Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 715 - 717: Aunt Must Give Birth to a Younger Brother
Gong Ruini was staring at Wan Qiweng from the side, making her feel quite awkward. ๐ณ๐๐ฒ๐๐จ๐๐ฏ๐๐๐ง๐๐น.๐ฐ๐ผ๐
Wan Qiweng wasnโt inexperienced with big events; sheโs seen bigger gatherings than this.
Itโs not that she hasnโt seen Gong Ruini before, but seeing them today felt different, thinking about the teasing that might happen made her feel strange.
Cai Ming tugged Wan Qiwengโs hand to signal that he was right beside her, "Alright, what do you guys want to do?"
"Nothing, we just wanted to see Auntie, Uncle, you havenโt visited me for a while." Gong Ruini jumped into Cai Mingโs arms.
"Yes, I havenโt visited you for a long time and havenโt given you anything, right?" Cai Ming knew exactly what these kids were thinking.
Hehehe, Gong Ruini giggled foolishly, "Uncle, give us something."
Cai Ming was already prepared, he pulled out a few clothes from the bag beside him, "Here are your clothes."
"Names are written on them."
The siblings Gong Jiaxin stood quietly aside, knowing they wouldnโt be included, since he wasnโt their actual uncle.
Wan Qiweng waved them over, signaling them to take the clothes, "I wasnโt sure what you guys like, so I picked a few styles. If you donโt like them, we can go shopping again this afternoon."
Ah, they were included too, Gong Jiaxinโs siblings were shocked; theyโd never seen Wan Qiweng before, and since they werenโt Cai Mingโs actual nephews and nieces, they felt embarrassed to take them.
"Take them, itโs a gift from my uncle," Gong Ruini nudged aside, since this was the beginning of a cooperation, considered as a foundation.
Gong Jiaxin really liked the clothes; they were so pretty. Wearing them, she felt like a princess, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."
"Auntie, whereโs my gift?" Gong Ruini tucked away her clothes and looked at Wan Qiweng, signaling for her gift.
"You!" Cai Ming knew that she wanted more gifts, "Thatโs all there is."
"Ah, itโs Auntieโs first visit!" Gong Ruini grumbled, "They say men get stingy after having girlfriends, now I know itโs true."
"Alright, you," obviously without giving something good, they wouldnโt be satisfied, "How about letting Auntie take you guys to the foreign trade shop for a stroll?"
Foreign trade shop? Oh my, Gong Ruini certainly knew this shop, as sheโd passed by several times but wasnโt able to enter, not because she didnโt have money, but because she didnโt have a Foreign Exchange Certificate.
Though outside there were people trading Foreign Exchange Certificates discreetly, they were few and the price was high, making it impossible for Gong Ruini to do such foolish things.
Several times she wanted to get some pirated novels published abroad to earn some Foreign Exchange Certificates but she held back, fearing her actions might endanger an innocent person.
Didnโt expect her aunt to actually have Foreign Exchange Certificates, oh my gosh, Gong Ruini was surprised, "Really?"
"Of course, otherwise how would these clothes be bought?" Cai Ming didnโt explain why he had Foreign Exchange Certificates but seeing Gong Ruini and the othersโ cheerful smiles made him joyful too.
Zhao Guangran carefully put away the clothes upon hearing the offer to visit the foreign trade shop, "Are we really going there?"
"Can I buy imported chocolate?"
"Thereโs much delicious food inside, I need to buy milk powder for Xiao Zhi, he should like it." Zhao Guangran talked about his favorite foods, also not forgetting to ask for Gong Ruzhiโs favorite.
Gong Ruzhi kept bouncing beside him, upon hearing his name, "Eat, eat," he stumbled toward them.
Sigh, such a foodie brother, Gong Ruini really didnโt understand how this child grew up, clearly everyone was teaching him to call people like dad, sister, or mom, yet the first and clearest word he learned was "eat." This truly surprised everyone.
Later, no matter how much they taught him other names, "eat" was always the clearest word, it drove everyone crazy, putting this on Zhao Guangranโs shoulders, suggesting if he didnโt keep repeating "eat," Gong Ruzhi wouldnโt have turned out this way.
Zhao Guangran was truly wronged, he secretly taught Gong Ruzhi to call people like brother, never teaching "eat."
Yet now no one cared how he explained, meanwhile Gong Ruzhi, regardless of who talked to him, always wore an innocent look while staring at them, if you spoke longer, he would incessantly go "eat, eat, eat," ultimately nearly driving people crazy.
Cai Ming didnโt know his little nephewโs bad habit, upon hearing him say "eat," his first reaction was, "Wow, Xiao Zhi can talk!"
Even though the child couldnโt speak yet, Cai Ming watched his birth and growth, feeling differently, scooping up Gong Ruzhi, "Call me Uncle."
"Eat, eat, eat." Gong Ruzhi got anxious, after saying it for so long, yet no one paid attention to him.
"Uncle," Cai Ming insisted.
"Eat, eat." Towards the end, Gong Ruzhiโs expression worsened, eventually bursting into a loud cry, frightening Cai Ming, "Xiao Zhi wasnโt like this before."
Know that Xiao Zhi is a cheerful baby, unwilling to cry, yet this time surprisingly crying so much.
Confused, Cai Ming looked at Cai Meina, who gestured not knowing the situation.
This worried Cai Ming, "We canโt let Xiao Zhi cry endlessly."
"Itโs good for children to cry," Cai Meina said cautiously, "Once you become a father, you canโt rush to comfort them just because they cry."
Cai Meina seized the chance to give the brother-in-law couple parenting lessons, with Wan Qiwengโs parents long gone, her own parents practically nonexistent, Cai Meina would lend a hand, but couldnโt stay with the Wan Family forever.
Initially, Cai Ming felt shy, but soon listened earnestly to Cai Meina talk about parenting, being of that age, marrying and becoming a father was quite normal.
Wan Qiweng wasnโt embarrassed at all, not having parents, hoping if she had in-laws, theyโd share their wisdom, thankfully having a dependable sister-in-law.
"Why isnโt it over yet." Zhao Guangran was eager to visit the foreign trade shop, having long craved its delicious offerings, but wasnโt brave enough to speak up.
"Whatโs the rush." Zhao Xuran shot Zhao Guangran a look, not seeing they were discussing important matters? Soon thereโd be another child, so happy just thinking about it.
Zhao Xuran whispered to Gong Ruini, "Would you prefer a sister or a brother?"
"Of course a brother." Gong Ruini answered without thought, knowing the Wan Familyโs vast fortune, certainly hoping for a male heir.
Plus, Gong Ruini worried if by chance the Cai Family learned Cai Ming married a wealthy familyโs daughter, would they continue being so honest and not make a fuss?
Especially seeing Cai Ming having a daughter, wondering if they might argue for Cai Ming to have descendants and propose adopting Cai Guoqingโs child.
To avoid such troubles, Gong Ruini suggested having a brother was better.
As expected, Gong Ruini preferred brothers, "Youโre worried someone might usurp your status."
Zhao Guangran speculated why their big brother favored Gong Ruini was simply because sheโs the only girl at home, thus receiving extra care. If another girl joined, would she have a place?
Regarding Zhao Guangranโs guess, Gong Ruini didnโt comment, letting someone continue thinking like that.
