I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 381 Brother Chao, are you okay?

If the TV program picture is not clear, you can control the direction of the antenna by rotating the bamboo pole. As long as a stronger signal is received, the program picture will become clearer.

 So, in many TV dramas, there is a classic scene where one person is spinning a bamboo pole outside the house, another person is paying attention to the picture on the screen inside the house, and the two people raise their voices to inform each other of the situation.

After Wei Lan finished speaking, Gu Chao had already turned to the last few pages of the instruction manual. Sure enough, there was a pattern for assembling the antenna.

Gu Chao found the antenna equipment from the box and quickly assembled it according to the instructions. Then he picked up the hatchet and went to the bamboo forest to chop bamboo.

Wei Lan stood up and said, "I haven't seen or been to Taolin before, so I don't even know what it looks like."

Gu Chaojian frowned in disapproval, "There will be peach blossoms in spring, so we can go there then."

There is snow everywhere now, making it easy to slip. Moreover, there are diagonal cut stakes left by cutting bamboo in the past. They are very sharp. If you accidentally fall, no matter how thick you wear, there will be holes.

Gu Chao rarely showed a stern expression, but once he did, it meant there was a certain danger.

Wei Lan pursed her lips and had to change her mind, "Okay then."

Gu Chao went to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo, and Wei Lan went back to the house to get wool for knitting a sweater.

The threads were first taken out of her red sweater. At first she said she was going to knit it for Youlan, but later because Gu Chao had less clothes in winter, she knitted Gu Chao's first.

The red wool is one inch wide according to Youlan's body, and most of it has been knitted. If you work hard today, you should be able to finish it.

Wei Lan had just finished knitting two stitches. When she thought of something, she lifted the half-knitted sweater and spread it out in front of her. She looked back and forth, and suddenly an idea struck her.

He took out a roll of white cashmere thread from the cabinet. When weaving later, Wei Lan would add two white stitches from time to time.

Just like that, after about half an hour's work, there were two white five-petal flowers in the newly knitted part.

 Red is already a very bright color, and with such a unique pattern, it becomes even more unique.

 You Lan will definitely like it.

Wei Lan pursed her lips and chuckled.

 As long as you count the number of stitches at the beginning, it will be easy to knit later.

Gu Chao was chopping bamboo and splitting the branches. Wei Lan couldn't help him, so he simply immersed himself in knitting a sweater. The fine needle in his hand was quickly threaded and picked, and soon, there was another small white flower.

On the other side, Gu Chao has tied the antenna tightly to the top of the cat bamboo with a rope, set up a ladder next to the window of Youlan's room in the front yard, and is preparing to fix the bamboo under the eaves.

Have tried it, it will only work if someone holds the bamboo pole on the eaves.

Youlan is weak and unable to do anything, and grandma is old and has weak legs and feet.

Gu Chao was afraid that Granny Gu wouldn't be able to hold her back and would hit him instead.

“Lanya, go call your sister Lan and ask her for help if you need anything.” Gu Chao thought for a while and said to You Lan at the bottom of the ladder.

Youlan nodded and ran away.

Wei Lan has already knitted the sweater to the end of the collar, and will just mend the two sleeves later.

Hearing You Lan say that Gu Chao needed help, Wei Lan put the needle in place without saying a word and walked out.

Wei Lan held up the cat bamboo underneath, and Gu Chao put nails into the half of the beam that protruded from the eaves, leaving only two centimeters of the entire length outside.

Wrap the iron wire around the bamboo several times, and finally around the beam. The newly nailed nails will just catch the iron wire.

This is not enough. The iron wire will rust easily when exposed to rain and will break over time. Gu Chao lowered his head and You Lan handed over the hemp rope for binding in time.

You Lan squatted on the steps in front of Wei Lan, raised her little face and asked innocently: "Sister Lan, are there really little people on the TV?"

"Of course." Wei Lan was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it.

She couldn't explain the principle clearly. Even if she could explain it clearly, Youlan wouldn't understand it. Wei Lan was in a dilemma when Gu Chao's deep voice came, "The programs were all recorded by others first, and TV just reproduces the programs in front of your eyes."

 Gu Chao paused and remembered the photo studio he saw in Haishi. He said, "It's like a camera, except that the pictures he took were freeze-frames."

Youlan asked again: "What is a camera?"

 Gu Chao:…

 Suddenly ran out of words.

Wei Lan burst out laughing, "Look at how difficult it is for your brother."

Gently patting You Lan's little head, Wei Lan smiled and said: "Cameras can take photos and leave precious images, such as the big heads of great people in the room. They were also taken as photos at first and then printed. Made into a big head.”

You Lan nodded obediently. She had only half-understanding at first, but now she understands. You Lan had an idea in her mind.

 It would be nice if she had a camera.

Then she wanted to take pictures of Sister Lan, brother, and grandma, and also take a picture of everyone together.

Wei Lan took advantage of the situation and took the small hammer handed over by Gu Chao. With a gentle smile on his face, he continued: "There should be a photo studio in the county. When I get the chance, I will take you to take a look."

After finishing speaking, Wei Lan was slightly startled.

 Speaking of which, she and Gu Chao haven’t taken a photo together yet!

Most of the photos produced by photo studios in this era were black and white photos. Not to mention how beautiful they are, but they are still a mark of an era, so it’s good to keep them as a souvenir.

Wei Lan was just about to tell Gu Chao that they would go take pictures together when her body suddenly became weightless, and Gu Chao was holding her up and carrying her on his shoulders.

 “Brother Chao!”

 “Ah ah ah! Brother, what are you doing!”

"It's cold outside, let's go inside and watch TV." Gu Chao carried one on his shoulder and another on his waist, and took Wei Lan and You Lan into the house with a quick pace.

“Next time, carry me like a sack, and I’ll never end it with you!”

 “Brother is bad!”

The wind started to pick up again outside, so Gu Chao closed the door casually. The big one and the small one who had just stood still came over and knocked on him with their little fists.

Pressed her left hand on top of You Lan's head and turned her head to one side. Gu Chao put his right hand around Wei Lan's waist and quickly pecked her lips, "Okay, nanny."

Wei Lan: "!"

Wei Lan's peach blossom eyes widened slightly and she turned her head to look at You Lan. Gu Chao lowered his head and pecked her lips again.

Before Wei Lan's fist landed on him again, Gu Chao let go of the two of them at the same time. With a teasing smile on his thin lips, he led the antenna all the way to the back of the TV and plugged it in.

Gu Chao was bending over to play with the TV, while Wei Lan was stomping her feet angrily, grumbling and complaining, but not daring to say anything about Gu Chao kissing her.

Grandma Gu was making lunch in the kitchen, hearing the noise in front of her, and her old face was smiling so hard that her eyes could not be seen.

 It’s better to stay at home with Brother Chao. Look, how lively it is.

　　The TV was still full of snowflakes when I turned on them. After adjusting several channels, I finally found a blurry picture of a program where a figure was almost covered in snowflakes.

“I’ll turn the antenna!” Wei Lan immediately jumped up from the bamboo bed, opened the door and ran out.

After a while, I heard Wei Lan's voice rising: "Brother Chao, are you okay?"
