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

Chapter 80: Moms Will Get Married Again and Have Children?

Under the gaze of the five pairs of eyes, Mu Jingzhe finished preparing lunch.

The lunch was fancy. Feeling guilty, Mu Jingzhe had prepared all of their favorite dishes.

“Quick and eat.”

"Good."

Xiao Wu, who had been eating happily, suddenly cried when he saw the delicious food he had already known again.

"What's wrong? Are you splashed with hot water? Or are you not feeling well?” Mu Jingzhe asked worriedly.

Xiao Wu shook his head. “No, I just want to know if I'm dreaming. Mom, it wasn't a dream when you came back, was it? If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up.”

Mu Jingzhe's nose instantly felt a stinging sensation. "Of course not. Foolish boy, I won't go again.”

Despite his words, the children still followed him in the afternoon.

Mu Jingzhe knew that they felt insecure, so he tried his best to accompany them.

At night, Shao Qiyang, who had not returned for two days, returned.

He returned sadly, with heavy footsteps and dark circles under his eyes, as a result of sleep deprivation for several days in a row.

When he reached the door, he tried his best to force a smile before entering.

As soon as he entered, he saw lights on and could vaguely hear the cheerful sounds of children.

It was as if he had returned to the time when Mu Jingzhe was still living with them.

Shao Qiyang paused for a moment, thinking that he might be imagining something. Then, he sped up and rushed into the kitchen loudly.

As he entered, he saw the children waiting obediently for their food and Mu Jingzhe, who was busy.

"You're back. Wash your hands first. It will be ready soon.”

Mu Jingzhe greeted Shao Qiyang.

Shao Qiyang stood at the door, dumbfounded. He pinched himself to get up and stop daydreaming.

However, the pinching is painful. Everything's real. Mu Jingzhe has returned!

"You ... You're back." Shao Qiyang looked at him without blinking.

“Mm.” Mu Jingzhe nodded in embarrassment.

A silly grin spread across Shao Qiyang's face. Without washing her hands, she went to sit at the dining table and saw Mu Jingzhe cooking.

Mu Jingzhe: "..."

He was actually almost done, but he really could not ignore the six pairs of burning eyes that were staring at him.

Mu Jingzhe turned around uncomfortably. "Can you stop looking?"

The children had been watching him since this morning, and now that Shao Qiyang had returned, he was doing the same.

“Don't mind those kids. Shao Qiyang, why are you also looking at me?”

Shao Qiyang awkwardly turned his gaze away. “I just want to thank you for coming back.”

The warmth she dreamed of has returned. At that moment, he was very hopeful that time could stop and this happiness could last forever.

After this incident, he could no longer lie to himself. He had drowned too deeply and could not get up again, nor did he intend to.

She was both happy and guilty of Mu Jingzhe's return, so she couldn't help but apologize to him.

"It wasn't your fault. Why are you apologizing?”

Shao Qiyang smiled bitterly. Her fault. He was unable to control Zhao Lan and the others. If he had, he wouldn't have suffered such a complaint.

The only thing he could do was to work hard and treat Mu Jingzhe well in the future so that he would not be bullied like this anymore.

At that moment, Shao Qiyang and the children had the same thought.

However, the way they wanted to treat him well was very different.

During the meal, after learning that Shao Dong was sick, Shao Qiyang was too embarrassed to face Mu Jingzhe. “I didn't take good care of him. I didn't even know she had a fever.”

“It's okay. He's much better now.” Shao Qiyang was too busy with work and did not have the energy to take care of everything, so he was not entirely to blame.

At night, Shao Qiyang even offered to look after Shao Dong, but his offer was rejected.

“Uncle, you still have to work tomorrow. Go rest. You don't have to watch over me. I'm already fine.”

Previously, Shao Dong had not recovered from his illness mainly because he had suppressed his emotions and felt overwhelmed with worry. Now that Mu Jingzhe had returned, the relief that enveloped him had actually cured most of the illness.

Anyway, he feels much better.

Shao Dong did not let Shao Qiyang watch over him, nor did he let Mu Jingzhe continue to do so.

“Bu, let Sister sleep. I'm much better now. If I don't feel well, I'll look for you.”

Shao Xi also nodded. "Absolutely. I'll watch him.”

Mu Jingzhe had been busy since he returned. They had all seen that, so they would definitely not let him keep an eye on Shao Dong tonight.

They had agreed to help guard Mu Jingzhe, so they had to keep their word.

Mu Jingzhe checked on Shao Dong's condition and only agreed after seeing that he was indeed much better.

"Then remember to call me if you're not feeling well."

Shao Dong, Shao Xi, Shao Nan, and Shao Zhong lay together and summarized the situation for the past two days.

“Nan is small, you did a pretty good job by starting a fire today. You can help Mom with that in the future. ”

After Shao Dong praised him, he began to think about his mission.

“Tomorrow or the day after, Little Xi will come with me to pick up firewood and pine nuts. Firewood in the home is now decreasing. We can't let Mom cut firewood herself.”

Shao Xi nodded. “Mm.”

They have done this often in the past and are used to it.

Xiao Wu waited for a while but did not hear Big Brother give him the mission. He anxiously asked, "Brother, what about me?"

"You? You are still young. You don't have to do those tasks. Stay with Mom and watch her. If his mood is bad, you can play a flute for him. He gets in a good mood every time you play him, but you can't play the kind of music you played a few days ago. It makes people want to cry.”

Xiao Wu nodded. “Alright, I'll follow Mom around.”

She explained shyly, “A few days ago, I felt annoyed that Mom left and I kept wanting to cry. That's why flutes also want to cry.”

The room was silent for a moment before Shao Dong suddenly spoke.

“And Little Xi, what you said to Mother earlier is also not wrong, but it is only partly. There are also many people who are very happy after getting married and having children. So, if Mommy is really getting married in the future and has children of her own, that's great too. We're gonna love our sisters together, okay? ”

The room became silent as Shao Dong said this.

They were young, but they had heard and seen too much. In an instant, countless thoughts popped into their minds. Their first reaction was that they could not accept this.

They're afraid. They fear Mommy will stop loving them once she has children of her own. He might not even want it anymore.

Their little hearts sank upon thinking about it.

Are they not enough?

They really wanted to refuse at first, but Shao Dong seemed to know what they were going to say and immediately said, “We shouldn't be too selfish, okay?”

It is not wrong if he wants to have his own child. A wonderful person like him should be happy and live a beautiful and full life.

When Shao Xi heard Shao Dong's words, she held back all her dissatisfaction and replied gently 'Mm'.

Mother's children.. If they are as good as Mother, then.... is it okay too, huh?

But thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Shao Xi held him back for a while and finally inevitably complained to Shao Dong for the first time. “Brother, it's not easy for us to get a mother. Can't you let us experience having a mother for longer. You can tell us a few days later.”.

Why should they receive such news on the first day they started calling her 'Mother'?
