"The gift sent by the little bell was brought over by Liu Gaoshang yesterday, I originally thought that I would take it out to Lao Xia after eating the cake in the evening, just in the cabinet under the living room outside, the SF Express package. Xiang Kun in the kitchen replied with a smile after listening to Yang Zhen'er's question.

Yang Zhen'er immediately ran out, went to the cabinet to find the package, took it out and said to Xia Libing: "It should be this!

"Hey, Yang Laosan, this is a birthday gift for Lao Xia and not for you, why are you so excited!" Xia Tianhuo smiled.

"Lao Xia and Little Bell won't mind, right, Little Bell?" Yang Zhen'er turned the notebook that was being used for video calls, turned the camera at herself, took the package and said with a smile: "Little Bell, can Sister Fairy help your sister open the gift for Sister Chicken Legs?"

Tang Baona was drinking tea, almost choked, and scolded with a smile: "Zhen'er, you are too thick-skinned! I am embarrassed to call myself 'fairy sister' directly......"

Yang Zhen'er got the remote "authorization" of the little chubby girl, and began to unpack the express package, as for her dear cousin, there will definitely be no opinion!

After removing the package, I soon saw the little chubby girl send a gift, which is a rolled-up, 4 large paper painting of the size of the color pencil painting, but what is more special is that this painting seems to be divided into two painting styles, in addition to the middle area, the surrounding areas include the mountains and forests below, the dark clouds above, the lightning on the side and other environmental elements, are all partial realistic color picture depictions, look carefully, it seems that it is not directly painted by the color pen but printed.

And the middle part, the style of painting, is obviously from the handwriting of the little chubby girl.

On the top of the mountain forest, a long, long female magician with a ponytail wearing a magic robe raised her right hand and plunged her magic staff into the sky and clouds, and the lightning around her seemed to be triggered by her.

Next to the tall, imposing ponytail female magician, there was also a multi-winged flying object about 1/10 the size of it, carrying a small magician who was also wearing a magic robe, but because it was too small, the facial features under the hood were only replaced by a few simple strokes, which looked like ":)".

Although this painting should be painted quite carefully and very well at the level of the little chubby girl, especially the ponytail magician, who is completely super level played, but Yang Zhen'er still laughed so much that tears were about to come out when she saw the content of the painting: "Hahahahaha, little bell, why did you draw Lao Xia like a statue of Liberty, hahahahaha, and this one next to it looks like a fly, oh no, like a bee, is it an egg yolk pie? Hahaha, it's very well drawn, so cute, hahahaha, you and the egg yolk pie are not as big as Lao Xia's eyes, hahahahaha......"

The others didn't feel much when they first saw this painting, but when Yang Zhen'er said this, they all leaned back and laughed along with it.

Only Xia Tianhuo, who helped Yang Zhen'er show his paintings, saw the half-cut body of a huge creature with eight eyes and eight arms stepping on the feet of the ponytail magician on the painting, he was stunned for a moment, and asked the little chubby girl who was making a video through a notebook with a surprised expression: "Little sister, what did you draw...... What is a giant with eight eyes and eight hands?"

Yang Zhen'er also noticed that there was actually an eight-armed and eight-eyed monster at Lao Xia's feet, but she didn't react much, and subconsciously thought that the little chubby girl had seen Xiang Kun's eight-armed and eight-eyed monster wood carving.

The little chubby girl was asked by Xia Tianhuo, and almost blurted out "Barbie Warrior", but fortunately, she immediately realized that on the other side of the video, there are not only Xia Libing and Little Apple, two sisters who also belong to the magic world, but also many other uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, although they are all very good people, but according to the bald uncle's confidentiality requirements, they can't be told.

So the chubby girl blinked twice and replied, "It's the crab spirit I saw on TV......"

Xia Tianhuo was puzzled: "Crab essence, why do crabs have so many eyes?"

"Huh? then...... Spider Spirit! Spider has so many spicy eyes...... Right?" the chubby chick reclaimed.

