Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 710 - 712: Gossip is Also Very Useful

Cao Na looked at the bag of specially gifted rice they brought back with them, "Let’s keep it and eat together."

"Eat what? Just send it back with the car in a few days and write a letter to your family." Gong Ruini worried that if her own father sent a bag of rice to their doorstep, it probably wouldn’t be accepted.

They would probably only accept it after seeing a letter from Cao Na, otherwise they’d think it’s a gift.

Ah, sending it back, is that okay? Cao Na was worried it would trouble Gong Ruini, especially Zhao Guangran, that guy is always fussing over one thing or another.

"This is from Uncle Village Chief, you can promote Northeast rice in the future." Silly girl, but perhaps it’s to prevent any favors that might be asked later.

Promote Northeast rice, huh, Cao Na breathed a sigh of relief; she always remembered her parents’ advice not to sell out the family for small favors, "Is it really okay?"

"It’s fine, don’t worry." Sigh, both being second-generation, how can there be such a gap.

Cao Na stared at Gong Ruini for a long time, "Then I’ll accept it. I saw that Uncle Jian Country’s family has a student, I’ll have my family mail some high school review materials."

Cao Na wasn’t someone who liked to owe favors. If it were Gong Ruini and her people, she wouldn’t be so calculative; there’d always be a chance to repay in the future. But it was different here; maybe she wouldn’t come next year.

This was something Gong Ruini wouldn’t get involved in, and the gift was given straight to the heart. It’s often said that children of the second generation are not simple; look at this one. Even though it was just a meal, she observed so much, which is quite impressive.

If in the past Gong Ruini was a bit smug, thinking she was some kind of time traveler and was so formidable, it was initially when she bumped her head on Zhao Xuran’s stone, and then hit the rock again here with Cao Na.

As a time traveler, Gong Ruini felt she had many places to work on; in short, she must chase up and catch up well.

"What’s wrong?" Cao Na found it strange not getting Gong Ruini’s consent after waiting for a while, only to find an odd expression on Gong Ruini’s face, which seemed strange.

"Nothing really, I just think you’re awesome." If there’s something lacking, just say it, no need to be embarrassed.

Zhao Guangran finished his bath and came to call the girls for their turn, only to hear Gong Ruini saying someone was awesome, which surprised him.

Knowing Gong Ruini for so long, he’d never seen her admire someone, except her brother, who was definitely awesome.

In Zhao Guangran’s view, the next awesome person Gong Ruini would mention wouldn’t come any time soon. Who would’ve thought she’d mention it, but it wasn’t about him, it was about Cao Na.

Come on, what’s so good about Cao Na, Zhao Guangran really didn’t understand why Gong Ruini would say that; in his eyes, Cao Na couldn’t be better than him.

"Ni Zi, why did you say Cao Na is awesome?" This won’t do, he had to get it clear, or he wouldn’t rest in peace.

"Yeah, yeah." Cao Na also didn’t understand why Gong Ruini thought she was awesome; in her view, there was really nothing she had that could make Gong Ruini think she was awesome.

"Your observation skills." Gong Ruini was frustrated. Sigh, you finally call someone awesome and Zhao Guangran overhears it.

The most embarrassing thing is, he keeps asking nonstop. Sigh, so embarrassing, but even if it’s embarrassing, I have to say it.

Ah, really, just because of this Cao Na is awesome, Zhao Guangran was stunned, "I’m awesome too, I know too."

Zhao Guangran was devastated; he always thought that if someone were to be called awesome by Gong Ruini, they should be as amazing as his brother, used as a benchmark. Who would’ve thought something like this could also make Gong Ruini call someone awesome, really a loss.

No, he wanted Gong Ruini to say he was awesome.

Listening to Zhao Guangran talking about what he knew, Gong Ruini’s face twitched, "Is this observation skill?"

"This is gossip; you heard it from someone else." Gong Ruini really wanted to say if Zhao Guangran didn’t go and be a paparazzo, it’d be such a pity; his imagination is so rich.

Gossip? Does she mean gossipy? Zhao Guangran had already started to auto-interpret meanings, back in the day, he would’ve been anxious, thinking Gong Ruini didn’t value him enough, but now, he wasn’t anxious.

"Someone has to tell you all this, right? I’m telling you, even if it was my brother, he wouldn’t know so much information."

Zhao Guangran pointed to himself, "Only I can know."

"Even in Beijing I can know so much, see if my brother can?"

Zhao Guangran thought more and more, finally finding something he was better at than his big brother, "I have to go tell my brother."

Such good news, I have to let my brother know, otherwise, he’ll always think I’m not good enough, not considering how capable my big brother is, how bad could I be.

"By the way, you can take a bath now." Although eager to share how awesome he is with his brother, he still didn’t forget to notify about the bath.

Cao Na was stunned, "He... he..." It was really the first time she’d seen Zhao Guangran be so gossipy.

It’s not that she hadn’t seen Zhao Guangran hear people talk, but in Cao Na’s view, it was people telling Zhao Guangran those things, who would’ve thought he’d take the initiative to find out.

Oh my God, Cao Na was dumbfounded, "Has he always been like that?"

Cao Na really wanted to say, going out with Gong Ruini and them really exceeded her expectations in many ways.

"Yes, but it’s precisely because of his gossiping that we haven’t been schemed against." Gong Ruini was also quite grateful for having someone who loved gossiping, otherwise, they might have really been schemed against by Zhuge Mingshan.

Even though Gong Ruini often talks about how Zhao Guangran is, when it comes down to it, she’s protective of him and won’t let others discuss Zhao Guangran.

"Mm." Cao Na saw that Gong Ruini didn’t want her to discuss more about Zhao Guangran being gossipy, so she kept quiet; though they often bickered, when dealing with outsiders, they were unified.

Even blood relatives might not be so united; Cao Na was genuinely a bit envious of Gong Ruini.

However, this way of getting along probably only comes from growing up together, right? If Gong Ruini knew, she would definitely say Cao Na was overthinking it, as she surrounded Zhao Xuran because she knew he had potential.

If not for the time-travel connection, no way would a time traveler with such pride be willing to do this, maybe some would think of recruiting Zhao Xuran to let his family create profits.

Gong Ruini wanted to say those who think like this are making it way too easy on themselves, is Zhao Xuran that easy to recruit? Though he’s young, he’s very thoughtful; if he knows someone has such plans, he definitely won’t interact.

As for Zhan Jing, her aim was more solid, which was to set up Shiyu Hall and expand the Black Ointment inherited from the previous generation, never thinking of using outsiders, Zhuge Zhi included.

Under such circumstances, no matter how powerful a time traveler might be, so what; being a time traveler doesn’t mean you’re omnipotent.

Especially if the person is a nobody, really expecting them to turn amazing after time-traveling is far-fetched; time-traveling isn’t omnipotent.
