"You know, Gu Wei isn't photogenic, is his girlfriend like that too?"
"That's possible. Some good-looking people actually look even better in person than in photos."
Gu Jianguo put down the photo. "That's wonderful! Both of them are so good-looking. Their children will definitely be beautiful. Speaking of which, the men in our Gu family are all quite good at finding wives. When you were young, you weren't any less attractive than this girl."
Li Guizhi rolled her eyes at him, "Stop talking nonsense! Go to sleep!"
Gu Jianguo chuckled and lay back down.
A few days later.
Gu Wei finally passed his driving test and received his probationary driver's license.
Next, he will need to undergo a year-long internship.
During this period, if any accident occurs due to liability, the supervisory department will revoke the driver's license at any time.
Gu Wei was assigned to Qiao Xinghai's workplace, and Qiao Xinghai became his mentor.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to worry about whether you will be able to get a valid driver's license smoothly.
Now that I've received my internship certificate, it's time to start thinking about buying a car.
However, in the 1980s, unlike decades later, people could simply go to a dealership and pick up a car if they wanted one and there were cars in stock.
There are many procedures to go through.
Moreover, some city leaders, both big and small, commute to work by bicycle, so he, a self-employed individual, can't be too high-profile. He'll just buy a used car to drive for now.
Otherwise, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.
They will definitely not get away with it.
It rains incessantly during the Qingming Festival.
Instead of rain, a cold front arrived in the forest area, causing the temperature to drop significantly.
Gu Wei also personally participated in the activity of burning paper money and sending money to the deceased.
As Gu Jianguo and the others muttered, "Dad, Mom, let's collect the money," they placed the paper money and ingots into the small area they had marked.
Gazing at the burning flames, Gu Wei silently recited the same words in his heart.
May my great-grandparents, whom I have never met, bless him so that he may successfully change the fate of his family.
Finally, the family of four left the intersection and went home only after they had all turned to black ash.
Even though the elderly people have passed away for many years, Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi still feel uneasy and can't help but recall the past when they can't sleep.
Everything returned to normal by the next morning.
After all, to live, one needs to eat, drink, and relieve oneself; one must look forward and not always look back.
Today is the day Zhao Zhengyuan's daughter celebrates her one-month birthday.
Gu Wei felt that time seemed to have slipped away unnoticed.
When their child was born, it was after the Lantern Festival. The event happened suddenly that day, and it was Gu Hongjie who came home to report it. Some scenes are still vivid in my mind.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Gu Wei didn't know what to give as a gift, so he ended up buying a pair of small gold bracelets for the child in the city.
Gold was cheap in the 1980s, and the weight was small, so it didn't cost much.
But Zhao Dajiang and his colleagues were deeply moved.
Even though everyone knew that Gu Wei was wealthy and generous in business, no one expected him to send such a congratulatory gift.
After exchanging pleasantries and polite exchanges, Zhao Zhengyuan specially brought his awake daughter out of the west room.
Behind him followed Yao Shulan, who was dressed in thicker clothes and had a somewhat sallow complexion.
Zhao Zhengyuan proudly showed off to him, "Brother Gu, look at my daughter, isn't she?"
This was the first time Gu Wei had seen this baby who was just over a month old, and he began to observe him closely.
The little girl was wrapped tightly in a small floral quilt, with only her head and two thin arms showing.
She had sparse hair, somewhat thin eyebrows, a small nose, small eyes, and a small mouth, giving her a delicate and pretty appearance.
Gu Wei looked at Zhao Zhengyuan, then at Yao Shulan, and felt that she resembled her mother more.
"Okay. The little girl is very pretty."
Zhao Zhengyuan immediately beamed with joy and even kissed the child's cheek. He was no longer the person who had been somewhat displeased about having a daughter.
Yao Shulan was especially grateful to Gu Wei.
Because she knew that if Gu Wei hadn't spoken up, her husband would have continued to appease her and not cared about her and their child at all. She might have collapsed before she even finished her postpartum confinement.
"Brother Gu, thank you, you've gone to so much trouble."
Gu Wei, of course, understood Yao Shulan's implied meaning: she was thanking him for more than just the bracelet. He waved his hand and laughed, "It's for my niece, how can you call it a waste?"
After chatting and laughing for a while, the child started to yawn.
Yao Shulan quickly took the child back to the west room.
Gu Wei drank a lot of tea after entering the house and got up to go to the toilet in the backyard of the Zhao family.
Zhao Zhengyuan followed him around like a bodyguard.
Gu Weiming understood; this guy had something to say to him.
So after coming out of the wooden toilet, I didn't rush back.
"Why are you being so hesitant today?"
Zhao Zhengyuan knew that nothing could escape Gu Wei's eyes. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Brother Gu, watches aren't selling as well as they used to. I also have a child now. If I go too far, my mother will be angry with us. She'll be spending a lot of time at the tailor shop, and my father will have to start farming on the mountain again. My wife will be the only one at home taking care of the child, and I'm really worried about her. Besides, she'll have to go back to work after her maternity leave. So I'm thinking, should we do something else?"
Ever since Gu Wei enlightened him that day, Zhao Zhengyuan has resolutely stood on Yao Shulan's side.
Although he was scolded and complained about by his mother a lot for this, who said that he had forgotten his mother after getting married.
But to my delight, my wife's mood improved a lot, and the child stopped crying so often.
The mother-in-law, who was originally a troublesome person, has changed her attitude towards him this time.
