Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten

Ah, let them be responsible for distributing the gifts? Ban Xia and Zisu were stunned.

Zhan Banxia was truly incredulous, "Us?"

That’s strange. Isn’t this the best time to bond with the Zhuge Clan? Why would Master Grandpa be unwilling to step forward?

Moreover, Zhan Banxia was actually quite anxious. What if those people don’t give him, such a little kid, any face?

Zhan Zisu was utterly terrified. He still remembered when Master Grandpa introduced them to the Zhuge Family, and the looks directed toward the brothers were far from favorable.

Now facing them again, he wondered if they’d have a different expression welcoming them.

"Don’t be nervous." Seeing Zhan Banxia’s tense expression, Cai Xingjuan felt a bit regretful. What if Banxia gets scared? And what if things go wrong?

"Hong Jie, you should keep an eye on them. If there’s an issue, lend a hand."

After Zhuge Hongjie learned that Zhan Banxia and the others would be replacing Zhuge Zhi, he knew he’d definitely be involved.

Even though he’s in a supporting role, he was rather happy, "Sure, Granny Cai, rest assured, I’ll certainly assist Banxia and the others well."

Zhuge Hongjie always knew his position, and that’s as the junior to Zhan Banxia and the others.

Not to mention before joining, Zhuge Hongjie had no such thought, but after joining and seeing Banxia and the others’ terrifying learning abilities, he truly didn’t feel the least bit envious.

If the gap wasn’t so vast, perhaps someone might feel all kinds of resentment, but now he genuinely has no desire to feel displeased, simply because the gap isn’t just a little wide.

"If someone says unpleasant things, don’t take them seriously." Whatever those people might think privately, they definitely wouldn’t openly criticize Banxia and the others here, but the same could not be said for Zhuge Hongjie.

Let them make a fuss; Zhuge Hongjie hopes those people would cause a good commotion. After all, he won’t be the one at a disadvantage.

Although Zhuge Zhi didn’t react when the clan elders swallowed what he owed the clan members, it wouldn’t just end like that, would it? Zhuge Zhi certainly wouldn’t see it that way.

After all, so much time had passed, and suddenly saying they want to settle with those people could trigger quite a storm. But if the opportunity is right, they certainly wouldn’t just let it go.

Watching Zhan Banxia and the others proudly set off to distribute gifts to the Zhuge Family, Zhao Guangran was moved.

Zhao Guangran had long wanted to sneak out and see how angry Zhuge Mingshan would get while cleaning, if she’d throw a fit. But Zhao Xuran and the others kept suppressing him, making him itch with anticipation.

Thinking of sneaking out to see if there was anything interesting, but his elder brother had assigned so much homework, he really didn’t dare step out. Otherwise, there’d be consequences.

But now things were different. If he didn’t step out, he truly would miss his chance. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Ni Zi, do you want to see Zhuge Mingshan’s furious face?" Humph, though his big brother is the eldest, Zhao Guangran knows where his brother’s weakness lies.

He thought about pleasing his cold-hearted brother, whose heart is harder than stone, but found it better to humor Gong Ruini. As long as there’s something interesting, she’s sure to go watch.

The angry look of Zhuge Mingshan, Gong Ruini said she’s seen it before, "Have you finished your homework?"

Fortunately, she wasn’t chosen to be cross. But if she saw Zhuge Hongjie manage to replace Zhuge Zhi and foster good relations with the clan members, could she control it?

Homework? Zhao Guangran had been babbling about Zhuge Mingshan’s affairs, but upon hearing the word ’homework,’ he immediately fell silent; for him, this word was truly his Achilles heel.

Zhao Guangran really couldn’t understand how his grades made getting into a prestigious junior high school not problematic at all, so why was his family so insistent?

"If it’s not done, go do it." With no reply from him, Zhao Xuran didn’t even need to look at his brother’s reaction to know he was likely too busy playing.

Since they had all agreed on it from the start, there was no reason he could back out.

555, so unfair, his big brother really didn’t consider others, "Alright then."

Regretful, had he known it would be like this, he should’ve studied well in the beginning. At least now, he wouldn’t be rushing to finish homework due to such pressure; it’s exhausting.

Zhao Guangran couldn’t go right away, but Gong Ruini could. She had finished her winter homework within two days of the vacation, leaving only a few essays unwritten.

It’s not that Gong Ruini couldn’t write; she definitely knew how, but she wanted to observe everyone’s reactions properly before writing.

"How about we go watch the fun together?" After suppressing Zhao Guangran, Zhao Xuran invited her.

Uh, Zhao Xuran would take her first? Gong Ruini was shocked; in the past, Zhao Xuran always tried to make things fairly balanced between the two of them, so how could he suddenly strive for fairness now? What’s going on?

"If everyone enjoys the same treatment, who would want to progress? Otherwise, under the scenario where doing well doesn’t earn rewards while doing poorly does, who would be willing to innovate?" Otherwise, if things aren’t sorted out, the punishment that follows would certainly frighten people to death.

Thus, the best way is not to change anything and just go on living like this.

"Alright, alright." Gong Ruini felt very satisfied with this, that’s how things should be. As for what Zhao Guangran might think, it’s not her concern.

"You all go ahead." Gong Ruwen wasn’t interested in these things, thought it better to read a book, and at the same time, could supervise Zhao Guangran.

Ah, seriously? Why wouldn’t Gong Ruwen go watch the fun? Zhao Guangran was rushing to finish homework as he planned to complete it early so he could go watch the fun; as for the quality, he didn’t give much thought.

But is it possible now? Zhao Guangran really felt the sinister intent, but could he protest? Wasting time arguing with his uncle about these things was better than thinking about how to earn money in the future.

"Okay." Gong Ruini really felt apologetic. She thought she’d take Gong Ruwen away but couldn’t believe he didn’t want to go out.

Gong Ruini could only throw an apologetic glance at Zhao Guangran, hoping the latter would understand.

The problem is Zhao Guangran wouldn’t forgive her, "All those annoying people, don’t they realize such simple issues don’t require me to step in?"

"Finding it easy, huh?" Gong Ruwen, with a look of sudden enlightenment, fished out a book filled with math problems, "Let’s study how to solve them together."

Study this together? Zhao Guangran nonchalantly grabbed Gong Ruwen’s book, but upon seeing it, he was taken aback, "I, um, actually, what I meant was, I’m rather slow, let me study it gradually."

"Oh." Gong Ruwen continued to bury himself in the book, truly admiring those folks who managed to solve these high-difficulty problems, genuinely impressive.
