"No matter how many words of thanks we say, it's just a matter of words. We still need to take some real actions, otherwise Uncle Zhao will really feel uncomfortable."
Zhao Zhengyuan and the others also picked up their tools and started looking for work to do.
Seeing this, Gu Wei knew he couldn't stop them.
And since these people genuinely wanted to do something, we might as well let them be.
"Okay, then you guys get to it."
In fact, Gu Jianguo had wanted to voice his objections when Gu Wei started looking for outsiders.
These are the kinds of jobs; they don't require much skill, and you can do them yourself.
But he also knew that the other child was worried about him working hard, so he didn't feel comfortable stopping him too much.
Now that Zhao Dajiang and his group have arrived, it can be considered that they have fulfilled his wish.
Gu Jianguo also joined the ranks of those working.
Gu Wei watched from the side, feeling helpless and at a loss for words.
Grandpa is a man who can't sit still.
Zhao Dajiang worked quickly and efficiently while chatting with Gu Wei.
"Our forest farm director was saying the other day that he'd like to invite you to dinner sometime when you have some free time."
Gu Wei knew perfectly well why the other party wanted to invite him to dinner. "Is that so? Then let's wait a while."
The forest farm is still thriving now, unlike later when it declined and became deserted. The farm manager is like a local tyrant, controlling a lot of resources, so it wouldn't hurt to be on good terms with him.
"Okay, whatever your schedule."
Zhao Dajiang knew that Gu Wei had a lot of things to do, and besides, Gu Wei had no way of asking the forest farm director for help, so there was no need for him to rush over.
Gu Wei hires outsiders to build houses, as long as they pay.
But if an acquaintance comes to help, you definitely have to provide meals.
That evening, everyone had another meal of food and drinks.
Everyone knew that Gu Wei's alcohol tolerance was average, so no one urged him to drink.
Therefore, after finishing his meal, Gu Wei, like Gu Hongjie and the others, went to the east room to watch TV.
After that, only Zhao Dajiang and Gu Jianguo remained on the table.
The two of them were drinking happily.
They chatted intimately for a long time.
As they chatted, the topic of houses came up.
"Actually, after selling the vegetables, we had a lot more money at home. With the money we earned from the tailor shop and Yuanzi, we also wanted to buy a house down the mountain, but we haven't found a suitable one yet. Gu Wei is really amazing; he bought a second house in such a short time."
Gu Jianguo loved hearing others praise Gu Wei the most.
They were as proud and happy as if they were praising their own child.
"Gu Wei is indeed a capable and capable kid. But this house was bought by chance..." He didn't treat Zhao Dajiang as an outsider, so he told him about the Zhuang family's affairs.
Hearing this, Zhao Dajiang couldn't help but sigh, "This young man has hands and feet; there are so many things he could do, why does he have to resort to petty theft? And he lives so close by! If this happened to me, I'd be too ashamed to show my face... If there were any way to move out, I definitely wouldn't want to stay a moment longer..."
"Yes, being a parent is really not easy. You have to put up with a child like this."
Gu Jianguo felt quite sympathetic towards Lao Zhuang and his wife.
The two men, both fathers, talked about this topic for a long time.
Gu Jianguo took a sip of baijiu and changed the subject, "Let's not talk about other people's business. Let's talk about our Gu Wei. He has a house, a shop, and a city residency. All he needs is a good partner."
Tang Jiamei also came over and helped cook.
She was very envious and optimistic about Gu Wei's plans to buy a house and open a new store in the city.
Hearing Gu Jianguo say this, he immediately interjected, "Gu Wei doesn't need to worry about finding a partner. He can find anyone he wants, they're good-looking, and they can make money. There's no shortage of good-looking women. It just depends on whether he wants to find one or not."
“There’s really no need to worry.” Gu Jianguo had also had a bit too much to drink and spoke without restraint. “Actually, quite a few young girls have taken a liking to our Gu Wei, including some college students.”
"College student!"
Zhao Dajiang and Tang Jiamei were both very surprised.
Because nowadays, college graduates are guaranteed job placement as government officials, which is something that ordinary people can only dream of.
"Yes, they're both university students from the capital. They correspond with each other all the time..."
Li Guizhi had just brought the dry food from the pot to the table when she overheard what her husband said, and immediately nudged him.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not even close to happening yet."
Gu Jianguo also realized that if word got out and the two of them didn't end up together, wouldn't that affect Gu Wei's real marriage?
"Look at me, I've had too much to drink, I'm just rambling on and on, just pretend you didn't hear me."
Zhao Dajiang and Tang Jiamei were certainly aware of the situation.
I will absolutely not do anything that would be detrimental to Gu Wei.
"I didn't hear anything anyway. Come on, let's drink."
"Yes, drinking."
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and left...
Li Guizhi didn't care whether she was in Gu Wei's presence or not, and started talking about Gu Jianguo, whose head was red and face was swollen from drinking.
"Can you be a little more reserved in the future? Even Da Jiang and the others are tight-lipped and won't go around talking nonsense. You're not right either."
Gu Jianguo realized his mistake and humbly accepted the criticism.
"Yes, I know I was wrong. I won't talk nonsense again."
Gu Wei and Gu Hongjie were completely bewildered.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Grandma, what did my great-uncle say?"
Li Guizhi said to Gu Wei, somewhat embarrassed, "We just happened to be talking about your dating life, and your great-uncle, with his big mouth, said that you're corresponding with a college student."
Gu Wei thought it was something serious. "Oh, it's alright. It's just communication, not dating. It's no big deal if he finds out. Besides, his wife Yingzi works at our store, so it's not a secret."
