Chapter 246: Winter Preparations
Gu Chao sighed with amusement, Wei Lan winked at him, and then stretched out his little hand and waved it outward, signaling Gu Chao to go with confidence, she would watch at home.
After Gu Chao left, Wei Lan pulled the courtyard door and ran to Grandma Gu to sit down.
With her little white hand supporting her chin, Wei Lan watched Grandma's movements skillfully sew the upper, "Grandma, I have enough shoes to wear, and I also sent a letter to my family, this is for Youlan!" ”
A few days ago, Wei Lan asked Gu Chao to send a letter to Jingshi, asking his family to send some winter clothes, and mentioned the clothes from his childhood, if he could find them, he would also pick some good ones and send them over.
Just enough to give the right orchid.
Grandma Gu smiled, her face full of love, "What is sent by home is sent by home, and what Grandma does is made by Grandma, how can this be the same?" ”
Wei Lan pursed her lips and swallowed her words.
There was a sudden knock on the courtyard door, Wei Lan got up and went over to open the door, only to see the women's director standing outside the door.
Wei Lan hurriedly stepped aside and invited the women's director into the house, "Why is the director here?" What's the matter? ”
Seeing Grandma Gu sitting in the courtyard, the women's director didn't enter the house, so she laughed at the door: "What's the big deal?" It's my family who went out to a meeting with the captain, and I don't think I can come back tonight, so I wonder if I can ask my brother to help and go to the rice field for my family to keep vigil tonight. ”
The wheat in the field has been harvested, most of it has been threshed and harvested into the granary, and only a small part is still piled up on the rice field.
It is the same reason as the previous vigil in the wheat field, but I am still afraid of people stealing.
Gu Chao was going to Beishan tonight, and he didn't have a home at all.
Wei Lan pondered carefully, and just wanted to speak, but Grandma Gu on the side took the lead and said: "What is the big deal, don't worry, Brother Chao will be optimistic." ”
The Director of Women's thanked her again and again and finally left.
Wei Lan closed the courtyard door, looked at Grandma Gu and said, "Grandma wants Brother Yang to go?" ”
Grandma Gu nodded: "Let's just say that you are a ghost." ”
If you refuse, it is very likely that the fact that Gu Chao is not at home will be exposed, and if you meet someone with a heart, it may lead to trouble.
Wei Lan thought about it with Grandma Gu.
Wei Lan's pink lips pursed slightly, and a sly smile was immediately revealed, "That night, I went to Brother Yang's house to take care of Fang Xia, and Youlan came with me, okay?" ”
"Okay, why not?" Grandma Gu smiled kindly, bent down and stretched out her hand to gesture twice on the side of Wei Lan's shoes, and then waved her hand and said, "Go to the house to read a book, young people, studies are the most important." ”
Wei Lan: ...... All right.

In the blink of an eye, the weather enters November, the temperature gradually drops, hot and cold are impermanent, and the moment you open the door every morning, you can clearly see the frost crystals condensed on the bamboo leaves.
Wei Lan pushed open the window, lazily yawning by the window, and there were quilt marks on his face.
There was a pile of dried bamboo piled up in the backyard, and Gu Chaozheng used a firewood knife to chop the bamboo into small pieces, and then split the small bamboo tubes into several finger-thick bamboo sticks.
Originally, he was still puzzled, but the small stove placed by the well and the copper pot that Grandma Gu was washing in her hand, Wei Lan immediately understood.
I heard Gu Chao mention before, the southern winter is wet and cold, and the temperature in the house is low, so the stove will be used to warm the hot water at all times, which is convenient when you want to drink water, and the stove can also warm the house at the same time.
"Started preparing so early?" Wei Lan squeezed the toothpaste and squatted beside Grandma Gu, and without brushing it twice, she freed her hand to touch the trapezoidal copper pot.
