I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 429 A series of love stories

Wei Lan was busy working and waiting for Gu Chao. Time flew by quickly. When she finished three pages of questions, she looked at her watch. It was already 11:30 pm.

 It’s already this time and I haven’t come back yet…

 Is there something wrong?

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a muffled sound in the backyard.

The orange light in the room was warm and leaked along the clear glass. Wei Lan raised her head and met the eyes of the man outside the window unexpectedly.

 The four eyes face each other.

The man was startled for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, pointing in the direction behind the kitchen, his lips moving silently: Nannan opened the door.

Wei Lan opened the back door of the kitchen, and Gu Chao entered the house carrying a heavy basket. He was covered in moisture, and there were small drops of water hanging on the hair on his head.

"Is it raining?" Wei Lan glanced outside as she closed the door. It was pitch black in the distance and she couldn't see anything. There was a faint light under the window, hazy, and she looked at the still white ground.

 It is dry.

 “It’s not raining, it’s dew.”

Putting down the backpack, Gu Chao pressed himself against Wei Lan from behind. Before his chin could reach her, the little girl turned around and pushed him away in disgust.

 “Stay away from me, you stink! It’s all smelly!”

"Then I'll take a good wash in a minute." Gu Chao smiled hoarsely and was not annoyed. He bowed and took out the things in the basket.

A large piece of fat and thin pork belly, a palm-sized tenderloin, and a pair of white pig ears.

The smell of pig mutton and blood is a bit strong, it must be a freshly killed pig.

Wei Lan was uncomfortable and took a small step back.

 Gu Chao reacted belatedly and said, "You go back to your room and sleep, and I'll clean up."

Wei Lan pouted and ignored him, moved a chair, took off the basket hanging on the hook on the kitchen beam, and asked Gu Chao to hang the pork on it.

 “Have you not eaten yet?”

The little girl rolled up her sleeves, took her grandma's usual robe and put it on her body without saying a word. She put her two slender white wrists behind her back and tied the laces neatly.

Gu Chao's eyes were deep and dark, and Wei Lan spoke again, "How about some noodles? I still have a handful of egg noodles at home."

 “Okay.” He responded quickly.

Wei Lan asked Gu Chao to light the fire. There were two large pots on the front and back of the stove. She filled the back pot with a large pot of water, covered the pot lid, turned around and stepped on the chair, and cut half a palm-sized piece of pork belly that Gu Chao bought. The meat comes down.

If Wei Lan eats it by herself, she will most likely cut the tenderloin. Gu Chao likes to eat something fatty, and pork belly is more suitable.

But after cutting the meat, Wei Lan pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and took a small bowl to put the meat in for later use.

Originally, she wanted to make shredded pork noodles, but pork belly was not as easy to cut into thin strips as tenderloin. She was afraid that Gu Chao would have to wait too long, so she simply cut it into thin slices and tried another method.

 Pour oil into the pot, add the minced onions and **** and saute until fragrant, then add the meat slices and fry until they change color, add salt to taste, soy sauce to adjust the color, stir-fry twice and pour in a ladle of water, cover the pot and wait for it to boil.

Wei Lan turned around and went to the cupboard to get the egg noodles. She had eaten a tube of the egg noodles she bought a year ago. She took them out of the cupboard and weighed them. She found that there was no change in terms of vision and weight.

Wei Lan stretched her neck to look at Gu Chao, "We went to the capital city, and grandma and the others haven't eaten here."

 Egg noodles are a fine grain, and they are a good thing in this era. The elderly are always reluctant to eat them themselves, and insist on saving them for the younger generations to eat in the future.

 Gu Chao knew Grandma Gu’s temperament, so he said lightly “Hmm” and said: “Next time, make more fine grains and eat them together.”

Grandma Gu is reluctant to eat fine grains and always wants to keep them. But if she cooks them directly and makes a lot of them, she is reluctant to eat them. She will eat a few more bites for fear of spoiling the food.

"Okay." Wei Lan nodded. The pot was bubbling. She was about to untie the lid of the pot when she saw the little head peeking out of the door from the corner of her eye. She suddenly stopped and asked, "You Lan?"

"Sister Lan! Brother!" You Lan was lying at the door of the kitchen, stretching out her head and sniffing. She was embarrassed to touch her head that was tied into a chicken nest, and said embarrassedly: "Okay, it smells good!"

You Lan was half asleep just now. She smelled the fragrance and thought it was a dream. When she got up and took a look, she saw her brother and Sister Lan together in the kitchen, and she knew it was not a dream.

 It turned out to be a greedy little cat.

Wei Lan chuckled lightly, "I'll cook more for your sake. Go put on your clothes first!"

 The little girl was still wearing single clothes, but she suddenly caught a cold.

You Lan's little head was shaking with flowers. She nodded hurriedly and turned around to go to the main room to get dressed.

Wei Lan went down into the pot and cracked two more poached eggs. There was still a handful of small rapeseed leaves that she had picked up during the day. She washed them early in the morning and put them in too.

