Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 69 - 68: Legacy (5th Update)

Gong Ruini looked at Zhan Jing with an expression of disbelief, feeling extremely shaken inside.

Knowing that their time interacting with Zhan Jing was neither long nor short, she always felt Zhan Jing was a gentle and reasonable person.

Unexpectedly, she managed to refresh her understanding of her.

Before, Gong Ruini always wondered how Zhao Gang and his principled wife could give birth to someone like Zhao Guangran who was so shameless.

Turns out it’s not a genetic mutation, but rather an inheritance.

It’s just that Zhan Jing hides it well, while Zhao Guangran is more outgoing, making it obvious at first glance that this kid is quite silly.

Though Gong Ruini often had various disagreements with him, he often followed her around.

Looking at Zhan Jing’s combat power, it is amazing, but Zhao Guangran can’t do the same shameless combat at times, why not?

Whether it was Zhao Guangran always noticing Gong Ruini’s actions or that her movements were too obvious, Zhao Guangran discovered what was going on.

"What?" Why keep staring at him? He hasn’t done anything yet.

Gong Ruini chuckled, "It’s nothing." She couldn’t naively ask why he doesn’t have his mother’s combat power, could she?

Zhan Jing actually felt a bit annoyed, she was used to dealing with Zhao Gang before, and seeing her own kid was no big deal, she didn’t pay much attention.

But she forgot there were Gong Family members present, and while other reactions were dismissible, why was Gong Ruini’s reaction so peculiar?

Did she see through something?

Zhan Jing really wanted to rescue her son a bit, but she had no way, she was too embarrassed at the moment.

Even though Gong Ruini said it was nothing, she continued as usual, especially seeing Zhao Guangran’s various anger but unable to deal with her, which made Gong Ruini very happy.

Zhao Xuran reached out to stop Gong Ruini’s shaking head, "Alright, if you have energy, do more when it’s time to make ice later."

If they keep staring, he was afraid his little brother might lose it, and more importantly, his mother might feel all kinds of shame.

Although Zhao Xuran was surprised at first, upon thinking about it, it made sense, it was hard for his mom to keep disguising all along.

Might as well show it earlier, to prevent her from feeling stifled.

Especially when wearing a mask for a long time only makes people’s impressions of her more fixed, which is not beneficial.

Cai Meina knew a little news about Zhan Jing, but she started thinking maybe it was a bit exaggerated.

After seeing it now, she realized it wasn’t exaggerated at all, Zhan Jing was even more charming.

But looking at Zhao Gang’s pleased look, maybe she should try it sometimes too?

Cai Meina noticed the flash of envy in Gong Tao’s eyes earlier, although she felt it’s a bit embarrassing and uncomfortable, but why feel embarrassed in front of your own man?

Anyway, after the kids move out in a few days, trying it won’t matter, after all, only her man would see if it’s embarrassing.

The intimacy between couples can be seen by the kids, fine, but now even seen by friends, Zhao Gang really felt all kinds of embarrassment.

His face turned red, luckily his skin was dark, otherwise he couldn’t face the world.

"Alright, let’s go out to shovel snow, the village just notified us to distribute grain in the afternoon." Zhao Gang said gruffly.

Grain distribution, Gong Tao just oh-ed when he heard it, their family hasn’t been here long, there’s no share for them.

Even if the village really allocated some grain to them, it was borrowed.

Thinking about this, Gong Tao remembered a major issue, "Should I borrow some grain from the village?"

At least play the role thoroughly, can’t let people see the gaps in between.

Borrow grain? Zhao Gang waved his big hand, "You worked too, didn’t we repair village appliances together? Rest assured, it counts as your labor points too."

Although villagers might have small calculations, they respect skilled people, and more importantly, the village gains opportunities to engage with surrounding village communes.

This is something that brings face to the village chief. Although he usually follows along when called to fix appliances, other villages have no choice if the chief holds back.

So giving Gong Tao some benefits is necessary, though no one directly told Zhao Gang, he could estimate it.

Oh, our family can actually get grain? Gong Ruini was surprised, knowing previously she thought the family wouldn’t get anything.

Gong Tao was most surprised, "I can really get grain?"

Gong Tao suspiciously thought, maybe his friends arranged with the village, giving him less but it’s actually his friend’s share.

"Don’t worry, it’s not my share, it’s to lure you, it was the same when I first came too," otherwise, Zhao Gang wouldn’t have stayed here for so many years.

"Actually, there were factories wanting me before but I felt staying in the village is better." If told a factory wanted him, Zhao Gang would’ve been excited to rush there.

But by the time they asked, Zhao Gang adapted to rural life and didn’t want to leave a place where he could eat well, moreover outside was quite chaotic.

If anyone targeted him, Zhao Gang didn’t know what his whole family would do next.

No way, his friend had times like this too? Gong Tao wondered, why wouldn’t he go if he had a chance to a factory?

If it were him, he’d have agreed long ago, after all, working in a factory meant living an urban life.

Gong Tao didn’t know if he’d feel tempted, maybe he would.

"How do you think our lifestyle here is?" Zhao Gang asked an important question.

Isn’t it obvious, we’re eating comfortably here, at least the kids are well-fed, maybe not meat every day but a few times a week.

Yes, that’s the crucial issue, urban people may earn wages but what about food, while haven’t we earned money these days?

Thinking about these days’ earnings, Gong Tao was thrilled, seriously calculating, it matched several months of his income.

Most importantly, all these earnings were pure incomes, with no expenses.

"Indeed it’s better here, I misjudged." Gong Tao admitted that he thought too simplistically before.

"Dad, I don’t want to go to the city." Gong Ruwen worried his dad might agree to go to the city when faced with such opportunities in future.

Although there were many playmates near home before, but being unable to eat well, Gong Ruwen doesn’t want to return to those days.

Although Gong Ruini didn’t express her feelings, her silence in seeing Gong Tao’s expression spoke volumes.

"Rest assured, your dad won’t work in the city." Gong Tao remembered another reason he couldn’t work in the city.

That reason being he is someone sent to the countryside for reeducation, can’t make mistakes.
