I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 345 When will you come back?

"I'm fine, I just accidentally fell down." Wei Lan patted You Lan on the head, fastened the courtyard door and led the person inside, "It's so windy at the door, isn't it cold sitting here?"

You Lan pursed her lips and said, "I'm waiting here for Sister Lan to come back."

Aunt Gu heard the news that Wei Lan was back and came out to help heat the meal.

Seeing Wei Lan in such a mess, Grandma Gu was so frightened that she ran over and her voice trembled, "Hey Wei Lan, what's going on?"

Wei Lan repeated what he had just said to You Lan.

After a while, he smiled and comforted the old and the young: "Grandma, I'm fine, it's just that my clothes are dirty. I'll just go change my clothes and take a shower and wash my hair."

Grandma Gu wanted to ask again, but she was worried that Wei Lan's clothes would get wet when she fell, and she would catch a cold, so she quickly urged Wei Lan to go into the house to change clothes.

 When Wei Lan closed the door, Grandma Gu turned to invite You Lan to go to the kitchen to heat up rice and hot water.

After taking a shower and changing out of dirty clothes, Wei Lan sat by the small stove in the kitchen, wiping her long hair that was still dripping while keeping warm.

While watching her grandma busy, Wei Lan stretched her neck curiously and asked, "Grandma, what are you doing?"

Just now, Grandma Gu and You Lan were sitting at the door of the kitchen picking out the gravel from the rice in the basin. Wei Lan thought they were preparing to make rice.

Now seeing Grandma Gu washing the cold rice, fetching well water to soak it, and then covering it with a cloth before making any further moves, Wei Lan realized something was unusual.

 Where is the process of cooking here?

 Not only the process, but also the quantity of rice is wrong.

Grandma Gu usually cooks with fine grains mixed with coarse grains. She would add about half a bowl of rice and seven or eight sweet potatoes to make a meal. The rice in the basin just now weighed four or five kilograms.

Grandma Gu is an extremely frugal person, so she is afraid of treating Wei Lan badly, so she relaxes her frugal standards.

Now that this is happening, Wei Lan really doesn't understand it.

Hearing this, Grandma Gu smiled and glanced at Wei Lan jokingly, and explained: "When Brother Chao went out, he said that he would go to the capital with you in a while. There is nothing good at home, so I asked Lan Ya to go to the team. I exchanged some glutinous rice for it and came back, turned it into rice wine and took it to the capital city."

"Grandma!" When she heard that it was for her family, Wei Lan was embarrassed at first. Then when she heard Gu Chao's name, the corners of her raised lips couldn't help drooping, and her eyes immediately became moist.

Wei Lan quickly turned her head away and blinked to hide the moisture in her eyes.

With a blush in the corner of his eyes, Wei Lan turned back to Grandma Gu and said, "Grandma, this is so troublesome! There is everything in Beijing, and it will be the same when Brother Chao and I get out of the car and buy it."

"I have to buy it, but this is the family's wish." Grandma Gu smiled again, "Don't underestimate this rice wine. It has many benefits for the body. It can activate blood circulation, warm the stomach and strengthen the body."

Grandma Gu paused and suddenly patted Wei Lan's hand twice: "Your parents are both good comrades of our revolution. They suffered hardships on the battlefield when they were young, and their bodies are prone to decline... No, I still have this rice wine. It will take more brewing.”

Grandma Gu stood up and walked out with her little feet: "Lanya, Lanya, go and bring back some glutinous rice."

As Grandma Gu said, this is her intention.

  It was the first time the Gu family came to visit, so Wei Lan did not interfere anymore.

 She glanced at the snow-white rice grains sinking in the basin, then turned to look out the window.

The gray and dark green bamboo forest was covered with a layer of foggy white, and the heavy snow continued to fall. Through such a small window, this was what Wei Lan saw.

 The snow is outside and she is inside.

Like a dream…

However, I always feel inexplicably irritable! Wei Lan frowned and covered his head with a towel. He wiped his wet hair roughly and accidentally touched the place where the back of his head was hit. "Hiss—"

Wei Lan took a breath of air, the pain was severe.

 What a big bag.

Wei Lan took off the towel, touched the bulge on the back of his head with slender fingers, and pressed it tentatively. When he took it off, he saw that there were light blood stains on the white and pink pads of his index and middle fingers.

 At first she thought it was a bruise, but it turned out that it had already been bruised before she knew it?

If Gu Chao were here, he would definitely be very nervous, right?

 In his mind, he could even think of Gu Chao hurriedly looking around.

Wei Lan put a towel on her head and huddled next to the small stove with her knees folded. She picked up firewood chopped into thumb-thick pieces to add fuel to the stove. Her small, bright red lips were raised high.

Just for a moment, the smile on his face quickly faded away.

It was freezing cold outside with heavy snow falling. In the small warm kitchen, the girl curled up beside the stove and sighed softly: "When...are you coming back?"

 The next morning, Wei Lan deliberately got up early.

Wei Lanli put on a pine-green cotton-padded jacket in three layers and wrapped a red cashmere towel around her neck.

 Gently opening the door, Wei Lan shivered as the cold wind blew in her face.

It snowed all night last night. The sky and the earth outside were covered with snow, and the branches were bent with heavy snow.

The house sparrow in the treetop heard the sound of the door opening, and jumped a few steps closer. It tilted its little head and looked at the Gu family courtyard with dark eyes as big as mung beans.

After a while, he seemed to feel bored, so he fluttered his wings and flew to the fields. Inadvertently, the treetops were disturbed, and the snow fell from the branches with a rustle, and fell to the ground with two "tapping" sounds.

Wei Lan was shocked by the snowy scene outside the door for a moment. Thinking of something important, she quickly stopped her thoughts, tightened her scarf, took it home and headed towards the brigade.

 “Captain!”

 When he arrived at the brigade leader's house, Gu Sande was using a shovel to clear the snow at the door.

When he heard someone calling him, Gu Sande said "Hey" blankly and raised his head, "Wei Zhiqing, where are you going so early?"

Seeing Wei Lan tidied up so early, Gu Sande thought she was coming to ask him for a letter of introduction.

Just as Gu Sande was about to say something about the cold weather, Wei Lan spoke up: "I'm not going anywhere, but I just want to ask the captain if he has any peanuts at home?"

Gu Sande invited Wei Lan into the house. After hearing Wei Lan's reason for asking for peanuts, without saying a word, he waved his hand and asked Huang Chunxiang to go to the grain house to get it.

“The brigade handed over the peanuts from the autumn harvest, and each household got a little of the rest. Just wait, I’ll ask your aunt to get it.”

Yesterday something happened in Yanyi, and both Gu Sande and Huang Chunxiang heard about it.

This incident happened in their seventh team, and it happened while Deputy Yan was working for them.

This matter is not a trivial matter. Gu Sande said he was going to visit the county last night. It snowed all night. The snow was thick on the road and the muddy road was difficult to walk. In rainy and snowy weather, buses from the commune did not leave. .

Gu Sande was anxious. Now that he heard that Zhang Xiaokui was coming over soon, he had an idea in his mind.

Gu Sande looked at Wei Lan and said, "Wei Zhiqing, since Deputy Director Yan likes to eat it, then you have to cook it well!"
