Gong Ruini kept her head down, trying hard to shovel the rice into her mouth from her bowl, because she really couldn’t lift her head.
For she knew that once she looked up, she’d see everyone’s mocking smiles.
Gong Ruini really didn’t understand how she could be so foolish, how her brain could just short-circuit like that. No, it was like at that mont she didn’t have a brain at all.
Zhao Gang took a sip of his wine and saw that Gong Ruini was just eating rice and not touching the dishes, "Ni Zi, are you just going to eat rice?"
Although there was no winter fishing in the village this Spring Festival, Zhao Gang and the others still went to catch a few fish. A braised fish dish on the New Year’s table was a must.
Then there was also the refreshing fish ball soup, which was ant for Zhan Jing to eat, as her appetite for it was quite good.
Not to ntion the chicken stewed with mushrooms, "Ni Zi, you want the pancake."
Zhao Gang signaled to Gong Tao to give Ni Zi so dishes, didn’t he see that she was too shy to serve herself?
Gong Tao felt all sorts of helpless, he was the one who felt the most wronged, wasn’t he? Lucky that the household’s finances were managed by Cai ina, otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to explain it.
"Dad, sorry." Gong Ruini, after all, wasn’t a child, she could act all heartless.
However, before she ti-traveled, she wasn’t thick-skinned enough, which resulted in Gong Ruini appearing mature but not unpleasant.
The problem was, at this mont, how much Gong Ruini wished she could be as thick-skinned as a child, at least she could apologize like her brother without a care.
After pondering for a long ti, Gong Ruini could only muster the courage to apologize, of course not forgetting to put a piece of at in Gong Tao’s bowl, "Dad, I was wrong just now."
"I shouldn’t have overthought it." Gong Ruini sincerely apologized once more.
In fact, thinking about it, it was a blessing to say it in front of everyone, because if she had said it privately to Cai ina, this matter might have escalated, and Gong Ruini really couldn’t imagine how it would end.
In the end, everything didn’t turn out bad.
"You need to apologize." Just as Gong Tao was about to say it was okay, Cai ina spoke before him, "In the future, don’t just start talking nonsense over any sign of it."
"Luckily, it was clarified this ti. What if it was soone else? There could be big trouble." Cai ina actually felt awkward too, earlier she had looked at her husband with a pretty displeased expression.
Gong Ruini kept nodding, "Got it, got it, I know I’m wrong, but Dad, why are you so worried? Even if he is a leader, he can’t control us forever."
You have to know that their products have always been sold to fixed custors, they never go to the black market, so to speak, it’s a one-line operation.
Even if the so-called new leader is more aggressive, it’s impossible to clash with large state-owned enterprises, especially military industrial enterprises, of course, dealing with Zhao Gang and the others is relatively easy.
A pretty good way to change the subject, but Cai ina also found it quite reasonable.
Zhan Jing listened to Gong Ruini’s words, she felt very strange, before she thought that this girl seed a bit too sensible, and hearing her say this today made Zhan Jing find her even more precociously frightening.
Fortunately, there’s still Zhao Xuran at the front blocking, otherwise, Gong Ruini really would stand out too much, though even so, Zhan Jing stared at Gong Ruini for a long ti.
Zhan Jing didn’t know how other families educated their children, but she could ensure Zhao Xuran was so sensible not just because of his stable personality, but also due to their conscious guidance from a young age.
Zhan Jing was very busy, and Zhao Guangran was still young, without elders to take care of them, the young couple could only focus on teaching Zhao Xuran to be sensible.
Moreover, since coming to a strange place, the couple was even more cautious, and whenever they spoke to Zhao Xuran, they taught him to be cautious about various things, it’s clear that his upbringing was very important.
In contrast, Gong Tao and his wife didn’t educate Gong Ruini too much because of her poor health, especially if they really wanted to teach, it wouldn’t make sense to skip their firstborn, Gong Ruwen.
Zhan Jing’s scrutinizing gaze startled Gong Ruini, making her behave for a long while, worried that Zhan Jing had noticed sothing.
Gong Ruini kept comforting herself to not panic, knowing that if she panicked, there would be a problem, and thus she cald herself down, deciding to proceed as she had before.
"Chicken wings." Compared to eating drumsticks, Gong Ruini preferred chicken wings, especially those simred for a long ti, the taste was much better.
"Mine, mine." Zhao Guangran shoved the last piece of chicken at into his mouth just to reach for the chicken wings.
Previously, Zhao Guangran always thought chicken wings weren’t tasty mainly because they had no at, not as tasty as drumsticks. But once, while scrambling for food with Gong Ruini, he tried a chicken wing, and though it had little at, the taste was incredibly good.
Zhao Guangran didn’t understand why he suddenly found chicken wings tasty, clearly when his mom made chicken stew with mushrooms before, he had eaten chicken wings, but they never tasted this good.
Zhao Guangran thought for a long ti, "Aunt Cai, your cooking skills are really sothing, much better than my mom’s."
"Ever since Aunt Cai ca, the food at ho has improved a lot." Even though it’s the sa ingredients, what Zhao Guangran wanted to express was how much better Aunt Cai’s cooking was, he really wondered how his mom used to cook.
This simple-minded kid, although since coming to their house, the kitchen was taken over by Cai ina, he had also tasted Zhan Jing’s cooking, which could only be described as survival-level.
But the problem is, young Zhao Guangran, is it really appropriate to speak so frankly about how your mom’s cooking isn’t delicious?
Gong Ruini could already imagine how ugly Zhan Jing’s face would be, and of course maybe her own mother’s awkward expression.
Zhan Jing knew her cooking skills weren’t great, after all, from a young age, she had studied traditional Chinese dicine with her father, so how could she know these things? It was only as she grew older that her mother thought a girl should know how to cook and specifically taught her.
Zhan Jing didn’t have much interest in cooking, so she only learned enough to make edible food, and knowing that her skills were constantly criticized by her child, made Zhan Jing’s expression inevitably displeased.
Zhao Gang, being a good husband, imdiately intervened, "If you despise your mom’s cooking skills, you can cook for yourself from now on. I refuse to believe that any future wife you’d marry would have better skills than your mom."
Even as their son, you can’t criticize your wife, that’s a matter of principle, "Your mom is a Doctor, after all."
"I’ll definitely find soone who can cook well, if they can’t, I won’t marry them." In the countryside, people speak straightforwardly, not very subtly, so Zhao Guangran understood what a wife ant.
Speaking about the topic of a wife didn’t embarrass him at all, which left Gong Ruini utterly stunned.
Although there was nothing inappropriate about the topic, Zhao Guangran was still so young, yet he could speak about a wife so fluently, leaving Gong Ruini in various states of admiration.
Gong Ruini really worried that after her big brother stayed here for a while, he’d beco as outspoken.
"Fine, I’ll rember what you said." Still daring to argue, Zhao Gang expressed his dissatisfaction, "If your future wife can’t cook well, your father won’t give you money for the wedding."
Gong Ruini ca back to her senses, hearing Zhao Gang say such childish words, feeling helpless, this father and son were both equally immature.
