Hearing what the maid said, Mrs. Bai sat down with the baby in her arms, reached out to take the purse, and pinched it in her hand, which was warm and soft.

Obviously, I saw it with my own eyes and fell into the water, but the things in my hands at the moment were not half wet, it was really a terrible thing, just ask the girl to put it away, and ask Master Bai later.

After packing up and holding the baby out, the people were already having dinner in Zhangluo, Mrs. Bai took the girl directly to the side table in the main hall to sit, and put the girl on the chair and sat down next to each other.

The eldest young master of the Bai family moved to another courtyard since he became married, but he still followed his parents in the main courtyard, and brought his wife from his own courtyard to have dinner at this time.

At this time, Bai Rong finished bathing, changed his clothes and was preparing for the sacrifice in the courtyard, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, there is no need for a big sacrifice, just worship a little.

Bai Shaozheng, the young master of Bai, is twenty this year, just got married last year, and now he has no children, so he took his wife to say hello to Bai Rong, who was busy in the courtyard, and entered the main hall;

Passing through the center of the hall, I saw my mother sitting on the side, and I was about to step forward, but I found that there was a little girl sitting next to my mother...

Having never seen this child, Bai Shaozheng's eyes widened, and he blurted out: "Mother? Where did this kid come from? ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Bai to answer, she hurriedly said: "I can give birth myself, don't just pick one up for me, I'm fine with Xiangjun!"

Obviously, the eldest young master's temperament is deeply inherited by Mrs. Bai. Lin Xiangjun, the eldest young grandmother, didn't think about this, she just thought it was a doll of her in-laws and friends, and she was carefully looking at the handsome little face.

Mrs. Bai glared at Bai Shaozheng:

"What nonsense, this is what your father met on the road back, and he was separated from his father and mother, and he has already sent someone to the town to ask."

Bai Dashao raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from the corners of his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. I took the lady and sat down on a chair to the side, waiting for the table to begin.

The rules of the Bai family are not big, and Master Bai doesn't care about these, as long as he doesn't go to the table first, he won't break his legs.

Master Bai was almost finished the sacrifice when he heard a sound of laughter outside the courtyard.

Bai Shaojie, the second young master of the Bai family, is three out of ten this year, and it is when he is crazy, he dresses seriously on weekdays, but he is not childish, that is, he is a child.

Bai Shaojie ran into the courtyard with his new gadget, followed by the little scholar Qinghong, seeing Bai Rong worshipping, Qinghong obediently saluted, Bai Shaojie hurriedly put his hands behind his back:

"Dad, you're back? Did you bring me something fun...", suddenly felt that he was asking the wrong question, and hurriedly remedied:

"Dad, I mean, did you go well on this trip?"

Bai Rong glanced at him with his eyelids:

"I know how to play all day long, have you studied well? If you don't give me a good study, be careful that I clean you up! ”

Bai Shaojie immediately looked like a good child: "I know, Dad, I have a very serious study, I don't believe you can ask your mother, I just play today for the New Year." ”

Bai Rong snorted: "It's good to know." Bai Rong had finished the sacrifice, and the subordinates began to withdraw the sacrifices; Bai Rong washed his hands and entered the main hall, and Bai Shaojie followed behind him and secretly stuck out his tongue and grimaced.

As soon as Bai Ershao entered the house, he shouted: "Mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, I'm back..."

"Huh? Who is this? Who's from? After taking a closer look, he said: "It's not from a relative's family, nor is it from my father's friend's family, is this my father's sister born to me?" "Sure enough, this intelligence is the true inheritance of Mrs. Bai.

Master Bai twisted his brows, his temples jumped suddenly, the corners of Mrs. Bai's eyes twitched, Master Bai looked like he was watching a good show, Grandma Bai secretly covered her mouth and smiled, and the people who came in and out also endured.

The girl sat obediently, holding her little hands and opening her eyes wide, looking at this and that, and not speaking.

Bai Rong really wanted to give him a few popping chestnuts, and glanced at the lady next to him:

Alas, why didn't one of the two sons follow me, just because he looked good with his wife, I don't know what kind of mess I was thinking.

Mrs. Bai raised her hand and pretended to pat her youngest son: "Don't talk nonsense, this is what your father met on the way back, and he was separated from his father." ”

Bai Shaojie sighed: "I also said that our family will be more lively in the future!" ”

Bai Rong's brows knotted: "Isn't it lively enough for this family to have you (the three mothers)?" "No, it's not lively, it's nonsense:

"Look at how old you are, what do you look like one day, what do you have in your hand, bring it to me."

Bai Shaojie said happily, forgetful, he didn't remember that he still had something in his hand, this was done after running in the town for a long time, a wooden villain bought by an old man's stall, his hands, feet and head can move, he is not rare enough, don't let the old man burn it.

Just as he was about to speak, Bai Rong had already reached over:

"If you don't learn well all day long, you will know how to play, whether it is still hidden in the room, see if I don't burn it for you..."

Bai Ershao shouted while hiding:

"Daddy, daddy, no, just this one, don't burn it, don't burn it..."

