As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality

"Master Li, congratulations! Happy first birthday to Xi Xi!"

Snowflakes, as white as cotton, swirled in the air, standing out against the black roof tiles.

The courtyard gate stood wide open, and the sound of footsteps crunching on the snow rose and fell, with congratulatory voices following in an endless stream.

Figure after figure walked in from outside the courtyard, each presenting gifts for the one-year-old celebration.

All were familiar faces from the wood carving shop; Li Che and Zhang Ya, dressed in splendid attire, stood at the entrance to welcome these guests.

In the courtyard, attendants from Spring Breeze Building had already set up tents, arranged tables and chairs, and the chef on one side had set up his stove and lit the fire. The appetizing starters had already been delivered to each table early on.

In total, there were nine tables set, which wasn't a small number. After all, quite a few of the master craftsmen had brought their families, aiming for a joyous and lively celebration.

Chen Dabao, holding Xi Xi, who was dressed in a red jacket and skirt and looked incredibly adorable and delicate, was showing her off to several old fellows, his face piled high with smiles. The affection he felt was so thick that it seemed to overflow.

The Great Uncle's family had also arrived. The Old Scholar was clutching a tobacco pipe that wasn't lit and was followed by a young couple carrying a child still in swaddling clothes. He was a boy with plump cheeks, curiously gazing around with big eyes.
