When the tailor shop opened, none of the Zhao family members came down except for their daughter-in-law Yao Shulan, who was experiencing severe pregnancy symptoms.
The eldest and second daughters also came with their children.
Gu Wei was no stranger to the two sisters.
I met him when Zhao Zhengyuan got married, and we even bought things from his clothing store later.
Zhao Zhenghong and Zhao Zhengli were very envious when they saw Zhao Zhengyuan and the others helping Gu Wei sell watches and buy a television.
However, both husbands were honest, simple, and timid people who were worried about the risks and didn't want to work with them. They couldn't be forced to do it either.
Besides, since the third sister had already gone to work as a sales clerk in someone else's shop, they were too embarrassed to join in the fun.
Fortunately, my mother ran a tailor shop, and both families had sewing machines, so we were able to do some work and earn money to supplement our family income.
As the group was chatting, seven or eight more people from Qingfeng Forest Farm arrived.
Among them, besides Zhao Zhengyuan's mother-in-law and brother-in-law, was Sun Xuewu, the former head of the security department.
Gu Wei had a very good impression of Sun Xuewu.
He had just been brought back from the mountain by Zhao Dajiang, and it was quite a scare.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Gu Wei made a special introduction for them: "Grandpa Sun, this is my great-uncle and great-aunt..."
After everyone exchanged friendly greetings, Sun Xuewu said with a smile, "When I first met Gu Wei, I felt an instant connection with him, and I even asked my son to help me find out about you guys..."
Sun Xuewu had seen a group photo at Zhao Dajiang's house before, and now that he saw the real people, he observed them closely and felt that the Gu family members really did look alike.
Gu Jianguo quickly said, "Uncle Sun, thank you so much, you've gone to so much trouble."
Sun Xuewu waved his hand, "No need to thank me. I didn't really help much. In the end, the child found the place on his own. Speaking of which, my hometown is also in the central province, so we're from the same hometown."
"Really?" Gu Jianguo asked curiously, "Uncle Sun, which part of the central province is your hometown?"
"Near Antai."
"Our ancestral home is also there!"
Gu Jianguo and Sun Xuewu hit it off more and more as they talked, and later they even specified the exact address down to the village.
Gu Wei listened quietly from the side, carefully writing down what his grandfather said, to use later when registering his household registration.
Not far away, Yao's mother secretly glanced at Gu Wei and whispered to her son beside her, "Later, find an opportunity to get closer to them. They're all young people, and the older ones are easier to talk to. You'll get to know them better in no time."
Yao Shubo said with a bitter face, "Mom, I think we should just give up. I met him when Shulan got married. He's not easy to approach, and he clearly stated that he doesn't need anyone. He definitely doesn't want me. If I keep pestering him, I'll just annoy him."
Because there were other people around, Yao's mother could only pull him aside and say in a low voice, "Are you stupid? What a great opportunity! Your brother-in-law has only been working for us for a short time, and he's already bought a TV and has savings. Who knows, he might be able to buy a house down the mountain someday!"
“But what if someone gets arrested? I might lose my job! Didn’t you used to look down on speculation and profiteering the most? Why are you now so determined to make me do it too?” Yao Shubo was quite satisfied with his current job as a forestry worker and didn’t want to lose more than he gained.
Yao's mother was so angry that her blood pressure rose, and she almost hit him.
"Times have changed, how can they be the same? Besides, they've been doing this for so long, and none of them have been arrested. Furthermore, you're just helping him sell, earning a hard-earned fee, like going to work and getting a salary. If something happens, they can go find someone else, not us!"
Finally, Yao Shubo was forced by her mother to take small steps closer to Gu Wei.
"Ahem... Hello, Brother Gu."
Hello. What's up?
Gu Wei had noticed that Yao and her son were frequently looking at him, but he simply ignored it.
Yao Shubo scratched his head awkwardly: "It's nothing, just wanted to say hello."
"Oh." Gu Wei smiled faintly, not revealing anything.
Seeing his mother's eyes twitching as she kept giving hints, Yao Shubo had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Um, Brother Gu..."
Zhao Zhengyuan, who had just finished hanging the firecrackers, turned around and saw this scene, and quickly walked over.
"Big Brother, Brother Gu, what are you two talking about?"
Yao Shubo quickly said, "It's nothing, you guys chat, I'll go take a look over there."
Gu Wei and Zhao Zhengyuan exchanged a glance, and without saying a word, they both understood what was going on.
"Brother Gu, please don't agree just to save face. My brother-in-law doesn't actually want to do it. It's all because of my mother-in-law's meddling behind the scenes."
Gu Wei smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
Even without Zhao Zhengyuan's words, he had never considered using Yao Shubo.
Once the firecrackers are set off, the business will officially open for business.
With so many people inside and outside the shop, it wasn't comfortable to stay there, so apart from the people who stayed to watch the shop, everyone else went to the Jin family's house for a meal.
There were four tables set out with fish and meat.
Gu Wei sat down with Zhao Dajiang and the others.
Now everyone knows that Gu Wei is incredibly capable, running a shop and dealing in watches. Many people want to toast him and take the opportunity to get closer to him.
Gu Wei declined, citing his low alcohol tolerance and other commitments for the afternoon.
Gu Jianguo and Sun Xuewu hit it off immediately, and after a drinking session, their relationship progressed rapidly.
After dinner, when Gu Wei and the others went home, Sun Xuewu also went with them.
They first browsed around the clothing store, then went to the back room to drink tea and chat.
In fact, Gu Wei wasn't lying; he did have something to do.
The villa in the modern area has been renovated and the owner is looking for a housekeeping company.
So he stayed with them for a while and then left.
We arrived at the villa.
Even with good decorating materials, Gu Wei still smelled some odors as soon as he entered the door.
He walked around the building, upstairs and downstairs, spending the most time in the storage room on the basement floor.
After the renovation, the space is not only larger, but also more private and secure.
In the future, we can put a large portion of the collected antiques inside.
Even if I'm not home often, I feel much more at ease.
Once the cleaning is done, not only will the soft furnishings that Gu Wei bought be delivered and installed, but he can also start preparing for the move.
However, he doesn't plan to cancel the lease on the high-rise apartment.
Anyway, I'm not short of money, and it's close to the private kitchen.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows; having multiple burrows is always a good thing.
By the time Gu Wei finishes all these things, the summer vacation in the 84th grade will be almost over, and Gu Hongjie will start fifth grade again.
The question of whether to transfer schools has also been put on the agenda.
After discussing it with Gu Wei and his family, they decided that it would be better to transfer to the First Primary School, which is very close to their home.
Although Gu Hongjie was a little reluctant to part with a few classmates with whom he got along well, he had recently become close friends with some of the neighborhood kids, and he easily accepted being in the same class with several peers.
