I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 385 The bustling Gu family

Jiang Lihua was so ashamed that she said harshly: "I, I can use it when I knit it for myself later, can't I?"

 “We’ll talk about it then. Finish the knitting on your hands first.”

Wei Lan politely declined, and Jiang Lihua suddenly wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Gu Chao's eyes turned around, first staying on Wei Lan for a moment, and then looking at the stove. Seeing that the fire was no longer visible, he got up and went to the kitchen basket to grab two handfuls of fine chopped firewood.

 The fire in the stove was turned up even more, and the whole room was warm. The boys and girls chatted with each other from time to time. This night, the Gu family was particularly lively.

Grandma Gu was very happy. Hot water was boiling on the small stove. She kept asking everyone if they wanted more water, and asked everyone to treat this as her own home.

 Jiang Lihua's temperament made Jiang Lihua feel embarrassed, "Grandma, we can do it ourselves. You are an elder, how can you entertain us?"

"Okay, okay, then you can do it yourself." Grandma Gu smiled and narrowed her eyes. She was also afraid that these young people would feel too polite and uncomfortable, so she said no more.

The atmosphere in the room was just right. At this moment, there was a sudden call from the courtyard door outside.

Gu Chao listened for a while, opened the door and walked out. A moment later, he came in with the captain Gu Sande.

Gu Sande came from home. It was snowing lightly and windy outside. Not to mention how cold it was. When he called the door just now, he had to wait for a while and he almost froze.

As soon as he entered the room, the heat hit his face, and Gu Sande felt that his whole body came to life. However, the next moment, when he saw a group of people in the room, Gu Sande was stunned, "This, this is it?"

 “Captain…”

Jiang Lihua and others were suddenly startled, and subconsciously wanted to hide the things in their hands. Wei Lan shook his head gently, and they gradually relaxed.

“They learned to knit sweaters from Wei Lan.” Gu Chao explained lightly.

 Gu Chao said in the morning that Gu Sande could come over to look at the cloth in the evening. Now that the person came, it was clear why.

Gu Chaochong nodded to Gu Sande and said, "Go to my room."

Gu Sande nodded awkwardly at Wei Lan and the others, "You are busy with your business."

When Gu Sande and Gu Chao went to the back room, Jiang Lihua pressed her beating heart and said, "I'm scared to death. Why did the captain come?"

“You should come to Gu Chao if you have something to do.” Wei Lan said with a smile, without saying anything clearly.

The Gu family is a bit too eye-catching now, with cashmere threads and TV sets. She is still a little unsure whether there are people with different intentions in the educated youth spot. Just in case, it is better to keep a low profile.

On the other side, after Gu Sande and Gu Chao entered the room, their eyes nearly popped out when they saw the cloth on the bed.

"This, so much!" Gu Sande picked up a piece of cloth and touched it. It was thick and soft, and the colors were military green and navy blue, all of which were fashionable and durable.

 “This is good stuff, Brother Chao!”

Gu Sande's hand holding the cloth trembled slightly. After a moment, he thought of something and looked at Gu Chao and said seriously, "You bought a lot this time, but you have to hide it well. If someone sees the clue..."

Gu Sande wanted to say that he was afraid of being reported by someone who wanted to do it, and he wouldn't be able to protect Gu Chao if he turned around.

 But when he thought that Gu Chao was going to make a living, and he hadn't even started yet, it was really unlucky for him to say these depressing words.

Gu Chao said calmly: "Don't worry, uncle, I have considered all these things."

Gu Sande nodded, stopped talking, and began to choose cloth seriously.

 Army green and navy blue both look good to him, but he still can’t make a decision.

How about... How about buying some of them all? But the cloth tickets were not enough.

Gu Sande thought that the mother-in-law of the family had not made new clothes all year round. He immediately gritted his teeth and gave up, "Brother Chao, I have some money in my hand, but not enough cloth tickets... Look, look, can I pull out a few feet of cloth first?" , I’ll save some cloth tickets later and send them to you?”

Gu Chao was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had forgotten to explain.

He was embarrassed and rubbed a handful of his hair that had been blown into a hedgehog, and explained helplessly: "Uncle, I forgot to tell you, this cloth does not require a coupon, it costs 40 cents per foot, and the pink one with flowers costs 50 cents."

Gu Sande waved his hands repeatedly, "Your aunt is old and the cloth is too young for her to wear."

Gu Sande felt relieved knowing that he did not need cloth tickets. He reached into his pocket and took out a roll of crumpled woolen tickets, and carefully counted exactly four yuan.

 Can buy ten feet of cloth.

Gu Sande held the four dollars for a while before handing it to Gu Chao, rubbed his old face, and said with a smile: "Then, cut these two pieces of cloth to five feet each for me."

 He pointed at the army green and navy blue cloth.

Gu Chao nodded in agreement. He took a ruler from Grandma Gu early in the morning and compared the sizes. While Gu Sande was looking at other fabrics, he quietly widened the fabrics of both colors by half a foot.

Gu Sande folded the cloth.

Thinking that there were educated youths outside, he stuffed the cloth into his arms and hid it before walking out. As he left, he lowered his voice and said, "Close the door quickly, so that no one can see it."

It was almost nine o'clock now. Gu Sande was about to go back after buying the cloth. When he saw Grandma Gu still sitting in the main room, he casually asked her, "Madam, you haven't gone to bed yet? It's so late, it's cold!"

“It’s rare for the house to be lively, so I sat there for a while. The dynasty has changed, and now I’m unfortunately calling my wife.” Grandma Gu stood and patted her side, “Would you like to sit down and watch some TV?”

Gu Sande lightly slapped his mouth and said that he had said the wrong thing. Then he heard Grandma Gu talking about TV, and then he noticed the long table against the wall opposite. I don't know when there was a TV set.

When Gu Sande went to the commune for a meeting, he heard people talk about TV, but he had never seen it. Now that he saw it, he unconsciously took a second look.

At first, it was because of the big iron bump-like appearance of the TV, and then it was because of the black and white TV series being broadcast on the TV: The Young Boys.

The War Boys is an anti-war film. It tells the story of an 8th Route Army guerrilla team that, after cooperating with the main force to achieve a major victory, went to Xiaojiazhuang, the base area. On the way, they passed through a forest and discovered the young protagonist Xiaosong who had a gunshot wound to his leg. , and later Xiaosong participated in the revolution and became an inspirational story of an outstanding soldier.

At the moment, the broadcast was showing the No. 8 team holding guns and fighting the enemy with wits and courage. Gu Sande stood and watched for a while.

After looking at it, he sat down on the bench handed to him by Gu Chao.

Then, Gu Sande unknowingly held the boiled water poured by Grandma Gu.

 …

Wei Lan finished knitting the sweater in her hand and yawned.

Just as an episode of the TV series was finished, Lin Qing saw that Wei Lan was sleepy, so she asked to resign, "It's getting late, why don't we come here today? I basically understand it. If I don't understand something, I'll ask you later."

 “Hmm…hmm.” Wei Lan nodded lightly.

Others also realized that it was getting late, and stood up one after another, "It's already so late? Is it disturbing your rest?"

 The educated youths looked modest and embarrassed to say.

Grandma Gu smiled with a look of annoyance on her face: "What are you talking about? How lively is the house when you are here? Grandma is very happy about this!"
