Gu Wei saw Zhao Zhengyuan off, and then took the opportunity to return to the modern world.
In the past few days, since he found his grandfather and the others, he has been staying in the 84 area for longer and longer periods of time.
My phone has a lot more missed calls and messages.
Most of them were official business.
Jianfei reported that she was undecided.
There were also some requests from Zhou Wenyi.
Gu Wei handled it simply.
Then, seeing in the dormitory group chat that the eldest and second eldest had finally freed up time and planned to fly over for a get-together over the weekend, Gu Wei immediately chimed in.
It was as if water droplets had been poured into a frying pan; the group chat erupted in a frenzy.
It's all emojis of people calling someone "Dad".
Gu Wei and the others exchanged images for a long time before they finally started having a serious chat.
After graduating, the eldest son, Chen Wu, went to work in Beijing.
The second son, Cao Zhengqi, returned to his hometown and passed the civil service exam.
No matter how glamorous they may seem on the surface, they all have their own troubles.
They all envied Gu Wei for achieving financial freedom ahead of schedule.
If it weren't for being so busy with work lately and unable to get away, I would have come over to celebrate immediately.
Gu Wei chatted with them for a long time, agreed on a time to pick them up at the airport, and then made an excuse to leave first.
When Gu Wei returned to 84, he carried a black handbag into his home.
Gu Jianguo and the others stopped what they were doing and looked at him curiously.
"I went to the warehouse and got some clothes. You can wear these to make patterns when you're selling goods."
Gu Wei decided to use the rented house as a warehouse from now on.
This provides both a private space and a reasonable place to store the goods.
That's what they said, but how could Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi not understand that Gu Wei was indirectly giving them clothes to wear?
Li Guizhi was deeply moved, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Gu Jianguo was also deeply moved.
Actually, although they are relatives, they have never met.
As a result, they were treated like elders they had lived with for a long time, with the other party always thinking of them and helping them in every way.
Neither of them were the type to use sweet words, so they decided to repay the child's sincere heart with practical actions.
The next day, Gu Wei and the others had breakfast.
No sooner had Gu Hongjie left than people arrived at his home.
Gu Wei was very happy to see that not only Zhao Zhengyuan and Zhao Dajiang, but also Tang Jiamei had come.
He often sees Uncle Zhao and the others.
Aunt Zhao, however, was never seen again after that trip to the forest farm.
"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, you've come down too. Please come in and sit down."
Like Zhao Dajiang, Tang Jiamei couldn't sit still when she heard that Gu Wei had not only found relatives but also bought a house down the mountain.
"You bought a great house. It's close to the school and the street, so you can sell it for whatever you want in the future."
As soon as Zhao Dajiang arrived, he took a liking to this place: "Yeah, even if you don't sell clothes, I think you could definitely make a good business selling popsicles, candies, pens, notebooks, and the like."
Gu Wei also felt that he had good judgment, and he was naturally very happy that someone shared the same view.
Li Guizhi and Gu Jianguo had already met Zhao Zhengyuan yesterday, but unexpectedly, Zhao's parents came to their house again.
After Gu Wei introduced them, there was an inevitable lively exchange of pleasantries.
Zhao Dajiang was filled with emotion, "Back then, when our forestry farm's security section chief heard about the search for relatives, he inquired about you through many people, but couldn't find you. In the end, Gu Wei found you on his own!"
Tang Jiamei also chimed in, "It's only right that you two met first. That kid across the hall got to know Gu Wei first. But if Gu Wei hadn't gone to your house to look for you, he might not have run into you for a long time."
Gu Jianguo nodded in agreement, "That's exactly right. It just so happened that my son was delivering dumplings at the time; otherwise, we shouldn't have thought too much about having the same surname."
Both were honest people, and before long they were having a very pleasant conversation.
It was as if we weren't meeting for the first time, but rather as friends who had known each other for a long time.
The conversation mostly revolved around Gu Wei.
In the end, even Gu Wei, who isn't usually shy, felt embarrassed by the praise.
It's easy to imagine how exaggerated their praise was.
They also reached an agreement on how to address each other, deciding to use different terms of address.
Gu Wei certainly had no objection to this, but for some reason he felt a little amused.
He calls Zhao Dajiang "uncle," while his great-uncle calls Zhao Dajiang "brother."
This reminded him of a line from a classic movie: 'Let's stick to our own roles; I'll call you brother, and you call me dad.'
Zhao Dajiang and his group came not only to take a look, but also to help cover the board with mud.
After lunch, everyone changed into their work clothes.
Zhao Zhengyuan brought planks from his workplace and also had someone get some yellow mud.
Zhao Dajiang also asked his third daughter and her husband, who lived at the foot of the mountain, to come and help.
Zhao Zhengying works at a chopstick factory, selecting chopsticks; she is employed under a contract.
Her husband, Jin Hongda, works at a particleboard factory, but like her, he is not a factory worker.
Gu Wei had met Zhao Zhengyuan before at his wedding, so they weren't strangers.
He also traded a wild ginseng that was over sixty years old with a relative of Zhao Zhengying's mother-in-law.
Zhao Zhengying looks a lot like Aunt Zhao. She has a cheerful and talkative personality and is quick and efficient at her work.
"Brother Gu, if your clothing store ever needs more staff in the future, please consider me first."
At that time, the state-run stores of the supply and marketing cooperatives had not yet been abolished, and the position of sales clerk was extremely difficult to obtain.
Although Gu Wei was a self-employed individual, he had the ability to obtain good goods, and Zhao Zhenghong firmly believed that the business would definitely be good.
So, as soon as she came to help, she was tempted.
Gu Wei smiled. "No need to wait until later, I'll consider you now. But the salary won't be as high as my great-uncle's, are you still willing?"
Grandma's health isn't very good; she can't be overworked or stressed.
Grandpa was alright selling men's clothing, but when it came to selling women's clothing, it was best to have a salesperson like Zhao Zhengying.
If Gu Wei were to hire someone else, he would need to observe them for a period of time to see if they were trustworthy.
It would be better to use Zhao Zhengying, whom we know well.
Zhao Zhengying was overjoyed. "Brother Gu, look at what you're saying. How can I compare to your relatives? As long as you're willing to hire me, I'll definitely work hard."
“Okay, then we’ll add you to the shop from now on,” Gu Wei said decisively.
Zhao Dajiang and Tang Jiamei were both a little embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, the third daughter had this idea, but since Gu Wei had already agreed, it would be inappropriate for them to say anything else. They could only give Zhao Zhengying a gentle reminder.
"You have to work as hard as if it were your own business."
"Yes, we can't let the opportunity they give you go to waste, otherwise we should make room for the good people as soon as possible."
Zhao Zhengying readily agreed.
Even without mentioning Gu Wei's help to their family, she cherished this great job opportunity.
Many hands make light work.
They built the mud house in just two days and even painted it.
In this process, everyone's relationship became more harmonious and closer.
