Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

The next day, Pei was woken up at dawn.

The old nuns were going to deliver fruits to the believers, so little Pei couldn't stay in the nunnery alone.

To be honest, the only person in this nunnery who is worth some money is Pei Xiaohai.

As long as you take her away, nothing will be lost even if you don't close the door.

Little Pei didn't get enough sleep and was a bit lazy and didn't want to move. When she was caught, dressed, and laid on the ground, she refused to open her eyes. When the master asked her who she wanted to go with, she stretched out her arms for a hug.

The strongest and smallest one, Jingchi, picked her up.

Little Pei opened his eyes: "I don't want you."

"As if someone wants you," Jingchi sneered, "Either I carry you away, or you walk with them on your legs. It's your choice."

Little Pei twisted his body, pouted, and reluctantly broke free from her embrace to pull at the corner of his master's clothes.

Smart children will either be a little tired or a little painful, but not both tired and painful.

Don't think she doesn't know that Master Jingchi won't hold her forever. If she acts like a donkey, Master Jingchi will definitely beat her!

No! She wanted to take her there just to beat her up!

Cheng Tianbao was like a jerk, still asking:

"Why don't you go with her? It's so nice not to have to walk. Are you afraid of getting beaten if you don't go?"

Pei Xiaohai asked back, "Why do you talk like a fart? So loud and useless?"

Cheng Tianbao: ...

Cheng Tianbao angrily decided not to provoke her this time because her words were so rude.

After eating the vegetarian meal and closing the door, the four people and one ghost went down the mountain.

Pei had short legs and couldn't walk fast, and Jinghui was old and walked slowly too. It wasn't a matter of urgency, so the two of them soon fell behind.

After walking and resting for a while, Little Pei asked Jinghui, "Master, are we going to Peijia Town?"

Jinghui: "No, it's too far. Let's go to Sanyang Village."

Pei Xiaohai: "Is Sanyang Village Xu Gan's mother's hometown?"

"Yes, she lives there. I'll take you to see her later," Jinghui said. "Do you still remember what your Ganniang Xu looks like?"

This time, Pei Xiaohai thought for a moment before answering:

"Is it the beautiful godmother?"

"Yes, that's her, the one with the red mole under her eye. Remember to call for help if you see her."

Jinghui hasn't taken Pei to Sanyang Village for a long time. The child really doesn't like to walk. Although he is not fat, he is very heavy to carry all the time.

Fortunately, she is young and no one will say anything to her if she doesn't go.

I thought she had forgotten it, but luckily she still remembered it. It saved me trouble and others will be happy to hear it.

Jinghui asked her again if she remembered any other godparents.

Pei Xiaohai thought for a long time, and could only think of a pork seller named Hu Gandi and a thin and fierce Wang Ganniang. He also emphasized:

"They love to quarrel."

Jinghui felt a toothache after hearing this. She wanted to explain that these two people did not like to quarrel, but she felt it was difficult to say.

The two people are from the same village. The Hu family and Wang Ganniang's in-laws are notoriously at odds with each other. Even the younger generations of the two families don't get along with each other. They fight whenever they meet. In the past, the two families almost fought over the issue of adopting a child.

In fact, there are many people in these villages who don’t want children, and they don’t necessarily need this child, but they just don’t want the other party to get the upper hand.

If Jingneng and Jingchi would deliberately avoid Pei's biological parents' home, then Jinghui would deliberately avoid her two adopted relatives.

The last time she went there, when the child was two years old, the two families were fighting over the child, as if they wanted to tear her into pieces. She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. After that, whenever she watched from afar, she would pick up the child and take a detour.

Jinghui was a little worried: "You still remember them, do you miss them?"

"No," Pei Xiaohai said without hesitation, "I don't really remember it, I just heard someone say it."

When Pei Xiaohai followed the old nuns to beg for alms, she heard a lot of gossip. The gossip of these two people was always lively, so she remembered it.

As for my memory, I only vaguely remember the faces of both men, both of whom looked fierce.

Jinghui breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and then said:

"When you have time, Master will take you to see them."

Pei Xiaohai nodded indifferently.

Cheng Tianbao asked curiously, "How many godfathers and godmothers do you have?"

Pei Xiaohai had never counted this either, so he could only ask Jinghui.

“It’s not too much, you have a godmother named Xu, a godmother named Wang, and a godmother named Pei.

There is a Godfather Hu who sells pork, a Godfather Zhang who works as an accountant, and a Godfather Liu whose family owns a lot of land. You, Godfather Liu, and Godmother Pei are a family.

Oh, yes, you also have a godfather named Pei, your uncle Pei's younger brother, who lives far away in the imperial capital. You haven't met him. Don't you have a silver bracelet? It was given to you by him."

It is called a bracelet, but in fact it is just a thin plain circle with two bells on it and tied with a red rope. It cost only a few dozen coins at the time, and it is no longer wearable now.

However, that was the only valuable thing Pei Xiaohai had. She was afraid of losing it, so she asked her master to help her hide it.

Seeing his master say that, Pei Xiao was shocked and hurriedly said to Cheng Tianbao: "Don't tell anyone that I have the bracelet! If someone steals it, I will hate you forever!"

Cheng Tianbao: "Who should I tell? What's that rare thing you have? Let me see it when you get back."

"Okay, I'll show you one," Pei Xiaohai said, and then he instructed Jinghui, "Master, don't mention my bracelet outside. What if someone bad hears it?"

Jinghui burst out laughing when he heard this.

There is no need for bad guys to climb such a long mountain to steal such worthless items.

However, she knew that her little disciple was very proud and did not say anything, but continued to talk about the kiss:

"Didn't your Godmother Xu marry the head of Sanyang Village? Head Zhao is also considered your godfather, but that's all."

There are indeed quite a few.

As soon as Jinghui finished speaking, Pei Xiaohai had almost forgotten it.

Only Cheng Tianbao counted on his fingers:

"One... two... three. Oh my God, you have three mothers and five fathers. Add your biological parents, and that makes... ten people. Add their children, and that's how many people there are. Can you remember?"

Pei Xiaohai: "Why should I remember him?"

Cheng Tianbao: "If you don't remember, how can you recognize someone?"

Little Pei was very cheerful: "If they look familiar, just call them. Even if they called me the wrong name, I think they were very happy to hear it. I gave them more food."

Cheng Tianbao: "How can you be so greedy?"

Jinghui: ...

She said something was weird!

"Don't do this again. Master will tell you."

"Okay..." Pei Xiaohai felt a little regretful.

The two people and the ghost chatted and laughed, and Sanyang Village was right in front of them.

This village was built only about two hundred years ago. As its name suggests, there are three sheep heads hung on the pillars at the entrance, tied with colorful red cloth.

It is said that the ancestors of Sanyang Village fled here and initially relied on three sheep to support their family. The village prospered step by step, and now sheep are still the most common livestock in the village.

It’s just that many people from other families have moved into the village in recent years.

However, the positions of village head and village chief are still held by people with the surname Zhao.
