Gu Wei knew that radios weren't that complicated these days, but he wasn't a professional and couldn't see some of the problems. The old man probably mustered up his courage to speak up.
"Actually, I don't know much about it either, but I can take a look for you first."
"Good, good." Old Master Zhu greeted Gu Wei with a smile and ushered him into the house.
Gu Wei usually just walks through the corridor; this is the first time he has entered the house.
Both houses are the same size and layout, but the old man's house, perhaps because it has been lived in for many years, has a more contemporary feel.
The old man took the transistor radio from the maroon cabinet.
Gu Wei did a quick check and found that it was a loose connection. He tried to fix it and actually fixed it.
The old man's face wrinkled with joy. "You're such a smart and capable young man. Thank you so much."
"You're welcome, it was nothing."
Gu Wei felt quite accomplished that he was able to help in some way.
He was about to get up to say goodbye and go home when the old men grabbed him, saying, "Wait a minute, I know you young people like bullets and stuff..."
As he spoke, he reached into the drawer next to him and took out a trinket made of bullets.
Gu Wei then learned that his grandson was a soldier and had been serving for many years.
Listening to the old men proudly recounting the other's heroic deeds, Gu Wei suddenly thought of something that had happened this year, wondering if the old men's grandson would catch up with him...
Busy times always fly by, and by the time the clothing store in the provincial capital opened, it was already mid-June.
Two days after Gu Wei returned to his home at the Forestry Bureau, the wedding day of Jin Hongfei and Wang Shufen arrived.
In the 1980s, the wedding custom was to bring "three turns and one sound," namely a bicycle, a watch, a sewing machine, and a radio.
Because the Jin family's financial situation had improved, in addition to fulfilling these requirements, they also gave the woman a bride price of 800 yuan and a gold ring.
The Wang family was a reasonable family. In addition, Wang Shufen was also working for Gu Wei and earning a generous salary. Besides giving her daughter a dowry of bedding and blankets, just like everyone else, they also bought her a black and white television.
These rooms, temporarily placed in the west wing of the Jin family's house, will be moved there when they return to their rented house in the city.
The Jin family's courtyard was bustling with activity. A stove had been built, and a master chef had been hired to prepare the wedding banquet.
Gu Wei and Gu Jianguo sat at a table for a meal.
Compared to the others who ate quickly and fiercely, Gu Wei ate rather elegantly.
Actually, it wasn't just because he had oil in his stomach; he was also a little distracted.
Looking back, when I unexpectedly arrived in this time and space, it was June of last year. I never imagined that a year would have passed in the blink of an eye.
This is the second time I've attended a wedding.
When Zhao Zhengyuan and the others got married last time, he had only been in this timeline for a few days, and apart from his watch, he didn't have anything else to take out.
This time it was different. He not only borrowed a motorcycle to pick up the bride, but also went on stage as the officiant to read their marriage certificate and give a speech of blessing.
Gu Wei's gaze inadvertently swept over the Zhao family.
Since it was their in-laws' son's wedding, Zhao Dajiang and Tang Jiamei naturally came to attend the ceremony.
Zhao Zhengyuan also had a good relationship with his third sister Zhao Zhengying and her husband Jin Hongda. When he was working as a second saw cutter at the timber processing plant, he often stayed at home, so he came over to help out a long time ago.
However, Yao Shulan and her child did not appear.
Those who know the situation understand why; they probably didn't want to cause any unpleasantness or make things awkward on someone's joyous occasion.
Then it was time for the newlyweds to toast.
The groom, Jin Hongfei, was wearing a light gray suit, his hair styled high with hairspray, and adorned with gold flecks and small pieces of confetti.
The bride wore a red cheongsam, her hair was styled in an updo, her eyebrows were drawn, and she wore red lipstick, making her look much prettier than usual.
They were carrying a tray with white wine and small cups on it.
When it was their turn, Gu Wei stood up like the others at the table.
Jin Hongfei, a little emotional, first toasted Gu Wei, "Brother Gu, without you, we wouldn't have the good life we have today. My wife and I toast you together, hoping your business will grow bigger and bigger, and that you'll soon marry my future sister-in-law."
Gu Wei knew that Jin Hongfei and Jin Hongfei were grateful people, and their blessings at this moment came from the bottom of their hearts.
So he raised his glass, smiled, and said, "Alright, I appreciate your kind words. I also wish you both a happy marriage and many children!"
The two clinked glasses, then tilted their heads back and drank the wine in their glasses.
This immediately drew cheers from the sidelines.
Gu Wei was the wealthiest person present.
Some people admired him, fawned over him, and wanted to get on his good side.
There must be people who are envious, jealous, and resentful.
Those who were close to him knew that Gu Wei had started another business in the provincial capital.
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever.
Even if you want to hide it, the truth will eventually come out.
Despite the probing and strange looks and whispers from some people, Gu Wei continued eating and drinking with a calm expression.
Gu Hongjie, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but say unhappily, "Those people at those tables, who claim to be city people, are just like some old women from the countryside we used to live in. They're probably gossiping about you."
Gu Wei chuckled, ruffled his hair, and said softly, "People can say whatever they want, it's not like I'm going to lose a piece of my flesh."
Gu Wei didn't care what others thought. As long as he acted uprightly, he wasn't afraid of what people would say.
