Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 120 - 119: Taking Advantage of the Situation

Zhao Gang was all kinds of excited, but the people who stayed home weren’t so happy.

Especially Cai Meina, who was incredibly anxious, pacing back and forth and frequently looking out the door.

On such a cold day, with no lights on the road, if it were just two grown men, Cai Meina wouldn’t be so worried, but there were three children in the car.

"They really don’t know how to take it easy when they go out."

Cai Meina knew that for Gong Tao, the county town was just so-so, but the kids who had been stuck in the countryside were excited beyond belief at the chance to go to the county. How could they not be thrilled?

Remembering how her own daughter was so excited about the trip that she couldn’t sleep all night, Cai Meina felt guilty towards her child.

Zhan Jing was actually also worried in various ways. Zhao Gang had said that if there was a chance, they must do some good shopping, and Zhan Jing was really concerned that her husband’s little tricks might be discovered.

Thinking of this, Zhan Jing’s face turned pale with fright, knowing this could be a big problem.

Zhao Guangran’s mood wasn’t good either. He was the only one left at home, feeling all kinds of lonely and bored. In fact, he was now filled with all kinds of regret.

Suddenly, he looked up and saw his mother’s troubled expression, which frightened Zhao Guangran, "Mom, are you okay?"

"Mom, please don’t scare me." Zhao Guangran panicked, not knowing what to do.

Find Aunt Cai; she should know what’s going on. Zhao Guangran remembered that having an issue meant finding Cai Meina.

Hearing Zhao Guangran’s cries from inside the house, Cai Meina was also startled and immediately ran in. The person in the house was important and absolutely couldn’t have any problems.

"Zhan Jing, Zhan Jing." As soon as she went in and didn’t see Zhan Jing’s face, which was pale, Cai Meina was scared out of her wits.

Within dozens of miles, there was only one doctor, Zhan Jing. If something happened to her, Cai Meina wouldn’t know what to do.

"I’ll go to the village and see if there’s a midwife." Even though she had given birth to two children, Cai Meina was completely at a loss for what to do.

Zhan Jing reached out and grabbed Cai Meina, "Don’t go to the village, I’m fine."

Although Zhan Jing didn’t know when Zhao Gang and the others would return, she knew that under no circumstances could anyone from the village be brought in. If things got out of control and too many people came, they might collide with Zhao Gang’s group upon their return, and the situation would become unmanageable.

Why not call the villagers in? Cai Meina didn’t understand why Zhan Jing was so insistent, but if something happened, she really couldn’t bear the responsibility.

Zhan Jing tried to calm herself down, "I’m fine, just the two babies kicking too hard."

It turns out it was the babies’ movements, Cai Meina understood. Sometimes when a child kicks more forcefully, it can be a bit overwhelming for an adult, "Seems like a sturdy baby."

"The sturdier, the better." In the countryside, even though she had medical skills, those skills alone couldn’t solve big problems. As long as the children’s health is good, the adults can breathe easier.

"I’m just hoping these two kids are as healthy as Guang Ran." Don’t be fooled into thinking that the couple finds Zhao Guangran too sturdy; in reality, they’re quite relieved.

If this son had the same health as Zhao Xuran, perhaps they’d be even more worried.

Hope the younger brothers are like him? With that thought, Zhao Guangran’s eyes lit up. To his parents, he also had strengths, not just weaknesses. This realization made Zhao Guangran grin from ear to ear.

"Mom, do you really want little brothers to be like me?" Zhao Guangran was thrilled inside, humming to himself for not being taken out by his elder brother.

In the future, when the younger brothers grew up, he would unite with them to attack the eldest brother.

Just thinking about leading two little underlings made Zhao Guangran all kinds of excited.

But before he could ask more, he heard the sound of cows at the door and then the sound of knocking.

"Mei Na, I’m back. Hurry up and open the door," Gong Tao said excitedly. You know, Zhao Gang had been keeping him engaged in conversation the whole way; how could one not be excited?

That’s Gong Tao’s voice, and it sounded all various excited. Cai Meina quickly stood up to rush outside but was worried about Zhan Jing. She gave Zhao Guangran a glance, signaling him to open the door.

Hearing Gong Tao’s voice, Zhao Guangran was also excited. He stood up and then sat back down, remembering how this group didn’t take him out during the day, so he wasn’t about to open the door now.

Zhan Jing was also somewhat flustered, worried about what might happen. But hearing Gong Tao’s excited voice now assured her nothing was wrong. There was no way she could sit still, "I’m fine, you go open the door; we might need to move things."

After reminding Zhao Guangran to keep an eye on Zhan Jing, Cai Meina went to open the door.

Just as Cai Meina was about to ask how things were on the road, she was hugged by Gong Tao, "Honey, we’ve hit the jackpot this time."

"Hit the jackpot?" Cai Meina was taken aback by her husband’s enthusiastic gesture. If it were done privately, it would be fine, but was it appropriate to do this in front of Zhao Gang and the kids?

"Honey, you know what? We really brought back a lot this time." Gong Tao lifted the curtain of the car’s canopy and saw a half car load of goods and three kids.

But the first things that caught her eye were those exceptionally filthy boxes.

Turning to look at her husband’s thrilled expression, Cai Meina struggled to suppress the urge to scold him, thinking even at a scrap yard, one could choose nicer things than these.

Gong Tao was happily talking about the abundant haul, entirely oblivious to how grim Cai Meina’s expression had become.

Watching the couple’s contrasting expressions, Zhao Gang felt inwardly amused, "Alright, let’s go inside first."

"Yes, yes, we need to carefully bring these boxes inside." Although he knew the boxes weren’t that fragile, Gong Tao still was all kinds of nervous.

Really? They were actually going to bring those dirty boxes in? Cai Meina just couldn’t hold it in and raised her voice.

"Gong Tao, what do you mean by buying such dirty boxes for our daughter?" It’s not like back when we just arrived and had no money and had to be thrifty.

Clearly having money in hand now, how can he still treat our daughter this unfairly? Cai Meina just couldn’t help herself.

"Honey, honey, these are good stuff." Gong Tao finally noticed his wife’s unhappy expression.

Why do people today care so much about appearances? Why isn’t anyone concerned about the contents? Gong Tao felt helpless.

The key issue was, Zhao Gang was still at the side not stopping his badgering, "I can take it; I’ll recycle it immediately."

Good stuff shouldn’t be missed. The Gong family’s matriarch had already spoken, and Zhao Gang could see the items coming to his house.

"Recycle what, dream on." Gong Tao shot an annoyed glance at Zhao Gang, who was trying to take advantage.

He quietly pulled Cai Meina aside and briefly explained the situation with the wood. Cai Meina was astonished.

Really? Did she hear right, was this stuff really that good?

"Once it’s cleaned, you’ll see." It’s not just that others don’t believe; even Gong Tao was all kinds of anxious. If it were truly good wood, he’d need to start processing and protecting it immediately.
