Chapter 210: Persuade Yourself
When the official in Dongzhou who was in charge of this matter heard that Bai Tao and his party would be settled in Junji Town, he did not give them a specific location. He only told them to decide where they wanted to live.
After all, in a place like Dongzhou, especially Junji Town, it is not the government that has the final say on whether the land has an owner or not, but whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.
After Bai Tao finished speaking, the villagers were stunned for a moment and all looked at Bai Dashan. To be exact, they looked at the sign with a red cloth covering Bai Dashan's shoulder.
Bai Dashan also subconsciously turned his head to look at the sign on his shoulder, his heart beating fast. Could it be?
In an instant, he felt the badge on his shoulder became much heavier.
After a pause, Bai Dashan took a deep breath, and slowly and carefully carried the sign to the place where Bai Tao had scratched it.
"Auntie, is this the place?" Even though there were traces of scratches left by Bai Tao on the ground, he still couldn't help but ask.
It would be a lie if he said he wasn't nervous about such an important matter.
Originally, it was a housewarming event for the entire village, so firecrackers should be set off, banquets should be set up, and dragon and lion dances should be performed for three days and three nights.
But after Bai Tao said this, the villagers had no objection, and they even persuaded themselves.
We have to make do with expediency. We just arrived here and lack everything. We don't have a house or a piece of land. There is no need to make a fuss.
Wait until later, when there is a chance, I will find time to make up for it.
"Yes, that's it." Bai Tao nodded: "Let's go in!"
After hearing Bai Tao's words, Bai Dashan responded, took a deep breath again, and raised the sign high.
With a strong "Hey" sound, the sign was suddenly inserted half a meter.
As the sign was inserted into the ground, a barely visible white light flashed, the ground shook slightly, and soon calmed down again.
At the same time, the beeping sound of the mall sounded in Bai Tao's mind.
'Beep, the task of finding a place to settle down has been completed. The reward is 20 tons of grain, 20 mu of grain seeds, vegetable seeds, and fruit seedlings.'
'Beep, 286 villagers have been resettled, completing the population increase task, and two buses are awarded.'
'Beep, I have completed the task of teaching the villagers to learn calligraphy, and I will be rewarded with 5,000 books.'
'Beep, I have completed the task of teaching the villagers martial arts, and I will be rewarded with an excavator.'
'Beep, rescued 321 passers-by, mission completed, rewarded with 1,000 rolls of old coarse cloth.'
"Beep, if you have accumulated more than 100 poultry, you will be rewarded with 10 mules and 10 donkeys each."
'Beep, complete the 2,000-hour survival mission, and you'll be rewarded with 2,000 sheep and 2,000 cows.'
'...'
Bai Tao was stunned for a moment and asked what was going on.
Mall: 'The system mall has been upgraded and the previous loopholes have been fixed. The hidden tasks will be announced after they are completed.'
So, in addition to the daily main tasks, there are actually some hidden tasks, but the mall is too rubbish, so they are not displayed?
Mall: '...' You can actually curse quietly, and there's no way I can know.
Suddenly there are so many task rewards. Although some of them are not worth much, they are free.
The treasure chests of task rewards were opened one by one, and Bai Tao nodded. When she opened the warehouse, she saw it was full. How could she describe her happiness?
Bai Tao came back to her senses happily, and felt the silence at the scene. She couldn't help but look at the villagers in surprise.
Although I knew I would end up here, it felt different when I actually saw the sign driven into the ground and standing there.
The villagers looked at each other, their throats felt dry and their noses felt sore, and they were unable to speak for a long time.
That indescribable feeling made the villagers feel sad. They were very happy, but also wanted to cry.
"What's wrong?" Bai Tao asked, "Don't you like it here?"
The villagers came to their senses after hearing the voice and shook their heads in unison: "No."
"Aunt, it's great here." "Aunt, we like it here."
"Yes, Auntie, wherever you go is Taohua Village, and that is our root."
The soil here is dark and looks very fertile, making it easy to grow crops.
Junji Mountain is very big and high. My aunt just said that it all belongs to Taohua Village.
The most important thing is that my aunt chose this place specifically. She must have her reasons, so they just listened.
As the village chief, Bai Dashan can naturally express some opinions on behalf of the villagers.
His eyes were red, but he grinned happily and said, "Auntie, everyone is just excited. No one doesn't like it here."
Isn't it excitement? We have been fleeing all the way. Although we are not nervous following my aunt, we still feel like something is missing in our hearts.
Now, they understand that what is missing is an indescribable sense of security and not having settled down.
Now that the sign has been erected, it means that they will settle down here in the future. Not only them, but also their descendants will be born and raised here. The feeling is naturally different.
Sixth Aunt laughed and said, "Aunt, we just feel that we have settled down and are no longer like floating duckweed."
The villagers spoke at once, everyone was excited and happy, and they couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.
Seeing this, Bai Tao finally felt relieved.
After all, she spent a lot of money to choose this place, and the mall also cost her 100,000 coins to place a protective shield for the resettlement site.
If she doesn't like it, it will probably cost a lot of money to take back the protective shield. By then, the mall will definitely rip her off...
"As long as you like it." Bai Tao pointed to the sign still covered with red cloth and asked with a smile: "Do you know what is written on the sign?"
The villagers looked at each other and shook their heads: "I don't know."
In fact, they could probably guess what the word was, but at this time they were willing to cooperate in playing with their five-year-old aunt.
As a little baby, I like to play the guessing game.
Bai Tao had no idea what the villagers were thinking, and she had no intention of keeping them in suspense. She took a few steps with her short legs, her little face full of joy. Then she stretched out her little hand and pulled off the red cloth covering the sign.
"Ding ding ding~~Look."
The sign has a gold-lacquered border and peach blossom patterns carved on the bottom, which is exquisite and beautiful.
"Come on, someone read it to me and tell me what these three words are."
"us…"
The adults in the village just opened their mouths and smiled as they were about to say something, but a child couldn't wait to shout, "Yes, Taohua Village."
"Grandma, these three words are pronounced Taohua Village."
The characters are Chinese, and the strokes are very beautiful.
Outsiders may not understand it, but everyone in Taohua Village, young and old, can write these three words with their eyes closed.
The three characters they learn at the beginning are just like when people first learn to write, they learn to write their own names, and of course they will never make mistakes.
Bai Tao glanced at the villagers who were stunned after their words were interrupted, and praised the little kids with a smile: "Hey, you guys are awesome! I'll give each of you a Bismarck lollipop as a reward."
"Wow~"
"Thank you, aunt."
"My aunt is the best."
Thank you for the continued rewards from the cute Sha. Love you~~~