However, no one doubts the little chubby girl's answer, even if it is Xia Tianhuo, he just thinks that the little chubby girl may have accidentally seen the illusion of the eight-armed and eight-eyed giant when the news related to Montamira was broadcast on TV a while ago, and left an impression, thinking that it was a cartoon image of a spider spirit or a crab spirit, after all, some time ago, when many TV stations broadcast the news, they had 3D images made according to the description of witnesses or sketches directly drawn by the parties.

Only Tang Baona was telling the little apple beside her the details of the painting, vaguely felt that the little chubby girl didn't seem to finish speaking, before they went to Star City, when they saw the big cat with four pairs of wings she drew at the little chubby girl's house, when discussing why those wings were painted like that, this girl was very energetic, unlike now to bring a sentence over, it seems that she doesn't want to talk more.

And like Yang Zhen'er, she thinks that the giant painted by the little chubby girl should be the impression left by seeing Xiang Kun's "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster wood carving" before, and the statue itself is actually quite cartoonish.

"Little bell, did your mother help you get these patterns of mountains, clouds, and lightning on this piece of paper?

"It was the little screws that got it for me. Liu Shiling replied that the little screw was her nickname, so it was naturally not a leak.

Yang Zhener didn't ask much, thinking that "Little Screw" was Liu Shiling's friend in Star City.

Xia Libing knew that it was estimated that Alice helped make the environment map, and then printed it out for the little chubby girl, as for the specific operation, how to let the little chubby girl in Star City get the paper with the printed pattern, I think Xiang Kun should know. For example, use Xiang Kun's account to find a merchant on the Internet to type out the finished picture, and then send it to Star City by courier.

However, those environmental patterns of mountains, clouds, and lightning made Xia Libing quite concerned, because these patterns were not directly synthesized with physical pictures on the Internet or other ready-made pictures, but were obviously "drawn" by Alice. Although these patterns are very finely detailed, they look obviously much better than those drawn by Chubby Girl, like a person who specializes in art, but there are still many flaws and rough places, and even in some places, you can vaguely see the "habits" and "style" that are in the same vein as Chubby Girl.

But it is precisely these places that have an obvious humanized growth curve of the painting style, so that Xia Libing can intuitively see Alice's "perceptual growth" - for Alice, it is very easy to draw real or exquisite, but it is much more difficult to draw this real "flaw" and "clumsiness".

Just like when Chubby Chick taught Alice to draw for the first time in the dream, the extremely simple and crooked stick figures drawn were already a leap forward for Alice.

When I helped Chubby Girl draw this picture, Alice had not yet fully integrated into the "Super Sensory Item System", and the day before yesterday, with the help of Little Apple, after completing the final fusion, Alice's evolution will definitely be more rapid. Xia Libing is a little looking forward to what Alice will grow up in this state.

"Lao Xia, why are you in a daze? Little Bell is very well drawn!" Tang Baona saw that Lao Xia's eyes had been staring at the painting, motionless, and even the little chubby girl in the video was a little nervous, so she couldn't help but call her softly, and then said to the little chubby girl: "Next time on my birthday, the little bell will also draw a picture for me, okay?"

Liu Shiling hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Mmmm!"

Xia Libing came back to his senses, also took the painting from Yang Zhen'er's hand, and said to Liu Shiling: "The painting is great, I am very satisfied, thank you little bell." ”

Yang Zhen'er said: "Little bell, I want it too! You have to draw it for me too! But you have to draw me beautifully, well, I'll find you a few reference pictures when the time comes!"

Originally, the gifts were given when they were ready to eat the cake after eating, but since they had seen the little chubby girl's gifts, there was nothing else to do now, so everyone simply took out their respective gifts.

Yang Zhen'er's gift was a pair of hiking shoes, because she found that Lao Xia and Xiang Kun often had to go to Chongyun Mountain to "investigate" and go to the construction site to see the progress, and the previous shoes were dirty and broken, so she prepared a new pair of shoes that were more durable and suitable for the occasion. Anyway, she is Lao Xia's old clothing, shoes and hats sponsor, and the size and size are accurate.

