I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 419: A good soldier

"How much cloth tickets and money will it cost for such a large roll of cloth?" Wei's mother held the piece of cloth, frowning with worry and distress on her face, "Look, there is no one in charge of the family, so I don't know how to save money. Money? What can’t be bought here in Beijing? What do you think he is buying these for?”

It can be seen that it is not without reason that Wei Mu is partial to Yanyi.

only…

Wei Lan looked at the bunch of military green cloth speechlessly, and it felt familiar to him.

  Turning around, he dug around on the coffee table for a long time and pulled out the same roll of military green cloth from the bottom.

 It was exactly what she thought.

 “You bought it too?”

“It wasn’t me, Brother Chao bought it.”

Mother Wei paused for a while, then took the cloth from Wei Lan and looked at it carefully. Finally, she smiled and looked up: "What a coincidence, these two people bought the same cloth."

Wei Lan raised her thin eyebrows and twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking: This is not a matter of coincidence. I am afraid that the cloth Yanyi sent was the same batch that Gu Chao brought back from the sea market.

"How many feet are there for such cloth? It will cost a lot of money, right?"

Wei Lan shook his head wildly, turned around and counted the things on the coffee table, and urged: "Mom, don't worry about how much it costs, just lighten the things first. If you can use it, put it out and use it. If you don't need it, put it away. I'm almost starving to death..."

“Then you go and eat. Just let these mothers come, and don’t worry about it!”

Wei Lan originally just wanted to divert Wei Lan's attention, but Wei Lan's mother focused all her attention on Wei Lan's words "I'm starving to death" and drove Wei Lan directly to the kitchen.

Wei Lan puffed out his cheeks and accepted his fate and served breakfast.

The Yuanxiao cooked by Wei's mother for breakfast was rising and falling one by one in the courtyard. They were white, tender and cute. Wei Lan sat down at the table with the bowl in hand, scooped up a small piece with a spoon and took a bite.

 At the same time, a stream of black juice flowed out.

Having a little bit on her lips, Wei Lan licked it unconsciously. It was filled with sweet sesame seeds. "It's so delicious."

"I grabbed some sesame seeds this year and asked your dad to grind them into powder." Mother Wei's cheerful voice came, "You don't know that your dad is a person who keeps whining while grinding sesame seeds." After passing it, it was sifted into Yuanxiao, and I didn’t see him eating less.”

Wei Lan puffed out her cheeks and chewed Yuanxiao, "Mom, why don't you call me Dad and let them eat together?"

 She fell asleep yesterday and didn't know that they got back in time.

"I came back late last night and I'm probably very tired. Let them wait a little longer. It's not too late to do it when they get up."

Wei Lan nodded slightly, thinking so.

Just as he was about to say something, Wei's mother suddenly shouted in shock: "Oh, my dear!"

 “What’s wrong?” Wei Lan’s hands were shaking, and the Yuan Xiao in the spoon almost fell to the table.

Mother Wei turned around with big eyes, holding a big bag, "Hong, this is brown sugar!"

Wei Lan blinked, not knowing why.

Gu Chao bought five kilograms of brown sugar.

 I couldn’t understand how excited Wei’s mother was when she went shopping in a department store with her money tickets, and was so crowded that she didn’t even grab half a kilogram of brown sugar, her hair was all messed up.

Not only that, but two bottles of Jingkou Daqu liquor, which cost more than ten yuan a bottle, were placed outside. Mother Wei was beating her head and continued counting.

 When all the things are sorted out, put them together for food and use, and distinguish the types.

Mother Wei squatted beside the coffee table, staring at things speechless.

“Is that boy named Gu really a rich farmer?”

You can get a lot of money for these things. Thinking of Gu Chao's elegant clothes, Wei's mother became suspicious, "He is really not the son of any chief's family. Are you making fun of me and your father, deliberately calling him a rich farmer?"

Wei Lan:…

 “Mom, what are you thinking about?”

Mother Wei frowned, stood up and sat on the sofa, her back straight and her face serious. She pointed at the things and said, "Then tell me, how do these things come from? Where do they come from?"

"Where...these things? Where do they come from?" Wei Lan paused suddenly, and Ostrich lowered his head to stir the rice dumplings in the bowl. "Where...where do they come from? These things are..."

 “Shufen! Shufen…”

 “What’s going on? What’s going on?”

Wei Lan was just thinking about how to smooth things over when Wei Xueliang's call came from the other side of the room. Wei's mother got up with a frown, walked past Wei Lan and patted her on the shoulder, "The pot is all yours, there's not enough in the cabinet." Yes. Let me go and see what your dad is doing."

 “Ah...well, okay.”

Wei's mother muttered and left. Wei Lan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, scooped up a Yuanxiao and bit it into his mouth.

His father had to speak up in time, otherwise her mother would be blown up if she heard that Gu Chao bought these with money from reselling gold.

