Xu Kailin said helplessly, "Actually, me too, I can't even win a bar of soap."
The three chatted and laughed for a while, and then the topic turned to that matter.
"Is it resolved?"
"Once the money is in place, everything will be fine."
"That's good."
"Why……"
Sometimes things are beyond words.
All I can do is sigh.
Before we knew it, it was the Little New Year.
Gu Wei entrusted the car and shop to Xu Kailin for safekeeping and returned to the forest area.
After leaving his old house in the city, he didn't rush back to the Forestry Bureau, but instead planned to visit some shops near Songyuan Hotel.
Since Jin Hongfei took over as store manager, he has managed the store diligently and come up with many ideas to increase sales, with remarkable results.
As a hands-off manager, Gu Wei was naturally happy to see this happen.
The forest area is obviously much colder than the provincial capital.
The whole world was covered in white snow.
The snow on the ground varied in depth, with some areas even reaching above the calves.
However, the areas with ruts are much easier to walk on.
Gu Wei walked slowly and carefully, enjoying the scenery and passersby along the way.
Seeing the brave man riding his bicycle so shakily in such cold and slippery weather, Gu Wei was filled with admiration.
A gust of cold wind blew up the snow from the eaves and the ground.
Snowflakes rustled as they hit the down jacket and hat.
Gu Wei was almost fully armed, but his eyes were also visible.
Therefore, when he was hit by the snow, he instinctively turned to the side to avoid it for a while before continuing on his way.
Finally reaching the street where the shops were located, Gu Wei discovered two rows of stalls set up outside, and quite a few people buying things.
Among those stalls were vendors selling Spring Festival couplets, calendars, firecrackers and fireworks, as well as hats, gloves, scarves, woolen socks, shawls, hair accessories, and the like.
More stalls are selling all kinds of food.
For example, peanuts, melon seeds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, walnuts, frozen pears, frozen persimmons, frozen chicken, frozen fish, sticky rice cakes, pheasants, wild rabbits, etc.
In short, they are all things that can be left outside without freezing.
Gu Wei walked from one end to the other, and finally bought a few skewers of candied hawthorns from the old lady who was shivering and stamping her feet from the cold.
When Gu Wei entered the store, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Jin Hongfei excitedly ran out from behind the counter, "Brother, when did you get back?"
"I just got back today." Gu Wei casually handed the candied hawthorn to Jin Hongfei, asking him to share it with everyone later when he wasn't so busy.
Gu Wei took advantage of Jin Hongfei's cheerful response, then went to find a place to put the candied hawthorns, looking around and observing the situation inside the shop.
Today is the Little New Year, and there are still a few days until the Lunar New Year.
Although many people have already bought most of what they needed, some people who stayed at their posts didn't have time to shop, so there were still many customers.
Of the three sales clerks, Gu Wei felt that Wang Shufen had gained some weight since the last time he saw her, while the other two hadn't changed much.
"Brother, what do you think of the outfit I put together for the model?" Jin Hongfei pointed to the door, looking like he wanted praise.
Gu Wei hadn't come in yet; he saw the male and female mannequins by the window from outside. They were wearing sweaters on top, pants or skirts on the bottom, and hats on their heads.
It's not exactly trendy, but the color scheme looks quite pleasing.
"very nice."
Faced with Gu Wei's praise, Jin Hongfei felt as happy as if he had eaten an ice pop on a hot summer day.
"I learned that from those magazines."
Gu Wei patted him on the shoulder, "You put your heart into it."
Afterwards, Jin Hongfei handed over the existing sales revenue and accounts, and Gu Wei stayed for a while longer before leaving.
After Gu Wei left, some customers still curiously inquired whether he had a girlfriend.
Jin Hongfei and the others all knew that the boss was handsome and very attractive, but he was already taken, so they quickly dispelled some of their thoughts.
Not long after, Gu Wei appeared at the Forestry Bureau with a large bag and a cloth bag in his hands, containing the candied hawthorns he had bought for others again.
Besides feeling sorry for the old lady whose face was almost purple from the cold and wanting her to go home as soon as possible, Gu Hongjie also loved candied hawthorns, so it was a perfect solution for both of them.
The forestry bureau's business is slightly worse than that in the city, but there are still seven or eight men, women, and children in the shop.
Li Guizhi was giving change to a customer when she saw Gu Wei return. She immediately smiled brightly and said, "You're back!"
Gu Jianguo, who was working on the stove, heard this and suddenly turned around, forgetting to put down the stove hook in his hand, and strode over to Gu Wei.
"You little rascal, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
"I just wanted to give you a surprise."
Gu Wei said with a smile, while secretly observing his grandparents' condition as always.
Seeing that both of them had rosy complexions and bright eyes, he finally felt completely relieved.
Gu Jianguo said with a smile, "Your surprise is quite big. This morning at breakfast, that brat Xiao Jie was still talking about it, saying he didn't know when you would be back and where you would be having the Lunar New Year!"
Even without seeing it with his own eyes, Gu Wei could imagine the expression on Gu Hongjie's face when he said these words. He asked with a smile, "Where's Xiao Jie in the back?"
"I'm here. I came over to help out for a while, but then I went back to watch TV." Gu Jianguo said as he quickly covered the stove wall.
Gu Wei then looked at the two sales clerks currently in the store.
He was very familiar with Zhao Zhengying, and had also interacted with Li Bin's cousin during her recent visits.
Since giving birth, Zhao Zhengying has perhaps had fewer worries, and her mother-in-law takes care of the baby, so she only needs to go back to breastfeed when she has free time. Therefore, she hasn't lost much weight.
