Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 76 - 75: Backing is Gone

The warm quilt, with the kang providing a steady stream of heat underneath, made Gong Ruini feel utterly comfortable.

Gong Ruini even dreamed she returned to her life before her journey, able to eat cuisines from all over the world.

She could tease and joke with friends online, make plans to travel and have late-night snacks with them.

"This is what life should be like."

Zhao Xuran walked into the Gong Family’s house and saw the little pig Gong Ruini still asleep on the kang, with no intention of getting up.

Zhao Xuran expressed that such disdain for him has serious consequences.

Zhao Xuran quietly moved to Gong Ruini’s side, ready to pinch her nose to wake her up.

Suddenly, he heard Gong Ruini talk in her sleep, Zhao Xuran found it very strange, what does it mean?

Even though Zhao Xuran didn’t understand, he still unceremoniously reached out and pinched Gong Ruini’s nose.

Gong Ruini realized her initially pleasant dream changed abruptly, turning into a scene where she was falling into the sea and couldn’t breathe, terrifying her nearly to death.

She suddenly opened her eyes and discovered she wasn’t actually dreaming, but someone was pinching her nose.

"Xuran, you..." Gong Ruini’s face reddened, although she could breathe through her mouth, it wasn’t as good as using her nose.

"Awake now." Zhao Xuran thought Gong Ruini’s rosy cheeks were prettier than the most beautiful apple.

"Hmm, why are you in my room?" Didn’t he know men and women should maintain propriety? Gong Ruini was rather angry.

"Calling you to get up, you haven’t forgotten you have to work today, have you?" Zhao Xuran knew Gong Ruini was angry, but it mattered little to him. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Thinking yesterday’s lesson was enough? That’s absolutely impossible; the lesson had to be deeply engraved in their minds.

Work, still have to work, oh God, Gong Ruini really felt like crying, as she was still aching all over from yesterday.

To work in this condition, Gong Ruini really didn’t know what the outcome would be; it would definitely hold things back, but she felt they might be able to finish the task easily today.

"It snowed again overnight; the snow isn’t too heavy now, you two can quickly go out to work." Zhao Xuran saw Gong Ruini’s relieved expression and knew she expected some bad news.

As a good brother, how could such news go unshared?

What, it snowed again overnight? Gong Ruini was stunned; before, she was eagerly hoping for snow so she could go skiing.

If the snow were thicker, she could go ice fishing, but now Gong Ruini truly didn’t want more snow, at least not until they finished their work.

Otherwise, if it keeps snowing non-stop, when can they finish?

Gong Ruini regretted not persisting to finish yesterday’s task; otherwise, she could now be cozy at home watching the snow outside while drinking warm tea, enjoying the view.

In short, having to work in the middle of winter is utterly inhumane — wait, unless there’s no snow?

Gong Ruini swiftly crawled out of bed to check the view outside the window.

As soon as she slightly cracked open the window, Gong Ruini saw a vast world of white snow; the snow they had painstakingly piled yesterday was already covered halfway deep by today’s snow.

"No way." How could it snow so thickly in just one night, leaving Gong Ruini completely dumbfounded?

Most importantly, it’s still snowing outside now — when will this snow ever finish, Gong Ruini truly wanted to cry.

This amount was even more than yesterday’s total, and Gong Ruini felt the world’s harsh malice.

"Are we supposed to do all this work?" Gong Ruini really felt like kneeling, longing for Doraemon.

Gong Ruini genuinely felt there was no end in sight to their labor.

"Yes, that’s why I think you don’t need to sleep; quickly getting up to work is more important." Zhao Xuran wouldn’t say that they don’t have to do as much.

After witnessing her brother keep complaining in bed last night, Zhao Xuran expressed that if he still had the energy, he should do more, saving their father from having to work.

With more family members, they had to earn more money diligently, "Dad and the others left today to sell some greens, so there’s no one at home helping."

No way, did Dad really go to sell greens? Gong Ruini knew their greens, although a bit delicate, had already been harvested several times, and could definitely be eaten.

Gong Ruini remembered her dad hadn’t notified her about this matter yesterday, leaving her feeling rather frustrated, how could such a major event go unmentioned to her, unless she forgot it in her dreams?

Gong Ruini felt that things seemed off — could it be Zhao Xuran deliberately sent them out to avoid the family’s pillar speaking out, worried about the overnight snow?

Facing Gong Ruini’s probing eyes, Zhao Xuran sat steadily, showing no sign of embarrassment, perfectly innocent.

"With New Year’s approaching, the factory should issue some welfare, especially since the greens are growing well, so they must go out to let old customers know."

Exactly, with the extra firewood and other supplies at home, whether it’s the sheep, chickens, or quails, everything was in good shape.

The worm pool nurtured for the chickens’ meals was doing well, though the breeding speed had slowed down.

As long as there were a few worms left, Gong Ruini knew when spring blossoms, plenty of worms would come out.

With ample firewood, Gong Ruini didn’t even dare to enter the vegetable growing room because it was so hot, almost like summer.

Thankfully, they lived close to the mountain; otherwise, chopping wood wasn’t a small task, even with the snow, Zhao Gang and Gong Tao still went into the mountain to collect branches.

What, you say the branches are too wet to use?

That’s hardly a problem; just place them in the vegetable growing room, and in a day’s time, the firewood will dry immediately; it’s a great place to process firewood.

Gong Ruini previously considered moving there after some time, but now seeing their parents’ attitude, it seemed they might not think about relocating.

Wait, Gong Ruini suddenly thought of something, "If the greens sell well and demand is high, will the house we plan to live in be requisitioned?"

Gong Ruini eagerly looked towards Zhao Xuran, regardless of how unreliable she found his character, his information was very dependable; he never lied.

Did this girl overhear something? You should know even Zhao Guangran was unaware of this matter.

Because it was mentioned this morning before Dad and the others went out — having money on hand calms the heart, "I’m not entirely sure either."

What, how could he not know? Gong Ruini was about to go crazy; among the four kids, if anyone knew their parents’ thoughts, it would be Zhao Xuran without a doubt.

Yet, this one person claimed ignorance, how infuriating.

"I really don’t know; we must wait for my dad and them to return to find out." Whether it was stirred by Gong Ruini’s shouting, Zhao Xuran candidly admitted.

If this matter turned out successfully, there might be a new notice tonight.

At that time, if Gong Ruini made a fuss, it would be Uncle Gong’s concern; Zhao Xuran truly didn’t know how to comfort the little girl.
