There wasn't much stuff placed here, and he had hardly ever lived here. He just tidied up a bit and it was done.
After inspecting the house inside and out, Liu Liping was very satisfied. It hadn't changed much since she rented it to Gu Wei, proving that he hadn't ripped her off. She paid the money very readily.
When Gu Wei returned home on his bicycle with some things on it, Gu Jianguo and the others learned that the house had been returned, and they thought it was a good thing.
"Actually, I've wanted to talk about that warehouse for a while now. Nobody lives there, so burning it down would be a big problem. Besides, storing goods there isn't 100% safe. If someone targets it, we wouldn't even know when it gets stolen."
Gu Wei's use of that place as a warehouse was merely a cover.
There wasn't much stuff on it, so there was no issue of lost items.
But the grandparents don't know that this is perfectly normal.
“I had those concerns too. Luckily, I just bought a new house now, and it’s bigger, so it’s convenient to store the goods here and pick them up.”
Li Guizhi agreed, saying, "Yes, it's both convenient and safe."
After the new house had been aired out for a while, Gu Jianguo returned, so Gu Wei moved in quickly.
This way, he would have more freedom and privacy at night, and could also return to the modern world at any time.
Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi were quite happy, after all, their child was grown up and still living with them, which was indeed inconvenient at times.
Only Gu Hongjie was somewhat depressed.
Because he regarded Gu Wei as someone second only to his parents in his heart, he would have loved to live in the same house if he wasn't afraid that Gu Wei would find him annoying.
However, he is still just a teenager.
Gu Wei only needed a few dozen comic books to appease him...
Li Guilong and his group soon learned from others that Gu Jianguo and his group had transferred their household registrations.
The couple were filled with envy and regret, they were so angry they could have kicked themselves.
As rural people who toil in the fields for a living, who wouldn't want to move their household registration to the city?
However, they struggled to find a suitable solution.
Who would have thought that Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi, whom they used to look down on, would end up with such a capable relative?
They not only provided them with job opportunities, but also helped them settle their household registration.
The two originally planned to sell melon seeds to earn some money and then return to the village around the time of the Lunar New Year, so that at least they could save face.
As a result, they were severely provoked by Gu Jianguo and his group's decision to transfer their household registration.
While roasting sunflower seeds in a large pot, Guan Xiaolan said to her husband who was working beside her, "I ran into your sister at the movie theater the other day. I think she still cares about you as her brother. Otherwise, she wouldn't have shown such heartache and sadness. Since that's the case, why don't we think of another way to try to ease the tension between them?"
Li Jialong, his face dark, looked up at her and said, "What can we do? Who told you to be so ruthless back then? She's my sister, so beautiful, why didn't you match her with a better family?"
Li Jialong was very angry when the matter was brought up. On the one hand, he blamed himself for being easily swayed and having no opinions of his own, and for being fooled by all sorts of people.
On the other hand, it's also because his wife is easily swayed by small favors and gets excited over them.
“Look at you, now you’re blaming me? Weren’t you there when the matchmaker came to our house to arrange this? What decent family could afford to give so much money? Back then, Dad broke his leg and needed money for treatment.”
Guan Xiaolan was furious, and as she spoke, she started to say things without thinking, "You're talking so nicely now, calling me your sister, but why didn't you object back then?"
Li Guilong was speechless and angrily slammed the large basin down. "Does my objection matter? For so many years, haven't you always been the one in charge and making the decisions? If we don't listen to you, we'll throw a tantrum and threaten to hang ourselves. That's unacceptable."
Guan Xiaolan had many words on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back down.
Because she knew that if things continued like this, they would definitely start arguing.
"Let's not dwell on the past. There's no point in us blaming each other now. Let me ask you this: when you see them move their household registration out of the city, aren't you envious? Don't you want your son and his family to become city dwellers too?"
Li Jialong deflated like a punctured balloon.
He sighed with mixed feelings, "Of course I want to. But it's no use thinking about it. Putting aside the grudges over the years, just look at the past. We shouldn't have listened to Lao Yuan's people gossiping behind our backs and did such a shameful thing, and even got beaten up. Now, in the eyes of Gu Jianguo's relatives, we must be a joke."
Guan Xiaolan also deeply regretted that foolish thing she did.
If I had known that Gu Jianguo's relatives were so powerful, I would have definitely tried my best to please them.
But there's no going back.
"Anyway, no matter what, we have to think of a way to get a city household registration."
The allure of a household registration was too great. Li Jialong squatted down, holding his head, and racked his brains for a solution with a worried expression.
...
That evening, after dinner, Gu Wei and the others were watching TV together in the east room.
The TV series "Huo Yuanjia" recently ended, and the one currently airing is also a martial arts film.
Just as the plot reached a crucial moment, there was a loud knocking on the front door.
Gu Wei and Gu Jianguo both subconsciously glanced at the time.
Since the incident involving the old Zhuang family, many neighboring families have also bought televisions, so almost no one comes to their house to watch TV anymore.
Who could be coming at this time?
"You all do your thing, I'll go take a look."
After Gu Jianguo finished speaking, he got up and left.
Soon, Gu Wei and the others inside the house heard the commotion caused by Zhao Dajiang and Zhao Zhengyuan.
"Uncle Zhao, Yuanzi, please have a seat."
