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

Ever since the old nuns left, Little Pei has never been surrounded by anyone again.

But today, the Liu family surrounded her.

This was naturally not to show concern for her or to teach her a lesson, but to surround her and ask what was going on with the egg.

Unfortunately, Little Pei didn’t know much. She just wanted to find a place where no one was around, and then helped Pumpkin dig the ground, and she dug out this thing.

An ugly cat head popped out of the pumpkin's pouch, looking at the big egg with greed, which also confirmed what Pei Xiaohai said.

As for where that place was, she couldn't tell, and it was Shuanzi who said, "It's Fifth Grandma's house."

Fifth Grandma is the grandmother of Changsui and Baifu. Liu Renben asked Cuimei to find them and ask them if they remembered anything.

Changsui and Baifu thought for a long time before speaking.

"Can not remember."

Liu Renben: "Don't forget it, think about it again, it's such a big thing, you couldn't have missed it when you brought it home, right?"

"This... seems to be the big rock that grandma picked up," Changsui said uncertainly.

Baifu: "This is it. I wanted to touch it, but grandma wouldn't let me. She said that if we have this, we will be rich."

Chang Sui: "Yes, grandma seemed to have said that we should take it to the county to sell it."

"Then why was it buried in the ground again?" Pei Zhu asked.

This question is easy for the brother and sister to answer.

Chang Sui shrugged and said, "I'm afraid our mother will steal it. She always steals money from our family."

Changsui and Baifu only knew this much and had no idea where they picked it up.

Little Pei interrupted: "It can't be a stone. Pumpkin really wants to eat it. It must be an egg. Let's boil it."

Baifu sucked his fingers and remembered something: "Grandma smelled so good that day, and there was something wet and sticky on her trouser legs..."

Chang Sui: "What's that sweet smell? Why can't I smell it?"

"You farted, and I couldn't smell it anymore!" Baifu was still a little angry when she said this. She originally wanted to ask her grandma if there was anything delicious.

But her brother was a coward. He had a stomachache and it was still dark, so he didn't dare go to the toilet by himself. He asked her to go with him and wait for them to come back. Grandma had already changed her clothes and buried the thing.

Grandma told them to boil eggs and tell them not to tell anyone else about this. The eggs were delicious, so she forgot about the delicious taste.

Baifu remembered that his parents were not others and told them all.

The Liu family looked at each other in confusion.

Old man Liu Tongsheng, still hard of hearing and confused, asked loudly, "Huh? What eggs? I already told you, I don't like eggs!"

Old Madam Liu Lianhua rolled her eyes at him and said, "Shut up, no one's asking you any questions. Kid, take your brothers and sisters and send Grandpa back to the house."

Pei Xiaohai is not a four-year-old child, she reacted immediately.

She wants to get us away!

Adults always talk like this, and they often say things that are not meant for children to hear. Pei Xiaohai didn't understand what was so interesting about an egg. She just boiled it. If she had known they were so nagging, she would not have brought it back.

Pei Xiaohai pouted reluctantly, took Liu Tongsheng's hand, and said loudly: "Uncle, let's go back to the house."

Changsui and Baifu had no suspicion and followed him happily.

Liu Lianhua loves quietness. Apart from talking to Liu Tongsheng and Aunt Yu, she hardly ever leaves the house. She also doesn't like others coming to their house. Changsui and Baifu rarely come in to play, and they are curious about everything.

Liu Tongren and them were having a very happy chat even though it was completely irrelevant. Little Pei couldn't sit still for a while and found an excuse to say:

"I'll get you some water."

Baifu handed her the teapot: "Sister, are you thirsty? Here is some water."

"It's cold now. It's not good to drink cold water." Pei Xiaohai didn't take it. He jumped off the bed and ran out.

Chang Sui: "But doesn't she drink cold water every day?"

"What good horse?" Liu Tongsheng said, "Horses are too expensive and not practical. I don't want to buy any good horse!"

Chang Sui was curious and asked him loudly, "What should I buy?"

"Katydid!" Liu Tongsheng heard clearly this time and answered without hesitation, a look of joy on his face. "I bought a particularly majestic katydid for ten taels of silver. My father was so angry that he stripped off my pants and broke three vines. I lay in bed for a month and Xiao Lianhua almost quit living with me. But that katydid was really good."

Changsui and Baifu covered their buttocks at the same time. Three canes, it must be painful!

"Grandpa, you're really tough."

……

Little Pei sneaked under the wall and listened to the people talking inside.

Unfortunately, I arrived a little late and missed a lot. I only heard Pei Gan Niang say excitedly:

"What the kid said isn't necessarily true. This thing is so sharp when you kick it. It doesn't look like an egg at all. I think it looks more like a piece of jade."

Little Pei had seen jade bracelets before, but they were not that shiny, and there was no wisp of blue mist. His godmother was lying with her eyes open.

Grandma Liu said, "The color is similar, but jade doesn't have this shape."

"That might not be a dragon egg. It could be a snake egg."

Pei Xiaohai's heart began to pound when she heard her godmother's words. She felt that the egg might really be from a dragon.

Grandma Liu said, "Have you ever seen a snake that big? In all my years, the biggest snake I've ever seen was only about the size of a bowl. It definitely couldn't lay eggs this big."

"This..." Pei Ganniang was speechless.

Father Liu then spoke: "Okay Zhuzhu, I know you are afraid, but you know what mother means. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, the important thing is not to tell anyone.

If this really belongs to the dragon, the two children are in danger. Even if it has nothing to do with them, the survivors will not let them go. They will think that it was Aunt Fifth who provoked the dragon..."

The voices of the three people gradually became lower, and Pei Xiaohai could hardly hear clearly. Just as he was about to move closer to the window, Pumpkin suddenly meowed.

"Who's outside? A child?"

Someone came over quickly.

When Liu Renben opened the window, he saw Pumpkin with a determined look in his eyes, ready to strike. He kicked his legs and climbed into the window using all four claws, heading straight for the mysterious big egg.

Old Madam Liu Lianhua quickly grabbed the cat by the scruff of its neck and lifted it up: "Why did this cat get here?"

"The child is not under supervision." Liu Renben opened the door and called out to the child twice. No one answered, so he called out again, "Shuanzi, Cuimei? Someone come."

Pei Xiaohai, who was glaring at Shuanzi, who was sweeping the floor, said: ...

She was so nervous that she only had time to hide in the corner, and Shuanzi was sweeping the floor there.

Is it possible that he was eavesdropping too?

Little Pei thought about it and ruled out this possibility, because when Shuanzi heard Godfather Liu calling him, he went out without panicking at all. He handed the kitten to her and continued sweeping the floor.

Little Pei ran away quickly.
