Lin Yu silently watched Gu Wei, who had become even more handsome and upright after not seeing him for some time. When she saw his gaze sweep over her, she quickly concealed the strange look in her eyes and greeted him on behalf of her younger brother.
[I highly recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]
After Gu Wei responded with a "hey," he noticed Lin Hang's pale face and listless appearance, and asked with concern, "Is Xiao Hang alright?"
Lin Hang quickly perked up and said, "It's nothing. Brother Gu, I'll eat something and feel better."
Ke Yi, carrying a handbag, looked at Lin Hang with concern and pursed his lips.
Gu Wei knew that it would take an overnight train ride from the forest area to the provincial capital, and even strong adults would feel tired and exhausted, let alone Lin Hang, a child with a congenital heart condition. So he immediately led them towards the station exit.
Once he confirmed that the white car parked not far from the exit was Gu Wei's new car, Gu Hongjie exclaimed "Wow!" with delight and ran over.
Gu Wei smiled and shook his head. He turned around and saw that Lin Hang and Lin Yu seemed to have similar expressions to Gu Hongjie, only more reserved.
Actually, there were breakfast shops in front of the station at this time, but Gu Wei still drove them to a well-known old steamed bun shop.
On the way there, Gu Hongjie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, never stopped touching this and that or asking all sorts of questions.
Even after we sat down to eat breakfast in the shop, I kept glancing at the cars outside.
Gu Wei had no choice but to order helplessly, "Stop looking at the car, it's not going to get stolen. Eat your food properly."
Gu Hongjie playfully stuck out his tongue. "I'm eating." As he spoke, he quickly took a big bite of the pork bun in his hand and then drank a mouthful of thick rice porridge.
Seeing the envy on Lin Hang's face, Gu Wei said gently, "You should all eat more, and order more if you're still hungry."
"That's enough, that's enough, Brother Gu."
"Brother Gu, I can't eat anymore," Lin Yu said softly.
Although Ke Yi is a strong and powerful man, he also has a meticulous side.
Perhaps he hadn't noticed Lin Yu's feelings for Gu Wei before, but now that he's back, he understands everything.
Thinking about how beautiful Gu Wei's girlfriend was, he could only sigh inwardly.
After the meal, Gu Wei took the person to the guesthouse.
He left the siblings to rest and then took Ke Yi and Gu Hongjie to find Xu Kailin to help them buy sleeper tickets.
It's more than a thousand kilometers from the provincial capital to Beijing. Normally, I can grit my teeth and bear it even if there are no seats, but this time, with Lin Yu and Lin Hang, things are different. The money that needs to be spent must be spent.
Xu Kailin's network of connections is even better than before, so he readily agreed.
Afterwards, Gu Wei drove Ke Yi back before heading to the clothing store.
With only the two of them left in the car, Gu Hongjie spoke without restraint.
"The goods you sent over are selling really well. My dad said that since it's getting hot, we won't restock the men's and women's suits for now, but we should send out more trousers, shirt dresses, and the like. Some of them are sold out in the city..."
Stir-up pants, also known as leggings or footed pants, are generally black and made of a blend of silk and synthetic fibers, giving them great elasticity.
The pants are wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a strap or loop at the bottom for easy stepping.
Upon its release, it became an instant hit with almost every woman, regardless of age or body type, and sold incredibly well.
"Okay, I'll ship the goods when I have time." Gu Wei then asked, "What about the watch?"
Gu Hongjie immediately continued his report, "Uncle Li came to the house again a few days ago and picked up another five thousand yuan worth of watches. He said that the watches he bought at the hydrolysis plant in the south of the city were selling quite well... Those two were doing alright too. He picked them up twice after you left."
The two chatted all the way to the clothing department store.
After getting out of the car, Gu Hongjie first looked up at the signboard, which was different in design from the one in his hometown, and then looked into the store through the window.
Gu Wei ruffled his hair a couple of times from behind, "Come on, let me show you around."
“Okay.” Gu Hongjie immediately followed Gu Wei inside with light steps.
The department stores and clothing stores in the provincial capital are about the same size as those in the city, but the ceilings are higher and the interior decoration is more upscale. Even if the same goods are displayed here, they feel more classy.
The store manager, Tao Yan, is a woman in her thirties. She has a smiling face and is very easygoing, but she is actually very capable.
She saw the boss coming with a boy who looked to be about 10 years old, so she quickly put down her abacus and went to greet him.
Gu Wei glanced at the female customers and sales clerks in the store and instructed, "Don't worry about us, you go about your business."
"Okay." Tao Yan glanced at the two somewhat similar faces, secretly guessing their relationship.
Gu Hongjie, acting like a little adult, walked around the store with his hands behind his back, then said to Gu Wei in a serious tone, "This place is well done."
Gu Wei couldn't help but chuckle, and deliberately teased, "As long as the leader is satisfied."
Gu Hongjie scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
They just came to take a look and left quickly without staying long.
When they returned to the family compound, even though the red brick buildings were somewhat old and dilapidated, and the outdoor corridors and staircases were piled with various miscellaneous items, Gu Hongjie, who had always lived in a single-story house, still praised them highly.
Gu Wei couldn't help but feel deeply moved, and at the same time, he could understand.
After all, in the 1980s, having electric lights and telephones in every room was still the life that many people pursued and dreamed of.
Upon arriving at the door of 322, Gu Wei took out his key, opened the door, and gestured for them to enter.
Gu Hongjie, his eyes sparkling, stood outside the door with his schoolbag on his back, not moving an inch, peering inside cautiously.
