Seeing her son-in-law chatting so enthusiastically with Gu Wei, Yao's mother couldn't help but want to chime in.
But Yao Shulan grabbed his wrist forcefully.
Yao's mother glared at her with displeasure.
Yao Shulan, however, glared back without flinching.
Ever since her husband followed the capable Gu Wei to sell watches and bought a television, her mother's attitude changed drastically.
I will never say again that someone would give up a perfectly good job as a worker in a timber processing plant to do nothing but speculation and profiteering.
She even considered getting her brother to join in and introducing Gu Wei to a potential partner.
If it weren't for the special circumstances today, she would never have given her mother the chance to meet Gu Wei.
While chatting with Zhao Zhengyuan, Gu Wei did not forget to keep an eye on the mother and daughter.
Nature took in their subtle actions.
Zhao Zhengyuan kept his distance from his mother-in-law, worried that he might say something he shouldn't and annoy her, so he quickly said goodbye and left.
Even though Yao's mother was unwilling, she didn't dare to argue with her daughter who was newly pregnant, so she could only go with her.
Gu Wei watched the three figures walk away, shook his head and smiled, then stepped into the shop.
Gu Hongjie and Lin Hang were probably out playing or reading comic books in the back room, and were not here at the moment.
Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi were also happy that Zhao Zhengyuan had a child.
Zhao Zhengying was naturally overjoyed that her younger brother had a child.
They chatted and laughed for a few more minutes.
Gu Jianguo was really worried when he saw that Gu Wei, who was a good catch, didn't even have a girlfriend.
Although Gu Wei is the grandson of his uncle's eldest brother, they get along like he's his own grandson.
Anyway, there's only one customer in the store right now, and the sellers are all their own people, so there's not much to worry about.
"Gu Wei, look at Yuanzi, he's already a father. Shouldn't you hurry up and get going too?"
Gu Wei noticed that his grandfather was becoming increasingly concerned about his finding a partner, which was a sweet trouble.
"I also want to seize the opportunity, but fate is something that can't be forced, so I'll just leave it to fate."
"This can't be left to fate; you have to take the initiative. Especially since you're a young man, how can you..."
Just as Gu Jianguo was about to offer some advice, four or five more customers came in.
Surprisingly, the two female college students I met by the river yesterday were also among them.
Qin Zhiman originally planned to come to the store to buy some things before leaving, and also to try her luck and see if she could run into Gu Wei again and catch a few more glances at him.
As it turned out, it seemed that God had heard her heart's desire.
Gu Wei stood tall and straight outside the counter, just like a pine tree.
As soon as she entered the room, all attention and focus were drawn to this person.
Gu Wei was somewhat surprised to see Qin Zhiman and the others in the store again, then gave a slight smile: "You're here. What would you like to buy?"
Gu Wei's eyes were deep, and with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, Qin Zhiman inexplicably felt his invisible charm. She quickly suppressed the fluttering in her heart, smiled, and said softly, "I want to buy some small, portable gifts to give to people back home."
Gu Wei naturally offered his recommendations.
Pang Wenjing thought about her friend's first flutter of the heart, and how she might gradually forget and let go of it after they parted ways.
So, being sensible, she went to the counter next door to choose, giving herself some time and opportunity to be alone with the person she liked, so that she wouldn't have any regrets when she looked back on it later.
Gu Jianguo looked at Gu Wei, who was unusually enthusiastic and proactive, and then at the incredibly beautiful girl with a blush on her cheeks.
They were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Suddenly, everything became clear, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes from smiling.
Li Guizhi and Zhao Zhengying had similar expressions. Although they knew that Gu Wei was a female college student, in their hearts Gu Wei was no less impressive except for his cultural background.
Only Lin Yu kept her head down, seemingly not paying much attention.
Gu Wei had no idea that he and Qin Zhiman had become the focus of everyone's attention.
However, he was also a little distracted at the moment.
As the two approached, Gu Wei smelled a sweet fragrance emanating from the other person's hair. It didn't seem to be from cosmetics; it was faint but pleasant.
It's probably normal for a young, vigorous man to have some fantasies when faced with a particularly beautiful and fragrant woman.
Qin Zhiman felt that Gu Wei beside her was like a human-shaped furnace.
The heat made her feel hot all over, and even her breathing became heavier.
And he must be someone who pays great attention to personal hygiene and doesn't smoke. She secretly sniffed, and the scents were refreshing and appealing to her.
The two had their own thoughts and spent a long time choosing.
When it came time to pay the bill, Gu Wei rounded down the amount by a lot and gave each of them a brooch.
No matter how Qin Zhiman looked at it, she felt that the one in her hand seemed more exquisite and beautiful than the one Pang Wenjing had.
Her heart was like a lake tossed with a pebble, rippling outwards; she could no longer remain calm.
As they left the store, Qin Zhiman took advantage of Pang Wenjing looking down at the newly bought hair clips to squint her eyes and memorize the door number nailed above the door.
After all the customers left the store, Gu Jianguo didn't bring up the previous topic again.
Gu Wei assumed that his grandfather had simply forgotten because he was busy, and didn't think much of it.
They quickly closed the shop and prepared to go out for dinner together.
They also invited Lin Yu and Lin Hang, but the siblings declined.
Zhao Zhengying had only spent a few days with the siblings; if they didn't want to go, there was no way to force them to.
When visiting someone's home for the first time for a meal, it's only right to bring something.
Gu Wei deliberately took two bottles of liquor, several cans of food, and some loose pastries and candies when he went back to the back room to change his shoes.
When they arrived at the Jin family's house, Zhao Dajiang and Tang Jiamei had already prepared a sumptuous meal.
Seeing that Gu Wei and the others had taken quite a lot of things, they couldn't help but complain to Zhao Zhengying for not stopping them.
Then they started talking about Gu Wei.
"You said you'd come, so why did you bring so much stuff? You're not an outsider."
"Yes, you're too kind, child."
Gu Wei listened with a smile, and then exchanged a few polite words.
The conversation quickly turned to the happy news of the pregnancy.
Zhao Dajiang and Tang Jiamei were overjoyed at the prospect of becoming grandparents; they couldn't stop smiling.
Although all three daughters are married and the eldest and second eldest have children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren still have the added word "outsider".
Gu Wei had met Jin Hongda's family members before, but they had never eaten together.
Jin Hongfei, who had been unemployed recently, found a good job through him, so the Jin family treated him with even more sincerity and enthusiasm.
Even though the main characters are Zhao Zhengyuan and his wife who are pregnant, Gu Wei somehow becomes the darling of the group.
Yao's mother always tried to get close to Gu Wei whenever she could.
However, it wasn't just Yao Shulan who was keeping a close eye on her; Tang Jiamei, who knew what kind of person her future mother-in-law was, also resolutely refused to give her a chance.
This left Yao's mother seething with anger, wanting to lash out but having to hold it in, which was incredibly frustrating.
