I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 428 Flying Dragon

Wei Lan excitedly brought the seeds to Grandma Gu, "Grandma, can you plant this too? Brother Chao likes it!"

Grandma Gu opened the paper bag and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Hey, it's coriander! But I haven't seen it in some years."

Wei Lan sat on the side with her knees in her arms and casually chatted with Grandma Gu, "Do you know Grandma Gu?"

"What don't you know about this?" Aunt Gu laughed, with deep wrinkles on her face, "The coriander tastes pungent, warm, and fragrant. It connects the heart and spleen internally, and extends to the limbs externally. I was young at that time, and my father-in-law always simmered Feilong broth. , always sprinkle a handful when serving it out, it’s fragrant and nourishing.”

"Flying dragon meat?" In an instant, Wei Lan seemed to transform into a three-year-old ignorant child. She moved her buttocks and lay in front of Grandma Gu's knees, "What is flying dragon meat?"

Grandma Gu thought about it and explained: "It's the tree hazel chicken. We can't see it here. We have to go to the deep mountains in the north to see it."

Grandma Gu is old and can’t remember many things clearly. She only vaguely remembers Aweng’s instructions at that time, saying it was a reward from a noble person.

Feilong is priceless, delicious and nutritious. It is a rare good thing. Aweng asked her to eat more.

Yesterday and today are different...that's all, it was all so long ago that we don't need to mention it.

Grandma Gu sighed slightly, and then smiled kindly, "Cilian can be used as medicine and as a seasoning. We used to grow it here, but then everyone couldn't eat enough, so they all planted food on their own land. This coriander , naturally no one will plant it.”

Grandma Gu spoke lightly. Even though she only had a few words, Wei Lan could still think of many things. Grandma Gu's life witnessed the decline of a large family from glory to glory.

 She should feel uncomfortable mentioning these past events, right?

Wei Lan frowned slightly, her eyebrows drooped, her expression wilting and self-reproaching.

Grandma Gu had lived a long time and could not fail to see Wei Lan's little thoughts, so she quickly changed the topic, "A few days ago, I was asking about seeds everywhere, but you were kind enough to bring me a pack like this... Couldn't you The roundworm in grandma’s belly? Can you feel everything?”

"It's not a roundworm, it's a little cotton-padded jacket!" Wei Lan laughed through tears, lying in front of Grandma Gu's knees and acting coquettishly, "Grandma will live a long life. When Brother Chao and I are admitted to college, we will definitely let Grandma eat Feilong again. Meat!"

　　"Okay, okay!" Grandma Gu was so happy that she couldn't help but smile. "Grandma will live a long life!"

 Grandma and grandson talked for a while, and Grandma Gu had already picked out the seeds and was ready to put them into the ground.

Wei Lan followed behind, "Grandma, do you want me to go to my brother?"

"I'm afraid that won't work." Grandma Gu smiled and said, "When you fell asleep, Brother Chao went to another mountain. I guess you will have to wait for a while before you come back."

　　"Bellow Mountain?" Wei Lan frowned, "I just went to bed?"

"No." Grandma Gu rummaged in the small shed in the backyard, took out an empty vegetable basket and found a pair of sharp beaks. "He just can't stay idle. The sun will be brighter in a few days, and the team will be busy with spring plowing. It will be difficult to walk away by then.”

 No wonder I haven’t seen anyone since I woke up just now.

 “Hmm…” Wei Lan pursed her lips and responded in a low voice.

 He thought: Where can I not stay idle? I am as busy as a top every day, and I am afraid I will take a break.

"Then I'll go with Grandma!" After taking the basket from Grandma Gu, Wei Lan trotted ahead, turned around at the end, smiling with crooked eyebrows, "It's good to come back with some vegetables!"

Grandma Gu hurriedly stretched out her hand to call her back, "There is no one to protect her from the wind, so those who put on more clothes should add more clothes."

Wei Lan quickly went back to the room and put on an egg-yellow waist-cinching jacket.

Her skin is fair, and wearing such a bright color makes her look even more white and tender.

　Grandma Gu was stunned for a moment when she saw it, then waved her hands and said with a smile, "Let's go!"

The fields were dotted with green. Wei Lan had a good eye, and when she was walking, she saw one or two scattered small yellow flowers, which were dandelions.

 Dandelion is rich in vitamins A, C and minerals. It can also clear away heat and detoxify. It is also simple to make. You can blanch it and eat it cold.

 There are only twos and threes in the field at the moment, too few.

Wei Lan thought for a while, then turned around and asked, "Grandma, is there anyone digging wild vegetables here?"

“Why not? In a few days, mugwort, purslane, and faucet will all appear. When the time comes, you won’t be able to win even if you try to grab them.”

 “Huh?” Wei Lan was stunned, and when he reacted, he frowned in disappointment.

Although I didn’t think about taking advantage of the opportunity to dig wild vegetables or anything, it is too exaggerated to not be able to grab anything!

