasters.

This golden collar was carefully selected by Mr. Xiang and Grandma Xiang in the gold shop. It cost 60 taels of silver. Sister Fugui was reluctant to let it go, but Mr. Xiang took out the silver without hesitation.

Fugui also took a fancy to the colorful headband. The small goldware on the silk thread, which contained beautiful meaning, made Fugui take out the silver without hesitation, for a total of ten taels of silver, but he didn't even frown.

At first, Fugui's sister-in-law was so distressed that she couldn't help but think that the decorations on the collar and colorful headband were all gold, and she bought them for her little daughter. All the distress was gone.

When Fugui appeared in the main hall with a new dress, everyone looked at Fubao, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. This fairy-like Fuwa is really their sister (niece).

Mr. Xiang couldn't help but stand up, reached out to take his treasure, and hugged it in his arms with care, and then asked Xiang Qian to bring a pen, ink, paper and ink for him to dictate:

"I have a beautiful girl in my family, she is quite fair and beautiful.

The small characters are Wansu, and the mouth is from the Qing calendar.

The hair is covered with wide forehead, and the ears are like a jade.

In the Ming Dynasty, I was combing the table and my eyebrows were swept away.

Thick red lips, yellow kiss, red and red.

The sweet words are like a mess, and the anger is quick and bright..."

Xiangqian's brush and ink are used very smoothly and fully. Although the tip of the brush looks tender, the brush is already showing its strengths.

Mr. Xiang was very satisfied. He also walked along the way, but at that time he was not as good as Xiang Qian's pen now. You should know that Xiang Qian was only six years old after the New Year.

The following verse is written by Xiang Chu and Ji Xiang. Xiang Chu obviously falls inferior. Ji Xiang is because he is good at carving, so his words are written with the best.

But Jixiang has learned his lesson and is very modest. He is all uncles and is the oldest. If he can't even compare to his two nephews, he will have no place to put his face.

Ping An bought a lot of food, food, fun, and expensive fireworks. The fireworks did not arouse Fubao's interest, but made the boys happy.

Everyone prepared birthday gifts for Fubao, and Xiangchuji gave tangrams, Jiulian, diabolo and sachets that the little girl liked, etc., which they thought were fun.

Although these things are of no use to Fubao, they are also the brothers’ wishes. What is the most precious thing in this world is the sincerity of the family.

Xiang Qian, the youngest, gave him a favorite brush and promised that he would teach Fubao to study if he had time. Fubao was very interested in this. When she became the King of Camphor Tree, she knew that everything was inferior to that of reading.

Just when the Xiang family was having fun, there was a knock on the door outside, and Fubao's mental power was emitting. It turned out that his grandfather's younger brother and sister were coming.

Xianghanhe couple walked in front with water roots and water seedlings, carrying baskets in their hands, Xianghanqin was erecting her big belly, and the butcher was holding a big fish in one hand and a knife in the other, following the side with pork.

"Brother, sister-in-law, and Xiao Fubao."

"Hello uncle and aunt, and hello sister Fubao"

"Hello brother and brother, good Fubao."

In an instant, a sound of greetings came from the Xiang family yard, but the last sentence was towards Fubao. Fubao got off Mr. Xiang, stood up straight, and was about to salute everyone, but the gift had not yet been formed, but the person swayed to the ground.

Everyone rushed up in a hurry, but they squeezed together and then fell to the ground. The only two who were spared were Fubao and Hanqin. Fubao was pulled by Mr. Xiang, and Hanqin was hugged by the butcher.

Grandma Xiang and Old Master Xiang looked at their younger brother and sister-in-law, as well as their two children, and couldn't help but raise their mouths.

Shui Gen and Shui Miao stood up quickly and helped their parents up. Shui Miao's face turned red, which was shameful. Fortunately, Fu Bao was fine.

"Brother, Fubao is really good. The child who is just over 20 years old can actually salute him. This must be the credit of his sister-in-law." Xiang Hanhe asked with a smile.

Mr. Xiang nodded arrogantly. Fubao's upbringing has always been disciplined by his wife. From eating to sleep, from speaking to walking, the old wife will teach every matter patiently and carefully.

Mr. Xiang also understood one thing from his wife's teachings: his wife must have come from a wealthy family, otherwise he would not have known so much etiquette, but he would not ask if his wife didn't say it.
