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

Chapter 272: Solutions to End Child Conflict

Shao Qihai was not in the room. He had stuck a note on the door, saying that he would go first to busying himself with the convoy.

When Mu Jingzhe went down with the note, he discovered that a quarrel had occurred in the kitchen. Shao Xi and Shao Nan glared at each other. If Shao Dong did not stop them, they would probably start fighting.

He just went out for a second. Why are they arguing?

But they were fighting because they chose bread. There are seven styles but five of them. Therefore, without hesitation, they asked Xiao Wu and Little Bei to take two more loaves of bread. Coincidentally, Little Bei liked the little flowers and the little rabbits, while Xiao Wu liked the small fish and the small circles.

After the two of them finished choosing, all that was left was a small kitten, a small pig, and a small hedgehog.. Surprisingly, Shao Dong liked kittens. There are people in the village who keep cats. Shao Dong would usually feed them when he saw them. Although Shao Dong was not very compatible with little kittens, he liked them very much. Everybody knows that.

Previously, Mu Jingzhe had suggested keeping it at home. There are many domesticated cats in the modern era. If they kept it at home, Shao Dong would not have to covet someone else's cat.

However, in the end, they did not keep it because the cats of that era were not like pet cats. They are cats that actually catch rats. Normally, they would not let anyone approach them, not even the owner. They will scratch at will, and there are cat owners who have been scratched before.

When Mu Jingzhe heard that, he immediately rejected the idea of keeping a cat and asked Shao Dong to hold it for longer. They can talk about it when a pet cat becomes something and rabies injections are widely available.

Since there was no rabies vaccine in this era, people would worry to death if scratched by a cat. At that time, cats will even catch mice to eat them, which makes them even more dangerous.

On the other hand, Shao Dong was very easy to talk to. She said that she also had no intention of keeping a cat, so she listened to Mu Jingzhe. Since the cat raising plan had failed, Mu Jingzhe wanted to replace it with another one. Therefore, he made this kitten for Shao Dong. Everyone knew that the kitten was undoubtedly Shao Dong's.

The cute little cat head made Shao Dong feel a little embarrassed, but his movements were not slow. In the end, only a hedgehog and a small pig remained.

In the past, Shao Xi liked hedgehogs the most, so Shao Nan chose the little pig. However, Shao Xi refused. "I want a pig today."

"Then I'll take the porcupine." Shao Nan compromised. "Second Brother, you can have that little pig."

Looking outside, Shao Nan added, “Second Sister, if Mom hears this, she will worry again. Don't let there be a conflict.”

“You're the only one that makes sense, right? Do I need you to teach me? Why do you pretend to obey? You're the worst of us. Aren't you just pretending to be obedient and reasonable to attract the attention of Mom..”

It was at that moment that Mu Jingzhe returned. The moment he returned, both Shao Nan and Shao Xi immediately kept quiet and stopped bickering. Although the two of them had dark faces, they were very happy and they liked the steamed bread that Mu Jingzhe had specially made for them as they ate it.

Shao Xi and Shao Nan ended up not getting angry anymore and now looked happier. However, this conflict finally emerged. None of them looked at each other or spoke.

In the past, the five brothers did not fight too often. Now that the two of them were suddenly in a conflict, the atmosphere was different.

By noon, the conflict between the two of them increased. Eventually, they get into a serious altercation and announce that they will never talk to each other again.

Mu Jingzhe: "..."

At this point, he suddenly recalled something. It seemed like he had never dealt with such a matter before.

It is said that as long as one is not an only child and is in a family with two or more children, they will always face all sorts of problems. Children will fight in different ways, and adults will have to solve problems in different ways. This will easily lead to accusations of bias or something similar.

Although Mu Jingzhe had been told that he was not entirely fair to the five of them before, and at that moment it was, things were not like this anymore.

The five brothers always had a good relationship. Xiao Wu was no match for them at first, but such a huge conflict never appeared. In addition to the fact that children are intelligent and unlike other children, they also need to curl up together in order to stay warm in order to survive.

But now, the situation had changed, leading to a conflict like this. This is considered normal, right? Compared to other families, the frequency of occurrence is quite low.

Mu Jingzhe comforted himself in this way, his mind frantically trying to think of a solution. After thinking for a moment, he called the children and asked their conflict. He conferred with them and told them not to quarrel. In the end, he called Shao Nan and Shao Xi alone and said something very reasonable.

This was what Mu Jingzhe had learned from many people. It was seen on television and in novels and it was quite effective. The two children finally made up after holding hands.

However, at night, Mu Jingzhe turned out to be too naive. They just reconciled on his account. They understand the logic behind it but are still throwing tantrums.

After a day, the conflict deepened at night. In fact, it got worse. Harsh words like 'I never want to see you' are spoken. Judging from the way they glared at each other, if Shao Dong had not stopped them, they would have already started fighting.

No, they've started fighting. Shao Dong even got hit on the head while trying to stop the fight.

After hitting Shao Dong, Shao Xi and Shao Nan were shocked. They quickly apologized to Shao Dong, causing Mu Jingzhe's expression to darken.

"Are you okay?" Mu Jingzhe quickly looked at Shao Dong.

"I'm fine." Shao Dong shook his head.

Mu Jingzhe felt that he had to overcome the root of his problem. He called Shao Xi and Shao Nan and sighed as he looked at the two of them, who refused to look at each other.

“It looks like the usual method can no longer make you reconcile. If I don't think of anything soon, you will fight. Everyone says that fights should not take place overnight. If yes, it will ruin your relationship. Now that the sky is starting to darken, I can only use some special methods. ”

Shao Xi snorted. “No need, Mom. You don't have to worry. I'm fine losing him as a brother.”

“That's right, Mother. You don't have to worry about us. Its alright. I won't be calculative.” Although she was the younger one, Shao Nan sounded like her brother. However, this made Shao Xi uneasy again. He wondered if Shao Nan had intentionally done this to provoke him.

This made Shao Xi explode. “You won't be calculative? How do you not be calculative? If not, why would I want to hit you? Stop pretending to be a good person!”

"Good." Mu Jingzhe could not take it anymore. He looked at the two intelligent children and racked his brain to find a solution. When he looked down at their feet, an idea suddenly popped into his mind. "understand. Understood."

“I will not clasp his hand childishly and make peace with him,” Shao Xi immediately replied.

“I don't need you to hold hands with each other. You can hold each other's feet. ” Mu Jingzhe waved his hand. "You should wash your feet first."

Shao Xi and Shao Nan were confused when they were suddenly asked to wash their feet.

Mu Jingzhe carried the basin and poured hot water for them. “Shao Xi, Shao Nan, bring a chair to wash your feet.”

“Bu, I don't want to shower with him. I want to shower with my sister. ” Shao Xi moved the chair and, while refusing, pulled Xiao Wu closer. "Let Xiao Wu shower with her."

"I don't want to shower with her either." Shao Nan also refused. "Other people are fine."

Because boiling water is hard to come by, they usually wash their feet in pairs. In the past, it didn't matter. They always wash their feet and play with water, but not today.

Shao Xi and Shao Nan were unwilling, but Mu Jingzhe insisted. “No, you must wash your feet together tonight. You should also wash each other's feet.”
