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

Part 261 Let yourself go

Little Second gradually became more outgoing, realizing that making friends was important, and he started to let loose.

In contrast, Little First remained trapped in his own world, unwilling to engage with anyone outside of those he had accepted.

While independence and self-reliance were admirable qualities, it was indeed quite pitiful to have no friends.

Si Nian let out a sigh.

It seemed she had underestimated the situation.

As she and her children entered the yard one after the other, Little Second had already returned home.

The rich aroma of bone soup wafted through the air, making everyone's mouths water.

Seeing his older brother come back with their mom, Little Second, who was feeding the fish, immediately widened his eyes and exclaimed in annoyance, "Big Brother, you cheated! Didn't you say you'd wait for me at the school gate so we could go home together? Why are you with Mom?"

He felt wronged; he knew Big Brother must have done it on purpose so that he wouldn't see him. When he returned home, Mom wouldn't be able to pick them up together.

Then his older brother came back with Mom.

No wonder he hadn't seen her when he got home.

Big Brother was really too cunning.

Si Nian smiled as she ruffled Little Second's hair. "Alright, I bought some vegetable seeds. After you and your brother help me plant them, we'll have dinner."

Little Second, who had just been angry and thinking about finding trouble with his brother, immediately had his attention diverted.

"Planting vegetables? Really? Mom, you support me becoming a farmer? Yay! I'll go grab the hoe right now!"

He dashed into the house like a whirlwind.

Si Nian turned around and saw Zhou Zedong still looking a bit stiff. "Why are you just standing there? Go put your backpack away and come help."

Zhou Zedong was taken aback.

He thought that once Mom came home, she would definitely scold him.

When Little Second got into a fight before, Mom had scolded him.

Walking home, Zhou Zedong felt really nervous.

He had already prepared himself: if Mom got angry, he would immediately apologize. Si Nian was known to be soft-hearted and would definitely forgive him.

He didn't expect her to not be angry at all, and she didn't blame him.

After standing there for a moment, a smile suddenly broke across Zhou Zedong's face, and the gloomy feelings in his heart evaporated in an instant. He nodded heavily, "Yeah!"

Si Nian entered the house and noticed the bone broth was almost ready. After putting rice on to cook, she took out the vegetable seeds and went outside.

"Mom, Mom, where's our garden?!"

"I haven't dug the ground in so long! I'm so happy!"

"Wait, I'll go call Little Jiang to join us..."

Little Second excitedly finished his sentence and started running toward the Jiang family's house.

"Little Jiang?"

Si Nian couldn't help but laugh, quickly stopping him. "We don't have a garden, so we don't need Jiang Jiu's help."

"Huh?" Little Second was confused. "How can we grow vegetables without a garden?"