Tang Baona and Yang Zhener have the same idea, what they are giving is an outdoor watch, and the function and brand are naturally much stronger than Lao Xia's original G-SHOCK.

In addition, after Zhang Qian knew Lao Xia's birthday, she also sent a gift to Lao Xia, asking Tang Baona to give it to Lao Xia - it was a sports backpack of a luxury brand - the reason why she gave this was that when Xiang Kun and them went to Pengcheng before, they saw the men's big and somewhat old backpack that Lao Xia was carrying, and felt that it should have been used for a long time.

Zicheng and Chu Xiaoting only knew about Little Apple yesterday that they came to Chongyun Mountain to celebrate Lao Xia's birthday, so they prepared in a hurry and sent a small handicraft bought in Tongshi Town here.

Yang Zhen'er saw that Xia Tianhuo had been sitting without moving, so she took the initiative to ask, "Big man, what gift did you give to Lao Xia?"

"I, hehe, I'm ashamed, I listened to you in the car on the 20th, and I knew that Lao Xia's birthday was coming, didn't I live in the village these days, and I didn't go out, so I didn't have time to prepare a gift. Hehe, keep this gift in mind first, I'll go back and make up for it, I have a lot of African and Southeast Asian local products at home, and I can pick it up at will. Xia Tianhuo was not embarrassed, and said cheekily, he also knew very well that Lao Xia definitely didn't care about whether there was a birthday gift or not.

"Wow, your cousin, is really ...... Tut!" Yang Zhen'er shook her head with disgust.

"Hey, Yang Laosan, you didn't give me a birthday gift on my birthday!Oh yes, I remember, on my eighteenth birthday, you also grabbed my candle!" Xia Tianhuo glared at his cousin.

Yang Zhen'er also glared at him: "I was still a child at the time! Are you embarrassed to worry about a primary school student?"

"Kid, you were in junior high school!"

Although he knew that the brother and sister were joking, Professor Li Yang still turned around and asked Little Apple to take out the gift she had prepared—he knew that his daughter had put a lot of effort into preparing this gift.

Little Apple's gift was very special, she didn't take out any physical objects, but asked Tang Baona to open her mailbox and play an audio file.

As soon as the audio file was released, everyone in the living room fell silent and listened with amazement on their faces.

This audio is full of bird calls, but these bird calls are not chaotic, in the melodious chirping, there is a melody, listen carefully, this melody is "Happy Birthday Song"!

You can hear that one of the songs is the loudest and clearest, and the other birds are more like harmonies and accompaniments.

In the end, it was Little Apple's soft humming voice that participated, and it was quite harmonious, and after singing, Little Apple whispered: "Sister Bing, happy birthday." ”

Chu Xiaoting, who was stunned just now, couldn't help but applaud: "Amazing! It's the first time I know that the bird call is so good, it's really amazing, is this edited? No, the singing sound is so coherent, it doesn't look like it's edited, it's an AI synthesized sound?"

A minute-long singing of birds is like listening to a performance.

Even if there is Tang Baona, who participated in helping the audio production, no matter how much it sounds, she can't help but admire.

Little Apple only said that it mainly relied on "Golden Shining" to provide sound, but the specific synthesis or editing or how to do it did not go into detail.

Naturally, she couldn't tell anyone except Lao Xia that the birds and birds singing along with the song in the audio were all coerced by "Golden Flash" to come and sing along, and she only needed to teach "Golden Flash".

When the audio was playing, Xia Libing was also listening very carefully, from this audio, she could see how much the learning and comprehension ability of "Golden Shining" was, and there was a comparison of the sounds of other birds in the same video, and it was also obvious to perceive the difference between "Golden Shining".

"Nice gift, thank you little apple. Xia Libing said.

"It's good if Sister Bing likes it. Little Apple smiled happily, and the "Golden Flash" by the window also straightened her chest slightly.

Yang Zhen'er walked around the customer hall and found that everyone had already displayed gifts, and suddenly remembered something, and jumped up from the stool: "By the way, there is also Chef Xiang, Chef Xiang must have prepared gifts!"

