Furthermore, he was just an ordinary person, not so great as to put aside his own and his family's safety to do something risky.
After the performances were over, the list of winners was announced.
Unexpectedly, Gu Hongjie won a second prize.
Although the prize was a handwritten certificate and a towel, both Gu Hongjie and Gu Wei were extremely happy.
Such a joyous occasion deserves a good celebration.
But doing it myself would be too time-consuming.
I'm getting a bit tired of the food at the state-run restaurants.
They then unanimously decided to buy lamb for hot pot.
As the weather gets cooler, having hot pot in a copper pot is a very enjoyable experience.
In particular, the ingredients at this time are mostly pure, green, and pollution-free, and have a more natural vegetable flavor.
As everyone ate the steaming hot pot, they inevitably continued to talk about Gu Hongjie's performance.
Gu Jianguo took a sip of his drink and said, "Singing well is a natural talent; you inherited it from me. Back in school, at the educated youth settlement, I often performed because of my good voice."
Gu Wei knew perfectly well how well Gu Jianguo sang.
He almost couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Li Guizhi glanced at her husband speechlessly.
However, since Gu Wei and his son were both present, they gave him face and didn't undermine him.
Gu Hongjie blinked, looking completely innocent.
"Dad, is this true? You have a good voice, but why do I hear you sing a little off-key? Mom sings better."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Wei and Li Guizhi couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Jianguo, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, reached out and slapped Gu Hongjie on the head, "You brat! You won't even let me pat myself on the back a little?"
After he finished speaking, he laughed out loud.
For a moment, the atmosphere was very joyful.
After finishing his meal, Gu Wei felt sleepy because he had gotten up too early, and he started yawning.
Gu Hongjie, however, remained energetic and asked, "When are we going to get that roll of film developed?"
"Are you in a particular hurry?" Gu Wei teased him deliberately.
Gu Hongjie nodded vigorously, "Of course. I want to wash it quickly and take it to class."
Gu Wei understood this anxious feeling.
"Okay, then you go and get this done."
“Okay!” Gu Hongjie replied happily.
Gu Wei took the finished roll of film out of the camera, put it in a small kraft paper bag, and gave Gu Hongjie some money.
After everyone left, Gu Wei returned to his room.
A person cannot fall asleep immediately after lying down.
My mind is racing with thoughts.
Later, sleepiness overcame me, and everything went black as I fell asleep.
When Gu Wei woke up again, it was already past four in the afternoon.
He rubbed his face, put on his shoes, and went out of the house.
Then they found Gu Hongjie watching TV in the east room.
However, the volume is turned down very, very low; you have to get very close to hear it.
"You're awake?"
"Um."
Gu Wei's voice was still a little hoarse because he had just woken up. He cleared his throat and sat down next to Gu Hongjie.
"Tomorrow's a day off, what are your plans?"
Gu Hongjie shook his head. "I don't know."
Gu Wei suggested, "Come to the city with me tomorrow, I'll show you around."
"Really! That's great!"
Gu Hongjie was extremely excited.
He had long wanted to go to the city to check out the new store, but unfortunately he had been busy with school and hadn't had the time.
Seeing Gu Hongjie's reaction, Gu Wei felt that he hadn't done enough and should take them out more often to broaden their horizons.
"How about we go see a movie tonight?"
"Great! Great!"
Although they now have a television at home, the allure of movie theaters remains immense for Gu Hongjie.
Gu Wei then went to the shop in front and told Gu Jianguo and the others about wanting to see a movie.
The two of them naturally did not raise any objections.
Lin Yu and Zhao Zhengying were also somewhat tempted after hearing this.
But we all had things to do, and it was too late after the movie, so we'll have to wait until next time.
After dinner, Jin Hongda also came to watch the shop.
Gu Wei and the others walked to a movie theater that wasn't too far away.
At that time, there were very few places for people to have entertainment or leisure.
Besides the cinema, the Forestry Bureau area is just a workers' club.
After a long day at get off work, the movie theater is definitely the liveliest place to be.
Looking at the bustling crowd, there were some vendors selling peanuts, melon seeds and the like.
Gu Wei told Gu Jianguo and the others to find a less crowded place to wait while he went to the ticket window to buy tickets.
Gu Hongjie tugged at his sleeve, insisting on going with him.
Gu Wei smiled and took him with him.
The last movie was almost over, and there were still quite a few people near the ticket window.
However, people were quick to buy tickets.
Even with seven or eight people ahead of him, he estimated it wouldn't take long.
Sure enough, it was their turn soon.
Gu Wei spent one yuan to buy four tickets and even gave him some change.
Watching a movie requires a soft drink.
Even when it gets cold, it's the same.
They went and bought a few more bottles of orange soda.
As a result, the two of them had not yet made their way through the crowded people to return to Jianguo and the others.
Gu Wei then saw a person selling melon seeds standing in front of his grandparents.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Li Guilong and Guan Xiaolan.
Gu Hongjie saw it too, and the two of them hurriedly squeezed through.
"Guizhi, just take it. It's nothing valuable."
"I don't want to!"
