Shu Miao took a look at the field and saw that only half an acre of rice had not been harvested, so he knew that the "competition" was about to begin.
Although she wondered why the children didn't stay by the empty rice field, she was new there and had no experience, so she decided to check out the situation first.
As for where Shu Zili went, that’s not important.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others. It is better to understand the process first.
She first looked around the group of children, trying to find out if the few children who had dared to talk to her that day were there. After all, it was easier to talk to acquaintances. Unfortunately, there was not a single familiar child in the group.
She hadn't noticed it just now, but now that she's taken a closer look, judging by the size of these kids, she's clearly blending in with the little brats!
But seeing that as long as he stayed here, he would be able to "pick" rice ears openly, Shu Miao gritted his teeth and decided to shamelessly join in the fun!
Anyway, there is no clear regulation on which age of children are allowed to pick up the trash in which fields. As for the inside story, it is easy to guess. It is nothing more than the adults in the family secretly helping their children. Since it is "secretly", they certainly dare not be too blatant. The worst that can happen is that they will get a few cold stares.
After thinking about it this way, Shu Miao felt much more at ease.
His usually dull eyes now turned smartly and immediately fixed on one of the children who was pulling his companion non-stop.
Eh?
You just said that no one looked familiar, but now there is one that looks familiar?
If she remembered correctly, wasn't this the one who howled the most miserably that day?
What was he howling about that day?
"I didn't dig the sweet potatoes. I didn't dig them. I was just watching from the side."
This explanation, which may seem like a cover-up to adults, is quite credible to Shu Miao.
Because she was lucky enough to meet a little fool with a similar personality. Even if things had nothing to do with him, he would always get himself into trouble by doing the most unexpected things.
For example, someone broke the glass in the cafeteria. After the director's mother asked around and no one admitted it, she started swearing symbolically.
And I don’t know what was wrong with that little fool, but he just answered the question in front of everyone.
He was convicted directly with the simple statement "It wasn't me".
If she hadn't seen with her own eyes the little fool sleeping in the room all afternoon, she might have thought he was the culprit.
There are many more incidents like this, so I won’t list them all here.
Anyway, as long as you know that silly boy, Chunchun is the kind of person who never learns from his mistakes.
Back to the topic, Shu Miao was present at the mobilization meeting that day to "kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
When she saw the stupid look on the child's face and the light force with which his father whipped him, she immediately confirmed that the child was the same kind of person as the little fool.
Isn’t there a breakthrough now?
Little Tiezhu, who didn't know he was being labeled a "little fool", was proudly showing off to his friends how delicious the white flour dumplings he had eaten last night were, causing the other children to exclaim in envy.
Only one of the little girls, a girl with a red hairband, said with disdain, "I don't want to play with a thief."
This sentence quickly revived the temporarily forgotten memories of the children, and other children immediately joined in the conversation.
The children changed their previous enthusiasm towards Tiezhu and started to talk about all the faults of Tiezhu one after another.
"I didn't! I was just watching!" Tiezhu turned around and yelled at the girl. Thinking of what had happened before, tears welled up in his eyes.
"If you didn't, why were you beaten?"
"That's right, that's right. I think Tiezhu not only steals things, but also loves to lie!"
"Let's go, let's go. We won't play with him. My mom said that if you play with bad kids, you'll learn bad habits!"
Tiezhu didn't know how to defend himself. He was so anxious that tears came to his eyes, but he could only stamp his feet.
"I saw it!" Shu Miao spoke at this moment.
The children turned around and looked at him, "He really didn't steal the sweet potatoes, I saw it!"
As he spoke, Shu Miao gave the girl with the red hairband a meaningful look, which immediately stopped her from asking questions.
In fact, after the "killing the chicken to scare the monkey" drama ended that day, Shu Miao heard a little boy about three or four years old say to the girl with the red hairband, "I saw it, Brother Tiezhu didn't steal the red..."
Before the little boy could finish his words, the girl with the red hairband covered his mouth and warned him not to talk about this matter again, otherwise she would make him suffer.
Shu Miao, who was watching this scene, could be considered an alternative witness.
Seeing someone testify, Tiezhu's face full of anger instantly turned into joy, and his tearful eyes showed the long-accumulated grievances.
Can't wait to hold the hands of people around you and constantly seek recognition.
"Listen, I'm not lying, and I'm not a thief!"
"I was wronged."
A few people looked at the girl with the red hairband and saw that she didn't say anything and didn't say any more unpleasant words, but they still lost their initial enthusiasm towards Tiezhu.
Tiezhu, who was eager to seek recognition, felt very aggrieved when he saw that no one paid any attention to him after he had spoken for a long time.
Finally, he could only walk to Shu Miao in shame, and said again, "I'm not a thief!"
"I know." Shu Miao turned to look at him and nodded calmly.
The person who wronged you knows best how wronged you are.
But your behavior that day was definitely not innocent, so you were taken advantage of.
But there is no need to say this to hurt others, after all, the two of them are not familiar with each other.
And even if you tell them, they may not remember it.
When Tiezhu saw Shu Miao responding to him seriously, his eyes suddenly lit up, but then dimmed again.
"But why don't they believe me?"
"Then go play with friends who believe in you." Shu Miao suggested seriously.
Tie Zhu was stunned for a moment, and after a long while he spoke tentatively.
"Well, then I'll play with you."
That's what I want you to say!
Shu Miao nodded generously, then immediately changed the subject, asking curiously, "How many rice ears did you pick?"
Children's emotions come and go quickly, and Tiezhu quickly forgot the unpleasantness he had just felt.
Hearing this, he couldn't wait to open his shoulder bag to show Shu Miao.
"Look, is it a lot?"
Shu Miao leaned over to take a look, and when he saw the three or two ears of rice, the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
Is this still a lot?
Before she could ask anything else, Tiezhu changed his complacent attitude, looked around stealthily, and said in a self-proclaimed "soft voice",
"You're late, and you won't be able to get ahead later. So, just follow me. I guarantee you can pick up at least three...four ears!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his round head again, and his confident look was beyond words.
If the number he said wasn't so heartbreaking, Shu Miao would have been almost moved by him...
