Zhao Zhengyuan nodded in deep agreement, "That's true, they're still in college and can't get married yet. But good things come to those who wait, it's never too late."
Li Guizhi also chimed in with a smile, "College graduates are guaranteed job placement. Once they have a job, getting married is easy, isn't it?"
Gu Jianguo moved his lips as if to speak, but Li Guizhi pinched him, so he had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Later that evening, Zhao Dajiang arrived at the house carrying a bag of mountain produce he had gathered.
“I haven’t been staying at the forest farm lately. Yingzi only found out you were back by calling the factory.”
Gu Wei felt that Zhao Dajiang had aged a lot, and there were more white hairs on his head. "Uncle Zhao, you can come all you want, but why did you bring so many mountain products down here? There are only a few people in your family, and they can't possibly eat them all."
"If you can't finish it, just give it away," Zhao Dajiang said with a smile as he put the bag down in the corner. "We heard you're doing quite well in business in the provincial capital, and you even bought a car. How much did it cost? Is it any good to drive?"
Gu Wei had already told the curious Zhao Zhengyuan about it, but the two of them probably hadn't met yet, so he had to repeat it again.
"I spent over nine thousand in total. It feels okay to drive, but it's a bit small."
Zhao Dajiang's eyes lit up. "My god, only nine thousand? I thought it would cost at least tens of thousands!"
Actually, Zhao Dajiang had already been interested when Gu Wei spent more than 4,000 yuan to buy a motorcycle, and now that he heard that a car was less than 10,000 yuan, he immediately had an idea.
Gu Wei could easily see through Zhao Dajiang's thoughts, and said with a smile, "There are cars that cost tens of thousands, but I think cars are consumables. Once you buy one, it's worthless. Let's buy a cheap one first and then change it in a few years."
Zhao Dajiang agreed, saying, "You're absolutely right! There's no need to buy something too expensive!"
The two hadn't seen each other for a while, and after catching up, the conversation turned to the situation of the land that the forest farm had leased.
Zhao Dajiang not only hired a few people like last year, but he also personally stayed on the mountain to tend to the land. With favorable weather, the vegetables he planted were growing very well, and some of them were almost ready to be harvested.
Gu Wei, understanding the implication, guessed that Zhao Dajiang and Tang Jiamei were now living separate lives, one on the mountain and the other at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder people say that people age faster when they worry too much.
The birth of his granddaughter caused chaos and division within the Zhao family, and Uncle Zhao, caught in the middle, had a truly difficult time.
Gu Wei originally wanted Zhao Dajiang to stay for dinner, but the other party declined, saying he was going to see Nan Nan.
Left with no other choice, Gu Wei had to pack some local specialties for him to take away.
Afterwards, Gu Jianguo laid a plastic sheet on the open ground in the yard and poured all the mountain produce that Zhao Dajiang had brought onto it to clean up.
In August, when you go to the forest area to collect wild fruits and nuts, you can find plenty of walnuts, hazelnuts, mushrooms, wild grapes, jujubes, and other fruits, except for pine cones which are not yet ready.
Gu Wei saw that there were hazelnuts and fire hazelnuts, and picked out two to study their differences.
Seeing this, Gu Hongjie picked up a small hammer, cracked out hazelnut kernels, tasted and compared them, and finally concluded that the cooked ones tasted better.
Gu Wei and Gu Jianguo were both amused...
