Chapter 56: Amazing! It turns out it can be done this way
"What's the matter? Is there anything wrong with our Ruoruo?"

Lin Han squatted down and looked straight at the cute little girl wearing a mask in front of him.

"It's not me, it's other kids in the village."

Lin Ruo pointed to a few children outside the gate who were clinging to the door frame and said in a baby voice.

"Brother Xiaohan made me some sugar snowballs the day before yesterday, and I shared them with everyone.

They like it so much and want you to make more, so I came to talk to you."

"profound?"

Lin Han narrowed his eyes and looked meaningfully at the children outside the door.

Although he doesn't usually live in the village and only comes back occasionally, he still remembers several famous monkeys in the village.

Normally, these brats bully Lin Ru the most, but Lin Ru actually pleaded with them and wanted him to make some sugar snowballs for them?

Feeling Lin Han's meaningful gaze, the children at the door knew they were in the wrong and shrank back, obviously a little scared.

"Ruoruo, I have time now and can help you make sugar snowballs, but I have something else to ask you."

Lin Han took Lin Ruo's hand and asked solemnly:
"When your brother was not at home before, those brats outside the door bullied you, right?
Why do you come to help them when they want to eat sugar snowballs? Did they force you to do this? "

Although there was still a smile on his face, Lin Han's gaze had turned cold when he asked this question.

As long as Lin Ruo said those words, 'They forced me to come here, and if I didn't come they would bully me again'.

Lin Han no longer cared about the neighborhood relationship and went straight to deal with those bad boys.

But unexpectedly, Lin Ruo shook his head and said:
“They bullied me, but they also played with me and shared picture books borrowed from the school library with me.

Although my mother told me that those who bullied me were bad kids, they were also nice to me.

So I thought, even if they are bad kids, maybe they are not that bad.

I am not sad now, if I forgive them, maybe we can still be friends?"

At this point, her mood became a little depressed:

“I don’t have any friends, but I really want some.”

Lin Han was slightly stunned.

He knew what Lin Ruo meant by 'no friends'.

Because of the burn scars on his face and body, Lin Ruo has always been very self-conscious and unwilling to interact with other children. Naturally, he is not willing to go to school.

She was already old enough to go to school, but because of this, she kept crying and refusing to go to school.

My second uncle and second sister-in-law couldn't do anything with her, so they could only let her do what she wanted.

All the other children had gone to school when they reached age, and she was left all alone in the village.

No one wanted to play with her, and she didn't understand what was taught in school, so it was naturally difficult for her to make friends.

Although the other children would occasionally be kind to Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo thought that the mentality of making friends was unequal from the beginning.

The conflict was handed over to Lin Han, which instead caused problems.

There is nothing wrong with making a pot of sugar snowballs and distributing them to the children. The key issue is, will doing so encourage Lin Ruo's tendency to have a people-pleasing personality?
I was hesitating about what to do when I heard Jiang Mengyan's gentle voice behind me:

"In that case, Ruoruo, go tell those kids to bring their friends so that everyone can share the sugar snowballs, okay?
Today is Sunday, there are no classes in school, so everyone should be free."

"Ok!"

Lin Ruo nodded vigorously and ran to the door.

"Just agree to her just like that?" Lin Han asked, looking at Lin Ruo's cheerful little back.

"I know what you're worried about, but maybe this is a good opportunity for Ruoruo to integrate into the group of other children."

Jiang Mengyan raised the corners of her lips slightly, smiling gently:

"It's okay, just do it, I'll watch over here."

"it is good."

The children acted quickly, and Lin Rucai ran to the door to tell the leading children.

A few minutes after the news came out, about ten children of similar age in the village gathered at the door of the Lin family's old house.

Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Mengyan went to pick some hawthorns, and walked into the yard carrying a heavy little basket, followed closely by Lin Ruo.

Asking Lin Ruo to call the group of children in, Jiang Mengyan took a few small plates and spoons from the kitchen, pointed to the large basket of hawthorns that had just been picked and the group of children and said:

“Lin Ruo’s brother can help make sugar snowballs, but before that, he needs to wash the hawthorns and process the cores.

These need you to do, Ruoruo, you have to come too."

Lin Ruo nodded, indicating that he was willing to do it together.

"Okay, then assign tasks to these kids. Who will wash the hawthorns and who will dig out the cores?

Children who do a good job will be able to get more sugar snowballs later."

Jiang Mengyan smiled.

Upon hearing this, the children immediately tensed up, lined up quickly, and waited obediently for Lin Ruo to assign them tasks.

"Then you guys go get some water, wash the red fruits, and then the four of us will remove the cores from the red fruits."

Lin Ruo obviously had never done anything like this before. He assigned the tasks awkwardly and added:
"When my brother was making sugar snowballs that day, I helped him. I know how to make them. I'll teach you."

She was actually very nervous, fearing that the other children would refuse.

Unexpectedly, their reactions were surprisingly consistent:
"Okay! I'll go get some water!"

"I'll wash the red fruits. When I wash dishes at home, my mother always praises me for washing them cleanly!"

"Ruororororuo, how do I remove the core from hawthorn? Teach me quickly."

Perhaps because he had never felt such enthusiasm from his peers before, Lin Ruo was almost flattered.

"Just like this, use the smaller end of the spoon to poke into the red fruit, then slowly turn it in a circle and push it again. That's it."

Lin Ruo blushed as she slowly demonstrated the method that Lin Han had taught her that day. As expected, she received exclamations from a group of girls:

"Wow, it's amazing! It can be done this way!"

"Wow, Ruoruo you are so amazing, I never thought it was possible!"

Lin Ruo was surrounded in the middle, feeling somewhat at a loss, but more than that, she was filled with joy:

"Actually, my brother taught me. I didn't know how to do it at first."

"You have such an amazing brother, that's awesome too!"

Jiang Mengyan stood by, watching the children gradually becoming more and more lively, smiling without saying a word.

Lin Han just went to the kitchen to prepare tools. After a few minutes, when he came out, he saw the children in the yard were already fighting. He couldn't help but be slightly stunned:
"Wow, are we playing together already? So soon?"

"Children sometimes say hurtful things, not because they really know that these words can hurt people."
