When Liu Zhi came to "find trouble" with Yuan Shanmei, the Yuan family was eating wild fruits among themselves. As an apology for the trouble caused by Tian Guijuan, Yuan Maoshi grabbed a large handful and gave it to his two children, and distributed it generously. Everyone in the family, including the children, all ate with juices flowing everywhere.
Liu Zhi snorted coldly, taking the fruit picked by the child they bullied as a favor, how shameless!
She pushed the door open and walked in, snorting coldly, "Hey, I had a great time eating!"
As soon as she heard Liu Zhi's voice, Tian Guijuan subconsciously hid behind her. She had offended too many people these days, and she really didn't have the energy to stand out and have another big quarrel.
Yuan Maoshi looked at the timid Yuan Shanmei behind Liu Zhi, and immediately understood her purpose of coming here, and preemptively said, "What's wrong Shanmei, is this woman unable to support her anymore and wants to send you back?" I just said that outsiders are not as good as my own parents, come here quickly.”
Liu Zhi held Yuan Shanmei's hand and snorted from her nose, "My own parents? You parents here are just unhappy and beat their children. The fruits that the children worked so hard to pick are all taken away from you by your parents." He snatched it away and injured the child’s finger, right?”
Yuan Maoshi did not panic at all, "Yuan Shanmei is my daughter, what do you do with my daughter's affairs? I advise you, a widow, not to meddle in your own business. I will not show mercy to you just because your partner has just died."
"Hey, now you not only beat children, but also outsiders, right? Do you take the captain's words as fart, or do you think the militiamen and police are just idiots?"
Tian Guijuan and Zhang Chun'e have seen Liu Zhi's eloquence, and she accompanied the team cadres to receive the leaders from the commune a few days ago. She was very popular. If she didn't handle it well and brought it to the team leader, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to advance this year. Well, the work points can no longer be paid to me as expected.
Zhang Chun'e walked over and grabbed her son, "Don't talk nonsense, a soft-footed shrimp is still beating someone!"
"Liu Zhi, we are all relatives after all. If you have anything to say, just tell me." Zhang Chun'e's attitude made a 180-degree turn. There was no way, nothing was as important as work points.
Liu Zhi pointed at Yuan Maoshi and said with a smile, "Your son is really promising. Early this morning, I sent Yuan Shanmei up the mountain to pick some wild fruits for me. He saw him halfway there. , they snatched the fruit away without even giving the child a chance to say a word. Why, did you grab the thing from me? Do you think I am easy to bully, or do you think I am easy to talk to?”
< br>
How could Yuan Maoshi want to get so much? When he saw the fruit in his daughter's tin can, he took it away without thinking. After all, he had never respected this daughter in his consciousness, he only felt that her things were his.
Chen Chun'e nodded and said sorry, "That's really embarrassing. Maoshi must not know that it's yours. So, Shanmei, tell grandma where you picked it. Tomorrow I will ask the children to go up the mountain to pick some. Can you send it back? ”
Yuan Shanmei thought about it honestly, "In the mountains, it is difficult to find that road. It seems that the path goes up, then to the right and then to the left." The child struggled to describe it for a while, but no one could understand how to pick the fruit. Where exactly is the place.
Liu Zhi sighed lightly, this child really has no sense at all.
"I don't dare to eat the fruits you picked. If you spit in them, how can I eat them?"
Zhang Chun'e asked, "Then...how do you want to solve it?"
"Give me ten eggs, and this matter will be canceled out. Otherwise, I will go to the captain for comment now."
Zhang Chun'e took a breath, ten eggs? This is really a lion's mouth to kill her!
"Is this...a little too much? Wild fruits are not valuable."
Liu Zhipi smiled but said, "For the sake of our relationship, let's have 8. It would be rude to bargain again!"
Tian Guijuan was furious, "Are you teaming up with that kid to defraud our family? How can you ask for 8 eggs to compensate for those broken fruits!"
"Who told you to steal my things! If I call the police, it will be a crime of robbery. Then I will go to jail for ten or eight years. Don't blame me for not accepting the privacy." Liu Zhi crossed her hands on her chest and said Looks like he is looking down on all living beings.
The women of the Yuan family all had their eyes wide open with anger, and they all wanted to come up and tear Liu Zhi apart, but she was not afraid at all. She slightly raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Chun'e, "Auntie, what do you think?"
Of course Zhang Chun'e disagreed in her heart, but the last time she hit her child made her lose face in the team. If Liu Zhi interfered again and made this incident public knowledge, she really couldn't let go of her face. The captain admitted his mistake.
That’s it, that’s it.
Zhang Chun'e went back to the house and took out the eight hidden eggs. She put them in the tin can that Yuan Shanmei had taken away from her father and handed them to Liu Zhi, "Here, take them."
When Liu Zhi led Yuan Shanmei out of the door, she heard Zhang Chun'e say coldly, "The eight eggs this time will be deducted from the second bedroom."
Tian Guijuan disagreed, "Why! Everyone in our family Maoshi brought back the fruit has eaten it. Now if something goes wrong, only one of us has to bear the responsibility?"
