Chapter 21 I Can’t Count
She can even forget this thing. It must be because she has become a baby, so her IQ has also become that of a child.

Perhaps because she was nervous, and seeing Bai Tao pouting, the girl thought Bai Tao was unwilling, and she couldn't help but retract her hand.

In fact, if she warmed herself by the fire, her shoes would dry quickly. She was just thinking wrong.

Thinking of this, the little girl didn't dare to say anything more.

"Well, well..." Then, grandma, please warm yourself by the fire.

"Okay." Bai Tao responded, and seeing the little girl standing there in a daze, she was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Is he going to regret it?

"Oh, okay, okay." The little girl quickly came to her senses. She squatted down suddenly and reached out to take off Bai Tao's shoes.

Because I was in a hurry, I almost fell down, but luckily I managed to steady myself by using my hands to support myself.

It's over. She is too stupid and can't even do such a small thing. The aunt will definitely dislike her. Thinking of this, the little girl's eyes suddenly turned red.

Bai Tao couldn't ask someone to take off her shoes for her, as she was not without hands or feet.

"I'll take it off myself. What's your name?"

The little girl is rather dark-skinned, with a thin face that makes her eyes look particularly big.

Of course, it wasn't just her. Everyone in Taohua Village, young and old, was thin. Or it should be said that there were very few white and plump farmers in ancient times, except Bai Tao who was carefully taken care of.

Bai Xiaocao was very nervous, so she spoke a little haltingly: "Reply, reply to my aunt. My name is Xiaocao, Bai Xiaocao, thank you, aunt."

Bai Tao chuckled, and her grandmother's voice became even sweeter and softer: "Why are you thanking me? It was you who changed my shoes."

"No." Bai Xiaocao shook her head and said seriously, "It's because my aunt doesn't dislike my cooking skills."

She doesn't know anything else and doesn't know how to repay her aunt.

There are so many people in the village who can weave straw sandals, and Bai Xiaocao was so happy that her aunt was willing to wear hers.

These two days were the best days she had ever had since she was born. What she ate, wore, and used were all so good.

If it weren't for her aunt, even if the Hu people didn't come to hunt, she and her brother would not have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear.

The villagers were discussing privately that the aunt must have been a gift from God to Taohua Village, and she thought so too.

After Bai Tao changed into straw sandals, Bai Xiaocao took her cloth shoes and went to warm the fire carefully.

Regardless of whether it was before or after the time travel, this was the first time that Bai Tao wore straw sandals. She moved her exposed toes. The straw sandals were light, but indeed not suitable for wearing in autumn and winter, especially on such a cold and freezing rainy day.

After opening the mall, Bai Tao quickly found the product she wanted.

Just take them!

The classic old-fashioned Jiefang shoes are green from the sole to the upper and laces except for the lining.

Most importantly, it is wear-resistant, non-slip and breathable.

Most importantly, they are cheap, only thirteen coins a pair.

When pots of dumplings were brought in, the fragrance immediately filled the cave.

When buying dumplings, Bai Tao didn't have time to pick the flavors carefully, so Bai Duoxi mixed several kinds of fillings together and cooked them. When everyone ate them, it was like opening a blind box, which was quite interesting.

Under the light of the kerosene lamps hanging on the cave wall and the stove in the cave, everyone was busy eating dumplings, occasionally drinking a sip of soup, and felt like they were alive.

The villagers looked at Bai Tao from time to time, full of gratitude and respect.

My aunt's ancestors saved their ancestors, and now my aunt has saved them all time and again. What I owe... Never mind, I can't count it anyway.

The villagers outside the cave were also eating dumplings. Compared with the women and children in the cave, they ate one at a time and enjoyed the delicious food.

"Well, good...times!"

"Yes, it's delicious~"

“I’ve never eaten dumplings that tasted so good.”

"Thanks to my aunt..."

Taohua Village is located at the junction of the north and the south. Rice is the staple food most of the time, but noodles are also eaten occasionally.

I have made dumplings before, but most of the fillings were vegetarian. If someone occasionally had some meat, they would not be willing to put more in.

It was the first time they had seen such white dough, not to mention such a variety of dumpling fillings.

Not to mention the pork filling with alternating fat and lean meat, shrimp filling is also rare, but what surprised everyone the most is that there are beef and mutton fillings.

When the people of Taohua Village found out that the dumplings had beef filling, they were stunned. Then they all told each other, "No one can tell anyone."

In ancient times, cattle were extremely important agricultural production tools. Draft cattle were registered, and there were cattle raised for food, but that had nothing to do with ordinary people.

Moreover, the procedures for slaughtering beef cattle are complicated, requiring certificates, paying taxes, etc. Over time, the impression that eating cattle is not allowed has been formed in the minds of ordinary people.

Bai Tao was unaware of the villagers' warnings to each other. She had almost finished eating, so she put down her bowl. Just as she was about to call Bai Dashan later, she saw Bai Xiaocao coming over holding her cloth shoes.

"Auntie, your shoes are dry." Bai Xiaocao had a sweet smile of satisfaction on her face.

So fast?
Bai Tao was surprised and asked, "Didn't you eat anything?"

Bai Xiaocao subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but she quickly stopped and replied: "I'm not that hungry, let's just..."

When Bai Tao heard this, she immediately frowned and ordered, "Go eat something."

What a joke! I'm already skinny, tired after a day's work, cold and hungry. If I don't eat to warm myself up first, what if I collapse?

Thinking that her truck might be missing, Bai Tao's expression turned unhappy: "Everyone is eating, but you are doing this."

Although Bai Tao Xueyu is cute, she also looks soft and cute when she is angry. But when she frowns and is unhappy, it is frightening.

Bai Tao is of a higher generation, so her status in the village is naturally different, so no matter how cute her angry expression is, it is still a very serious matter in the eyes of the villagers.

"I..." Bai Xiaocao's heart also tightened and he became flustered.

What should she do? She was afraid that her aunt would get cold wearing the straw sandals, so she hurried to dry the sandals first, but her aunt seemed very angry...

Seeing that she was still holding the shoes with a look of helplessness on her face, her eyes slightly red, as if she was about to burst into tears in the next second, Bai Tao had no choice but to say: "Put the shoes here, I will put them on in a while."

"Hey, hey, okay." Bai Xiaocao hurriedly put the cloth shoes next to Bai Tao's feet: "Yes, I'm sorry, auntie, I know I was wrong."

After saying that, she trotted back to her seat without waiting for Bai Tao to say anything and took her lunch box from a little boy.

At this time, Bai Dashan just came in and saw this scene. Seeing that Bai Tao seemed curious, he explained a few words to her.

Like Bai Tao, Bai Xiaocao's parents died early, but Bai Tao's status is different. She is an aunt, so she naturally receives the best care and nursing in the whole village.

But Bai Xiaocao is different, she has a younger brother who is less than four years old.
