Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 924 - 926: A Letter Arrives
The house is crowded, and Miao Cuihua goes all out when preparing New Year goods. In short, it’s just one word, buy, buy, buy.
Especially Cai Meina, who also loves to shop. When the two meet, they are absolutely thrilled.
Every day, Cai Meina drives Miao Cuihua around non-stop, especially when they see some food items they haven’t had in a while, their mouths water.
Gong Ruini looks at Cai Meina, who returns with bags upon bags once again, feeling speechless, "Mom, why did you buy so many things?"
There are a lot of people, nine between the two families, but how much can they really eat? It’s not like the old days when seeing food made them excited.
"These are for bringing back home; your uncle and Aunt Zhan will surely love them."
"We’ll take them all back since we’re driving this time," Cai Meina has done her homework; both the trunk and the car interior can be filled.
Heavens, no way, Gong Ruini is stunned. Has Mom forgotten one thing, "We have to take Sister Xiao Xin with us."
The car is already a bit cramped with five people, adding two more people suddenly is overloading. Luckily, the traffic police aren’t strict about this now, or we’d be fined all the way back to Beijing.
Even though there’s no fine, it’s still suffocating to have so many squeezed inside.
"You don’t know, do you? Your third uncle will be driving to Beijing too." Otherwise, how could Cai Meina buy so many things?
Aha, to take Gong Jiaming and the others to Beijing. Isn’t he busy helping Gong Jiaming with school transfer procedures?
"Your third uncle has already sorted everything out. Look at him," Cai Meina can’t help but feel that the hometown is better, fewer rich people, and with some connections, things can get done.
If it were in Beijing, this matter definitely wouldn’t be resolved so quickly.
Aha, it’s all settled, and my third uncle moves so fast. It seems the third uncle must have some tasks to do in Beijing.
"This time, your aunt is going to check on our products over there. If they’re good, she’ll start doing business there." Although the factory is still under construction, some equipment has already been moved in.
Wan Qiweng found a factory that wasn’t busy and rented a workshop, hired some people, and started production.
The original plan was to produce a lot first for better promotion later, but unexpectedly, after a trip back home, it’s all been solved already.
How impressive. Before, when Miao Cuihua did business, she worried a lot and was cautious. But now, she doesn’t bother with worries and just focuses on good projects that can make money.
Miao Cuihua smiles joyfully, "Not doing business, I feel uncomfortable."
"And rather than constantly worrying about your uncle being unfaithful, it’s better for me to enrich myself. Oh, Ni Zi, you’re a reader, what kind of books do you suggest I read?" Miao Cuihua asks humbly.
Ah, asking which type of books to read? Didn’t she say she often reads at night? Are they all novels?
Gong Ruini casually mentioned a few books, "When we go to Beijing, my uncle has them, you can take them back to read."
These are books she recommended based on what Cai Ming read. Although Gong Ruini thinks reading them is useless, they’re theoretical things; if the authors were so great, why don’t they do business themselves?
Gong Ruini can only think this in her heart; otherwise, it would seem she doesn’t respect knowledge if she speaks it out.
Miao Cuihua was just about to take out a pen to jot down these book titles and then go to a bookstore. Unexpectedly, Gong Ruini straightforwardly said Cai Ming has them in Beijing, which delighted Miao Cuihua.
She admires Cai Ming, even though his foundation for success greatly relied on having a strong, capable wife. But if he wasn’t capable himself, how could he impress her or her family?
Books Cai Ming read are definitely good ones, she wonders if there are notes in them, Miao Cuihua thinks expectantly.
"Just take a look at those books. Actually, it’s better if you discuss things well with Gong Zhuang." Cai Meina has seen those books and doesn’t consider them great, but since Miao Cuihua is serious and wants to improve, she can’t discourage her.
Uh, what does this mean? Miao Cuihua feels a bit confused.
"Discussing more with people who do business shows you many things worth learning, and you’ll improve more. Books, reading a lot might not be useful."
"Of course, it’s better than reading novels. Personally, I think reading the Thirty-six Stratagems or The Art of War, those strategy books, is better. Cai Ming reads these whenever he has time," Cai Meina says frankly.
Making Miao Cuihua read the Thirty-six Stratagems, Gong Ruini really dares not look at Miao Cuihua’s expression; it must be sheer confusion.
Cai Ming is a college graduate and feels dizzy reading these, after years he finally started understanding.
Making Miao Cuihua read these, Gong Ruini is really worried it might confuse her more.
Miao Cuihua doesn’t overthink; her sister-in-law is a good person and wouldn’t trap her. "Okay, I’ll go buy them right away."
This is too obedient, Gong Ruini is dumbfounded, it’s as if Cai Meina’s words are law, with no questions asked.
Miao Cuihua is someone who acts on her words; she pulls Cai Meina to the bookstore, leaving Gong Ruini swaying in the wind.
"A letter." Gong Tao returns to the room with a conflicted face, seeing Gong Ruini’s silly expression, which seems odd.
"Brother, do you know what aunt is up to?" Gong Ruini is really worried whether Miao Cuihua might get herself into a complex situation, so she grabs Gong Ruwen to tell the whole story.
Is reading these books problematic? Gong Ruwen doesn’t understand why his sister is so tense. "Relax, it depends on each person’s understanding. Everyone has different thoughts after different experiences at different times."
"So don’t be anxious, and I don’t think aunt will think too much." For a simple person, reading these books might not engage too many brain cells.
Gong Ruwen is actually worried about, "You should worry she might read them as storybooks."
In Gong Ruwen’s view, that’s the biggest concern. If she reads for a long time without any effect, would she think her mother is bluffing? 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Well, Gong Ruini hasn’t thought that far, but considering Miao Cuihua’s character, it’s really possible, so forget about it, why think so much?
"Brother, is that a letter for uncle?" Aren’t letters outdated in this age, how come someone is writing a letter this close to New Year?
The sister doesn’t know? Gong Ruwen is a bit surprised, seems it’s someone’s personal idea.
"It’s for you." He hands the letter to Gong Ruini.
Ah, a letter for her? Gong Ruini’s first reaction is, "From Brother Xuran?"
Besides her, really can’t think of anyone else writing her a letter. Even if someone remembers her, they don’t know this address. If she receives a phone call, Gong Ruini feels her social network isn’t bad.
