It's a bit late for people who are used to going to bed early.
Gu Wei noticed that several elderly people were yawning as they looked behind them.
Grandpa Chu was unusually energetic, probably because he was still excited about the television.
As the end credits rolled, everyone reluctantly got up, yawning, and went home.
Gu Wei and Gu Hongjie helped clean up the battlefield before leaving.
Grandpa Chu had been secretly observing Gu Hongjie, and he was genuinely considering how to properly teach and nurture him.
Unfortunately, not being local is a problem.
The next day was Saturday, and Gu Wei and Gu Hongjie slept in until they naturally woke up.
After having breakfast, we went to the department store.
With Ke Yi and the others around, Gu Wei would definitely try to take them sightseeing as much as possible within the limited time available, rather than shopping.
Around 1985, although state-owned department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives were not abolished, some had already begun to be contracted out to individuals.
However, not just anyone can be a contractor; one needs connections and resources.
Since buying and selling have become personal, some things have changed significantly.
The difference is evident from the products themselves to the attitude of the sales staff.
The two strolled around the building casually, stopping to look at anything that interested them.
Even though Gu Wei could easily buy a lot of clothes and shoes suitable for Gu Hongjie's age in modern times, he was unwilling to take too many of them to this time and space, lest he attract attention.
So, taking advantage of the shopping trip, Gu Wei wanted to buy Gu Hongjie several outfits to change into.
Gu Hongjie had been warned by his parents before he came that he couldn't have everything, so the two of them started a tug-of-war.
"You absolutely mustn't buy it! My parents will scold me then."
"It won't hurt you to say anything, just let it go in one ear and out the other. You'll be a first-year junior high student when school starts again. First impressions are very important when you're in a new class and meet new classmates."
"I don't care about other people's impressions anymore."
"Listen to me, try on this pair of shoes too."
"..."
In the end, Gu Wei emerged victorious, of course.
In fact, Gu Hongjie is a very easily satisfied person.
Even if Gu Wei bought him a popsicle or an ice cream, he would be overjoyed.
Now the bags are full of his things, and my heart and eyes are filled with emotion and joy.
The two chatted and laughed as they went up to the third floor, where Gu Wei saw the tall figure standing outside Old Master Chu's door.
It was Chu Baisheng, who had returned from military service.
Gu Wei greeted him politely, "Brother Chu."
Although Chu Baisheng felt somewhat helpless about his grandfather's actions, he was not a stubborn person, and he was very grateful for everything Gu Wei had done.
"Thank you for helping my grandfather. I'd like to invite you to dinner today, do you have time?"
Gu Wei helped out of sympathy and never expected anything in return. He quickly waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. We're neighbors, it was just a small favor. No need for a meal."
“A drop of water in need deserves a spring in return, let alone the amount you’ve helped,” Chu Baisheng continued. “Besides, I also have something I’d like to ask you.”
