TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 105: Turning Garbage Into Treasures

Shao Xi thought about many things and snuggled up. Complicated thoughts.

Mu Jingzhe did not know that Shao Xi thought too much. He just thought that Shao Xi was scared.

It was already sunset when they returned home.

Arriving at home, he saw a group of children playing the game 'Jump Over the Goat[1]'.

One by one, they lined up to jump. After jumping, they would march into goats. Little Bei was among them.

When she saw her children, she felt her heart calm. But when he saw them jump, he could not help but raise his eyebrows.

He had played this game before when he was young. It was called "Vaulting" in the Olympic Gymnastics Program. It has been popular for a long time and is known throughout the country. Almost all children in this country are experts at it.

However, looking at it now, Mu Jingzhe thought it was extremely dangerous.

Seeing Little Bei's almost turn to jump, Mu Jingzhe quickly called out, "Little Bei!"

"Mom, why are you coming home so late?" Little Bei looked at Mu Jingzhe and did not care anymore about his play.

The return of Mu Jingzhe and Shao Xi made Shao Dong and the others sigh in relief. Shao Dong was sensitive to this abnormal atmosphere. Although Mu Jingzhe did not want to make them worry and did not say much, he still asked Shao Xi personally what happened.

Shao Xi did not hide anything from Shao Dong and told him everything that happened on this trip.

Shao Dong did not expect that they would face so many incidents when he should have only participated in a competition.

However, he was not too surprised. This was because the five brothers had faced all sorts of difficulties since they were born.

They had gotten used to it, but now, they had a mother, and they implicated her and caused her to suffer as well.

“I'm glad nothing happened—”

"It's too late if something happens." Shao Xi did not dare to tell Mu Jingzhe about this, but she could not help but tell her elder brother, whom she had trusted ever since she was young, what was on her mind. “My brother, do you think it's because we implicated Mom that she had to suffer like this?”

“Before this, I always wanted parents who treated us well. Now, I'm a little scared.”.

Shao Dong also felt a prolonged fear when he heard that, but he still comforted Shao Xi. “Don't think too much about it. We will try our best to be careful in the future and avoid any danger. ”

Speaking of that, it was very contradictory. In the past, they were touched by how well Mu Jingzhe treated them. However, now, they suddenly wished that Mu Jingzhe had not treated them well.

At least not so good that he would risk his life to save them.

This was because Shao Dong and Shao Xi were thinking the same thing. If something really happened to Mu Jingzhe as he tried to save them, it was…

“Let's protect Mom more in the future.” Shao Dong thought for a moment. "I'll find an opportunity to talk to Mom too."

“Mm.”

Shao Dong wanted to look for an opportunity to talk to Mu Jingzhe, but he could not find a chance before nightfall.

Too many people had come to look for Mu Jingzhe, and there were many things to do to stay busy. This guy came to find her, that guy came to look for her, but...why is Uncle Tang there too?

Although many villagers had come to look for Mu Jingzhe, Tang Moling's presence was still sticking out like a sore thumb.

The five children looked at Tang Moling curiously. Tang Moling felt uncomfortable to begin with because of his rash decision to come. After thinking back to when she was being held by Mu Jingzhe in the Shao Family courtyard, she felt even more uncomfortable to look at.

He almost turned around and left, but he held back and yelled at the five children, “What do you see? I'm here about an important issue. ”

Tang Moling really had a purpose to come. Previously, he had accidentally told Mu Jingzhe about his work, and he had suggested a solution to him that proved to be very effective. From then on, whenever he encountered trouble or was unable to make a decision, he couldn't help but come to ask Mu Jingzhe for his opinion.

Mu Jingzhe had not been around for the past two days, and he was not used to it. Therefore after hearing that he was back, he could not resist the urge to come.

Although he was tempted, Mu Jingzhe held back.

Tang Moling felt relieved after receiving the answer. He couldn't help but chat more with Mu Jingzhe, and his heart relaxed.

He felt happy talking to Mu Jingzhe. He understands everything he says. It felt like they were from the same world.

Before he knew it, Tang Moling leaned towards Mu Jingzhe. He wanted to continue, but Mu Jingzhe ruthlessly chased him away.

“I have to cook. Day start dark.”

Tang Moling: "See you later then ..."

After dinner, Shao Dong finally had a chance to have a private chat with Mu Jingzhe and told him that he already knew what had happened. He then said that safety was the most important thing and asked Mu Jingzhe to protect himself.

“Why are you saying the same thing with Little Xi? Don't worry, I am strong enough to protect myself, ” Mu Jingzhe said as he patted his chest.

Shao Dong: “Bu, being strong does not mean you are invincible. Don't be careless.”

"Okay, okay, I get it." Mu Jingzhe agreed and then asked, "Little Dong, how is your recycling business?"

Shao Dong's eyes twinkled. "Not bad. My uncle and I learned of the situation in the last two days. ”

Shao Dong himself was a child. Although he was smart, it was uncomfortable for him to do many things. When others see that they are dealing with a child, he or she is often at a disadvantage.

Mu Jingzhe was also busy and did not have time to follow Shao Dong. Her younger brother, Mu Han, had been dragged away just like that and started hanging out with Shao Dong.

Ever since Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng started selling steamed buns, Mu Jingzhe actually wanted to arrange for his younger brother, Mu Han. He wanted her to continue studying, but Mu Han didn't want to because she wasn't suitable for studying.

Since that was the case, he told her to learn some skills, but she had not managed to find a suitable opportunity, so Mu Han first went to help Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng.

Shao Dong needed labor, so Mu Jingzhe thought of Mu Han and asked him to help without hesitation.

There would be meat to eat if he followed the big boss. Although it might be a little difficult in the early stages, it wouldn't be bad for Mu Han. There will be plenty of opportunities for him to learn in the future.

Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng did not mind. Since the children already called them Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle, they had to help.

Mu Han initially thought that Shao Dong, who was still a child, was incapable of doing much. When he saw Mu Jingzhe giving him money for this venture, he simply found it ridiculous. However, after two days of touring with Shao Dong, that feeling was replaced with admiration.

The two of them, who were originally strangers, quickly became familiar with each other. Mu Han started to have a better opinion of Shao Dong and kept saying that Shao Dong was smart. Now, he did not hesitate to work for Shao Dong.

When Shao Dong heard Mu Han praise him, it was similar to the way Mu Jingzhe praised him earlier. He also felt close to his uncle.

“Bu, can Uncle always help me in the future? He is also ready.”

"Of course." Mu Jingzhe nodded in agreement as he listened to Shao Dong talk about his experiences over the past few days, as well as his plans.

Now that the economy in the country is growing rapidly, the life of every person has improved greatly. The same goes for the county.

Although the development of the county town had not been clearly seen, Shao Dong had sensed it clearly the last time he went to the city.

As city dwellers who enjoy all sorts of conveniences, they will throw things away in homes that are old or useless. To them, this was trash, but many things could actually be exchanged for money. Although those items may look cheap, they are worth quite a lot of money when collected.

In addition, there are many things that are not just garbage and just need to be repaired. Some things may not even need to be fixed. When sold to people in need, they can turn into money.

Just like that, Shao Dong formulated a plan to turn trash into treasure.
