Riding the wind of rebirth

"Grandpa Chi Ri and Uncle Tu are just flattering me. You guys did all the work, I was just the one who came up with ideas." Zhou Zhi laughed. "Fortunately, with their support, all these ideas were implemented. Hey? How about we play a game?"

"what game?"

“Let’s each take something off our person, surround Xiao Shunzi, and see what he grabs, shall we?”

"Isn't this... you know... the baby's first birthday celebration?" Feng Xueshan said, "Xiao Shunzi is only three months old, he can't even crawl yet!"

"Why make it so formal? It's just for fun. Besides, you can't catch things just by crawling." Zhou Zhi laughed. "Let's make it clear first, whoever's thing Xiao Shunzi catches has to treat everyone to a meal at Ayi's restaurant in a few days!"

"This looks like a lot of fun," Liang Hong said with a smile. "Let's give it a try."

Everyone spread out blankets on the grass and sat in a circle. Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Let's start with Mom and Dad. What are you going to put out?"

Holding Xiao Shunzi, Feng Xueshan said to Yang He, "Take off my safety pendant. I just want him to be safe and sound."

Yang He took the cherry-red safety buckle pendant off Feng Xueshan's neck and placed it in front of her. After thinking for a moment, he took out a grounding wristband from his bag: "Being an engineer in the future wouldn't be bad."

"It's my turn, it's my turn. I'm the godmother." Mai Xiaomiao pulled out a flash drive from somewhere: "Let's be programmers."

Feng Xueshan laughed and said, "That's right. If you're going to be an engineer, be a software engineer like your godmother, not a hardware engineer like your father. That would be too hard."

“Software engineers work even harder, they can stay up all night and turn into pandas,” Zhou Zhi said, pulling out his seal from his pocket. “Isn’t studying humanities a good thing? You can do everything from music and chess to calligraphy and painting, and you can write stacks of love letters. Girls will love you in the future, and you won’t have to worry about finding a wife.”

“小苗你揍他！当干爹的不教点好！”冯雪珊抓着小顺子的胳膊挥舞小拳头：“问问他给多少女生一沓一沓地写过情书！”

"Isn't this something that fathers have never done before, something that can only be entrusted to the next generation?" Zhou Zhi laughed, "Xiao Miao, don't listen to any provocations."

Yan Xiao expressed his disdain for everyone: "All your stuff is meaningless. If you ask me, no matter what you do in the future, you have to make money. You might as well just go straight to your destination."

After saying that, he slapped the string of five emperor coins in front of him: "Hehehe, Uncle Yan Xiao's string of coins is shiny, Xiao Shunzi will definitely choose mine!"

"You're so tacky," He Shiqing said. "Then what should I put here... Oh, right!"

As she spoke, she took out a small badge with a pair of golden wings from her bag: "It would be great if Xiao Shunzi could be a pilot in the future!"

Liang Hong rolled her eyes: "Your demands are too high. I agree with Xue Shan's idea; peace and safety are the best outcome."

As she spoke, she placed a chicken wing in front of herself: "May you be safe and sound, healthy and strong, and may you eat your way to a plump and healthy body!"

“This direction is pretty good too. It doesn’t matter how much money we make; the happiest thing is to have enough to eat and drink,” Zhou Zhi said with a smile.

"I didn't bring anything..." When it was Yang Honghui's turn, he was at a loss. After thinking for a moment, he picked up a small stone from the ground and placed it in front of him: "Boys must protect themselves and their families when they grow up. I wish Xiao Shunzi good health and martial arts skills."

"Old Yang, isn't this a bit too perfunctory?" Zhou Zhi asked. "How can your little pebble have anything to do with high martial arts skills?"

Yang Honghui picked up a small pebble from the ground, bent his middle finger and pressed it between his thumb to hold the pebble, then shook his arm and flipped his wrist. With a "snap," a liquid can on the picnic table suddenly jumped, and a hole appeared in the can.

"Damn!" Yan Xiao was startled. "You've always been so secretive. I knew your family's kung fu couldn't be without some foundation. This is real kung fu, isn't it?!"

"Is this the skill Huang Feihong used in the movie to smash the screen with a foreigner's bullet?" Zhou Zhi was also startled: "Is there really such a skill?" "It's not that exaggerated." Yang Honghui laughed: "It's just using a bit of skill to make the stone hit the mark. It's Azi's turn."

"Oh dear, I don't have much either," Azi laughed, then took off an earring. "We Yi people think it's pretty good to be able to win a girl's heart like Brother Zhouzi!"

“Not like me, but like what I just said.” Zhou Zhi quickly corrected, “These are two different concepts.”

"Alright, everything's ready. What's next?" Feng Xueshan asked with a smile.

"Let me get ready..." Zhou Zhi looked at the sky: "The sun is too strong here, we need to find a shady place."

"You go prepare, we'll move the blankets." Yan Xiao and Liang Hong always did these things with great enthusiasm.

After everyone had jokingly moved the blanket to the shade of the tree, Zhou Zhi had already prepared everything. It was just a bamboo pole with all the things that everyone had prepared tied to it, and everything was hanging down from the bamboo pole.

"That's not fair! You put your own pen in the middle!" Yan Xiao knew exactly what Zhou Zhi was up to the moment he saw what he was doing: "The key is that you can cheat by using the bamboo pole to pass your things to Xiao Shunzi!"

"Do I really want to treat everyone that badly?" Zhou Zhi was speechless. "Can't people trust each other at all?"

“No way!” Liang Hong laughed. “Salt Rat is right. Of course we can’t let him come and get the bamboo pole.”

"Then how do we do this?" Yang Honghui asked.

“It’s not like there’s no way.” Zhou Zhi thought for a moment: “Yan Xiao, lend a hand, and we’ll build another frame.”

Soon a small, two-meter-high frame was completed. Two ropes hung down from the frame, with the ropes tied to the ends of bamboo poles, so that the things hanging on the bamboo poles could be grabbed by Xiao Shunzi, who was lying on the blanket.

Zhou Zhi gently pushed the bamboo pole, and the horizontal bamboo pole swayed slightly on the frame, causing everyone's things to sway from side to side, allowing Xiao Shunzi to choose freely.

"Are all your classmates like this? So serious about these things," Yang Honghui asked Liang Hong in a low voice.

Liang Hong looked on with a grin: "That's right, that's just their personality. In the old saying in Jiachuan, it's called 'they love doing things that don't put food on the table'."

"It's starting! It's starting! It's starting!" After the device experiment was successful, Yan Xiao called out to Feng Xueshan, "Quickly put Xiao Shunzi down."

Under the expectant gazes of his uncles and aunts, Xiao Shunzi lay down under the shelf, looking at the odds and ends swaying above his head, gently twisting his head, not knowing what the meaning of this action was.

"Little Shunzi is choosing the string of coins, the shiny one..."

"Shut up! No hints allowed! No cheating!"

"He doesn't understand..."

"Then why did you say it? You're using mind input, which won't work either," Zhou Zhi continued to correct.

"Why don't we all shout it out? Then it won't be considered cheating." Liang Hong couldn't help but say, "Xiao Shunzi, those chicken wings smell so good, don't you want to take a bite...?"

Now everyone started greeting each other enthusiastically. (End of Chapter)
