Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten
Chapter 1038 - 1040: Reunion Dinner
When the Cai Guoqing family was cursing at the door, Cai Ming also got wind of their actions through a call from Gao Dalin.
Honestly, Cai Ming really didn’t expect Cai Guoqing to choose New Year’s Eve to show up.
"Do they think I’ll soften because of the holiday?" Cai Ming truly couldn’t comprehend.
Weren’t they supposed to be leaving? How could they dally for so long?
Miao Dashan and others also found it quite strange, "When we left, we heard they were packing to go to Beijing."
Miao Dashan couldn’t understand what there was to pack in such a rundown home.
Packing? That is possible, Cai Ming recalled his stingy father’s temperament, "Good thing they are willing to pack, otherwise they’d be stuck."
Now they left first, and Cai Guoqing and his family only reached Beijing later; even if there are some gossips, at least no one would say he was excessive.
What Cai Ming was worried about at the moment was, "Will they really catch the other party?"
"Whether they have money or not, do they have enough to eat, drink, and live in Beijing for a few days?" Zhao Gang didn’t believe Cai Guoqing would be frugal on the way.
"They plan to dig some meat off you once they get to Beijing," Zhao Gang didn’t mention that he had arranged people at the train station these days.
Before Cai Ming received the call, Zhao Gang had already heard from informants that as soon as they got off the train, Cai Guoqing snatched all the money from Cai Zhiheng’s hand to eat out.
More importantly, the money made by the old couple didn’t even cover their share of food, so they stupidly sat guarding the luggage at the train station, then carried the luggage on an empty stomach for such a long walk,
For such people, Zhao Gang didn’t feel pity was needed, there were outcries along the way but Cai Zhiheng just blamed the others for meddling.
Zhao Gang was speechless about such foolishness.
"Their purpose of coming to Beijing is clear." Cai Ming mulled over it and finally decided to tell Cai Meina about Gao Dalin’s call.
Cai Meina’s first thought was, "Does dad know whether he ate?"
It’s New Year’s Eve, even when times were tough, they’d have a big dinner for New Year.
Talking about New Year’s Eve dinner, Cai Ming couldn’t help but remember the lively scenes of New Year’s Eve dinners during his childhood.
"Forget it, it’s his choice, I just want to know what he plans to do." Although Zhao Gang wasn’t clear, he got the implied message: they probably have no money.
Gong Ruini hadn’t received news of Cai Guoqing arriving in Beijing for so long, she thought they’d move after the New Year.
Who’d have thought they’d choose New Year’s Eve to come to Beijing, "They really know how to calculate."
Zhao Xuran was also speechless, "They’re determined, even if Uncle doesn’t want to take them in, they can still make a scene."
Kicking out parents who came to Beijing to reunite with their son on New Year’s Eve, now that’s juicy news.
Especially since it’s the New Year, you couldn’t forcibly send them back, "Looks like whoever came up with this plan had it all figured out."
Gong Ruwen kept sighing, luckily Gong Ruzhi and the kids knew the house in Hainan was ready, so they made a fuss about wanting to spend New Year on Hainan Island.
"If we stayed in Beijing..." Gong Ruwen really couldn’t imagine what the New Year’s Eve dinner at home would be like.
Especially recalling the last time they saw the Cai family eating, Gong Ruwen really lost her appetite.
"The New Year’s Eve dinner would become a disaster, and they’d even snatch my stuff." Gong Ruzhi couldn’t help recalling unpleasant memories.
"They’d complain about not getting red envelopes from mom and dad, complain about not getting new clothes."
"Complain about having no money."
"Complain that we look down on them."
"Complain that we didn’t prepare a place for them to live."
"Sigh, in short, it’s just complaints." Gong Ruzhi had a helpless face, "If they really stay in Beijing, maybe I should consider going abroad."
Brother Guangran already went abroad, Brother Jiaming is going as well, and if their little follower Wan Yihui goes abroad with Aunt, he’d be the only one left here, just imagine how boring that’d be.
So it’s best if he goes abroad too, but he knows it’s unlikely, at least if he can’t finish high school here, he should go abroad with Sister Ni Zi.
This made Gong Ruzhi a bit upset, Brother Guangran said only by going abroad earlier can you see more and better sights.
"Going abroad? Do you have money?" Gong Ruini understood her brother’s thoughts, it’s not about Cai family ties, it’s just that he thinks there’s nothing interesting here.
Or maybe the letters from Zhao Guangran lured them in, one by one getting enamored.
Money? "I have money." Gong Ruzhi said money isn’t the issue, "I can work for Brother Guangran."
"Plus Brother Guangran said I can work part-time there." Gong Ruzhi said these aren’t issues.
Part-time work? Did Zhao Guangran’s letters really mean he’s working in the United States? "He means if you don’t have money and just go, it’s going to be hard."
Gong Ruini had watched later dramas, something like A Native of Beijing in New York, though it was television, some parts were realistic and fitting.
"What do you think you can do as a kid? Being a waiter requires good language skills, otherwise, there are no tips."
"Maybe you’d become a dishwasher."
A dishwasher? No way, those greasy things, Gong Ruzhi shook his head repeatedly; he wouldn’t do such work, not even at home.
See, he’s already complaining before even working; if he actually worked, it’d be unimaginable.
"So you need to think about what you’d do in the United States, you should at least not go washing dishes." Gong Ruini wasn’t reassured about him leaving at this time.
He was really too young, and his nature unpredictable; it could be said he’s not settled yet. Gong Ruini hoped he could be more stable before leaving.
As for whether Zhao Guangran is in the United States, that’s not the issue, even though his age is a bit older, if he goes wild, without someone to calm him, unexpected things could happen.
Washing dishes? Sigh, his sister didn’t get what he was trying to express, "Brother Guangran isn’t entering the finance industry later, I can assist him."
"Besides, sis, dishwashing only pays so much an hour, we wouldn’t take such a job."
"Mental work earns the most, Brother Guangran has calculated, as long as our investments are good, making money is easy." Humph, we don’t have time for that.
But we have Brother Guangran, he’ll definitely tell us.
Even got a team ready, must’ve included Gong Jiaming, seems like Zhao Guangran plans to make a killing in the stock market.
Hope Zhao Guangran can earn big money, so she can relax a bit more.
