If Gu Hongjie didn't have to go to school, he definitely would have kept up.
Later, after being escorted to the school gate by them, he couldn't help but muster up the courage to make a request to Gu Wei.
"Can you pick me up after school?"
Gu Wei, of course, would not refuse.
He had never been picked up and dropped off at school by his father, and he always felt envious and longing whenever he saw other classmates being picked up and dropped off by their parents.
Therefore, in this time and space, he wanted to fulfill some of his father's wishes.
Let him have a happy and joyful childhood.
"Okay, I'll definitely come pick you up then."
Gu Hongjie nodded vigorously with satisfaction, then turned around with a smile and jogged into the school.
Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi could both sense that Gu Wei genuinely liked and loved their son.
Seeing Gu Hongjie become lively and confident in a short period of time, they were very grateful and constantly reflected on their shortcomings as parents.
The group walked and talked until they reached the vicinity of the First Primary School.
When Gu Wei saw the condition of the old house, he was even more satisfied.
Not only is the location good, but the house is also very sturdy. You can tell that it has been carefully repaired and maintained over the years. The windows are double-glazed, and the doors are covered with sheet metal.
The homeowner is a retired old man surnamed Qian.
In the 1950s, he was among the first people to come to the forest area to participate in its development.
Because their son was allocated a 56-square-meter brick house, the whole family moved there, leaving the old house empty.
In the summer, it's not so bad for the single-story houses; we just need to come and check on them every few days.
However, when the winter temperatures drop to minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius, they have to come over every day to light a fire.
Otherwise, if the water pipes freeze, it will inevitably affect the lives of the neighbors.
Last winter, because of the cold weather and slippery roads, the old man fell on his way to the old house and fractured his coccyx, requiring a long period of recuperation.
Therefore, the family wanted to sell the old house to save time and effort, and they could use the money to buy home appliances to improve their quality of life.
It hadn't sold yet because of its high price.
After the old man recovered, he would come here often and planted a lot of vegetables in the garden.
Now that he's met Gu Wei, who's not short of money, the house seems to have become his in the blink of an eye. Old Master Qian feels a bit lost and indescribably sad.
He walked around the house one last time, touching this and looking at that, his eyes filled with memories and reluctance.
Finally, he explained a lot about the house to Gu Wei, then sighed and left with heavy steps.
