Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 63 - 62 Petty

"Goats don’t have that much fur."

"The ones with lots of fur are sheep."

Ah, there’s such a distinction, Gong Tao was dumbfounded, he only knew about goats before and didn’t know how to differentiate them at all.

"So what kind of goat produces milk?"

"And is the meat the same?" Since he didn’t know, Gong Tao sincerely asked for advice.

Zhao Gang had also been considering which type of sheep to raise. Now that his friend was worried, they decided to discuss it together.

"Goat milk is good, goats can also be eaten, though the taste isn’t as good as sheep. But if you’re not too picky, it’s basically the same," Zhao Gang said, having tried both kinds of mutton.

Upon hearing this, Gong Tao chose goat first, didn’t you hear his own daughter wanted to drink goat’s milk?

This stuff should be good for his daughter’s health, so Gong Tao had no objections and wanted to make a decision.

"But sheep have a lot of wool. I’m not sure if the supply and marketing cooperative would buy it, but we could make quilts and padded clothing," Zhao Gang pointed out that the wool wouldn’t be a problem.

"But goat meat is relatively cold and shouldn’t be eaten too much."

"Mutton is hot in nature, suitable for postpartum women and people with weak constitutions," Zhao Gang couldn’t make up his mind.

Sheep could provide nourishment for his wife, but if they had goats, the milk could be fed to his two children later.

Zhao Gang still remembered when his wife Zhan Jing had given birth to their first two sons, her milk wasn’t enough. Back then, it was just one child, but now with two, one would surely go hungry.

Zhao Gang had previously thought if worse came to worst, he could go to families with cow’s milk or goat’s milk and ask for some, or feed them some rice soup.

Didn’t the eldest and the second child get through it like that back then?

And now, since even Lian Ni wanted to drink goat milk, it wouldn’t be enough to ask for some.

The best solution was to buy a goat.

Gong Tao understood, "Then I’ll first buy a goat that can produce milk and take it home, so when Zhan Jing gives birth, the child will have sustenance."

"And then buy a sheep, so we can have hot pot." Goat is suitable for winter, and it’s so cold in Northeast China, you can leave the meat in the snow and eat it for a long time.

"Alright, we’ll set off tomorrow." Zhao Gang settled the matter, buying a few more sheep wasn’t a problem.

For them, it wasn’t an issue at all, as long as the adults and children were well, money wasn’t the main concern.

Alas, why did the matter of goats suddenly come up, Gong Ruini really felt that her snowboard was far away, so far she worried it might not be made until summer.

She figured by then it wouldn’t be skiing but sliding on grass, oh well, just consider it practice, Gong Ruini could only comfort herself like that.

Isn’t it a bit silly? But what to do if it’s not silly, should she pull Zhao Gang aside and say, why are you pulling tricks on this kid again, do you think since she’s small, you can just keep tricking her like that.

"Alright then, since we still have time, let’s make the snowboard." Zhao Gang saw Gong Ruini’s face droop, understanding the girl thought her snowboard was a no-go.

Zhao Gang originally wanted to tease Gong Ruini since her puffed cheeks looked so amusing.

He remembered how a few days ago, his eldest son teased Gong Ruini and ended up with an unsatisfactory outcome, now he had to comb Gong Ruini’s hair every day, Zhao Gang felt this girl wasn’t someone to play around with.

Zhao Gang didn’t want to be held responsible by Gong Ruini and had to come up with a solution.

Really? Gong Ruini happily stared at Zhao Gang, "Uncle Zhao, you’re the best."

Not bad, not bad, he still remembered to make her a snowboard, it didn’t count as deceiving a child.

Gong Ruini kept praying that nothing else would pop up, otherwise if Zhao Gang got dragged away again, she’d really cry.

His own daughter’s gaze on Zhao Gang made Gong Tao uncomfortable, this brat previously said dad was the best, but in such a short time, she was won over, it’s excessive, really too much.

"Dad’s great, I’ll help Uncle Zhao with dad." Her father’s various jealous looks left Gong Ruini helpless.

Clearly, Gon Tao was acting normally outside, but occasionally he’d do something silly, making Gong Ruini helpless.

No matter the case, she had to properly comfort her father, otherwise what if he went on strike?

Gong Tao had no idea his daughter was looking down on him, he just knew his daughter actually wanted to work with him, which made him very happy.

Excitedly, he gave Zhao Gang an excited expression, see, his daughter still liked him the most.

Zhao Gang had no words for this proud dad, probably didn’t even notice his daughter’s previous disdainful look.

Forget it, ignorance is bliss, let this guy continue being smug, Zhao Gang wasn’t worried about telling Gong Tao, Ni Zi would react anyway.

Zhao Gang thought his doting friend would probably just say it was all his fault and his daughter wouldn’t be like that otherwise.

Zhao Gang started fiddling in the kitchen, while Gong Ruini watched his movements, occasionally handing over tools or nails, if not boards.

Gong Ruini previously worried if this newcomer Zhao Gang could finish the snowboard today, but seeing Zhao Gang’s skillful actions, she was a bit relieved.

It seemed like he did consult with others, hehe, Zhao Gang was really nice, even remembered to ask around while out.

Zhao Guangran woke up to hear Zhao Gang was making a snowboard for Gong Ruini and excitedly jumped out of bed without lounging around.

If Zhao Xuran hadn’t pulled him back, he would’ve run out wearing only thermal wear.

To see the snowboard quickly, Zhao Guangran dressed quickly, not caring if his clothes were tidy.

"Wow, it’s so beautiful." When Zhao Guangran arrived, a snowboard was almost done, just needed to be tied with a rope.

"This one’s mine." Gong Ruini quickly grabbed the snowboard before Zhao Guangran could claim it.

Even though this board had been modified multiple times, with visible changes if looked at closely, Gong Ruini didn’t want to miss Zhao Gang’s first snowboard.

More importantly, Gong Ruini was worried Zhao Gang might be taken away again.

Hmph, Zhao Guangran looked displeasedly at Gong Ruini, hoping to make the little girl give the item to him.

Unfortunately, Zhao Guangran’s gaze lacked intimidation, and Gong Ruini wasn’t going to pay attention to him.

"You can line up and wait," Gong Ruini reminded.

"And the next ones will be prettier than mine." This boy liked pretty things, so this tactic would definitely work.

Ah, the next ones are better, Zhao Guangran was a bit conflicted, as getting them later would mean waiting a while before playing, but seeing his dad’s familiar movements.

Zhao Guangran thought he wouldn’t have to wait long, especially after closely examining the board in Gong Ruini’s arms, hmm, it had small holes.

Fine, this not-so-nice thing could stay with Gong Ruini, Zhao Guangran graciously indicated he wouldn’t compete with her.

"Brother Guangran, you’re the best." Since Zhao Guangran was so generous, Gong Ruini of course thanked him for not competing, also to prevent him from regretting it later on.

Seeing Gong Ruini acting stingy, Zhao Guangran thought the girl was a bit penny-pinching, obviously he wouldn’t compete with her, yet she held onto the item, such a stingy little thing.
