Zhou Wenbo was clearly surprised by his sister's reaction. "Huh? You don't want to get married?"
Zhou Wenyi concealed the complex emotions in her eyes and said with a smile, "Of course I want to, but I haven't enjoyed the sweetness of love enough yet. As for you, instead of trying to divert our parents' attention by talking about my marriage to Gu Wei, you should hurry up and find someone to marry!"
Zhou Wenbo stared wide-eyed at Zhou Wenyi's words, and after a long while, he sighed with a bitter face and said, "I will never step into the cage of marriage. As long as I don't get married, I won't have so many worries. I can play with whoever I want, and I won't be affected by moral opinions."
Zhou Wenyi rolled her eyes, speechless and angry. "You've already raised a grown son, and you're still thinking about playing around? You're really something else! I can't be bothered with you!"
After saying that, she opened the car door and got out.
Zhou Wenbo hurriedly got out of the car, "Little sister, don't go!"
Zhou Wenyi ignored him and walked away without looking back.
Therefore, Zhou Wenbo could not see Zhou Wenyi's expression at this moment, which was filled with anger, mixed with some obscurity and discomfort.
The topic of marriage stirred up ripples in her calm heart, as if a few pebbles had been thrown in.
Gu Wei was unaware of what had happened between the Zhou siblings.
It was already very late when Gu Hongjie returned to 88 from the modern era, and he was still awake.
It turns out that I was scared from watching the TV series "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio". Even with the lights on, I was always trembling with fear, feeling like there was something whistling outside the window.
In the end, Gu Wei had no choice but to agree to Gu Hongjie's request to sleep in the same room with him.
The two of them couldn't fall asleep right away after lying down, and they chatted about this and that, becoming more and more energetic and less sleepy.
Therefore, they didn't fall asleep until after 2 a.m.
When Gu Wei woke up, he realized it was already 10 a.m.
He yawned and woke up Gu Hongjie, who had rolled to the end of the kang (a heated brick bed) and was sleeping sideways, by kicking him.
"Get up!"
Gu Hongjie scrambled to his feet, opening one eye and closing the other, and asked, "What time is it?"
It's ten o'clock.
Gu Wei didn't sleep well that night. Gu Hongjie was already a young man over 1.7 meters tall. The kang (a heated brick bed) was originally quite wide, but it wasn't enough for him to do his acrobatic feats.
"Oh dear, it's already this late!"
Gu Hongjie rubbed his eyes and quickly put on a short-sleeved shirt.
Gu Wei ignored him, put on his shoes, got out of the house, and went outside.
Gu Jianguo, Li Guizhi, and the motorcycle were not there; they probably went shopping.
Because the store was running low on stock, they gave Zhao Zhengying and the others a day off and didn't open the store.
Gu Wei quickly finished washing up, opened the pot lid and saw scallion pancakes, stir-fried bean sprouts with meat, and shredded potatoes on a perforated mat inside. He asked Gu Hongjie, who was squatting on the edge of the field brushing his teeth roughly, "Should we eat inside or outside?"
"Let's go outside." Gu Hongjie rinsed his teeth, wiped the toothpaste foam off his mouth, and went inside.
The two late risers soon began to enjoy their belated breakfast under the pergola.
Roll two kinds of vegetables in a golden-orange, flaky pancake, add some shredded scallions and sausage, and you have a meal that includes both vegetables and rice.
They ate with great relish, which made the three big dogs and two puppies extremely envious.
However, the older one can be fed a little to satisfy their craving, but the younger one is still drinking milk and can't eat it.
After we finished eating, before we could even clear the table, we heard the sound of a car outside.
"Brother Gu! Are you home?"
"exist!"
Gu Wei recognized Li Bin's voice and immediately went to open the door.
A Jeep was parked behind Li Bin, and he was carrying a plastic bag, smiling brightly in the sunlight.
"My wife and mother-in-law got some blueberries, and I was thinking of sending you some."
Li Bin and his girlfriend have been married for over a year. He gets along well with his father-in-law, the deputy director of the forestry farm, and through some connections, he has made a lot of money dealing in timber.
Gu Wei smiled and said, "You guys can keep it for yourselves."
"We still have some."
Li Bin didn't switch hands; he simply carried the things and followed Gu Wei into the room.
After quickly clearing away the dishes, Gu Hongjie greeted Uncle Li with a grin.
Li Bin responded with a "hey," and handed the bag to him, saying, "Take this and wash it thoroughly; it's quite sweet."
"Okay, you guys chat for a while."
Gu Hongjie took the bag of blueberries and quickly walked into the house.
Gu Wei knew that Li Bin's trip was probably not just to deliver some blueberries. After chatting for a while, he simply got straight to the point and asked, "Did you need something from me?"
Li Bin rubbed his nose. "Brother Gu, I knew I couldn't hide anything from your sharp eyes. A few days ago, after you came back, didn't you advise us that the price increase was only temporary and would return to normal later, so we shouldn't spend all our money? Then I had an idea. We have a lot of regular customers from out of town, and there aren't many good restaurants in the city or the Forestry Bureau. If we opened a big hotel, where we could eat and stay, and maybe even have some entertainment, I guarantee we'd make money..."
They're all men, what doesn't Gu Wei understand? This entertainment is definitely the shady kind.
He could guess what was going on in her words, and with a slight frown, he asked, "You mean you want me to work with you?"
Li Bin nodded vigorously, "Yes! I wouldn't be where I am today without your help, Brother Gu, so I think we should go for this big business that's about to make money..."
Gu Wei smiled enigmatically, "You are where you are today entirely because of your own hard work and struggle; it has little to do with me. Besides, I'm not interested in this. You should find someone else to partner with."
Everyone knows that to start this kind of business, you need to have connections in several areas; it's not that simple.
Although there are more than just black, white, gray, and many other colors in the world, given the choice, Gu Wei still doesn't want to easily get tainted by anything different and wants to live and do things with an honest and upright character.
