Gu Wei smiled and said, "You've all worked hard since the opening, so we're giving you a holiday starting from the afternoon of the 30th of the lunar month until the sixth day of the new year, so that everyone can have a good New Year. Plus, you'll still get your base salary during these days."
With only a few days left until Chinese New Year, many people are preparing for the holiday and have already bought most of their New Year's goods.
However, many working people will only have time to buy things when the Lunar New Year approaches on the 29th or 30th.
Therefore, Gu Wei decided to stay open until the morning of the 30th.
Of course, before the holiday, all the goods in the store must be packed up and taken away, so as to avoid having to have someone keep watch at night.
As soon as Gu Wei finished speaking, everyone's faces lit up with ecstasy.
They had previously discussed and speculated privately about whether there would be a holiday.
Most people think that with business so good, the boss shouldn't be willing to close down, and at most, he would take turns giving employees holidays.
Unexpectedly, not only did they really close for the holiday, but they stayed closed for such a long time.
It's just like a holiday when you're working in a factory or government office!
As soon as the holiday was announced, everyone was energized and became even more enthusiastic about selling goods.
Gu Wei then left with Gu Hongjie.
The two of them had finally made it to the city, so they definitely wanted to do some shopping before heading back.
Even though most of the New Year's goods at home have already been purchased.
But since it was their first time celebrating the New Year together, Gu Wei took it very seriously, always feeling that it wasn't enough.
Finally, in addition to a bunch of food, drinks and other necessities, we also bought firecrackers and fireworks.
Fortunately, Gu Wei had come prepared and had stored the bicycle at the designated parking area.
Otherwise, with so much stuff they're carrying home, even if they're not far apart, they'd be exhausted.
Gu Jianguo and his colleagues had become accustomed to Gu Wei's extravagant spending.
Although they no longer said anything, they didn't want to keep taking advantage of Gu Wei without giving anything back.
The next day, they bought a lot more things, including large bags and small packages, and brought them home.
They also went to the farm and bought half a pig and dozens of kilograms of beef and mutton from the villagers.
Looking at the New Year's goods piled up in the warehouse, enough to feed dozens of people, Gu Wei was both amused and exasperated.
However, he can also understand his grandparents' actions.
Gu Jianguo came out carrying a thermos and happened to see Gu Wei standing at the door of the warehouse. Worried that he might overthink things, he quickly went up to him and said, "I thought it was just in time for people to slaughter livestock, so I bought a few extra. It's cold now and they can freeze, so they won't spoil. We can eat them slowly during the first month of the lunar year."
Gu Wei smiled approvingly, "Good purchase. Grandpa, I was just wondering where to find someone to slaughter meat fresh and buy some."
"It's good that you bought it, which saves me the trouble of buying it myself. Besides, we'll be closed for a few days during the Lunar New Year holiday, and you'll be cooking stews, barbecues, and hot pot for us. Plus, with other guests coming to our house for the New Year, it might all be gone before the first month of the lunar calendar is over."
“Yes, yes, that’s what I was thinking.” Seeing that Gu Wei was quite happy, Gu Jianguo also smiled. “Besides your Grandpa Hou, your Uncle Zhao, and Yingzi’s parents-in-law, there will be quite a few people coming to our house. Well, the more people there are, the more we can eat, so we don’t have to worry about leftovers.”
Having put things out in the open, Gu Jianguo felt relieved and quickly walked ahead with light steps.
Gu Wei stood there, watching Gu Jianguo's figure, and shook his head with a helpless smile.
The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
The next day is Lunar New Year's Eve.
Gu Wei went to bed early last night, so he naturally woke up early today as well.
Some braised dishes, such as pig's trotters, pig's tail, pig's liver, etc.
Gu Jianguo had already prepared the pig's head, pork hock, and pork belly stewed in a large pot.
Therefore, their breakfast is very substantial.
Gu Wei picked up a slice of braised pork knuckle and found it fragrant but not greasy, so he couldn't help but praise it a few times.
Gu Jianguo's hard work was recognized, and he smiled broadly, urging her to eat more.
Just as they were enjoying their breakfast in a pleasant atmosphere, a chorus of barking dogs suddenly came from the yard.
Judging from the sounds, it seemed like it was someone they didn't know very well, otherwise the dogs wouldn't have been barking so loudly.
Who is it?
"Yes. Guangfeng went back."
"I'll go see who's here so early."
Gu Hongjie quickly put on a coat and ran out of the house.
Gu Wei and the others stopped eating and looked out into the courtyard through the plastic sheeting windows.
Soon, Gu Hongjie opened the door.
Then a man walked in.
Gu Wei narrowed his eyes, recognized Zhou Kai, and his heart skipped a beat.
Since Zhou Kai went to the city to take charge of night watch, he has never come to our house.
At this critical juncture, their sudden arrival definitely indicates something is amiss.
Gu Jianguo and the others also became nervous and worried.
The two quickly went inside.
Seeing Zhou Kai's expression, Gu Wei became even more certain of something and asked directly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhou Kai hurriedly said, "Brother Gu, last night, someone tried to burn down our shop. Luckily, Binzi and I smelled smoke and realized something was wrong..."
Gu Wei and Gu Jianguo's expressions changed drastically. No one expected such a thing to happen, and they asked in unison.
Are you all alright?
Where is Li Bin?
Zhou Kai licked his dry lips. "We're all fine. We just didn't catch the culprit, but we filed a police report!"
Once he was sure both of them were alright, Gu Weixin breathed a sigh of relief and said approvingly, "Good job reporting this! This kind of thing must be reported! And it's not your fault that you didn't catch them; professional matters should be handled by professionals."
When Zhou Kai saw that the God of Wealth only asked about their health but didn't care at all about how badly the shop had been burned or complain about them, he felt a warmth in his heart and realized that he hadn't followed the wrong person.
