I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 170 Night Vigil

Jiang Lihua is tall and thin, with a baby face that has slimmed down to a pointed chin due to work. Her almond-shaped eyes are round and her eyelids are wide and deep. Although she is a little tanned, she is still very smart and beautiful.

At this time, she was standing on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard, looking down at Li Jiandang, as if he was the only one in her eyes.

For some reason, Li Jiandang only felt his chest beating hard twice.

Li Jiandang couldn't explain what it felt like, and he didn't intend to delve into it. He took the bowl to cover up his gaffe, and said, "You, you should eat it while it's hot. The snake meat will become fishy when it gets cold."

 After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

It was already getting dark in the heat of the day, and the figures quickly blended into the night and disappeared.

Jiang Lihua stood at the door and stood on tiptoe, looking again and again to make sure that the person was gone before entering the house.

 “Silly boy, you are so honest...”

   *

“Today we have the first night watch, do you want to go early?”

 On the other side, at the Gu family’s dining table.

Dinner was rarely sumptuous. In addition to the bowl of snake meat soup brought by Li Jiandang, there was also a generous plate of fried pork with chili.

This meat was bought by Gu Chao in the town in the morning. For such a plate, plus the ones sent to Gu Yang's house, he estimated that he had spent two or three months' worth of meat.

According to the grandmother who took care of her, snake meat has less meat and more bones, but the soup is very sweet and has the effect of strengthening bones and prolonging life. Wei Lan held it in, but still didn't have the courage, so the whole bowl went to Gu Chao. In the belly.

Wei Lan held her chin up and looked at the rolled Adam's apple. She swallowed twice unconsciously and asked, "How is it? Does it taste good?"

 Her cautious and nervous look made Grandma Gu laugh.

"He ate too much snake meat soup." Grandma Gu laughed "haha" twice and gave Wei Lan a chopstick of meat. "Black snake meat is more nourishing than chicken and duck. When I was young, my brother Chao had weak bones and the family was busy. , many arrests were made.”

 Speaking of Gu Chao's childhood, Grandma Gu could not help but think of the time when the whole family was still together.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly subsided, and Wei Lan changed the subject: "It's our first night vigil today, should we go a little earlier?" Gu Chao shook his head: "No, I'll take the raincloth over and fix it later. When it's done, I'll do it again." Come back to pick you up."

In the past years, when Gu Chao and Gu Yang were keeping vigil, the two young men could just stay overnight on the ridge of the field, but now that they had Wei Lan with them, it was different.

Gu Chao was going to build a shed first and come out.

After dinner, Gu Chao went to the wheat field first with a kerosene lamp. Grandma Gu felt uncomfortable thinking about the past, so she went to bed early.

You Lan waited at home with Wei Lan.

　　With nothing else at hand, Wei Lan likes to guess, and when she does, she turns her attention to the sieve that Grandma Gu has been drying broad beans on for the past two days.

Wei Lan pinched a handful of broad beans and played with them. You Lan cast a curious look: "What's wrong, Sister Lan?"

Wei Lan pursed her lips and smiled, "Come on, help me light the fire."

Wei Lan filled half a scoop of broad beans with a gourd scoop. These broad beans had been sun-dried for several days and now contained very little moisture. She asked You Lan to keep the fire in the stove low. After the pot was hot, Wei Lan poured the broad beans into the pot and stir-fried them evenly with a spatula.

The entire brigade was shrouded in darkness. In the darkness, the sound of broad beans being scooped up and dropped into the pot was very abrupt.

Wei Lan suddenly heard someone calling her. Guo couldn't leave her for the time being, so she asked You Lan to go out and take a look.

 “Wei Lan!”

Soon, a female voice came from behind.

Wei Lan took the time to take a look and saw that it was You Lan who led Lin Qing and Fan Zhui in.

"Gu Chao went to clean up the wheat field. He said he would take a nap at night and feel more comfortable then." Wei Lan pursed her lips and looked at Fan Zhuo, "How about you go too? Let Lin Qing stay here with me."

I estimate it will be on the shelves next week, so it’s almost there. You guys are anxious to see the latest updates, and I’m even more anxious than you are!
