Even without being told what happened, Gu Wei could guess what it was about.
Once the money was in Aunt Zhao's hands, it was like a mythical creature that only took in but never gave out; it was difficult to get it out again.
He couldn't help but pat the other person on the shoulder and comfort them, "You have to look forward to life. You're young and capable of making money, so what are you afraid of?"
Zhao Zhengyuan nodded vigorously, "Brother Gu, that's what I think too. Let bygones be bygones. I won't take the money from my mother if I can't get it back. Once we buy a house, I'll live my own life, and nobody can interfere with us anymore!"
Gu Wei felt that in less than a year, Zhao Zhengyuan had really matured and grown up. He was no longer the naive young man she had first met who couldn't even hold a sip of sesame oil in his belly.
Hearing that they were going to look at houses, Zhao Zhengying, who was heavily pregnant, also wanted to go along.
As the third sister, my brother buying a house is a big deal. If I can afford it, I will accompany him; if I can't, I will find a way to go.
Gu Wei couldn't possibly disagree.
So, including Gu Jianguo, the four of them went to the street behind.
The location was better than Gu Wei had imagined; it was right next to the main road, so opening a shop there wasn't out of the question.
Moreover, with continuous development and construction in the future, demolition and relocation will definitely occur.
The houses were all built by the military when the forest area was being developed. They are all wooden structures and have been inhabited for a long time. They are constantly being repaired and maintained, so they are in pretty good condition.
The front yard, like Gu Wei's house, had a firewood shed, a storage room, a stack of firewood, and a small vegetable garden.
There's also land in the backyard, where several fruit trees are planted, and the toilet is in the corner.
Gu Wei didn't know much about fruit trees, especially since it was springtime and they were bare, making them even less noticeable.
Gu Jianguo, however, recognized them at a glance: plum trees, wild apple trees, and crabapple trees.
After much pleading and haggling, Zhao Zhengyuan managed to get a 50 yuan discount and bought the house.
Fearing that things might change and Aunt Zhao might cause trouble again, they went to the housing management bureau to complete the transfer of ownership while there was still time.
Gu Wei finally learned the names the couple had given their child: Nan Nan as a nickname and Zhao Shengnan as a formal name.
The meaning is self-evident.
When Gu Hongjie came home from school, he was overjoyed because Gu Wei was home.
After hearing about this, she even made arrangements to go and see the newly bought house.
Although it was just a front street and a back street, not far away, Gu Wei took him there on his motorcycle, completely satisfying the man's urgent desire to ride a motorcycle.
A house is perhaps the foundation for Chinese people to settle down and make a living.
Having a house is like having roots and a sense of security.
Afterwards, a beaming Zhao Zhengyuan bought a lot of food and drinks and brought them home, intending to drink with Gu Wei until they were completely drunk.
Gu Wei, though physically present, was still thinking about spending time with his girlfriend later; he couldn't possibly keep drinking with this silly boy.
He directed the conflict towards Gu Jianguo and Jin Hongda, encouraging them to drink and have a good time.
Then he pretended to be drunk and went back to his own house.
It was common knowledge that Gu Wei had a low alcohol tolerance, so no one doubted it.
And seeing that he had turned off the lights and was resting, Li Guizhi and the others told the loud men who were drunk to keep their voices down...
After returning to the modern world, Gu Wei took a quick shower, changed his clothes, and went to his girlfriend's house.
Zhou Wenyi smelled a faint scent of alcohol on Gu Wei, but she didn't find it unpleasant.
Gu Wei saw that Zhou Wenyi was watching a very popular drama, so he sat down and watched it with her for a while.
Compared to Gu Wei's composure, Zhou Wenyi seemed somewhat absent-minded.
She thought for a moment, then went to lay out the pink yoga mat that was placed to the side in the open space.
"Why not watch a show while practicing yoga?"
"Sure. Do you need my help?" Gu Wei asked enthusiastically, his deep eyes shining with a unique light.
Zhou Wenyi glanced at him with a half-smile, "What do you think?"
Gu Wei understood immediately and promptly began to assist.
Practicing yoga has great benefits for the body.
It can not only strengthen the body, but also make people energetic and radiant.
However, for beginners, the overall posture is rather stiff, and some advanced movements cannot be performed.
You have to adapt slowly and practice diligently for a period of time before you can become proficient.
As the ending theme song of the TV series played, Zhou Wenyi's yoga session came to an end.
Lying on the yoga mat, she was sweating profusely, and the hair at her temples and forehead was wet.
Although Gu Wei was there to help, he also started sweating because of the high indoor temperature.
Looking at each other's somewhat disheveled appearance, they both felt both amused and sweet.
Gu Wei didn't return home until after 11 p.m.
The reason I didn't stay overnight at Zhou Wenyi's place was...
Besides not wanting to be caught in an awkward situation by the Zhou family, he also had some other concerns.
After all, he was someone who carried a secret, so he often had to be extra careful.
Especially since the 85s have just returned from out of town, who knows who might disturb their peaceful sleep early in the morning.
If you find the door locked and no one is inside, that would be a big problem.
Gu Wei went back to the 1980s to sleep.
It had been a while since I'd slept in a heated kang bed, and it felt quite comfortable to snuggle into the warm quilt and lie down.
Especially the quilts that have been sun-dried have a pleasant smell.
Although some people said they were the corpses of mites, Gu Wei still liked them very much.
He fell asleep not long after.
The next day, when Gu Wei woke up, it was already past 8 o'clock.
After washing up, he ate a late breakfast before riding his motorcycle into the city.
