Fortunately, this strange emotion came and went quickly.

Smelling the sweet aroma of chestnuts in the air, Shu Miao's stomach began to rumble again.

I didn’t care about anything else and walked over to open the bamboo basket and saw tonight’s dinner.

Sure enough, it was sweet potato porridge with chestnuts. What was different from the previous ones was that there was a handful of pickled vegetables or something in the bowl.

Shu Miao considered that if he ate slowly, he might bump into the "auntie" who came to wash the dishes. Without thinking too much, he stepped on a small stool and started eating at the stove.

As soon as Shu Miao took the pickled vegetable shreds in his mouth, his eyes lit up. He chewed them quickly and pushed the porridge sticking to the surface of the bowl into his mouth.

After some of the porridge in the bowl had gone down, Shu Miao took the bowl and returned to the room.

Having not consumed salt for a long time, Shu Miao cherished this small handful of pickled vegetable shreds very much.

After eating a large bowl of porridge, she still felt a little unsatisfied.

He wanted to comfort himself that he shouldn't eat too much before going to bed, but the next second, Shu Miao remembered what Sister Ling had said.

When children are growing, their appetite will suddenly increase and their sleep time will also become longer. At this time, they have to open their stomachs to feed their mouths and try their best to sleep more so that they can grow taller and bigger quickly.

Combined with my own situation over the past few days, the symptoms were not exactly the same as what Sister Ling described, but I also encountered the two most important ones, and I was immediately excited!

Yes, how could she forget that this body is several years older than her. Although she didn't know exactly how many years older, according to the information she learned from Sister Ling, combined with her observations of those brothers and sisters who suddenly grew taller.

Most girls start to grow rapidly when they are around ten years old.

If this body is really over ten years old, it is indeed time for it to grow taller.

Then she must not treat herself badly!

She doesn't want to be a dwarf. If one day she gets into a fight with someone and can't even hit the other person's head when she jumps up, she will definitely vomit to death!

She always remembered the saying, "An inch longer, an inch stronger."

Since the ancients said so, it must be right, she must be tall!

Shu Miao, who was full of ambition, generously poured the saved pickled vegetable shreds into the leftover soup from lunch, mixed it, and then put it into his mouth in big mouthfuls.

At the very end, he put two more eggs into his mouth before giving up.

After eating and drinking, Shu Miao rinsed his mouth before leaving the space.

At this moment, the sky outside the house had become completely dark. Shu Miao listened attentively behind the door for a while, and after making sure that the "aunt" and her son were not in the yard, he tiptoed out.

I took the washed dishes back to the kitchen and turned back to my room to sleep.

She needs to get enough sleep so that she can grow taller!

No words were spoken that night.

The next day, at daybreak,

A burst of rapid gong sounds suddenly broke the silence of the early morning. Upon hearing the noise, the members immediately got up, dressed, and after being fully equipped, they rushed to the brigade headquarters in an orderly manner.

But a moment later, a special suona melody resounded throughout the riverside brigade.

The autumn harvest has officially begun.

Shu Miao, who was sitting at the door of his house and eating sweet potatoes, was always paying attention to Shu Zili's movements.

Seeing him carrying a coarse cloth bag and jogging towards the gate of the yard in a hurry, he immediately ran to catch up with him.

Shu Zili turned around and was about to lock the door when he saw Shu Miao following closely. His brows furrowed, his face filled with displeasure. "Didn't I tell you to rest at home and stop wandering around?"

"I'm going to pick up rice ears!" Shu Miao said seriously.

"Are you stupid? I don't want to go, but I told you to take a break, but you don't want to go." Do you really think picking rice ears is a good job?

Shu Miao remained unmoved, staring at him steadily with a resolute attitude!

I almost said directly, even if you don't let me go, I can still go by myself.

Shu Zili originally wanted to have a good talk with her about how hard Qiu Shou had worked.

Unexpectedly, in just a moment, Shu Miao showed that gloomy expression again, especially those dark eyes, which scared him so much.

I unconsciously took several steps back before I felt a sense of security.

Shu Zili, still frightened, swallowed hard, his voice trembling.

"Hey, I, I told you in advance, it was you who insisted on going. If you are assigned to work in the future, it is none of my business!"

Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly dropped the key, turned around and ran, and soon disappeared in a flash.

Shu Miao blinked, and her pupils regained focus.

She raised her eyes and looked in the direction where Shu Zili left, with a smile on her lips.

At the same time, she became more and more curious about what kind of existence her original self was in the Shu family, and why everyone loved to call her "little ghost, little ghost"?

If she hadn't keenly noticed that these people were avoiding her gaze intentionally or unintentionally, she really wouldn't have known that her eyes were so useful!

Look, it came in handy again today!

This also reminded her of the last time when the "auntie" looked at her, and she also felt a similar fear.

It would be fine if children were scared by her, but how could adults be scared too?

What a strange world, with so many strange people...

The thought only lasted a moment, and she quickly put it all behind her.

With the key in hand, Shu Miao turned around and went back to the house. Holding the "cloth bag" he had made, he happily chased in the direction Shu Zili left.

Shu Miao, who showed up with a new look for the first time, walked by the roadside with a calm and composed look on his face.

Don't get me wrong, she was afraid of blocking the ox carts carrying grain.

until……

A yellow ox suddenly paused. The herder, as if anticipating this, quickly pulled out a sack and swiftly caught the pile of steaming cow dung.

Shu Miao was petrified on the spot...

who I am?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

The old man had no idea how horrifying his behavior looked to the girl beside him.

He happily put away the sack of cow dung, patted the cow's butt as usual, and praised it generously: "Good buddy!"

The look of pride on his face almost made Shu Miao suspect that what the old man had just received was not a pile of cow dung, but some treasure...

Until another empty ox cart came back from the opposite direction, the old man hurriedly led his old friend to the side to make way, and then he noticed the unfamiliar boy who had been staring at the "dung bag".

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't remember whose child it was, so he immediately called out,

"Whose kid is this? How can you be so tactless? Can't you see everyone is busy? What are you doing here?"

Shu Miao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately lowered his head. He responded with a "Nono" and turned around and ran away.

Seeing this, the old man exclaimed "Huh?", looked back at the running figure in confusion, and shook his head helplessly with a laugh.

Then he shouted and drove the ox cart away slowly.

Shu Miao followed the empty ox cart not too far away and came to a valley with only a small path.

The valley is neither big nor small, and it seems to cover about two or three acres of land.

What is most eye-catching at this moment is not the golden ears of rice in the field, but the army of children ready to go by the field.

It was also Shu Miao's first time to pick up wheat ears. Seeing that he had accomplices, and there were quite a few of them, he instantly felt much more at ease.
