Chapter 408 Envy (monthly ticket 3200 plus updates)
Bai Taozhi didn't speak immediately, but squatted down, peeled off a layer of wheat straw on the bamboo basket, revealing a few cucumbers inside, picked them out, and stuffed them into Su Mulan's hand.
“Aunt Su, these are for you.”
"What are you doing?" Su Mulan hurriedly stopped him.
“Aunt Su, take it, my parents didn’t count these cucumbers. I saved them for two or three days before I got this few,” said Baitaozhi.
Bai Hongfu is so patriarchal that Bai Taozhi and Bai Qingzao don't have enough to eat at home, so that Bai Taozhi is already an adult. Looking at it now, he is only a little taller than Bai Shuiliu, and he is also thinner. sharp.
We don't have enough food on weekdays to prevent the two sisters from eating secretly. They know the vegetables from the fields, especially the cucumbers and tomatoes that can be eaten directly.
Having to pick so many cucumbers at once, it would be easy to be discovered. I guess the white peach branches were saved one or two a day to prevent being discovered.
Looking at Bai Taozhi like this, Su Mulan suddenly felt a little sad.
"Good boy, take it back and share it with the green dates." Su Mulan stuffed the cucumber into the white peach basket.
“Aunt Su, farewell.”
Bai Taozhi hurriedly reached out to protect the bamboo basket, "Sister-in-law Su, don't laugh at me. I have nothing to offer, only these few cucumbers. Don't dislike it, Sister-in-law Su."
Su Mulan paused and looked at Bai Peach Branch, "Then tell me, why did you give me the cucumber?"
"I..." Bai Taozhi bit her lip and lowered her head. After a long time, she replied, "Aunt Su is a nice person, especially Shuiliu and the others. I think Aunt Su is a knowledgeable and kind-hearted person. , I have a lot of respect in my heart, but I don’t know how to show it, so... I just give you a few cucumbers, which can be regarded as my respect for Aunt Su. "
"I will get married in a month. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see Aunt Su again after I get married, so I thought of selling eggs and bringing cucumbers to Aunt Su."
“I really just respect Aunt Su, I really have no other meaning...”
Bai Taozhi explained hurriedly, his face turning a little red. She really likes Su Mulan.
He treated four children so well, even better than his own children. Not only was he willing to eat, drink and wear clothes, but he was also willing to send them to a family school to study. If they hadn't been in the village since they were young and knew that Su Mulan was the stepmother, they would have become the stepmother. She is a biological mother.
Every time I see the white peach branch, I feel envious.
Sometimes she would like to think that it would be great if Su Mulan was her mother.
It's a pity that Bai Taozhi also knows that she is envious, and she doesn't have such a good life to meet a mother like Su Mulan.
So she could only hide this respect and love in her heart and respect her secretly.
But now that she was about to get married, it was a good time to settle her thoughts.
Su Mulan was silent for a while after hearing what Bai Taozhi said.
She can probably understand what Bai Taozhi means, and she can roughly understand why Bai Taozhi behaves this way.
Rather than saying this is a sign of respect, it is better to say that it is Bai Taozhi’s yearning and expectation for light in this dark environment.
She is probably something similar to faith in Bai Taozhi's heart.
“Since you said that, I’ll accept it.”
Su Mulan smiled and said, "It's just that since you respect me, I am also your elder, so there is no reason why I should accept things from my juniors in vain."
