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

Chapter 338: Shao Xi's New Works: “No Name”

When the villagers heard about the car, they all came to see it. When Old Madam Mu heard that, she said that it must be fake. In the end, he couldn't help but come to take a look and was caught off guard by Li Zhaodi.

“Eat mooncakes, everything.” Li Zhaodi felt proud and excited as she generously handed the mooncakes to them.

Furious after seeing the car, Old Madam Mu was not wanting to eat. "No."

“Why don't you want to? Ma'am, you're not happy Jingzhe has a car, are you?” He glanced at Mu Xue beside him. "Is it because Xiao Xue is not the one who obtained such a gift?"

Li Zhaodi pretended to sigh, but since her acting skills were not good enough, she looked extremely fake. "That's right. It's normal for you to be unhappy. If Xiao Xue had not made a fuss earlier and got married, she would have been the one to bring the car.”

“Xiao Xue we have a car. He already has it!” Old Madam Mu replied angrily.

"Certainly? Is that a gift from her kids?” Li Zhaodi grunted. “Before, you looked down on my Jingzhe deeply and thought of Mu Xue's world. Now, take another look. Mu Xue could not compare to Jingzhe in any aspect.”

“How is he lower? You're chatty, I don't want to bother wasting my breath for you! ” Old Madam Mu has no idea why it all ended like this.

He was going to leave with Mu Xue, but Li Zhaodi did not let them go. “Bu, how is Xiao Xue's marriage prospects? Has anyone come to propose to her? Are you still waiting for the rich? If you ask me, I think he should be satisfied. If she continues to be picky, she will become a spinster.”

Mu Xue was already 25 years old. Even in modern times, an unmarried woman at this age is called a remnant girl, let alone in that era.

Old Madam Mu and Mu Xue had faced a lot of gossip recently. Mu Xue's face turned pale, and Old Madam Mu was furious. “You don't have to worry about Xiao Xue's wedding prospects. No matter what, she would marry a better man than Mu Jingzhe!”

"Then I'll wait for the wedding banquet."

As soon as Mu Jingzhe stopped paying attention, Li Zhaodi floated in the sky and showed her true color as she pleased. When Mu Jingzhe entered, Li Zhaodi danced around and told him about the confrontation that had just happened.

Mu Jingzhe: "Mom, why are you provoking them?"

That infuriating nature was etched deep into his mother's bones. Since he did not have the chance to use it for a long time, he could not suppress it anymore.

“Who asked them to treat us like that back then? I'm happy today and I want revenge. They said so much before, but now, the picky girl turned into a spinster. Ha ha - ha…"

“Bu, don't call her a spinster. Mu Xue is still very young!”

"Young? She is 25 years old.” Li Zhaodi was about to say something when she saw Shao Dong enter. A smile immediately appeared on his face.

“Aiyo, my oldest grandson is here. Let me hug you right. That's my oldest grandson!”

Li Zhaodi pounced and refused to release Shao Dong. No matter how he looked at her, he was pleasing to the eye. As long as he treated his daughter well and was willing to spend money on her, he would be a good grandson.

Now, Li Zhaodi could actually call them 'honey'. Shao Dong's face flushed red due to Li Zhaodi's exaggerated way of calling him 'honey'.

The five children had bought him a car, so Mu Jingzhe used 100% of his energy and focused on getting the SIM. Fortunately, he knew how to drive, so after more than a month of hard work, he finally got a SIM.

After obtaining his license, Mu Jingzhe escorted the children around happily. "I can take you kids wherever you want to go in the future."

Shao Dong had long since heard Little Bei say that Mommy looks dashing while he is driving. From this moment on, Shao Dong could finally admire himself.

Mu Jingzhe drove the children around in a car and returned home after admiring the autumn scenery. After dinner, Shao Xi said that he wanted to be alone with Mu Jingzhe for two hours because there was some business to talk to him about.

"You finally finished it?" Mu Jingzhe's eyes sparkled as he picked it up quickly. “I was just about to ask you because all this time I haven't heard you say anything about it. What is that story about? Was it very long?”

Previously, Mu Jingzhe could read Shao Xi's essay intermittently without much time passing between each essay, but this time, it took longer than expected.

“It's just a children's story. It's not long. Mom, read first.”

“Mm.”

Mu Jingzhe read for two hours. The short story is not long. It was less than 30,000 words, but Mu Jingzhe read it very seriously and slowly.

This story exceeded Mu Jingzhe's expectations, as this really didn't sound like Shao Xi's style. However, overall, it was clear that it was indeed written by Shao Xi.

Mu Jingzhe sat there for a long time before calling Shao Xi in. “Xi small, why do you think to write such a story? Are you inspired by your father and the nameless hero you heard before?”

"I think so." Shao Xi looked at Mu Jingzhe nervously. "Mom, what do you think?"

“I think it's very good. So good that I don't know how to describe it. ” Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Xi, feeling very surprised. Shao Xi was only ten years old.

A ten year old boy had actually written such a good story. “This means a lot. I'm not expecting you to write this story from a child's point of view. Besides, Little Xi, am I imagining anything? Why do I feel like this story was written for someone?”

Shao Xi smiled. “So you can know, Mom. Actually, my original intention of writing this book was to give it to someone.”

Originally, he wanted to write a story about the nameless hero and give it to Fang Yu.

"Who? Pen pals you reply to?” Mu Jingzhe, who was sharp, asked.

"I can't hide anything from you, Mom." Shao Xi had yet to tell Shao Qihai about Fang Yu's identity, but he told Mu Jingzhe.

“I also keep in touch with him. We can talk about anything. Fang Yu was a little silly and told me everything. I wrote a story with him in mind.”

Mu Jingzhe respected the children's privacy and never peeked at Shao Xi's letters, but he knew that he had been in contact with someone. He simply did not expect Fang Yu to be the child that Shao Qihai had escorted earlier.

Shao Xi explained the initial intent behind its creation. Mu Jingzhe was filled with emotion as he listened. “Xi is small, you do a very good job. That's very nice. I'm really proud of you.”

Although the protagonist is a child and not a nameless hero, this is indeed the story of an unnamed hero, albeit from a different point of view.

Those heroes, regardless of whether they were famous or nameless, were all ordinary people. They also have families and children. The only protagonist Shao Xi named 'Nameless' is the son [1] of the nameless hero.

It was the story of Fang Yu, who disliked and did not understand his father and even deliberately opposed him. He did not understand the meaning of death. There are also shadows of Shao Xi and his brothers in the story. Although these were the words of a child, they were very real.

Mu Jingzhe was deeply moved when he saw this. He felt that Shao Xi's writing had improved greatly.

This writing is very mature. If Shao Xi had not said that he was the one who wrote it, Mu Jingzhe would have thought that it was written by a great writer. However, only Shao Xi could write prose with childlike language and give such an impression.

[1] Fang Yu was a woman, but Shao Xi had the impression that he was a man
