Chapter 88 Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh.



Gu Wei only stayed at the private restaurant for a short while before driving away.

After returning to 84, he went to the city's department store and Xinhua Bookstore.

Besides all kinds of food, I also bought a lot of comic books.

The dozens of books that Gu Hongjie was rewarded with for getting first place last time have already been read many times.

Even though he had seen them all and remembered them perfectly, Gu Hongjie was reluctant to lend them out easily.

He treasured it like a precious gem, locking it away in his treasured wooden box.

Gu Wei suddenly remembered this matter today and quickly ordered another batch.

By the time we got back to the Forestry Bureau on the forest railway, it was already past four o'clock.

Gu Wei went to the bicycle parking area in front of the station, took out the parking ticket marked with two cents, and retrieved the bicycle.

Afterwards, I hung the things I bought on the handlebars and the crossbar, and sped off towards home.

When he arrived home, Gu Jianguo was cleaning up pheasants and rabbits in the yard.

Gu Wei asked curiously, "Grandpa, who delivered it?"

When Gu Jianguo saw that Gu Wei had bought a lot of things again, he quickly put down the pheasant he was plucking and came over to help unload the things.

"Your Uncle Zhao and the others. They heard that Li Bin was robbed, so they came over for a while. Then they found out that we were having dinner at home that night, so they left..."

Gu Wei set up the car ladder and said helplessly, "They're really something. Why are they leaving? They'll stay and eat with us."

"I guess I can't refuse, since I'm not familiar with Xiao Ke and the others."

Seeing the various snacks and comic books in the net bag, Gu Jianguo said, "Gu Wei, why did you buy so much again? You're spoiling that brat too much!"

Gu Wei said with a smile, "Grandpa, not only does he love to watch it, but I love to watch it too."

Gu Jianguo chuckled, "Actually, I like watching it too."

"It is indeed beautiful."

Gu Wei took the opportunity to say, "By the way, Grandpa, I have to go out the day after tomorrow to deliver the old items I collected to the customers."

Although Gu Jianguo was somewhat reluctant and worried, he had gotten used to Gu Wei going out from time to time.

Besides, since we spent so much money on this, the sooner we send it over, the less trouble we'll have, and the sooner we can get our money back.

"Okay, go ahead, but be careful on the way."

Don't worry.

The two had just brought their purchases into the house.

Gu Hongjie ran back from outside, carrying the cardboard box containing the doghouse.

He was overjoyed to see the pile of comic books placed on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

At comic book stalls, it usually costs 1 cent to read a book, and if the book is thicker, it costs 2 cents. Many of the books are old books that have already been read.

Why do you buy so many comic books?

Gu Wei readily offered a reason: "As a reward for helping out at the shop this summer."

Gu Hongjie grinned so wide his eyes disappeared, and his small chest puffed out proudly.

He couldn't wait to wash his hands thoroughly, then picked out a copy of "Red Flag Spectrum" and lay down on the kang (heated brick bed) to read it with great eagerness.

Gu Wei looked at his focused and absorbed expression and shook his head with a smile.

Gu Jianguo also felt helpless and amused by his son's obsession.

Halfway through cooking, Ke Yi arrived with two other people.

The older man had a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, large hands and feet, and a somewhat robust build.

It makes people think at a glance that he must be very strong.

The young man behind him looked to be in his early twenties, wearing bell-bottoms and a floral shirt, with his hair permed.

Ke Yi said respectfully, "Brother Gu, let me introduce you. This is my friend Qiao Xinghai, and next to him is his apprentice Yu Jun."

Gu Wei smiled gently and said, "Hello."

The two said in unison, "Hello."

Although they hadn't shopped at the store much, everyone knew that the clothing store had very fashionable items, all high-quality goods from the south. Getting to know the store owner by chance was a good thing for anyone.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone went to the living room to sit down.

Gu Wei sincerely thanked them, saying, "Thank you so much for your help. It was so easy to find the person."

Qiao Xinghai hurriedly said, "Actually, it was just a coincidence. To be honest, we weren't much of a help."

Yu Jun quickly chimed in, "Yeah, Brother Gu, no need to thank me! Those two guys are no good, I've had my eye on them for a long time! We even fought before, they resorted to dirty tricks, such lowlifes..."

Gu Wei also learned more about them from Yu Jun.

After chatting for a while and getting to know each other better, they both felt much more relaxed seeing that Gu Wei was very sincere and a genuine person.

Yu Jun is an outgoing person. “Brother Gu, I’ve bought things from your store several times before.”

Gu Wei smiled slightly, "Really? It's a pity we didn't know each other then. I'll definitely give you a discount next time you come."

Qiao Xinghai waved his hand: "No need. The goods all have a purchase price."

Upon hearing his master's words, Yu Jun quickly replied, "Yes, there's no need to give him a discount."

Gu Wei said nonchalantly, "It's okay, we're all friends."

The phrase "we're all friends" immediately shortened the distance between them.

Qiao Xinghai said firmly, "If you need anything in the future, just come to the transport team. I can't guarantee anything else, but the vehicles are reliable."

Gu Wei smiled and nodded: "Okay. I won't hesitate to ask you for help if you need anything in the future."

As each dish was taken out of the pot.

The table next to the side was laden with a generous spread of dishes, a truly sumptuous feast.

Ke Yi had eaten at the Gu family's house a few times and had gotten used to it, so his expression remained normal.

Qiao Xinghai and Yu Jun stared wide-eyed, their mouths watering unconsciously.

Even though their wages are high and they earn extra income from outside jobs, they still don't reach that level of income during the Chinese New Year at home.
