Chapter 656 - 658: All Tasks Are Equally Important
Although Gong Ruini was quite eager to know Cai Ming’s current situation, the garden needed refurbishing.
"Brother, about the garden, I checked it out and it’s nice, the previous planning was decent, there’s no need for us to modify it."
Gong Ruini didn’t know the original structure of this house, but she was quite satisfied with the currently neglected garden.
"Even if we can’t afford to buy expensive flowers and plants, we can still plant some easy-to-manage ones."
Gong Ruini didn’t know who would eventually live in her house, but since it was meant for rent, there was no need to plant expensive flowers, what if they got taken away by someone who recognized their value?
"And then we should plant some fruit trees." The yard was indeed that large, although it seemed a bit strange, but they could serve as trees to look at. Trees that could bear fruit were quite appealing to see.
"And we also need to clear the pondside." Gong Ruini didn’t know what was going on inside the pond, but it hadn’t been maintained for years, so no one knew its current state, it definitely needed some attention.
Clearing the pond? Because their parents were busy with work, and due to trusting the kids, Gong Tao left the renovation of the house to the kids.
After all, they were quite busy, busy with studying, running businesses, and taking care of kids; they really didn’t have time to spend such long hours traveling back and forth every day.
Especially if the workers needed to buy materials, how would they be contacted? So the best option was to let Gong Ruini and them take charge.
Gong Ruini thought her parents’ plan was good; in fact, they were just treating them as little laborers, although under the flag of "training" them, this training wasn’t light at all.
Gong Ruini felt all sorts of helplessness towards her parents’ behavior, but Gong Ruwen and the others were all kinds of willing, insisting they would complete this difficult task, leaving the helpless Gong Ruini no choice but to join in.
As the money just flowed away, Gong Ruwen really couldn’t sit still anymore, even if they’ve been saving in every way, it still seemed to be over budget.
"The cleared pond sludge makes great fertilizer; we can use it for the fruit trees." Although to save money, they bought only small saplings, but as long as they had enough fertilizer, they would definitely grow fast.
"We can clear it ourselves." Gong Ruwen pleasantly decided on this matter.
Oh, no by the lake, to dig pond sludge themselves, Gong Ruini was dumbfounded; she really regretted proposing this initially. See, she dug a hole for herself, laid a mine for her own destruction.
"Isn’t it a bit cold?" Zhao Guangran was shocked, really shocked. He had done farm work before but never this exhausting.
But this time the Gong family’s renovation really made him contribute a great deal, to the point that he could hardly hold on, if possible, he desperately looked forward to winter, no, looked forward to the collective heating system’s start.
As soon as the collective heating started, it meant winter had arrived, and they could finally start hibernating.
"Yes, it’s cold, so we can work during midday when there’s sunlight, don’t worry, my dad and Uncle Zhao will be here." Zhao Guangran’s surprised look made Gong Ruwen really want to laugh.
Although he wanted to save money, he wasn’t foolish enough to ignore everything and let Gong Ruini and them go into the pond to clear sediment; nobody knew how deep the sludge was or what the condition was like, so of course, one should be cautious.
"We only need to be responsible for moving the sludge to the flower beds." Gong Ruwen stated with all fairness that this was indeed light work.
"Great, great." People need comparisons; without a comparison, they wouldn’t think too much, they’d be complaining endlessly.
Poor kid, seeing Zhao Guangran happily taking the task, Gong Ruini knew he was tricked, in fact, no matter how much Gong Ruwen wanted to save, he wouldn’t let them go into the pond, what if something happened?
"Ni Zi, what’re you laughing at?" Zhao Guangran didn’t hear Gong Ruini agree, so he turned to look at her, worried that Ni Zi wouldn’t work. It was inevitable, after all, Uncle Gong, his own dad, even both elder brothers all pampered Ni Zi, even if she didn’t work, it was fine.
But as soon as he turned, he saw Gong Ruini laughing, his first reaction was that she was laughing at him, otherwise why laugh so happily?
Zhao Guangran really didn’t understand why Gong Ruini would laugh so happily, did he agree to the wrong thing?
Ah, his sister was about to mess around again, Gong Ruwen kept winking at Gong Ruini, signaling her not to laugh, otherwise, Zhao Guangran wouldn’t easily let it go.
Alas, people grow older, but sometimes their temper is like a child, if they want to fuss, they’ll fuss for a while. Clearly at school, they behave so well, but why do such silly things, really don’t get it, can’t understand.
"Why can’t I laugh?" Gong Ruini didn’t give in to Zhao Guangran, this guy’s temper had only grown bigger, if she kept giving in like this, she didn’t know if there would still be a way of her life in the future.
In any case, Gong Ruini stated that she absolutely couldn’t be a hindrance, "I think you’re good-looking, isn’t that okay?"
Ha, only now do you realize I’m good-looking, Zhao Guangran was quite unsatisfied with Gong Ruini just noticing his looks, but it was better than being called ugly.
Zhao Guangran expressed he was in a good mood, "You go on and laugh, by the way, what about our classes?"
Recently, Zhao Guangran had become studious, he really didn’t want to miss any classes.
"Of course, classes will continue." Gong Ruini really thought that once faced with difficulties, Zhao Guangran would back off, wouldn’t want to study, after all, this guy had run away from obligations before.
But this time, he really persisted through all sorts of challenges, which really surprised Gong Ruini.
Wearing rain boots ready to go to the pond, Zhao Xuran heard his younger brother say he wanted to study, though a little surprised, it wasn’t unexpected; probably he had some motivation.
Although Zhao Xuran was also learning along with him, he didn’t have that many thoughts, just the idea to gain more was good enough. To Zhao Guangran, wanting to go abroad, wanting to find their relatives through grandfather, was his biggest motivation.
"If you are so serious about studying and attending classes, I think Dad would be even happier." Zhao Xuran looked at the flaunting face of Zhao Guangran and really found it annoying.
See, that’s his elder brother, really never showing him any good face, ah, "I will be serious, I will be serious."
Clearly, his grades were also quite good, why didn’t his elder brother see his progress, why always nitpick on the parts he didn’t do well? Just don’t understand, really don’t understand.
