"No wonder the children want to take it. My old lady likes these pearls very much."
Grandma Xiao's eyes exclaimed, "So beautiful."
Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand in front of grandma.
Up close, the pearls are flawless and radiant.
Xiao's grandma clicked her tongue.
After a while, he looked up at Xiao Xiao and asked, "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing so close?"
"My eyesight is fine."
"Besides, I also have this pearl."
Grandma Xiao pulled the red thread around her neck, "Isn't this the pearl in the amulet you gave to grandma before?"
"Keep these pearls yourself."
"Grandma, you can take more if you like."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched, "I have a lot more there."
"It's a lot and keep it well."
Grandma Xiao glared at Xiao Xiao slightly, "Grandma, it's useless to take more."
…
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly and put the pearl away.
"what happened?"
Father Xiao asked for details, "Why did the child take away the pearl?"
The kid Xiaoxiao said that these pearls belong to the fish in the pond, which means... "These pearls are at the bottom of the pond, right?"
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded, confirming Father Xiao's guess.
Then he briefly described the whole story.
"Oh, what a coincidence."
Grandma Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "That child is destined to have this pearl."
"This way he can touch it."
"No."
Xiao's mother also raised her eyebrows.
"As long as the child didn't do it on purpose."
Grandpa Xiao ended the topic, "Okay, it's time to work."
"Don't keep your guests waiting."
…
Xiao Xiao returned to the yard.
Walking to the foot of the white plum tree, the plum girl stood by the pool, folding her skirt and saluting, "Master Xiao Xiao."
"Plum Girl."
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up.
He turned his head as if he was aware of it, and the pearl fish emerged from the water.
Not far away, the red turtle also poked out its head.
…
"Pearl fish."
Xiao Xiao knelt down, looked at the hesitant look on the fish, smiled and stretched out his hand.
Three round, snow-white pearls sparkled on the open palm, creating an increasingly hazy but brilliant halo under the warm spring sun.
Mei Nu pursed her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Then, its figure slowly disappeared among the plum trees.
…
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp~"
Mr. Xiao Xiao is so awesome~
Lin flew up and down next to Xiao Xiao, very happy.
The baby spoon circled around Xiao Xiao's hand.
The eyes that looked at the pearl were sparkling and radiant.
…
"Master Xiao Xiao, thank you."
The beaded frog fish suppressed the surprised expression on its face and narrowed its four eyes into slits.
"You're welcome."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly, "As a landlord, you naturally have to ensure the safety of your tenants' property."
Um?
The beaded fish tilted its head, with a dull expression on its face.
It doesn't quite understand the meaning of Master Xiao Xiao's last sentence.
Looking at the cute bead fish, the smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes deepened a bit.
He took back his outstretched hand and put the pearl into the water.
Just when he was about to put the second one-
"Master Xiao Xiao, please wait a moment."
The bead fish stopped him.
Xiao Xiao closed his fingers slightly and held two pearls in his hands.
He looked at the Pearl Fish inquiringly.
But he found that the pearl fish was swimming in front of him with the first pearl he just put in on its head.
"Master Xiao Xiao, these pearls were originally given to you."
Xiao Xiao was confused, and the Pearl Fish was also a little confused, "Master Xiao Xiao, don't you want pearls?"
"need."
Xiao Xiao looked at the pearl in his hand, and the smile in his eyes rippled.
"They are beautiful."
However, the temporary explanation he made for the elderly and children gave him inspiration, "Just put the pearls at the bottom of the pool."
"You can give it to me when I need it."
"OK."
Mr. Xiao Xiao has no objection to how he wants to make the pearl fish.
…
Seeing the pearl sink into the water, Xiao Xiao slowly got up.
"Next time a stranger comes into the yard, you can find a way to notify my family."
"Make some noise or something."
Xiao Xiao thoughtfully said, "This way similar situations will never happen."
