Chapter 1: A Baby
After a night of heavy snowfall, the sky was just dawning, and the north wind roared to lift the snow on the windowsills and eaves, bragging unscrupulously to show off the cold weather that was enough to freeze pigs and dogs to death.
But in this kind of ghost weather, in an inconspicuous cardboard box in the corner of the alley, you can faintly hear the faint cry of an intermittent baby.
At the same time, in a simple house at the end of this alley, Jiang Hao, who was lying on the bed, shrunk his feet into the quilt that was a little damp due to the resurgence of the house, and the raised eyebrows on his face, which had always been smiling, also wrinkled at this time, because in this room with ventilation on all sides, the damp quilt made him feel colder.
When he didn't have a job, Jiang Haoai hid in bed and slept, and now after a mental struggle between being too cold in the quilt and his stomach protesting, he decided to go out and buy something to eat. So a spring sat up and went out without washing his face.
Pushing open the door, the cold wind went straight into the collar of his coat, and he couldn't help but shrink back a little, just then he heard several cat meow baby cries from the corner next to the doorway.
Jiang Hao's vision and hearing were different from ordinary people, he immediately realized something, and when he got closer, he really saw that there was really a baby in the cardboard box whose face was already purple and blue. Seeing this scene, Jiang Hao did not hesitate, carefully picked up the baby and left.
A moment later, the door to Sister-in-law Zhang's house opened with a creak.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, what's the matter with this kid crying all the time?"
"Oh, it's hungry. Feed some millet soup and mix it with egg yolks, poor boy..... These parents are really making karma......"
"Millet soup...... How? ”
"Where can a man bring a child? If there is a suitable girl, hurry up and find a .......oops...... Such a good-looking child is still so young, just throw it away, fortunately I met you Jiang Hao, otherwise this child doesn't know what will happen...... I can't see that you're a young man......
Neighbor Zhang's sister-in-law chattered while teaching him how to cook rice soup to feed the baby, and then brought a few clean rag clothes, and cut several pieces of cloth with scissors to teach him how to change diapers. Seeing that the pink baby's face turned ruddy and warm, he slowly fell asleep after drinking the rice soup.
"Jiang Hao, what do you do? What about the income? I have a distant cousin niece, and she is very good-looking. I see that you young man is very good, and I will introduce you to you another day. ”
Sister-in-law Zhang saw that the baby was also asleep, and chatted with Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Zhang, you see that I am a single person, and I will set up a stall in Panjiayuan to tell the hexagram, but I can't afford to raise a daughter-in-law, and this baby is fateful, hehe...... It's good to be raised by a daughter......"
The residents of the community are like being clairvoyant and having ears, especially those retired aunts and uncles who love to gossip when they have nothing to do. Therefore, the news that Jiang Hao picked up the child immediately spread throughout the community.
And Jiang Hao, who has a baby, put away his sloppy appearance in the past, and rented a clean small room, and set up a stall every day when the baby goes out early and returns late. Not long after, a small shop called "Jixiang Pavilion" was also set up in Panjiayuan, selling some auspicious items such as transshipment prayers. Sometimes I will take some private work, and as for what kind of work I do, no one in the neighborhood knows for the time being.
In other words, the neighbor's sister-in-law Zhang is really a warm-hearted person, seeing that Jiang Hao is still the father after he has a baby, he really looks like a serious person in his small life. These neighbors are watching.
As for the fact that Sister-in-law Zhang said that she wanted to introduce Jiang Hao to the object, he had already rushed to the sewer with the water for washing diapers. Unexpectedly, a few days later, Sister-in-law Zhang really brought a white girl to Jiang Hao's house.
This girl's name is Bai Xiaohua, and as her name suggests, her big round eyes are as pure as a blooming flower. A bow tied in her dark hair. The girl looked at Jiang Hao's always raised eyebrows and the expression that kept smiling, and she felt as if she was looking at the sunny sky outside.
