He carried the baby into the house, threw it on the bed and sat by the stove to roast it, as if it were not a life, but a piece of garbage that could be thrown away at any time: "What a bad luck! An old man died at the door, and he picked up a child, Xiang'er, you feed him something to eat, and I will sell him tomorrow, our family has no money to raise this broom star. ”

The girl named Shang'er was only four or five years old, but she had no objection to his words about selling children, put down the hot bun in her hand, and took a dry steamed bun casually, regardless of whether the child could eat it or not.

The child is too young to eat this, so he can't bite it in his mouth for a while, so he swallows it directly, choking and coughing, and his little face is purple and red.

When the man saw this, he came over a few steps and rudely poured some water, and the child was much better, but he couldn't stop crying.

The girl who was roasting the fire angrily covered her ears and complained to her father: "Dad! He's always crying, he's annoying! Let's throw it away. ”

The man didn't think how cruel the girl said was, although he also thought that the child was too annoying, but thinking of the couple who had bought the child before, he coaxed the girl and said: "Bear with it, Mrs. Zhang in the town gave ten taels of silver yesterday and wanted a boy, for the silver, just endure it for one night, and when you get the silver tomorrow, Dad will go to the market to buy you a beautiful dress, okay?" ”

For daughters, men are always humble and extremely flattering.

The girl reluctantly pouted: "Okay, but I don't want a skirt anymore, I want to buy some more scripts." ”

Seeing that the girl agreed, the man hurriedly said, "Okay! Buy as much as you want! ”

After the negotiation was settled, the man went to prepare dinner.

The girl sat alone by the fire and looked through the script for a while, but she was so noisy that she couldn't read it, so she threw away the notebook, ran to the baby angrily, lifted the wrap and twisted his arms and legs hard, and scolded while twisting:

"Make you noisy! If you quarrel again, I'll let Daddy sew your mouth shut! ”

The child's skin is already delicate, and it is a piece of red when he is lightly pinched, but now he is abused like this, and his body suddenly looks a little scary.

But the child didn't understand anything, and the more she pinched her, the more he cried.

Being noisy and helpless, the girl glared at the baby viciously, wrapped his quilt casually, and planned to go to the fire, and inadvertently saw the jade pendant that fell from the baby, which was clear and beautiful, so he picked it up and looked at it carefully, thinking of the story told in the book, and hurriedly took the jade pendant to the man who was cooking: "Daddy! Look! This jade pendant is exactly the same as the one I saw in the city before!! ”

The man was stir-frying, and when she messed with it, the oil splashed on his hands, and several blisters formed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The girl only glanced at it with a salty face, then ignored it, still holding the jade pendant to show him.

The man didn't care about the injury on his hand, gently rubbed her head, took the jade pendant and took a closer look.

Delicate in the hand, warm and smooth.

This color is excellent at first glance, and it must be worth a lot of money.

He hurriedly asked, "Where did this jade pendant come from?" ”

The girl pointed to the crying child on the bed: "It fell out of his clothes." ”

Seeing that the man looked at the jade pendant thoughtfully, the girl said again: "Dad, maybe this is a lost son, who can afford to wear this kind of jade pendant, the family must be very rich!" Don't sell him. ”

The man held the jade pendant and calculated.

This jade pendant is clearly something of the Bai family, maybe this child really has something to do with the Bai family, if you send this child back to the Bai family to ask for a bounty now, the origin of this child is unclear, and the person who sent him is also dead, and he can't explain it clearly even if he has a hundred mouths, it is easy to attract misunderstanding, it is better to raise him first, and then go to the Bai family to ask for more silver, maybe he can climb a relative.

Thinking so, he put the jade pendant into a box and put it away.
