Chickens and dogs fly in chaos and rebirth

Chapter 38

Finally, someone is willing to take her along?

Have they stopped rejecting themselves?

Her mature mindset made her less interested in childish play; however, the obvious rejection from her classmates still saddened her.

Humans are social animals, and anyone who is rejected by the public will feel sad.

Shanglin never wanted to be different from others, and she wanted to blend in with everyone, but she tried all sorts of methods and people just wouldn't include her. What could she do?

She was somewhat taken aback by this sudden turn of events, which she had already given up on.

Pan Ling waited and waited, but received no reply. Giving up in despair, she said, "Fine, I know you have to study during PE class..."

Tears of disappointment streamed down his face as he walked away dejectedly.

“Great!” Shang Lin’s voice of agreement was like heavenly music, making her eyes light up.

"really?"

Shang Lin smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Pan Ling smiled broadly: "Okay, then I'll go back and tell everyone!"

After saying that, she skipped away, and the girls rushed out from their hiding place, surrounding her and asking all at once, "So, so, she agreed?"

"I knew it! My sister used to say that Shanglin is the most fun place!"

"I should have spoken to her first!" he said, somewhat annoyed.

Her eyes crinkled into crescents as she looked at these adorable children.

"Little ball, banana, pear, Malan flowers bloom at twenty-one, two eight two five six, two eight two five seven, two eight two nine thirty-one..."

Free time during physical education class.

In elementary school, physical education classes are usually combined between two classes. Today, it was Class 1 and Class 2's turn to have class together. Some of the boys went to play soccer, some played games, and some joined the girls, reciting nursery rhymes with great interest.

The girls in Class 1 were especially excited.

Not only because they had already won several rounds, but also because Qiu Shanglin was with them and playing together.

Never underestimate the power of idols; Class 1 was clearly full of fighting spirit, while Class 2 was somewhat disappointed.

Shanglin hadn't exercised in a long time, and she was out of breath after just a few jumps, so she gave up on playing and obediently held the rubber bands for them. She shook her head whenever anyone offered to take her place; as long as the girls in her class hadn't lost, she would stand there patiently.

This further increased the girls' positive impression of him.

Look how nice Qiu Shanglin is! She's not arrogant at all, and she doesn't compete with everyone for jump rope. Unlike Li Wenwen from Class 2, who, relying on her good grades and the fact that her father is the deputy mayor in charge of education, always holds her head high like a peacock and always cheats when jumping rope!

Little did they know that Shanglin not only lacked physical strength, but also disliked repeating the same few actions over and over again. Standing here holding the rubber band, he could even daydream and use his brain to think about the story of Mocha Cat.

Maybe we can let Mocha jump rope too?

It's about being close to everyday life.

You won't know until you try it—there are so many rhymes and songs associated with girls playing jump rope! Listen to them:

"Big rooster, clucking away, gets up early every day without sleeping, reads books and newspapers, knows all the important national affairs. Bananas, apples, and pears, delicious and beautiful, but won't give them to Zhou Bapi, Zhou Bapi, who stole my pears, I'll catch him alive and skin him alive!"

There's also: "Learn from Li Xiangyang, never surrender. If the enemy comes to capture me, I'll jump over the mountain wall. If the mountain wall is useless, I'll crawl into a tunnel. There are explosives in the tunnel, I'll blow up the Japanese!"

I was shocked as I listened. Goodness, such young children are subjected to such bloody violence. Isn't this too detrimental to their mental health and development? What kind of people wrote these songs? Why can't they write something positive and wholesome? Skinning people alive and blowing up Japanese soldiers is too cruel!

Qiu Shanglin, a pacifist and verbal enthusiast, was distracted while playing jump rope when he suddenly heard people arguing. He snapped out of his daze and realized that two groups of people had stopped playing jump rope and started arguing.

“You’re cheating, you’re doing it on purpose!” Pan Ling said.

"Tch, you can't even dance well yourself, yet you blame others!" said a girl from Class 2 who looked somewhat familiar but whom I didn't recognize.

“But you deliberately spoke loudly to disturb me!” Pan Ling insisted.

"I love to speak loudly!" she said, her voice growing even louder.

After a brief, buzzing argument, neither side could gain the upper hand. Pan Ling spotted Qiu Shanglin standing on the outer edge of the crowd and rushed over to grab her, saying, "Shanglin, you be the judge! Isn't it their class that's cheating?"

