Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s

Part 80 Isn't this a pitiful little douding who wants his mother?

"Xiao Zhou? What brings you here?" Lin's mother, who was about to see her daughter off, looked surprised to see Zhou Yue arrive with the two children.

Zhou Yue nodded slightly, greeting, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin."

Then he looked at Si Nian, who was packing things as if preparing to leave, and frowned slightly, "Nian Nian told me you needed some things for the wedding. I finished my work and came over. I can't let you handle everything."

Hearing this, Lin's mother immediately felt relieved. She had been worried that Zhou Yue might have some thoughts because Si Nian had been staying at home for the past couple of days without going back.

She looked approvingly at her tall and steady son-in-law, feeling pleased, and said, "Nian Nian just mentioned that she was worried about you two and thought you might return home early. Didn't expect you'd come over; that's wonderful!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yue paused and looked at Si Nian, his eyes as dark as ink. He had thought she would stay a few more days before returning.

He hadn't expected her to want to leave so soon. Was it because she couldn't get used to being at home, or was it because of them...

After Lin's mother finished speaking, she cast a meaningful glance at her daughter.

Look at them, both so concerned about each other! This was a good sign!

Although Zhou Yue had three children and was a bit older, appearing cold on the surface, those who knew him understood he was attentive and caring. As long as Si Nian didn't mind the children, they would surely have a harmonious life together in the future.

Contrary to rumors, the children weren't as daunting as people said, like driving away stepmothers or throwing tantrums.

From Lin's mother's perspective, the children clearly had affection for her daughter. Just look at the way they lit up upon seeing her; it was clear they considered her one of their own.

Being a mother, Lin's mother could easily discern the children's feelings. But looking closely now, the two children did seem a bit thin, even thinner than her own two sons. Considering her sons were twins and naturally had nutritional deficiencies, they had always grown slower than other children.

But these two children...

Thinking about her sons' comments on the children, Lin's mother couldn't help but sigh internally. Upon seeing her biological brother, Yao Yao, reacting first, she hurriedly stretched out her little hand and ran towards her big brother.

Zhou Yue Dong bent down to pick up his sister, ruffling her hair affectionately.

Lin Yu, on the other hand, looked on with envy and jealousy. Wasn't this the student who got a ride to school on a motorcycle every day? Not only did he get a ride from his dad every day, but he also had such an adorable little sister!

Had he missed out on having a sister in his lonely world?

Yao Yao was much more enthusiastic towards her brother, clinging tightly around his neck. Zhou Yue Dong's usually stern face softened, revealing a rare indulgent smile.

Si Nian hadn't paid much attention to the children. After realizing from Zhou Yue's use of her nickname "Nian Nian" and then hearing her mother's words, she felt a bit embarrassed.

She wasn't in that much of a hurry to go back; it's just that she was used to being in one place, so moving around felt a bit uncomfortable. She hadn't expected Zhou Yue to bring the children over.

She awkwardly ran her fingers through her hair and looked at Zhou Yue, "Aren't you busy with work at the factory?"

His voice deep and casual, Zhou Yue replied, "Hmm, I've managed to sort things out for the time being."

Knowing he was about to get married, everyone considered it a lifelong commitment and didn't want to bother him. They figured they could manage without him for a while.

Si Nian took another look at him. It was the first time she'd seen him not in casual clothes but something else. He wore a black, fitted outfit that resembled a combat uniform, with a belt around his waist that accentuated his already tall and slender figure.

With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and sleeves casually rolled up to reveal his perfectly toned arm muscles...

The clothes on him were breathtakingly handsome!

His hair seemed deliberately styled into a crew cut, making his sharp features even more pronounced and his eyes deeper.

Si Nian used to dislike how a uniform or military outfit seemed to put a filter on someone's appearance, but now she finally understood... it was mesmerizing!

A mature man in a tank top looked effortlessly cool, and in fitted clothing, he was simply irresistibly handsome!

Si Nian couldn't help but wonder if she'd been enchanted by him. From every angle, he looked striking and exuded a powerful aura.

Even the way he said her name sounded particularly pleasant...

"Speaking of which, I was just thinking of having Nian Nian tell you about going to the city to choose fabrics. I think we still have time, and I wanted to personally make her wedding dress," Lin's mother clapped her hands joyfully.

Zhou Yue Dong lowered his eyes to look at Si Nian. Her face turned slightly red, and she looked up at him with a hint of infatuation in her eyes.

He paused for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly.

"Alright."

He had the time. Whether it was choosing fabrics, taking wedding photos, or shopping for wedding rings, he could go anytime she wanted.

He knew city folks paid attention to these things; weddings involved buying lots of jewelry and clothing. He would provide all of that for her.

Si Nian quietly watched Zhou Yue Dong as he listened attentively to Lin's mother discussing the things they needed for the wedding. His profile was sharply defined. She swallowed hard...

Her mother and Zhou Yue Dong coincidentally turned their heads to look at her.

Si Nian: "Ahem..."
