Chapter 114 Double Meaning



Seeing their little master so happy, the three puppies kept circling around his feet.

"Why!"

Gu Wei swiftly snatched the black dragon from Gu Hongjie's feet.

Otherwise, if a small dog were stepped on on the head by someone weighing tens of kilograms, it would definitely be injured or die.

After Gu Hongjie landed, he realized he had almost caused trouble. "I didn't expect it to run under my feet."

"It's alright," Gu Wei said gently. "I know you didn't mean it."

Gu Hongjie said with a hint of lingering fear, "Luckily you saw it, otherwise I would have definitely turned my joy into sorrow."

Of the three puppies, his favorite was Black Dragon.

Gu Wei placed the black dragon into Gu Hongjie's arms, saying, "Then you should comfort it."

"Okay. Oh dear, its little heart is beating so fast."

Gu Hongjie stroked the puppy's fur while muttering to himself, "Touching its fur won't scare you."

Gu Wei was completely amused by him...

The next day.

Gu Wei took some paperwork to Liang Weibing.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

Two days later, the household registration was completed.

Finally no longer being migrant workers, but having transformed into city dwellers, Li Guizhi and Gu Hongjie felt this even more strongly than Gu Jianguo.

After all, they are native rural people.

Unlike Gu Jianguo, they didn't experience the ups and downs.

When something good happens at home, we definitely have to celebrate.

Gu Wei brought in a lot of pork, ribs, pig's trotters, and offal, planning to make a whole pig feast.

He also invited the Zhao and Jin families to come over for dinner.

Zhao Dajiang and his companions also brought their own food, such as pheasants and rabbits.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhao Dajiang said with a happy expression, "Gu Wei, we've been looking for a house for so long, and we've finally found a suitable one."

Gu Wei asked with interest, "Really? Where?"

Zhao Dajiang said with a smile, "It's near your Aunt Zhao's tailor shop."

Gu Wei was genuinely happy for them. "That's great. How much does the homeowner want to sell it for?"

Tang Jiamei hurriedly interjected, "Nine hundred and fifty. We thought the location wasn't as good as yours, but it was so much more expensive. We were thinking of seeing if we could negotiate a lower price tomorrow."

"Then let's give it a try. Wouldn't it be even better if we could explain it?"

In Gu Wei's opinion, this price is really not expensive.

After all, every house is different, and the selling price will not be the same.

But it's only natural for thrifty people to want something cheaper.

As soon as Gu Wei finished speaking, Tang Jiamei seemed to have found an ally, "Yes, that's what I think too. But your Uncle Zhao got a little impatient with me, saying that since we've finally found a suitable one, we should buy it no matter how much it costs."

Gu Wei was surprised by this unexpected turn of events and looked at Zhao Dajiang.

Zhao Dajiang couldn't help but say, "Then let Gu Wei be the judge. We've been looking for so long, and finally found someone who's in a hurry to sell. Instead of hurrying up, they insist on haggling over a hundred yuan. What if someone else snatches it up? Won't they regret it to death?"

Tang Jiamei retorted, "Isn't a hundred yuan a lot of money? I only get a few yuan for each job... Besides, houses are so expensive, who would be so quick to pay for one?"

Zhao Dajiang pursed his lips. "Well, that's hard to say. Now, many people in the forest valleys are thinking of coming down the mountain so their children can go to school. The houses there are in good locations, and once they hear the news, they'll be fighting over them!"

Seeing that the couple was about to start arguing, Gu Wei quickly advised, "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, please calm down. Buying a house is a big deal, so it's best to discuss it amicably."

Zhao Dajiang and Tang Jiamei belatedly realized that they were both a little embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry. I came here to congratulate your great-grandparents on registering their household registration, but we almost got into a fight because of what we were saying."

Zhao Dajiang wiped his face. "That's right. They're all so old, yet they still argue like young people. It's laughable."

Gu Wei laughed indifferently, "We're not strangers, no one's laughing at you."

Despite Gu Wei's suggestion, Tang Jiamei still felt somewhat embarrassed. "Let's do this tomorrow: go find the landlord first thing in the morning, and try to get a discount if possible, but if not, we'll accept it."

Seeing that his wife had made a concession, Zhao Dajiang also backed down, saying, "Let's see how things go and try to make a small concession."

Gu Wei watched this scene and felt a surge of emotion.

Since Aunt Zhao opened her shop, things have really changed a lot.

No wonder people say that economic foundation determines family status.

There is also a power struggle between husband and wife.

The little incident before the meal quickly passed.

When it was time to eat, two tables were set up on the kang (a heated brick bed) on the floor inside the room.

After Gu Wei poured a glass of wine, everyone started eating and chatting.

Today's main purpose is to celebrate Gu Jianguo and his family settling here, so we can't stray from the main theme.

People toasted them, congratulating them.

Gu Jianguo was genuinely happy.

He readily accepted drinks from everyone and enjoyed a hearty meal.

When Gu Wei went out to see the people off, she noticed that Gu Jianguo was walking unsteadily, so she helped him up.

Gu Jianguo chuckled at Gu Wei, "I'm not drunk."

The moment he opened his mouth, the strong smell of alcohol made Gu Wei almost take a step back.

He smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, you're not drunk. That's what drunk people usually say."

Gu Jianguo let out a burp and said, his tongue a little stiff, "Gu Wei, your grandpa has lived for over thirty years, which is about halfway through my life. The person I am most grateful to is you."

Gu Wei couldn't stand such words.