When Grandma Gu looked at her little expression, there was nothing she didn't understand. "Don't worry about not being able to pick them. There are many kinds of wild vegetables. Some of them are still available in autumn. No matter how quick the members are, they are busy with spring plowing." I can’t spare any time.”

 At that time, if you still want to pick it, you can pick it wherever you go.

Wei Lan raised the corners of her mouth and nodded happily.

“I heard earlier that the boy from the Gu family came to Jingshi to know that Qing was in love. I still don’t believe it. How can I believe it is true?”

Some members who were busy working on their own land raised their heads when they heard the noise and saw Wei Lan and Grandma Gu on the field ridge. They looked at each other and whispered.

"Hey, you are ignorant, Gu Chao has gone to the big city to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he just came back today! I'm afraid that kid has set his sights on Wei Zhiqing from a long time ago."

Li Xu was busy cutting ditches in the vegetable field. When he heard the chatter of the men in the nearby fields, he paused for a moment, spit in the palm of his hand and rubbed it away, then picked up the shovel and continued working.

 What those people said is not unreasonable.

If Gu Chao was really simple-minded and upright, why did Wei Lan choose to live in their house?

How come you haven’t seen anyone hanging out since you moved in?

 This is probably not to guard against them.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. Li Xu let out a deep breath and couldn't cut the ditch anymore. He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the field bank, pursed his lips, picked up the shovel and headed there.

 “Li Xu, Li Xu!”

"ah?"

As soon as Li Xu took a few steps out, someone called out from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Li Jiandang.

 “What’s going on?”

Li Jiandang stood at the head of the field waving and shouting at the top of his lungs, "The captain calls for a meeting. When you go, please give me a shout. I'll go call someone else!"

After Li Jiandang finished speaking, he shouted to Grandma Gu, "Grandma Gu, where are the people from Chao Gu? The captain is meeting with someone else!"

Looking nostalgically at the girl running and jumping in the Gu family's private plot, Li Xu knitted his brows and turned around to walk in the direction of the brigade.

Gu Chao went to other mountains, this cannot be said for sure.

 Grandma Gu told Li Jiandang that Gu Chao had gone to the town to deliver eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The commune members all have three chickens at home and are reluctant to eat the eggs, so they save them every ten days and a half. Just send it to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for some money, or to supply sewing and cloth for household use.

Li Jiandang’s mother-in-law Zhang Hongmei is like this, so she has no doubts.

Since Gu Chaoren is not here, he cannot go to the town to retrieve him at this time, so he can only write it down and report it to the captain later. Having made up his mind, Li Jiandang hurriedly went to the back mountain area to call for people.

Grandma Gu squinted her eyes as she watched Li Jiandang walk away, "It's not a big deal to mobilize troops... Brother Chao doesn't know when he will be back, so don't delay him."

 The small rapeseed grown in the private plot has tender white stalks and dark green leaves, and the green growth is gratifying.

 After the frost and snow, the rapeseed tastes sweeter, and Wei Lan likes to eat it.

She explained while pinching the vegetable leaves, "Didn't the captain say years ago that young and strong laborers should be selected for the sunflower field? Construction will start soon, and I'm afraid this will be the reason for this meeting."

Seeing that the worried expression on Granny Gu’s face was not diminishing, Wei Lan kept saying: “Grandma, no matter what the final outcome of the discussion is, the captain will definitely tell Brother Chao, so just relax!”

She had already pinched a large handful of vegetable leaves, which was enough for tonight's meal. Wei Lan stopped and took the sharp-nosed **** from the basket and started working.

The Gu family's private land is about the size of a palm. Grandma Gu divided it into several pieces and planted some miscellaneous ones.

The radishes were planted in autumn last year. They were only a small piece, and one was eaten smaller. Now there are only two old radishes with flowery centers left, and the one is reserved for seeding.

The radish patch has become vacant, and the place where Wei Lan is using a sharp-nosed **** to dig up the dirt can be used to grow vegetables for the new season.

Grandma Gu was originally very worried, but when she saw Wei Lan's messy manner of removing the soil, she did not loosen the soil, and filled most of the soil she dug up with the **** into her shoes. However, Wei Lan didn't know it and was still working hard.

"Hey! Hey!" Grandma Gu quickly took the **** and pushed Wei Lan aside, "You are messing around, where is the use of you? Go and wait over there."

There are not many seeds, so it can be done in half a quarter of an hour.

Wei Lan looked at her shoes that were caked with dirt, and realized later that she had done something stupid.

It snowed a while ago, and it took the sun for several days to completely melt. Now the soil on the ground is still wet. The soil that was poured into the shoes was a bit painful at first. After getting used to the cold and cold feeling, it felt like dough. It felt like it had been flattened, and I couldn't feel it anymore.

Wei Lan sat down next to the vegetable garden and took off her shoes to take a look.

 Sure enough!

