Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 54 - 53 Worry
Chapter 54: Chapter 53 Worry
Sleeping on the warm kang bed, Gong Ruini felt that life was all kinds of comfortable.
No pressure from homework, no pressure from the workplace where you need to please people, Gong Ruini just wanted to sleep a little more.
Isn’t it said that women are made of water, apart from drinking more water, taking more rest is also a critical issue.
As a girl who aspires to become a little beauty, Gong Ruini believes sleeping more is good for the skin.
Cai Meina washed all the family’s clothes and took them to the vegetable garden in the adjacent room to hang up, then returned to the house to find Gong Ruini sound asleep.
At first, Cai Meina was quite startled to see Gong Ruini sleeping past ten every day, continuing a three-hour nap after lunch, and going to bed early at night.
Though it’s good for children to sleep more, this seemed a bit excessive, Cai Meina nearly forgot if Gong Ruini slept this much when she was an infant.
Luckily, with a doctor in the house, after Zhan Jing took her pulse and concluded everything was fine, Cai Meina was relieved.
Even so, Cai Meina still didn’t want Gong Ruini to do nothing but sleep. There were three older brothers around, especially Zhao Guangran, such a resilient child, why couldn’t Gong Ruini be a bit more active?
A lively child, who can run, jump, and eat well, shows good health, whereas a child who is either lazily lounging on the kang reading a book, listening to adults chat, or sleeping, is that a good thing?
Even for a girl, it’s not ideal, Cai Meina was really troubled, everyone else worried about their child being too active, but she was concerned about her child being too quiet.
Gong Ruini yawned and woke from another round of slumber, "Mom, I’m hungry."
Being a kid at this time, the happiest thing is not having to do any work, waking up and smiling sweetly at your parents, telling them you’re hungry.
Even though she’d always receive Cai Meina’s displeased and disapproving glances, she’d still be served a bowl of breakfast each time.
As for Gong Tao, he’s definitely the doting father, who would strive to fulfill any of Gong Ruini’s wishes.
No matter Cai Meina’s discontent, she could only go to the kitchen to serve some food, "You should get up after eating, it’s snowing outside."
Cai Meina, who came from the South, had never seen snow in her life. Just now, seeing the snowflakes adorning the sky, she was thrilled, though uneasiness quickly followed.
As their green vegetables were growing well, it was not far from the first harvest, and just when everyone expected some yield, it started snowing.
Delivering goods in this kind of weather would be various kinds of inconvenient, going out on a snowy day isn’t easy.
Snowing? Oh my, Gong Ruini was thrilled, for days the weather had been gloomy, both Zhao Gang and Zhao Xuran had said it was about to snow, making the Southern-born Gong Ruini eagerly anticipate.
In her past life, Gong Ruini who had visited many places skiing was eagerly looking forward to experiencing the thrill of gliding on snow again.
But the snow delayed and delayed, leaving Gong Ruini gradually disappointed, "It’s really snowing, what about my brothers?"
At this time, Gong Ruini realized there wasn’t the excited shout of Zhao Guangran at home, normally he’s the loudest, ever since he got his voice back, he’s been raising his voice often, to show his voice was fine.
"Them? They must have gone out to play." Cai Meina didn’t restrict Gong Ruwen here, as long as it wasn’t a dangerous place, she gave him a green light all the way.
Anyway, with Zhao Xuran watching, nothing would happen, and since Gong Ruwen came here for a short time, they could clearly see he grew taller and sturdier, making the mom happier.
Oh, perhaps Zhao Guangran went to find his playmates, honestly, that guy is too childish, always thinking he should be the leader among the kids.
Fortunately, Zhao Guangran often wanders around the village, not staying home to be an eyesore, which made Gong Ruini relieved, maybe there’s some influence from her elder brother.
"Why not wait for your brother to come back this afternoon and take you out to play?" Cai Meina asked cautiously, in case the daughter didn’t go out because she didn’t want to play with a bunch of boys, that’s fine, there are girls in the village too.
Go out and play? Gong Ruini finished her last mouthful of porridge; porridge cooked in a big pot tasted all kinds of good, "I’m not going, I’ll stay at home." Even though winters in Northeast aren’t very cold, not the bone-chilling kind.
But the temperature was below zero, Gong Ruini didn’t feel like walking to the village to frolic with the girls and boys; the games they played were too childish.
Gong Ruini figured as an adult, she should play more advanced games such as skiing, or dog sledding and similar activities.
She wondered if her father could make a simple snowboard, no, it’s more promising to expect Uncle Zhao to do so, as her father didn’t have that level of skill.
Upon hearing her daughter didn’t want to go out to play, Cai Meina automatically understood it as her daughter wanting to continue snoozing at home, and though it was cold outside, staying home was also quite comfortable.
But as a child, shouldn’t she be going outside to romp around a little? No, she couldn’t let the child stay at home.
Cai Meina could foresee that if she didn’t intervene, likely the daughter would spend the whole winter gorging and sleeping, not expecting her to step outside until the flowers bloom in spring.
"Aren’t you going out, planning to stay at home?" Cai Meina controlled her tone, not to frighten the girl.
Something was amiss, Gong Ruini’s animal instinct resurfaced again, "No, I’m waiting for Uncle Zhao to come back, I want to ask if he can make a board for sliding on the snow."
Seeing as her recent lethargy made her mother somewhat intolerant, it was just as well that Gong Ruini also wanted to go out and play.
While the snow wasn’t heavy, they could prepare the tools and go out and play wildly when the snow got thicker.
She just wondered if by the time Cai Meina and others realized how exuberantly she could play, they’d regret ever agreeing to let her out.
Just a pity that there’s not enough time; otherwise, training the dogs thoroughly would make them great helpers for sled pulling.
Even if these local dogs were trained, they might not perform excellently, Gong Ruini could only console herself this way.
Upon hearing her daughter agreed to ask Zhao Gang to make something, and planned to play with it outside, Cai Meina knew the girl was probably intrigued.
Isn’t that right? What child wouldn’t want to play outside?
Seeing a now sunny Cai Meina, Gong Ruini breathed a huge sigh of relief, considering the matter now passed.
