I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 234 Just like the first time we met

The small oven had been beaten and dried in the shade before. This was the first time to turn on the fire. Gu Chao was afraid that the oven would not be successful, so he was very careful when lighting the fire.

 When Wei Lan finished making more than 20 small noodles, he removed the charcoal fire from the oven one by one. He was relieved when he saw that there were no cracks on the surface of the oven.

Gu Chao found a basket and put a clean towel on it. When Wei Lan put the small noodles into the basket, he carefully stuffed the basket into the oven, then took a wooden pot lid that was smaller than the kitchen pot lid and buckled it. In the sloping oven mouth.

After finishing this work, the two of them wiped the sweat from their foreheads. One sat on the stone pillar, and the other huddled in the rocking chair and lazily swayed his calves to wait.

Gu Chao was not as lazy as Wei Lan. He sat on the stone pillar and rested for a while, then got up and approached the window of Wei Lan's room.

Gu Chao reached out a hand through the gap between the window and the coffin and took out the Chinese textbook with several pieces of letter paper on the table.

The textbooks mostly contain poems by great people or songs praising the motherland. Wei Lan divides them carefully, and some lyrical passages are divided into circles.

In some places, Wei Lan wrote the first half of the sentence on the paper and asked Gu Chao to write the second half silently.

 Compared with mathematics, which requires applying various formulas, Chinese language is much simpler for Gu Chao.

 What’s so hard about memorizing things by rote?

“The scenery of the North Country is covered with thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing but vastness; the rivers up and down suddenly lose their torrents. Silver snakes dance in the mountains..."

Gu Chao was reading the contents of the textbook in a low voice. Wei Lan was half-lying on the rocking chair, holding her chin in her hands and staring at Gu Chao intently.

Having to be busy raising a family, doing the work in the brigade, and taking time to study.

Wei Lan sighed softly and murmured in a low voice: "You must be very tired."

"Don't think too much." Gu Chao's eyes moved back and forth along with the text in the textbook, "These are nothing."

As long as he thinks about his future situation, Gu Chao is full of energy. Not to mention whether he is tired now, even if he is given two more jobs, he can still persevere.

Wei Lan felt melancholy in her heart, but she had a bright smile on her face. She said with a smile: "Now is the new society. I am not a woman in the old days. We are equal. So, in the future, you can't just think about one person taking everything. This is not good for me." fair."

The two chatted openly all afternoon until the goat's milk rolls came out of the oven. Wei Lan packed a few goat's milk rolls in cloth bags and poured the remaining boiled goat's milk into an enamel jar and gave it to Gu Chao, asking him to Send it to Gu Yang's house.

After Gu Chao left, she picked out a few more goat's milk rolls and hung them in a hanging basket on the beam of the kitchen. The rest were placed in a basket to wait for them to cool down, and then put into a cloth bag to be taken away tomorrow. Try your luck on the black market in town.

Early the next morning, Wei Lan was packing up and had just put everything in the bamboo basket when the sound of a bicycle parked came from the yard.

Wei Lan raised her head and looked around, and saw Gu Chao striding from the courtyard.

“Did the captain say anything?” Wei Lan asked.

It was six or seven miles to the town. I originally said we would walk, but Gu Chao disagreed and knocked on the door of the brigade leader's house early in the morning, saying that he wanted to borrow a bicycle.

"No." Gu Chao picked up the bamboo basket on the ground and looked at Wei Lan calmly for a while.

Today she is wearing a moon-white buttoned gown, an ice blue skirt, white ruffled socks and a pair of black round-toe shoes. Her hair is combed into a six-strand braid on the back of her head. She is exquisite and beautiful. , just like when we first met him when he came to the countryside.
