She changed into sportswear and tied her hair into a ponytail. Her hands hanging down on her body had nowhere to rest. She turned her head and said to Le Zhizhen, “Auntie, I will work hard.”
Le Zhizhen made a cheering gesture: “Yes! Win first place!”
Mu Xiaoshi pursed her lips tightly. She also wanted to be the first.
Before the competition, the adults of each family tied ropes to the feet of themselves and their children, went back and forth twice, and took a one-minute break in the middle. Si Tian’s group had to be replaced so that every child could participate in the sports project.
Ji Ningyi went first. Ji Zhile stood at the finish line and yelled for cheers.
In the first lap, Ji Ningyi and Si Tian were the first to reach the finish line. Ji Zhile jumped up and down with joy. He thought that this was so simple. He would definitely lead his mother to run faster and get first place.
But when Ji Zhile got there, it was completely different. Ji Zhile didn’t know why he and his mother acted differently every time.
Seeing other families getting farther and farther away from him, Ji Zhile was so anxious that his eyes were red.
Si Tian said: “It’s okay. I’ll call left and right, you just follow my call and move your feet.”
Ji Zhile’s eyes were hazy: “Yeah.”
But then Si Tian discovered a more serious problem. Ji Zhile couldn’t distinguish between left and right!
The two people who didn’t cooperate well naturally got the last place.
After reaching the finish line, Ji Zhile was stunned. He stood there blankly and let Si Tian tie off the rope on his feet. Then, he threw himself into Si Tian’s arms, his voice heartbroken: “Mom, we are the last, woo woo woo…”
Mu Xiaoshi saw this scene from the side and moved her toes toward Ji Zhile unconsciously. She wanted to go over and say something to him. If it hadn’t been for Ji Zhile, she would have been the last one.
Mu Xiaoshi seemed to be born with insufficiently developed motor cells, and she did not cooperate well with her Aunt. She was frustrated and sad. She had been holding back tears. She knew that crying after she had done something wrong would be more annoying.
But Mu Xiaoshi had never comforted anyone before and didn’t know what to do.
At this time, she saw Aunt Si Tian hugging Ji Zhile. Her voice was very gentle and without any blame: “It’s okay, Zhile. You have worked very hard just now. Mom has seen it.”
Ji Zhile sobbed: “I really worked hard, but I just can’t run, woo woo woo…”
Si Tian felt that Ji Zhile’s sad and whimpering look was really pitiful, so she couldn’t bear to blame him. What’s more, it was not Ji Zhile’s fault. Si Tian didn’t care about the ranking, but Ji Zhile cared about it very much.
“I know, because you are still relatively young and they are all older than you, so it is normal that you cannot outrun other children. You will definitely be more powerful when you grow up.” Si Tian comforted Ji Zhile.
Instead of blaming yourself, find fault with others. (T/N: Hehe~~)
She had to say that this was really useful. Ji Zhile stopped whining, raised his head, and asked her: “Really?”
His eyes were red like a rabbit.
Si Tian: “Of course!”
Ji Zhile thought about it and found that it was indeed the case. The sadness in his heart disappeared a lot. He clenched his fists: “I will work harder next time!”
“Okay, Mom believes in you!”
Mu Xiaoshi withdrew her gaze. She felt that Aunt Si Tian was really good. It would have been better if Aunt Si Tian had taught her how to dance.
The next project was to pass an obstacle while blindfolded. The adult was being blindfolded, and the child directed them. It still walked twice as before.
Ji Zhile didn’t shout cheers this time. He knew that the sound would disturb his mother, so he just cheered for her in his heart.
In this game, Ji Ningyi won the first place again.
Ji Zhile looked at his brother’s eyes and said, “Brother, you are so great.”
Ji Ningyi said: “Zhile will be the conductor later. Zhile, don’t be afraid. We are much faster than other groups. It doesn’t matter if you are slower.”
Ji Zhile nodded movedly: “Brother is so kind.”
But Ji Zhile is only three and a half years old after all. Although he usually spoke very fluently and seemed to be a very smart kid, he still didn’t know the difference between left and right.
Sometimes, he saw Si Tian going in the wrong direction and shouted: “Wrong, wrong, it’s the opposite!”
Although this game only involved the movement of the mouth, Ji Zhile used all his strength, squaring and jumping, regardless of whether Si Tian could see it or not.
After Si Tian’s tenacious trial and error, coupled with the advantages brought by Ji Ningyi before, they successfully achieved third place.
