The next day was Monday, and Gu Wei got up early for once, which was unusual for him.
After breakfast, he rode his motorcycle to take the expectant yet hesitant Gu Hongjie to school.
Because home and school are so close, it doesn't take long to walk there.
Gu Wei deliberately drove around the school for a long time before finally parking his car with a screech in front of the teaching building.
"Did you enjoy that?"
Gu Hongjie got off the motorcycle with his schoolbag on his back. Facing the envious and appraising gazes of the crowd, he was excited, happy and extremely proud. "That was awesome! You don't need to come pick me up at noon."
Seeing Gu Hongjie's pretentious, blushing face, Gu Wei suppressed a laugh and said, "I know, you should go in now, or you'll be late."
Gu Hongjie waved with a smile, then walked up the steps, turning back every few steps.
Gu Wei shook his head, feeling both helpless and amused, and then rode his motorcycle home.
Shortly after we parked in the yard, the horn of a Jiefang truck sounded outside the gate.
When Gu Wei went out, he saw Qiao Xinghai and Yu Jun get out of the car, carrying engine oil and some motorcycle repair tools.
The two of them had heard about Gu Wei buying a motorcycle and came to see it.
Gu Wei warmly welcomed the master and his apprentice.
Qiao Xinghai and his group were professionals, and they knew much more than the other onlookers.
After chatting around the motorcycle for a while, the two of them took a separate ride on the main road.
Although they drive company cars and can use them for personal purposes for various matters, they are not as convenient as Gu Wei, who owns a motorcycle and can go anywhere.
Moreover, in that era, bicycles were still the most popular mode of transportation, while riding a motorcycle on the main road was extremely cool, which made everyone envious.
Yu Jun sat on the motorcycle, almost reluctant to get off, lovingly stroking the mirror and seat.
Gu Wei smiled as he watched this scene, thinking that this was yet another car enthusiast.
"By the way, Brother Gu, didn't you ask me to help you inquire about used cars? I happen to have a friend in another city who has some cars that have been phased out, but I have to ask my boss at work first."
After Qiao Xinghai got to know Gu Wei through Ke Yi, the two had a lot of dealings and Qiao Xinghai benefited from it, so naturally he took Gu Wei's affairs very seriously.
Gu Wei was overjoyed to hear the news so quickly, and a smile appeared on his face. "Really? That's great. If my supervisor agrees, we'll check the car's condition, and if it's not bad, we'll try to buy it."
Buying a used car is as easy as eating or drinking now, unlike in the future.
Since all work units are state-owned, cars are naturally state-owned assets as well.
Even if a car is old and obsolete, it's not something you can just buy whenever you want.
Gu Wei originally wanted to find a way to get one in the forest area, but he couldn't find a suitable one.
Qiao Xinghai smiled and said, "No problem. Once I have definite news, I'll go with you to take a look."
“Okay.” Gu Wei suddenly remembered something. “I might have to go out again soon. If I’m not home then, we’ll talk about it when I get back.”
Since he promised to go on a trip with his girlfriend, he must keep his word. They will be together day and night, and he won't be able to show his face for several days.
Qiao Xinghai immediately said, "No rush, anyway, most people don't have the means to buy it."
Gu Wei had originally planned to have them stay for lunch.
However, the two had other things to attend to and soon said goodbye and left.
Gu Wei and Qiao Xinghai didn't hide their conversation from others, so Gu Jianguo overheard them talking about going out again.
"Gu Wei, you've only been back for a few days and you're leaving again. When will you be back?"
Gu Wei saw worry and reluctance in Gu Jianguo's eyes, and felt a warmth in her heart. "It should take about a week. But plans can change, it might be earlier or later."
As the two were talking, Zhao Dajiang and Tang Jiamei came over to their house.
They had eaten and drunk together on the day of the baby's full moon celebration, and they were all beaming with joy.
Zhao Dajiang now has several large blisters on his lips, and his voice is hoarse when he speaks.
Tang Jiamei had purple bumps of varying sizes on her forehead and neck, and her eyes were red and swollen.
This is enough to show that both of them were engulfed in flames.
Even though Zhao Dajiang had something on his mind, he still smiled when he saw the motorcycle and lingered around it admiringly for a long time.
"Your motorcycle has plenty of power; it can definitely carry a lot of stuff. That's great."
Although the motorcycle Gu Wei bought wasn't the super-luxury version, it was still quite cost-effective and hauling goods was no problem.
Seeing how much Zhao Dajiang liked it, Gu Wei smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, you should buy one too when you've earned enough money."
Zhao Dajiang glanced at Tang Jiamei beside him and chuckled dryly, "Let's talk about it later."
Since they met Gu Wei, their family has made a lot of money selling watches, vegetables, and running a tailor shop.
He could afford the several thousand yuan to buy a motorcycle, but his wife was very thrifty and good at managing the household finances. Once the money was in her hands, it was difficult to get it out of her again.
Tang Jiamei wasn't particularly interested in motorcycles; she just envied Gu Wei for being so good at making money and spending it so readily, buying things worth several thousand yuan without hesitation.
After the two finished talking about motorcycles, he couldn't wait to ask, "Gu Wei, did my Yuanzi tell you about wanting to buy a house?"
"I told him." Gu Wei knew that Zhao Zhengyuan's desire to buy a house was not a secret, and there was no need to hide it.
Tang Jiamei's brows furrowed, and she said resentfully, "This kid is determined to go against us for his wife! He's our only son, and everything will be his in the future, but he insists on buying a house and living separately. Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
