Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 738 - 740: All Are Drama Queens

Ever since Cai Meina entered what would be their main base in Beijing, her mouth hadn’t closed.

"Ni Zi, this house is so big." Actually, when she first heard that three families lived here, oh, four including Zhuge Zhi, she had her doubts.

The courtyard is big, but no matter how big it is, it can’t accommodate so many people. She never expected it to be this large.

Gong Ruzhi didn’t care about all that; he just knew this place was big—so big it left him bewildered. He turned his head to look at his mom and found out she wasn’t paying attention at all.

He turned around and hugged Zhao Xuran’s leg, "Brother."

It’s said that boys start speaking late, but Gong Ruini never noticed that from Ban Xia’s children, and even Gong Ruzhi had a particularly talkative mouth.

The more important thing was this little guy knew who in the family called the shots and who the big boss was.

Zhao Guangran pouted, what a crafty kid. Clearly, he treated him the best, but this kid got close to the eldest brother after he wised up. Isn’t this a blatant slap in the face?

"Brother Guangran." Gong Ruzhi turned to give Zhao Guangran a sweet smile, then took a candy out of his pocket. "Brother, have some."

Wow, really? Giving him candy, not Gong Ruini, Rui Wen, or even the eldest brother, but him. This meant he was seen as the best in Gong Ruzhi’s heart.

"Not giving any to brother or sister?" Zhao Guangran tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, carefully asking, lest he gets too excited only to find out Gong Ruini and the others also got some, then he’d feel cheated.

Gong Ruzhi patted his pocket, then thought for a moment and turned the pocket inside out, in a childish voice, "There’s no more, no more."

Wow, the only candy went to him, Zhao Guangran was so touched, even his biological younger brother hadn’t treated him this well. Xiao Zhi treating him like this, Zhao Guangran decided he should treat him well, "We’ll have mutton soup a bit later." Zhao Guangran promised.

"Wow." Gong Ruzhi was delighted, but the little guy cautiously glanced at the people present, "Is it just me and brother?"

Watching the excited Zhao Guangran, Gong Ruini pouted, it’s just like him to get this excited. If he knew the real reason behind the candy, he’d probably faint from excitement.

Gong Ruini, out of kindness, stayed silent, or else Zhao Guangran would rage because that candy wasn’t even one Xiao Zhi liked, so he gave it to Zhao Guangran to build rapport.

Especially since Zhao Guangran got so excited over a candy, saying he’d treat Gong Ruzhi to mutton soup; it wasn’t a small expense.

It was uncertain if he’d bring them along. Zhao Guangran wasn’t known for generosity; Gong Ruini wasn’t too hopeful.

Ah, bringing others along too? Zhao Guangran was a bit reluctant, though that mutton soup was delicious. But if so many people went, he might as well buy a whole sheep.

The most important thing was Zhao Guangran could foresee how his two brothers at home would definitely open their bellies and eat a lot, since free food means eating as much as possible.

Thinking about spending so much money made Zhao Guangran’s heart break into countless pieces.

"Yeah, bro, is there some for us or are you not taking us?" Zhan Banxia didn’t really care about a bowl of mutton soup; he ate it often.

But if the second brother’s treating, he couldn’t miss out, especially seeing the second brother’s slightly tearful face—so satisfying.

"Little bro, don’t imagine it, second brother won’t invite us." Zhuge Zisu lamented on the side.

"Ah, Guangran wants to treat us to mutton soup, that’s great." If it were any other dad, hearing a still-studying son want to treat to mutton soup, they’d definitely stop it; at least adults wouldn’t demand it.

But Zhao Gang was different; he knew the kids weren’t lacking in food, so he cheekily added his bit.

Coughing up blood, his health meter emptying, one after another. Though mom didn’t speak, she watched from the side.

Grandma, no need to say more, Zhao Guangran might shamelessly say he’s only treating Gong Ruzhi, but then days ahead would be unbearable.

For the sake of comfortable ears in days to come, he decided to invite everyone. Money was an issue, but nothing money couldn’t solve; if one meal couldn’t solve it, then don’t treat too many.

"Invite, invite, invite everyone," Zhao Guangran said righteously, but his heart was bleeding.

Thinking about how a whole sheep’s worth of money would be gone, "Let’s buy a whole sheep instead."

Yeah, since it’s a whole sheep’s worth, might as well enjoy it fully.

Ah, buying the sheep to cook at home, such stinginess. But it’s rare for Zhao Guangran to splurge, so they can’t ask for too much.

"I was thinking we haven’t had barbecue in a while; we can grill lamb ribs."

"Then we can have lamb barbecue." Can’t say it, or drool will keep flowing.

This suggestion, of course, passed without surprise. Even if someone previously thought Zhao Guangran stingy, what he said made sense.

"But a whole sheep isn’t enough; we need to add some beef."

"Yeah, Guangran, you can’t be stingy."

No way, a whole sheep isn’t enough? They were being too harsh, Zhao Guangran felt like crying, who else had kids as understanding as him?

"For so many people, you can’t skimp. A whole sheep is only twenty-something kilos." Zhao Guangran concluded, "And some beef, we can grill beef skewers, then potatoes stewed with beef."

A whole sheep only twenty-something kilos; this isn’t just his grandpa speaking freely, if he said this, he’d get criticized for being not understanding.

"Of course we’re democratic. If you, Guangran, don’t agree, we can continue eating out for mutton soup." Zhao Gang wore a face offering choices.

Cough up blood, only a blood tonic could help; his dad’s face was so thick, why didn’t anyone put him in his place, Zhao Guangran felt all kinds of injustice.

But no matter the complaint, he could only choose one, "Alright, buy beef." No other way, they would definitely eat with all their might.

Zhao Guangran only hoped they’d take it easy, not to spend too much money, or his wallet would cry.

The wallet, never full, was now so deflated, the host had all kinds of reluctance.

"Wise choice." Zhan Banxia gave his brother a thumbs-up.

Wise choice, they trained him well; Zhao Guangran forced a smile, otherwise, they’d say he wasn’t sincere, couldn’t spend money and come off well.

A critical moment, Gong Ruzhi appeared, turning and hugging Zhao Guangran`s leg, "Brother, I don’t want to eat mutton soup; it’s my fault."

The little one wore a face full of guilt and regret, so innocent in every way.

How could Zhao Guangran say no, "Xiao Zhi, you’re the best, brother’s just treating you."

"But I made brother spend more money." Gong Ruzhi still looked guilt-ridden.

Such an actor, Gong Ruini was dumbfounded. Her parents were such honest people, their siblings were naturally honest too, how did they have such a brother?

Gong Ruini was really troubled, unsure if it was a good or bad thing, seemed like more management was needed.
