Gu Wei leisurely rode his bicycle around the Forestry Bureau, enjoying the quiet and beauty of the early morning.
Then I went to the house I had rented before.
Since meeting his grandfather and the others, he has only come over a few times occasionally.
No one lives in the bungalow because it's not heated, and with the rain yesterday, it feels damp and cold as soon as you enter.
Since it was still early, Gu Wei opened the windows and doors to ventilate the house and then strolled around the front and back yards.
The plum and crabapple trees in the back garden were laden with many small, green fruits.
Some of the plums were already turning reddish-green.
suddenly.
Gu Wei heard what sounded like the weak cries of a puppy.
He immediately followed the sound.
A litter of puppies was found among the slightly crooked stacks of firewood and wooden sticks, with a black mongrel lying nearby.
Gu Wei chirped a few times, but the skinny dog didn't react at all. Instead, the three puppies with their eyes closed whimpered even louder.
Clearly, the mother dog is dead.
The puppies look like they were just born; I don't know if they'll survive.
Gu Wei felt he had a special connection with these puppies, and now that he had seen them, he couldn't just sit idly by.
Because of the tricky angle and the gap that wouldn't allow a tall adult like him to squeeze in, it took him a lot of effort to get them out.
The big black dog had already stiffened.
Gu Wei examined it but still couldn't determine the cause of its death.
The puppies' cries were hoarse and pitiful; they must have been cold, hungry, and thirsty.
Gu Wei ignored the big dog for the time being and took the three puppies back into the house first.
Then I went back to Hyundai to retrieve some usable items.
I wrapped the little guys, whose fur was a bit damp, in a small blanket and fed them water and formula one by one.
Gu Wei gently stroked their little heads with his fingertips.
Although all three puppies have black fur, their paws are yellow and white, and one of them has white fur on its neck, making it easy to tell them apart.
Perhaps because they were warm and had eaten and drunk their fill, the puppies huddled together, whimpering and making sucking motions with their mouths, and soon fell asleep.
Gu Wei then went to the backyard, dug a deep pit under the tree, and buried the mother dog.
It took quite a while, and by the time we got back, the clothing store was already open for business.
Seeing Gu Wei return, Gu Jianguo quickly came out to help take the car handlebars and push it into the yard.
Gu Hongjie also wanted to do his part.
Just then, a soft "hmm" sound came from Gu Wei's bag, which caught his attention.
"What?"
"Little puppy."
"Huh? Let me see!"
Gu Hongjie was overjoyed; he loved dogs the most.
Seeing Gu Hongjie so excited, Gu Wei smiled and said, "Okay, let's go inside and take a look."
After Gu Wei entered the east room, he opened the bag.
When Gu Hongjie saw that there were three tiny puppies, each the size of a palm, he was overjoyed!
Wow, there are three! They're so small and cute!
Gu Jianguo also came over, looked at it, and said, "It hasn't opened its eyes yet, it must have been born just a few days ago. Where did you find it?"
"Over there in the warehouse..."
Gu Wei briefly recounted what had happened.
Hearing this, Gu Jianguo and his father felt even more sorry for the little ones.
Gu Jianguo smacked his lips. "They're too small. It's not certain they'll all survive."
"No matter how many survive, let's take good care of them first." Gu Wei certainly hoped that none of them would die, so that they could grow into big dogs to guard the house, but life and death are predestined and no one can control them.
“Let me take good care of them!” Gu Hongjie patted his chest and guaranteed, “They will all be alive and kicking.”
Gu Wei smiled and patted his little shoulder, "Okay, then this glorious and arduous task is entrusted to you."
Gu Hongjie immediately became as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and began to make a comfortable and warm doghouse for the puppies. He even rummaged through the cabinet and found the cloth bag that Li Guizhi used to keep cotton and scraps of cloth.
Gu Wei ignored him, washed his hands, and sat down to enjoy his breakfast.
He had only eaten half of his meal when Lin Hang, who had come to work with Lin Yu, heard about the puppies and immediately came to the back room.
The two children quickly made a makeshift doghouse and placed it on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Gu Wei couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the two of them stay by his side without leaving for a moment, even discussing how to name the puppy. He simply let them be.
I got up a bit early this morning and did a lot of things, so it's inevitable that I'll feel sleepy after a big meal.
Gu Wei went back to his room, lay down, and took a nap.
When I woke up again, it was already past ten o'clock.
I glanced at the east room and found that Gu Hongjie, Lin Hang, and the puppies were not there.
I guess they went to the front.
He had barely sat down on the chair by the door when he saw Li Bin lead a travel-worn man into the courtyard.
Gu Wei glanced at him and guessed that this person might be Li Bin's buddy from the provincial capital.
And it turned out they were right.
Once inside the room, after being introduced, Gu Wei learned that the man's name was Xu Kailin, and he was from the provincial capital.
After returning to the city from his time as an educated youth, he was never given a job. His family was so poor that they could barely afford to eat, which is why he started engaging in buying and selling.
Xu Kailin said excitedly, "Brother Gu, I've always heard Binzi mention you, but I didn't expect you to be so young."
Gu Wei had a good first impression of Xu Kailin, and considering that Xu had a life-or-death friendship with Li Bin, he thought Xu was a reliable person. "We're all friends, no need to be so polite."
"Yes, we're all friends, so I'll just tell the truth and not say anything more."
Xu Kailin was overjoyed by Gu Wei's words and continued sincerely, "Back then, I risked everything and worked hard to earn money, only to be swindled out of everything by someone using a fake digital watch. I was utterly devastated and even contemplated suicide. If it weren't for Binzi and you, I might not be standing here today. Thank you so much!"
Gu Wei waved his hand and laughed, "I can't accept this thank you. You should thank Li Bin instead."
“Absolutely deserves it, Brother Gu,” Xu Kailin said decisively.
Seeing that the two were having a good chat, Li Bin finally felt relieved.
He had been worried that bringing his buddies to the God of Wealth's door so abruptly would displease him.
"Brother Gu, Lao Xu just got off the train this morning. The situation is just as you predicted. As soon as the watch tickets were canceled, everyone went crazy buying them."
Gu Wei smiled calmly, "Is that so?"
After chatting enthusiastically for a while, they finally got down to business.
The two then took another 20,000 yuan worth of watches from Gu Wei before leaving...
In the afternoon, Sun Guochao arrived at the house ahead of time.
Gu Wei had already prepared some clothes with the care labels cut off and various small accessories for him to choose from.
Sun Guochao was overjoyed, only regretting that he could only scrape together so little money to purchase the goods.
He ended up buying 120 pieces of men's and women's clothing, as well as many hair clips, hair ornaments, sunglasses, and other similar items.
Gu Wei didn't have much of an emotional reaction to receiving two thousand yuan at once.
After all, they handled too much money.
Gu Jianguo, on the other hand, was overjoyed.
He was a little anxious and stressed because the store's recent sales were not comparable to those in the first few days after opening.
That would be perfect if people could come to buy goods every now and then.
