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

Chapter 61: Changing

Little Bei took advantage of this opportunity. “See that, Mom? My older brother also thinks that you like Xiao Wu. ”

As soon as Little Bei finished speaking, he heard Shao Nan's voice. "Little Bei, he's also pretty good to you."

"That's right." Little bei agreed.

Mu Jingzhe: "..."

As long as there are two or more children, bias problems will exist. He himself did not expect to face such a situation, let alone with five children.

Most importantly, he had to admit that he was indeed biased.

It was not that he disliked Shao Dong, Shao Xi, and Shao Nan, but that they were older and could take care of themselves. Furthermore, because of their personalities, he was not as close as he was to Little Bei and Xiao Wu.

Due to fate and chance, he was getting closer to Little Bei and Xiao Wu. They are both more obedient, fun, and attached to it.

So, he was indeed a little biased and cared more about them.

Mu Jingzhe gave the five of them each an egg and promised, "I will try my best to be fair in the future."

Hearing this, Shao Dong and Shao Xi looked a little embarrassed and stopped talking.

After all, they feel grown up, and a real man shouldn't behave like this. Besides .... the two little children called her 'Mother'. They were unlike Shao Dong and the others.

*****

Everyone in the village knew that Little Bei had made commercials and even danced on TV.

Then, the full grade essay of elementary students was finally published. The school received samples from publishers for Shao Xi.

The principal and homeroom teacher were very excited. They even specifically publicized the matter during the flag-raising ceremony and gave him an achievement award, as well as three sample books.

The school has kept two sample books for students to read so that everyone can learn from them in the future and strive to publish their work in that book as well.

The children of the Shao Family all made something of themselves. These pitiful little ones, who used to have no one to take care of, have become role models that other parents are now asking their children to learn from.

After Shao Xi brought home three sample books, she pretended to be calm and gave one to Mu Jingzhe.

"Take it if you like."

“Wah, thank you, Shao Xi. That's amazing.”

Mu Jingzhe felt that Little Shao Xi exuded a domineering CEO aura. He kept it carefully and said, “I'll appreciate it. You should keep yours too. You can leave one for everyone to read, but the other you should save correctly.”

The corner of Shao Xi's mouth curved. Although he had already decided to listen to her, he said, “There is no need to get too excited. There will be more in the future.”

"I believe you!" Mu Jingzhe nodded excitedly.

Shy Shao Xi: “..”

What can he answer for this?

He touched his nose and handed over the essay he had promised to write about their trip to the city to Mu Jingzhe.

Shao Xi's essay did not mention meeting Shao Qihai, just his wish.

Shao Xi's true desire was hidden in his words.

He wanted his name and book to resonate around the world. In the future, he wants to become a famous writer and appear in newspapers and television shows. He wanted everyone to know his name and made it difficult for Shao Qihai to ignore him even though he wanted to.

He had to show Shao Qihai how amazing and impressive he was and make him regret it.

Other than Xiao Wu, who did not write essays, Shao Dong and his brothers' essays also did not mention Shao Qihai. After Mu Jingzhe read it, he felt that their essays were in some way similar.

For example, Little Bei has written that he wants to appear more frequently on television in the future so that everyone will get to know him.

"This is very similar to their future path in the novel."

The Dragon Boat Festival will take place on Wednesday.

Mu Jingzhe had wrapped all the salty and sweet dumplings and tied them with a five-colored thread.

Five-color yarn has been purchased before. It is said that it symbolizes a five-colored dragon and can conquer demons and ghosts. It is also known as 'long life thread'. One would tie it to their wrists and pray to suppress evil and avoid poison, allowing one to live a long life.

“Left for male, right for female. Little Bei, tie it in your right hand. Shao Dong, Shao Xi, Shao Nan, and Xiao Wu, tie in your left hand.”

Mu Jingzhe followed that order. "I'll braid it for you so as not to get caught by anything else."

In the past, during the Dragon Boat Festival, they basically could not afford to eat such expensive food as dumplings. Now, their stomachs were already full from eating too much.

When have they ever enjoyed such a fun holiday? Even Shao Dong ate cheerfully until his small stomach bulged.

He saw a five-color thread, curiosity flashed in his eyes, but said, “Hmm, no need. I am a male..”.

“You're a boy, which is why you wear it on your left hand. Hurry up."

“Quick, Brother!” Little Bei was impatient. He likes this the most.

In the past, he had only tied up the rest of Shao X's thread. They were not even five colors, and Shao Dong and the other boys did not tie the thread at all.

“You've never tied threads before. Now, you have a Mom to help you tie it up. How wonderful it is..”

Shao Dong extended his hand. “Thank you for the problem.”

"Either. That's no problem at all.”

Mu Jingzhe helped each of them tie him up, then even tied one around the necks of Little Bei and Xiao Wu.

This was a custom in the Great Eastern Village and its surroundings. Little Bei and Xiao Wu were happy, but Shao Nan awkwardly said she didn't want to tie it around her neck.

Mu Jingzhe did not force her.

When they go to school in the afternoon, they will see everyone flaunting their five-colored threads and see whose threads look better.

However, it only lasted for two days.

Soon, the five-color thread will become dirty.

Before Little Bei's five-colored thread became dirty, he traveled again to the county.

This time not for filming commercials but for the voiceover of an animated show.

Previously, Little Bei had done an excellent job in mimicking advertisements, and he could also speak a foreign language. These are all points in his favor. So, now that there was a chance to do voiceover, he naturally came to his mind.

Although the remuneration was not much, it was still a good opportunity to develop his abilities. Mu Jingzhe took her there again.

This time, he did not bring a boy with him. As they left, Shao Dong and his brothers stayed in the district to continue their foreign language lessons before going to the district library to read.

The entire school is vying to read Shao Xi's elementary school essay.

Shao Xi, Shao Dong, and the others also read it. Xiao Wu, who had yet to officially go to school, excitedly watched from the sidelines.

The thirst for books was undoubtedly reflected in these voracious readers, and Mu Jingzhe belatedly realized that there was a dearth of books in this era.

The school in Little Eastern Village had no extracurricular reading materials other than books.

The same thing happened in other villages. Even in the cities, there were very few schools and no libraries at all. The condition of the era was very pale compared to modern times.

Reading habits and how much children read are very important to them. Mu Jingzhe went to ask after realizing this.

There is a library in the county that has a simple collection of books.

Mu Jingzhe thought of a way and asked Ji Buwang to help him apply for a library card.

With a library card, they can go into the library to read and even borrow books.

The five kids liked it. For them, it was like opening the door to a new world.

However, there were some books that were not suitable for them to read, and Mu Jingzhe had shown them.

When Mu Jingzhe brought Little Bei back, Xiao Wu ran over and clung to Mu Jingzhe.

“Finally you're back, Mom. We miss you so much.”

Shao Dong and the others did not say anything, but they did not deny it. Upon seeing their sparkling eyes, he knew that they missed him terribly.

Unconsciously, the attitude of the children towards him has changed. Needless to say, Little Bei and Xiao Wu were now familiar with him and depended on him. He also grew closer to the other three children.

At first, he was just thinking of taking care of them.

However, when one faced these young and pitiful children, it was impossible to ignore them.

The main reason was that he could empathize with them. He was an orphan and experienced the same thing. After suffering through the pain itself, he knew how terrifying it was, so he could not bear to let them suffer.

Change always goes beyond plan. Their attitude towards him had changed, as had his attitude towards them.
