Gu Wei returned to the capital after New Year's Day.
While everyone was happy, they were also particularly curious about his girlfriend.
Gu Wei took out the photos he had prepared beforehand and successfully fooled them.
Gu Jianguo didn't say much to his face, but he privately sought out Gu Wei.
"When is your boyfriend going to come back to China? You two can't keep going like this! Don't let it end up being a waste of time and effort, and you'll be left with nothing."
Gu Wei understood that he would have to tell his grandfather the truth sooner or later, and he believed that his grandfather would keep quiet and help cover it up, but the time was not right, so he could not say it for the time being.
"It won't be delayed. Besides, isn't the trend towards later marriage and childbirth encouraged these days? The later you get married, the more honorable it is. And as the business grows bigger in the future, I might have to travel between the two places..."
Gu Wei then explained the current and future situation.
Gu Jianguo, having seen a lot in life, immediately became worried about Gu Wei. "In that case, I think you should just go abroad and get some citizenship. Since ancient times, it's always been the case that foreign monks are better at chanting scriptures, and therefore superior..."
"We'll see how it goes."
Gu Wei has a strong sense of identity as a descendant of Yan and Huang, but life is unpredictable, and he can't be sure that the bigger the business and the more wealth it will bring, the more likely he is to become a target.
The New Year of 1993 came earlier than usual.
January 22nd is Lunar New Year's Eve.
This is the second Chinese New Year that their family has spent in Beijing.
This year, the addition of Shi Xuelin and his daughter Shi Qiuyun to our home for the Spring Festival made it even more lively.
Gu Jianguo and Shi Xuelin are both good cooks, and the two of them were in charge of cooking the New Year's Eve dinner.
Gu Wei and his three companions had just enough players, so they got together and started playing mahjong.
Throughout the round, Gu Hongjie fed Shi Qiuyun many cards and occasionally stole glances at her.
Shi Qiuyun, however, did not seem to be unmoved by the unrequited love; her ears turned red.
Gu Wei, who always believed in letting things take their natural course, smiled without saying a word.
Li Guizhi also noticed something was amiss, and smiled as she arranged and drew the cards.
My son is another year older this Chinese New Year; he's a young man now.
If she's interested in Shi Qiuyun and the two kids want to date, she, as their mother, certainly won't object, but she'll have to find an opportunity to ask her husband's opinion.
Around 1 p.m., Gu Hongjie went to the yard and set off a string of firecrackers.
Gu Wei and his group then officially began their lunch.
There were 18 dishes in total, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, and fresh seafood, served on plates stacked on top of each other.
Apart from the drinks poured by Li Guizhi, all of Gu Wei and the others' glasses were filled with alcohol.
At the insistence of the others, Gu Wei raised his glass and said, "In the new year, I hope we will all be healthy, safe, happy and successful."
"Alright! Cheers!"
"cheers!"
The meal lasted until after 3 p.m., with everyone eating and drinking.
Then they tidied up the table and started playing mahjong again.
Even after the Spring Festival Gala started, the party didn't end.
Apart from Uncle Benshan's "Old Man's New Year Greetings," the other skits at this year's Spring Festival Gala were also quite good.
Gu Wei felt that even the least funny skit he could pick was more interesting than a Spring Festival Gala skit from decades later.
As for the songs, many of them became well-known and widely sung, such as Yan Weiwen's "When I Miss Home", Mao Ning's "The Sound of Waves Remains the Same", and Fu Disheng's "Many Hands Make Light Work".
After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Li Guizhi was wide awake and couldn't help but chat with Gu Jianguo, "I think Xiao Jie probably likes Xiao Yun."
Gu Jianguo paused in taking off his sweater. "I actually noticed it too. Look at how eager that brat is to please me."
Li Guizhi asked with sparkling eyes, "What do you think if they were to date?"
Gu Jianguo said helplessly, "I don't think it's any use. It depends on whether your son can win her over." At the same time, he sighed inwardly, thinking that there were some things that he and Gu Wei should know, and he would never tell his wife.
"That's true. But I think Xiaoyun seems interested too, maybe the two kids could really get together."
Li Guizhi has always liked Shi Qiuyun, and now that there's a possibility that she could become her daughter-in-law, she treats her even better.
Having lost her mother, Shi Qiuyun has relied on her father for many years, and undoubtedly longs for the care and protection of female elders.
The two got along even better and became closer.
Gu Wei saw everything and guessed Li Guizhi's intentions without even asking.
If Gu Hongjie and Shi Qiuyun really get together, based on his understanding of Li Guizhi's personality, there shouldn't be any troublesome mother-in-law/daughter-in-law problems.
During the Spring Festival, time always seems to fly by, and it feels like the Lantern Festival is just around the corner.
Gu Wei's restaurant, which combines Chinese and Western styles, has been operating normally and is doing extremely well.
Not long after the New Year, people came to the company to discuss franchising.
After Gu Wei completed the formalities in Hong Kong, he made arrangements for the follow-up matters.
Therefore, with his employees handling these matters, he can still leisurely be a hands-off manager.
In 1993, many classic movies and hit songs were released, and some people left forever, leaving behind their swan songs.
But for most Chinese people, the most unforgettable moment was undoubtedly the failure of their first Olympic bid on September 23rd, which ended by two votes.
Even though Gu Wei knew this would be the result, he still stayed up all night to watch the broadcast.
He felt heartbroken, let alone those who thought victory was assured and were eagerly anticipating it.
Some people broke down in tears, while others smashed the television.
On September 24, the People's Daily published a related article, expressing its attitude with the eight characters "There will be plenty of time in the future, and we will meet again."
