Gu Wei was unaware that Gu Hongjie's high regard for him was almost absurd.
They had just finished breakfast and hadn't even cleared the table when Lin Yu and Lin Hang, the siblings, arrived at their house.
When Gu Wei returned yesterday, he was puzzled not to see Lin Hang.
It was only after asking that I learned that the child had a bad cold recently and was afraid of infecting Gu Hongjie and the three puppies, so he stayed at home and hadn't come over for several days.
Gu Wei noticed that Lin Hang had lost all the little bit of weight he had managed to gain recently, his chin was even more pointed, and his complexion was not good. She asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"
Lin Hang's gratitude and admiration for Gu Wei were even greater than for Gu Hongjie. His eyes lit up as soon as he saw him: "I'm much better. Brother Gu, thank you for the toy. I really like it."
Gu Wei waved his hand and laughed, "I'm glad you like it. Hurry up and gain some weight, otherwise your grandpa will be heartbroken when he comes back."
He knew all too well how much Hou Yongxian cared about his grandson, Lin Hang.
Upon hearing Gu Wei mention Hou Yongxian, Lin Yu and Lin Hang exchanged a glance and quickly took out a letter.
“Brother Gu, I only found out last night when I got back that our grandfather sent a letter, which contained something he wanted to tell you.”
"Yeah?"
Gu Wei reached out and took it, quickly glancing through it.
In his letter home, Hou Yongxian not only expressed his concern and gave instructions to his siblings, but also shared some of his recent news.
They also told them to tell me that they had received some old items and would have someone transport them back in a while.
Gu Wei appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was overjoyed.
Who can complain about money biting their hand?
These are all priceless treasures.
Although it's not possible to sell them all so quickly in modern times, you can easily make a lot of money by selling just one or two items later.
Lin Yu, observing Gu Wei's expression, knew he was happy and smiled as well.
But as his gaze swept over the box of pastries on the cabinet, a hint of unease flashed in his eyes.
They're university students from the capital, yet they're still so eager to be with Brother Gu.
She, who didn't even finish junior high school, is no match for her.
Of the people in the room, apart from Lin Hang, none of them noticed Lin Yu's subtle change.
Although Lin Hang is a child, he is more sensitive and mature than his peers because he has been in poor health since childhood and has experienced a lot.
He had already figured out his sister's intentions.
But they could only pretend not to know.
Because he also clearly saw that there was absolutely no possibility between the two of them.
Gu Wei rode his bicycle away from home and went to the post office first.
I put several kilograms of loose beef jerky and some snacks that were typical of that era in the package, and mailed it along with the letter.
Afterwards, Gu Wei pretended to retrieve several large bags of goods from the warehouse.
While Gu Jianguo and the others were busy organizing the goods, he left home again and took the forest railway train to the city.
Compared to the Forestry Bureau, the city is more prosperous, with a larger area and a larger population.
Gu Wei spent half a day looking around before finally finding a suitable place to rent.
Although the house was somewhat dilapidated, its remote location with almost no neighbors nearby pleased him greatly.
From then on, he had a place to stay in the city.
Everything has become much more convenient.
When Gu Wei returned from the city and got off the train, it was already dinnertime.
Many houses have chimneys from which wisps of smoke rise.
The air was filled with the smell of firewood used for cooking.
In modern cities filled with towering skyscrapers and concrete jungles, it's rare to find such a vibrant, everyday atmosphere anymore.
So he sniffed and took a deep breath.
The train station is not far from Gu Wei's home.
As he slowly walked to the vicinity of that street, he saw Zhao Zhengyuan, Jin Hongda, and Li Bin sitting outside the shop.
The three of them saw Gu Wei appear, stopped chatting, stood up, and greeted him.
Gu Wei felt like he was the big brother, and these were all his little brothers.
"Brother Gu, how did the trip go?"
"smoothly."
"I'm glad everything went smoothly. Brother Gu, we were all very worried when you didn't come back."
"Yes, after all, the roads are not safe."
Outside the gate, besides them, there were many neighbors and children running around, so it wasn't a good place to chat. Gu Wei quickly led them back to the back room.
Watches are selling better than ever before.
Whether it was Zhao Zhengyuan and Jin Hongda, who were earning a hard-earned fee, or Li Bin, who was buying and selling goods, they were all very happy.
Consequently, they were even more eager to treat Gu Wei, who had provided them with the source of goods and opportunities, as a god.
Compared to Li Bin, Zhao Zhengyuan felt much closer to Jin Hongda and was much more relaxed.
In fact, in Gu Wei's mind, as Li Bin became more useful and gained more points, his position was also rising.
Everyone curiously inquired about the interesting sights and experiences they had along the way.
Even though Gu Wei hadn't actually gone through that experience, the stories he'd heard about others' experiences, as well as the stories he'd made up on the spot, were still fascinating to them, leaving them wanting more.
In the end, if it weren't for the late hour, none of them would have wanted to leave.
Gu Wei never imagined he had the potential to be a storyteller.
The next day.
Gu Wei went to the city again.
The objective this time is clear: to harvest crops.
Several horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts delivered the vegetables to the newly rented house one after another.
Only after Gu Wei and others were absolutely certain that everything was in order did they move the vegetables to a warehouse in the modern suburbs.
Then they hired a car to take it to the store.
He calculated that doing this once every ten days or half a month would suffice.
A few days later, it will be an auspicious day.
Aunt Zhao's Jiamei Tailor Shop has officially opened.
The Gu family of four went over to celebrate early in the morning.
Gu Wei not only gave him a red envelope, but also two books on clothing cutting that he had found online.
Tang Jiamei was overjoyed.
It feels much more fashionable than what I bought myself.
Her shop no longer has to worry about the style of its products.
