Chapter 121: Chapter 120 Gentle Clashes with Savage
Cai Meina opened the box and was also stunned, "Why is there wood?"
The wood looked so dirty, "The firewood we use is cleaner than this."
Didn’t even know where to place them, don’t mention the smell, do these things really need to be dealt with?
Look at Zhao Gang, they purchased books, not to mention whether they are ancient texts, they sure have the scent of books.
When it comes to our family, don’t even mention it, not a trace of bookish charm, only stench.
"You, don’t be ignorant, these are good woods." Actually, what Gong Tao didn’t mention was that he felt there might be Yinchen Wood.
If these are indeed Yinchen Wood, Gong Tao declared he’d absolutely laugh to death, as this is something more precious than gold.
There is so much gold on Earth, but how much Yinchen Wood is there.
Gong Tao was reluctant to have them help with carrying things, now they all are unwilling, which gives him the chance to slowly tinker.
Watching Gong Tao carefully move the wood, even more cautiously than moving a box, this stunned Zhao Gang into a daze, what’s the situation?
Knowing this wood is supposed to be good, but no need to be so cautious, right?
Zhao Gang, although puzzled, was exhausted from a day of work and constant praise for Gong Tao, so if it’s good stuff, Gong Tao would surely inform him, he just turned to enter the room.
"Don’t tell your dad." Zhan Jing whispered, if Zhao Gang knew she acted weird just now, this man would feel thoroughly guilty.
Zhao Guangran wrinkled his nose, he certainly didn’t want to tell, once he did, it’s his fault, but he definitely couldn’t let his dad blow up and scold anyone.
Originally, Zhao Guangran was worried about his antics these days, worried his dad would think of ways to discipline him, so he wouldn’t want to try his luck.
When Zhao Gang entered the room, he acted as if he didn’t see the youngest son standing honestly at the door to greet him, this kid can’t expect any good treatment, or he’d definitely start his own dye factory.
Impossible, his dad just ignored him like that, Zhao Guangran was about to cry; he used to think being scolded was painful, but now he realized being ignored by his father was even more painful.
When Zhao Xuran saw his brother’s longing gaze, he wanted to ignore him and walk past, but he was pulled back by Zhao Guangran.
"Bro..." Zhao Guangran looked at Zhao Xuran pitifully, if even his brother ignored him, what would he do?
"Brother Xuran, aren’t you hungry?" Gong Ruini followed in and saw that Zhao Guangran, who used to be all proud, was now pitiful.
That pitiful look as vulnerable as could be, before Gong Ruini could comfort Zhao Guangran.
Zhao Guangran shot over a glare, "Can’t you see I’m talking to my brother?"
How could Zhao Guangran not be resentful, his big brother used to pamper him, even if he often messed up, his big brother would scold him when necessary, but still be nice afterward.
But now his big brother took longer to scold him, always scolding, as for good food and drinks, all went to Gong Ruini, how could Zhao Guangran not be angry.
"I know, but didn’t you know we haven’t eaten dinner?" It was a miscalculation, everyone thought they’d make it home by dinner, but because the stuff was so much, it got delayed until after eight PM.
Gong Ruini didn’t know about the others, but she was starving, endlessly drinking water didn’t help.
Oh, brother’s hungry? Zhao Guangran just wanted to ask when Zhao Xuran’s stomach began growling, which made Zhao Guangran embarrassed.
Zhao Guangran wanted to say he didn’t know they hadn’t eaten dinner but glancing at Gong Ruini’s disdainful eyes, he decided against speaking; speaking wouldn’t help.
"Sit on the kang, I’ve already heated the food, we’re having potstickers tonight." The food was kept warm in the pot, seeing them come back, Cai Meina promptly served them.
Everyone was already starving, hearing there was food, they didn’t bother speaking, today’s story was to be shared after the meal.
Zhan Jing also hurriedly urged Zhao Gang to eat, after a day facing the northwest wind, it was both cold and hunger, "Why didn’t you buy some food on the way?"
Though eating outside requires food coupons, there must be money and coupons to buy some buns.
"We were worried." With so much stuff on the cart, Zhao Gang and his team dared not go to crowded places, what if someone sees?
More importantly, "You have no idea, Gong Tao was so tense with all the wood and boxes, didn’t dare stray from the carriage."
Didn’t dare stay long anywhere, worried people might notice something, that tense look made Zhao Gang want to laugh.
Wood and boxes? How come Zhan Jing felt even more confused, clearly knowing Gong Tao went to the county recycling station just to buy a box for Gong Ruini, but is it worth so much anxiety?
See, mention boxes and wood and they’d think it’s worthless, which made Zhao Gang feel he’s still connected to the people.
"Yes, boxes and wood, but not ordinary ones." Thinking about the boxes’ material, Zhao Gang felt heartache.
"Gong Tao said it’s either rosewood or huanghuali, do you think that’s possible?" Zhao Gang pondered it all along the way and couldn’t recall any big households in this county.
Of course, maybe there were some in decline before, but definitely not many, yet such a beautiful coincidence fell to Gong Tao, Zhao Gang felt uneasy about it.
Rosewood boxes are nice but, hearing Cai Meina’s few rebukes in the yard, it seemed not so great, so Zhan Jing didn’t dwell on it.
Gently serving a chopstick of food to her husband, "Eat, you must be starving."
Of course, Zhan Jing didn’t forget to serve Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruini siblings, that gentle look absolutely proving she’s a Jiangnan woman.
Cai Meina saw everyone eating and realized her husband didn’t eat yet, went to the door yelling into the yard, "Gong Tao, won’t you eat, when do you plan to eat?"
The voice so loud startled the chopsticks out of Gong Ruini’s hand.
Looking back at gentle Zhan Jing, Gong Ruini sighed in her heart, both being Jiangnan women, how could there be such a difference, luckily her dad didn’t mind, otherwise her mom would be eating vinegar nonstop.
"Eat." Gong Ruini was startled, busy eating, Gong Ruwen didn’t notice, but Zhao Xuran did kindly help to steady the chopsticks.
Zhao Guangran kept pursing his lips, that’s his brother alright, regarded him like an enemy but treated Gong Ruini as a comrade, don’t ask Zhao Guangran how he knew.
Because he heard it often, otherwise he wouldn’t understand this wisdom, Zhao Guangran’s annoyed gaze turned to Gong Ruini, whose hands were full with Zhao Xuran’s comfort, didn’t bother with a kid.
