Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 116 - 115 Unexpected Surprise

So we’re splitting up to look for stuff? Gong Ruini was surprised, she had been wondering what to do if the Zhao Family found out.

Some things need careful attention, especially Zhao Xuran. Gong Ruini always felt this kid was too sharp, not paying attention could easily lead to him discovering something.

If it were something minor, Gong Ruini wouldn’t really worry, but this space thing defies nature. Once people know about it, it could be trouble. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Especially if this thing is explained as being discovered from an underground tunnel, imagine if the Zhao Family would feel comfortable with that.

It was just a Jade Pendant to begin with; given away is given away. Though it’s worth some money, without Gong Ruini, they wouldn’t have discovered such a good place.

Not to mention making a fortune off it, and now they find out the thing they generously gave away was a valuable item, would they feel comfortable?

To prevent discovery, Gong Ruini hasn’t entered the space much to this day. Besides the space being rather trashy, leaving her not wanting to enter, she just didn’t want anyone to find out.

Gong Ruini didn’t want to miss this treasure hunt. With a whole room of stuff, Gong Ruini always felt there should be some good things.

"By the way, those textbooks were ones I specially sorted out. They’re unwanted by the education bureau; they printed too many," Li Jianjun kept shaking his head.

In childhood, wanting to study, the family didn’t have the means. They put in effort just for future generations to eat and be warm, to be able to read, not remain illiterate, but now kids have books and don’t read them.

Every day they just think about critique sessions. Really don’t know what’s going through these people’s minds, and although Li Jianjun was not satisfied with the situation, he also knew with his background, he was powerless.

What comforted Li Jianjun was that no matter how noisy it was outside, the hometown remained rather quiet, still thinking of letting children read and learn.

Moreover, books unwanted by the education bureau, Zhao Gang’s eyes lit up. Although they came thinking about getting good things, they also planned to buy books for the village kids.

There was no doubt the task would be finished, but the quality of completion was uncertain. Unexpectedly, there’s even unwanted books from the education bureau here, how can that not be surprising?

Zhao Gang wondered if they overprinted, couldn’t they keep them? Isn’t it too wasteful, is there anything they don’t know, like the content inside?

"Don’t worry, I’ve checked, they’re actually versions from a few years ago, quite good." Li Jianjun wouldn’t fail his hometown people.

Hearing this, Zhao Gang responded, "Then we’ll take them all." These books are cheaper than new ones, no need to pick and choose, just pack them and go.

A straightforward person, Li Jian Country was about to leave with the books. Leaving these people, they might not dare search thoroughly, better to leave them some space.

Watching Li Jianjun leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although they knew the people should be okay, somehow it felt strange choosing contraband items with authorities present.

Before everyone got excited to plan the treasure hunt on Treasure Mountain, Li Jianjun suddenly turned around, giving Zhao Gang a scare.

Nobody understood why the old man suddenly turned again, didn’t he realize it was frightening?

Was he still uneasy, planning to stay as a supervisor?

No matter the dissatisfaction, the old man was set on staying, and there was nothing they could do.

"I was thinking, do you want junior high and high school practice papers? I’ve seen them, they’re from a good high school in the province," Li Jianjun remembered the treasured items stored away.

In the past, these would certainly be valuable items, while now they seemed overwhelming.

Originally, Li Jianjun thought if it couldn’t be handled, so be it, everyone was indifferent, why should a lone old man care?

Junior high and high school practice papers? Gong Tao wondered what they’d need these for, they weren’t young, and the kids were still small, would they wait ten years?

Though Zhao Gang also thought they weren’t needed now, he saw the family had space to store them, and if things returned to normal in a few years, his eldest son could get into a good school.

Furthermore, letting the kids study more beats them running wild outside, "Thank you, granduncle."

"Thank me for what?" Li Jianjun waved his hand, indicating it was no problem, "Take your time searching, I’ve got hot water at home for noon."

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to treat them to a meal, but Li Jianjun didn’t have anything impressive to offer, and besides, they came from a mountain, would they even care about an old man’s offerings?

Junior high and high school practice papers, especially from a top local school, Gong Ruini felt like she could fly.

This was their biggest gain today; in a few years, entrance exams would resume, and everyone lamented over the lack of practice papers.

After being out of school for so long, nobody knew what to do. In big cities, they might still find connections to get practice papers and study materials, but in their small rural corner of the Northeast, they wouldn’t know until everyone knew.

Missing the registration would already be bad enough; scrambling for study materials was out of the question, "Grandpa Li is really kind."

Perhaps in Li Jianjun’s eyes, it was just clearing something of some use but little value, yet from Gong Ruini’s perspective, it might crucially help the Gong and Zhao families get into good universities.

"Yes, it’s nice. Later, those items can be used by Ni Zi." Since they already claimed it, they wouldn’t waste it.

Later, Gong Tao and Zhao Gang didn’t know how to thank Li Jianjun. Without his mention, they’d miss such valuable resources, let alone change their fate.

Alas, at that moment, Zhao Gang and Gong Tao didn’t realize they were busy looking for stuff.

Gong Ruini also sighed a bit, then busied herself with the treasure hunt.

Gong Ruini focused on calligraphy, paintings, and ancient books; although Li Jianjun said she was in charge there, she couldn’t take too much, or else people would notice something wrong when someone came to clear out the area in a few days.

Even though Li Jianjun wasn’t worried about such small figures, it wasn’t necessary to cause them trouble.

Moreover, everyone planned to come back later to the treasure, so they were careful during their search.

Gong Tao’s goal was the surrounding boxes. No matter what their main goal was, for him, finding a box to please his daughter was most important.

Gong Ruini now didn’t even think of finding boxes. Initially, she just wanted a reason to come to the county town. Now that the task was done, the excuses were unimportant. If needed, they could ask Master Carpenter Han to make a box.

As long as it was sturdy, Gong Ruini was thinking of taking it with her, as a keepsake from this era.

Looking at the treasure like a golden mountain, Gong Ruini was thrilled, longing to let out a few howls, but for now, she had to restrain herself, not to draw big trouble.

Stay low-key, must stay low-key.