 But this matter...

  It is indeed a problem.

Wei's mother didn't ask anything from Wei Lan, so she appointed Gu Chao to be arrested afterwards.

Wei Lan frowned and stirred the rice dumplings in the bowl vigorously with the spoon, making a "ding-dong-dang" sound.

“Why is that bowl so hard for you? Knock, knock, knock!”

Wei Xueliang's scolding voice came from the room. Wei Lan was startled and quickly stopped. After finishing the Lantern Festival, he washed the bowls and went to put away the things on the coffee table.

On the other side of the room, Wei Xueliang was sitting on the edge of the bed, shirtless and with his back bent. His back shoulder was bruised and swollen, and the skin on it had small wounds scratched by stones.

Mother Wei poured some safflower oil onto Wei Xueliang's shoulders, rubbed Wei Xueliang's shoulders vigorously, "Girl, it's not easy for you to come back. You can't stay at home for two days. Can't you control your temper?"

Wei Xueliang groaned angrily and turned around, "There must be a limit to how much you love her. I see that when I come back this time, she has changed a lot and is getting more and more wild... If you don't care about her anymore, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to return to the city to visit relatives next time." Ken is back.”

Thinking about how Wei Lan gave Gu Chao slippers last night but didn't give them to him, Wei Xueliang couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "Little white-eyed wolf."

The girl is unwilling to stay at home when she is wild. If she is strictly disciplined and arouses rebelliousness, won't she be even more unwilling to stay at home?

I remembered that last year because of going to the countryside, there was a lot of fuss at home in those days, and the girl had such a big bump on her head...

Wei’s mother didn’t want to experience it a second time.

Mother Wei was lost in memories and her hands slowed down. Wei Xueliang urged, "Knead it, rub it, oh...it hurts so much, that brat..."

 He sat there twisting and turning, without any of the majesty he had in the school grounds last night. Wei's mother raised her eyebrows and slapped Wei Xueliang on the back of his shoulder. "There was a popping sound, and Wei Xueliang almost jumped up in pain.

"Comrade Xu Shufen, let me warn you! You are beating an officer. If it weren't for the fact that I am your man and you are my wife, you should be dragged out and fed with guns!"

 “You still want to feed me a gun? You have the patience!”

Wei's mother was angry and pinched Wei Xueliang's waist a few times, "I said I was going to test the boy named Gu, but I ended up being so embarrassed. How can you be embarrassed?"

 “Ouch, ouch…don’t pinch, don’t pinch!”

As expected, Wei's mother stopped pinching her. She turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, bursting into tears, "You also said that Lan Lan would never go home again! If you hadn't been so old-fashioned, how could Lan Lan have gone so far away? ? Now why do I need to worry about her not being able to go home in the future? "

Wei Xueliang was still about to say something, but when he saw Wei's mother crying, he touched the back of his head and felt at a loss, "Then... what should we do now? Things have already come to this point..."

Wei's mother cried harder, and Wei Xueliang's forehead was sweating anxiously, "Don't cry, don't cry first! My dear girl and the boy named Gu are both here. What did you say when you look back?"

"I'll try to find a way to bring them back and put them under your nose. Is that okay? That's okay!"

Mother Wei shed tears as soon as she said so. She raised her head and looked at Wei Xueliang, "Shall we be transferred back?"

Wei Lan is a member of the Wei family, so it won't be a big problem to transfer him back if we can get some connections.

But Gu Chao is from H Province, and he is still of that kind. Not to mention how difficult it is to handle, even if he is really good at it, he has an old and a young family, so he can still ignore it?

Wei Xueliang sat on the edge of the bed, with his hands on his knees and a serious look on his face. He thought carefully for a while, "That boy is quite energetic. Last night he first knocked down the squad leader of the artillery company, then another artilleryman, and finally he confronted me. superior…"

"Perhaps he is a good young man." Wei Xueliang turned to look at Wei's mother, "What do you think about getting him a job in the army? Is it possible?"

 Bingdanzi has been in the army for a long time, and he actively cooperates to prevent transfers. After a long time, he has gained seniority and can become a party member.

if…

Gu Chao can live up to expectations, even if he can't, it's okay. When the time comes to join the party, his status won't be a big problem.

Wei's mother thought it was feasible, but after a moment's thought, she felt it was wrong. She glared at Wei Xueliang with a cold face, "Why do I smell a hint of appreciation in your tone?"

"Old Wei, you are not a human being! In just one night, you were attacked by that boy named Gu?"

Wei Xueliang coughed in embarrassment, "What you said...how could you say that? Oh, by the way, I have one more thing to discuss with you!"

The situation was not right. Wei Xueliang immediately changed the subject, "I met Lao Song yesterday. He told me about Song Qi and A Lin. I told him that we would come to visit after the Lantern Festival. What do you think..."

