Night has come, and a Milky Way is hanging on the bright sky, and the silver-white moon cannot cover up the starlight.

The light shone on Sanqing Island, like covering the island with a layer of frost. The waves gently patted the reefs, showing a bit of loneliness.

Deep in Sanqing Island, a candlelight lit up among a bamboo forest.

This is a small bamboo house, with a small courtyard separated by a fence outside, and the firewood that I just brought back is placed in the corner of the yard.

The smoke rose, the fragrance of rice was everywhere, and the birds fell on the branches, looking curiously at the boy playing in the yard.

Yan Ning washed his face with clean water and let the water droplets slide off his chin.

He walked into the bamboo house and looked at his wife Zhuang Xiaoya, who was wearing an apron and cooking, and felt a warm feeling in his heart, and gently hugged her from behind.

Zhuang Xiaoya's shoulders trembled and she said angrily: "I'm cooking, how bad is it for the child to see?"

"Xiaofan is preparing a birthday gift for you outside." Yan Ning kissed Zhuang Xiaoya's side face.

Zhuang Xiaoya smiled and said, "Xiaofan is a sensible child. Since he was two years old, he has prepared birthday gifts for us every year."

Yan Ning turned around, leaned against the window, and looked at the dead grass ring hanging on the wall.

That was a gift Chen Xiaofan gave to the couple last year. It looked very rough, but it was Yan Ning's most cherished thing.

"The rice is ready, let's go to the yard to have a meal today." Zhuang Xiaoya lifted the lid of the pot, and a white and tender sea fish exuded an attractive aroma in the steam.

"I'll serve the food!"

Yan Ning rushed to pick up the plate. The temperature of the plate was very high at this time, but he didn't feel anything.

The couple walked out of the bamboo house and placed the dishes on the table in the yard. The table was already full of delicious dishes, just the last plate of steamed sea fish.

"mother!"

Although Chen Xiaofan is already ten years old, his voice still seems a little childish.

"Xiaofan, come here for dinner." Zhuang Xiaoya raised her hair in front of her eyebrows and said gently.

Chen Xiaofan jogged over and faced Zhuang Xiaoya and Yan Ning, but his hands were hidden behind him.

"Don't you have a gift to give to your mother?" Yan Ning asked.

A smile appeared on Chen Xiaofan's face, and three little clay men were taken out from behind.

It is said to be a clay man, but in fact it is just a round clay stick with four branches and then the eyes and mouth are drawn.

If you have to say what the difference between three clay men is, it is that clay men are two big and one small, and one of them is a handful of weeds on their heads, just treat it as hair.

"This is the gift I gave to my mother. I hope our family will be together forever like these three little clay men!"

Zhuang Xiaoya took the clay man with a touch in her eyes. She carefully placed the clay man at the table and said with a smile: "Xiaofan is so beautiful, but these three villains have no clothes. Tomorrow, my mother will make them a set of clothes with her own hands."

"Okay!"

"You're hungry, go wash your hands and come and have supper."

Chen Xiaofan jumped and washed his hands, while Yan Ning looked at Zhuang Xiaoya.

"What are you looking at?" Zhuang Xiaoya touched her face, thinking that she had something dirty.

"I'm wondering how the unreasonable daughter of the Axe and Tiger Gang, the Jianzhou Tea House, could have become so virtuous now?" Yan Ning said with a smile.

Zhuang Xiaoya gave Yan Ning a angrily glance: "Are you worried about you father and son every day?"

"What do I have to worry about?" Yan Ning said guiltily.

"Don't think I don't know. For the past ten years, you have been to the north mountain every day, sitting for most of the day, not practicing, just staring blankly..."

Yan Ning was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm just going to see the scenery."

Zhuang Xiaoya smiled faintly, stroked Yan Ning's face, and said, "When you have time, you should shave your stubble all over your face."

He lowered his head, his face reflected in the light fish soup. When he recalled the past, Yan Ning couldn't help but smile.

Compared to ten years ago, I have changed a lot.

What changed Yan Ning was not time, but this kind of ordinary life.

Chen Xiaofan came back, and he returned to the table, and Zhuang Xiaoya picked up a few pieces of fish for him.

Chen Xiaofan has a good appetite and can eat two bowls of rice each meal.

At this time, outside the fence of the yard, a huge figure emerged from the forest, and his shiny black eyes looked at Yan Ning and others in the yard.

As if he felt something, Chen Xiaofan turned around, looked at the huge shadow and shouted: "Big gray?"

Big gray is the name Chen Xiaofan gave to the grizzly bear.

A grizzly bear, five meters tall, crawled out of the woods. It was holding a mud pot in its hand. It waved hands to Yan Ning and others spiritually, and said, "Can I... come in?"

Chen Xiaofan looked at Yan Ning. In the past, Yan Ning never let Da Hui enter the yard, but the situation today is special.

"Come in." Yan Ning said lightly.

The grizzly bear was particularly happy, but with its toes on its feet, carefully crossing the fence, fearing that it would break Yan Ning's things.

It squatted beside Chen Xiaofan. Chen Xiaofan touched Dahui's belly and asked, "Dahui, are you hungry too?"

"I'm full." The Grizzly Bear was so amused and crying.

"Then what are you doing?"

"I heard that today is your mother's birthday, so I specially sent you some of the honey I treasured."

The grizzly bear opened the earthen jar, and the fragrance of honey suddenly made Chen Xiaofan drool.

"Let's put it aside," Yan Ning said, "After dinner, wait for me on the mountain in the north."

"Good!"

When the grizzly bear heard this, she immediately smiled, as if she had found a treasure.

Everyone had a peaceful and pleasant dinner while eating dishes and singing birthday songs. After dinner, Chen Xiaofan took the initiative to take on the task of washing dishes, while Zhuang Xiaoya was preparing to make clothes for the little clay man.

"Go to Beishan."

Yan Ning walked out of the yard with the grizzly bear.

Chen Xiaofan, who was washing dishes, felt itchy and curious when he saw his father leaving with the Grizzly Bear.

He looked back at his mother in the room, gently put down the bowls and chopsticks, and tiptoed out.

Not long after, Zhuang Xiaoya walked out of the door with the needle and thread, but she did not see Chen Xiaofan's shadow.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xiaofan, this little guy, ran out to play again. This child is good everywhere, but he just looks like his father, and he is playful!"

She was not worried that something might happen to Chen Xiaofan. All the animals on the Sanqing Island were Chen Xiaofan's friends.

Moreover, the reason why these animals are willing to be friends with Chen Xiaofan is not because they covet the strength of Yan Ning and Zhuang Xiaoya, but because they are all based on Chen Xiaofan's own kindness.

Of course, those who can become friends with Chen Xiaofan are also some intelligent animals, such as the grizzly bear who has been wandering at the peak of the Demon King for a long time.

Under the moonlight, the path was winding. Chen Xiaofan knew where the Beishan Mountain his father often went, so he didn't need to follow him at all. He walked towards Beishan with ease.
