I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 465 Sudden negative emotions

“You still said that!” Wei Lan puffed up his cheeks and punched him in the chest.

People are inherently complex, and they will show different aspects when facing different people.

It’s not that she can’t accept it, it’s just that she was a little shocked. Wei Lan felt that she might need some time to buffer.

　That cute little friend and little brother is, in a sense, a hidden boss! !

Fortunately, she used to think of herself as a sister and elder, and treated Xie Jinghong as an ordinary child, telling her this and that...

　　Although Xie Jinghong replied very nicely, in his heart, he would probably regard her as a fool, right?

 Wei Lan covered her face, ugh...it's so embarrassing!

“Sister Lan, I’m waiting for you!” Youlan’s voice came from the front yard, and Wei Lan quickly stood up, “Come right here!”

 After saying that, he turned around and looked at Gu Chao, "Do you have to go to the post office to send a letter soon?"

"Yes, this matter still needs planning." Gu Chao nodded.

Regarding the garment factory, Xie Jinghong strongly agreed with Wei Lan's idea and analyzed the pros and cons with Gu Chao afterwards. Gu Chao confirmed that Wei Lan would not be too tired as she said, so he agreed.

Although people on both sides have already started to make arrangements, things like finding a venue and hiring people are just scratching the surface and have not yet been finalized.

"Okay!" Wei Lan nodded clearly, walked to the closet, took out a small bundle and handed it to Gu Chao, "Since Xie Jinghong can withstand the situation, we must also show our own attitude. At least we can’t let people think we’re just talking.”

 At least let people know that they not only have ideas, but can also make beautiful, exquisite, and durable clothes.

 In the baggage are the clothes Wei Lan made for Xie Jinghong last week according to the size estimated by Zhao Chao.

"Yeah." Gu Chao took the package, responded lightly, and said, "Just this time, just let him know that you can and have ideas."

How could Wei Lan not know that Gu Chao was jealous at the moment, but she smiled and nodded, "Well, just this once."

 Through previous exchanges of letters, Wei Lan really liked the child Xie Jinghong.

 But since she learned that Xie Jinghong was not as immature and ignorant as she thought, Wei Lan's mood gradually began to change.

 She will still like Xie Jinghong without any prejudice.

 But after all, we can no longer treat him like an ignorant child.

 “Sister Lan!” You Lan poked her head in at the door of the room.

Today is Grain Rain, and each family on the team will send someone to pick tea leaves at Chashanbao. Because of the sunflower seed project, the tea leaves picked this year can be kept at home.

Grandma Gu has bad legs and feet, and she is a member of the Gu family named Youlan.

You Lan started preparing early in the morning. After waiting in the front yard for a long time, Wei Lan didn't come, so she ran over to see what was going on.

Wei Lan knew that he had been delayed for a long time, so he told Gu Chao to come back early, picked up the small backpack and ran out with You Lan, "Let's go! Run faster, we will definitely pick more than others." !”

Gu Chao laughed dumbly, looking at the two figures running away, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Auntie Gu came out of the kitchen carrying a bucket of swill. She was going to the front yard to mix chicken food. When she saw Gu Chao holding the letter and walking out, Auntie Gu stopped him and said, "Brother Chao, are you going out?"

Gu Chao nodded, took the swill bucket from Grandma Gu and carried it to the front yard.

Thinking that Grandma Gu had something to do with him, Gu Chao explained: "Grandma, I will go to the town to send a letter and then come back. I can get home in an hour by bicycle."

Grandma Gu waved her hands, not taking it seriously, "Go ahead and see if you can still buy meat when you come back. Tomorrow is the 21st. It just so happens that you will be 21 years old and you can eat the food of the 22nd year old." .”

It was only then that Gu Chao came to his senses.

It turns out that this year’s Grain Rain falls on April 20th.

Gu Chao turned his head and looked in the direction of the tea bag.

On the morning of April, the sky was clear, the sun was slightly warm, the fields were green and the water was green, and the tea mountains in the distance were even greener. Little people as big as thumbs were lining up along the path up the mountain.

In the crowd, the bright and bright yellow figure wearing a straw hat and bouncing around was particularly eye-catching, and he saw him at a glance.

His expression suddenly softened, Gu Chao's lips curved upwards, and he said softly, "Okay."

 …

Wei Lan rushed to Chashanbao with the idea of ​​​​showing off her talents. Together with Youlan, she found a corner with fewer people and started picking tea leaves. However, within ten minutes, Wei Lan regretted it.

 How much I looked forward to it before coming, but now I regret it so much.

Wei Lan moved very slowly. The tea trees were mixed with thorns and thorny wild raspberry trees. If you weren't careful, you would be hooked by the thorns. Just now, she was busy working "swish, swish, swish" in order to be quick, and she was stabbed. Hooked.

