I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 244 Preparations for winter

Gu Chao sighed in amusement, Wei Lan winked at him, then stretched out her little hand and waved it outward, signaling to Gu Chao that he could go at ease and that she would watch at home.

After Gu Chao left, Wei Lan opened the courtyard door, ran to Grandma Gu and sat down next to her.

Putting her chin on her small white hand, Wei Lan watched her grandma skillfully sew the shoe uppers, "Grandma, I have enough shoes to wear, and I also sent a letter home. Give this to Youlan!"

A few days ago, Wei Lan asked Gu Chao to send a letter to the capital city, asking his family to send some winter clothes. He also mentioned his childhood clothes. If he could find them, he would also pick some good ones and send them over.

  Just right for Youlan.

Grandma Gu smiled, her face full of kindness, "What you send from home is what you send from home, and what grandma makes is what grandma makes. How can it be the same?"

Wei Lan pursed her lips and swallowed the words.

There was a sudden knock on the courtyard door. Wei Lan stood up and went to open the door, only to see the female director standing outside the door.

Wei Lan hurriedly stepped aside and asked the female director to come into the room, "Why is the director here? What's the matter?"

Seeing Grandma Gu sitting in the courtyard, the women's director didn't enter the room, so she laughed loudly at the door and said, "What's the big deal? My wife went out for a meeting with the team leader. I guess she won't be able to come back tonight. I'm wondering if I can I can’t ask Brother Chao to help me. I’ll go to the rice field to keep vigil for my family tonight.”

The wheat in the fields has been harvested, and most of it has been threshed and put into the granary. Only a small part is still piled on the rice field. In the past two days, the commune members have been busy threshing one after another.

Similar to the previous vigil in the wheat field, I was still afraid of being stolen.

Gu Chao is going to another mountain tonight and won’t be home at all.

Wei Lan thought about it carefully and was about to speak when Grandma Gu took the lead and said: "You said it was a big deal. Don't worry, Brother Chao will definitely take good care of it."

 The female director thanked her again and again and finally left.

Wei Lan closed the courtyard door, looked at Grandma Gu and said, "Grandma, do you want Brother Yang to go?"

Grandma Gu nodded: "Just say you are a ghost."

If you refuse, it is very likely that the fact that Gu Chao is not at home will be exposed. If you meet someone who is interested, it may cause trouble. Rather than doing this, it is better to respond generously.

 Wei Lan and Grandma Gu went to find a place to talk to.

Wei Lan pursed her pink lips slightly and revealed a sly smile, "That night I will go to Brother Yang's house to take care of Fang Xia. You Lan can come with me, okay?"

"Okay, why not?" Grandma Gu smiled kindly, bent down and made two gestures with Wei Lan's shoes, and then waved her hand and said: "Read a book in the house, young man, studies are the most important thing."

 Wei Lan: ...Okay.

 In a blink of an eye, the weather has entered November, the temperature has gradually dropped, and the temperature is variable. Every morning when you open the door, you can clearly see the frost crystals condensed on the bamboo leaves.

Wei Lan pushed open the window and leaned lazily by the window, yawning, with quilt marks on her face.

There was a pile of dry bamboo in the backyard. Gu Chaozheng used a hatchet to chop the bamboo into small sections, and then split the small bamboo tubes into several finger-thick bamboo sticks.

At first, he was still confused, but when he saw a small stove placed by the well and the copper pot being washed in Grandma Gu's hand, Wei Lan understood instantly.

 I heard Gu Chao mentioned before that the winter in the south is humid and cold, and the temperature in the house is low, so the stove is always used to warm hot water. It is convenient when you need to drink water, and the stove can also warm the house at the same time.

“You started making preparations so early?” Wei Lan squeezed out the toothpaste and squatted next to Grandma Gu. She didn’t brush twice before reaching out to touch the trapezoidal copper pot.