The fire in the stove was high and it simmered for two or three minutes. Wei Lan opened the lid of the pot and estimated the amount of food for two people. One person filled a large bowl, the other filled a small bowl of noodles, a small bowl of meat, and a poached egg for each person.

The two of them, one older and one younger, sat down at the table like good babies. Wei Lan brought the steaming noodles over and said, "Okay, let's eat!"

The noodle soup is slightly thick and oily, with alternately fat and lean meat, and a few green onions. You can tell how fragrant and delicious it is without smelling or tasting it.

You Lan was holding the somewhat hot bowl and wanted to take a sip of the soup. When his lips were about to touch the soup, he was attracted by the heat and came back. He picked up the poached egg and took a bite.

 “Well…Lan, sister Lan…good time!”

The little girl's big eyes are black and sparkling, making Wei Lan look as cute as a newborn deer.

Wei Lan raised her eyebrows and smiled with her peach-blossom eyes, "As long as it tastes good, eat slowly and chew more, okay? Otherwise, your stomach will feel uncomfortable when you sleep in a while."

You Lan hesitated and nodded, and indeed slowed down.

On the other side, Gu Chao was holding chopsticks in his hands and had not started eating yet. He saw Wei Lan standing aside with a slight frown on his face, "Where's yours?"

You Lan looked up and saw that Wei Lan didn't take the bowl, so she quickly asked: "Sister Lan, don't you want to eat?"

"That's enough." Wei Lan raised the corners of her lips slightly, glanced at Gu Chao calmly, and snorted squeamishly, "How can you miss me?"

 Wei Lan went to the cupboard and got another bowl.

She wasn't hungry, so she cooked the noodles before putting them in. After serving them to Gu Chao and Youlan, there were only some vegetable leaves and two or three pieces of meat left in the pot.

 He poured some noodle soup, put the vegetable leaves and remaining meat into the bowl, and sat down between the two of them.

Wei Lan held the bowl, blew a few breaths, and took a sip of the soup.

　　Just now, I felt a little cold. After taking a sip of the hot soup, Wei Lan was shocked and felt that all the hairs on my body stood up. However, after a while, I felt warm in my stomach, and the warmth gradually spread to my whole body, making me feel very comfortable.

Wei Lan couldn't help but lower her head and wanted to take a few more sips. Suddenly, the chopsticks holding the poached eggs came to her, and then fell into the bowl, and then...

 Slices of meat were handed over.

Youlan transformed into Ji Fengyao and followed her brother's example, also putting meat into Wei Lan's bowl.

 “Hey, hey, hey! Stop! Stop!”

How can Wei Lan eat like this? He quickly put down the bowl and stretched out his hand to block the two people's chopsticks. "I'm not hungry. Besides, there's a big pot of noodle soup in the pot. If I'm hungry, I can cook some more noodles!"

Without saying a word, Gu Chao stood up and walked to the cupboard, taking out the remaining noodles in the next second. “Oh Brother Chao!” Wei Lan stood up and stopped him, stamping her feet coquettishly, “I’m really not hungry!”

Wei Lan emphasized again and again, and Gu Chao stared at her for a long time before giving up and sitting down on the table to start eating.

Wei Lan held the eggs and wanted to put them into his bowl. Gu Chao ate the noodles with a big mouthful, but he didn't slow down. He quickly stopped the bowl with his hands and said without raising his head: "Eat everything in the bowl, and be obedient."

 The tone is like coaxing a child.

 Wei Lan pursed his lips, and out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of You Lan's squinting little face. His face suddenly turned red, and he glared at Gu Chao fiercely. He said nothing and buried his head in eating.

After dinner, Wei Lan coaxed You Lan back to her room to sleep. When she came back, she saw Gu Chao washing dishes. She found a wooden bucket to help Gu Chao get hot water for bathing. "The captain came in the evening and said that it will be sunny next week." , you can plant sunflower seeds to raise seedlings.”

 “Yeah.” Gu Chao responded lightly.

Wei Lan tilted her head and looked at him, "Today is Wednesday, and there are still four days until next week."

 If it’s four days, it won’t be easy to go to the sea market again.

Gu Chao understood what Wei Lan meant. He paused, thought for a moment and said, "Then don't go now. I'll send the letter tomorrow and wait until this time is over before I go."

Wei Lan and Liu Ye frowned, not agreeing, "Is it safe?"

Every time she brought back a lot of things, she was always a little worried.

"You saw it when you came back from the county." Gu Chao comforted softly, "It's safe."

"I won't take risks, for you, for grandma and the others." Gu Chao smiled softly as he gently touched Wei Lan's little head, "Be good."

Wei Lan felt better, her depression was gone, and she seemed to be alive again in an instant. Her peach blossom eyes widened, and she pushed Gu Chao's hand away, "You're so dirty, don't touch me!"

After saying that, he put all the hot water in the pot into the bucket. He held the handle of the bucket with his little arms and tried to lift the bucket off the stove.

