Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 74 - 73 Joint

Cut, are you seriously planning to cause trouble? Gong Ruini just couldn’t believe how this guy’s IQ could make someone so anxious.

Teach her a lesson? Hmph, lucky for this kid he gave up on that idea; otherwise, Gong Ruini could guarantee he’d have a tough and miserable time.

If no one else, at least that old fox Zhao Xuran would definitely blow his top.

They got a good scolding today, wasn’t it just because the fighting went a bit overboard?

But his younger brother spent half a day working but failed to realize this mistake, and the punishment is likely to be more severe.

"Let’s make peace from now on," Gong Ruini rolled her eyes, and a scheme hatched.

Gong Ruini realized she was really a fool to have not thought of teaming up with Zhao Guangran.

Although he’s a naughty kid, dealing with naughty kids is sometimes quite manageable, like coaxing them into submission.

Under normal procedures, the soon-to-be-born twin boys in the Zhao Family should be raised by Zhao Xuran, and they would listen to him.

By then, they as siblings would be at a disadvantage, but teaming up with Zhao Guangran could plant a pawn in the Zhao Family.

Make peace? Gong Ruini plotted well, and Zhao Guangran was also at a loss.

Why suddenly want to make peace with him, Zhao Guangran expressed he was quite dizzy, "You want us to make peace?"

"You won’t try to ridicule me anymore in the future?"

"You won’t try to take over my brother?" This was crucial; ever since Gong Ruini arrived, he had forgotten when the last time his brother treated him well was.

Take over his brother? Come on, when did she ever snatch Zhao Xuran? If possible, she would rather stay away from him as far as possible, "I swear I won’t take over your brother."

It would be best if you brothers love each other dearly and can completely keep Zhao Xuran occupied.

"Really?" Gong Ruini answered so quickly that Zhao Guangran was a bit dazed, and he continued hesitantly.

This kid is surprisingly such a fussy person; if it weren’t for the united front, Gong Ruini might just have left.

"I have a brother, and Brother Xu Ran is a bit too fierce," Gong Ruini definitely would not choose Zhao Xuran as a brother; the pressure is too great, better target Zhao Guangran instead.

This was speaking ill of his brother, and Zhao Guangran’s first reaction was to defend his brother.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Xuran stepped out of the house and saw the two huddled together, feeling it quite strange how his own brother hadn’t erupted.

In fact, Zhao Xuran had been worried that his brother would be impatient while waiting and would be upset with Gong Ruini reminiscing today’s incidents.

He didn’t expect that they seemed rather close, which surprised him, but since there was no trouble, it was relieving.

"Brother, you’re here?" Zhao Guangran was startled upon seeing Zhao Xuran. "Um, we’ve got everything sorted."

"Alright, I know. You two go inside first." Seeing them shiver outside, looking hesitant to go indoors, Zhao Xuran chuckled.

Ah, can we go in? Gong Ruini and Zhao Guangran were overjoyed; without giving each other a glance, they rushed into the house.

Once inside, they could lie on the warm bed for a good rest, and more importantly, they could eat a meal.

Seeing them run into the house speedily, Zhao Xuran shook his head and began to inspect the results of their hard work.

Upon entering, Gong Ruini smelled the aroma of food, which pleased her a lot; honestly, she was so hungry she could probably devour a whole cow.

Dreams are rich, but reality is ribs, like a small dish of greens and a big pot of cornmeal porridge on the table.

Even though having greens in the winter is a joy, winter greens are just that, they can’t turn into meat.

Now all Gong Ruini wanted was to eat meat; after all the work done, nothing is better than meat.

Zhao Guangran thought the same, looking displeased at the table, "Just eating this?"

Zhao Guangran hadn’t voiced an expectation for dinner, but he figured that after a day’s work, at least there should be a hearty meal, not this modest offering.

"Just porridge, huh," Gong Ruini was the first to voice her dissatisfaction, and Zhao Guangran quickly followed suit without hesitation.

"Hungry this long and getting meat?" Zhao Gang glared at his youngest child discontentedly, "There are eggs, but eat the porridge first."

Zhao Gang couldn’t understand why his son was always so impatient, acting like he was abused when hungry.

Ah, there are eggs, Zhao Guangran immediately stopped complaining, speeding up eating the porridge, though no meat, but it beat just porridge.

Gong Ruini also sped up her porridge intake, not for the eggs but to quickly bathe and rest.

Not feeling the fatigue during work, but once sitting down, Gong Ruini felt uncomfortable, her body protesting all over.

Noticing Gong Ruini eating faster, Zhao Guangran thought she wanted to fight for the food, and he too hastened his eating pace.

This race to eat made the parents quite happy.

"Labor makes one cherish food more, right?" Zhao Gang thought this method was really good and should be attempted again if possible.

Zhao Gang felt his son should care more about what he’s making than thinking about food, "You sure what you made is okay?"

"No problem," Zhao Guangran said, feeling a bit guilty, as some parts were not well done, especially towards the end when hunger struck heavily, draining his energy.

Gong Ruini also felt guilty because, while Zhao Guangran kept quiet about it, she noted he cut corners as well halfway through.

Wait, what they made was outside, wasn’t it easily visible, oh my god.

Gong Ruini was stupefied; had she known it’d be this strict, she should have tampered earlier.

Zhao Guangran was dumbfounded; no way, was big brother not planning to let them off easily?

As the two were hesitating, Zhao Xuran walked in, "I’ve seen what you’ve done, how should I put this."

These words raised Gong Ruini’s anxiety; could it be that they really didn’t pass?

Pleadingly, Gong Ruini looked at Zhao Xuran, hoping he wouldn’t say their work was bad today; having to redo it would be a disaster.

Though full, the chilly wind was howling outside; once inside, Gong Ruini didn’t want to go back out.

"Not well done, it’s late today, remember to continue tomorrow," Zhao Xuran addressed the tense pair, saying something not too harsh.

Continuing tomorrow is doable; Gong Ruini breathed a sigh of relief, wait a minute, wasn’t he saying continuing, not redoing?

"Continue tomorrow, turn the clean snow on the ground into snow piles," Zhao Xuran said with a smile, explaining that they hadn’t completed everything today, so there’s more work tomorrow.

Oh no, really continuing tomorrow? Gong Ruini was dumbfounded; knowing the weather could potentially bring more snow at any time, wouldn’t that mean more work if it snowed heavily again?

Gong Ruini genuinely didn’t want to work tomorrow, especially since she wanted to lie on the warm bed for a good sleep, no, to study, at least removing the illiterate label as soon as possible.
