Gu Wei snapped out of his daze, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and said with a smile, "It's nothing."
He said that, but his eyes were secretly observing the father and daughter who sold wontons.
When Gu Wei carried the fried cakes and fried dough sticks to the stall next door, Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi's two bowls of wontons were also cooked and served by Xiao Yunduan.
As they got closer, Gu Wei could see the person more clearly, not even missing the freckles and moles on their face.
My grandfather's treasured photo album also contains photos of my mother, but not many.
Moreover, these were all when I was in my twenties, which is quite different from when I was in my teens.
However, their facial features and eyebrows do look similar.
Gu Wei suppressed his emotions and asked casually, "I overheard someone saying that you're a teacher while I was queuing up. What do you teach?"
"I teach Chinese."
The stall owner could tell that the well-dressed young man was a good catch, and his eyes were honest and he didn't look down on anyone; he was just curiously asking around.
"A language arts teacher must be a good writer," Gu Wei complimented matter-of-factly, then continued, "Are you locals from the provincial capital?"
"No," the stall owner adjusted his glasses. "You don't sound like it either, do you?"
“Yes, we’re from out of town too.” Gu Wei suppressed his complicated feelings, smiled, pointed at Gu Jianguo, and deliberately mentioned the name of their hometown.
The stall owner and the little girl's eyes lit up at the same time.
"We're from Suicheng too!"
Gu Jianguo and his group never expected to run into fellow villagers.
Gu Jianguo, in particular, immediately started talking about sex and began chatting with the men.
Gu Wei listened to their conversation silently.
When I confirmed that the other person's surname was Shi, I felt a mix of emotions, but I couldn't show it.
After finishing his meal and leaving, Gu Wei spent the entire drive home pondering what to do.
The car arrived downstairs.
After the group got out of the car, a person standing in the corridor on the third floor waved and greeted Gu Wei.
Gu Wei looked up and smiled.
"Brother Chu!"
It turned out that Chu Baisheng had returned from the south, looking travel-worn.
After more than two years of hard work and struggle, his demeanor has also changed.
How should I describe it? It's like a square stone that has been forged and polished, losing its sharp edges and becoming much rounder.
However, in Gu Wei's eyes, the other person's eyes still held a firm and upright spirit.
He is still a friend worth getting to know better.
After catching up, the two took Gu Jianguo, the other two, and Old Master Chu to Lufulou for lunch.
Lufulou is no longer the small shop it once was; it has become a multi-story restaurant with four signs hanging on its walls.
During the meal, everyone drank and chatted animatedly.
Gu Wei and Chu Baisheng sat close together, and after a glass of wine, they started talking.
"My comrade is preparing to enter the real estate industry."
Gu Wei had long anticipated this day, so he remained calm. "This will be a huge pie in the future; first come, first served."
Chu Baisheng took a sip of his drink. "No matter how big the cake is, if there are many people vying for it, it's not easy to get a bite. It's too difficult."
He then spoke at length about the company's current situation.
Gu Wei was deeply moved after hearing this.
At this point, not being a private company means dancing in shackles.
We can only rely on our own unique abilities to succeed.
