Chapter 24 Hesitation lasts only a second
"Here, here, here." Bai Shitou raised the white pumice stone in his hand and timidly handed it to Baitao.
"For me?" Baitao pointed at herself and asked.
There are no toys at this time. Bai Shitou picked up a stone and played with it for so long. He must have liked it, so he just gave it to himself?
Bai Shitou nodded, looking at Bai Tao timidly with wet eyes. It took him a long time to finish his sentence: "Well, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here."
The reason why he stumbled while speaking was not only due to nervousness, but also because his parents died early and his growth was slightly delayed due to lack of nutrition and lack of food in the past two years.
Hearing this, Baitao hesitated a little, thinking it was not okay. She was older than him and had a higher seniority. It seemed not good to take things belonging to children.
But the hesitation lasted only a second. When the mall failed to finish the beep again, she took it over unceremoniously and praised with a smile: "You are a good child."
This tone is inexplicably like parents coaxing away their children’s red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.
Two hundred thousand a catty, this piece weighs two to three taels, so it can be sold for a lot of money.
She decided to give Bai Shitou credit.
Bai Shitou saw Baitao's smiling eyes and liked the stone very much at first sight, and he also grinned happily.
My sister said that my aunt is a very powerful and blessed person. You must respect your aunt and protect her.
So, when Baitao was looking around with Bai Pumice, Bai Shitou turned around and gave up the position behind him. He saw a small pit where he was squatting before, with many stones scattered in it.
At this time, the mall's prompts sounded again and again.
‘Beep, the second-level white floating ore was scanned, the grade is medium, and the price is 200,000 mall coins per kilogram. ’
‘Beep, we scanned the third-grade white floating ore, which is of lower grade and sells for 80,000 kilograms. ’
‘Beep, the first-grade white floating ore was scanned. It is of high grade and sells for 600,000 yuan each. ’
‘…’
Baitao was immediately dumbfounded. No wonder the mall had been beeping just now. The feelings were not stuck, nor were they trying to give her directions, but more than one piece was scanned.
Bai Shitou picked out the stones from the small pit, pushed them in the direction of Baitao, and said, "Here, give them all, give them to my aunt."
At this moment, Baitao was so happy that she wanted to throw her head back and laugh a few times. At a glance, she found that there were about twenty stones in the pile, which could be sold for more than one million at least.
How could she not love such a sensible junior? She must give Bai Shitou a great credit.
Baitao happily reached out and rubbed Bai Shitou's little head, and boasted in a sweet voice: "You are awesome!"
The first time his head was rubbed by someone other than his sister, and it was his aunt who everyone respected and loved, Bai Shitou was confused.
He reached out and touched his head, and confusion and confusion flashed across his face. Did his aunt touch him just now?
My sister said that only people who like him would touch his head, so doesn’t my aunt dislike his stuttering?
Bai Shitou was still young and didn't know how to describe the joy and excitement in his heart. His little face flushed with excitement, his little hands tightened his trouser legs, and he was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
"Where did you pick up these stones?" She remembered that she had passed by here several times before, and the mall didn't give any warning at all.
Bai Shitou came back to his senses. He pointed to the innermost part of the cave and slowly said word by word: "Go in, look, if you see something, take it and take it out."
The white floating ore is slightly hot, which is not obvious in the summer, but now that the weather is cold, it is naturally different from other stones.
Looking in the direction Bai Shitou pointed, Baitao was surprised, hey, when did there be such a small hole here.
Bai Tao didn't need to speak, Bai Shitou stumbled and explained: "Yesterday, Boom fell down and the hole came out."
After hearing this, Baitao came to the small cave and took a closer look. It was true that the huge sound and shaking in the middle of the night last night cracked the innermost wall of the cave. The hole created by the earthquake was not big, just big enough for a three- or four-year-old child to bend down and go in.
Because Bai Shitou stumbled when talking, other children in the village, although they meant no harm, would occasionally laugh at him. Over time, he got used to playing alone.
He woke up very early today. It was raining heavily outside, and his sister had warned him not to run out of the cave, so he wanted to find a place deep in the cave to relieve himself.
When I saw the small hole, I hesitated for a moment and got in. After I finished urinating, I picked up some stones and played with them.
When Baitao heard this, he immediately asked: "Are there any stones like this in there?"
Bai Shitou thought for a while, nodded and shook his head.
He nodded and shook his head, whether it was true or not, Baitao was about to ask anxiously, but at this time, a voice from the side intervened.
"Auntie, the meaning of stone is that there are still stones like this, but not much, and it is difficult to get rid of."
Bai Xiaocao fell behind and Bai Shitou nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
As long as she knew it was still there, it would be fine. As for whether it was easy to do or not, she would wait until she saw it.
"Okay, you two go and call two people to move things."
When Bai Xiaocao heard this, he obediently agreed. Seeing that Baitao had no other instructions, he took his brother's hand and called for someone to go.
Baitao also took this opportunity to collect the white pumice stones.
Soon, Bai Dashan came over with three people.
"Auntie."
They called out first, and then Bai Dashan was surprised: "Ah, when did there be such a cave here?"
"Auntie, please stay away from this cave. If there is any snake or insect, it will be bad for you."
Bai Dashan was a little angry. Although the cave was full of old, weak, women and children, there were still women in their prime. Why didn't they know more about the situation in the cave?
When a hole like this collapsed last night, no one said anything about what to do if something came out and hurt my aunt.
Just when Bai Dashan was preparing to gather the villagers for a lecture, Baitao spoke.
"Xiaocao and her brother just gave me a few stones, which he took out from this small hole. He said there are still some in them."
Bai Dashan was startled for a moment and then said immediately: "Auntie, do you want the stones behind the small hole?"
"This is easy to handle, grandma, just rest aside and I will find a few people to dig the hole bigger."
My aunt finally took the initiative to ask for something, so she must be satisfied.
Just as he was told, Bai Dashan turned around and called for help, while the other three moved the fried pancakes and sour bamboo shoots out.
Baitao did not forget to tell her, "Tell Daxi that I want to have haggis soup with fried pancakes for breakfast. Let him cook half of the haggis into soup and the remaining half to stir-fry sour bamboo shoots for lunch."
"Hey, aunt, let's talk to Brother Duoxi right now."
When Bai Duoxi saw the haggis, she was thinking about what to make. When she heard that Baitao wanted to drink haggis soup, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and vowed: "Don't worry, I promise it will be delicious."
There are so many good things, we can't let them go to waste.
