Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 825 - 827: About Skipping Grades

"Have you realized your mistake?" Zhao Xuran carried some food as he walked to where Zhao Guangran was still kneeling in the courtyard.

Zhao Guangran’s lips were already chapped, making Gong Ruini, who followed behind, feel various kinds of distress.

Gong Ruini thought that after Zhao Gang beat Zhao Guangran, things would end there, not expecting Zhan Jing to be so harsh.

But you can’t blame Zhan Jing for this, actually, as a mother, she probably wanted to cry more than anyone else, but she couldn’t cry, or the show couldn’t go on.

Hmph, coming to see him now and bringing some food, is this the so-called crying crocodile tears?

Zhao Guangran turned his head away from Zhao Xuran, "I..."

Zhao Guangran wanted to act haughtily and say something harsh, but he found his throat so dry that just opening his mouth felt like fire.

Helpless, Zhao Guangran had to give up on this thought, but he could still move his eyes.

"Alright, don’t look at me, let’s go back." At least he still has the strength to glare, which means the situation is okay.

Go back? Someone barely came, how could he let them leave? Zhao Guangran wasn’t stupid; he knew this had nothing to do with his older brother and them. He was just not in a good mood.

"Bro..." Zhao Guangran looked pitifully at Zhao Xuran, although he couldn’t speak, the meaning he wanted to express was all there.

Seeing Zhao Guangran looking like he was about to cry, Zhao Xuran plopped down beside him, massaging Zhao Guangran’s thighs while giving him some advice.

"You, no matter how angry you are, can’t lose your temper in front of elders."

Zhao Guangran actually regretted it, but at that time he thought he couldn’t just go back like that, or he’d lose face entirely.

He thought at most his parents or older brother would scold him, the offense wouldn’t be big, he never expected the punishment to be this severe.

"I regret it." Zhao Guangran ate a little, with someone helping to massage him, he felt a lot better, "Bro, thank you."

"You’re still the best." Remembering earlier when four younger brothers came running, he thought they came to comfort him, but they actually came to laugh at him.

This really angered Zhao Guangran, comparing his older brother and Ni Zi, there was truly a world of difference.

"Where’s Brother Ruiwen?" He suffered such a big punishment, how come he didn’t come to visit, so unbrotherly.

"My brother is handling orders." Gong Ruini told Zhao Guangran, it’s not that he didn’t want to see him, but he was busy, "He also has to give Xiao Zhi and them lessons."

Gong Ruini really didn’t expect that in one day, the two children would actually study so seriously, if she hadn’t been there the whole time, she would have thought it was bragging.

Ah, they still have lessons? Zhao Guangran was stunned, "Oh my God."

Zhao Guangran felt an unusual amount of pressure, thinking about the treatment he might receive in the future, he really wanted to cry, "Could it be they’re really planning to be top scorers in the college entrance exam."

"They like this are driving me to death." Zhao Guangran wiped away a tear, "With two older brothers above me, the pressure is enough."

"Not to mention there’s also Sister Ni Zi, clearly a sister, why must we be in the same grade."

Heh heh heh, is this all her fault? Gong Ruini sneered on the side, watching Zhao Guangran.

Uh, "Actually Ni Zi, you’re doing well in studies, you could just not skip grades with me, that way I wouldn’t be so stressed." If Ni Zi wasn’t in the same grade, his pressure wouldn’t be so great.

"If I’m not in the same grade, will you work hard?" Gong Ruini was just not sure Zhao Guangran would persist.

Damn, this was outright looking down on him, Zhao Guangran wanted to loudly declare he too had perseverance, but the gaze his older brother had on him left him speechless.

"So, I’m not skipping a grade for your own good, otherwise I’d really worry that you’d be schooled by Uncle Zhao every day." The more Gong Ruini thought about it, the more she felt she was a good person, "Forget it, I don’t even need you to thank me."

"Thank you?" Zhao Guangran was really so angry he could spit blood, "Why should I thank you."

"Why not thank me." Gong Ruini looked at Zhao Guangran who seemed a lot more spirited, "Brother Xuran, I think Brother Guangran’s body has recovered a lot, you don’t need to keep massaging him."

Hmph, little guy, seeing you enjoying yourself so much, don’t you feel extremely comfortable, if that’s the case, you shouldn’t enjoy such good treatment.

Zhao Xuran was actually getting a bit tired from massaging, but seeing his brother constantly humming, he felt embarrassed to stop, taking advantage of Gong Ruini’s words, he stopped.

No way, his own brother listening to Gong Ruini too much, Zhao Guangran had no energy to glare at Gong Ruini, whether he glared or not, it was all the same.

"Bro, I suddenly thought of something." Zhao Guangran wasn’t just sitting there taking the punishment, he actually thought of quite a few things.

Something? What is it? Zhao Xuran signaled to Zhao Guangran that he could say it there.

Where would Zhao Guangran be willing to say it there, "I thought of a good idea."

Zhao Guangran looked around, although he heard from Gong Ruini that the two kids were studying, he was still uneasy, "Bro, this time I definitely thought of a money-making idea."

Seeing him being so cautious, Zhao Xuran could only help him into the study, making Zhao Guangran smile with joy, the corners of his mouth twisting up.

Zhao Xuran was concentrating on supporting Zhao Guangran and didn’t see, but Gong Ruini saw and pursed her lips, knowing full well that Zhao Guangran wasn’t being honest, but she was curious to see what idea he had.

Zhao Guangran wasn’t bothered at all by Gong Ruini’s knowing look, what’s wrong with letting her see, if she couldn’t tell, then there would be a problem, "Bro, if we do this right this time, I think we’ll definitely make money."

"Whether it makes money or not, I don’t know." Zhao Xuran really couldn’t handle it, "Can you not put all your weight on me."

Zhao Xuran couldn’t help but feel that Zhao Guangran was retaliating against him.

"I’m tired, you know." Zhao Guangran insisted he was exhausted from kneeling so long, "Bro, if you give me more massages, I’ll be alright."

In the end, it’s about him not massaging enough, "In the future, no one will help you with massages." Zhao Xuran regretted how he had been so kind earlier.

Gong Ruini laughed heartily, sometimes people just ask for trouble, and there’s really no stopping them.

Zhao Guangran had no time to bother with Gong Ruini’s snickering, he was busy trying to make sure his big brother wouldn’t be unbrotherly to him.

Seeing no reaction from his big brother, Zhao Guangran sighed, "Bro, I know, let’s talk about serious stuff."

Pleading with his big brother was useless, time to focus on business matters, "Big bro, I’ve thought about it, we could introduce the food from Guangdong."

"And, we could open a Western restaurant." Zhao Guangran hadn’t given up on the idea of opening a restaurant, but his big brother was right, since they couldn’t find chefs with great skills, they needed a different approach.