 There was no injury, but the clothes on his body were scratched by thorns. As a last resort, Wei Lan became cautious and slowed down his movements.

 Plus, picking tea leaves involves always repeating the same three movements: reaching out, pinching, and closing, which makes Wei Lan even more boring.

I finally understood why Grandma Gu and Gu Chao had so strongly blocked her from carrying the tea bag in a big frame.

Wei Lan’s little face wrinkled up in embarrassment, and she was secretly glad in her heart: Fortunately, she didn’t carry it...

If you really carry a big frame and are laughed at as a fool, wouldn't it be a matter of running away?

Wei Lan wanted to retreat, but seeing that little Youlan could persist, and her hands and feet were as nimble as those of the older sisters-in-law and younger wives nearby, she was really embarrassed to run away from the battle.

Wei Lan gritted her teeth and picked tea leaves for two hours. When she saw that the time on her watch was eleven o'clock, she said nothing and rushed down the mountain with her basket on her back, running faster than a rabbit. "Youlan, you can pick a little longer." Just go home! I have to go to the cafeteria!"

"Oh..." You Lan nodded, stretched her neck for a while and shouted, "Oh! Sister Lan, you should run slower!"

 “Got it!” Wei Lan responded, her legs already jumping up and down quickly.

 It seems like there is something like: As long as I run fast enough, no one can see my lazy intentions.

Running all the way back to the cafeteria, Wei Lan was already exhausted. He threw his backpack on the table in the main room and lay slumped on the table to catch his breath.

The sun was strong at noon and the temperature was high. Although Wei Lan wore a hat, Wei Lan's skin was fair. After staying in the hot temperature for so long, her fair face was as red as a cooked shrimp.

Li Sangsang came out after hearing the voice. He was stunned for a long time when he saw that her beauty looked like she had been tortured.

It took him a while to react, and he reached out and pulled the small basket on the table, "Let me see, the eldest lady has been preparing for several days. How many tea leaves have she picked?"

"I'm annoying you to death! Sang Zao'er!" Wei Lan, like a cat with hairy fur, pulled the backpack back from Li Sangsang's hand, held it tightly in his arms and turned away.

The tea leaves in the basket are worth two small handfuls if squeezed hard.

 Wei Lan was really angry all of a sudden, and there was quite a bit of embarrassment and anger.

Think about how she set goals before?

　Now that I think about it, I am really slapping myself in the face!

Wei Lan was so angry that she hummed softly, and Li Sangsang was amused by her awkward look. It wasn't until he received a glare from Wei Lan that Li Sangsang completely stopped teasing him, "What's the point? You've done a great job. Picking tea leaves is so boring. I don't like picking tea leaves. It's all my mother's fault." go."

Wei Lan thought to herself: It's boring. After this time, she won't go there again!

The two of them chatted about picking tea leaves for a while with their heads next to each other. Wei Lan suddenly asked: "Where is Jiang Lihua?"

Li Sangsang shrugged, "Jiang Zhiqing... I'm talking about Jiang Cheng. He works in the sunflower seed field. The one who went to pick tea leaves should be Sister Lihua. At this time, she should be back soon."

Wei Lan nodded, indicating that he understood.

After resting for a while, Wei Lan got up to fetch water and wash her hands, but found another problem that made her very uncomfortable.

The right hand is used to pick tea leaves. You need to use your thumb and index finger to pinch the tea leaves and pinch them.

In the two hours she had just been picking tea leaves, the tips and pads of Wei Lan's thumb and index finger had already been stained black. She originally thought it was dust on the tea leaves, but after soaking it in water for a long time, she found that it couldn't be washed off. Only then did I realize the problem.

Wei Lan didn’t believe in evil. He tried it with lard pancake, which was usually used to wash hands in the cafeteria, but it didn’t work. He also tried the native method commonly used by the brigade, using mud and plant ash, but it still didn’t work.

 The color on my fingers has not faded at all, and is even a little swollen from rubbing.

Looking at the dirty fingertips and the black fingertips, Wei Lan suddenly felt irritable and slammed her hand back into the basin, causing water to splash everywhere.

"What's wrong?"

Just as Jiang Lihua entered the room, Wei Lan quickly took back her hand and shook her head, "No, it's nothing."

Jiang Lihua has changed a lot in the past six months. The first and most obvious thing is that her hands and feet are sharp and she can endure hardships.

　　After picking tea leaves all morning, her results were much better than Wei Lan's. The basket was larger than Wei Lan's basket, and most of the tea leaves were filled in it.

Jiang Lihua came back in a hurry. She was very thirsty. She went into the house and drank a large bowl of water. She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Okay, sisters, let's start working!"

