Hou Yongxian had actually seen through his granddaughter's little schemes long ago.
After all, Gu Wei is a good person, good-looking, and capable of making money. He has helped her several times in times of need.
Throughout history, many young women have had stories of heroes rescuing damsels in distress.
As someone who's been through it all, he can understand.
However, he used to think that Gu Wei was just a kid who hadn't figured things out yet.
Thinking of boiling a frog in lukewarm water.
It's not impossible for the two children to gradually get to know each other.
But now that he has witnessed it with his own eyes, he feels that his granddaughter's feelings are unrequited.
Since that's the case, it's better to cut off those inappropriate thoughts as soon as possible, lest she be the one who gets hurt in the end.
But his daughter's experiences and his guilt towards his two children made him hesitant to express his opinion.
They worry that the hard-won, harmonious relationship might change.
Therefore, this matter needs to be considered carefully.
Gu Wei lacked the ability to listen to others' thoughts, so naturally he was unaware of the undercurrents beneath the calm surface and the intentions of others.
I could hear the continuous sound of firecrackers outside.
Gu Wei was also somewhat tempted.
"Are you guys going out to set off fireworks?"
"Go! Go!"
"Wow!"
Gu Hongjie and Lin Hang responded enthusiastically and immediately put on their coats.
Lin Yu bit her lip and followed suit, putting on her cotton-padded coat.
Gu Wei quickly put on his down jacket and left the house first.
He moved the fireworks he had bought in advance out of the storage room.
I originally planned to put it in the yard, but after looking at the space, I moved it outside the gate.
The children from the neighborhood were setting off firecrackers in small groups.
Upon seeing Gu Wei and the others bring out the fireworks, they surged forward like a tidal wave.
Gu Hongjie immediately became the target of intense surveillance and attention.
Gu Wei couldn't help but laugh when he saw the smug look on his face.
Over the past six months, my father has undergone a complete transformation.
She is no longer the child who could be bullied by everyone.
They are more confident and have more of their own ideas and opinions.
He didn't know whether this change was good or bad.
But at least for now, it seems good.
As Gu Wei continued to light the flames.
Fireworks shot into the sky with a loud bang.
This attracted many people who walked over and stopped to watch.
After all, these days, most working-class families live ordinary lives, and for the New Year, they usually just buy a few strings of firecrackers.
People like Gu Wei who set off fireworks on such a grand scale are not uncommon, but they are very rare.
Watching the fireworks bloom, Gu Hongjie and Lin Hang were undoubtedly the happiest.
While waiting, Gu Hongjie loudly told Gu Wei, "This year has been the happiest and most joyful New Year I've ever had!"
Lin Hang quickly chimed in, "It's the best New Year I've ever had since I can remember!"
Gu Wei knew how poor they had been in the past, and with mixed feelings, he put his arm around the shoulders of the two children, saying, "Things will definitely get better year by year."
After they finished setting off the fireworks, the Spring Festival Gala began.
Everyone sat around the television, watching with great excitement and concentration.
The hosts include Ma Ji, Jiang Kun, Zhang Yu, Zhu Yuanyi, and Banban.
The male host wore a red shirt and a white suit, while the female host wore a skirt suit, which vividly demonstrated the progress of the times.
The first program is the Peking Opera "One Hundred Monkeys Welcoming Spring".
Gu Wei couldn't understand why so many monkeys were used to start the Year of the Ox.
Moreover, Sun Wukong crashed directly into the railing upon his arrival.
The TV series Huo Yuanjia became incredibly popular after it aired, and its theme song, "The Great Wall Will Never Fall," became a hit everywhere.
When this song was performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage, many people were filled with excitement.
Although Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's comedy sketches were adapted into movies, they still managed to make people laugh out loud.
However, because Chen Peisi was only wearing a vest and a jacket, and he had to pour water on himself to create the effect of sweating, Gu Wei could almost feel the cold and shivering through the screen.
Finally, it was time for the prize-winning basketball shooting segment.
Even though they missed several shots and the scene was a bit awkward, it didn't stop everyone from going crazy for the women's volleyball team's five consecutive championships.
Unfortunately, out of more than ten commemorative tickets, I didn't even win a bronze medal for fourth prize.
The two children couldn't help but sigh.
But the thought of getting an aluminum commemorative medal made him smile again.
Hou Yongxian and his group said goodbye and left around 10 o'clock.
Gu Wei and Gu Jianguo started making dumplings to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.
I made two kinds of dumpling fillings: beef and scallion, and cabbage and pork.
Li Guizhi also picked out a clean one-cent coin and randomly wrapped it in a dumpling.
After the dumplings were cooked and served, Gu Hongjie focused on eating them as quickly as possible to earn a penny, and didn't even touch the meat and vegetables.
Gu Wei found it extremely funny and deliberately teased him, "I think this looks like it on Grandpa's plate."
"Really? Then I want to eat it."
Gu Hongjie excitedly picked it up and put it in his mouth.
Unfortunately, that's not the case.
After a while, Gu Wei casually picked up a beef and scallion dumpling, and as soon as he took a bite, he felt something hard on his stomach.
Wait until he picks out the coins.
Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi both smiled happily.
"Great! Your luck with money is sure to be exceptionally good this year."
"The business gets bigger and bigger."
Gu Hongjie smirked, "It's true what they say, 'You can't force things to go right, but a careless act can lead to a thriving business.' You're lucky you have money."
Gu Wei, however, guessed something from Li Guizhi's expression, but he saw through it but didn't say anything.
