Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi knew that Gu Wei genuinely liked their son and must have spent a lot of money on him. Now that they heard him say that he had played with all the children and bought him several outfits from head to toe, they felt even more embarrassed and thought about how to return the favor.
Gu Wei, unable to discern their thoughts written on their faces, immediately changed the subject and brought up Old Master Chu.
"My neighbor really likes Xiao Jie and has taught him a lot about vocal music."
Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi were successfully distracted.
"Yeah."
Gu Hongjie began to recount the story with great satisfaction.
When Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi heard about the female professor at the music academy, as people who had lived through that era, they could easily guess the reason.
"This woman is truly strong."
"Yes, those who usually can't hold on..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Wei already knew what it was.
When the group arrived home with their bags and packages, Zhao Zhengying, who was heavily pregnant, was there with Zhao Zhengyuan and Yao Shulan.
"Brother Gu!"
"Brother Gu is back!"
Gu Wei had already heard that since Lin Yu left, Yao Shulan, who was on school break, had been coming over to help sell goods whenever she had free time.
"Are you all doing well? Has Nannan grown up a bit more?"
Yao Shulan quickly smiled and said, "We're all fine."
Zhao Zhengyuan said with great enthusiasm, "That little girl is quite chubby now, she even has dents on the back of her hands. My mother-in-law is watching her at home, I'll go home and bring her over later."
Gu Weizhen really liked Zhao Zhengyuan's child, and immediately nodded with a smile, "Okay, let me see how fat he is."
After chatting for a while, Gu Wei and the others went back to the back.
The three big dogs had been barking for a long time ever since they heard Gu Wei and the others making noise.
Now that the animals have finally entered the yard, they are all excitedly wagging their tails, wanting their owner's attention and affection.
Both Gu Wei and Gu Hongjie have a deep affection for these three dogs that they raised from puppies.
The two lingered near the doghouse for a while.
I rubbed their foreheads, scratched their necks, and stroked their shiny back fur. Only after I had admired them enough did they both go inside.
Three big dogs were left whining and whining for a long time.
Gu Wei thought it might be because he had been living in the family compound apartment building recently.
Suddenly finding myself back in a low-ceilinged bungalow with a heated brick bed felt quite disorienting.
In particular, the house was somewhat cool in the middle of summer, and it carried a mixture of smells that couldn't be dispelled even with the doors and windows open.
As soon as Gu Hongjie entered the house, he went straight to the television in the living room and quickly turned it on.
The first thing Gu Wei did was wash his hands.
At the same time, he didn't forget to invite them to take a shower as well.
The family members were used to Gu Wei washing his hands very frequently, so they immediately did as he asked.
Gu Wei hasn't returned for over a month. The combined revenue from the two stores and the proceeds from the watches totaled over 110,000 yuan.
In the 1980s, when becoming a "ten-thousand-yuan household" was still a source of pride, this was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
Gu Jianguo and his team racked their brains and put in a lot of effort to keep the money safe and secure.
Gu Wei pretended to look at the account book, put the money away, and then set out a sumptuous meal on the kang table.
Gu Wei hadn't tasted the unique flavors of home for a while, and he missed them terribly.
The two of them ate quite quickly, as if guided by divine inspiration.
Seeing how much they enjoyed their meal, Gu Jianguo felt both happy and distressed.
Li Guizhi also looked at them with a loving expression.
Gu Wei had just put down his rice bowl and hadn't even cleared the table when Zhao Zhengyuan came over carrying the child.
"Brother Gu, look how successful my daughter is, isn't she?"
Gu Wei carefully examined Nan Nan and noticed that she had grown taller and plumper since the last time he saw her. She was fair-skinned, with clear and bright eyes that were even more endearing.
"Indeed. And she's getting cuter and cuter."
Zhao Zhengyuan was overjoyed and couldn't help but kiss the child's little face.
Nan Nan immediately giggled, revealing her gums with two newly emerging white teeth.
Gu Wei was astonished, "They've already grown teeth? They're only five months old..."
“That’s right.” Zhao Zhengyuan said with a smile, “Brother Gu, you don’t have children yet, so you don’t know. I’ve heard that teeth come in early or late, and some babies even have white tips right after they are born.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Wei felt an even greater sense of the wonder of life.
At this moment, Nan Nan opened her two little arms and strained at Gu Wei.
"Want me to hold you?" Gu Wei clapped his hands to tease the child.
"This little girl isn't shy at all," Zhao Zhengyuan muttered as he handed the child to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei awkwardly hugged the baby, feeling its soft, tiny, milky scent.
After that, I was a little afraid to move, worried that I might hurt my child's back or neck.
Gu Hongjie was also extremely interested in the child, staring at him intently, and waiting to hold him later.
Later, under the guidance of Zhao Zhengyuan and Li Guizhi, Gu Weicai's movements became less stiff.
Gu Jianguo came in from the kitchen and saw this scene. He said with a smile, "Learn in advance so you won't be at a loss for how to hold your child after you get married and have children."
Gu Wei suppressed the complex emotions in his heart and said with a smile, "Yes, if we learn in advance, we won't be so flustered when the time comes."
Zhao Zhengyuan had also seen the photos of Gu Wei and his partner, and then chimed in, "Brother Gu, when can we get to attend your wedding?"
Gu Jianguo and the others all turned their gazes toward this issue, clearly also concerned about it.
Gu Wei gently rocked the child, lowered his eyes, and said calmly, "That will take some time, at least until after graduation and starting work."
