Chapter 40 The half jade pendant

 "Good-looking big brother."

The little girl obviously recognized Li Miao, and she immediately showed an innocent smile.

Li Miao couldn't help but squat down, patted her little head, and said with a smile: "Are you still not home at this late hour?"

The little girl said crisply: "I'm getting ready to go home."

Li Miao asked again: "Brother, if you want to buy some noodles now, is that okay?"

So, the little girl turned her head and looked at her mother.

The woman said: "Master, there are still some noodles left. I wonder what kind of noodles you want to eat?"

Li Miao did not rush to answer, but glanced at the steamed bun-faced maid beside him and asked: "Are you still eating?"

"Eat!"

The bun-faced maid nodded without hesitation: "Although I'm not hungry yet, I should be able to eat later."

Li Miao: "..."

Getting along with Li Miao during this period of time made the bun-faced maid understand a truth. As long as Li Miao likes to eat, then... the taste of this food must be good.

So, Li Miao turned around and said to the woman: "Boss, bring me four bowls of three-fresh noodles."

The bun-faced maid twirled her fingers and questioned: "Master Li, this is wrong. One bowl for the lady, one for you, and one for me. It should be three bowls."

These days, unlike later generations, a bowl of noodles is quite generous. For normal people, one bowl is basically enough.

Li Miao glanced at her and said, "Can't I just eat two bowls?"

The bun-faced maid suddenly understood and said: "I see, Mr. Li, you don't usually notice it, but you have quite a big appetite."

Li Miao: "..."

Are you sure you are qualified to say this?

Seeing that the woman was about to start cooking noodles, Li Miao reminded: "Boss, my four bowls of noodles have to be packed."

"Ah? Packing?"

The woman couldn't help but stop and looked at Li Miao in embarrassment: "Master, how are you going to pack this?"

Li Miao was startled and then realized that this was not a modern place. In the era without plastic bags, it was not so easy to pack, especially things like noodles and soup. Generally, they could only be packaged in baskets and the like.

Put the bowl in.

So, Li Miao asked: "Is there any basket or something?"

"This..."

The woman hesitated to speak, still looking embarrassed.

She does have baskets here, but they are all useful, and the price of each basket...

Li Miao more or less guessed what the woman was thinking and said, "How about this? I'll pay a little more and treat it as buying the basket and bowl. How about that?"

After thinking for a while, the woman nodded in agreement, and then continued the action just now.

Cooking noodles...

"Huh?"

At this time, the little girl suddenly let out a cry of surprise: "Good-looking brother, there is half a piece of jade pendant here. Did you accidentally drop it just now?"

With that said, the little girl picked up the half piece of jade pendant from the ground, came to Li Miao hummingly, and held it up for Li Miao to see.

Li Miao subconsciously touched his neck and found that half of the jade pendant that had been hanging around his neck was missing.

"Thank you, little sister."

Li Miao touched her little head, and then took the half piece of jade pendant from her hand.

It turned out that the thread on the jade pendant was broken, perhaps due to long use, so it fell off the neck. This was somewhat accidental.

At the same time, this also made Li Miao feel very happy.

Obviously, this half jade pendant is more important to Li Sanshui, otherwise it would not be hung around his neck all the time. It would not be good if it was lost like this.

Bang!

A "pop" sound came, surprising the three of them.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw... a broken bowl at the woman's feet. I guess it was when the woman was about to take the cooked noodles out of the pot and put them into the bowl.

, accidentally broke the bowl.

"Mom, are you okay?"

The little girl quickly ran to her mother's side, raising her little head and looking at her mother with concern.

The woman ignored the little girl. Her eyes were fixed on Li Miao. To be precise, it was the half of the jade pendant in Li Miao's hand.

"Do you know this jade pendant in my hand?" Li Miao asked the woman with some surprise.

No way?

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

It’s not really that bloody, is it?

Judging from the woman's expression, could it be that he is her long-lost son? No, this woman looks to be in her early thirties. There is no way she could have a son as old as him. Could it be that he is a relative?

While Li Miao was thinking wildly, the woman had already arrived in front of Li Miao, and asked in a suppressed and trembling voice: "Master, where did you get this half of the jade pendant in your hand?"

Li Miao said softly: "This is mine and I always wear it."

The woman asked again: "Then... can you give me a look?"

Li Miao silently gave her half of the jade pendant.

After carefully looking at the half jade pendant in her hand for a while, the woman calmed down her emotions and gave the half jade pendant back to Li Miao. She apologized and said in a calm tone: "This young master is me.

I admitted my mistake. Although this half of the jade pendant looks very similar, it is not the half of the jade pendant I know. Sorry, I will continue cooking noodles."

After saying that, without giving Li Miao a chance to speak, he returned to the stall, touched the little girl's little head for comfort, picked up the noodles that were almost cooked in the pot and threw them on the other side.

I made a new batch of noodles.

Li Miao looked at the woman deeply.

There is no doubt that based on the woman's performance, Li Miao is 100% sure that the woman knows the half of the jade pendant in her hand and is not admitting her mistake as she said.

It's just...I don't know why, but she denied it.

Otherwise, stab yourself in front of her and trigger that damn golden finger. In this way, you will probably know what she is thinking.

Of course, this idea just flashed through my mind.

He doesn't have a hobby of self-mutilation. It's impossible for him to give himself a knife or any other way of self-mutilation whenever something happens. He doesn't want to use that damn golden finger unless he has to.

Because it really hurts...

After paying the money and saying hello to the woman and the little girl, Li Miao and the bun-faced maid each carried a basket and left.

After walking a few steps, Li Miao suddenly stopped, turned around and said to the woman: "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Li Sanshui."

......

Even though Li Miao's back completely disappeared from her eyes, the woman still didn't look back.

"Mother."

The little girl tugged at the hem of her mother's clothes, raised her little face, and looked at her mother with some worry.

The woman finally came to her senses. Seeing the worry in the little girl's eyes, she knelt down, hugged the little girl gently, and whispered: "Don't worry, mother is just happy."

Yes, she is indeed happy at this time, really happy.

That half piece of jade pendant that not many people know about, plus his age, should be that child.
