Li Guizhi glared at him, "Gu Wei is indeed good-looking. You're just a country bumpkin, how can you compare to him!"
Gu Jianguo rubbed his nose and muttered softly, "Even if I can't compare, you still had your eye on me when you were young."
Li Guizhi also lowered her voice, "Who told you to always hang around me, either fetching water for me or doing chores for me? And when there's something good to eat, you even force it into my hands..."
After exchanging a few playful banter, Gu Jianguo frowned and brought the topic back to Gu Wei.
"I don't know if he and that college student Xiao Qin will ever settle down. If it doesn't work out, we might as well go and find someone else sooner rather than later. If we delay things, won't Hong He and the others blame us?"
Li Guizhi thought for a moment and said, "Who can say for sure about this now? It depends on whether they are destined to be together. Why don't you write a letter to Honghe and ask him what they think?"
Gu Jianguo nodded: "That's fine. After all, marriage is a major life event, and his parents have the final say. I'll write it now..."
"Okay, go ahead and write it. Also, Gu Wei is a kind and generous kid who has helped us so much, so we should send Honghe and the others some local specialties or something."
"Yes, yes, we must send them more things. They may not need anything right now, but we should still show our appreciation, even if it's just a token of our goodwill."
Gu Wei, on the other side, had already fallen asleep, just like Gu Hongjie.
Little did they know that the couple, instead of sleeping at night, had suddenly decided to write a letter to Gu Honghe.
The next day, the sky was clear and blue.
It's another beautiful autumn day with clear skies and crisp air.
In the morning, Gu Wei took Gu Jianguo to the city.
After looking around inside and out, Gu Jianguo felt that the location was good, and the store was big enough to accommodate more counters and goods.
The two discussed how to handle the renovation issues.
Gu Jianguo originally wanted to do it himself.
Anyway, he can do everything, which will save him some money.
But Gu Wei didn't want his grandfather to suffer, so he insisted on spending money to find someone.
In the end, Gu Jianguo couldn't argue with the powerful and had to agree to his idea.
The two of them had finally made it to the city, and even went to the department store to buy a bunch of things before taking the bus back.
After lunch, Gu Wei went back to his room to rest.
Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the room opposite.
He immediately perked up.
As he put on his shoes and got out of bed, he called out loudly, "What's wrong?"
Gu Hongjie and Lin Hang rushed out of the room as if they had been rescued, pointing at the television in the east room.
"We were watching it just fine, but suddenly something was wrong. The TV program disappeared and turned into a big round ball covered with colorful little squares!"
"Could the TV be broken? But we haven't touched anything!"
Gu Wei walked over and saw the television signal test diagram on it, and was momentarily at a loss for words.
However, we just bought a TV and this is the first time we've encountered this situation, so it's normal that the two kids don't know.
He patiently explained to them, "It's not that the TV is broken, it's because the TV station is doing equipment maintenance and the channels are down. They're closed for an afternoon every Tuesday, and the channels should be back on around 6 p.m.
Gu Hongjie and Lin Hang both breathed a huge sigh of relief.
They were really startled just now.
Then they all looked at Gu Wei with immense admiration.
"How are you so amazing? You know everything!"
"Yeah, we were both terrified just now, we thought the TV was broken!"
Gu Wei patted their shoulders one by one, "The more you see, the more you'll know. When you get to my age, you might be even more capable than me."
As the three were chatting, Gu Wei inadvertently noticed a kraft paper envelope on top of the camphor wood chest.
At first, he didn't pay much attention.
However, when I walked over and saw who the recipient and sender were, my eyes widened and I almost broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he discovered the letter in time, which had not yet been addressed or stamped.
Otherwise, if it's mailed without his knowledge, then we're in big trouble!
My identity is about to be exposed!
With no television channels available, Gu Hongjie and Lin Hang no longer waited until almost time for class to go to school as usual.
After the two left, Gu Wei picked up the letter and pondered it for a long time.
He then went to the front, waved the letter as openly as possible, and asked, "Grandpa, are you sending a letter to my dad and the others?"
Gu Jianguo slapped his forehead. "Look at my memory. I wrote a letter to your dad and the others last night. We haven't been in touch for many years, and I didn't know if the letter could still be mailed to the original address. I thought I'd ask you, but then I got busy and forgot about it."
Regardless of his inner turmoil, Gu Wei remained outwardly composed. "I knew it! The envelope only had my dad's name on it, not the address. No need to mail it; I'll just take it with me. I'm planning to go back and sort out my household registration soon. I've bought a house here, and I'm opening shops one after another; it'll be too much trouble if I don't transfer my household registration."
Gu Jianguo had no doubts whatsoever and followed Gu Wei's train of thought, saying, "Yes, yes, hurry up and get the household registration transferred, otherwise the house can't be transferred, and we'll have to ask people to give gifts and such to get the business license, which is a waste of favors..."
At this moment, Li Guizhi asked from the side, "Gu Wei, when are you leaving? Your great-uncle and I wanted to prepare some food for your parents."
Gu Wei breathed a sigh of relief and made a decision instantly: "Tomorrow or the day after."
Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi exchanged a glance. "Okay, there's enough time to prepare."