 The clods of soil were trampled into thin sheets and stuck firmly to the soles of the shoes. Under the white socks, yellow blocks of similar sizes appeared.

Wei Lan was about to cry, but Grandma Gu was laying her seeds. She inadvertently raised her head and glanced over here, feeling angry and funny at the same time. "Okay, go back and soak it in water, rub it and it will fall off. Don't look so grim."

Wei Lan's face suddenly turned red.

 She was not worried that the mud marks would not be washed away.

 Absolutely, completely because I wanted to help but failed to do so. Instead, I made a joke and was annoyed.

The act of digging soil ended in embarrassment. Wei Lan didn't want to mention it again, so she blushed and said "hmm" in an angry voice, and sat down to wait.

There are only two handfuls of tomato seeds, because the seedlings need to be cultivated first. Later, when the seedlings grow to six or seven centimeters, they can be moved to other places and planted at intervals. It doesn't matter if the seeds are sown more densely now.

Grandma Gu quickly scattered all the seeds and covered them with soil.

Wei Lan thought that watering was still needed, but Grandma Gu said that the soil was very moist now and there was no need to water it. If it was a bright sun tomorrow, she would come over tomorrow afternoon and water it again then.

In the private plot, Grandma Gu only sown tomato seeds. After returning home, she scattered coriander seeds next to the palm-sized area where green onions were planted in the backyard.

Wei Lan was helping out at the side, but more often than not he was causing trouble, which made Grandma Gu dumbfounded and kept pushing her aside.

 Wei Lan has basically given up. She has always felt that she is quite talented in all aspects, such as cooking, making clothes...

 Especially making clothes, it is completely a later stage of learning, and you can get started after thinking about it. This kind of thing is always a joke.

 Since I’m not here to eat this kind of food, I can’t do it.

Wei Lan comforted herself in her heart, but her mood did not improve at all.

She went back to the room holding her mouth and sat down at the table, flipping through the math textbook and writing.

Grandma Gu was afraid that Wei Lan would take advantage of her, so she was angry with herself and forgot about the things in the backyard. After washing her hands and passing by the window, she secretly took a look.

The glass window is hazy, and the figures inside are slightly distorted, but it can also be seen that Wei Lan is reading a book seriously.

Grandma Gu breathed a sigh of relief, wrinkles appeared on her face, and she smiled kindly.

Afraid of disturbing Wei Lan, she deliberately kept her hands and feet quiet and went to the front yard to get busy.

 Gu Sande came by in the evening.

 The brigade has twenty acres of land, and there are sixteen young and middle-aged laborers in total, and Gu Chao is one of them.

 Gu Sande estimated that Gu Chao should have gone home by this time, so he came here specifically to inform about the afternoon meeting. Who knew that as soon as the door of the Gu family opened, there were only three people in the main room, Wei Lan, Gu Apo and You Lan, watching TV.

Gu Sande calmly glanced at the kitchen in the back. It was pitch dark with no lights on, "Brother Chao hasn't come back yet?"

Wei Lan hesitated for a moment. Although she knew that the relationship between the two families was unusual, she was not sure how to answer.

Grandma Gu came out in time to relieve the siege and said to Gu Sande: "Brother Chao is very ambitious. I'm afraid I changed my mind and went to the county at the last minute. If I don't catch the bus, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little longer to get home."

Grandma Gu didn't say it clearly, and Gu Sande wasn't stupid either. Although he didn't know that Gu Chao was working with others to raise pigs in another mountain, he could guess a lot about the large amount of cloth that Chao brought back from the sea market.

I'm afraid it's not a glorious and disciplined thing.

 Gu Sande knew what Grandma Gu was like. Since Gu Chao could make Grandma Gu nod, it meant that Gu Chao was 100% sure that nothing would happen. He immediately felt relieved and asked Wei Lan to tell Grandma Gu about the meeting.

 After talking about important things, I watched TV at Gu’s house for a while before leaving.

Until nine o'clock in the evening, You Lan was already asleep on the bamboo bed. Wei Lan brought a small quilt to cover her. She turned to look at her grandma, who also had a tired look on her face. She was clearly unable to hold back her yawns.

Wei Lan advised: "Grandma, go to bed, I will leave the door open for Brother Chao."

Grandma Gu gets sleepy easily because she is old, and she is also afraid of Wei Lan sitting alone. When she returned to the room, she warned her for a long time, "You don't have to watch, use a chair to push against the door, and go back to the house to sleep."

"I know, grandma." Wei Lan promised quickly. After Gu Gu went back to the house and lay down, she quickly unlocked the door bolt.

Afraid that Youlan would catch a cold while sleeping in the hall, she went back to the house and put a sheet on top of the quilt, carefully tucking the corner of the quilt. Then Wei Lan turned on the light and turned back to the room.

  She took a nap in the afternoon, and she still didn’t feel sleepy, so she was not in a hurry to go to bed. She opened the math textbook and continued to list various question types under the formula questions of the morning and afternoon questions in the book.
