Chapter 120 A Chance Encounter



"Come quick, this ice sculpture is beautiful."

"Is it okay if I take a picture here?"

"..."

Gu Wei followed Gu Hongjie with his camera, a broad smile on his lips.

At the same time, he urged his grandparents to come over and take pictures with them.

Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi were both over 30 years old, and they still had to maintain a certain composure, but their bright smiles betrayed their emotions.

After visiting the amusement park, I used up more than one roll of film.

They later went to the ice on the Songhua River, where they rode ice sails, played ice games, and went ice skating.

In short, I played everything that was available.

Besides sightseeing and shopping, they certainly wouldn't forget about inspections.

Gu Wei only learned about the tests at the large hospital when he arrived. He didn't know if it was because of the medical equipment or the large number of people, but the bigger the hospital, the harder it was to get the tests done. Not only did he have to wait in line, but he also had to find someone to help him.

Gu Wei actually despises some of the unspoken rules, but living in a society that is not a vacuum, he sometimes has to make compromises for himself and his family.

Therefore, he still went to find Xu Kailin.

Xu Kailin was both grateful and respectful to Gu Wei, so he readily agreed, and even complained that Gu Wei hadn't told him in advance that he and his family were going to the provincial capital.

With the help of an acquaintance, Li Guizhi's examination went exceptionally smoothly.

After receiving the doctor's orders and prescriptions, Gu Jianguo and the others left the hospital with relaxed expressions on their faces.

"Look, the doctor said that as long as I pay attention, keep a good mood, and take my medicine on time, I should be fine. Don't worry about me anymore, don't treat me like I'm made of paper."

"Good. As expected of a major hospital in the provincial capital, the test results are much more detailed than those in smaller places."

Gu Wei still had some worries deep down.

After all, heart disease often doesn't show up well in tests when it's not acting up.

However, from the moment I appeared in front of my grandparents, perhaps the trajectory of my fate had already changed.

Xu Kailin helped find the person and ran around with him, so Gu Wei treated him to a meal afterwards.

After all the dishes were served, Gu Wei raised his glass and said solemnly, "Old Xu, thank you for today!"

Xu Kailin quickly stood up, lowered his cup very low, and lightly touched it to Gu Wei's cup.

"Brother Gu, I'm more than happy to be of help with this little bit of work, there's no need for such a formal expression of gratitude!"

"If it weren't for you, I, Xu Kailin, wouldn't be where I am today! So this glass of wine should be mine to toast you."

Gu Wei doesn't think so. "You can't say that. You are where you are today because of your own hard work and struggle, 80% of it."

Gu Weiyue's words made Xu Kailin feel even more that he was a kind and benevolent person worthy of friendship.

"Brother Gu, I know your alcohol tolerance. I'll drink this, you can drink as you like."

Seeing that he tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp, Gu Wei smiled and also took two big gulps.

After the two put down their wine glasses and took a bite of food, Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi expressed their gratitude.

Even though Xu Kailin hadn't had much contact with Gu Jianguo and his group, he knew from Li Bin how important these people were to the God of Wealth, and how they would shower him with flattery.

The dining atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant.

Near the end, we learned that Xu Kailin was looking for a house, wanting to buy a larger one to live with his parents.

Gu Wei immediately had an idea and asked him to keep an eye out for suitable houses for him.

Seeing that Gu Wei still wanted to buy a house in the provincial capital, Gu Jianguo and the others exchanged glances, feeling somewhat relieved.

Perhaps it's true, as Gu Wei said, that one house in the Forestry Bureau is enough for him; having more is pointless.

The sleeper berth I took on the way here.

When it was time to go back, Gu Wei certainly didn't want to make things difficult for herself and her grandparents.

So, he asked someone to buy him a sleeper ticket at a high price.

Xu Kailin came to see them off at the station, bringing a lot of local specialties with him.

Gu Wei and his group had bought a lot of things before they left, intending to distribute them to each family when they returned.

Goodness, now we have two more big bags.

I bought the tickets in a hurry this time, and they were all middle and upper berths; I couldn't get a lower berth.

Li Guizhi had originally decided to climb up to the middle bunk.

As a result, the dark-skinned middle-aged man in the lower bunk, understanding the implication, asked to switch places.

"Don't bother, I'll sleep in the middle bunk."

"That's so embarrassing."

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Wei and his group were naturally very grateful.

They thanked him profusely and offered him a lot of food, but he declined.

Gu Wei felt that the other person had an imposing presence, sitting upright like a bell and standing like a pine tree, and was also wearing three-piece leather shoes. He asked curiously, "Are you a soldier?"

The man, who had initially looked very serious, grinned and said, "I used to be." Then, a complex and wistful expression appeared on his face.

Gu Wei's heart skipped a beat, and many guesses arose. He immediately regretted asking that question so abruptly.

Zhou Yong could tell from the expression on the well-dressed young man's face that he had misunderstood.

"I've now transferred to a civilian job."

"Oh. It's good that you've arrived at your destination." Gu Wei breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to ask what unit he had been assigned to. He guessed that in this era it was something like the Public Security Bureau or the Armed Forces Department.

Because of his profession, Zhou Yong is quite good at judging people, and he could tell that the young man he was chatting with was a kind person.

"It's alright. At least I have more time to spend with my family."

Just then, Gu Jianguo went to fetch a hot water in an enamel mug, and Gu Wei picked up an aluminum lunchbox and left the sleeper car.
