"Gu Wei, why didn't you tell us about such a big event as the opening? We only found out because Yingzi called the forestry factory headquarters."
Zhao Dajiang was extremely grateful to Gu Wei for his help and was worried about how to repay him.
Opening a business is definitely a great opportunity to give gifts.
"I thought you guys were busy farming right now, so I didn't tell you."
Gu Wei originally only wanted to open the business simply by setting off firecrackers.
But since they've come, we definitely have to prepare a good meal and drinks to entertain them.
Not seeing Zhao Zhengyuan's wife, he casually asked her.
Tang Jiamei laughed and said, "We have a TV at home, so we don't feel at ease without someone. Besides, my Shulan has a bit of a cold and isn't feeling well, so we didn't come down."
Gu Wei responded with an "Oh," and said, "Catching a cold in the middle of summer is indeed uncomfortable."
"Yes." Tang Jiamei actually suspected that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, but it hadn't been long, and Gu Wei was a young man, so there were some things she couldn't tell him. "I haven't even looked at what they sell in the store yet."
Gu Wei smiled and said, "Let Yingzi show you; there are quite a few kinds."
Zhao Dajiang and Jin Hongda were also very curious, so they followed them into the store.
Zhao Zhengyuan wasn't in a hurry to go; he wanted to hand over the money and the items first.
Gu Wei was overjoyed to see that two more wild ginseng roots over fifty years old had been collected.
However, he does not plan to make any further moves in the near future.
After all, this is an extremely scarce resource in modern times. Taking out a small amount is fine, but it's hard to say what will happen if it's too much.
After packing the money away, Zhao Zhengyuan said, "Brother Gu, I heard from my third sister that the girl brought her grandfather over and returned the money. What's going on with her family? If her maternal grandparents have connections, how could she be bullied like that by the son brought by her biological father and stepmother?"
These past few days he's been running around in the mountains and valleys, and hasn't met with Gu Wei, but he's very concerned about the aftermath of the rescue that day.
"Who knows? There's probably something going on."
Gu Wei was also confused about what was going on.
They were just strangers who had met by chance. After exchanging a few more words about the boy's illness, they changed the subject.
Later, Li Bin also brought his mother to the house.
Li's mother, Li Yanlan, was meeting Zhao Dajiang and the others for the first time.
Gu Wei introduced them to each other.
After that, the group quickly started chatting enthusiastically.
Gu Wei didn't ask anyone to check the opening time; he just thought it was about time and asked Gu Hongjie to set off firecrackers.
After a series of crackling sounds, a pile of red paper scraps lay on the ground, like a red carpet, and the air was filled with a pungent smell.
Gu Wei held his camera, capturing certain moments.
They also took many individual and group photos for everyone.
These days, apart from wedding photos, full moon photos, first birthday photos, and family portraits, people rarely go to a photo studio to take pictures.
At first, Zhao Dajiang and the others were stiff and unnatural in their poses and expressions, but they relaxed a lot after taking more pictures.
Perhaps it's because of its good location, and the foundation laid by selling and promoting products in front of several factories a few days ago.
After the store opened, people started coming in one after another.
Many people today don't lack money, but rather material resources, limiting the goods they can purchase.
Suddenly I discovered a store that sells men's and women's clothing, as well as hair clips, hair flowers, and many other trendy trinkets.
Not only the forestry bureau's shops, but also the city's high-rise buildings were empty, and many people rushed over after getting off work at noon upon hearing the news.
Fortunately, all prices were clearly marked and there was no room for bargaining, which saved a lot of talking.
Fortunately, there were many people at home today, with more than ten people guarding the door and several areas, keeping a watchful eye on everything around them.
Gu Wei was responsible for collecting money behind the counter near the entrance, which felt a bit like running a two-dollar store.
By 2 p.m., most of the goods in the store had disappeared, and there were fewer customers.
Gu Wei decisively closed the shop door.
Although I'm a little tired, such a great start is so encouraging that it's enough to make all the fatigue disappear.
Furthermore, what Gu Wei didn't know was that not only Zhao Dajiang and the others had developed some ideas about becoming self-employed individuals, but even Li Yanlan, who had always thought that her second son was idle and always thinking about speculation, had changed her mind.
Gu Jianguo took charge of cooking, with several people assisting, and soon a sumptuous meal was prepared.
They sat together, eating and chatting, creating a lively atmosphere.
Gu Wei, whose alcohol tolerance was average, stopped drinking after a small amount.
Everyone understood this, and no one urged anyone to drink.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the front door.
Then a strong female voice asked, "Is anyone home?"
Gu Wei had finished eating. He stood up and said, "You guys take your time eating. I'll go check on things."
Gu Hongjie followed along like a little tail.
When the door opened, Gu Wei was slightly taken aback.
Because one of the two women standing outside the door was a waitress at the state-run restaurant.
Gu Hongjie immediately greeted her sweetly as "Hello, Auntie."
Gu Wei greeted him with a smile, then went to open the door.
Xu Qiuhe had vaguely guessed that the young man in front of her was the one selling fashionable clothes at the gates of various factories that day. Now, looking at the goods in the room, she couldn't help but look at Gu Weigao with higher regard.
"You're so capable! The merchandise you've selected looks amazing!"
Gu Wei had a very good impression of this older sister. If she hadn't stepped in and driven Zhang Chunqin away that day, they might have continued to entangle themselves for a long time.
"Sis, if you think they look good, pick out more. These are all imported from the south."
Xu Qiuhe smiled and nodded: "Okay, my sister and I will take a look first."
Xu Qiuhe's younger sister is named Xu Qiuju, and she loves everything she sees.
The two sisters whispered to each other as they made their selections.
"Hey lady, I think the things sold in this store are even more attractive than those in the department stores in the provincial capital!"
"That's for sure. Haven't you heard? The goods came from the south. We're late. Most of the good ones have already been picked. It's all your fault for dawdling. To put it bluntly, we can't even catch the hot shit."
Xu Qiuhe felt very sorry. In fact, she had heard about it in the morning, but she was in no hurry to come over, thinking that she would wait for her second younger sister to come together.
"How was I supposed to know their stuff was so fashionable and stylish?" Xu Qiuju was also annoyed. She secretly glanced at Gu Wei sitting behind the counter. "That young man is so good-looking, he doesn't look like someone who runs a small business. I wonder if he has a girlfriend, my workplace..."
Xu Qiuhe nudged her with her elbow: "You'd better stop doing matchmaking and arranging marriages in the future. You'd be willing to eat a hundred beans and still feel disgusted!"
Xu Qiuju rubbed the spot where she had been hit and quickly changed the subject: "Hey, big sister, when my little sister comes back from university for summer vacation in a few days, there will be a place to buy clothes. So she won't keep saying that our place is small, a poor and remote place with nothing to buy."
“That girl has high standards, and besides, they should be available in the capital.” Xu Qiuhe waved her hand: “Let’s hurry up and pick ours, we’ll talk about it when she gets back.”
When the bill came, everyone spent seventy or eighty yuan.
Gu Wei rounded down the few cents and even gave them two pretty hair clips as a gift.
The two sisters were overjoyed, and their affection for Gu Wei skyrocketed.
