Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

“Xue’er, starting from tomorrow, I’ll be going to school. I only have one day off in a week, which means I can only be home one day a week. So you’ll have the tough job of taking care of the two kids alone,” Chu Molin said softly to Qin Xue, careful not to wake the children.

“Don’t worry about us, just focus on your studies. I’ll take care of myself and the kids,” Qin Xue replied adjusting to a comfortable position, in response to her husband’s concerns.

“I’m just worried that you won’t be able to cope with taking care of two children alone,” Chu Molin caressed her long hair and swept it aside.

“Why worry about that? I have to adapt, don’t I?” Qin Xue laughed, knowing she could call upon Xue Ling to help with childcare when Chu Molin wasn’t home. It wouldn’t solely be her responsibility.

But she couldn’t express this directly to Chu Molin, so she assured him she would learn to adapt instead.

“Right, I just worry about you,” Chu Molin kissed the top of her head, feeling a sense of concern for his wife and children like never before.

But today, he truly understood that for their future wellbeing, he had to steel himself to focus on his studies and strive to climb higher.

“Chu Molin, you should focus on your studies, not worrying about us. Take good care of yourself. Only when you are doing well can you be the guardian for our family. If you stay strong, we’ll always be protected.

Only when you are successful, will we be safeguarded from harm and secure happiness,” Qin Xue gently guided, turning to hug his waist and resting her head on his arm.

His current state of vulnerability was unnerving, it made him an easy target to exploit, which was detrimental for him.

“Okay, I understand. Take good care of the kids and wait for me at home,” Chu Molin gently kissed her forehead.

“Let’s sleep now. You have classes tomorrow. We don’t want to leave a negative impression on the teachers,” Qin Xue mumbled sleepily. She was exhausted.

“Alright, let’s sleep.” Chu Molin continued to gently massage her waist until she fell asleep, he then closed his eyes to sleep too.

In the middle of the night, when the children cried, Chu Molin got up to change their diapers and settled them back down to sleep. After nursing them back to sleep, he too went back to rest. However, his biological clock didn’t allow him to sleep for long.

He rose to find his wife and children still sound asleep. He left a note for his wife informing her that he was going to school and won’t be back until Sunday. He also asked her to turn to Xiao Qi and Li Zhao for help if needed, rather than try to cope alone.

After leaving the note on the table, he jogged to the school. He reached early, and used the time to do a few laps around the field.

When the crowd started gathering, Chu Molin stopped to wipe off his sweat, then headed back to his dorm to change into fresh clothes for class.

Having sorted out his things in the dormitory after registration the previous day, he was able to return home after the exam.

So, he didn’t have to worry about setting up his space this morning and could move in directly. Otherwise, getting settled would’ve been a hassle so early in the morning.

Once Chu Molin was ready, he headed to the cafeteria for breakfast, ensuring he was prepared for his first class. He knew he had ‘parachuted’ in here and that the other students were homegrown.

Even if they were to be placed under him later, he would still be the outsider. If he couldn’t establish some respect now, he might struggle with management later.

This was why Chu Molin was both studying and observing. His orders included the responsibility to train an elite squad, so like the principal said, his time was pressing.