 Wei Lan did not know the content of the conversation between Wei's mother and Wei Xueliang in the room.

Wei Lan put the things away and put the fabrics in the cabinet. Food items such as scallops, dried fish, and fish **** were put in the kitchen to wait for Wei's mother to deal with them to see if they were eaten or what happened. .

After finishing these tasks, Wei Lan washed her hands, shook the water drops on her hands, stretched her neck and looked at the room of Wei Xueliang and Wei Mu, guessing whether the two were discussing something important and whether they would come out soon.

Wei Lan went upstairs quietly.

There are three rooms downstairs. The two large rooms are occupied by Wei Lan and Wei Xueliang. The other small room is used as a small warehouse where some sundries are usually placed.

 The layout of the upstairs is similar to that of the downstairs. There is one room for Wei Lin, one for the guest room, and a small one for the bathroom.

Stepping lightly to the door of the guest room, Wei Lan stretched her neck to look at the door of Wei Lin's room like a thief. She didn't hear any movement, so she tried to turn the door handle of the guest room.

 The door opened with a click. Gu Chao opened his eyes dimly on the bed in the room. The next second he realized it, he thought it was Wei Xueliang who had arrived, and he sat up suddenly.

Wei Lan entered the room and locked the door behind her back. She blinked and said "Shhh" and ran over to sit by the bed.

 The old wooden bed "squeaked" under the weight of two people.

 “囡囡…”

“Did I bother you?” Wei Lan pursed her lips, smiling brightly and energetically, “You were late last night?”

"No." Gu Chao didn't know what the Wei family told Wei Lan about last night, so he didn't mention it, "It's a bit embarrassing."

"Uncle, are they all up?" Gu Chao lifted the quilt and made a gesture to get up. Wei Lan leaned forward and put her arms around Gu Chao's neck, hanging crookedly on him.

"My dad and the others have something to discuss and are busy. You go back to sleep." Glancing at the faint bruises under Gu Chao's eyes, Wei Lan blinked his peach blossom eyes and pressed down with the force of his body, pushing Gu Chao back to the bed, "I Stay with you."

Gu Chao circled Wei Lan's waist and lifted her up, letting her lie on his chest, "Nanny, don't make trouble."

"I'm not making a fuss." Wei Lan's little face drooped in displeasure. Seeing Gu Chao's deep eyes staring at her, she couldn't hold back anymore, "I'm serious, my brother didn't even get up! I heard him just now My dad’s voice didn’t even look at him.”

"We can sleep for at least another hour and a half." Wei Lan glanced at her watch. It was just nine o'clock now.

"Well, let's just sleep for a while." Perhaps Wei Lan's tone was determined, but Gu Chao softened his tone, pulled the quilt and covered the two of them tightly.

Wei Lan raised her head and wanted to lie down on one side, but found that the big hands around her waist were tightly wrapped around her and she couldn't move away at all. Her chin tightened and she looked up at Gu Chao, "What are you doing? It's so heavy, how can you sleep?"

 “It’s not heavy, and the next two won’t be heavy either for you.”

“You’re glib!” Wei Lan glared at Gu Chao angrily, turned her head and put her ears against Gu Chao’s chest, lying on her stomach, where Gu Chao couldn’t see her, her pink lips raised slightly in pleasure.

 “Get up, I’ll take you around the capital.”

"good."

“There are many small alleys over Guxiang. Some people sell candied haws, and others sell stewed vegetables...I...I want to take you to try it together..."

The little girl’s voice was high and low, hazy, which was a sign of sleepiness.

Gu Chao's sharp eyebrows softened, his big hands patted her back as if coaxing a child, his voice was gentle and low, "Okay."

Around eleven o'clock, the three people upstairs came downstairs one after another. As soon as they arrived and stood downstairs, Wei Xueliang just opened the door, buttoned it and came out.

Wei Lan was originally walking side by side with Gu Chao from behind. When she saw that the door of Wei Xueliang's room was open, she quickly stepped forward, took Wei Lin's arm, and smiled at Wei Xueliang: "Hey, dad!"

Wei Xueliang was like a human spirit, especially recently he was very sensitive about his children's marriage. He saw Wei Lan's little trick at a glance, and immediately walked to the living room with a cold voice, muttering in a low voice, "We haven't been together for a few hours." , Why are you so tired?"

These words just happened to fall in the ears of Wei Mu who was serving dishes from the kitchen.

 You have the nerve to tell others?

 I think back when she was still in the art troupe, she didn’t know any stupid guy who squatted outside the door every day.

With a feeling of contempt in her heart, Mother Wei put the plate on the table and greeted with a smile, "Sit down! Sit down, the food is ready, let's start eating now."

After everyone sat down, Mother Wei said again, "Lan Lan, come here and help mom."
