“Mr. Director, we Chinese have a saying: ‘If you’re going to help someone, help them to the very end.’ Since I’ve already promised to help you, I will definitely help you properly. Since I’m the one helping you, I can’t use the gas in your car anymore. After all, Mr. Director, you’re from a big city, and if you want to go back, you can only do so by car. Otherwise, how long would it take to walk? If there’s no gas in your car, you won’t be able to get back. So, I can’t use your gas.”
Yun Duo said to James in a very serious tone.
James was increasingly confused. And naturally, that uneasy feeling grew stronger as well.
After thinking it over and over, he finally couldn't resist and looked at Yunduo, asking, "Cute little girl, can you tell me how you want to help me? What do you want to help me with?"
“Of course, it’s to help you destroy those rice grains,” Yun Duo said matter-of-factly, then smiled at James and said, “Didn’t the director just say that you’re taking these rice grains back to destroy them? But our place is too remote, and the roads are difficult to travel. It’s inconvenient for you to transport these rice grains out, it will take a lot of effort and money. It’s such a waste.”
"So, I'd like to burn this rice for you right here. Burning it to ashes is the same as destroying it. You're destroying it anyway. Transporting it back for destruction would take a lot of effort and waste a lot of shipping costs, it's not worth it."
"Why don't we just destroy it here?"
"Anyway, there are so many of you here watching, so you know I really destroyed these rice grains. I'm not lying."
At this point, a hint of sadness appeared on Yun Duo's little face, and she continued, "Although I really don't want to destroy this rice, because it's all food, it can fill our stomachs, keep us from going hungry, and give us the strength to work. But there's nothing I can do, it's your rule, and your rule says that these things must be destroyed, so the director can't do anything about it, right?"
"If you're going to destroy it, then destroy it. We can keep the ash from burning the grain and use it as fertilizer to fertilize the fields. If other seeds knew that the ash that provided them with nutrients was once a high-yield rice crop, they would definitely work hard to grow and produce a lot of grain as well."
James felt like he was being driven crazy by this little Chinese girl.
Did he go to so much trouble to get rice seeds just to destroy them? No, he wanted to use them as seed to see if he could optimize their cultivation.
This little girl, isn't she a devil?
After rambling on and on, in the end they actually wanted to "help" him burn the rice.
Does he need her help?
James's face darkened involuntarily, and he said in a somewhat stiff tone, "No, I don't need you to help me destroy these rice grains."
"Why?" Yun Duo opened her eyes wide, looking at James with a 'surprise' expression. Finally, her little face fell, revealing an 'undisguised' 'disappointment': "Mr. Director, you won't even let us use the ash from the destroyed rice?" At this point, Yun Duo looked like she was about to cry, pouting as she said, "But, we really worked so hard to grow this rice! I even helped them weed and catch bugs."
"Then...then Mr. Director, please take the ashes away later..."
