Gu Jianguo arrived home around 8 a.m.
Gu Hongjie has already gone to school.
When Gu Wei saw that Gu Jianguo was unshaven and noticeably thinner, but still looked quite well, she felt relieved.
"Grandpa, you must be exhausted from your long journey back."
Seeing that his wife and Gu Wei were all well, Gu Jianguo felt relieved and said with a smile, "I'm not too tired, just quite hungry!"
Li Guizhi, who was staring intently at Gu Jianguo, hurriedly said, "Then you should quickly wash your face and change into clean clothes. There's some food ready at home, I'll heat it up for you."
Gu Jianguo said "okay" and went to wash his hands at the washstand, but his eyes kept following his wife's figure.
Seeing this, Gu Wei couldn't help but chuckle.
At the same time, I was deeply moved by how good my grandparents' relationship was; they had been married for over ten years and were still very much in love.
I wonder if God just can't stand to see people doing well.
Life is always full of imperfections.
It seems that many couples who argue every day and have a bad relationship grow old together.
On the contrary, couples who are loving and affectionate and have never argued are always the ones who pass away first.
After Gu Jianguo finished washing his face, he handed him a dry towel.
Gu Jianguo wiped it haphazardly, then smiled at Gu Wei with a sigh of relief, "I did encounter some resistance when transferring my household registration, but money talks, and it was finally done smoothly in the end."
"It's good that it went smoothly. Grandpa, don't worry about it, you'll earn it back soon."
Gu Wei felt both happy and conflicted.
Fortunately, things went as planned without any unexpected problems.
The complicated thing is that, throughout history, it has always been incredibly difficult for ordinary people to accomplish anything.
Gu Jianguo sighed, "I'm not really worried about the money, I'm just annoyed that I want to change my household registration, but I have to be controlled by those trivial things."
At this moment, Li Guizhi spoke up, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Who told us to be ordinary people?"
Gu Wei and Gu Jianguo looked at each other simultaneously, smiled silently, and stopped talking.
The food was quickly served, and Gu Jianguo ate until he was about half full before slowing down to tell them about what had happened after he returned.
"...The land at home, before I left, wasn't it given to Old Liu's family next door to cultivate? The weather has been good and the harvest is quite good...As for that house, no one lives there, and it's starting to collapse. As soon as they heard that I was going to move my household registration, Old Ma's family came over to discuss buying it from me."
Then I thought about it, and since we've already moved away and I'm not going back to that awful place, selling it to them is fine, even if it's for less money.
Upon hearing this, Gu Wei was secretly overjoyed.
It would be best if Grandpa and the others never went back.
Li Guizhi frowned and asked, "How much?"
“One hundred and twenty.” Gu Jianguo quickly added, “That’s an old house anyway, it will cost a lot of money to repair, so don’t be upset.”
Li Guizhi smiled bitterly, "I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little reluctant, after all, we got married in that house and had Xiao Jie..."
Gu Jianguo also felt a pang of regret, "Yes, there are indeed too many memories in that house."
Gu Wei didn't want them to wallow in their sadness, so he coughed lightly and said, "Since you've decided never to go back to that place, it'll be easier to deal with the house and such. Besides, Grandpa and Grandma, aren't you planning to buy a house? I'll be buying a house in the city later, so why don't I sell this house to you? I'll keep the house next door, that'll be enough for me. I don't need so many houses."
All of Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi's emotions vanished, and they both looked at Gu Wei in surprise, exchanging bewildered glances.
"Gu Wei, you've already taken such good care of us. We can't take advantage of you any more over the house."
Li Guizhi immediately chimed in, "Yes, there's no rush anyway, let's take our time and find the right one eventually."
Gu Wei smiled and said, "How can this be considered taking advantage of me? You all know how old this house is. It was built in the 1950s when it was being developed. It's already 1984, and it will definitely need to be renovated in the future."

If I sell it to someone else, the shop in front won't be easy to manage. But it's different if I sell it to you, Grandpa and Grandma. Will you still take my money or prevent me from opening the shop?
Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi's expressions both changed slightly.
Gu Wei knew they had taken his words to heart, so he pressed on, "Besides, the Zhao family is a prime example of how difficult it is to find a suitable house. How long has it been since they started arranging to buy a house?"
Okay, even if you don't care about the location and want to buy it somewhere far away, that would be so inconvenient for your commute. And don't worry about the money; just pay me a portion first, and the rest will be deducted from your salaries.
Finally, Gu Wei successfully persuaded the two men with his silver tongue.
However, Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi insisted on giving Gu Wei 900 yuan.
Gu Wei did not refuse.
In short, it can be made up for later.
With a new house, Li Guizhi didn't seem so upset about selling the old one.
Moreover, their household registration could be transferred to this house without any problems, which relieved them of a major worry.
When Gu Hongjie came home from school at noon, he not only saw his father, but also learned that his family had sold their old house and bought a new one. He jumped for joy.
"Great! My family has a house here now!"
Gu Wei watched Gu Hongjie's antics with a smile, feeling that his decision was absolutely right.
With a house, they have a sense of belonging and can live more peacefully and securely.
