Unlike Zhao Zhengying and the others who were overjoyed, Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi felt very embarrassed.
Gu Wei had already given them an advance on one person's base salary, which solved their immediate problem and paid off the thirty yuan debt owed to the Li family.
Now they've included meals and accommodation, and I'm paying an extra 560 yuan.
When workers' monthly wages were only a few dozen yuan, this was far too much.
But Gu Wei insisted on giving it to him, and if he didn't accept it, she would even get angry and put on a stern face.
They had no choice but to accept it for the time being.
But he still felt the money was burning his hands, and racked his brains trying to figure out how to get it back.
Gu Wei knew exactly what his grandparents were thinking.
They're just pretending not to know.
In fact, he really wanted to give them much more than that.
However, due to the nature of the character, we can only proceed step by step and gradually.
I slept without any dreams.
The next day, Gu Wei woke up naturally.
After having a late breakfast.
He was just about to go out to check on his rented apartment.
While we're at it, let's see if the plums are ripe and pick some to bring back.
Zhao Dajiang came home carrying a bulging sack.
"Gu Wei, how did your trip go?"
"Successfully." Gu Wei thought this was another delivery of vegetables, and smiled helplessly, "Uncle Zhao, we haven't finished the vegetables you gave us last time, and the previous owner of the house also grew a lot of vegetables in the garden."
“This is no joke. Look at all this…” Zhao Dajiang chuckled as he untied the rope tied to the sack.
Gu Wei curiously peered inside, and the first thing that caught his eye was black fur and several bear paws...
He was a little surprised, "Black Bear?"
Zhao Dajiang nodded: "Yes! This is the black bear that injured Chen Laoliu from our forest farm. Finally, the hunters caught it... Just then, Yingzi called the forest farm to say you were back, so I quickly brought it down for you to try!"
Gu Wei first met Zhao Dajiang on the mountain and heard about this incident.
It is said that the person was spared from death, but his eyes and nose were licked away, and he was completely disfigured.
"I remember the incident happened in June when we were picking bracken..."
"Yeah, so much time has passed. Summer isn't as easy as winter. Once the black bears hibernate and are holed up in some big tree hole, not eating or moving, it'll be much easier to deal with them..."
Although Zhao Dajiang is good at setting traps in the mountains, he is not very good at hunting.
But I've learned quite a bit about hunting over the years.
He talked at length about sex.
Gu Wei listened intently and developed a strong interest in hunting.
He wants to wait for the opportunity in the future, before hunting and guns are banned, to go into the mountains and experience the joy of hunting.
Gu Jianguo is a good cook; he can make many home-style dishes quite well.
However, cooking bear meat and bear paws was a first for this young woman.
Even how to clean it up was a bit of a challenge.
Fortunately, Zhao Dajiang was very experienced.
The two of them cleaned the bear paws one by one.
Then it was put into a large pot of boiling water, and some white wine and scallion segments were added.
After skimming off the blood foam, they added a lot more firewood to the stove and continued cooking.
This is just the first step; it will probably be several hours before you can actually eat it.
Therefore, we need to consider making some other dishes for lunch.
Gu Wei and Zhao Dajiang wanted to help out, but Gu Jianguo chased them out into the yard.
The two had no choice but to sit facing each other, drink tea, and chat.
Gradually, a fragrance wafted from the room, filling our mouths and noses.
Gu Wei sniffed and exclaimed, "It smells so good."
"This is nothing. Your great-uncle is a good cook. When it's braised, it will definitely smell even more delicious. You have no idea how fishy my Aunt Zhao's cooking is..."

Gu Wei couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Zhao Dajiang's gesturing description: "Then Uncle Zhao, you must finish eating what my great-uncle made before you leave."
Zhao Dajiang nodded with a smile: "Okay. Even if you try to kick me out, I won't leave."
Around 11 o'clock, Tang Jiamei also came to the house.
She didn't come empty-handed; she brought two bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and seven or eight bottles of soda.
Gu Wei knew that the tailor shop had been doing very well since it opened.
Perhaps because her business was becoming more and more successful, Aunt Zhao looked radiant and became increasingly confident.
Everyone chatted together, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant.
Tang Jiamei suddenly changed the subject, saying, "The other day, the second younger sister of the waitress at the state-run restaurant came to work at my shop and spent a long time asking if you had a boyfriend. I was wondering if I should introduce you to someone?"
"I guess it's just casual conversation." Gu Wei usually chats with Xu Qiuhe for a while when they meet, but he hasn't said much to the second daughter of the Xu family.
Tang Jiamei had long regarded Gu Wei, who had helped her family so much, as her own child, and she was particularly concerned about his marriage.
He has a limited number of acquaintances, and those of average means feel they are not good enough for him, given his good looks and earning potential.
"I don't think so. I've inquired about it in great detail."
After Gu Wei went inside to refill the tea, Gu Jianguo wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and whispered, "Do you think she was helping that person find out?"
Gu Wei knew exactly who Gu Jianguo was talking about, and couldn't help but chuckle.
He said with certainty, "I feel it's absolutely impossible."
Gu Jianguo smacked his lips a couple of times, realizing that he might be overthinking things.
When Gu Hongjie and Lin Hang returned from school, lunch was officially served.
Eight dishes and a soup were laid out on the table to the side.
Everyone sat together, eating, drinking, and chatting.
Just as things were getting lively, more people came to the house.
