Chapter 135 A Sigh



"Grandpa Hou, when do you plan to leave?"

"Recently. After the Lantern Festival, the New Year celebrations will be over, and even if you don't want to leave, you'll have to go."

After Hou Yongxian finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh softly, looking at Gu Wei with a somewhat complicated expression.

He really liked Gu Wei, this young man, because he was kind-hearted, generous, and magnanimous.

But seeing his granddaughter fall deeply in love, he certainly couldn't just sit idly by.

However, taking someone away is not something that can be done overnight.

Gu Wei had no idea what Hou Yongxian was thinking.

I thought that on this day of family reunion, they were feeling down because they were sending lanterns to the cemetery, hence their sighs and lamentations.

He comforted him gently, "Grandpa Hou, don't be sad. A year will pass in the blink of an eye. If you miss Xiaohang and the others, and it's inconvenient for you to come back by yourself, you can wait until summer vacation and send someone to deliver goods and bring them to Beijing at the same time."

"That's true." Hou Yongxian stared at Gu Wei and asked, "Do you have any plans to visit the capital?"

Gu Wei frankly admitted, "Yes, I might go sometime."

After obtaining a household registration in this time and space, Gu Wei planned to travel around, but he didn't manage to do so because it was too cold in winter.

When spring arrives and the weather warms up, I'll definitely want to travel around, learn more about the local customs and traditions, and taste all kinds of delicious food.

Moreover, some arrangements need to be made to ensure a more stable life.

However, he couldn't promise Hou Yongxian that he would go during the summer vacation and bring his siblings with him.

Because if you go there, you'll definitely have to go via the Antai route, which will save you a lot of distance and time.

Hou Yongxian said solemnly, "You must come to us then. You have the address."

"Okay, definitely."

For some reason, Gu Wei read something puzzling into Hou Yongxian's expression.

Although it's already March, it's still a bit cold in the forest at night.

In addition, the wind was blowing sharply along the river.

The ground beneath my feet was still covered in a thick layer of ice, and the chill seeped straight into my body.

Even if you wear a lot of clothes, you'll still get chilled if you stay in there for too long.

Therefore, everyone quickly reached the shore.

We traveled together for a while, then parted ways at a fork in the road.

After arriving home, Gu Wei and the others took off their coats and cotton shoes, and went to the kang (heated brick bed) to warm up before they were completely warmed up.

Gu Hongjie kept his promise and prepared to feed the three dogs bones.

They've had quite a few tough times during the Lunar New Year.

But it's impossible to feed it all to the dog at once.

Therefore, it was contained in a bucket in the corner of the warehouse.

Gu Wei and Gu Hongjie put on their shoes and went down to the ground, picked out a few large bones, and fed them.

Under the bright moonlight, watching them hold down a large bone with their claws and eat it with relish, Gu Wei actually felt a little hungry.

"How about we eat something later?"

Gu Hongjie rubbed his somewhat deflated stomach. "Great, everything I ate last night has been digested."

As a result, after the two entered the house one after the other, Gu Jianguo had already started heating up the dishes.

"Grandpa, you and we are so in sync."

"Yes, Dad, we were just discussing eating some more."

While stirring the pork ribs and potatoes in the large ladle, Gu Jianguo said with a smile, "I knew you two would get hungry as soon as I thought about it. You're young and digest things quickly."

In the end, Li Guizhi refused to eat, so the three of them ate another meal...

The next day.

Gu Wei still slept until he naturally woke up.

I checked the time and it was already past 8 o'clock.

Because I ate too much at night, I didn't feel hungry when I woke up in the morning.

So after he washed up, he went next door, opened the pot lid, looked at the contents, and then put the lid back on.

I turned on the TV casually and had only watched a few programs when someone came over.

Seeing Xu Kailin enter the hospital with Gu Jianguo, Gu Wei was a little surprised, but at the same time felt it was expected, and immediately got up and went out.

Xu Kailin, carrying two large bags, immediately broke into a smile the moment he saw Gu Wei push open the door and come out. His somewhat thin and sallow face was covered with smiles.

"Brother Gu, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, come inside quickly."

Gu Wei keenly sensed that Xu Kailin probably didn't have a good New Year.

Because his condition was very different from when he took his grandparents to the provincial capital last time.

Gu Jianguo brought the person over, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then returned to the front.

Xu Kailin rubbed his hands together and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, something unexpected happened and I was delayed. Otherwise, I would have come to wish you a Happy New Year much earlier!"

Gu Wei paused in his pouring of water and asked directly, "What's wrong? Is it convenient to tell me?"

Xu Kailin gave a wry smile. "Of course it's convenient to talk about. I had bad eyesight and mistook you for someone else. As a result, I was put in jail for more than ten days. If it weren't for the good guys who worked with me and found someone to pay to get me out, you might not even be able to see me now, Brother Gu. I would have been sentenced to at least a few years."

Gu Wei guessed that Xu Kailin had encountered some trouble, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

He was also greatly shocked.

"Where is the person who got you arrested?"

Xu Kailin laughed sarcastically, "He redeemed himself through meritorious service."

Next, he explained the matter in detail.

It turns out that they saw Xu Kailin making money from reselling watches and even planning to buy a house.

Many people in the know also had the idea.

His partner's younger brother wanted to join him in the business.

Later, Xu Kailin couldn't resist his girlfriend's request and reluctantly agreed.

But at the same time, they also agreed on three rules with the other party.

After all, reselling electronic watches is still considered speculation and smuggling, and must be done secretly, so one must be cautious and discreet.
