The front basket and rear rack were both loaded with items.
So on the way back, Gu Hongjie sat on the crossbar of the car.
Gu Wei could clearly sense that his father had grown taller, at least 1.5 meters.
Compared to children of the same age today, he is not considered short.
Once home, after unloading all his belongings, Gu Wei glanced at the time and prepared to leave.
Upon learning that Gu Wei was going to the city, Gu Hongjie, though still somewhat wanting to go with him, ultimately wisely chose to stay behind.
The clothing stores in the city were indeed doing better business.
Before Gu Wei even reached the destination, he could see from afar that there were many people coming and going at the entrance, most of them carrying heavy loads.
Jin Hongfei is now dating Wang Shufen, and when he saw Gu Wei appear, he smiled even more brightly.
"Brother Gu."
Others also greeted them in turn.
"Brother Gu is here."
"Brother Gu."
"..."
Many customers looked at Gu Wei without prior arrangement.
Some people knew that this was the boss.
Some of them, however, were the first time they had ever seen them.
I never expected the shop owner to be so young and look so energetic.
They are nothing like the stereotypical image of self-employed individuals.
Gu Wei had long since become oblivious to those curious and inquisitive gazes.
He first greeted Li Bin and the others, then chatted with Li Tong for a few words, and then started selling goods and collecting money.
After the peak season ended, there were fewer customers in the store.
Gu Wei said with a smile, "Today is New Year's Day. After we close the shop at noon, I'll treat you to lunch at the state-run restaurant."
"OK."
"Thank you, Brother Gu,"
Everyone smiled with delight.
But then I realized that with business so good, they must be selling far less.
Li Bin knew that the God of Wealth was very generous and kind, and wouldn't be short of money, but since he trusted him so much and entrusted the store to him, there were some things he had to say.
"Brother Gu, there are a lot more people buying things today than usual. There should be a steady stream of customers at lunchtime. How about we switch shifts or bring our own lunchboxes to eat at the store?"
Jin Hongfei, Wang Shufen, and the other sales clerks also chimed in.
Seeing that everyone genuinely treated the store as their own business, Gu Wei was very happy.
"Okay, then let's pack it up and bring it back."
Seeing that Gu Wei wasn't angry, Li Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The others also thought it was a good decision.
After Li Bin handed over the revenue for the past few days, Gu Wei and Jin Hongfei went to the state-run restaurant together.
After all, this was the 1980s, unlike modern restaurants which are everywhere on the streets.
If you don't go early, you might not be able to buy anything.
This restaurant, which serves some of the best food in the city, isn't far from the store.
The two decided to walk there.
Jin Hongfei couldn't wait to tell Gu Wei, "Brother Gu, Shufen and I are planning to get engaged before the end of the year."
Gu Wei really didn't expect them to be so fast.
But at the same time, I'm happy for the two of them.
"Congratulations! You'd better treat him well."
Jin Hongfei grinned from ear to ear, "Don't worry, Brother Gu, I've actually had my eye on her for a while now. She finally agreed to be with me, so I absolutely have to treat her well. I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't agreed to come work at the store, things might not have been so certain."
Gu Wei patted him on the shoulder, "I accept your thanks. But it's fate that you two are connected."
Jin Hongfei nodded in agreement, "We are destined to be together. It's a pity that the Spring Festival is late this year, February 19th is Lunar New Year's Eve."
Gu Wei was amused by him. "I can tell how anxious you are."
Jin Hongfei regarded Gu Wei as his benefactor and brother.
Even if I'm laughed at, I don't feel embarrassed; on the contrary, I feel quite pleased.
Although it wasn't lunchtime yet, the state-run restaurant was bustling with activity, and there were almost no empty tables.
Workers in the city now earn decent wages and are willing to spend money on food and clothing.
Therefore, Gu Wei was not surprised at all when he saw the scene before him.
Jin Hongfei, however, secretly clicked his tongue in amazement, "Why are there so many people? It's a holiday, why aren't they eating at home?"
"I'm too lazy to cook at home, and besides, nowhere can I find food as delicious as the chefs at the restaurants."
Gu Wei said something in a low voice, and then went directly to find a familiar waiter.
Given the circumstances in this country, having acquaintances makes things much easier wherever you go.
Therefore, Gu Wei and Jin Hongfei quickly left with a pile of aluminum lunch boxes filled with food.
After finishing lunch, Gu Wei stayed in the shop for a while longer.
Then they returned to the modern era.
There is a time difference between the two timelines; New Year's Day has already passed here.
Gu Wei went to get a haircut.
I specifically asked Tony to cut it without making it too exaggerated.
After all, in the 1980s, perming was the most popular hairstyle for both men and women.
Some modern fashionable hairstyles are simply not something that some barbers in hair salons can cut.
As a trendsetter, he is closely watched by many people.
For example, Liu Damei next door has asked him more than once where he got his hair cut.
By the time Gu Wei returned to 84, it was already past 4 p.m.
Unsurprisingly, it was already getting dark.
People in the forest area say that May is long and October is short.
There were a few days when it got dark as early as 3 a.m., which would be quite surprising to anyone who had never seen it before.
When Gu Wei got home, he found that Tang Jiamei and the others had arrived.
Furthermore, according to Gu Jianguo, they didn't come empty-handed; they brought quite a few things.
This left Gu Wei feeling quite helpless.
Later, they closed the shop door and the main gate.
