Gu Wei grabbed a large bag, unzipped it, and took out some goods: "Grandpa, Grandma, take a look, these are the new goods I brought back."
Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi quickly stepped forward to check.
Upon seeing the many brightly colored long dresses, Li Guizhi's eyes flashed with amazement and delight, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "These are so beautiful!"
Gu Jianguo admitted that it looked good, but at the same time, he was worried, "But it's too fashionable, will it sell well?"
Gu Wei said confidently, "It will definitely sell well. Little Grandma, why don't you try on this red dress? We can make a pattern and sell it in it."
In an era where black, gray, blue, and white are ubiquitous and vibrant colors are rare, dressing like this will definitely make you stand out.
At the end of last year, the open supply of cotton cloth and the abolition of cloth ration coupons caused people's previously suppressed enthusiasm for fashion to surge, and there will definitely be a lot of people following the trend.
"good."
Everyone loves beauty, and Li Guizhi was no exception. She happily took the dress and went to the room across the street.
When she returned after changing, Gu Wei was the first to give her a thumbs up.
Grandma is really beautiful. Although she still looks a bit sickly, her skin looks much fairer against the backdrop of her red dress.
Gu Jianguo stared at it, then nodded repeatedly, "So beautiful, so beautiful."
He seemed to see that beautiful, fragrant young girl from many years ago, just like a flower.
A pang of bitterness and guilt welled up in my heart again.
If I hadn't been with him, I wouldn't have suffered so much.
Li Guizhi knew her husband well enough to see that his smile was more like a grimace and his eyes were red. She immediately punched his arm and scolded him, "What are you thinking? Life is so good now. Aren't you afraid that Gu Wei will laugh at you?"
Gu Jianguo suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Gu Wei smiled as he watched his grandparents showing affection, but he didn't feel full at all; in fact, he wanted to eat more.
He finally understood why his grandfather had never looked for his grandmother again until his own death.
Next, the three of them sorted out the goods together.
When Li Guizhi saw the exquisite and beautiful hair clips and accessories, she couldn't put them down.
Seeing this, Gu Jianguo's previous concerns and worries were dispelled.
Gu Wei checked the time and saw that it was almost time, so he left the work to his grandfather and the others and rode his bike to pick up Gu Hongjie from school.
The Second Primary School, at the school gate.
Although it was almost time for school to end, there were very few people there.
Because in this era, most students go to and from school on their own, and very few parents pick them up or drop them off.
Gu Hongjie walked out with his classmates and the others, carrying their schoolbags, but he wasn't in a very good mood.
Ever since his eldest nephew left home, he has felt as if he has lost his pillar of support, and he longs for his nephew to return day and night.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a bicycle bell.
I instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
When Gu Hongjie saw that the handsome man sitting on a bicycle with one leg on the ground was Gu Wei, his eyes suddenly lit up as if a light bulb had been turned on, and he started running.
When did you get back?
"today."
Is this bicycle yours?
"Yes, it's mine." Gu Wei patted the handlebars. "Would you like to sit on the front crossbar or the back?"
Gu Hongjie was extremely excited; his nephew actually had a bicycle!
"I want to sit in the back."
After Gu Hongjie sat down, he put one arm around Gu Wei's waist and waved triumphantly to the classmates who had followed him: "I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow."
Seeing the many shocked and envious gazes he received, Gu Wei smiled and shook his head, then got on his bicycle.
How have you been at school these past few days?
Gu Hongjie stroked the car seat like a precious treasure. "It's alright. Final exams are the day after tomorrow, and then it's summer vacation."
"Really?" Gu Wei asked casually, "How's your revision going?"
"fine."
"How about this, if you do well on the exam, I'll give you a small gift," Gu Wei promised.
Gu Hongjie asked in surprise, "Really?"
Gu Wei laughed: "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
Gu Hongjie immediately patted his chest and said, "Then I will definitely do my best in the exam and try to get first place."
Gu Wei gazed intently ahead with deep eyes.
My father, Gu Hongjie, was a vocational school graduate in the 1990s. After graduation, he was assigned to a state-owned factory as a technician.
I thought I could have a secure job for life.
As a result, he was laid off overnight.
His mother also worked in the same company as him.
For a family, losing both spouses' jobs is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
They quickly started a business with the several thousand dollars they received from the buyout.
Unfortunately, it seems that fate couldn't bear to see them doing well.
Just as their business was starting to pick up and everything was going in the right direction, the two died in a car accident.
He was left with a two-year-old boy and a debt of more than 10,000 yuan.
Let's start changing my father's fate by getting him into high school and then into university.
When Gu Wei and Gu Hongjie returned home, Li Guizhi was kneading dough and Gu Jianguo was frying eggs.
The zucchini in the garden has come to market, and they are preparing to make dumplings with zucchini and egg filling.
Add some pig's trotters and red sausage that Gu Wei brought back from out of town, and make a couple of cold dishes, and you have a sumptuous dinner.
Gu Hongjie put down his schoolbag and ran to the yard to look at the bicycle.
Gu Wei followed him out and, seeing how much he liked it, asked with a smile, "Do you want to learn?"
Gu Hongjie nodded vigorously with great surprise at first, then asked nervously and uncertainly, "Can I do it? This is a new bicycle. What if I fall and the paint chips or it breaks?"
Gu Wei teased him on purpose: "If things go wrong, you can't go anywhere during your vacation. You'll have to help sell clothes to pay off your debts."
