Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 122 - 121: Who Is the Boss at Home

"Well, I picked quite a few books, but I’m not sure if they are ancient texts." Feeling the gentle care from his wife, Zhao Gang was filled with all kinds of unease.

Even though he knew his wife wouldn’t look down on him, if Gong Tao really found something good during their outing, it would just prove he wasn’t as capable.

Zhao Gang was someone who cared about face, so he was a bit worried and planned to give his wife some reassurance now.

How uneasy he felt, Zhan Jing was quite puzzled. Ever since they had gained a foothold in the Northeast, it had really been a long time since she saw her husband so unsettled.

It was indeed rare to see Zhao Gang this anxious. "It’s okay, even if they aren’t ancient texts, we can read more, and later save them for Xuran and the others."

Zhan Jing didn’t know if they had the opportunity to leave the small village, but they needed to prepare, or else, when the opportunity came, they might still miss it.

If it were in the past, Zhan Jing would have thought it was better to have money on hand for a sense of security. But now, with money in hand and gold in the cellar, it was already enough for her.

Zhan Jing’s current hope was to enrich the family’s knowledge base. "Reading more books can help Zhao Xuran and the others go out into the world."

Although Zhao Gang and others thought that being a worker in a factory wasn’t necessarily good, as the food and drinks outside weren’t as comfortable as here and the money wasn’t a lot either, staying in the city and seeing more things was far better than being a rural tycoon. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

And how to become a worker in the city? Besides having someone to give you a little boost, you also need to know a bit of knowledge.

His own wife was truly good, and Zhao Gang was moved by Zhan Jing’s words, knowing that his wife wasn’t someone who loved wealth and despised poverty.

"Wife, you’re so good." His wife was indeed good, not to say that Zhao Gang thought Cai Meina was bad, but she felt a bit too lacking in gentleness.

Zhao Gang truly didn’t understand, with such strong combat power, how could he be so powerless facing the Cai Family and Gong Family? In short, he really didn’t understand.

However, this was an issue between the couple themselves, so why should he meddle so much? "Wife, do you know? We scored big today."

"We actually got a set of middle and high school exam papers. I checked, they are pre-revolution papers, and they’re from the top high school in the provincial capital." Zhao Gang had briefly looked through them on the way back; they were really good, though unfortunately, not of use to him.

Ah, middle and high school exams? Are there still such old exam papers these days? Zhan Jing was very puzzled.

If it was at the beginning of the revolution having such a set of items, it would be normal, but it had already been several years, and they were still so well-preserved. It seemed the previous owner cherished them greatly.

"Let me have a look." Even though they couldn’t use them now, keeping them would eventually find a use. If education resumed in the future, Zhao Xuran could use them to study and strive to get into a good middle and high school, and later go to university.

Zhan Jing’s biggest regret in this life was not being able to attend university. She didn’t know if her son could, but if he could, even if it meant selling everything, she would ensure he attended university, fulfilling her former dream.

Zhan Jing assumed the papers were blank, not expecting there to be writing on them, complete with solutions and steps. "The handwriting is so bold and strong."

"It also feels like it should be a teacher’s." Zhan Jing indicated that these papers were definitely treasures. "Though, it would be even better if there were textbooks."

That way, they could combine the exercise books with the textbooks, so her own son wouldn’t struggle when looking at them later.

Uh, this is a bit difficult. It’s not that Zhao Gang didn’t want to, but he wasn’t sure if such things even remained.

Zhan Jing sighed inwardly. Yes, she was asking for too much. Being able to obtain this set was already their luck. "By the way, nobody asked you about these things you brought out?"

Though they had an introduction letter from the village to collect textbooks at the recycling station, bringing out so many books just like that seemed too unbelievable.

"The recycling station keeper is the village head’s uncle. He said we can go there to search for more things in the future." What made Zhao Gang happier was, "He said he would pay attention in the future and set things aside for us."

"He also regretted not knowing us earlier, otherwise, he would have saved more good stuff for us." Recalling the good things Li Jianjun said had been destroyed, his heart ached in various ways.

Gong Ruini’s heart was also aching; such destruction was like throwing away money. Although she might get more good things in the future, for that, she would have to go outside. Staying here, good things were truly hard to come by.

If they were in Beijing right now, how wonderful it would be. Gong Ruini would definitely frequent the recycling station, constantly searching for treasures. But alas.

Though the space was a bit disappointing, it was quite good used as a safe warehouse, though unfortunately, this warehouse was also destined to face difficulties in completing tasks.

While eating, Gong Ruini considered whether she should encourage Gong Tao and them to go out to acquire things. With the good haul this time, they would likely be tempted.

But yes, they really suffered this trip, and spring was approaching, so they might not agree.

More importantly, even if they wanted to go elsewhere because they were tempted, they might not take her, which left Gong Ruini helplessly abandoning the idea.

Cai Meina was really fed up with Gong Tao. Clearly starving, yet refusing to stop tidying the wood. "Let’s sort it out tomorrow. The wood won’t run away."

With such dirty wood, who would want it? Only her husband would treat it like treasure.

"Don’t rush me, I know. Just a little more and I’m done." As it was finally about to be finished, how could Gong Tao be willing to stop? "Wife, just let me finish, I’ll be done in no time."

Yet again with the "in no time," Cai Meina had lost count of how many times she’d heard that from Gong Tao.

Cai Meina wanted to lose her temper once more when she heard Gong Tao say quietly, "Don’t disturb me. I know I’m hungry, but I won’t be at ease if I don’t clear this wood today."

Knowing that nobody would care about the wood outside, he still felt uneasy. "I told you, I’d give you a surprise."

Cai Meina knew that no matter how much she threw a tantrum, Gong Tao wouldn’t listen, and could only helplessly go back inside. In any case, she indicated that if he didn’t give her a surprise, she would definitely not give him a good face.

No, it wasn’t that she’d give a good face if there was a surprise; she would definitely not give a good face.

This guy was getting more and more out of line, really not taking care of his body. Even if he discovered something good, without a healthy body, it was all for naught.

Gong Tao had no idea that his wife was planning to give him a good scolding. He was busy trying to finish his work and then return for dinner, as his stomach was already growling, making it difficult for him to work.
