TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS
Chapter 136 - Allergies?
Even though Mu Jingzhe had never put up cement and did not know how to do it, he was still happy to improve the children's school environment.
Their school grounds were very dirty, and some parts were bumpy and uneven. There is still dust after cleaning every day, especially when the wind is strong. It is even harder to walk when it rains. It would be much better if the place was cemented.
Mu Jingzhe had decided to work hard, but when Shao Dong heard that he was planning to do the job himself, he frowned. “It doesn't have to be so hard. If not, you can attend your work or even go to town for your business, Ma'am. We will go alone.”
“It won't work. It's similar to a parent-teacher meeting. Parents cannot be absent. You are still a child and cannot do very hard work. Don't worry, leave it to me. I will be careful and will not make myself tired.”
The weekend had not yet arrived, but Li Hua did not give up. He made two more visits with the matchmaker, but both times, Mu Jingzhe refused.
When the villagers found out that Li Hua was going to propose to the wedding, many people noticed, waiting to see what the outcome would be. Upon seeing that it didn't work out, those closer to her comforted her a little, saying that she didn't need to be too sad because Mu Jingzhe was now different from before.
There were others laughing at him, too. For example, a girl who used to like Li Hua but was rejected by him because she thought he was too good for her.
Their consolation and ridicule were a little unbearable for the proud Li Hua. He was initially convinced about it, but he had failed and people were laughing at him now. His mood became more irritable.
She was increasingly determined to get Mu Jingzhe to marry her, no matter what. She felt that despite this, Mu Jingzhe had married someone before. This will be her second marriage, but it will be her first. Furthermore, he felt that he was quite qualified.
He's a little stubborn. After learning about the school activities, she happens to find out that her eldest son is also in school, so she offers to go to her older brother's place. She wanted to perform well and make Mu Jingzhe change his mind.
In the end, during the weekend, after the parents had gathered to work, the one who worked the most was Mu Jingzhe.
Schools will still hire people to put up cement, but they don't have that kind of money. Therefore, they invite parents to help. The old man just went to pick up some stones that were not too big or small to lay the foundation. They also go to the river to transport the sand back.
The old woman will take the stone. As for the old man, some brought the stone back, some were in charge of transporting the sand.
Li Hua wanted to work with Mu Jingzhe and let him pick up the stone while he carried it. However, Mu Jingzhe did not want to get into too much contact with her because she had rejected him. In addition, he felt that because he represented four children, he had to do more work.
So, he picked up the stone for a while, and seeing that the others were having trouble, he then took on the task of transporting the stone.
A basket full of stones was being brought to school by him. Li Hua, who wanted to show his manhood, did not want to be left behind by Mu Jingzhe and insisted on following him. After two or three trips, he gave up with a forehead full of sweat.
The old man praised Mu Jingzhe very much.
As a teacher, Mu Xue mainly did logistical work for this activity. He would boil the water so that after the water cooled down, working parents could have cold water and tea when they wanted to rest. Seeing Mu Jingzhe, who was so full of energy, being praised by teachers and parents, she pursed her lips as she thought about her relationship with Tang Moling during this period of time.
Li Hua had been licking Mu Jingzhe all this time. Mu Xue saw it too. He even overheard the conversation Li Hua and her mother had in the afternoon.
Seeing Li Hua not succeeding, his mother advised him to give up and stop chasing after Mu Jingzhe. However, Li Hua was unwilling to give up and said that she would not give up on Mu Jingzhe no matter what.
On the way back, Mu Xue thought to herself, 'That's right. Why is Mu Jingzhe not married?'
If she were to get married, she and Tang Moling might stop arguing. Tang Moling would probably give up completely, right?
In the afternoon, Mu Jingzhe and the others continued to work, and the teachers at the school became busy.
Since parents come to work, they should at least treat them to a meal, right? Therefore, the school teacher bought a sheep and ate together at night to thank the parents. The sheep was kept by one of its mothers, so the price was not expensive.
“There's no sesame in this mutton, right? If you want to add Sesame, you should scoop it up first. My cousin, Mu Jingzhe, sesame allergy.”
Li Hua paused for a moment while drinking and sharpened his ears.
Teacher says, “Really? Is there such a thing as a sesame allergy? I don't think I'll add anything.”
"good. Otherwise, I would have to be his savior. ” Mu Xue smile.
Mu Jingzhe and the other parents were busy until five o'clock before they were done with their work.
“Everything, wash your hands and rest first. The food is almost ready. You can also go home and have students eat together. This is also an undercover parent-teacher meeting.”
Everyone went to get the students, and Mu Jingzhe returned home. However, he did not return to pick up the children, as they had followed Shao Qiyang to the county town. They still have to go to art school on Sundays and they can't skip class for no reason.
If they come back, they will definitely come looking for him. If they did not come looking for him, it meant that they had not returned and had to wait for Shao Qiyang to come home from work and bring them back.
Mu Jingzhe's main goal was to clean up and change into new clothes. His clothes got very dirty because of all that manual work.
The parents who stayed behind moved the student tables and chairs to be used as dining tables. When they finished, the dinner started very quickly.
There were two large porcelain basins, a pot of rice, and a pot of mutton on each table.
Goat meat has been boiled all afternoon, so the boiled meat is very soft and flavorful. After serving, sprinkled mint leaves and chili on it. It was simple, and not too many seasonings were added, but it tasted amazing.
This is farmhouse food, the simplest yet most delicious kind. Mu Jingzhe's eyes sparkled after he ate a mouthful. He felt a little sorry that the children had not returned, or they could eat together.
However, he also could not bring home some for them. He could only eat more by himself.
Mu Jingzhe ate while hoping the children would come back and eat this delicacy. However, by the time he finished eating, Little Bei and the others had yet to return.
On the other hand, Tang Moling suddenly arrived in the middle of a meal. When he entered the school and saw the lively scene, he was stunned. Then, everyone enthusiastically encouraged her to sit beside Mu Xue. "Eat. Let's eat together."
Tang Moling couldn't resist their good manners, so he picked up his chopsticks. He had just arrived at the Mu Residence when Old Madam Mu told him that Mu Xue was at school and asked him to leave. He thought something had come up. Also, he wanted to have a good talk with Mu Xue.
She did not expect Old Madam Mu would ask her to come because she knew that the school was slaughtering sheep today and wanted her to get good food for free.
Although Tang Moling and Mu Xue were obviously still fighting, in front of outsiders, they treated each other with respect. Others do not realize something is wrong and they even tease them.
Tang Moling listened to everyone's mockery and was surprised to see Mu Jingzhe, who was enjoying his meal not far away.
Mu Jingzhe did not pay much attention to Tang Moling. After all, Tang Moling should be there to hand out dog food[1] in front of Mu Xue. Compared to eating dog food, Mu Jingzhe was more interested in eating mutton.