 …

After finishing the work in the cafeteria, Wei Lan was in a low mood and went home without eating.

Grandma Gu was repairing a torn gown in the courtyard. She was a little surprised when Wei Lan came back, "Why is it so early today? Didn't you eat in the cafeteria?"

Wei Lan twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "I've eaten Grandma's food."

 After saying that, he plunged into the house and returned to his room.

Grandma Gu stopped sewing and looked at the empty main room, feeling a little confused.

From time to time, the courtyard door creaked, and Grandma Gu looked back, "Brother Chao is back too!"

“Well, I’ll just come back and take a look.” After saying that, he also plunged into the house and no one was there.

 Gu Chao came back from sending a letter in the morning and went directly to work in the fields. He went to the big cafeteria for lunch as usual. He didn't see Wei Lan. After asking Jiang Lihua, he found out that Wei Lan had come back first.

Li Sangsang revealed that Wei Lan was not in a high mood and Gu Chao was a little worried and wanted to come back for a visit.

The wooden door was closed tightly, and the darkness inside could be vaguely seen through the small cracks.

Gu Chao was not sure whether Wei Lan was taking a nap or something else. In the end, he did not suppress the worry in his heart and knocked on the door, "Nanny?"

The curtains in the room were tightly drawn, and the young girl was lying on the bed. The person who had always been sunny seemed to have fallen into a low mood overnight.

Wei Lan moved her body, leaning her head on the pillow, revealing half of her melancholy face, "Huh?"

 “Open the door.”

 “No.” Wei Lan raised her eyebrows and refused simply.

There was silence outside the door. She thought Gu Chao had left, and she felt even more depressed. The next second, she suddenly heard the door panel click, and then light came in.

Wei Lan was stunned, turned over and looked back. Gu Chao had actually removed the door panel!

 The man leaned against the door panel with a solemn and solemn face.

Wei Lan instantly acted like an ostrich, and said, "Brother Chao, I, I'm just in a bad mood, I want to be alone for a while..."

The big man Gu Chao sat on the edge of the bed next to Wei Lan, looking at the ground with his head raised, and said nothing for a long time.

The two stood side by side in silence for a moment. Gu Chao suddenly said, "Youlan is eleven years old. Even if she is unhappy, she will not lock herself in the room."

The words to explain were stuck in his throat, and Wei Lan suddenly became silent. His whole body seemed to have lost all strength, and he sat there with a sad face.

 She didn’t know what was wrong with her, it was like an inexplicable negative emotion was welling up.

 Irritability, fear, uneasiness…

 But it is clear that my aunt, who is one month old, has just left.

Wei Lan couldn't find a reason to explain this sudden negative emotion.

"If you want to stay alone for a while, you can be in the room or in the backyard. I will give you space and time and won't disturb you." Gu Chao turned back and looked at Wei Lan with dark and deep eyes, "But don't If I close myself off, I will be worried, and so will Grandma and the others."

As if to fulfill Gu Chao's words, Grandma Gu's voice came from the kitchen, "Wei Lan, Grandma has made a pot of shredded pork noodles, would you like to get up and eat some?"

Wei Lan was stunned and turned to look at Gu Chao, her eyes sparkling brightly, and the next second she shed tears, "Brother Chao, I..."

"No one blames you." Gu Chao interrupted Wei Lan and gently wiped away the crystal tears from the corners of her eyes with his rough fingers. "You can tell me what makes you feel bad. If you can't solve it, I will solve it." , I can’t solve it either, let’s find a solution together, eh?”

"Well..." Wei Lan sobbed and shook her head, her little hands curled into fists to wipe away her tears. She was innocent and fragile, completely opposite to her usual petty and spoiled appearance. Her tiny sobs were heartbreaking, "I don't know, I just, just Fear."

"What are you afraid of?" Gu Chao patted her back to comfort her, but Wei Lan just shed tears and shook her head and said "I don't know."

 I don’t know what I’m afraid of, but I am afraid.

 It was like a huge mountain suddenly pressed up, and I felt extremely depressed.

Gu Chaojian really couldn't ask, and he was afraid that Wei Lan would think more deeply and become even worse, so he stopped asking.

Patiently stayed by Wei Lan's side to comfort him. When he saw Wei Lan making any move to stop crying, Gu Chao immediately changed the topic and asked, "Do you remember what day tomorrow is?"

"Huh?" Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's Brother Chao's birthday."

Previously in Beijing, Wei Xueliang asked Gu Chao his age, and Gu Chao said he would be twenty-one on April 21st. Wei Lan always remembered it.

And because the wedding day of Wei Lin and Song Qi was also scheduled on April 21st, Wei Lan remembered it very clearly, and even started planning a few days ago on how to arrange Gu Chao's birthday.
