I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 336 Suspicion

   *

Zhang Xiaokui kept an eye on the Gu family for several days, and finally discovered something unusual one morning.

That day Wei Lan finally knitted a sweater for Gu Chao. Since Gu Chao was not at home, she stupidly put it on and tried it on herself.

Wei Lan tugged at the hem of his sweater and muttered, "Is Gu Chao that big?"

She has a small frame and looks slender. She wears a pale blue sweater on her upper body, her shoulders are slumped, her sleeves are much longer, and the hem of her sweater hangs directly to her thighs.

Just as Wei Lan was muttering, You Lan came running from the front yard panting, "Sister Lan, there is someone in the front yard who wants to see you!"

Wei Lan paused slightly: "Looking for me? Are you the educated youth from the educated youth spot behind you?"

Youlan shook his head, "No, I don't know him either!"

Wei Lan was confused. She quickly took off the sweater that was knitted according to the size. She picked up the sheepskin jacket from the bedside and put it on. She smoothed her hair in front of the mirror before going out.

Walking all the way to the courtyard, she saw a young man wearing a dusty cotton-padded jacket standing with his back to the door. Wei Lan glanced sideways, but she really didn't recognize who he was, "Who is it? What do you want from me?" "

Dabao turned around and saw Wei Lan, who was slightly startled. Then he smiled naively, waved the things in his hands, and said, "Sister-in-law, isn't Brother Chao going on a long trip? He told him when he left that you like to drink goat's milk. Let’s buy some and send them over every three to five.”

Seeing Dabao's dark face, Wei Lan also remembered him and quickly turned aside to let him into the yard.

“This trip is quite tiring, isn’t it? You don’t have to go to so much trouble next time…”

Because of the word "sister-in-law", Wei Lan's cheeks turned slightly red.

 She invited Dabao into the house for a cup of tea, but Dabao waved his hand repeatedly, "No sister-in-law, I'm still busy on the mountain, I'm leaving now!"

Dabao kept in mind his second uncle Chen Zhengwen's advice to just do things and not get involved too much, lest he would feel uncomfortable when he came back to the court.

 After he finished speaking, he really walked out. Wei Lan hurriedly chased him two steps, "Wait a minute, I haven't given you the money yet. How much are these?"

 “No need, sister-in-law! I gave it to Brother Chao when he left!”

Dabao waved his hands repeatedly, as if Wei Lan was a man-eating beast. He jumped out of the courtyard and ran so fast that only a small back was visible. Wei Lan couldn't catch up even if he wanted to.

“This man is really... I don’t know what to say.” Wei Lan looked outside the door for a while, and suddenly a car bell rang quickly behind him.

 “Alas! That comrade in front! Give way!”

Wei Lan turned around and saw a dark-skinned young man with a short haircut approaching on a bicycle. She quickly took a step back to avoid him.

The bicycle passed by the door quickly, and Wei Lan muttered: "Weird..."

This bicycle actually came from the bamboo forest path. So, it should be the people from Team 6 on the other side of Xiaogang?

Wei Lan didn't think much, walked into the courtyard and locked the door.

You Lan has already opened the package that Dabao brought over, revealing the contents.

 Two soda bottles of goat's milk, a piece of lean meat the size of a palm, and two large sheep bones.

 The soda bottles are made of glass, similar to the bottles in the Arctic Ocean in later generations. They are not small, but the glass is very thick, and the actual amount of goat milk they contain is not much.

A bottle of soda like this costs 20 cents. The supply and marketing cooperative also recycles the bottles, and you can get a 5 cent refund if you return the bottle.

Wei Lan was afraid that the goat's milk would be spilled, so she took it out alone and asked Youlan to take it into the house. She then carried the piece of lean pork and mutton bones to the backyard to get water to wash them.

Zhang Xiaokui has been staring at the Gu family in the dark.

He has been following Yan Yi frequently to the seventh team these days, and he almost recognizes the faces of the members of the seventh team.

Dabao, on the other hand, had a new face. Zhang Xiaokui saw him coming sneakily and left in a hurry. Zhang Xiaokui felt suspicious and silently wrote down the treasure, preparing to go back and report it to Yanyi later.

When Yanyi learned the news, he was helping to chop firewood at Ji Huaiyuan's house.

Because of the previous stove, Ji Huaiyuan thanked Yanyi so much that he didn’t even plan to build a kitchen afterwards.

In addition to burning coal, the stove can also burn firewood, but if you burn firewood, you must chop the wood into fine pieces.

Ji Huaiyuan is old, and he only chopped one piece of rice paper in a busy morning.

“Deputy Bureau Yan, what should we do now? Do we still want to keep watching?” Zhang Xiaokui asked.

Handing the ax to Zhang Xiaokui, Yanyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked to the window sill in two steps, picked up his uniform jacket and put it on.

Yanyi exhaled a breath of white air, raised his legs and walked out.

Zhang Xiaokui hurriedly followed, but paused again when he reached the door.

Glancing at the ax in his hand, Zhang Xiaokui thought: Does Deputy Yan mean that he should stay here to chop wood?

Zhang Xiaokui was hesitating when Yanyi in front of him suddenly turned his head and said, "Why don't you follow me quickly?"

"Oh! Oh! It's coming!" Zhang Xiaokui quickly entered the house and put the ax away, then quickly ran to stand behind Yanyi.

 The two went to the brigade captain’s house.

Gu Sande is preparing to go to the big canteen. The foundation has been laid two days ago and construction can officially start today. He informed everyone early yesterday afternoon to gather at noon.

"Deputy Bureau Yan?" Seeing Yanyi, Gu Sande stopped and asked Yanyi to come into the room.

Yanyi nodded slightly and stood at the door of the courtyard without moving, "I have something to ask Comrade Gu Chao to do, but I haven't seen him in the past two days. Does the captain know where he went?"

Yanyi's voice was cold and clear, but it was like a big stone falling straight into Gu Sande's heart.

Gu Sande felt a thump in his heart, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

This, are you really here to see Brother Chao?

Yanyi has been coming over these days, but he never mentioned Gu Chao. Gu Sande thought that he had made a wrong reply, and just after he relaxed, he was suddenly asked this question, and his heart suddenly rose.

"I-I wonder if Deputy Bureau Yan is looking for Comrade Gu Chao..." Gu Sande wanted to ask what was going on. When he met Yan Yi's cold and emotionless eyes, he immediately swallowed his words and said instead: "A few days ago, Gu Comrade Chao came to me to write a letter of introduction, saying he was going to Haishi."

"This is nothing unusual. In the early years, one branch of the Gu family went out to do business and never came back. Counting it, it was also Comrade Gu Chao's third grandfather's branch..." Gu Sande could only tell the truth.

Afraid of causing trouble to the Gu family, Gu Sande glanced at Yanyi's face and hurriedly added: "Comrade Gu Chao went out this time. Maybe he got the news and went to Haishi to join his relatives."

Gu Sande swallowed nervously twice, thinking that Yanyi still wanted to ask more questions, but unexpectedly Yanyi just lowered his head and smiled softly.

"Ah—" Yanyi's mouth curved. Although he was smiling, his voice was extremely cold and biting. "In this case, when Comrade Gu Chao comes back, I hope the captain can inform me."

Gu Sande nodded quickly.

 Yanyi turned and left.

The moment he turned around, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, which made Zhang Xiaokui's heart tremble.

 Zhang Xiaokui: What should I do? what to do? Deputy Bureau Yan seems to be losing his temper again!

Please give me a monthly ticket
