TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS
Chapter 220: Mother Master Mu is Very Pathetic
Shao Qihai immediately coughed and choked in surprise.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm not going anywhere. I'll just be out for a while.” Afraid they would see her red and swollen eyes, Shao Qihai lowered his head and walked out.
'What should I do? How did Jingzhe take the binoculars? Can she know I'm crying?'
Thinking of Mu Jingzhe looking at her strangely, Shao Qihai felt like crying.
Fortunately, based on his observation, Mu Jingzhe seemed to be unaware that it was him, which made Shao Qihai sigh in relief.
Little Bei's film was screened for three days. Every day, the place was crowded with people. There were people from other villages coming, as well as people from their own villages. They watched it for three days in a row again and again.
They did not get tired of watching it for three days, because if they did, they could still reveal spoilers to people from other villages who had never seen it. Seeing those people's shocked expressions was the proudest moment for them.
Everyone was still immersed in the Little Bei movie, but after Mu Jingzhe discussed it with Little Bei and the kids, they decided what the next Little Bei movie would be like.
Little Bei is young. Previously, scripts had been sent to him, but there was rarely an offer for the lead role. It's normal. He was too young, and there were not many shows with the kids as the lead.
It wasn't that he had to play the lead role, but it concerned Little Bei's future, so they were very careful. So far, they have only chosen a supporting role in a film, but there are not many scenes with Little Bei in it. He can only record it over the weekend.
This time, Little Bei was still considered the female lead. However, the protagonist is actually another Best Actor and a new actor. Basically, they are all good at acting. Everything, from the director to the actors, script and production team, was all right. That was why they decided to accept the role after careful consideration.
During the process, Shao Qihai felt that he did not participate much, as he did not know much about these things. Even Shao Qiyang and Ji Buwang could give some advice, but he did not have the chance to speak.
Even though the script was finished, the official filming process still had to wait. This was even better for Little Bei. He can focus on his studies and record them later.
It's fine, actually. What made Mu Jingzhe worried was his relationship with Shao Qihai.
Thinking back, he realized Shao Qihai had been back for over two weeks. During this time, the two of them became a little more familiar than before.
Shao Qihai was also busy. The transport convoy appears to have been returned to its original state. He will also be out to handle work-related matters, but he knows that he was absent too often before, so his main focus is still on his family.
As he has promised, he has taken charge of the children's expenses, including the costs for children's enrichment classes and the books the children want. He had also purchased the items that the professor suggested Shao Nan to buy, as well as the musical instruments that Xiao Wu wanted. He never said a word of complaint.
He tried his best to get closer to Mu Jingzhe, but Mu Jingzhe was busy himself and whatever spare time he had was basically occupied by the children. Therefore, he did not have much of a chance to talk to Mu Jingzhe. When they talk, their conversation revolves around children.
After counting, Shao Qihai realized that he and Mu Jingzhe had been alone for more than three minutes just a few times. Forget about maintaining their relationship.
The original room was now occupied by Mu Jingzhe. The children said that it was not suitable for him to sleep in the same room as her, so he could only pack his things and sleep with the boys.
As long as the kids are around, he is busy and basically surrounded by homework and all sorts of work.
Every day, she would bring a basket of clothes to wash it, clean the house, cook, and do all the housework. He basically stayed busy the whole time.
The other children were like mud monkeys, but they were very careful. However, now that Shao Qihai had returned, they no longer paid much attention. These days, they play and jump whenever they want.
After all, Shao Qihai was there to wash clothes. He was already a beautiful sight in the village. Every day, when he went to wash clothes, he was ridiculed by others.
Zhao Lan had mocked him before, saying that he was the one who helped Shao Qihai wash his clothes in the past. Now, he had to wash his own clothes.
Shao Qihai did not care, and the five children also did not heed the villagers' gossip. On the other hand, after hearing the villagers gossip a few times, Mu Xue felt this was unfair to Shao Qihai.
When the five children finished school that day, Mu Xue hesitated for a moment before calling out their names to stop their steps.
“Shao Dong, I want to talk to you about something.”
"Please, Master Mu." Shao Dong's voice was polite, but his expression was very indifferent.
Mu Xue did not notice this change. Although he often heard news about children, they were young and he was a teacher, so he continued to treat them like children out of habit.
“I heard some gossip recently that your father often went to wash clothes and became a laughing stock in the village. No other man in the village was doing the laundry. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?” Mu Xue felt angry on behalf of Shao Qihai.
What Shao Qihai had done could not be made public, but he knew that he had done a good deed. Such a person deserves respect. In his opinion, ever since Shao Qihai came back, Mu Jingzhe should not be related to Ji Buwang and the others.
It was one thing for him not to know that he was still alive, but it was inappropriate for him to do this now. He felt that Mu Jingzhe had not done a good job from the start, so when he heard that Shao Qihai was washing clothes every day, Mu Xue felt even more angry.
Although Mu Xue did not mention Mu Jingzhe, her expression and words revealed her true thoughts. Instead of making this about Shao Qihai, she implied that it was Mu Jingzhe who was supposed to wash the clothes.
The children were not stupid, so they immediately knew what he meant.
Shao Dong's expression became even colder. “Why would anyone laugh at someone for washing clothes? We have washed our own clothes in the past. After all, he hadn't washed it in a long time. Compared to what Mama has washed, what she washes is nothing.”
Mu Xue stopped and belatedly detected Shao Dong's cold attitude. Just as she was about to say something, Shao Xi tilted her head and said curiously, “Master Mu, my mother is your cousin. He washed many of our clothes in the past. Why have you never felt heartache for her?”
Mu Xue was stunned. Has Mu Jingzhe washed it before? He didn't realize…
Shao Nan observed his expression and smiled as he struck Shao Xi. “Second Sister, don't you know? Master never does laundry. As a teacher, he couldn't have such a hard time. He was also afraid that washing clothes would hurt his hands. Didn't Grandma say that in the past, she would have Mommy wash her clothes? Grandma made a fuss for a long time before finally Mom no longer had to wash it for her. Since then, Master Mu's mother has washed it for him. ”
Mu Xue's face immediately flushed red. In the past, Old Madam Mu could not bear to see her suffer. Her clothes had indeed been given to Mu Jingzhe to be washed by Old Madam Mu, but not for that long. It's only for a year or two.
Then, when Li Zhaodi found out, she made a fuss. Then, he stopped. Why would Li Zhaodi even tell the children something like this?
Mu Xue wanted to say something else, but Little Bei asked curiously, “Washing clothes will hurt your hands? Why are our hands not broken? Doesn't Master Mu know how to wash clothes?”
"I'm ready." Mu Xue blushed and replied quickly.
"good. Otherwise, Master Mu's mother would be too pitiful. You're already very big, but he still has to wash your clothes. ” Little Bei sighed in relief like a little adult. “In addition, Master Mu, what if you get married? No one will wash your clothes again.”
