Chapter 18 Heirloom (1) [Revised]

The porridge for breakfast, with its pink and glutinous sweet potatoes, just lubricates the roughness of the corn crumbs, and its slight sweetness neutralizes the bitterness of the wild vegetables. Shuyue, who has already been extremely demanding, actually feels better after eating such a meal. good.

After one meal, Shuyue was seventy-eight percent full, and successfully saved up a reserve of food, sweet potatoes*1.

Erya finished eating in a hurry and dragged her basket on her back outside.

She had the task of digging wild vegetables every day, and she made appointments with her little sisters. Shuyue was too young, and she had just arrived at the Bai family not long ago, so no one assigned her any tasks, so her time was completely sufficient. Free reign.

Shuyue found a kitchen knife in the kitchen and cut the sweet potatoes into slices. She took them back to the house and spread them in a place where the sun could shine, then she filled a pot of water and returned to the house.

After finishing all this, Shuyue yawned.

But she didn't go to bed directly. Instead, she curiously went to the window where Bai Lie climbed to take a look.

Shu Yue's house is in the east wing. Outside the fenced yard on the east wall of the Bai family's house are rows of bamboos. A thick layer of bamboo leaves has fallen in the bamboo forest, covering the ground, but no footprints can be seen.

From the angle of the window, you can see the north and south central roads of the village, and you can see the somewhat deserted large yard on the east side of the road...

Also saw…

Bai Lie.

Bai Lie just walked out of the shabby yard.

This kind of person can feel someone's eyes falling on him and staying there for a little longer, and his eyes will glance over. This look...

Bai Lie paused for a moment and smiled subconsciously.

Immediately, he looked around with alert eyes and made sure that no one was there. He crossed the road very quickly and got into the bamboo forest.

Across the window, Bai Lie and Shu Yue stared at each other inside and outside the room.

Finally, it was Bai Lie who spoke first, "What's the matter? You miss your father after not seeing each other for a while?"

Shu Yue: “…”

Shu Yue retracted her head and said, "I just want to take a look."

I really didn’t expect that I seemed to have discovered an incredible secret.

Bai Lie took out a red sandalwood-carved jewelry box from his arms.

“I originally wanted to come back to you at noon, but it’s the same now.”

Shuyue opened her eyes wide. Yesterday, she helped Bai Lie take off his coat to sleep. At that time, he didn't have this on him.

So where did you get this?

She remembered that Erya told her yesterday that there was dirt in the big yard, and anyone who came close would get the dirt. Why do you think that now...

It’s so tricky!

"Take it and see if you like it." He said with some emotion, "When your mother was pregnant with you, your father was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days. He secretly found an old craftsman to give you these injections. He didn't pay them until now." In your hands."

The box was opened, and there were many things inside the box, including two long-life locks, one gold and one silver, many exquisite gold and silver bracelets and anklets of various styles, several bracelets strung with red ropes, and peace of mind. Jade buckles and jade pendants.

Shuyue was stunned, Bai Lie touched her head: "Keep it well. Dad sees you hoarding food, so he knows you are very smart. You understand what dad means, right?"

Shu Yue said twice, "Understood...right?" This was to hide it and not tell others.

Bai Lie laughed and said, "Simpleness is advocated nowadays, and most people don't dare to wear gold and silver, but good things are always good things. You are the aunt in our family, and even if you can't wear it, dad has to give you all the things you should have." ”

As for Shu Yue’s young age, will she be coaxed away or lost if she carries these things? Bai Lie really didn't care. He lost her and bought someone else. His daughter deserves the best. If she had been born a few decades earlier, these things would just be a casual reward for the quality of her servants.

What makes him helpless is that the best he can give now is the best.
