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

Chapter 182: Preparing for a Birthday Gift

Before school started, Mu Jingzhe finished making small dresses and tuxedos. The night before school started, Little Bei and Xiao Wu tried it and then couldn't bear to take it off.

“They're beautiful. Mom, we really like them.”

"Good."

Shao Dong, Shao Xi, and Shao Nan looked at them with envy in their eyes. Xiao Wu's small coat and bow tie were excellent.

They all wanted the same clothes, but they were embarrassed to say it because it seemed like they would not be attending the awards ceremony.

They did not say anything, but Mu Jingzhe was not blind. He could see that they liked the clothes. "Do you like it? If you do, I'll make it for you too. Come on, Shao Dong, let's measure your size again.”

Shao Dong's feet moved, but he said, "No need, right?"

“Quick here. I'll speed it up and finish it before the awards ceremony. When the time comes, we will go together to participate in the most important moment in the lives of Little Bei and Xiao Wu and witness their glory.”

Shao Dong immediately stood obediently in front of Mu Jingzhe.

The next day was March 1, the first day of school. The four children insisted on skipping one class and forcibly skipping another. When the school reopened, Shao Dong and Shao Xi immediately jumped to fifth grade, while Little Bei and Shao Nan immediately jumped to fourth grade.

Xiao Wu was still not old enough to enroll in the school, but he had already left to sit in the second grade.

After all, he had basically already studied the first grade curriculum.

Xiao Wu was fun, so everyone in the village liked him, including the teachers. They allowed him to sit in class just because he wanted to.

When the school reopened, the children became the most interesting existence again. However, Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xi next door were in trouble. This was because Shao Dong and his brothers had missed one class and were now in the same class as them.

Regardless of whether Dong, Xi, Nan, or Bei were in the same class as them, Fu, Lu, and Shou's grades were inferior to theirs. The teacher told them to learn from their younger cousins and even asked why there was such a big difference between them when they were all from the Shao Family.

No matter the fact that their appearance is very different, their brains are also separate.

Fu, Lu, Shou, and Xi, who were completely uninterested in learning, were basically at the very last. Zhao Lan and their parents did not care much either. Even now, they still did not know how to sum, subtract, multiply, and divide. When the math teacher saw the results as he handed out the exam papers on the first day of school and commented on them, he inevitably asked Shao Fu and Shao Lu if their heads contained any tofu.

Then they became famous. After class ended, their classmates all called them 'know brains'.

In the past, Fu, Lu, and Shou never thought that there was anything wrong with their poor grades. However, when he saw Shao Dong, Shao Xi, and the others surrounded by praise and noticed how good their clothes were and how clean they looked, they looked at themselves…

Slowly, Fu, Lu, and Shou developed the concepts of beauty and ugliness and felt ashamed, sad, and inferior. They went home crying and asked Eldest Brother Shao and Eldest Brother-in-law Shao why they were born like this, why they were not handsome, and why their brains were not intelligent.

Those three questions, quickly asked one after another, left Eldest Brother Shao and Zhao Lan speechless. They don't want things like this either.

They cannot answer the questions of Fu, Lu, Shou, and X, but they know that their children are being bullied. They went to school and made a fuss, even scolding the math teacher.

They wanted to avenge their children, but in the end, they became an even bigger joke. Thanks to the commotion they made at the school, everyone in the village now knew that Fu, Lu, and Shou were called 'know brains'.

When Mu Jingzhe heard that, he burst into laughter. “Ha ha, this is too funny. This math teacher is very talented. Why doesn't he teach Chinese?”

Shao Qiyang also could not help but laugh when he heard it. She had finally gathered the courage to confess her feelings, but Mu Jingzhe had been very busy lately. He was also busy, so a lot of things were protracted until now.

Still, it won't drag on anymore. It will be Jingzhe's birthday in a few days. He would definitely take advantage of the opportunity to express his feelings back then.

As for Shao Qiyang's birthday, he also specially made longevity noodles for her. He has even killed chickens and celebrated his birthday with him and the children.

In this day and age, very few people celebrate their birthday. Eating eggs on someone's birthday is considered very good. Like Shao Qihai, Shao Qiyang never celebrated his birthday or ate eggs.

Zhao Lan had never once remembered their birthdays, only the birthdays of Eldest Brother Shao and Shao Qiyun. Although Shao Qiyang did not say it out loud, he was actually envious of his older brother and younger sister.

Because of Mu Jingzhe, for the first time in his life, he was able to celebrate his birthday.

Now that it was his birthday, he would also prepare a gift attentively.

Then, Shao Qiyang realized that the children had the same thoughts as him. The children had started to secretly prepare gifts. They were afraid that they would buy an overpriced gift and even secretly hold a meeting. Shao Qiyang unintentionally heard them and hurriedly eavesdropped, afraid that he would also buy an overpriced gift.

"I want to give a song to my mother." This was Xiao Wu's idea.

“I bought a watch for Mom. His watch is scratched. It doesn't look good.” This is Shao Xi.

“I'll buy him one. When I found out that you bought it, I bought him a silver bracelet instead. We have agreed to let Mommy wear gold and silver. I will give Mommy a silver bracelet for now and turn it into a gold bracelet in the future. ” This is Shao Dong.

“Then we will buy it together when the time comes,” Shao Xi immediately added.

“I most want to give Mommy a car, but I don't have enough money, so I can just pick the next best option and buy Mommy a fragrant perfume.” This is Little Bei.

“My gift is different from yours, man. I bought a stove, an air blower, and ordered some coal. From now on, Mommy's eyes won't sting because of the smoke anymore. He also did not need to choke while blowing the torch, Uncle did not need to go up the mountain to cut firewood, and we don't need to fight with intelligence and courage with Mom to go up the mountain to pick up pine cones and dry firewood.”

Shao Nan was very particular about practicality, so she bought a practical gift.

Shao Dong nodded. "Little Nan, that's great." They had helped Mu Jingzhe burn firewood and blow the torch before, so they knew how difficult it was for him.

Sometimes, when it rains and he's too busy to collect firewood, even if he blows until his cheeks are flushed and sore, it doesn't necessarily work. He might even choke on the thick smoke and cough incessantly as tears streamed down his face.

The children's discussion ended and turned into a discussion about blowing torches.

Shao Qiyang left quietly. He suddenly felt that the gifts he thought of were much inferior to those of children. Little Nan had thought of buying stoves, coal, and air blowers, and Little Bei even dared to think of buying a car. Unfortunately, they are not just daydreaming. They may actually buy this in the near future.

In order not to get the same reward as them, Shao Qiyang tried hard before finally deciding to give her a necklace.

He chose the silver necklace after thinking about it for a long time. In the end, he met Ji Buwang after buying it. Ji Buwang was also there to buy things, but he did not see them.

Shao Qiyang wanted to pretend not to see him and leave, but he then heard the person beside Ji Buwang asking him something.

“Buwang, are you really going to learn how to make your own cookies? You can leave it in the kitchen or order it.”

“No, better do it personally. There's still time. I'll learn.”

Shao Qiyang frowned upon hearing that. Thinking Ji Buwang wants to make his own cake. If she personally prepared the cake, Jingzhe would definitely be touched.

Shao Qiyang, who originally planned to express her feelings on her birthday, was a little anxious. What if Ji Buwang also interfered that day? What if he doesn't get the chance in the end? What if Jingzhe reciprocated Ji Buwang's feelings earlier?
