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

Chapter 257: A Surprising Language Talent

Now that they had clothes, they were envious of the wooden weapons that Shao Qihai had made for the children. They all want to have it. Shao Qihai had no choice but to continue fighting with the woodwork and shaving the wooden weapons for them.

However, because of this, Shao Qihai became closer to the villagers. He even became the idol of many children in the Great Eastern Village, who were now shouting and saying that when they were adults, he was a child, they wanted to become a warrior like Uncle Shao and be as impressive as him when they returned home.

Shao Qihai's skills and strength were what the children missed the most. In an instant, Shao Qihai became the destination that many children in the village pursued.

Shao Qihai suddenly became the target of the children's admiration and learning process. For some time, he had to pay more attention to his image and words when he went out to do something. However, she still has to wash her clothes and do homework if necessary.

After a while, the village could no longer gossip about Shao Qihai washing clothes.

“What's wrong with washing clothes? When you become a soldier, you wash your own clothes. You do your own things. Uncle Shao said this is good.”

The gossipy mothers were a little embarrassed, but the children went straight for the fathers.

“Daddy, why are you so lazy? You don't even wash your own clothes and smelly shoes for mom. You really aren't a good man.”

The mothers are very happy. Suddenly, many men went to the river, lowered their heads, and washed their clothes with dark expressions.

Of course, many of these children also started washing their own clothes, saying that they wanted to prepare for the future, when they joined the army.

This is a good influence in the long run. Some kids actually remember it, and then, they actually start this path. Educational resources in the village are limited. In addition, some children are not suitable for learning. Studying until SMP is considered very good. Many people just finish primary school.

Fortunately, at that moment, the requirements for the entrance of the army were not high. Once a child enters the army and is handed over to the country, that child will be truly well taught and reborn.

Even if they only left for two years, they would still be very different when they returned. It is no exaggeration to say that their fate has changed.

Among them were not only boys but also girls, as they now knew that they could also leave.

Although the army recruited fewer girls, they also had dreams. Then, the Great Eastern Village actually produced a female army.

However, this will all happen in the future. Seeing the many children in the village clamoring to join the army as they matured, Mu Jingzhe took this opportunity to encourage them to seriously study. This is because a higher education qualification will make things better for them in the future. These words also affect children to some extent.

There was very little development in the Great Eastern Village afterward. Many children had changed their fate, and this change began on an ordinary day, when they followed them excitedly and shouted, "One, two, one!"

Life stays like this for a week.

In June, Ji Buwang said that she wanted to go abroad and asked Xiao Wu if she wanted to go with him. This was a rare opportunity, and Xiao Wu naturally could not miss it. Therefore, Xiao Wu followed Ji Buwang abroad for the first time.

They went to the recital, and Xiao Wu also had the chance to see people with different skin and hair colors that Mu Jingzhe had mentioned before.

Unlike the one or two strangers he occasionally saw in the big city, this time he saw a stranger wherever he went. However, the color of their hair and eyes was different from what Xiao Wu had imagined.

“You don't know how much of a sensation he caused abroad with his ability. When we found the busker singing, he immediately picked up the song, and everyone started throwing money at him. He even earned quite a lot of money by doing so.

“This was even reported by a local television station. Then, they even came and invited him to a show. If I don't remember that we have to go back, I'll take him to the show to earn money.”

There are also many people abroad who crave the mysterious East. Needless to say, Ji Buwang's character and appearance were not bad wherever he went. Thanks to Xiao Wu's appearance and ability, he attracted people's currency and money.

Mu Jingzhe looked at Xiao Wu, who was smiling so hard that his teeth were nowhere to be seen. He could only give her a thumbs up and tease her. “Then you should have taken him there to get back the cost of this trip.”

Ji Buwang laughed. "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with Xiao Wu or sell him maliciously to the locals?"

"Ha ha." Mu Jingzhe burst into laughter. “If we don't even trust you too much, we won't let you take Xiao Wu away.”

This trip abroad had greatly benefited Xiao Wu. He slowly began to set his sights further and he also developed a strong curiosity about music in other languages. He even developed an interest in folk music.

Mu Jingzhe would naturally not stop him. It just so happened that Shao Qihai had a comrade-in-arms whose relatives wanted to entertain some guests. They say that their people are good at singing and dancing. Whenever they invite guests, they will form a circle at night to sing and dance.

Since Xiao Wu was interested, they finally left. Seeing that the costumes they were wearing were so good, Mu Jingzhe even bought a set for himself and the children to change into.

When Xiao Wu learned how they sang, they praised him again and said that he learned quickly. Before he left, Xiao Wu managed to pick up their musical instruments as well.

The five children went to Ocean City for Children's Day and even visited an amusement park.

After going to all these places, Xiao Wu's world was completely open. Mu Jingzhe felt like she had overcome the trauma of Shao Qiyun becoming her mother. He had come back like he used to, and perhaps he was even more cheerful than before.

Seeing Xiao Wu's already stable condition, Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief. He no longer focused on Xiao Wu and instead turned his attention to the other children and his work.

He had not stopped paying attention to Shao Dong and the others before, but people had limited energy. Since he paid close attention to Xiao Wu, he was unable to avoid ignoring the other children. However, the other four children were also worried about Xiao Wu, so nothing happened. Besides, they themselves are very busy.

Shao Xi was working on her travel notes. When he finished refining it during the summer holidays, it might even be published. There may be other books as well. After all, he had to continue traveling elsewhere.

Shao Xi's perspective had always been very unique and exuded childlike innocence. This was because he was just a child with many ideas that adults could not think of. However, at times, he was abnormally clear-minded. Behind his simple words were the remnants of an extremely cold reality.

He did not use much flowery language when he wrote, but his words were evident on paper. They were beautiful and warm, yet amidst that warmth and beauty was a glimmer of cruel and naive reality.

Children may not be able to feel it when reading its words, but when adults do, they will always smile before immersing themselves in deep thought.

In addition to travel records, Shao Xi has also sent manuscripts to newspapers and magazines. They regularly invited him to write articles for them, giving him a stable income instead.
