"I didn't expect it to have a calming effect. It's getting late, time to sleep."
"good."
Gu Hongjie obediently closed his eyes, and his breathing quickly became steady.
Gu Wei was already feeling sleepy, and then he fell asleep.
I slept without any dreams.
The next day, Gu Wei woke up earlier than usual.
He glanced sleepily at the side of the bed and saw that no one was there.
I don't know when Gu Hongjie got up.
The crackling sound of burning wood came from the stove in the kitchen, and there was some noise in the yard as well.
Pulling back the curtains, I saw Gu Hongjie brushing his teeth next to the soy sauce vat in the yard, with Jin Hongda standing beside him.
Remembering that Jin Hongda had stayed at the shop for the first time last night, Gu Wei didn't stay in bed any longer. Instead, he stretched and started putting on his clothes.
When he opened the door and went out, he found that Gu Jianguo was indeed cooking.
Why are you up so early? Were you woken up by some noise?
"No," Gu Wei denied with a smile.
When Jin Hongda saw Gu Wei come out, he quickly greeted him with a smile, "Brother Gu, you're up too."
Gu Wei nodded. "Yeah, how did you sleep last night?"
"I slept okay, it was just a little unusual at first, but I'll be fine in a few days."
In fact, Jin Hongda didn't sleep at all during the first half of the night.
He would listen attentively to any noise outside.
I finally fell asleep in the middle of the night when I was so tired I couldn't stay awake any longer.
Even if Jin Hongda didn't say anything, Gu Wei could guess some clues from the bluish tinge in his eyes.
"Don't suffer like this. Hurry up and find someone you can trust in the next few days."
Jin Hongda said excitedly, "That won't do, Brother Gu, this job has to be mine. You have no idea how envious I was of Dafei being able to do this kind of work..."
Gu Wei raised an eyebrow, interrupting him rudely, "Come on, let's not go on like this. We're not strangers, there's no need for all this formalities. I only asked you to cover for me for a few days because you brought it up. Besides, you and Yingzi are planning to have a child, this can't be delayed. Listen to me, find someone right away..."
Jin Hongda smiled sheepishly, "Okay, then Brother Gu, I'll listen to you."
Afterwards, Jin Hongda declined Gu Wei's offer to stay for dinner and left in a hurry.
After finishing breakfast, Gu Wei took Gu Hongjie to school on the way.
Then, he took the train to the city.
When Gu Wei arrived at the new store, it was already open for business.
They saw that Jin Hongfei hadn't gone home and was instead helping his female classmate sell goods.
Gu Wei smiled knowingly and didn't say anything more.
Li Bin and the other two sales clerks understood what was going on, and each had their own thoughts.
On the second day after opening, there were still quite a few people coming to the store to buy goods.
There were also people from other forestry bureaus.
To Gu Wei's surprise, Aunt Chen came to the shop again.
And this time, he didn't come alone.
She was accompanied by a pretty young woman.
"Aunt Chen".
"Xiao Gu, you go ahead with your work," Chen's mother said with a smile. "We'll just look around."
Gu Wei readily agreed and then continued with their work without paying any attention to them.
The young woman brought by Chen's mother shyly and timidly glanced at Gu Wei from time to time.
Chen's mother saw it, smiled slightly, and whispered, "See? That young man is not only handsome, but also smart enough to make money. Finding a partner like that will definitely lead to a good life. Don't listen to your mother's nonsense about needing a stable job with a secure livelihood..."
The girl's name was Chen Lina, the third daughter of her mother's second sister-in-law. Upon hearing this, she nodded demurely and said, "Yes, Auntie, I'll listen to you."
Chen's mother smiled with satisfaction, "That's right. Look at your sister Hui, if she hadn't listened to me and found Zhou Yong, she would never have become the deputy director's wife even if she worked herself to death."
"Then... ma'am, do you think they might like me?"
Chen Lina took a liking to Gu Wei at first sight, but the way he looked at her and his attitude were so casual that it made her lose all confidence.
Chen's mother patted the back of her hand, "I'll find a chance to sound him out later."
They huddled together and whispered to each other. Although their voices were not loud, their actions and expressions were enough to give people a clue.
Gu Wei, the person involved, is not a wooden person.
He noticed the frequent scrutinizing glances he received from the two men.
However, after Chen's mother and the others bought some things and left, he was happy to pretend he knew nothing.
Li Bin looked at the God of Wealth with a hint of envy.
I feel like if I looked like that, I'd definitely have plenty of people eager to introduce me to potential partners.
...
The following day, the First Primary School held a National Day cultural performance.
Gu Wei and the others got up early.
Gu Hongjie has solo and duet performances today.
He specially changed into a neatly ironed white shirt and blue trousers, and even applied face cream and lip balm.
Her red lips and white teeth made her look even more handsome.
Before leaving home, Gu Wei made a point of bringing his camera, wanting to capture as many beautiful moments as possible so he could look back on them from time to time and reminisce.
When they arrived at the school, they found that there were hardly any parents present; it was mostly teachers and students.
"There's hardly anyone here."
"Yes, I thought there would be quite a lot of parents."
Gu Wei smiled and said, "Xiao Jie is definitely the center of attention today."
Actually, thinking about it, it makes sense; people don't pay as much attention to these things now as they do in modern times.
Today is the day before National Day, and no company or factory has given a holiday.
Therefore, very few people would make a special trip just to see a child's performance.
