What do you mean by reference? Isn’t that just copying?

Gu Xueting really regretted making such a bad friend, but under his threat, he had to agree temporarily.

"Second, you have to help me speak well of you in front of my third sister."

As soon as these words were spoken, the young men burst into laughter.

Pei Fei was so angry at the laughter that he said, "What are you laughing at! Shut up!"

Gu Xueting pressed his aching head and said, "...Okay."

Anyway, the third sister can't be bought with a few nice words. It's strange that she would be interested in a poor student like you! "What about the third one?"

Pei Fei thought about it and it seemed that he had no other ideas. "I haven't thought of a third one yet. I'll keep it for now and tell you when I think of one."

Gu Xueting covered his chest and once again lamented that he had made the wrong friends.

"Can you give it to me now?"

"Well, take it."

Pei Fei was about to withdraw his hand when suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and he lost his grip on the jade pendant and it fell to the ground.

Gu Xueting: “…”

The young men: “…”

"Pei Shiyi! If the jade pendant breaks, I'll chop you into pieces!"

Gu Xueting left a harsh remark and ran downstairs.

Pei Fei's face suddenly fell.

He was just joking with him, who knew something unexpected would happen. That gust of wind came at a really bad time! Thinking of this, he hurriedly followed.

Shen Yizhi, who was waiting below, was unable to catch the jade pendant in time because his arms were too short, and could only watch it fall into the ditch.

However, she had the system map, so it would be easy to get it out, right? But before she could put it into practice, she saw a young man in red walking quickly towards her.

"Did you see a jade pendant fall down?" Gu Jiu asked.

Shen Yizhi nodded: "I saw it, it fell into the ditch."

Pei Fei, who rushed over, immediately received Gu Jiu's death stare.

Shen Xing, who was not far away, saw a group of people surrounding his sister, so he hurried over, held the person, and stared at them vigilantly.

When Pei Fei saw him, he suddenly had an idea. He took out a silver note and shook it in front of him. "I accidentally dropped the jade pendant into this stinky ditch. If you can help me fish it out, these ten taels of silver will be yours."

Shen Xing's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Of course. When have I, Pei Fei, ever told a lie?"

Gu Xueting watched from the side and rolled his eyes, but did not stop it.

"Okay!" Shen Xing was about to roll up his sleeves and go down to the ditch to fish out the jade pendant, but Shen Yizhi hurriedly pulled him back, "Xiao Xingxing, wait!"

She ran to an old lady who was still selling tea eggs on the roadside and said, "Grandma, can you lend me your tongs? I'll return them right away."

"Okay, take it." The old woman was very kind and handed her the pliers.

"Thank you, grandma!"

Shen Yizhi came back with a pair of pliers, and a group of people looked at her.

She waved her hand, "Make way, don't block my view."

Gu Xueting couldn't help but laugh at her because she was so small but acted like an adult.

Take the initiative to move aside. Others will naturally follow suit.

Shen Yizhi put the pliers into the ditch, pretended to search for a while, and then picked up the jade pendant.

In fact, she has always known the location of the jade pendant, but the ditch is turbid and the light is dim at the moment. If she grabs it all at once, wouldn't it look too suspicious?

"Here, your jade pendant. Give me the money." Shen Yizhi put the jade pendant on the ground and stretched out his hand to Pei Fei.

"You are quite interesting, little girl." Pei Fei handed the banknote to her, but suddenly took his hand back when she took it.

Shen Yizhi glared at him and complained to Gu Xueting: "Your friend is cheating!"

Gu Xueting was so ashamed to be with Pei Fei that he pushed him aside, snatched the banknote and handed it to Shen Yizhi. Then, he took out a handkerchief, wrapped the jade pendant with a look of disgust, and turned back home.

"Pei Shiyi, those three conditions are no longer valid."

Pei Fei chased after him, "Hey, Gu Jiu, don't be like this, you can't go back on your word..."

"You broke my jade pendant and you still want me to keep my word? Dream on!"

A group of pampered young men gradually walked away.

Shen Yizhi looked at the banknote in his hand and asked, "Xiao Xingxing, is this true?"

How could Shen Xing know? He had never touched a banknote in his life.

"Let's go home and show it to mom."

"Wait." Shen Yizhi pulled Shen Xing towards the old lady selling tea eggs.

"Grandma, I want three tea eggs."

"All right, little girl."

Shen Xing said: "Two are enough. I don't like tea eggs."

Shen Yizi believed it and bought only two, eating one himself and taking one back to Shen.

She peeled the egg as she walked, took a bite, wow, it was so delicious!

Shen Xing was drooling as he watched.

The voice was so loud that Shen Yizhi could hear it. He couldn't help but look at him, "Don't you dislike tea eggs?"

"I don't like it. I'm just hungry."

Shen Yizhi became suspicious this time. When he ate the egg yolk, he handed it over and said, "I don't like egg yolks. Please help me eat it."

Shen Xing didn't hesitate at all. He bit the egg yolk into his mouth and swallowed it in two or three gulps.

Seeing this, Shen Yizhi had nothing to understand. This guy must have wanted to save money so he deliberately said he didn't like tea eggs.

She looked at the egg in her hand that was stained with his saliva and simply handed it to him, "I don't want to eat it anymore, you can help me eat it."

"good."

Shen Xing swallowed it again.

After walking for a while, I passed by a stall selling sugar-roasted chestnuts. The stall owner was packing up and preparing to go home.

Shen Yizhi saw that there were still some chestnuts left on the stall and ran over, "Old man, how much are these sugar-roasted chestnuts?"

"Eight cents a pound. If you want, I can sell you the rest at a lower price."

"OK."

The stall owner weighed it and said, "It's almost a pound. Just take it for five cents."

Shen Yizhi held the chestnuts handed over by the stall owner and motioned for Shen Xing to pay.

Shen Xing was a little reluctant to spend the money. Five cents could buy three pounds of brown rice, and a lot of meat. It was not cost-effective to use it to buy such a few chestnuts. However, seeing his sister's greedy look, he gritted his teeth, counted out five copper coins and handed them over.

Shen Yizi peeled a chestnut and fed it to him.

Shen Xing put it in his mouth and took a bite, his mouth was full of glutinous fragrance.

Really delicious.

The brother and sister walked and ate as they went. When they returned home, it was already the second watch and it was pitch dark all around.

"Ahem, ahem, why did you come back so late?" In fact, Shen was not asleep yet, as she was still worried about the brother and sister.

She stood up, put on her clothes, brought over a bowl of porridge that was warm on the stove, and placed it on the table with a chipped corner and mottled paint. "Are you hungry? Share this bowl of porridge among you."

Shen Xing picked up the bowl and fed it to Shen Yizhi first. When she stopped eating, he tilted his neck back and poured the porridge directly into his mouth. Finally, he scooped a spoonful of water into the bowl and drank it all in one go. This time, there was not a grain of rice left in the bowl.
