Watching the twins playing in the snow with such enthusiasm, you shouldn’t be fooled by their well-developed bodies and steady gait. Once they take a couple of steps in the snow looking like balls, they twist their feet and fall to the ground.
And then, struggling in the snow, they look like two little chubby bears no matter how you see it.
Zhao Guangran saw the embarrassing scene of the two kids through the gap in the window, laughing with delight. Unfortunately, he only dared to laugh silently, because if those two heard him, there would definitely be trouble for him.
Zhao Guangran couldn’t understand why, even though he was their real brother, they didn’t like him this much, while Gong Ruini could laugh openly.
Zhao Xuran also laughed as he looked at the two brothers, "Right, are you not going ho this year?"
Ever since Uncle Gong didn’t return last ti and instead mailed twenty yuan, letters have rarely co from that side. However, people in the know have notified him of quite a bit of internal news, which has been quite lively.
The recent letter said Gong Dajiang’s situation wasn’t looking good. Though it’s not much clear, it’s said that the last ti he went to the hospital for treatnt, Gong Dajiang was so thin he’s unrecognizable, and if it weren’t for Gong Qiang and others around him, they wouldn’t have recognized him.
Going back for what? "My dad didn’t write a letter back, and they didn’t respond either. They must think there’s nothing left here to squeeze out."
Even though the old man’s situation was so critical, Gong Tao, being stingy, only gave twenty yuan. In the eyes of Gong Qiang and others, he must be a miser, so why bother with them?
"Besides, if we don’t go back, it’ll save them from dividing the property." Once Gong Dajiang is gone, Gong Ruini can imagine how the Gong Family would quarrel over that house.
"Gong Zheng has recently been promoted. It seems his father-in-law backed a suitable person and got promoted along with them, making a return ho imminent." We can imagine how proud Gong Zheng must be.
He told us he moved by himself, but in reality, he was driven away by Zhang Lan and Gong Qiang. How would he not think of going back to avert his past disgrace?
"Gong Zhuang has long been dissatisfied with Gong Dajiang and others but never had the chance to express it. Although he was not remarkable before, he’s certainly better than gatekeeper Gong Qiang."
In front of Gong Tao, Gong Ruini would refer to everyone as uncle or third uncle but didn’t bother with these so-called relatives in front of Zhao Xuran.
There was no contact or interaction with them whatsoever, no sentint at all, especially with all sorts of troubling issues. Who would want such relatives?
"But knowing about your family’s situation, they would co rushing back."
"No matter how Gong Dajiang is, he should be able to suppress things a bit." Zhao Xuran felt Zhang Lan was indeed a person without any boundaries, willing to do anything for Gong Qiang.
Can Gong Dajiang suppress Zhang Lan? Gong Ruini wasn’t optimistic, "His words are just nonsense. He said Gong Xiaoyu wasn’t good, but he didn’t truly educate him sternly."
To help this grandson get into a good unit and a decent position, he made the family all disordered and even got himself involved. Truly, the calamity couldn’t be worse.
"Putting in so much for Gong Xiaoyu, but what was the outco?" It’s said this grandson is out wandering with people every day, a kid who doesn’t study, doesn’t work, and only sses around.
If Gong Xiaoyu had sincerely helped Zhang Lan care for Gong Dajiang, he might have earned a good reputation. But he didn’t do it and just ssed around outside, how could the people around him have a good impression of him?
Gong Zhuang seizes every chance to say all sorts against Gong Qiang’s family, calling Gong Xiaoyu an ingrate.
Gong Xiaoyu, there’s no hope for him in this life. He’s just a mangy dog of the Gong Family, "Let’s hope Zhang Lan can care for this grandson to the end, otherwise Gong Qiang wouldn’t bother."
Gong Ruini always felt that Gong Qiang might not even like this son. Otherwise, how would he know Gong Xiaoyu is doing nothing proper outside and yet never go out to educate him? Clearly doesn’t want to care.
The problem is that if you really give up on such a son, you must see if you have any better sons to cultivate under your knee, but reportedly, none of the children are promising. The so-called eldest branch of the Gong Family is indeed ruined.
Gong Zhuang’s son, Gong Ruini hadn’t encountered, but considering his parents’ background, she’s not optimistic about the child’s character either. With such exposure, if the kid turns out even slightly outstanding, it’s already good.
"Not going is fine too; this year we can slaughter two sheep." Since Xia Hongbo achieved great rits, he got promoted to the county, and the later successor of the commune secretary turned out to be a pretty good person, focusing on production rather than movents, leading everyone to comnd him.
Though so people were dissatisfied, like Du Juan and others, who envied Cai Ming becoming a teacher and wanted to complain about him falling from grace, Xia Hongbo didn’t let their sinister plan succeed due to being occupied with establishing connections, plus reminiscing over that little kindness.
Once a new secretary took over, Du Juan and others went to stir trouble, only to receive stern criticism, being accused of shirking work hours, rallying, and slandering others. In summary, their cris were even more severe and serious.
The most important thing was that these sins were recorded in their personal files, utterly panicking Du Juan and the others, making them spend quite so money to plead for help, but to no avail.
The captain and secretary of the neighboring village had long been annoyed with Du Juan and others, while Du Juan blad those leading the literacy classes for bullying the reeducated educated youth like them.
Since that’s what they said, the secretary comprehensively let Du Juan and others learn the true aning of stringent requirents.
Gong Ruini and others didn’t pay attention to Du Juan, but children from their neighboring village attending classes with them ntioned it, and that’s how Gong Ruini learned Du Juan suffered greatly during the autumn harvest.
Previously, during each agricultural busy season, n’s tasks were prioritized, and won’s tasks weren’t heavy. However, this ti they were strictly required, causing Du Juan much distress.
Without Du Juan watching them, Gong Ruini and others went full-speed into raising chickens and quails. Oh, by the way, now quails aren’t solely with Gong Ruini; they have spread to surrounding villages.
Though quail eggs are small, they win in quantity; selling chicken eggs while using quail eggs to nourish the elderly and children at ho is quite good, especially when quails grow up to beco dishes.
If there’s any connection in the city, quails and quail eggs can definitely be converted into money; Zhao Gang had used old connections to sell plenty of quail eggs and quails, making a good fortune.
Even the neighboring Da Zhuang’s family made quite so money, thanks to being low-key people who, if the news spread, it might cause another uproar in the village.
The village folks would definitely say Zhao Gang is partial, so it can only be done privately.
As for Gong Ruini and their children’s small herb-harvesting business, let’s not ntion it; from April to September, they were so busy it felt like they were flying, enhancing their little piggy bank nicely.
Looking at that pile of money, Gong Ruini was worried indeed.
