Sugar Jar [Rebirth]

Xi Xin lowered her head and glanced at the longevity lock hanging around her neck, with a double fish pattern carved in the middle and a bat-shaped auspicious pattern on the side.

He was stunned for a long time, first looked up at Shi Chen in confusion, then asked in a daze: "Is today my birthday?"

Shi Chen was almost amused by his ignorant look, he let go of his hand, pinched Xi Xin's nose, and asked with a smile: "Have you even forgotten your own birthday? Today is the ninth day of June."

"Hey, is it?" Xi Xin counted with her fingers, and at the same time silently counted the days in her heart, only then did she realize that today is really his birthday.

When celebrating his birthday at home before, his mother would prepare longevity noodles and a red egg for him, but now that he is here, no one reminds him, and Xi Xin never deliberately remembers her own birthday, so she didn't notice it. The ninth day of June has arrived.

The longevity lock was specially made by Shi Chen, and the patterns on it were all traced by him himself.

After returning from the private school, Shi Chen would go out for a while to learn how to make longevity locks at Zhenbao Pavilion. Zhenbao Pavilion is a shop under the name of Jingkehou's Mansion. Although they were shocked at the request of the Young Master's family at first, they were hindered. Yu Shichen's face showed that he didn't dare to raise any opinions, so he almost responded to every request.The longevity locks he made at the beginning were not good-looking. Shi Chen made many of them before he finally got one that he could get his hands on. As for the longevity locks that were picked out, they were put into the locker in Shi Chen's room. The small warehouse is locked.

Seeing his appearance, Shi Chen smiled helplessly: "You really forgot."

Xi Xin smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't remember the time."

He tilted his head to look at Shi Chen, speaking in a very straightforward tone.

Xi Xin looked up at him, and around his neck was a long-lived lock tied in series with a rope woven of colored silk, with a small silver lock obediently hanging in the middle.

Shi Chen's heart softened again, he smiled, and reached out to rub Xi Xin's head, but was avoided by the vigilant young man.

He said seriously: "I told you not to rub other people's heads casually!"

Xi Xin wrinkled her face and protested dissatisfied.

Shi Chen followed his words, "Then did I ever say that I'm not someone else?"

Xi Xin was slightly startled, and thought about his words seriously, then came back to his senses, shook his head, and refused: "No one can touch it."

"Why?" Shi Chen couldn't help being a little curious.

Xi Xin looked at him, then at herself, sighed deeply, and said, "Otherwise I won't grow taller."

When he was in the village, people of the same age grew faster than Xi Xin. After coming to Shi Mansion, Xi Xin found that the second son of his age was also taller than him, and his friend Liu Ruohan, whom he met a while ago, was also taller than Xi Xin. Some.

He thought aggrievedly, when will he grow tall and tall.

He is not greedy, as long as he is about the same height as them.

Xi Xin looked down at her small body, with an even more aggrieved expression.

Seeing this, Shi Chenqing coughed and said, "Actually, there is a way."

"What way?" Xi Xin looked at him expectantly, her eyes were bright.

"Drink more goat's milk."

Hearing this method, Xi Xin was a little disappointed, he said: "I've drank goat's milk before, it's not good."

Xi Xin has been small and weak since he was born. In order to raise him up, Xi's mother asked other people in the village for some homemade recipes. They all said that feeding the child with goat milk is good for the body, so when Xi Xin was young, Xi Xin Almost grew up soaked in goat's milk.

When the little friends are already running around, Xi Xin often can only sit at the door and watch them play, and then hold her own small cup and drink goat milk in small sips.

For farmers, goat milk is a luxury, but for the sake of their children's health, Xi Xin's parents would rather endure hardships than wrong their children.

After growing up, Xi Xin knew the difficulties of her parents, so she was unwilling to drink this thing again.

Hearing this thing now, Xi Xin's impression of it was even worse.

"Put some caramel down, it won't be so fishy." Shi Chen said, he seemed to really want to persuade Xi Xin to agree to drink this thing, Xi Xin looks really too thin, and he had specifically asked the medical center before The doctor said that drinking more goat milk can improve a little physical fitness.

Shi Chen thought to himself, no matter what, he had to coax Xi Xin into agreeing.

Xi Xin frowned, "I want to save the money to go home to my parents during the Chinese New Year." Although he has never been a housekeeper, he also knows that goat milk is actually a rare thing.

Shi Chen couldn't help chuckling: "Little money fan, I don't need your money, there is a rule in the mansion."

Hearing this sentence, Xi Xin shook her head firmly: "No, this is against the rules."

But Shi Chen said seriously: "But I'm tired of drinking, and the servants usually serve it up, but it's also a waste. Isn't it a waste?"

