Chapter Seventy-Nine: Reply



The letter begins with "Dear Comrade Gu Wei, I hope you find this letter helpful."

A strong sense of nostalgia washes over you.

Gu Wei raised an eyebrow and looked on with a smile.

The gist of the message is that after Qin Zhiman returned home, she still felt embarrassed about the camera incident and thanked Gu Wei for sending her delicious meat skewers, brooches, and gifts he helped her choose. Her relatives and friends also liked them very much, so she sent some Beijing specialties as a token of her gratitude.

Upon seeing the "Yours sincerely" part, Gu Wei flicked the letter twice and couldn't help but smile.

The reason this girl gave was rather far-fetched.

But why does it inexplicably feel so awkwardly cute?

It is impolite not to reciprocate.

Gu Wei would definitely have to reply and send some food.

But for him, who was used to modern communication facilities and advanced networks, writing letters by hand was a novel experience.

He has no clue how to write it, especially not the specifics.

So he put the letter in the drawer, intending to write it later that night when everyone was quiet.

When Gu Wei came out of the west room, he found that Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi had returned to the front, but Gu Hongjie had not.

He was sitting on a small stool by the door, turning a Rubik's Cube.

Three awakened puppies were also surrounding her feet.

Gu Wei squatted down, reached out and stroked the soft, adorable little creatures, and casually asked, "How are they?"

"This is so difficult," Gu Hongjie said, frowning.

Although he was somewhat curious about the female college student's letter, what currently captivated his attention was the new toy, which he couldn't recreate no matter how he turned it.

Gu Wei reached out his hand to him, "Let me try."

Gu Hongjie originally thought that Gu Wei would not succeed either.

As a result, his eyes widened even more.

Gu Xiuzhang's fingers moved quickly as if casually, and it was done in no time.

"Wow, how did you do that?"

Having earned Gu Hongjie's astonishment and admiration, Gu Wei was in a great mood and ruffled his hair. "Want to learn?"

Gu Hongjie's eyes sparkled, and he looked up and said loudly, "I want to learn! I really want to learn! Please teach me!"

Gu Wei feigned an air of profound knowledge: "Well, seeing how diligent and eager you are to learn, I'll pass on some secrets to you..."

Gu Hongjie nodded vigorously.

After that, I listened and watched very attentively, and once I had memorized the information, I began to put it into practice.

Gu Wei then started playing with the three puppies.

Seeing their little mouths sucking so vigorously on his fingertips, making humming sounds, he guessed they were hungry.

He also fed them some milk.

After they had all eaten their fill, the little ones walked around and randomly found a spot where they bent down, spread their short legs, and peed in a puddle of yellow water.

Gu Wei was left both amused and exasperated.

Luckily, it wasn't indoors, otherwise the smell would have been terrible.

They were still puppies, not even a month old, and were sleepy after relieving themselves.

Gu Wei then manually moved them back to their kennel.

Afterwards, I sat on the recliner that my grandfather made by hand, leisurely basking in the sun.

The sunlight was a bit too bright, so Gu Wei shielded his eyes with his hand and then simply closed them.

I could hear various sounds coming from my ears, including the chirping of unknown birds.

Gu Wei felt exceptionally pleasant and comfortable returning here from the bustling city.

It seems that time, the pace of life, and everything else have slowed down.

He later looked around his yard and thought that it would be perfect if he could renovate the house properly and add a bathroom with running water.

Unfortunately, in a place full of single-story houses, it's not so easy to do.

Moreover, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down; they are outsiders, and it's not good for them to be too high-profile.

He had heard rumors that the Forestry Bureau was building houses near a state-owned factory, and he could try to buy one then.

Once we move upstairs, the bathroom problem will naturally be solved.

Later that evening, Zhao Dajiang and Tang Jiamei came to the house.

When they saw that Gu Wei had finally returned, the couple had a similar reaction to Gu Jianguo and the others, and spent a long time asking him how he was doing.

While accepting all the suggestions, Gu Wei noticed that Aunt Zhao seemed to have something to do recently, and was no longer a housewife who revolved around the stove. She seemed more confident and capable.

Uncle Zhao also actively helped with the tailor shop business, and as for the land leased by the forest farm, he had already hired three people to help take care of it.

This is a development and change that he is very pleased to see.

There's really no need to do everything yourself and exhaust yourself.

That evening, because Gu Wei had returned, Zhao Dajiang and the others also came to the house for dinner.

Gu Jianguo prepared eight dishes and a soup, which was quite a feast.

Although the chef at the private restaurant was highly skilled, Gu Wei missed the taste of home even more, and unknowingly ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.

Seeing how much Gu Wei was enjoying his food.

Gu Jianguo felt sorry for him suffering outside, but at the same time, he was extremely happy.

After Zhao Dajiang and the others left, Gu Wei chatted enthusiastically with Gu Jianguo and the others until 8:30 before returning to his room.

He sat down at his desk, turned on the lamp, laid out the manuscript paper, and removed the cap from his pen.

They certainly put on quite a show.

result.

After saying "Hello, Qin Zhiman" at the beginning, and expressing gratitude, I got stuck on the rest of the sentence.

To be fair, the two were not very familiar with each other.

He might have a lot to say if they were face-to-face.

But when it comes to writing a letter, I feel somewhat at a loss for words.

After crumpling the paper into several balls, I finally finished a reply.

The next day, while having breakfast, Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi couldn't help but ask, "Gu Wei, when do you plan to reply to Xiao Qin?"

"Yes, they even mailed us snacks from so far away, we're definitely looking forward to their reply."

Faced with their eager gazes, Gu Wei swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I wrote it last night. I'll go to the post office later and mail some food there too."

Seeing that Gu Wei had taken action so quickly, the two exchanged a quick glance, both overjoyed.

With such back-and-forth communication, how could there not be an opportunity over time?

"Then send more mail, we can't let the girl think we're stingy."

"Yes, I know."

In fact, Gu Wei saw through the underlying motives behind their intense focus on this matter.

Even though many outsiders viewed him as a speculative and despised individual business owner.

In the eyes of his family, he was a college student who was fully worthy of being called a prodigy.

In this era, college students and self-employed individuals belong to completely different worlds and social classes.

It's not so easy to cross or combine them.

Moreover, since he didn't have a household registration and his identity was fake, he didn't think too much about it for the time being.

However, it's a good thing that this can put Grandpa's mind at ease about finding him a partner.

Gu Hongjie listened to their conversation silently while eating.

She glanced at her parents, then at Gu Wei, and lowered her eyes.

His impression of the beautiful female college student changed later, but he still felt she was not good enough for his nephew.
