In the east room of the Jin family's house, two tables were set up on the kang (a heated brick bed) and on the floor.
As everyone ate and chatted, the topic shifted to Zhao Zhengying and his wife.
Because they got married much earlier than Zhao Zhengyuan, but they don't have children yet.
Gu Wei also looked at Jin Hongda and the others.
After all, in the minds of the older generation, of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring.
No one had ever been better than him before.
Jin Hongda looked at Gu Wei gratefully and said, "We were both young before, and we were in a hurry to have children after we got married. Now that we're both working for my brother Gu, we definitely need to put having children on the agenda."
Zhao Zhengying, who was sitting at the table on the kang, also smiled and chimed in, "Da Zi is right, we'll work harder in the future. Brother Gu, speaking of which, we should both toast you."
Gu Wei hadn't expected that things would come full circle back to him. With a touch of helplessness, he raised his glass and smiled, "Actually, with our relationship, there's really no need to be so polite. I wish you both all the best soon."
"Thank you, Brother Gu." Jin Hongda and Zhao Zhengying said in unison, and then drank the baijiu in their glasses in one gulp.
Both of them expressed their opinions, and Gu Wei was happy to see it happen.
This immediately put the somewhat envious and anxious parents at ease.
They were even more attentive in serving Gu Wei food and urging him to drink, as if they were afraid that he wouldn't eat or drink well on his first visit to their home.
Gu Wei truly felt the fiery enthusiasm of the Jin family.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone knows I'm not a big drinker and I only drink to a certain extent, I would definitely be drunk tonight.
After the meal, Gu Wei and the others sat for a while longer before saying goodbye and leaving.
Both the Jin and Zhao families followed them to the gate to see them off.
Yao's mother was also among them.
She finally seized a chance to speak to Gu Wei, and said very quickly, "Gu Wei, I wanted to ask if you need anyone to help you with errands? My Shulan's brother, Da Bo, is quite clever and capable, and he can endure hardship."
Yao's mother tried to get closer to him several times, and Gu Wei could easily see through her little scheme.
They just kept ignoring it.
Regardless of what kind of person Yao Shubo is, just looking at Yao's mother alone, Gu Wei would not easily use him.
"I'm sorry, Auntie, we don't need any more now."
Yao's mother was extremely disappointed, and at the same time, she understood to some extent that it was probably because she had left a bad first impression on Gu Wei, which had also affected her son.
"Then if you ever need anyone, you must think of us."
"Okay." Gu Wei readily agreed, but how to actually do it was another matter.
Only after watching Gu Wei's family of four and Jin Hongfei walk away did everyone turn around and enter the courtyard.
Yao Shulan grabbed her mother's wrist and, instead of rushing into the gate, went to talk to her on the side.
"Mom, what are you doing? Yuanzi and I have told you so many times, Brother Gu doesn't need any more people! You still have to ask!"
Fortunately, he didn't mention introducing her to potential partners again, otherwise it would have been even more annoying.
Yao's mother angrily shook off Yao Shulan's hand, no longer caring about whether her daughter was pregnant or not.
"What's wrong with me asking you myself? Why are you lying around like that? How did I raise such an ingrate! Look at your three sisters-in-law, how cunning they are! They not only arranged everything for themselves and their husbands, but they even got their younger brother-in-law a good job!"
“How can that be the same? Putting aside everything else, my father-in-law and his family have a good relationship with Brother Gu! Besides, who told you to cause trouble when you were discussing marriage, and Brother Gu overheard it all…” Yao Shulan took the opportunity to bring up her mother’s grievances.
Yao's mother was also filled with regret.
Little did she know that the young man Zhao Dajiang brought back from the mountain to the forest farm was so capable.
If I had known earlier, I would never have let a small matter cause me to lose sight of the bigger picture; I would definitely have tried to maintain good relations...
When Gu Wei and his group returned home, there were still customers waiting outside the store.
Gu Jianguo quickly opened the shop door and let the person in.
Gu Wei ignored all of that and took Gu Hongjie back to the back room.
Although he wasn't drunk, he felt a little sleepy because he had been drinking.
Gu Hongjie's mouth was glistening with oil, his belly was round, and he was yawning and getting sleepy.
After a quick wash together, the two went back to their respective rooms and lay down.
After all that fuss, Gu Wei felt much better.
But the bed was so comfortable that she soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In the opposite room, Gu Hongjie, like Gu Wei, was also snoring softly.
After selling their goods, Gu Jianguo and his team returned to the back room, but they didn't fall asleep immediately.
The couple deliberately lowered their voices as they chatted.
Gu Jianguo listened intently for a while, making sure everyone was asleep, before whispering, "Wife, do you think that female college student has taken a liking to our Gu Wei?"
Li Guizhi recalled the scene at the time, "It must have been, otherwise she wouldn't have blushed so much."
She had been young herself, so she naturally understood how a girl behaves when she likes someone.
Gu Jianguo beamed with delight: "I think Gu Wei seems to treat her a little differently too. This kid really has high standards."
Li Guizhi nodded and said, "That girl is really beautiful, so fresh and lovely..."
Gu Jianguo put his hands behind his head and sighed softly, "This should be a good thing. I was worried that Gu Wei wouldn't take finding a girlfriend seriously. But he's in the capital, a university student, and the two of them are so far apart, it's not easy to arrange."
Li Guizhi advised, "Don't worry about it. I think Gu Wei is a sensible person. Besides, if they are really meant to be, they can be together no matter how far apart they are. If they are not meant to be, they won't be able to be together no matter how close they are."
Gu Jianguo agreed, saying, "That's true. Like Gu Wei said, let's just leave it to fate."
Gu Wei was unaware of the conversations his grandparents had about him.
I go to bed early at night and wake up early the next day.
He opened his eyes just after five o'clock.
After calming down in bed for a while, Gu Wei finally got up and went to the window to lift a corner of the curtain.
Seeing that it was a bright and sunny day outside, with a clear blue sky as if it had been washed clean, without a single cloud, he was in a very good mood.
Although rainy days are good for sleeping, the gloomy sky and damp mud can also make people feel irritable and uncomfortable.
When Gu Wei came out of the house after getting dressed, Gu Jianguo, who was cooking in the kitchen, was a little surprised: "Why did you get up so early? Anyway, there's nothing to do, so sleep a little longer."
Gu Wei smiled and said, "I'm not going to sleep. It's rare for me to get up early, so I'll go out for a walk and pick up the goods from the warehouse. That person will be here this afternoon."
"Then go ahead, you'll probably be back just in time for breakfast." Gu Jianguo knew that Gu Wei didn't want them to go to the warehouse with him, so he wisely didn't mention going along.
After pushing his bicycle out the gate, Gu Wei glanced at the tightly closed iron gate outside the shop and could faintly hear Jin Hongfei snoring inside.
He couldn't help but laugh.
He then got into the car and drove away.
