TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS
Chapter 7: Having to Do an Examination
Did he make it because it was expensive to buy it?
His answer made Shao Xi stunned for a moment. She had thought Mu Jingzhe would at least say something to make them feel grateful, but it turned out to be that simple?
Mu Jingzhe glanced at him. If not, what?
He stopped talking and frowned as if something was bothering him.
After dinner, Shao Dong hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, “Is...
Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Dong in surprise. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded. “Indeed there was something. I'll tell you about it after I think about it. ”
In the morning, Shao Zhong was afraid of dirtying his clothes, so he sat obediently on the chair without moving, his eyes following Mu Jingzhe as he busied himself.
He only came out to pick up Shao Dong and the others when their class was about to end.
Unexpectedly, when Mu Jingzhe came out again, he saw Shao Zhong climbing the apricot tree, swaying around with his hands circling the tree trunk.
If Mu Jingzhe came out a little later, his arm would come off and he would fall.
If he fell from such a height, he might have broken his limbs or even died.
In the end, Mu Jingzhe led him down the stairs.
He felt so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat. His apricot was immature, and Shao Zhong was not a brat. He should have had a reason to climb a tree, but even if he asked, he would not answer.
Previously, he had barely been able to hold on and found himself in a dangerous situation. Since he could not make a sound, something terrible almost happened.
After Shao Zhong gave him that fear, Mu Jingzhe had to change his plans.
As Mu Jingzhe was thinking about this matter, someone came to the door.
It was a woman from the same village who was rarely visited.
"Sister, please sit down."
"Jingzhe, don't stand on ceremony." The woman reluctantly took her eyes off the children. “Yue My little one said that your children's clothes are very nice. I thought it was strange and thought she was exaggerating, but I had never seen such clothes on the street before.”
"I made them."
"Thul? No wonder." The woman's eyes sparkled when she heard this. He then said, sounding a little embarrassed, “I just heard that Little Bei's hair ornament was also made by you. I'd like to ask if you can help me make a couple for my girl.”
She was too embarrassed to ask him directly, so she took out five eggs from her pocket. “I don't have anything else in my house that's good enough. Just…"
An egg?
Mu Jingzhe raised his eyebrows and nodded preparedly. “Alright, I will make you a decoration in the afternoon and bring it.”
Exchanging two hairpieces for five eggs is not a bad deal. The five children will each get one.
After that woman came another old woman. He was also there because of the hair.
He took fifty cents instead of eggs.
Ornaments are sold at almost the same price outside, such as five eggs.
When it comes to price, most of the villagers are experienced.
Mu Jingzhe did not expect that the hair ornaments he had casually made would become so popular.
Since the business came knocking on his door, there was no reason for him to refuse. Mu Jingzhe accepted it without hesitation.
The third guest arrives soon. This one doesn't want a hairpiece. She wanted Mu Jingzhe to braid her hair.
The little girl was in Little Bei's classroom. In the morning, everyone was envious of Little Bei and even asked if he could make Mu Jingzhe braid their hair for them.
Although Little Bei was a bit hesitant, he agreed because he wanted to save face.
Upon seeing that his classmate had actually appeared, Little Bei nervously looked at Mu Jingzhe, afraid that he would not agree. He did not expect Mu Jingzhe to smile and nod.
"certain."
Mu Jingzhe was easy to talk to and finished braiding the little girl's hair after a few strokes. Her hairstyle was beautiful and completely different from Little Bei's.
This is how the village works—villagers help each other and reciprocate. Mu Jingzhe accepted it.
After a while, when Shao Dong and the others were about to go to school, Zhao Lan arrived.
Shao Dong and his brothers were in the spotlight at school that day. Shao Fu and his brothers also noticed their clothes and bags. As they used to do, they asked their grandmother to help them get it.
They were used to snatching things from Shao Dong and his brothers.
Shao Dong and his brothers, who looked like they were reborn, made Zhao Lan subconsciously think of the daughter-in-law who looked down on her, and her expression became even worse.
“Do you think you are from the city? Is that why you dress like this? You don't look like a village boy at all. Quickly and release this.”
Shao Dong's face was cold, and he did not speak or move. When Shao Zhong saw Shao X, he clenched his hands tightly and his eyes became slightly red. Shao Xii had lied to him again.
Shao XII had seen Shao Zhong as he came out in the morning. After seeing her in that new outfit, she wanted him to take it off. He refused to give up and was eventually beaten several times.
Then, Shao XII forced her to pluck apricots for him. He had threatened to make Zhao Lan come to take his clothes if he did not.
In the past, Shao Xi often bullied Shao Zhong because he did not know how to speak. In order to protect his clothes, Shao Zhong plucked apricots for him. However, Shao XII directly moved the bench and left Shao Zhong in the tree.
Now, Grandma is here to pick up their clothes.
Other than Shao Zhong, the other children were also displeased. No one makes a sound or moves.
“Didn't you hear me? Release them quickly.”
Zhao Lan grabbed Shao Dong impatiently, ready to hit him.
"What are you doing?"
Mu Jingzhe stood expressionlessly at the kitchen door.
His tone was neither hasty nor impatient, he also unintentionally raised his voice, but somehow Zhao Lan detected a hint of danger.
Recalling that he was at the door, he calmed down and withdrew his hand. "Where did you get these clothes?"
"I made them." Mu Jingzhe slowly walked over. “If grandma buys clothes for them, I don't need to make them. But since you refused to buy it, I had no choice but to make clothes. ”
“They can only wear the clothes of Shao Fu and his brothers. What kind of kid doesn't wear the clothes of a bigger kid?”
Zhao Lan coughed and gestured with her chin. “Enough they wear this for half a day. Take it off and let Shao Fu and the others wear it. They could wear it after Shao Fu and the rest were done with them. Always like this in the past.”
Mu Jingzhe shook his head. “It won't work. These clothes are made according to their size. They are very suitable, so they will not match Shao Fu and the others.”
Zhao Lan had never thought of this matter before. He had focused on grabbing clothes.
Only now did he realize that this was true.
“Yah... why don't you make a set for each of them?” Zhao Lan immediately changed her mind.
She was afraid that Mu Jingzhe would refuse and wanted to force her to agree. He did not expect Mu Jingzhe to be so easy to talk to or nod without hesitation.
"certain." She has never been a professional fashion designer in the past, but she has been involved in this field. He can make clothes, no problem.
Shao Bei pouted sadly. Zhao Lan, who was shocked, almost laughed as Mu Jingzhe added, “Since we are brothers, I will charge you eight yuan per set. Do you want a set for each of these four kids? Pay me a deposit of 20 yuan first. ”
Zhao Lan gasped. “Eight yuan per set? Why don't you just rob me?”
“I didn't rob you. Eight yuan is the market price. You didn't ask me to do it for free, did you?” Mu Jingzhe gave him a surprised look.
“We are family. How dare you mention money!"
With a seemingly confident expression, Mu Jingzhe said, “Bu, you are right, we are family. My fault. I won't talk about money then. If they buy the cloth, I will make clothes for them for free. Can you also pay money for Little Zhong to see a doctor?
Zhao Lan was not happy to hear Mu Jingzhe ask her to buy the cloth herself. And when he heard that last sentence, he pulled a long face. “Doctor what?”
“He hasn't said a word all this time. I think it's better we go to the hospital and let him have a proper checkup. He may be cured. We have to do it before it's too late. It can't last much longer.”
“I don't have much money right now, so can you come with me, Mom? Or you can give me the money. Shao Qihai said that he gave you quite a lot of money back then and you have kept it in his name.”
