Because there were many people, a table was placed in the living room and on the floor of the east room, and a kang table was also placed on the kang.
The table was covered with plates and bowls, and Gu Wei made a point of thanking everyone for their hard work after they left.
Zhao Dajiang and the others were overjoyed to be able to help and said there was no need to be so polite.
For a moment, the warm, spring-like room became exceptionally lively.
Gu Wei sat down at the table in the living room, with Jin Hongda on his left and Zhao Zhengyuan on his right.
Unexpectedly, after only a few bites of food, Jin Hongda quietly shared some good news with Gu Wei.
"Brother Gu, I guess I'll be a dad soon!"
Gu Wei looked surprised and delighted. "Congratulations!"
"Brother Gu, don't rush to congratulate us. They said the timeframe is too short, and they'll have to wait a few more days to find out," Jin Hongda whispered. "It's not confirmed yet, so we haven't dared to tell anyone, afraid that in the end..."
Gu Wei didn't understand these things either, but he could understand the two people's thoughts.
Since Zhao Zhengyuan and his wife got married so quickly and had a child so easily, the pressure has fallen on Jin Hongda and his wife, who hadn't been in a hurry to have children before.
The Jin family parents are both very understanding people, but they can't help but be anxious about their grandson.
"You did the right thing. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Jin Hongda quickly said, "I definitely trust you, Brother Gu, I just couldn't help but want to tell you about this."
Gu Wei patted his shoulder reassuringly, "I understand. No matter how things turn out, you need to make sure you get enough nutrition now..."
Jin Hongda nodded repeatedly, clearly having taken it to heart.
The two whispered to each other and patted each other, which attracted Zhao Zhengyuan's attention.
He leaned closer and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, just chatting." Gu Wei changed the subject, "When is your wife giving birth?"
Zhao Zhengyuan scratched his head and said with a smile, "I don't know exactly when she'll give birth. But my wife is definitely carrying a son!"
"How did you know?" Gu Wei asked curiously. "Did you check it out?"
Zhao Zhengyuan shook his head, "No. But my mom said, 'Sour for a boy, spicy for a girl,' and my wife has been craving sour foods since she got pregnant, so it must be a boy. Besides, the one-child policy only allows one child now, and I'm on leave without pay. Shulan is still a teacher, so it has to be a son in her belly..."
His words made Gu Wei want to facepalm.
Decades later, perhaps the old feudal ideas of valuing sons over daughters will have weakened.
In some regions, having a daughter is considered an honor.
However, in the 1980s, it seems that many people felt they had to have a son.
The next day.
Gu Wei slept until he naturally woke up.
When I woke up, I could still taste the alcohol in my mouth.
He couldn't stand it anymore and quickly got up, dressed, and went to wash up.
Although I traveled by sleeper train both ways, I wasn't too tired or exhausted while sightseeing.
But I still have an indescribable soreness all over my body.
He's in this state, so Gu Jianguo and the others probably aren't much better off...
