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

Chapter 122 - Fire

Shao Xi strongly supported Shao Dong's suggestion to buy a gift. “Sure, I have royalties. We can buy it with my royalties.”

"unneeded. Everything went well at the end of Uncle. I have money now. You can save your royalties. ” Shao Dong shook his head.

Shao Nan did not compete to pay him because he had not earned any money. Only then did he realize that he was the only one who did not earn any money among the five of them.

After Shao Dong finished his discussion with Shao Xi and Shao Nan, they went to the department store to buy gifts before going to the Ji Residence.

Mu Jingzhe hesitated because he did not know what to buy, but Shao Dong was done with his purchase.

“You're thinking of buying him a gift? You don't even need me to remind you, nor do you tell me about it. ” Mu Jingzhe knows that Shao Dong is used to being the head of the household when he is not at home. Therefore, he was only amazed and did not say anything more afterwards.

When the time came, they went to the Ji Residence as agreed.

The doors of the Ji Residence opened, and they were greeted warmly. “Quick login.”

“It's a little something from the kids. I hope you like it." Mu Jingzhe handed the gift over.

In that era, there were not all kinds of packaging like in the future, so it was easy to see what the reward was.

As Ji Buwang picked it up, he realized that it was a man's wallet. His heart was racing when he saw it. A wallet…

When a girl gives a gift to a man she likes, it is usually a purse, tie, watch, or something like that. Ji Buwang guessed that it was actually from Jingzhe and he just claimed that it was from the children because he was embarrassed.

That means Jingzhe too…

Ji Buwang's heart skipped a beat before he heard Shao Dong say, “Teacher Ji, I chose this color because I don't know what color you like. If you like any other color, you can exchange it.”

Ji Buwang: “Oh, ah, I like this color.”

So this wallet was actually bought by the children and not Mu Jingzhe?

Judging from Mu Jingzhe's proud expression as he looked at Shao Dong, it was possible.

Ji Buwang felt sad for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. No matter what, she and Jingzhe were getting closer.

“Quick, sit. There are several flavors of soda to choose from. There are also snacks and sweets. You can choose what you like.”

Ji Buwang had obviously made preparations beforehand and was very considerate.

The kids also felt their sincerity. “Thank you, Teacher Ji. Can we see the books first?”

“Sure, they're in the workspace. Please take a look."

Afraid they could not reach the bookshelves, he had moved the books that were on the higher shelves to the table.

The Ji Family's book collection was no joke. It was comparable to the regional library. There are many different types of books, and there are even many comic books.

“I read this when I was young. You can borrow it if you want.”

"Wow, thank you, Master Ji."

When looking at comic books, kids smile and can't wait to flip through them.

Mu Jingzhe looked at it, and his attention was drawn to the two lines of the book. The colors of these books are a little different, and they have an old-fashioned feel. However, it can be seen that they are well preserved.

"Are these ancient books?"

"Yes, it's all the ancient books we have here."

"I have to tell them not to touch this." Mu Jingzhe immediately warned the children.

“It's okay to see it.” Ji Buwang trusts the children.

“If you do not tell them, what if they accidentally borrow it and dirty or damage it?”

The children obeyed and did not touch the books. For them, other books have become a sea of happiness.

Since there was a limit to borrowing books from the regional library, they could only borrow two books at once. Most of the time, they would read books borrowed by their brother after finishing the two books they had borrowed. Ji Buwang was very generous and allowed them to borrow several books at once, and they were able to exchange them for new ones upon completion. This makes the kids very happy.

In fact, Ji Buwang could have loaned them out at once or even given them all the books. However, after thinking for a moment, she realized that if she did that, she would not have the chance to interact with Mu Jingzhe and the children in her home in the future. Therefore, he cleverly lent them some books and let them exchange them frequently. This way, he could build a relationship with them.

The children chose books happily, and even Mu Jingzhe looked through the collection enthusiastically. Seeing that, Ji Buwang looked at Uncle Li who was standing at the door arrogantly.

Uncle Li: “...”

A week ago, Ji Buwang had come back and told him that Mu Jingzhe and his five children were coming to his house.

