I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 245 Is one enough?

The pot had been idle for more than half a year, and there was a thick layer of dust on it that could not be removed without brushing hard.

Grandma Gu was washing her hands. When she saw Wei Lan reaching out, she slapped the back of her hand without thinking, "Go wash over there!"

Wei Lan pouted, aggrieved and honestly went to wash up.

　　In the Gu family, she seemed to be a beloved person. Not to mention that Gu Chao was reluctant to let her work, even Grandma Gu would nag her every time she saw her doing something.

Wei Lan even understood a little bit why Gu Chao was so afraid of Grandma Gu.

By the time Wei Lan finished cleaning up, Grandma Gu had already carried the stove to the front yard.

Wei Lan scratched her hair and tied it into a loose ponytail. She moved a small stool and sat next to Gu Chao. She took out her lace-trimmed pearl bag and started counting money and votes.

There were scattered tickets from both young and old. The total money was 42 yuan and 52 cents. After deducting the capital of 20 yuan, the remaining 22 yuan and 52 cents were all earned during this period.

"This is our common property!" Wei Lan held the money and handed it to Gu Chao, with a bright and clear smile, "When we give more likes, we can buy a house, land, and hire people to work. Then we will just lie down. Collect money!”

Gu Chaochao looked at Wei Lan favorably: "Don't say these words outside."

"Got it!" Wei Lan hummed softly, her eyes rolling around, and she said as if she was remembering something: "There is a kettle seller at the supply and marketing cooperative. I asked, it costs eight yuan a piece, let's buy one too, right?"

With the kettle, the stove and copper pot can be freed up, and you can do other things at that time, such as making soup, rinsing pots, etc.

 Mutton is cheap and affordable, can be made into soup and is a great tonic, and has an obvious effect in repelling cold.

 “This matter is not urgent.” Gu Chaodao.

Wei Lan thought about it, and it was right.

Although the weather is getting cooler now, it is not that cold yet, so you may not be able to use the hot water bottle you bought.

Thinking about it like this, she quickly put the matter behind her. Unexpectedly, Gu Chao said that he was not in a hurry. When he came back from digging trenches in the commune that afternoon, he came back with a warm kettle.

The kettle has a rattan cover on the outside. It is the most expensive kind bought by the supply and marketing cooperative, costing twelve yuan.

Wei Lan was overjoyed. When Grandma Gu wasn't paying attention, she grasped Gu Chao's chest with both hands, stood up on tiptoes and pecked his chin like a dragonfly, "This is a reward!"

After saying that, he ran away happily.

On the other hand, Grandma Gu was heartbroken when she heard that the hot water bottle cost more than ten yuan. She held the hot water bottle and looked up and down, left and right, and couldn't bear to let go for a long time.

Grandma Gu disapproved and said, "I have already washed out the copper pots at home, why are you spending this money?"

 A dozen yuan can buy six or seven kilograms of brown sugar, which can last for half a year.

"The stove needs to be watched over, and there are always times of negligence." Gu Chao explained, "I put hot water on it this morning and it will still be hot at night. My daughter likes to drink hot water."

Wei Lan glared: No, I don’t have one!

Grandma Gu thought for a while, looked at Wei Lan, then looked at the thermos kettle in her hand, and asked after a while: "Is this one enough?"

 It doesn’t look very big, and it can hold several tanks of hot water.

Wei Lan pecked at the rice and nodded, "Enough, that's enough, grandma!"

　　After finally convincing Grandma Gu, Wei Lan followed Gu Chao into the backyard.

She stepped on the kitchen threshold and jumped on Gu Chao's back. She strangled Gu Chao's neck with one hand and clenched her fist into a fist with the other hand. She rained fists on his back, "Grandma is getting older and can't bear to spend money. What should I buy next time?" The price is as low as possible.”

The older generation is used to being frugal, and after so many years of hard times, even if they have money in their hands, they are reluctant to spend it.