Shanglin was bewildered: "Huh?"

What happened? Can anyone tell me? I was just distracted for a little while, what happened?

Pan Ling has good communication skills and can explain things clearly in just a few words.

The girls in Class 1 had the upper hand today, and they didn't lose even after several people jumped rope. The girls in Class 2 could only watch helplessly. Pan Ling was jumping rope with another girl when the arrogant Li Wenwen deliberately spoke loudly to distract her, causing her to jump the wrong step.

Both sides insisted on their own reasoning and refused to back down.

After listening, she was at a loss, facing the expectant gazes of the girls in her class.

It seems like both sides are right, yet neither is right either. She's not the judge, so how can they assume their judgment is always correct?

Just as she was in a dilemma, Li Wenwen blushed and shouted, "Don't think you can bully people just because you're all in this together! I'm going back to tell my dad to fire you all!"

She was taken aback. A group of bullies?

Look at the other side, then look at our own. It seems like we have about the same number of people on both sides, right? And if we're talking about who's louder, she's the louder one. Who bullied you? I haven't even said a word yet!

The girls who had been indignant suddenly fell silent after she finished speaking, seemingly intimidated by Li Wenwen's father's power.

Shanglin knew, of course, that even if her father was the deputy mayor in charge of education, or even the director of the national education department, he couldn't just dismiss anyone. Besides, they had only had a small argument over jumping rope.

However, we cannot ignore the children's feelings.

At the same time, they also looked down on that other person, what's her name, oh, Li Wenwen, right?

If you're incompetent, why do you expect others to always give way to you? What's with the arrogance?

With her stubborn streak kicking in, Qiu Shanglin completely forgot that she was just a child and not worth arguing with. All she could think about was that she was reborn, that she was working hard to earn money and make a living, and that she was still timid and afraid of this and that.

You, as the daughter of a town mayor, dare to use your power to bully others. Why should I be afraid of you?

But arguing with her would be beneath her dignity, and she really didn't know if Li Wenwen would cry if she talked back—it seemed pointless to bully a child.

After thinking for a moment, he ignored her and said to the girls in his class, "Let's go, let's stop playing, it's no fun. I'll go tell you a story!"

The girls cheered and crowded around Qiu Shanglin, leading her to a corner.

Li Wenwen's efforts were like throwing cotton; bringing up her father's name went unnoticed, leaving her young heart feeling extremely humiliated.

She was still young and didn't understand that this feeling stemmed from a loss of self-esteem. She simply thought Qiu Shanglin was really annoying, annoying from head to toe. Why did she have to enroll early? Why was she in Class 1? Why was she going against her?

Biting her lower lip, she watched them walk away with resentment.

Not far away, Li Changsheng's shot went wide, landing right next to Qiu Shanglin. He ran over to retrieve the ball and talked to Qiu Shanglin. No one knew what they said, but the girls around them laughed. Qiu Shanglin also laughed happily and even patted the dust off his clothes.

Li Changsheng listened attentively to her with his head down, smiled along with her, and let her pat his clothes!

Why? Why? He never pays attention to her when she talks to him, so why is he so nice to Qiu Shanglin?

She glanced at her again, she must be mocking her, yes, she must have told Li Changsheng what happened earlier, mocking her! Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly stared wide-eyed, refusing to let them fall, glaring hatefully at the laughing and talking crowd in the distance, ignoring the girls in her class who were carefully pulling her: "Wenwen, we'll hold you up, it's your turn to jump."

He flung her hand away, stomped his foot, and turned to leave the playground.

Li Changsheng returned to the field and played football with several older boys, causing a ruckus. She glanced back and puffed out her cheeks.

What's so great about that? He's just taller, has bigger eyes, and knows more martial arts than others!

Never assume that an eight-year-old girl doesn't understand jealousy. Li Wenwen, at the age of six, knew how to chase away her cousin who was clinging to her grandmother and deliberately hid her cousin's shoes while she was napping.

Girl

The elementary school curriculum held no novelty for Shanglin. Long before starting school, she had already studied it on her own—well, actually, she had skimmed through it.

She never thought that elementary school courses were difficult. Even Qiu Shanglin, who was not particularly talented in later generations, could easily achieve good grades. Moreover, she had been studying at her own pace for the past few years without any interest, and her knowledge level had long exceeded that of elementary school students.