Liu Zhi was not interested in the quarrel that followed, so she strode forward.
As soon as they reached the locust tree in front of the door, a young girl ran out of the Yuan family. Her two braids swayed as she moved, "Shanmei!"
Yuan Shanmei turned around, broke away from Liu Zhi's hand, and greeted with a smile, "Third aunt!"
Yuan Hongqin walked up to Yuan Shanmei and said, "I didn't know until I came back yesterday that you are no longer living at home. My dear boy, have your injuries healed? Are you still in pain?"
The third aunt is the only person in the family who likes Yuan Shanmei. When she was not married, she often took her to pick peanuts in the fields and catch small fish by the stream. She would also speak for Yuan Shanmei when Tian Guijuan scolded her. Ever since she got married last year, Yuan Shanmei has completely become a pitiful little girl. Yuan Shanmei grinned, "It doesn't hurt anymore. I've been fine for a long time. Aunt Liu Zhi even took me to the hospital. The uncle in the hospital was wearing a white mask."
As the little girl chatted nonchalantly with her third aunt, Liu Zhi discovered that Yuan Shanmei was still not letting go in front of him. At least she would not tell him about her various encounters during the day like a little sparrow.
Looking at the silly and careless child, it seems that it is not that easy to get into her heart.
The two talked for a long time. Yuan Hongqin stood up and said gratefully, "Thank you Liu Zhi. If it weren't for you, this child would probably have a hard time."
Liu Zhi shook her head, "I am very destined to this child."
The two chatted for a few words, and Liu Zhi took Yuan Shanmei away. On the way, Liu Zhi asked her, "If your third aunt asks you to go home, will you go back?"
Yuan Shanmei thought for a while, "If Third Aunt is here, I will."
Gee, Liu Zhi wants to scold someone. This little white-eyed wolf clearly promised to be with her, but he left her behind as soon as the third aunt came back!
Liu Zhi hid the eight eggs stolen from Zhang Chun'e in a clay pot under the bed. Yuan Shanmei watched curiously as Liu Zhi stuffed the pot inside, "Aunt Liu Zhi, why are you stuffing them inside like this?"
"I'm afraid of being taken away by others!"
Liu Zhi glanced at her and asked, "If someone asked you where I put my eggs, what would you say?"
Yuan Shanmei said directly without thinking, "Under the bed."
When Liu Zhi was working in the original world, her colleagues shared a joke with her. It was said that one person in their unit scolded his colleagues in the same office as soon as he came home. The next time some colleagues made an appointment to play with their children, that person's child pointed at a lady and said, "My mother said you are a pig. So stupid!”
Liu Zhi doesn't know how old that colleague is, but if Yuan Shanmei continues to be so naive, I'm afraid she will become that colleague's child.
She pulled Yuan Shanmei to sit down, "Shanmei, it's right that children can't lie, but if you encounter some questions that you can't answer, you can say you don't know, right?"
"Think about it, the reason why Aunt Liu hid the eggs in the innermost part is not to prevent others from discovering that there are eggs inside. If you tell them, what's the point of hiding them?"
"Also, just now your grandma asked you where you found the wild fruit. That was the place you children found with so much hard work. If others find out about it, you won't be able to eat it next time you go there."
"So." Liu Zhi concluded, "When someone asks you a question, you have to first think about whether answering truthfully will have any negative impact on yourself. Do you understand?"
"I know!" Yuan Shanmei responded sharply, "I won't even say I don't know next time."
It doesn't seem to be the case.
Yuan Shanmei suddenly remembered Zhao Lili's plea in the morning and asked, "Aunt Liu Zhi, Zhao Lili is also very pitiful. Can you also bring her here? She said she can do a lot of work."
Liu Zhi:.
You little girl is so indifferent!
"Do you think I will agree or not?"
Yuan Shanmei's little brain became more enlightened, and she knew how to observe Liu Zhi's eyes. Seeing her helpless look, she knew, "Don't agree?"
"Then do you know why I didn't agree?"
Yuan Shanmei shook her head honestly, she really didn't know how to answer this question!
"There are so many poor people in this world. As far as the Ningshui Brigade is concerned, there are more than ten children whose biological mothers have died. Is it possible that every one of them will cry to you and I will adopt them? I am here It’s not an orphanage, but you think too highly of me.”
Yuan Shanmei opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but found that she had no way to refute.
Liu Zhi sighed again and said sincerely, "Shanmei, kindness is a very, very important quality, but kindness is definitely not a tool for others to use you. Do you understand? If your friend is in trouble, we can do our best. Maybe help her instead of her doing nothing and relying on your help. Similarly, if it is an unreasonable request, you must refuse it when you should. Being kind does not mean being easy to fool. ”

Yuan Shanmei blinked in confusion, and Liu Zhi sighed again, somewhat understanding the mood of parents whose children often fall behind in exams.
Sad, so sad!

The author said: Liu Zhi (akimbo): Mom, how could you be so naive?
Yuan Shanmei: Hehe, when you grow up.
Liu Zhi: That doesn’t exist. You are still so naive even when you are old!
