Chapter 54: Five Years Later...I haven't even started developing yet!

Xiang Chen's birthday falls in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, not long after which the Chinese New Year is celebrated.

Originally, Xu Hengzhou planned to quietly celebrate Xiang Chen's birthday, but unexpectedly, Song Wenbin brought up the matter in advance. Xu Hengzhou then remembered that Xu Dashan's younger son was also born in winter. He subtly probed for information and indeed, Xu Dashan's younger son also had his birthday in the same month, although Song Wenbin didn't know the specific day.

This made things simple. Not knowing the exact day of the other child's birthday, Xu Hengzhou reported Xiang Chen's birthday when Song Wenbin inquired.

On Xiang Chen's birthday, Xu Hengzhou put effort into making him a cake. Without an oven, steaming in a pot didn't achieve the desired fluffiness – it was more like an egg pancake. Nevertheless, the taste was quite good, and Xiang Chen ate several pieces on his own.

During this time, children were happy to have eggs on their birthdays, and there was no insistence on receiving birthday gifts. However, Song Wenbin still prepared a gift for Xiang Chen. Lacking experience, he asked Xiang Chen if there was anything he wanted and ended up buying him a few books.

There weren't many extracurricular books for children in Qingjiang City. Song Wenbin had to visit the bookstore several times before finding the few he bought.

Upon flipping through them, Xiang Chen found that they were stories with a hint of science fiction, printed plainly but with interesting content.

For dinner, Xu Hengzhou made noodles, and Song Wenbin helped with the dough. The whole family gathered to enjoy a meal of longevity noodles.

Lying in bed at night, Xu Hengzhou asked Xiang Chen if there was any gift he desired. With the resources in his space, Xu Hengzhou could almost fulfill all of Xiang Chen's wishes.

Xiang Chen tilted his head, contemplating for a while. Finally, he held his brother's hand and whispered, "When I was little, I wished for a brother to play with, someone who wouldn't let others bully me. So now, I'm already very satisfied."

A warm smile filled Xu Hengzhou's eyes as he gently ruffled Xiang Chen's hair. The child's hair was soft, and Xu Hengzhou had heard people say that children with soft hair had soft hearts.

"Any other wishes?" Xu Hengzhou asked.

Glancing at him, Xiang Chen whispered, "Brother, tell me a story."

Xu Hengzhou hesitated for a moment. He hadn't read or heard many stories, especially fairy tales. He suggested, "How about I tell you about some experiences I had in my youth? I participated in a military summer camp and encountered some interesting things."

"Wow, like the Boy Scouts?" Xiang Chen became excited. He had no idea that his brother had such experiences.

Xu Hengzhou paused for a moment, understanding Xiang Chen's enthusiasm for military uniforms. "Not exactly," he began, "Once, during field training, we set up tents..."

"Xiang Chen, hurry up!" It was barely dawn, but the residential building was already bustling with activity. Xiao Huzi, holding a bamboo basket, urged incessantly, "Hurry up! If you're late, there won't be anything good left!"
