Gu Jianguo's mouth gaped open in surprise, then he realized what he meant and exclaimed in disbelief, "Girl? The one you've taken a liking to?"
Gu Wei smiled and nodded, "Yes!"
Then he dropped another bombshell.
"Furthermore, we have already established a romantic relationship."
Gu Jianguo, both surprised and delighted, suddenly stood up from the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). "You have a girlfriend! You're such a quiet guy, always getting things done! How old is she? What does she do? She must be really beautiful!"
Faced with a barrage of questions, Gu Wei replied with a smile, "She's still in college, so she's naturally quite good-looking. I'll show you her photos in a few days."
Although I haven't taken any photos of Zhou Wenyi with a Seagull camera yet, it's not difficult to do so.
All he needs to do is find a reason to choose clothes for Zhou Wenyi that fit the era, and then find a suitable location to take photos.
When Gu Jianguo saw that Gu Wei's story was so detailed and he could even produce photos, he immediately believed it and excitedly pounded his fist on his palm.
"That's great! That's great! Now not only us, but your parents can also rest assured... You're a college student, you're really something."
Seeing Gu Jianguo so happy made Gu Wei very happy too.
At the same time, it evoked mixed feelings.
Because they are ultimately separated by two different times and spaces, they can never bring a person to their closest relatives.
He realized something, quickly composed himself, and instructed, "Grandpa, we've only just started dating, and things aren't stable yet. For now, only a few of us in the family know. Don't tell anyone else."
Gu Jianguo nodded in deep agreement, "Yes, yes, especially since you're doing well in business, and that girl is a college student. It wouldn't be good if people were envious, jealous, or gossiping."
No matter where you are, there will always be people who are jealous and resentful, and who are malicious and envious. It's best to keep a low profile.
Afterwards, Gu Jianguo asked more questions about the girl.
Gu Wei responded with a mix of truth and falsehood, trying his best to be as discreet as possible.
After Gu Wei finished eating and had just put down his bowl, Gu Jianguo urged him to go and rest.
Gu Wei then readily agreed and returned to his own house.
Even when no one else is home, someone still heats the kang (a traditional heated bed) and cleans it every day.
Therefore, apart from feeling a bit deserted when I entered the room, it was pretty much the same as before I left.
Gu Wei took off his clothes, changed into something more comfortable, and then lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) covered with a mattress.
No matter what happens outside, coming back here makes me feel relaxed and at ease.
Gu Wei had only intended to lie down and take a nap, but he unknowingly fell asleep...
Because Gu Wei found a girlfriend who was also very well-off, Gu Jianguo felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. He not only worked with renewed vigor but also walked with a confident stride.
They couldn't wait to use the excuse of going to buy groceries to call Li Guizhi out of the store.
Then he excitedly shared the good news.
"Gu Wei has a girlfriend! She found him in Beijing, and he's a college student too!"
When Li Guizhi found out, she was very happy. "Really? This kid is really amazing. He had college students interested in him, and he even managed to find a college student as a partner."
Then she couldn't help but glance at Gu Jianguo, "See what I told you? When to find a partner and what kind of partner to find, the girl herself definitely knows what she wants. You don't need to interfere."
If she hadn't been keeping a close eye on him during the New Year, her husband might have blurted out his complaints without thinking, upsetting the other people's children and making their New Year celebrations less than ideal.
Gu Jianguo scratched the back of his head sheepishly and nodded vigorously in agreement, “It really is what you said. Back then, I was just worrying blindly. I saw that Yuanzi had already had a child, but he didn’t even have a girlfriend. Even a young man like him needs to hurry up. Especially since he has helped our family so much, if we delay things, not to mention whether Honghe and the others will blame us, I will feel guilty.”
Li Guizhi understood her husband's feelings. "Yes, if Gu Wei hadn't appeared, we don't know what kind of life we would be living now. We wouldn't be able to eat and drink well or even buy a house. But now it's all good. He's found someone, and we can all rest easy."
Gu Jianguo pursed his lips. "To say I'm at ease, I can't say I'm completely at ease. I won't be able to rest easy until the young couple gets married."
"Well, what can you do? The girl is a college student, while Gu Wei is handsome and rich but just a self-employed guy. There's definitely a difference in their education levels. There must be plenty of knowledgeable and cultured male students on campus, and they live far apart. I'll have to put in a lot more effort to win her over. Maybe I should teach him a few tricks when I have some free time..."
Gu Jianguo was too embarrassed to mention these things in front of Gu Wei, but it was different with his wife; he could speak freely.
Li Guizhi frowned and scolded lightly, "Alright! Those two young people have just started dating, they don't need your advice. You're already in your thirties, what can I possibly say to you?"
Gu Jianguo was thoroughly convinced of his mistake and said, "I was wrong, wife."
Li Guizhi was worried that Gu Jianguo would speak recklessly, so she gave him a few more instructions.
Gu Jianguo also told her about his decision, which was currently only known to his family.
The two went to the farmers' market and bought a lot of meat and vegetables, and then started preparing lunch.
Gu Wei took a nap, and when he woke up again, he looked at...
It's almost 11 o'clock.
On a whim, he decided to go to the school to pick up Gu Hongjie.
The First Primary School is not far from his home; it's just a short walk away.
At this time, unlike decades later, there were not many parents picking up their children.
