TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS
Chapter 52: Revenge for Mu Jingzhe
After hearing Mu Jingzhe mention the sandals, the children looked down at their shoes.
The shoes they wear are cloth shoes but not a type of rubber sole.
Rubber sole cloth shoes and cloth shoes are the best shoes in the countryside, but sneakers are popular in the city.
Fashionable white sneakers are more fashionable than rubber sole fabric shoes. Everyone is proud to wear sneakers. Most students who come to art school come from fine families, so most wear sneakers.
Last week, when Mu Jingzhe discovered this, he wanted to buy it for the children. However, the children did not want to and said that their shoes were new and he did not need to buy them new ones.
Since they have not bought sneakers, children wear cloth shoes in the rain.
From the perspective of the next generation, these plastic sandals are not at all good. They could not compare to the embroidered cloth shoes on Little Bei's feet. However, the sandals were rare in this age, and many people were proud to have a pair of sandals.
After all, they could make their own cloth shoes.
Any other family child will probably be very happy to hear that they will get sandals.
However, none of the five children had moved. They looked at each other for a moment before speaking.
“Buy it for our sister. We're men, so we don't wear sandals.”
"True, there's no need to waste money."
"Our shoes are fine."
Although they had heard those words before, they were reasonable enough to refuse and only wanted him to buy the slippers for Little Bei.
When Little Bei heard that, he added, “No need. My shoes are new.”
It was not that Little Bei was neither envious nor sad, but he knew that they had to save money.
Since his elder brother did not want them, he did not want them either.
Mu Jingzhe felt even more annoyed after hearing their response. “Omong empty what kind of you are talking about? You're all gonna wear it. It is very hot in the summer, so everyone will buy a pair today. Don't refuse.”
“We really don't need them. You don't have to waste money.” Shao Dong continued to refuse.
“This is not a waste of money. It's only June now, and the real heat hasn't arrived yet. It is cooler to go around with a pair of sandals. In addition, there is a lot of rain in the summer, so you should not be afraid of your shoes getting wet while wearing sandals. If it is wet and dirty, you just need to rinse it off. It's worth buying a pair.
“If not, these cloth shoes will be easily damaged if exposed to rain water every day. You will not feel comfortable wearing wet shoes, and there is no point if you catch a cold by accident.”
Mu Jingzhe persuaded them as he pulled them over.
Seeing Shao Dong still hesitating, he added, “You can record for yourself the money spent on those slippers.”
He had seen Shao Dong secretly write down the expenses in his account book earlier. The numbers were clearly and seriously recorded, and he even wrote down the number of eggs they ate per week.
He will remember every kindness he showed them.
When Shao Dong heard that, he finally nodded. "Good."
They might as well buy it. That way, his younger siblings would not be looked down upon anymore.
Little Bei's eyes twinkled when he heard Shao Dong agree.
When they arrived at the shoe store, Mu Jingzhe said, "Choose the colors and designs you like and try to see if they match."
The eyes of the five children sparkled as they looked around. The boss told Mu Jingzhe, “They should buy one or two larger sizes. This way, they can continue to wear them next year or even the following year. These sandals are very sturdy and will last at least two to three years. When older children are older, the slippers can be lowered to younger children.”
Mu Jingzhe knew that everyone in the village was like that. If the sandals are damaged, the villagers will heat up the clamp and try to fix it themselves. This may slightly affect their aesthetics, but it has no impact on their function.
If the shoe becomes more worn, the back can be cut off, and these sandals can then be worn as sandals. Then, they would last another two to three years.
That was very nice.
Little Bei quickly finished choosing. "Auntie, I want this couple."
Mu Jingzhe saw it. It was a pair of emerald green sandals.
"Do you want this color?"
“Yes, other students have many colors pink, white, and yellow. There are very few green ones. You can tell at a glance that it belongs to me. ” He wants them to be unique.
"Good."
Some of them are dark green, while others are dark green. The reason they chose it was similar to Little Bei—they wanted to have them different from the others.
Mu Jingzhe was speechless as he looked at the sea of green.
They do not know what the color green represents. Seeing them like her, Mu Jingzhe scratched his head. Nonetheless, after bargaining with the boss, he went ahead and paid them off.
If they are green, so be it.
After paying, Mu Jingzhe asked them to change the sandals directly.
“Just give me those wet cloth shoes. I'll save it for you.”
The children obediently changed their new sandals.
Shao Dong continued to say that he was fine, but when he changed his sandals, he realized that his cloth shoes were already wet. His feet were white and wrinkled after soaking in wet shoes.
"Are you cold?" Mu Jingzhe could not help but frown. He thought for a moment and borrowed hot water from the female boss to wash his feet.
“You can't do this in the future, okay? It's OK if you only catch a small cold, but it's not good if you get an infection. Water in the soil is full of bacteria and dirt.”
Mu Jingzhe leaned over to check if there were any injuries on Shao Dong's leg.
Shao Dong's body stiffened, and his ears turned red. "No."
She had washed the faces and feet of her sisters frequently from a young age, but as she remembered, no one washed her feet for her.
Although it was summer and not as cold as ice, his legs did not feel well because they were soaking wet. After washing it off with hot water, she felt her legs comfortable and warm, and even her heart started to warm up.
Shao Dong put on his shoes and followed Mu Jingzhe, subconsciously stepping on the spot he was stepping on.
Mu Jingzhe, who was watching Little Bei and Xiao Wu, who had regained consciousness, did not notice her small movements.
Little Bei's eyes were still red, but he was already smiling. He bounced up and down as he walked and continued to look down at his sandal.
Xiao Wu did the same and continued to chase after him.
Shao Xi and Shao Nan were not so expressive about their excitement, but they could only bow their heads and look at the new sandals as well, just like the children did.
When the class started in the afternoon, the students realized that Little Bei had turned into sandals.
When they spoke to Little Bei and praised his beautiful shoes, Little Bei snorted and ignored him.
He still holds a grudge.
Then, a classmate said, “Bei little, your mother is amazing. He even knows how to hit people. Does he know kung fu?”
In the eyes of the children, Mu Jingzhe's kicks were like the movement out of a martial arts movie.
When Little Bei heard that, he finally reacted. He grunts. "That's right."
She did not deny that she was her 'mother'.
In art school, most of her classmates are taken to school by their parents or grandparents. Before he knew it, Little Bei rarely called Mu Jingzhe 'Auntie' in front of his classmates.
As his classmates praised Mu Jingzhe, Little Bei finally spoke to them and told them how amazing Mu Jingzhe— was that he knew kung fu and could even beat up men.
The man he hit, Tang Moling, sneezed loudly from afar.
Little Bei held a bragging convention.
Elsewhere, Shao Xi and Shao Nan had also heard someone mention Mu Jingzhe, but it was not something pleasant.
The ones who spoke were a man and a woman. The woman had curly hair and was wearing a skirt. With her curled pinky, she was heard saying that Mu Jingzhe was too cunning and did not look like a woman.
The man was wearing a nice shirt and glasses and looked like an intellectual. He nodded in agreement.
"Absolutely. She doesn't look like a woman at all.”
Shao Xi frowned upon hearing that. He was about to speak when he saw Shao Nan take a step forward and suddenly reached out to pat the curly-haired woman on the hip before stepping back and asking, "Uncle, why did you touch Auntie?"
The curly-haired woman, who suddenly felt someone touch her buttocks, heard her words amidst her shock.
He raised his hand and slapped the glasses guy. "A pervert."
