Chapter 146 h'y'b'y
In any case, this is the wish of the villagers. It would be too disappointing if she made a wish at this time and said something that did not work.
Baitao also thought that before she traveled through time, no matter which temple she went to to pray to Buddha, she would always recite it clearly word for word, three or five times.
The main idea is that not only do you need to know it, but Bodhisattvas also need to know it.
Just saying it in your mind, there are so many people worshiping Buddha every day, how can the Bodhisattva pay attention to it, but it is different when you read it out loud, the Bodhisattva will definitely notice such a special and confident believer.
Thinking about it this way, it is very sincere and necessary for the villagers to make such a loud wish.
Baitao patted the treasure box in front of her with a smile and said, "Here, this is my birthday gift to you from my aunt."
And gifts?
The birthday guests were two young wives and an older girl, a child and two men.
The gifts prepared by Baitao were five taels of silver per person and ten meters of cloth, and then she gave different things according to gender and age.
The children are given a gift bag of snacks, the younger daughter-in-law is given a large floral cloth, the older girl is given two headdresses, and the two grown men are given a pair of shoes each.
"Thank you, grandma~"
The six people were very excited. After thanking him, they took the things and knelt down in unison, kowtowing three times to Baitao reverently.
"May my aunt be as happy as the East China Sea and live as long as the sky..."
Baitao smiled brightly: "Okay, okay, we are all good children. Get up, get up."
The six of them got up and said obediently: "Thank you, Auntie..."
Other villagers also looked at it with smiles on their faces, and many of them prayed secretly in their hearts, hoping that my aunt would always be with us and not take other people with us.
I wasn't hungry even after dinner, so I cut the cakes and gave each person a piece. It was a joy for adults and children to eat.
“This durian millelay is so delicious.”
“The strawberry pudding cake is also delicious.”
“I think they are all delicious.”
"The things my aunt rewards are all top-notch!"
"..."
Seeing that the villagers were enjoying their meal, Baitao thought that there were few entertainment activities in ancient times, so she said: "Every month from now on, the village will celebrate the birthday of the person whose birthday is that month."
In a world like ancient times where clan inheritance was the main tone, cohesion was very important.
Regular large-scale collective activities like this are conducive to strengthening the cohesion of Taohua Village.
Now I listen to her tell stories at night, and it’s great to have a lively birthday party on the previous day.
Every month? !
The villagers were immediately overjoyed upon hearing this.
But soon, he hesitated.
"Auntie, isn't this too expensive?"
"Yes, aunt, you are good to us, we all know it, but..."
Baitao: "It's only once a month, not every day. It's great for everyone to have a lively time together."
After finishing speaking, seeing what the villagers wanted to say, she added: "If you are afraid of spending money, then you can just find more weird things for me."
Even if it's not his birthday, the villagers will subconsciously look for weird things for Baitao.
But Baitao said so, and the villagers knew her temper, so they stopped saying anything and thanked in unison: "Thank you, auntie."
Several villagers whose birthdays will be next month feel nervous. While they are excited, they can’t help but repeat in their hearts:
All I wish is that my aunt will always be by our side and ignore the coquettish bitches outside!
After almost eating, Baitao said before going to bed: "Go to bed early tonight, and we will cross the river tomorrow." She spent two hundred coins, and the mall said that she could cross the river tomorrow.
In five days, the ice on the river will melt, and it will melt faster than the ice.
In the evening, some villagers went to the river to observe, but after the river froze, no one knew how thick it was now.
As soon as Baitao said this, Bai Dashan responded and arranged for someone to go to the river to determine the thickness of the ice.
Although his aunt said that there would be no problem, he still had to be more cautious.
The people in Taohua Village were strong, so Bai Shanquan punched the shore twice with his fists. Seeing that the ice did not crack, he felt relieved and continued walking further in.
He led the two of them all the way to the center of the river. He used a chisel to make several ice holes along the way and measured the thickness of the ice. The ice in the center of the river was more than one meter thick, which was enough to cross the river.
"Village Chief, I took some people to measure it. The thinnest part of the ice layer is at least 1.2 meters. By tomorrow, it will be at least 10 centimeters thicker."
Bai Dashan: "That's okay, that's good."
He raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist. The moonlight hands were clearly visible at night.
"It's already past ten o'clock. You should rest and get up early tomorrow to clean up."
Bai Shanquan nodded: "Okay, then village chief, you should also rest early."
Not only Bai Dashan has watches, but all the people in the village have watches. The only difference is the children's model and the adult model.
These watches were awarded by the mall after completing the survival mission. Baitao cursed and turned around and handed them out to the villagers.
Then he spent an hour teaching the villagers how to tell time.
Now people in Taohua Village no longer need to look up at the sun to guess the time. They only need to raise their hands and glance at their watches.
At first, the villagers were not used to it, but after using it for two days, it became more and more fragrant.
My aunt is amazing. It is indeed more accurate to tell the time this way. After all, she can even tell the minute and second accurately.
Of course, the villagers were extremely cautious about checking the time and would not let anyone outside Peach Blossom Village catch them.
Naturally, only the villagers themselves knew about such a powerful object. If outsiders found out, it would be a small matter if the watch was robbed, but it would be a big deal if it caused trouble for my aunt.
Baitao knew that the villagers were always cautious, so he felt free to give them something.
Early the next morning.
At dawn, many people noticed that the Baijiabao caravan was different from the past.
Many tents have been disassembled and loaded onto pack trucks, and it looks like they are setting off today.
The Zhou family was not far away, so Zhou Yang quickly came over to inquire.
"Brother, I want to ask, are you setting off today?"
"Yes, our aunt said we will set off after breakfast." Everyone can see such a big movement, so there is nothing to hide.
"Hey, thank you, brother." Zhou Yang thanked him, turned around and hurriedly went back to ask his family to pack their belongings.
He didn't ask too many questions and just followed the caravan anyway.
If the caravan's carriages and pack trucks could cross the river, then those of them who didn't have much to carry with them wouldn't have to worry.
If the caravan is going to take a detour, then his family will follow.
Wherever the main Baijiapu caravan went, they followed.
Seeing the Baijiabao caravan tidying up, other people also hurriedly tidied up the caravan.
Yang Song carefully strolled around the river. When he came back, he whispered: "Sir, there are a few ice holes on the river today. They should have been left by Miss Bai's people to check the thickness of the ice."
