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

Chapter 6: New Clothes

"Is there anything cheaper?" Mu Jingzhe asked the stall owner with a frown.

“Nothing's cheaper than this, son. Look at the quality and design. It's already the lowest price.”

The boss gestured to show Mu Jingzhe the strong points of the clothes.

Mu Jingzhe did not show it, but deep down he wanted to say that his quality and style were truly average.

Even so, he could not afford this.

Currently, Mu Jingzhe was at the city market. This time, he came up with a mission to buy clothes and school supplies for the children.

Although Mu Jingzhe had said those words to Zhao Lan that day, Shao Qiyang had heard them as well. Despite being worried, she was too busy, so she could only ask Mu Jingzhe to help her buy things.

The plan to expel Mu Jingzhe could only be delayed.

He gave the rest of the money to Mu Jingzhe, but it was still not enough for the children to buy new clothes.

After seeing that the boss did not plan to budge on the price and seeing the quality and style, Mu Jingzhe firmly gave up.

This is his fifth day in the world.

The last two days have been quite peaceful. Shao Qiyang left early in the morning and came home from work late at night. She would leave the house before dawn, leaving only her and her five children at home.

Since he was just taking care of them, cooking for them, washing their clothes, and thinking about how to grow vegetables, everything was fine in the past few days.

Mu Jingzhe observed as he looked around, then went to buy textbooks, pencils, rubber, rulers, and other necessary things written on Shao Dong's notes.

He had asked Shao Dong what he should buy when the school reopened. Shao Dong was still unwilling to say a word, but he had given him a piece of paper that clearly listed the items and the required amount.

Although he was only second grade, Shao Dong's handwriting was excellent. After the boss read it, he said that it would be better if he trained his handwriting further.

Unfortunately, there is no money.

They didn't even have the money to buy brushes and ink.

"I have to find a way to get the money as soon as possible."

After walking around the market, Mu Jingzhe finally entered the cloth shop.

Compared to apparel, fabrics are relatively cheaper.

Not everyone knew how to make clothes, but Mu Jingzhe knew. Coincidentally, a sewing machine had been inserted in her dowry.

After returning home that day, Mu Jingzhe closed the door and was busy.

Shortly after, the first day of school arrived. Shao Dong got up early in the morning and was about to pick up his washed clothes to wear when there was a knock on the door.

Shao Dong opened the door and looked at Mu Jingzhe.

He held a pile of clothes in his hand. “Little Dong, these are the clothes I made for you. Your name is in your pocket. You can wear them to see if they are suitable for you. I also sewed a simple school bag. You can use it for now. ”

Mu Jingzhe was not blind. He could tell how old their school bag was.

Shao Dong looked at the new clothes in Mu Jingzhe's hands and was stunned for the first time.

He was used to people who treated them badly. It's been like this since he can remember. Now that he was suddenly treated well, he did not know how to react.

He's not moving. Mu Jingzhe could only explain. "They're all new."

Shao Dong regained his senses and quickly picked up the clothes. "Thank you."

This dress is new. It's been a long time since he's worn new clothes.

In the early years, when their father would return to visit the family, Shao Dong and the children would wear new clothes that did not fit for several days. When his father left, they were no longer theirs. They would wait for their father to come back every day so that they could put on new clothes and feel full.

However, their father would only return once a year.

Later, his father will finally go home and buy them new clothes. But he would be too busy to care. After he left, the new clothes would be snatched away by the neighboring children again.

She had not expected to receive any new clothes today.

When the school reopened that day, the four children of the Shao Family, who were once the saddest and often wore patched clothes, took center stage.

It was because the four of them changed into new clothes with designs that the village did not have.

Double-coated vests can keep them warm but are suitable to wear in the spring. As the weather got hotter, they could only take off their vests and put on their clothes.

Shirts and vests are both casual, but very beautiful and beautiful, fully accentuating the appearance and true spirit of the boy.

The features of the duo were similar, but their temperaments were completely different.

If Shao Dong was a cool man, then Shao Xi, who was born so fair that he did not look like a country boy, was like a little prince in a fairy tale.

Shao Nan and Shao Bei were wearing checkered clothes. Shao Nan had a jacket that appeared extraordinary despite its simple design.

Using the same cloth, he made Shao Bei a Korean-style shirt with a doll collar.

Combined with her beautiful braids and hair, she could be considered the most attention-grabbing girl in school.

The four children caught everyone's attention the moment they appeared on the seedy campus.

They subconsciously straightened their backs, their eyes filled with confidence.

This was the happiest day of Shao Bei's life. Everyone surrounded him, looking at his clothes, school bags, braids, and hair ornaments. All of her classmates were envious of her as if she was a little princess.

He used to be the one who envied others.

Even though she is only five years old, she likes to look beautiful. Of course, he likes to be praised by everyone. Right now, he could not stop smiling.

On his way home from school in the afternoon, Shao Bei inevitably jumped up and down as he walked. He kept talking about how everyone praised him and even occasionally praised Mu Jingzhe.

Initially, Shao Xi was still smiling as she listened, but slowly she stopped smiling.

“This is just a set of clothes, and all he does is comb your hair. You like it so much just because of that?”

Shao Bei did not see anything strange from his second brother. “It... Not that I like her a lot, but she is very good at braiding hair.”

Shao Bei's hair had previously been combed by Shao Xi, who only knew how to tie it into a ponytail that wasn't even too smooth. Even though he tried his best to be careful, he still hurt Shao Bei at all times.

This morning, Mu Jingzhe helped her comb her hair. It didn't hurt at all, and she even braided her hair, a hairstyle Shao Bei had never seen before. In addition, she also adorned her hair with beautiful hair ornaments.

“Second Brother, you don't have to comb my hair anymore for me. Let him do it for me.”

Seeing that their house was in front, Shao Bei rushed over and ran over.

"We're back."

"You indeed. Wash your hands and eat."

Mu Jingzhe slowly improved the hygiene habits of the four children and taught them to wash their hands before eating.

Shao Zhong was a step slower as he ran to wash his hands with his brothers.

He also wears new clothes.

Like her two older brothers, she wore a small vest, except she also had a hat that made her look rather adorable.

Normally, when his brothers went to school, he would follow them there. Every day, he would play at the school gates and wait for his siblings to finish their classes.

This time, he did not leave because he was wearing new clothes and was afraid to dirty him.

Happy Shao Bei inevitably asked Mu Jingzhe, "Auntie, do you know how to braid hair in any other way?"

"Yes." Yeah." Mu Jingzhe knew how to make many different hairstyles. "I'll tie your hair in a different way tomorrow."

Finally there was a commotion at the dinner table, and the family finally started to look like a family with five children. The atmosphere was fitting, so Shao Xi used this opportunity to continue the conversation.

"Did you make those clothes? Why did you decide to make clothes for us?”

Shao Xi's voice was filled with curiosity, but her eyes had a calmness that was incompatible with her age.

Shao Xi will one day become a future famous writer, a literary giant, and a big boss of the media who will control public opinion.

He had seen the worst of human nature, so he did not believe that Mu Jingzhe would treat them well for no reason.

Mu Jingzhe fell silent for a moment before giving his most sincere reply. “I made them. I want to buy it, but it is expensive.”

Most importantly, I can't afford it, baby.
