"yes."
Gu Wei glanced at his watch; it was almost time to enter. Just as he was about to leave, someone grabbed him.
"Brother, I haven't given you your change yet! I still need to thank you properly separately."
Gu Wei waved his hand dismissively: "You're welcome, it was nothing."
"That's no small feat. I haven't been home for days, and I've almost saved enough money for my brother's medical treatment. If that Liu Gang takes it from me, I'll be devastated. Here, have some sunflower seeds." The girl stuffed a dollar into Gu Wei's hand.
Gu Wei would never take advantage of someone else.
Especially after learning how difficult the situation was.
"No need, there are several of us going to the movie. Just give me a few more bags of sunflower seeds with the rest of the money."
The two argued for a long time, and it ended with Gu Wei taking a big pile of sunflower seeds into the movie theater.
He found carrying too many things cumbersome, so he quickly distributed them to the people in the seats in front and behind him who were watching the movie.
Gu Wei initially thought this was just a minor incident.
As I walked out of the movie theater, I saw that little girl surnamed Lin again.
He immediately decided to walk around it.
To avoid being given sunflower seeds again.
As Gu Wei entered the alleyway filled with bungalows, he saw two people, one standing and one squatting, at the gate.
They are Zhao Dajiang and Zhao Zhengyuan.
"Uncle Zhao, when did you arrive?"
Zhao Dajiang immediately stood up, rubbed his knees, and said with a smile, "I haven't been here long. I figured you might have gone somewhere, but you'll be back sooner or later."
Zhao Zhengyuan smiled and chimed in, "My dad was just saying that you'd be back soon, and he was right."
Gu Wei couldn't help but smile: "Yes, Uncle Zhao is incredibly insightful."
Zhao Dajiang smiled and pointed at them: "You two lads, stop flattering me! I just stumbled upon this by sheer luck."
Gu Wei stepped forward, took out the key, and opened the door.
The three of them entered the courtyard, chatting and laughing.
Zhao Dajiang and his group didn't come empty-handed; each of them carried some things.
After entering the house, Gu Wei opened the box by placing it on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and then he learned what was inside.
There are coarse and refined grains, lard, and some pickled vegetables.
They picked fresh green vegetables, more than ten eggs, and pickled salted duck eggs.
There was also an aluminum lunchbox filled with sauerkraut and oil-fried dumplings made by Aunt Zhao.
Gu Wei was filled with emotion and warmth.
The simplest and most unpretentious things are often the most touching.
"Uncle Zhao, you've been so kind to me. Please tell Aunt Zhao for me that you even made dumplings for me. But don't take any next time, I can't eat that many by myself."
Zhao Dajiang laughed and said, "Young man, how can you not eat it all? You don't have a local household registration, so you can't buy the rationed grain. You'll have to eat the grain that's sold at a high price. No matter how fast you make money, you still have to be careful with your money when it comes to living a good life."
Especially since you're not married yet, you need to save even more money. If you spend it all recklessly, how will you get married in the future?
Gu Wei knew that Uncle Zhao's earnest words were for his own good, so he listened very carefully.
Zhao Zhengyuan, however, was somewhat unconvinced.
I feel my father is too long-winded.
Besides, they know how fast others make money.
"Dad, how much money will it cost for my brother Gu to get married? He can earn it now."
Zhao Dajiang belatedly realized that he was still using the same old methods, without considering who he was dealing with.
"I'm getting old, I'm acting like an old woman now."
Gu Wei hurriedly said sincerely, "Uncle Zhao, please don't think that way. I actually really enjoy hearing you say these things. They're very kind and make a lot of sense."
Zhao Dajiang felt instantly comforted.
"You're so much better than my own child."
Gu Wei and Zhao Zhengyuan looked at each other and smiled.
They then started talking about watches.
Of the twenty yuan I left for Zhao Dajiang, eight have already been sold.
Zhao Zhengyuan still has thirty-three yuan in his hand.
The two didn't get any wild ginseng, but they did manage to get tiger penis and deer penis.
Gu Wei was very satisfied with this.
Zhao Dajiang wandered around the front and back of the house.
She then helped Gu Wei tend to the vegetable garden and fruit trees before leaving with Zhao Zhengyuan.
After they left, Gu Wei lingered for a while before returning to the modern world.
I took a nice, relaxing shower in the bathroom.
He was enjoying the air conditioning, watching videos, and eating dumplings made by Aunt Zhao, along with braised pork and side dishes from a takeout order.
I can't help but sigh, compared to decades ago, modern life is so much better.