So she rushed into the kitchen, and after a few seconds, she rushed out and ran into Xiang Kun's room on the first floor, and half a minute later returned to the living room with a small wooden box, handed it to Lao Xia, and said with a slight pant: "A gift to the chef." ”

Xia Libing took the small wooden box and opened it under everyone's gaze, causing a "huh" sound.

But not amazement, but doubt, because at first glance, most people didn't understand what it was.

Yang Zhen'er picked it up and looked at it, then frowned and said, "This is ...... With the wrist on?"

Inside the wooden box was a black leather wristband with many small metal inserts, which looked a bit punk and gothic.

Yang Zhen'er put on her wrist and looked at it, and said strangely: "It's really a wristband? This can't be made by Chef himself, right? This is simply ...... Oh, how could Chef Xiang get such a wristband, it doesn't match Lao Xia's style at all? Lao Xia, this gift should be rejected, and it will be called back, and it will be better than this ugly wristband for Chef Xiang to make a few wood carvings again!"

Tang Baona couldn't help but nod her head, and then described the "ugly crying" wristband to the little apple next to her.

Zicheng also had a laughing and crying expression: "Ah Tu's aesthetic is really enough 'Ah Tu'!

However, Xia Libing asked for the wristband back and put it on himself, but said with a calm expression: "I think it's okay." ”

What others don't know is that this wristband was actually made by Xiang Kun and Lao Xia together. Xiang Kun had thought about how to make it easier for Lao Xia to carry more "super-couplings" after establishing contact, before she always carried nine coins, not to mention the weight, if she put it in her pocket and didn't fix it, she often had to tinkle when she walked. Although the "tungsten steel balls" are small, if the number is too large, it is also inconvenient to carry, think about it, it is more appropriate to get a "modular wearable equipment" that can increase and decrease from time to time, so the idea of this wristband came out.

The small iron pieces inlaid on it and of the same size are naturally Xiang Kun's "super-conjugs", and after these iron pieces are removed by a special method, there is still a large amount of small space inside the wristband, which can be stuffed into the tungsten steel balls, and the maximum bearing can reach more than 100.

And this kind of decoration, what material is used, what structure, will not arouse suspicion, go through the security check and the like, just take it off, and you are not afraid of being checked.

The internal function and handiwork of this wristband are in charge of Xiang Kun, and the appearance is actually more of Xia Libing's opinion.

"It's time to eat!" At this time, Xiang Kun came out of the kitchen with a pot of vegetables, and asked Zicheng and Yang Zhen'er to go into the kitchen to help serve the dishes and set the dishes and chopsticks, "By the way, Brother Fu knows that Lao Xia likes to eat crispy pork knuckle the most, and today I went to the slaughterhouse to get these freshest and high-quality pork knuckles.

As soon as she heard this, Liu Shiling, who had not yet finished the video connection, stretched her neck on the other side, as if she wanted to stick her head out of the video, but unfortunately the angle of the camera was not facing the table, and she could only see the expressions of other people's excited expressions, which made her can't help but make up for the food made by "Uncle Bald".

When dinner was about to start, You Meng's wife Liang Yulong also rushed over from Tongshi Town and brought some dishes made by You Meng.

Liu Caifu also asked people to send a few jars of special fruit wine here.

Everyone had a very happy dinner, not only because Xiang Kun had worked hard to cook a lot of dishes, and there was also a good wine pairing, but also because today was Lao Xia's birthday, so all friends could get together.

After eating about the same, when Xiang Kun and Tang Baona started to prepare the cake, Xia Libing felt the vibration of her mobile phone, she picked it up and looked at it, it was a system notification: "Come to the door." ”

She instantly understood that this was Alice.

Xia Libing looked up at Xiang Kun, who was unpacking the birthday cake and looked back at her, and continued to do things, she immediately understood: Alice was not looking for her at Xiang Kun's behest, but Xiang Kun knew.

Xia Libing went to the bathroom first, and then naturally walked through the courtyard, opened the courtyard door, and walked out.