After cleaning and shopping for two days, she finally learned that Mu Jingzhe and the children only came over the weekend.

Uncle Li wished he could wake Ji Buwang up so he would stop doing all this.

But what can he do? In the end, he could only accept it.

After making so many mistakes, he still had cheeks that looked so overbearing?

Uncle Li did not look at him, but Ji Buwang did not let go. “Uncle Li, why don't you talk? Look, I told you that reading a book is useful. It gives you something to talk about with others.”

The last time Ji Buwang asked parents about raising a child, he had a setback. But he hasn't given up. Instead of asking ordinary people, he now turned to learning.

She has actually found books on how to raise children and how to be close to them. This is the result of his studies.

After hearing this, Uncle Li felt increasingly unwilling to speak.

He could not understand why Young Master was so determined to become a stepfather.

It's hard being a stepmother, and it's also hard being a stepfather. Mu Jingzhe was already a stepmother, but Young Master insisted on becoming a stepfather.

How will stepmom and stepdad look together?

The Old Master did not know this for now. It was time to slowly reveal some information to him and tell him.

Mu Jingzhe turned around and saw Uncle Li's complicated and frustrated expression.

Uh... This butler, Uncle Lee, had such a rich facial expression. It was as if he could see a new expression on his face every time he looked at her.

However, he might not be too infatuated with those who appeared like that.

Mu Jingzhe urged the children to hurry up and vote. Then, he quickly said goodbye to them. He did not stay to eat as Ji Buwang invited him to.

Ji Buwang can only wait for next weekend.

However, next weekend, when Shao Dong, Shao Xi, and Shao Nan came, Mu Jingzhe did not come.

Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei went to Ocean City to film.

The final part of the film was supposed to be filmed in Ocean City. Director Lu had told them before and went there to prepare for the shoot.

As the entire film crew was waiting, Mu Jingzhe took a week off from school on behalf of Little Bei and prepared to return after filming. Fortunately, Little Bei was a quick learner.

Mu Jingzhe had visited Ocean City several times in the modern era. He even lived there for two years. However, he had never been to Ocean City in this era in this novel world.

Ocean City was a big city, so Little Bei was very happy to be able to go there. The boys were also looking forward to going there, but considering Little Bei would be busy filming, Mu Jingzhe did not take them. They agreed to go there next time if they had the chance.

Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei boarded the train to Ocean City. Shao Qiyang had bought them sleeping tickets through his connections. They took the train during the day and slept all night before arriving the next day.

"This way."

Director Lu had sent someone to pick them up and take them to the set.

It was only then that Mu Jingzhe learned that Tian Xiaoxiao was from Ocean City. Mother Tian had helped out a lot this time. Even the guesthouse had been arranged by him, and he managed to get a cheaper price for them.

The location of the guesthouse was not bad. It was also quite clean and new. Mother Tian had put in a lot of effort this time.

Because he was so sincere, Director Lu and the crew changed their attitude towards him. They specifically spoke to Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei, hoping they could improve their relationship, saying that harmony brings wealth.

“I really have to thank them for going through all those problems.” Mu Jingzhe understood this logic, so he replied with a smile.

On the same day, Little Bei entered the set. Although she was exhausted from the journey, she still became a character very quickly after filming began. Director Lu was very satisfied.

Considering Little Bei was also tired, they did not work overtime that day and even ate together. Mother Tian also came. She shook hands with Mu Jingzhe to reconcile with him and asked him to let her know if he was dissatisfied with the food and accommodation, as he was familiar with the homestead boss.

When they returned to their rooms, Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei were both tired.

The room in the guesthouse was pretty clean. By the time Mu Jingzhe washed his face and came out, Little Bei was already asleep even before he drank cold water on the bed.

"You must be tired." Mu Jingzhe knew that he was tired and covered him with a blanket.

After drinking a cup of water, Mu Jingzhe quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Little Bei woke up with a choke. When he woke up, he saw that the bedside lamp was turned on. More striking than the light is the burning window curtain. Fire is shooting everywhere.

The room is on fire!
