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

Part 146 Be angry

Of course, polite words are always said like that, but who to call on really depends on her own choice.

As Si Nian was pulling Yaoyao into the house, she saw the little and big boys looking at her with hurt expressions.

Si Nian walked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

The younger boy pouted unhappily, standing there feeling wronged.

Upon hearing Si Nian speak, he immediately turned and ran off, as if in a huff.

Si Nian paused for a moment, then looked at the older boy.

The older boy needed to mature a bit. Although he felt a bit upset, he still didn't dare show his temper in front of Si Nian like his younger brother.

Zhou Zedong didn't dare to be angry, quickly looked up at her and said softly,

"We agreed to plant vegetables together."

Yesterday, our mother bought vegetable seeds and said she wanted to open up the yard to plant some vegetables and fruits to eat.

They immediately thought of coming back to help dig the ground.

So they ran back all the way home after school today. What had been a journey of more than an hour in the past was completed in 40 minutes. When they got back home, they found the ground had already been dug and the vegetables planted.

They didn't have a chance to show what they could do.

The two children felt disappointed and upset. Just now they heard everyone say they wanted Si Nian to teach them how to make green bean cakes, which made them even more unhappy.

Selfishly, they thought that was something only their mother could do.

Other kids envied their mother for being able to make so many delicious things

If everyone's taught by their mom, won't anyone be able to do it in the future?

Upon hearing this, Si Nian smiled and said, "Exactly because of this. Other kids in the neighborhood don't want to work, they just want to play all day."

"These two kids are really fun. They actually fight over wanting to help out, and they get upset if they aren't allowed."

"They're just too adorable."

"But last night I did mention this. The two kids said they wanted to help, and of course, I agreed. After all, I thought I couldn't handle it alone, so with their help, it would be much easier."

"But I didn't expect Zhou Yueshen to come back and finish it off in no time."

"Let alone them, I didn't even get to experience it myself."

Zhou Zedong said nothing and bit his lip.

Unable to resist, Si Nian rubbed his head. "Alright, don't be angry. The ground was too hard for either of us to dig. Your dad did it. I just sprinkled some seeds inside. In the future, I plan to plant chili peppers, eggplants, and corn. I'll need your help then."

Zhou Zedong cautiously glanced at her, and seeing her smile, he nervously twiddled his fingers and whispered, "I'm not angry."

He was just feeling a bit disappointed.

Though Zhou Zedong had experience with gardening, since he moved in with his father, he hadn't done much fieldwork. He mostly did household chores on regular days.

He urgently wanted to prove himself, to tell Si Nian that he wasn't any less capable than the other kids in the village. But he hadn't expected this opportunity to slip away so quickly. Si Nian rubbed his head and looked towards the inside of the house.