"Dad, don't burn it, just this one, for my sister, for my sister."

Bai Rong glared and jumped to his feet in anger: "Bastard..."

Bai Ershao couldn't wait to bite off his tongue:

"No, no, it's not for this little sister, give it to her." Bai Shaozheng had already unceremoniously slapped the table next to him and laughed.

The girl held the doll in her hand, opened her curious eyes, and gently touched the hand of the wooden man with her little short fingers.

In the year of not being confused, he has long been accustomed to this mother, and Bai Rong no longer knows what to say.

After a long time, the next person has already set the meal, and you can sit down to eat; Bai Rong took chopsticks to signal the meal, and the next person lit a red paper firecracker at the gate of the courtyard, except for the two girls who were waiting on the side, the other people also started to eat in the kitchen, and left a whole good meal for the girl who was waiting, and they couldn't treat them badly.

Today's New Year, there are fewer rules than usual, the food is good, the people eat happily, and the Bai family in the main hall naturally eats happily, and even the girl forgets to find her father for the time being.

Mrs. Bai sandwiched the fatty fish, carefully removed the fish bones, and put them into the small bowl of the girl who was concentrating on eating.

She eats very well, although the small chopsticks in her hand are not very stable, but she has pinched it decently, she is not dirty when she eats, she sits there obediently, takes small bites, does not make noise, eats whatever she wants, and gives her vegetables and looks at you with wide eyes, and the corners of her mouth show a smile, but she doesn't like to talk, probably recognizes life.

After the family finished the New Year's dinner, they sat in the hall and drank tea, and Mrs. Bai asked her subordinates to knock walnuts and bring them in, and carefully picked walnut meat for the female baby to eat.

The girl still sat there obediently eating, holding the wooden figure given by Bai Shaojie with one hand, and eating walnuts on the plate with the other hand, which looked so lovely, and the family couldn't help but smile on their faces.

Bai Ershao couldn't help but want to tease her: "Little sister, what's your name..."

Bai Ershao turned his head and secretly looked at Master Bai who was sitting on the main seat, and closed his lips; After a while, he asked the girl, "Would you like to give my brother a meal?" ”

The girl's eyes were round and she looked at him, the walnut kernel in her hand had just been put half into her mouth, and when she saw Bai Shaojie asking for it, she pulled it out and handed it to him, her hand was not long enough, so she moved her body and tried to put it to his mouth, the walnut kernel seemed to be stained with her saliva, Bai Er swallowed her saliva, and didn't know what to do: it was really self-inflicted!

Seeing that he didn't eat, the girl looked at him innocently with big eyes and watery eyes, and her mouth was puffed as if she was going to cry out in the next moment;

Bai Er Shao glanced at Mrs. Bai on the left, and she clearly looked: If you make her cry, you can try it! Turning his head to look at the smiling brother and sister-in-law on the right.

Turning his gaze back, he looked at the big watery eyes, as well as the white and tender little face and the red little mouth, he was stunned, and then he opened his mouth stupidly and bit the walnut kernel into his mouth.

The girl smiled without warning, her eyes were crooked like crescents, and her mouth was slightly open, revealing a row of neat and beautiful little teeth; I haven't seen a smile all day.

Seeing her like this, Bai Shaojie forgot that the walnut kernel in his mouth still carried the saliva of the female baby, and the corners of his mouth were also upturned, and Mrs. Bai was also happy.

At this time, Bai Rong spoke: "Dongmei, Erhu has also eaten when he comes back, go and call him." ”

"Yes, sir."

After a while, Erhu entered the main hall and stood in front of Bai Rong, who was sitting on the main seat: "Master."

Bai Rong put down the teacup and raised his eyes: "How did you go to the town and ask?" ”

"Back to the master, the little one went to the town all over, I didn't see anyone looking for a baby, the yamen also asked, no one came to report the loss of the doll, I have already said hello, if someone comes to report, the yamen will send someone over."

Bai Rong bowed: "Okay, you go down." ”

At this time, Lin Xiangjun was holding the female baby, family, you look at me, I look at you, there is no other way at the moment, but to wait.

The girl doesn't understand this, staying in the arms of the adult and playing with the villain in her hand, her eyes are bright, obviously she is very happy to play with the villain.

Mrs. Bai looked at her and sighed: "Such a well-behaved girl, who lost it, should be in a hurry." ”

Lin Xiangjun comforted her and said, "Mother, don't worry, if someone else loses it, it will definitely come to find it." ”

Bai Shaozheng also said: "Yes, mother, in the past few days, I have asked my subordinates to go around a few streets in the town, and someone will definitely be able to find it." ”

Mrs. Bai thinks about it, such a well-behaved doll, people must be reluctant to ask for it, and they will come to find it, but there is a little loss in her heart. He looked down at the girl and asked her, "Is it okay to sleep with your aunt tonight?" Daddy's home, will he pick you up tomorrow? The female doll understood this sentence and nodded obediently.

It's just that no one knows that the man who suddenly encountered an accident and had not had time to react was pulled by officers and soldiers to a military camp hundreds of miles away at the fork in the road in Chunxi Town, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive.
