Mu Jingzhe had said that they would return on Sunday. Seeing they had not returned, Shao Qiyang knew that they must have been delayed by something.
He was afraid they would have to travel back at night, so he came to pick them up.
When Mu Jingzhe saw Shao Qiyang, he was very surprised but inevitably said, "If we don't plan to return, wouldn't you waste the trip?"
Back then, there were no cell phones, and it was very inconvenient to contact people.
Shao Qiyang smiled. “Well, I didn't make a wasted trip, did I?”
Even though Mu Jingzhe was strong, she was still worried, as she was a woman carrying five children. He was glad that he came to pick them up.
"We almost spent the night in the county."
“It was good too. If you don't want to go back, I'll just go to town. I'll take that as an early departure. I also have to work.”
Shao Qiyang had borrowed a bicycle from the village. Even if he did not manage to meet them, he still had to return his bike, yet he spoke casually.
With Shao Qiyang around to share the burden, it was much easier for Mu Jingzhe, and his speed increased.
At about 10 p.m., they finally came home.
Everyone in the Great Eastern Village was asleep, and very quiet. Xiao Wu, who was on Mu Jingzhe's back, also fell asleep.
When they reached home, he woke Xiao Wu up and asked her to go to the toilet before bringing her back to coax her back to sleep.
Xiao Wu was dazed and refused to let go of Mu Jingzhe. “Bu... I also want to call you 'Mama'. May I also call you 'Mother'?”
Half asleep, Xiao Wu asked the question he had pondered.
When he heard Little Bei call him that, he wanted to follow him.
Mu Jingzhe: "Surely, please."
Since Little Bei had already set a precedent, he might as well let Xiao Wu call him that.
It makes no difference if one child calls her 'Mother' or two children call her.
Xiao Wu smirked and fell asleep quietly.
Mu Jingzhe could not help but smile.
Shao Qiyang had cooked for them before taking it. After eating, Mu Jingzhe took out the money Little Bei had earned while Shao Qiyang was around.
“This is the money Little Bei received for dancing and filming the commercial. There is only a small subsidy for dancing. However, there is a lot of money for commercial. At least a hundred yuan. ”
One hundred yuan was a lot of money in that era.
“Bei small amazing.” Shao Qiyang was very pleased. "He can even shoot an ad."
“I will appear on TV in the future. Uncle, you must remember to be careful with me. ”
"Good."
“I have to earn more money and then buy a TV so we can watch it at home.”
Having a television is a proud thing, a happy event for the village children. Even in his sleep, Little Bei dreamed of buying a television.
Now that he was praised for making money, his first reaction was to want to buy a television.
"Well, buy a television in the future."
After buying a bicycle, they wanted to buy a television. Indeed, one's wants and needs are never endless.
Mu Jingzhe supported Little Bei's idea. “Then, I will save this money for you so that you can buy a television in the future. Should we hand it over to your brother for safekeeping?”
Mu Jingzhe did not mention Shao Qiyang. It was not that he did not believe it, but he was afraid that Zhao Lan would come to steal his money or ask to have it again.
Little Bei looked at his elder brother, then at Mu Jingzhe, and thought for a moment. "No, I can help keep her safe."
“Yes, you can save money for him. You spent a lot of money this time. ” Shao Dong nodded in agreement.
Mu Jingzhe thought for a moment. “Then, you can secure your own money, Little Bei. Next time, when we go to the county town, I'll take you to the bank to open an account.”
He would not use the money Little Bei had earned, nor would he use the money the children had earned unless he really had no other alternative.
“Let's save Shao Xi's money too. From now on, I will save all your royalties. The same goes for you all. I'll save your money for you.”
He does not need children to earn money to support the family.
Mu Jingzhe made a decision and asked them to sleep.
Meanwhile, Shao Qiyang waited for Mu Jingzhe to hand over the living expenses to her.
“I have sent many letters since I got the bike. This is my bonus.”
“You should also save money. Don't starve.”
"Yes I will. I remember what you always told me. Good health is a prerequisite for working.”
Shao Qiyang was overjoyed to hear the concerned reminder from Mu Jingzhe.
His heart is warm and full.
Now that Mu Jingzhe and the children had returned, this house felt like home again. Two days ago, when they were not around, he felt very empty, and his heart also felt empty.
“I will be back tomorrow night if there is no problem, Jingzhe,” Shao Qiyang told him.
In the past, she had complicated feelings about home. Every time he came back, he would feel tired. He still had to face Zhao Lan's scolding and criticism on a daily basis, as well as the pressure she put on him. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to return. Every time, he would drag his feet there, never once waiting for it.
However, ever since they split the family's assets, she started hoping to return home. This was because there was hot food and laughter waiting for him at home.
This is the life he dreamed of. This is his ideal home. When he returned home, it was as if all his fatigue was gone. He feels driven and motivated, and he wants to give them more and put in a lot of effort for the future.
His colleagues and leaders say that he is now completely different than before. Shao Qiyang hoped everything would remain like this.
He was not even willing to call Mu Jingzhe 'Second Sister-in-law' anymore. He subconsciously started calling her by her name a while ago.
It seems like this will slowly melt their relationship as brother-in-law and brother-in-law.
Shao Qiyang felt that Mu Jingzhe might as well understand his feelings…
Mu Jingzhe did not understand.
Compared to being called as Second Brother-in-law, he would rather call her by her name. He did not realize something was wrong and just thought that Shao Qiyang was unwilling to call him Second Sister-in-law because of Mu Jingzhe's original actions.
He nodded and took this opportunity to tell Shao Qiyang about Shao Xi seeing Shao Qihai.
“Shao Xi saw it in the night market. There were a lot of people around, and I didn't see it, but Shao Xi was crying really hard. He said he saw it with his own eyes. He was very upset and even said that his father did not want them anymore.”
Shao Qiyang did not expect such a thing to happen. “Second Brother? Is that really Second Brother? ”
"I'm not sure, but I think he may have misjudged."
Shao Qiyang nodded. “Mm, he must have seen it wrong. If she was still alive, Second Brother would not have left her children.”
Second Brother is not an irresponsible person.
Speaking of Second Brother, Shao Qiyang glanced at Mu Jingzhe to see how he felt.
Mu Jingzhe also looked towards Shao Qiyang. As he observed his flawless face, he could only nod.
He's very handsome. No wonder so many women in the village have a crush on him.
Shao Qiyang was handsome, had a good personality, was kind, responsible, and had a good job. Although he was not an official employee, it was better than being a farmer.
He's totally qualified. Therefore, before, people always came to inquire openly and covertly, asking Shao Qiyang's opinion and whether he was interested in applying.
In the past, Mu Jingzhe felt that it was inappropriate for him to interfere in the affairs of his sister-in-law and they had to ask her directly.
However, everyone said that Eldest Brother-in-law was like a mother. Since Zhao Lan and Eldest Brother-in-law Shao could not be bothered and Mu Jingzhe had yet to leave, he was the only one who could help make it happen and therefore should not wash his hands of this.
Now that the children called her 'Mother', Mu Jingzhe might have to stay with the Shao Family for a long time. In that case, he could not ignore everything anymore.
The main reason was that his sister-in-law, Shao Qiyang, was really not bad.
As they were discussing this topic, Mu Jingzhe investigated. “Shao Qiyang, have you met a suitable girl recently? Do you have any thoughts on this issue? "
In other words, it was time for him to find a life partner.
