Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 131: Misunderstanding the Direction

Gong Ruini lay in the warm bed, really not wanting to get up, especially since at this moment, Zhao Guangran should have reached the place to do some treasure hunting.

Gong Ruini turned over, trying not to think too much, because overthinking would only make her feel all sorts of unpleasantness.

But it’s uncertain whether Zhao Guangran still has the energy today; that kid drove through the night to complete Zhao Xuran’s task.

Gong Ruini wasn’t sure about Zhao Xuran’s expression, but he should be a bit displeased, right?

Although Zhao Xuran didn’t say it explicitly, Gong Ruini felt that he didn’t really want Zhao Guangran to go out, hoping he would give up on his own.

Who would’ve thought Zhao Guangran wouldn’t give up even if he had to stay up all night; his stubbornness was out of the ordinary.

"Sister, are you hungry?" Gong Ruwen had actually woken up a long time ago and was sitting in bed looking at things.

Although Zhao Xuran hadn’t started teaching him yet, watching how seriously Gong Ruini and the others were studying yesterday made Gong Ruwen feel a lot of pressure.

His sister was just too smart. Although what Zhao Xuran taught wasn’t difficult, if she weren’t clever, she wouldn’t have learned it so quickly.

Gong Ruini yawned, "I’m okay."

In the Northeast, people usually only eat two meals during winter because it’s cold; everyone wakes up pretty late, also to save some grain.

At Zhao Gang’s place, saving grain isn’t considered. As long as everyone eats happily, then it’s all sorts of eating, but today since Zhao Gang and the others went out, Cai Meina wasn’t feeling that well and said earlier that they would only have two meals today.

"By the way, why is there no noise from Brother Xuran?" Gong Ruini found it strange there was no sound from Zhao Xuran.

She didn’t know if it was because of being the eldest son, but Gong Ruini noticed Zhao Xuran was particularly mature and hardly ever slept in.

Could Zhao Xuran have taken Zhao Guangran out for a drag?

That thought jolted Gong Ruini—if Zhao Xuran also went, who would tell her stories, and importantly, how would she provoke Zhao Guangran.

"Brother Xuran went to accompany Aunt Zhan." Gong Ruwen indicated that Zhao Xuran could not go out; he had to stay home to accompany Zhan Jing.

So he went to accompany Aunt Zhan. Gong Ruini sighed in relief. Since he was at home, listening to the story later was okay, as long as she could say a couple of words.

"Let’s go accompany Aunt Zhan too." Gong Ruwen thought his sister couldn’t stay in bed all the time; moreover, she hadn’t done her homework.

Homework, sigh, no matter how old she was, Gong Ruini could never bear hearing the word homework.

Though there wasn’t much homework, the main issue was Zhao Xuran seemed to think this method was good and planned to use it against them.

If it were used against Zhao Guangran, Gong Ruini would fully support it—it’s just right to provoke Zhao Guangran a bit.

But now it seemed like the method of collective punishment was being executed, and no matter how angry Gong Ruini was, there was no way around it.

"Alright, get up. It’s sunny today. If the weather is good, we can go fishing. How about it?" There didn’t seem to be many fish at home; they could go fishing then.

His sister’s mood was low in various ways. Gong Ruwen thought it must be because Gong Ruini didn’t go out. Although he couldn’t take her to the county town, fishing in the village was also good.

"Actually, the smell inside the waste station is unpleasant." Although there might be treasures inside, it’s all kinds of dirty and messy. Gong Ruwen found it hard to accept.

Instead, the scenery in their village was good, just like Zhao Xuran said, like a beautiful ink and wash painting.

Though to Gong Ruwen, it was just so-so, still better than the waste recycling station.

Can these even be compared? Gong Ruini didn’t think freezing in the cold Northwest wind during winter to fish was appealing, nor did going to the waste station for money, for treasure hunting, to become rich.

Gong Ruini had never heard that fishing could make you rich, "I’m not going."

"Let’s go; it’s boring at home too." Gong Ruini really didn’t want to go, and in Gong Ruwen’s eyes, this meant his sister was not happy about not being able to go out with dad.

As a good brother, he must make his sister happy, "Sister, it’s okay. When the weather is better, we’ll go out with dad then."

Good weather, hehe, by then it would be spring, and then there’d be a lot to do on the farm. How would they go treasure hunting?

Once dad gets a lot of wood, he’ll probably be busy making furniture; where’s the time to go fooling around?

Moreover, after spring, when the roads get easier to travel, everyone will be out, dad and Uncle Zhao should be careful in various ways and not cause any trouble.

They probably wouldn’t even go to the county town that much. It was such a simple truth; she wasn’t dumb, how could she not know?

How could her big brother even coax her like that? Did he really think she’s that stupid?

Please, she really wasn’t a little kid.

555, why is his sister so hard to please, Gong Ruwen was really about to collapse; other people’s younger brothers stop fussing with just a look from their brother.

But as for him being the older brother, he was somewhat afraid of his sister’s gaze, what’s the situation here, how could things be so reversed?

Gong Ruwen felt he had to discuss with Zhao Xuran, he couldn’t always be overshadowed by Gong Ruini, or how could a brother have any authority?

"Alright, bro, I know you’re trying to make me happy. I just think if I go, if something happens, I can help dad." If they really encounter bad people, even if her special space gets exposed, she can’t let anything happen to dad.

As for that kid Zhao Guangran, Gong Ruini was really worried; he was just too restless, not sure if he would mess things up beyond salvage.

Gong Ruini somewhat regretted it, how could she, in order to restrain Zhao Guangran, wish for Zhao Xuran not to go, such misjudgment.

Gong Ruini stated that in the future she shouldn’t be so willful, shouldn’t do foolish things just to suppress Zhao Guangran momentarily.

Not to brag, but when it comes to restraining Zhao Guangran, there are plenty of opportunities. Occasionally letting him show off a bit is fine, otherwise constantly being stomped on would likely make him harbor all sorts of resentment.

"What’s up?" Gong Ruwen was rather helpless with how his sister often zoned out.

"I just wonder if Zhao Guangran will do something stupid." Since Zhao Xuran wasn’t next door, she straightforwardly expressed her concerns about him.

"I just worry about what if Zhao Guangran suddenly has something unhappy happen." Being a female, even Gong Ruini felt Zhao Guangran’s tantrums weren’t fair.

If not for his ideal physique making him seem unlike a girl, Gong Ruini would have thought if he was a girl disguised as a boy; he was just more sensitive than girls.

Unhappy things? Probably not, "Isn’t he eager to go to the waste station?"

"Even if staying up late, he’d get his homework done to go out." If he were still causing trouble like this, Gong Ruwen wouldn’t know what to say.

"The issue is last time there were three of us, this time it’s just him going alone, what if he feels lonely or bored then?" More importantly, what if he does something really stupid and gets scolded by Uncle Zhao?

Could he be unhappy over that? Gong Ruwen wanted to say it’s not like he’s a girl; besides, he should have known it’s just him going alone long ago, but remembering Zhao Guangran’s past tantrums over minor issues made him hesitate.

That made Gong Ruwen a bit unsure, but with Uncle Zhao around, he should be able to keep him in check. Worst case, they could resort to some physical lessons.
