The small oven had been turned out and dried before, and this was the first time the fire was opened, Gu Chao was afraid that the oven would not be successful, so he was very careful when burning the fire.

After Wei Lan's more than 20 small noodles were ready one after another, he withdrew the carbon fire in the oven one by one, and was relieved to see that there were no cracks on the surface of the oven.

Gu Chao found a basket and put on a clean towel, and when Wei Lan put the small noodles into the basket, he carefully stuffed the basket into the oven, and took a wooden pot lid that was smaller than the kitchen pot lid, and buckled it on the sloping oven mouth.

After finishing this, the two wiped the sweat from their foreheads, one sat on the stone pier, and the other curled up in a rocking chair and lazily dangled his calves and waited.

Gu Chao was not as lazy as Wei Lan, and after sitting on the stone pier for a while, he got up and approached the window of Wei Lan's room.

Gu Chao reached in through the crack in the window and took out the Mandarin textbook with several pieces of letter paper on the table.

Most of the textbooks are poems of great men or praise of the motherland, Wei Lan is delicately divided, and some lyrical passages are circled and divided.

In some places, Wei Lan wrote the first half of the sentence on the paper, and asked Gu Chao to write the second half of the sentence silently.

Compared with mathematics and physics, which have to apply various formulas, Mandarin is much simpler for Gu Chao.

What's so hard about rote memorization?

"The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless; Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging. Mountain Dance Silver Snake ......"

Gu Chao read the contents of the textbook in a low voice, and Wei Lan was half-lying on the rocking chair, staring at Gu Chao with his hands on his cheeks.

I have to be busy supporting my family, I have to do the work in the brigade, and I have to find time to study.

Wei Lan sighed softly and whispered, "I'm tired." ”

"Don't think about it." Gu Chao's gaze moved back and forth with the words in the textbook, "These are nothing. ”

As long as he thinks of the future situation, Gu Chao is full of energy, not to mention whether he is tired or not now, even if he is given two more jobs, he can still persevere.

Wei Lan was melancholy in her heart, but her face was bright, she smiled and said: "Now is a new society, I am not a woman in the old days, we are equal." So, in the future, you can't just think about one person taking everything, it's not fair to me. ”

The two opened their hearts and chatted for an afternoon, until the goat milk rolls came out of the oven, Wei Lan packed a few goat milk rolls in a cloth bag, and poured the remaining part of the boiled goat milk into the enamel jar and handed it to Gu Chao, asking him to send it to Gu Yang's house.

When Gu Chao left, she picked out a few goat milk rolls and hung them in the hanging basket on the kitchen beam, and put the rest in the basket to wait for it to cool down, and then put it in a cloth bag, waiting to take it to the black market in the town tomorrow to try her luck.

Early the next morning, Wei Lan packed up and just packed everything in the bamboo basket when the sound of a bicycle parked came from the courtyard.

Wei Lan looked up and followed the prestige, and saw Gu Chao striding from the courtyard.

"Did the captain say anything?" Wei Lan asked.

Six or seven miles to the town, originally to walk, Gu Chao disagreed, and went to knock on the door of the captain's house early in the morning, saying that he was borrowing a bicycle.

"Nope." Gu Chao picked up the bamboo basket on the ground and looked at Wei Lan quietly for a while.

She is wearing a moon-white buttoned gown today, an ice blue skirt underneath, white ruffled socks with a pair of black round scalp shoes, and her hair is combed into a six-strand braided and hung on the back of her head, delicate and beautiful, just like when she first met in the countryside.
