The First Madam noticed and smiled, presenting a set of writing tools to Zhi.
Soon after, Madam Jiang, Tong Xiyan, Tong Minzhi, and Tong Quanzi all arrived. Madam Jiang brought along Kun, while Tong Xiyan and Xiuzhi brought Tong Xihua. Everyone gathered inside the room, and the three children played boisterously on the rose bed. Kun could walk steadily, Tong Xihua was just learning to walk and was quite timid, always needing someone to hold her hand before she dared take a step, while Zhi used hands and feet to stand up by holding onto the table or cabinet, managing to stand fairly stably.
Xing respectfully cupped his fists towards Xiqiu, saying, "Fourth Aunt, I'm here to celebrate my brother's birthday; when do we eat the longevity noodles?"