The two little arms were trembling. Gu Chao was afraid that she would hit his feet and get burned when he turned around, so he quickly took the bucket and put it aside, "Is everything okay?"

Wei Lan was confused and didn't understand what Gu Chao was saying. The next second, the tall man suddenly came closer, squeezed her hand and gently opened it to check, and let out an impatient "tsk".

Wei Lan's head shook slightly and she looked blankly at his gaze. Her white palms were red, and his rough fingers were gently rubbing them.

He leaned over and blew lightly. Gu Chao kissed her palm again, raised his head and looked over with deep eyes, "Does it hurt?"

The man is tall and strong as a hill, his face is strong, resolute and handsome, and he is also extremely careful.

Wei Lan's cheeks turned pink, she pulled her hand away and turned around. She originally wanted to say it hurt, but now she suddenly felt embarrassed. She pursed her lips and muttered: "How can I be so delicate? I just lifted it..."

"Okay, don't be squeamish." Gu Chao picked up the bucket and walked out. When he reached the kitchen door, he turned around, looked at Wei Lan and said firmly: "I want you to be squeamish forever."

Gu Chao's words are tantamount to saying: Wei Lan can be squeamish, willful and ignorant, but he has everything.

 He will pamper her, love her and protect her.

 Any side of her can be shown in front of him, and he will also be her backing.

forever.

Wei Lan had just gathered the bowls and chopsticks and put them in the cupboard, when she heard these words and was stunned. At that moment, something seemed to hit her head.

By the time she turned around to look, Gu Chao had already returned to the room.

“I know how to tease people blindly.” Wei Lan pursed her lips, raised the corners of her mouth and chuckled. However, the smile did not last long. The corners of her mouth drooped, and her eyes suddenly turned red. “You silly guy.”

Wei Lan sniffed, wiped his eyes, simply cleaned up the kitchen, turned on the light and returned to the room.

In the afternoon, almost all the boxes were packed away. Only a rattan box full of broken bits and pieces was left on the bed. Wei Lan started to pack it and felt that she would go to bed immediately after packing it up.

 The red headband and hairpins in small transparent plastic bags were probably bought by Wei’s mother for Youlan.

There was an oil-paper package that looked like a brick. He picked it up and weighed it. It was also as heavy as a brick. Wei Lan pulled out the hemp rope and opened it to take a look. Inside, there was a large, dark mass with a faint scent of tea coming from it. It was a tea brick.

　　 It should be Wei Xueliang’s intention to give it to Grandma Gu.

Wei Lan tied it up again and put it aside. There was a cloth bag in the box. She took it out. There were jingling sounds inside. When she opened the seal, Wei Lan was stunned.

 It is medicine.

More than a dozen bottles of different sizes, each bottle has its own label: cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, antibiotics and other commonly used medicines, and the dosage is also thoughtfully noted.

Wei Lan was sitting on the edge of the bed holding a cloth bag, feeling indescribable.

  Western medicine is not easy to buy, and hospitals sell it in limited quantities. These bottles are not original.

  In other words, these medicines were purchased in many batches and accumulated bit by bit...

It was just a precaution for Wei Lan, fearing that if something happened to her in the countryside, she would be blinded if she couldn't buy two.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

"Here we come!" Just as he was sighing, there was a knock on the door. Wei Lan quickly stood up and opened the door, "Brother Chao?"

Gu Chao, wearing a thin shirt and dripping hair, stood at the door. When he saw the door opened, he stretched his long legs to enter the house.

Wei Lan reached the door and stared at him through the crack of the door, "What are you doing!"

Recalling what Gu Chaotian said in his mind, Wei Lan blushed and cursed: "Go back to your room and sleep!"

Gu Chao rubbed his hair and stood at the door, "I washed it clean and there is no smell on me."

Wei Lan:…

“Who told you this?” Wei Lan glared at Gu Chao and pushed the door to unlock it.

 Gu Chao moved quickly and stuck it between the cracks in the door, "Nanny."

Wei Lan was afraid of pinching him, so she had to open the door further. Gu Chao took the opportunity to step in with one leg, and then everyone entered the room.

The clothes were thrown on the bed. Gu Chao quickly lowered the door latch, picked up Wei Lan and said, "I'll warm your bed."

Wei Lan snorted squeamishly: "I don't want you to warm the bed!"

 The weather is getting warmer, and the bed has not been so cold in the past two days.

"Then you stay with me." Gu Chao lowered his voice and smiled, holding Wei Lan and sitting on the bed, his chin touching her neck and rubbing her neck gently, "I'm afraid of the dark and don't dare to sleep alone."

Wei Lan:?

"Who did you learn this glib accent from?" Wei Lan sat on Gu Chao's lap, twisting unconvinced.

 A person who used to be very reserved has now become glib.

"Nanny, don't make trouble." Gu Chao breathed heavily and hugged her waist tightly, "I'm just staying here for a while, I won't leave, okay?"

In the capital, with Wei's mother and Wei Xueliang watching, Gu Chao did not dare to get too close to Wei Lan.
