Gong Ruini yawned and got up from the kang bed, rubbed her eyes, and found that it was already bright outside, the sun was high in the sky, indicating it was not early.
I really don’t know if Aunt Zhan and Uncle Zhao resolved their conflict yesterday. Although Hua Miaozhu had already explained that the issue had nothing to do with Ban Xia and the others, these two kids just had their own little concerns.
I also don’t know how well these two kids rested yesterday. Gong Ruini yawned again, just about to get off the kang to find them, when she noticed their little faces frowning as they slept on the side.
"How big are these kids, and yet they’re frowning in their sleep." Gong Ruini reached out, trying hard to smooth their furrowed brows, only to find that no matter what she did, she couldn’t erase the frowns.
"Might as well be like Zhao Guangran, eating and sleeping all day, a carefree attitude."
"Kids so young, worrying about things all the ti, don’t they know it ages them quickly?"
Gong Ruini originally thought about how to offer so advice, but now she felt this task was really heavy, so heavy that she didn’t even know where to start.
"What’s going on?" Zhao Xuran walked into the room to check if the three little lazy ones were awake and found Gong Ruini standing by the kang with a worried look.
Zhao Xuran leaned in to take a look and saw the two little ones were still sleeping, everything seed fine.
"What’s going on, look at their small faces all wrinkled up. By the way, are Aunt Zhan and Uncle Zhao still locked in their room?" They were supposed to leave for Beijing tonight; could it be that the couple was still making a fuss?
Gong Ruini was genuinely worried. If it were Zhao Guangran, she wouldn’t even need to intervene; just having him there would imdiately straighten Zhao Guangran out, giving him no chance to stir up trouble.
But Zhao Gang and Zhan Jing are the elders; if they are still fussing at this point, they are truly being unreasonable.
Gong Ruini felt heartache for her own father. Originally, they were happily going to Beijing to find a place to settle, to get a fixed asset for the family, but Zhao Gang and Zhan Jing kept on arguing, how were they supposed to look at houses like this?
In the middle, either constantly persuading or caught in the middle like a sandwich, Gong Ruini thought about this and felt wronged for her father. If these things had happened before buying the tickets, she would definitely have called it off, or else let Gong Tao accompany them.
Even if they’re in a hurry to buy a house for the family, there’s no need to be this anxious. There will be plenty of opportunities to buy a house in the years to co; they can spend ti picking and choosing slowly, but now that the tickets are booked, saying they can’t go is just teasing people.
"Well, they ca out, but they just look a bit unpleasant and are ignoring each other." Zhao Xuran could only say it’s a relief they ca out, otherwise it would really be troubleso.
"They ate and went to rest." Zhao Xuran added.
Oh, so they went to rest. Gong Ruini responded with an "oh", "What about Ban Xia and the others?"
Gong Ruini was worried that Zhan Jing, being stubborn, insisted on bringing Ban Xia and the others to Beijing, and what if they ended up arguing again? Her own father wouldn’t be able to intervene, not to ntion what if the two kids got scared.
"They’re not going anymore; my mom said it’s a long journey and they don’t even know if the person they’re looking for is right. Even though the circumstances match, they haven’t been in contact for so many years." Zhao Xuran also breathed a sigh of relief.
Honestly, if Ban Xia and the others were really to be taken to Beijing, the household would really be in chaos. "You didn’t know, yesterday Guangran pulled aside for a whole night, asking why he couldn’t be taken along."
"Wasn’t that about taking Ban Xia to learn?" Gong Ruini thought at first that Zhao Guangran didn’t make trouble later because he understood, but it turns out this kid didn’t think it through at all.
Poor Zhao Xuran, having been troubled by Zhao Guangran for a whole night, but that’s the fate of the eldest son—if the younger siblings didn’t understand sothing, they had to ask him.
"Yes, but Zhao Guangran insisted that if only his mom had told him about it back then, he would have worked hard." This was what really worried Zhao Xuran, "Do you think Guangran might harbor so resentnt?"
"I don’t think so." Gong Ruini knew that Zhao Guangran was the type of kid who wanted to have things that others had, and preferably things others didn’t have, just to show off his own worth.
"But can he really settle down to study this?" Gong Ruini wanted to say that even if this kid went to study, he’d just end up being criticized and battered.
Gong Ruini knew that studying Chinese dicine could be profitable, even if he opened a health preservation center in the future. But even if he’s envious, so what? Gong Ruini had tried learning it for a while and found it really hard.
Gong Ruini thought those dical texts were like heavenly scripts, and seeing them made her want to sleep. It wasn’t to say she looked down on Zhao Guangran, "If I can’t even learn it, can he?"
"Not to ntion, how long have Ban Xia and the others been morizing the herbal formulas, but what about him?"
"And Ban Xia and the others can now recognize so many herbs when they go up the mountain, but can Guangran?"
It’s not that Gong Ruini didn’t have high hopes for Zhao Guangran; it’s just that when they go up the mountain, Ban Xia and the others think about studying, while Zhao Guangran goes up just to play.
Who would argue with that; Zhao Xuran knew quite well that his silly brother wasn’t cut out for studying Chinese dicine, "But he’s making a fuss now."
"Then let him study!" Gong Ruini thought Zhao Xuran was just overthinking, "If he can study, that’s good!"
"If he doesn’t study well, it will still be his embarrassnt in the end." Gong Ruini comnted that this path was chosen by Zhao Guangran himself, whether to retreat or to crawl through it, it was Zhao Guangran’s matter, and he couldn’t bla anyone.
"Brother Xuran, how co you suddenly beca so accommodating." Gong Ruini truly found it strange. Zhao Xuran clearly used to seize the opportunity to criticize his brother Zhao Guangran, but now he’s considering Zhao Guangran’s feelings so much, sothing’s definitely up.
Could it be Zhao Guangran said a lot yesterday, like how hard his life was? "Brother Xuran, you just can’t let Guangran manipulate you; he’s actually quite content with things."
"Yes, but I still feel the need to consider things for him, he..." Rembering the things Zhao Guangran told him yesterday, Zhao Xuran felt so things weren’t as he thought, "Actually, Guangran does think about a lot."
Ah, that kid Zhao Guangran actually considers things? To have Zhao Xuran say that, it must not be a simple matter.
Gong Ruini couldn’t imagine what could get Zhao Xuran to praise Zhao Guangran, so she watched him closely.
"I never knew Guangran felt so pressured, that he considered future matters." Recalling how many things his brother told him yesterday that he thought he wouldn’t have considered.
"It wasn’t really a whole night, more like the better half of the night. I couldn’t sleep after." Zhao Xuran realized he had been too presumptuous all these tis, never having considered so many things.
"You think Ban Xia and the others are very sensible and wouldn’t cause trouble, but when they get stubborn like yesterday, I find it hard to keep them in check."
