"I'm not going," Tang Yuxin said, clutching her jar of rice bran. Her wrists ached from the constant stirring, but she couldn't stop. She felt no need to jump rope, as she was already learning the Five Animal Frolics with Chen Zhong, which was plenty of exercise. Even without jumping rope, she wasn't going to get fat.
"Come on, come on..." Zhang Yindi came running over and grabbed Tang Yuxin's sleeve, leaving greasy handprints on it. Tang Yuxin looked at the oily prints on her clothes and felt the urge to push Zhang Yindi to the ground and beat her up.
Zhang Yindi hastily sheathed her talons and wiped her nose.
What else could Tang Yuxin say to that?
Realizing her mistake, Zhang Yindi quickly ran off, quickly forgetting her misdeeds and finding other kids to play with.
Tang Yuxin set the jar of rice bran down and fetched a tub of water. She took off her dirty clothes to wash them. Thankfully it was summer, and her clothes were made of lightweight fabric.
