Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 55: I Can See Daddy!

The costume Mu Jingzhe made for Little Bei was unanimously praised by everyone. Little Bei loved it so much that she bounced around and even caressed the costume before sleeping.

When it was time to learn how to dance, Little Bei was afraid that she would dirty it on the way there. Therefore, she didn’t wear it but carried it on her back instead. She would change into it when they got to school.

The moment Little Bei appeared, she became the most gorgeous little girl in the room.

The clothes Mu Jingzhe had designed and made for her were even better than the clothes her classmates said they had bought from Ocean City.

The remaining nine students all wanted such a costume. The parents were also keen on buying one and couldn’t help but ask around.

“Where did you buy Little Bei’s costume?”

“I didn’t buy it. I made it.”

“You made it? That’s impressive.” The parents were surprised and amazed.

After the teacher came and said that Little Bei’s costume was pretty, the parents couldn’t take it anymore and came forward to ask if Mu Jingzhe could make their children one too. The price was negotiable.

The parents took very seriously the fact that the children were going to the television station.

Mu Jingzhe naturally wouldn’t refuse. She agreed and set a price.

It wasn’t so expensive as to make the parents feel like they were being robbed, but it wasn’t so cheap as to make them take her effort for granted either.

After Mu Jingzhe took the measurements of the nine children and memorized their appearance, she went to buy fabrics and supplies that day to prepare.

After five days, Mu Jingzhe handed them the costumes on time.

The clothes of the nine children were different designs with similar colors. They had been tailored according to their characteristics and looked especially good on them. They also concealed some of their shortcomings, highlighting their strengths.

Since the children liked them, the parents felt that the costumes were worth it. Their relationship with Mu Jingzhe improved by leaps and bounds.

Mu Jingzhe was supportive, and Little Bei got along well with everyone. Besides, she didn’t disappoint the teacher.

Although she couldn’t practice as much as the other children, she learned quickly and practiced at home. She could keep up with them and even perform very well.

The next step was getting ready to go to the city.

When Ji Buwang heard that they were going to the city, he said that he wanted to go too.

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t care less about him. She only said, “I might have to take care of five children, so I won’t be able to pay any attention to you.”

Ji Buwang: “Got it.”

Uncle Li, who was secretly watching, was left speechless.

“…” action

He had previously been worried that Mu Jingzhe would pester his young master and refuse to let go, so he had fretted over what to do should the Young Master and the Old Master fall out as a result.

Now, it seemed that Mu Jingzhe had no interest in the Young Master at all. In fact, she seemed to be a little annoyed with him. It was the Young Master who was constantly chasing after her.

Uncle Li felt confused.

Mu Jingzhe, who didn’t know about Uncle Li’s complicated feelings, told the kids about her decision before setting off.

“You guys should go together. The art school will book a bus, and there’s enough room for all of you. When we get there, you can look around. When we get back, you can write an essay. Consider it a reward for you before your final exam.”

Previously, she had heard the children gossiping about what was going to be in the city.

Although the five kids were very sensible, they were still children after all. Occasionally, they would shoot envious gazes at Little Bei.

Mu Jingzhe had noticed this and thought about taking the children with her.

There was no difference between taking one child there and taking five children there. It would be good to bring them out to see the world.

The boys were indeed stunned.

In the end, they couldn’t resist the temptation and went over as well.

Shao Xi even found an excuse and said that he was there to take care of Little Bei.

As Mu Jingzhe had been to the city a few times and was familiar with it, she ended up being the leader of the parents.

When they arrived at the television station, they were fascinated by everything they saw. Everyone was a little reserved.

Only Mu Jingzhe remained the same.

Later on, during the rehearsal, Mu Jingzhe wasn’t only responsible for the children’s costumes. She was also responsible for styling their hair and helping them apply makeup.

The makeup artist of the broadcasting station was busy, as there were hundreds of children waiting for her to help them put on makeup. Like an assembly line, she would apply lipstick on their little lips, put a little red dot on their foreheads, and then apply some blusher on their cheeks before moving on to do the same thing for the next kid.

However, the director also asked the makeup artist to use different makeup styles, making her feel quite vexed.

Mu Jingzhe did Little Bei’s makeup herself. Upon seeing the lovely makeup on Little Bei’s face, the parents pushed their children in front of her without hesitation.

Sure.

In the end, Mu Jingzhe and the parents sat among the audience and watched their children dance on stage excitedly.

Nothing unexpected happened, and everything ended perfectly well.

They were happy, and so were the people from the television station.

They had originally been worried that a cock-up would happen because these kids were from a small county, but in the end, their costumes and styling turned out to be excellent.

The cameras were all focused on them, especially on Little Bei. Although there were many children, she was the most outstanding and eye-catching child.

The whole crowd’s attention was attracted by her right away.

Hence, they gave Little Bei a full two seconds of screentime.

Of course, Mu Jingzhe and the others weren’t aware of this.

After the dance, Mu Jingzhe went shopping with the five children. To be exact, they went shopping at the night market.

The night market of that era had already changed from being secretive to being open and aboveboard. The entire night market street was bustling with life.

All sorts of things were sold there.

Military coats, shirts, sunglasses, leather shoes, and watches. There were also all sorts of food.

There were many people at the night market. Mu Jingzhe was afraid that they would get separated, so she directly piggybacked Xiao Wu and held Little Bei and Shao Nan’s hands before she made Shao Dong and Shao Xi hold each other’s hands.

To be safe, she even tied their hands together with a rope.

The kids had said that they wouldn’t go missing, that they would definitely hold each other’s hands tightly. Nonetheless, Mu Jingzhe still tied their hands together.

She was the one who had brought them here. If she accidentally lost them, it wouldn’t be enough if she apologized with her life.

The night market was a diverse and crowded place, and the children were fascinated by everything they saw. Sometimes, they would be stunned by the sights, and at times like this, Mu Jingzhe was glad that they were bound together.

Mu Jingzhe also saw the butterfly hair clips she made at a night market stall. The boss was shouting, saying that this was the most beautiful and popular butterfly hair clip. Then, many people surrounded the stall and looked at it. There was also a brat lying on the ground, acting shamelessly and insisting on buying one. Otherwise, she wouldn’t get up.

Her mother couldn’t pull her away no matter what.

Mu Jingzhe touched her nose, feeling that she could hire more people and make more butterfly hair clips.

Upon seeing that, the five kids looked at Mu Jingzhe with pride and followed her obediently.

The brat’s mother looked at her child, who was rolling on the ground, and then at the five children enviously.

‘Why are other people’s kids so obedient?!’

If these five kids were to roll around on the floor too, she wouldn’t be so embarrassed.

Mu Jingzhe, who still didn’t know about her scary thoughts, was preparing to buy some food for the children. When she passed by the sugar figurines, she saw that the kids were all looking at them and prepared to buy them one each.

“Boss, I want five.”

Mu Jingzhe let the children choose by themselves and watched as the boss prepared them. Shao Xi watched for a while before standing up and looking around.

He suddenly froze in shock due to what he saw.

“Daddy?”

He saw a man not far away carrying a child and protecting a woman as he rushed forward.

Shao Xi was extremely familiar with that man. He would even dream of him occasionally.

That was his father, Shao Qihai.

Wasn’t his father dead? Why was he still here?

Afraid that his eyes were playing tricks on him, Shao Xi took another look and even pinched himself.

The pain woke him up.

That was real. It really was his daddy!

“Daddy!”

Shao Xi shouted, “Daddy! I can see Daddy!”