Xi Xin looked at him suspiciously, but she didn't quite believe it in her heart.

Shi Chen continued: "Think about it, before they brought goat milk, did I not take a bite?"

Xi Xin snorted softly, and said in a low voice, "How long have I only been in the mansion."

But think about it, after breakfast in the past, Shi Chen really didn't touch the goat milk in front of him, half of Xi Xin's doubts disappeared again.

"Then it's settled, the goat's milk will be troublesome for you in the future." Shi Chen didn't wait for Xi Xin's response, and asked and answered directly.

Xi Xin looked at him in shock, her dark eyes were foggy, as if she was saying that the Second Young Master was so domineering.

"You can grow taller by drinking goat's milk, maybe Xi Xin will be taller than me by then." Shi Chen continued to coax.

In fact, after growing up, Xi Xin's body is still thin and weak. Although she is much taller than now, she still looks small when standing next to other people.

The two were looking for a place to sit down and look at the starry sky.

But at this time, a middle-aged man came over with other people. When he saw Shi Chen and Xi Xin sitting on the ground not far away, he was taken aback for a moment, then said something to the people behind him, and the others respectfully He nodded, then stayed where he was and waited.

Shi Chen's servants saw him and were about to salute, but the man stopped him, his eyes beckoning them to be quiet.

The servants all shut up sensibly.

He walked a few meters away from them, and then heard his usually domineering young son talking to the person next to him in a very patient and gentle tone.

Jing Kehou listened with great interest. His wife told him earlier that Shi Chen's temper had been restrained a bit, but he still didn't believe it. Now it seems that it is true.

Under the moonlight, a black shadow not far away came into view.

Shi Chen intuitively looked back, and found his father standing behind him, his original sharp eyes narrowed, and he said: "Father, why are you so elusive, you are not serious when you come back."

Jing Kehou was amused by him, and laughed and scolded: "You brat, how dare you tease your father and me like that? Who cleaned up the mess last time for you?"

Shi Chen muttered in a low voice: "I don't even look at who came here to make trouble because of this mess."

He spoke in a low voice, but the voice was intentionally heard by Jing Kehou. Master Shi stepped forward and slapped the back of his head fiercely, "Dare you laugh at your father? Be careful, I will transfer you to the frontier to join the army. I can't come back for three to five years."

Shi Chen retorted: "If you dare to do this, I will complain to my mother!"

Jing Kehou said: "If you don't learn well at a young age, you will learn to sue, right?"

Xi Xin was frightened by the stranger who came over suddenly, then saw his similar facial features to Shi Chen, and then heard the second young master's intimacy with the person in front of him from the conversation, so he knew that this was the legendary Jing Kehou.

He had been away from the mansion before, and he must have only come back now.

Xi Xin looked at him, just in time to be caught by Jing Kehou.

Unexpectedly, she happened to be discovered just by taking a sneak peek, and Xi Xin lowered her head a little embarrassedly.

Seeing such a well-behaved and shy child for the first time, Jing Kehou also had a little curiosity in his eyes.

Like Mrs. Shi, he both wanted a child who could curl up in their arms and act like a spoiled child. Who knew that the two who were born were more worried than the other.

The older one is cold-tempered and doesn't like to communicate with others, while the younger one is extroverted, but gets into trouble every day.

Xi Xin didn't quite get used to his gaze, and tried to hide herself, almost hiding behind Shi Chen.

Shi Chen reminded dissatisfiedly: "Father! You scared him."

But Jing Kehou stuffed a dagger into Xi Xin's hand, "The little baby seems sensible, so I'll give this to you. If anyone dares to bully you next time, I'll use this to deal with him."

Xi Xin was taken aback by the sharp weapon in his hand, and was a little at a loss as he was holding the object. He looked down at the object in his hand, and then whispered: "Thank you, Lord Hou."

Seeing that although he was afraid of daggers, he still cherished the things given by the elders very much and responded politely. Master Shi appreciated it even more, and laughed loudly: "You have a temper with me, have you ever been engaged?"

Hearing this sentence, Shi Chen knew that his father's old problem had recurred, and quickly separated him from Xi Xin, saying, "He's still young!"

"What's the matter, when you were seven years old, you ran to the military camp and said you wanted to compete with them. Why didn't you say you were young then?"

Shi Chen was stunned for a moment, how long ago did this happen, how could he remember it so clearly, he only remembered that at that time he competed with the uncles in the barracks in archery, although he lost, he got a lot of rewards and cheated a lot A gift from the elders.

not to mention……

"Is a martial arts competition the same thing as an engagement?" He muttered in a low voice.

When Xi Xin is kidnapped, he will find someone to cry with.

The author has something to say:

Shi Chen: Dad, you are really my real dad