Looking at Jiang Hao, who was obviously a boy but white like a big girl, his hair had just been cut short, although he was wearing thin and simple, the earring on his left ear was sparkling with a ruby. Although it was a little strange for a man to wear earrings at that time, in Bai Xiaohua's eyes, this earring on his ear looked extremely coordinated, as if it should have been there.
Bai Xiaohua kept her head down and fiddled with her hands, looking at her orchid cloth skirt. In his heart, he was thinking about how to start chatting with Jiang Hao, but this Jiang Hao was not like the usual young men on the street: either he looked at himself and posted it like a fly, or he deliberately accosted him because his family had money. It's a pair of eyes that are always on the child in his arms, and he doesn't seem to be able to see himself at all.
Bai Xiaohua is holding the baby, it is normal to look at it during the day, and when she is holding the child, the sea has been making the baby laugh, and there is a sentence chatting with Jiang Hao.
"Brother Jiang, this kid is so good-looking."
"Yes, this kid is smart."
"I heard Sister-in-law Zhang say that you picked up this child on the side of the road?"
"Yes, you said that the current parents are really irresponsible, such a cute baby will throw it away, this is a life."
"You're such a good person."
"Well-wishers can't talk about it, people's hearts have rods and scales, just don't do bad things. Look how beautiful this kid looks when he laughs. ”
At this time, Jiang Hao didn't find out the girl's thoughts, and he didn't know why the girl came to his house, if he said that such a bright white flower would fall in love with himself, a poor bachelor, Jiang Hao didn't believe it. After all, Bai Xiaohua is a big girl and has never held a child, Jiang Hao is always worried that she will bump the child, and she will pick up the child after a while.
Bai Xiaohua kept praising how cute the baby was, while peeking at Jiang Hao with her eyes. Looking at it, Bai Xiaohua blushed, this man is a warm-hearted life, and it will not be bad if he thinks about it.
Before you know it, it's getting late. After sending Bai Xiaohua away, Jiang Hao was tired from being a father and a mother all day, and he fell asleep in such a daze at night. In my sleep, the indoor temperature dropped suddenly, "It's so heavy yin." Jiang Hao sat up from the bed suddenly.
He searched for the source of the yin qi, and in the moonlight, he happened to see a bewitching woman wearing an orchid cloth standing next to the baby. The woman obviously looked like a white flower, but it was completely different from the pure white flower she saw during the day, the woman's miserable white face was bewitching and dangerous, and there was an evil aura that was not like a human breath, she saw that Jiang Hao had woken up and grabbed the baby and wanted to escape.
Jiang Hao didn't have time to think, and quickly threw out eight charms that hung in the air like lightning around the woman, this spell was not an ordinary charm, it was a demon formation arranged according to the direction of the gossip, in order to prevent the "woman" from escaping with the child.
I only heard Jiang Hao shouting loudly in a hurry: "Put down that child." ”

PS:
It's rare for the confused little brother to look at it and ask: Beijing's winter is dry, so there should be no resurgence of moisture. I believe that some friends who read carefully will also have this question. ~ Baby: Now explain the reason why the quilt will return to moisture:
1. The bungalow where Jiang Hao lives is not heated.
2. Jiang Hao's house is close to the corner of the end of the alley, and there is no gable, so it is easier to frost in the corner of the wall in winter.
3. When the weather is good, after the sun comes out, the frost in the corner will melt again, so that the house will return to moisture.
4. If the frost or fog on the window melts, water will flow out along the wall, and the wall will also seep water because of the slow frost.
5, Jiang Hao's bed is against the wall, and the quilt is easier to absorb moisture~~ At the same time, Jiang Hao was poor when he was young, just a stall, similar to the life of a homeless man, in order to solve the problem of food and clothing, he didn't have the mood to dry or wash the only set of quilts in sunny weather. In this way, his wet quilt will continue all winter (snickering) I will go back to see the typos in the text, and revise it carefully, thank you for the correction of the rare confused little brother~ I also welcome every friend to find a problem and can give me a correction, even if I correct it, I just started the first book in the snow, there are many problems, I will work hard ~~
