Chapter 242: Xiao Si discovers that Su Taotao is different
"No, no, we just want pastries and nothing else."
Seeing that Su Taotao still didn't think it was enough, everyone quickly waved their hands and said that the pastries would be enough.
They all felt a little guilty for asking Taotao for cakes, so why did they have the nerve to ask for more?
"All right."
Seeing that everyone only had such a small request, Su Taotao did not continue to ask.
"Okay, it's getting late. Taotao is going home. Tomorrow Taotao will bring you cakes to eat. Goodbye, brothers."
Su Taotao saw that the sun was already hanging in the sky, and was about to set down the mountain. Su Taotao waved her hands, said goodbye to them, and ran back directly.
"Goodbye Taotao."
Everyone waved to Su Taotao and said goodbye with a smile.
Su Taotao jumped back and was caught by He Zhixin as soon as she entered the door.
"Where have you been running? I'm all sweaty and dirty."
He Zhixin said disgusting words, but she held a handkerchief in her hand and gently wiped Su Taotao's sweat.
"Didn't you just go home?"
"Why don't you run out again after a while? It's so nice outside?"
He Zhixin muttered while wiping Su Taotao's sweat.
"Mom, Taotao wants to eat some pastries. I want to buy some from the town."
Su Taotao's eyes lit up when she saw He Zhixin. Faced with He Zhixin's disdain, she did not refute, but stretched out her white and tender little hands and gently pulled He Zhixin's sleeves, and said crisply.
"It's almost time for dinner, what kind of cakes should we have?"
He Zhixin scratched the bridge of Su Taotao's nose with her fingers and said funny.
"Besides, it's far from the town. Even if you work hard, it will take more than an hour to get back and forth. By the time you get to the town, the pastry shops have long been closed. How can they sell you any pastries?"
"Isn't it good at home?"
It’s not like there isn’t a cook who knows how to make pastries at home, so why do we need one from town?
"But what brothers want to eat is the town's cakes."
Su Taotao pursed her lips, a little unhappy.
"Brothers?"
He Zhixin raised her eyebrows. There was something wrong with Su Taotao's words. Was there something hidden from her?
"Is it your second brother or your younger senior brother who wants to eat?"
"No, they are brothers from the village."
Su Taotao saw that He Zhixin wanted to ask clearly what was going on, so she didn't hide anything and directly explained the matter clearly.
"When we were in the mountains, my brothers accommodated themselves to me, so I chose the path that led to my brothers encountering a herd of wild boars."
"Although nothing happened to my brothers, I almost caused them to be in danger and suffered a thrill. I want to compensate them."
"I asked my brothers if they had any wishes they wanted to fulfill, and they said they wanted to eat pastries from the town."
"So that's it."
After hearing the whole story clearly, He Zhixin stood up, took Su Taotao's hand and walked inside.
"It's too late to go to town now. Let's go tomorrow. Mom will ask the coachman to go to town tomorrow, and I will buy it for you then."
"It takes Taotao's money."
Su Taotao took out a silver coin from her arms, raised her hand and handed it to He Zhixin.
He Zhixin wanted to say that she was rich and did not need Su Taotao's money.
"Taotao did something wrong, and Taotao should be the one to apologize and make amends, so Taotao's money must be used."
Su Taotao's fair and tender little face turned red because she ran back. She said with serious eyes and a clear voice.
"Okay, just use Taotao's money."
He Zhixin didn't say anything more, she just accepted Su Taotao's money and looked at Su Taotao with softer eyes.
The old Taoist priest really taught Su Taotao very well.
Such a young child can bravely admit his mistakes and seriously make up for what he has done wrong.
Such a well-behaved and sensible Taotao is unlucky.
It would be great if Taotao was really her daughter.
A trace of disappointment flashed in He Zhixin's eyes, and she quickly calmed down her emotions, holding Su Taotao's hand and walking forward.
"Let's go, it's almost time to eat."
"You've been out for a whole day and you should be hungry."
When Su Taotao heard that it was time to eat, she immediately put aside other things. By the time she finished eating, the sky had completely darkened.
The maids held lanterns in front to lead the way, and Su Taotao and Xiaosi held hands and returned to their yard together.
After waiting in the yard, Su Taotao planned to wave goodbye to Xiao Si.
After all, they are not in the same room.
"Taotao, I have something I want to tell you."
Xiao Si saw Su Taotao waving her hand and was about to turn around and leave, so she quickly called out to Su Taotao to stop her.
"Um?"
Su Taotao looked at Xiaosi with some confusion. Xiaosi looked confused, and then changed to a determined look.
"What's wrong?"
Su Taotao asked curiously.
"Let's talk in your room."
Xiaosi took Su Taotao's hand and went to Su Taotao's room to talk.
"Sister Xiaosi, just say what you want to say, I'm here to listen."
After returning to the room, Su Taotao looked at Xiaosi who was silent and became even more confused. What on earth is Sister Xiaosi going to do?
Didn’t you say you have something to say?
Why did you stop talking after you came in?
"Taotao, I..."
Xiao Si took a deep breath and encouraged himself in his heart.
"I want to be Taotao, your personal maid."
Xiaosi said loudly.
"I heard from the sisters in the yard that you don't have a personal maid yet. I... I don't talk much and I won't tell your secrets."
Although Xiaosi is silent and timid, she has good observation skills and is quite smart.
The conversation between Su Taotao and Yang Hongzhi in the afternoon did not avoid Xiaosi. Xiaosi listened to it half-understood and felt that Su Taotao seemed a little different from others.
After returning home, Su Taotao rummaged through her treasure bag, reached in and took out a large pile of paper that didn't even look like a small bag. This made Xiaosi understand even more that Su Taotao
's different.
She also wants to protect Taotao.
Taotao is so different. Is it because of this that Su Taotao doesn't have a personal maid?
Because Taotao's secret cannot be known to others.
She wants to protect Taotao, just like Taotao protected her before.
"ah?"
Su Taotao had no idea that this was what Xiao Si wanted to say.
"Why?"
Su Taotao asked puzzledly.
"Being a maid requires you to do a lot of things."
For example, serving tea and water, cleaning the room and yard, these are all things that maids and sisters have to do.
If the fourth sister becomes a maid, she will have to do all these things.
Isn’t it nice to live a life now where someone is taking care of you and you don’t have to do anything?
"But I can't do nothing all my life and just let you take care of me, right?"
Xiao Si has a very clear understanding of himself.
The Su family is kind-hearted, so they have taken her in for so long.
But she couldn't rely on the kindness of the Su family to support her for the rest of her life. This chapter has been completed!
