The idea was finalized, and Wei Lan had the help of God, and his speed was much faster.

Spreading the fabric and smoothing it, she bent over, holding the ruler in one hand and drawing lines along the ruler with a pencil in the other.

The pencil marks on the navy blue cloth are not obvious, but you can see them if you look closely.

In order to avoid the fabric left over after cutting, it is too fine to be reused.

Wei Lan operated very carefully, and the ruler was compared with the marginal line of the fabric.

After the sketching outline, Wei Lan sat back in the chair, and slowly cut the scissors in her hand along the shallow pencil print.

The room was quiet, and the two sat almost side by side, but they were both busy with their own work, and neither of them spoke.

He was used to listening to Wei Lan's chatter, but suddenly quieted down, and Gu Chao was a little uncomfortable.

The pen in his hand sneered on the paper for the thirty-second time "Wei Lan", Gu Chao couldn't hold back any longer, and looked sideways to the side.

At this time, Wei Lan sat beside him, hanging his head and quietly busy, the two strands of black hair on his forehead hung down softly, and the face of a palm-sized melon seed became more and more white and delicate, and the lip flaps became more and more red and delicate.

Beautiful and demure, just like the people in the painting.

She's making clothes for him.

Such a picture, Gu Chao didn't even dare to think about it, but it just happened.

These are all facts, she not only cooks for him, but also knits sweaters and makes clothes for him, and kisses him affectionately, hugs him, and asks him to hug ......

The satisfaction of turning the impossible into a possibility filled Gu Chao's entire chest in an instant.

Gu Chao's deep pupils glowed faintly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook.

Wei Lan suddenly frowned, and impatiently rubbed the hair that had fallen from the corners of her forehead with the back of her hand, as if she felt itchy.

I rubbed it two or three times, but I still couldn't rub the strand of hair away.

Gu Chao rubbed his index finger and thumb, reached out to help her, and pinned the strand of hair behind her ear.

Wei Lan looked up at Gu Chao, her dark eyes were clear and well-behaved, and her smile was sweet, "Thank you, Brother Chao!" ”

Then he bowed his head and continued to fight with the few feet of cloth in his hand.

Gu Chao shook his head with a smile, retracted his gaze, and continued to write Wei Lan's name one by one.

……

In the evening, Wei Lan put the finishing work on the clothes in her hands, and Jiang Lihua came over with a sweater and a sad face.

The sweater in her hand was only knitted with a palm's width, and the middle section was wrong with a needle, which looked a little twisted, but it was only after knitting a long section that she found out, and now she is reluctant to dismantle it.

Jiang Lihua looked at Wei Lan expectantly, "This, is this still saved?" ”

is only an indirect two-inch distance, in Wei Lan's words, it is not troublesome to dismantle and re-weave, but Jiang Lihua feels that it is not good.

Lin Qing and the others are quick to get started, fast and good to weave, Jiang Lihua is slow to weave, and it is easy to make mistakes when she is in a hurry, although there are mistakes in this part, she is reluctant to dismantle them.

Why is it also self-knitted, isn't it?

Wei Lan was amused by her words, and the sweater that had just been checked in her hand returned to Jiang Lihua's arms, "Since that's the case, why don't you just continue to knit down?" And come and ask me if I can be saved? ”

"I weave and I weave, but when this spreads, when I compare it with Lin Qing and them, how do you see the past? Aren't people laughing at me? Jiang Lihua blushed anxiously, "Okay, Wei Lan, you can help me!" ”

Wei Lan didn't say anything, stood up from the sewing machine and opened the cabinet door, pulling out about half a meter of black cashmere thread from his own roll of black cashmere thread.

As soon as Jiang Lihua entered the house, she saw the sewing machine by the window, she knew that the sewing machine was expensive, not to mention how rare this thing was, but there must be curiosity.

As soon as Wei Lan walked away, Jiang Lihua sat down, staring at the curious touch and touch, "You bought it?" Or did Gu Chao buy it for you? ”

"I bought it." Wei Lan paused, turned around and saw Jiang Lihua reaching out to touch the needle of the thread, afraid that she would unconsciously step on the pedal below and prick herself, Wei Lan hurriedly said, "Why don't you come and watch?" Next time there is a problem like this, I won't help you. ”

"Here it is, here it is!"

Jiang Lihua was afraid that Wei Lan really didn't care about her, so without saying a word, she sat down in front of Wei Lan with the bench.

Wei Lan had a box of cards, she took out a card and put the cashmere thread on the card.

Use the word card as a needle, find the place where Jiang Lihua weaves and twist the bastard, wear and pick it, and the place that can be put just now instantly becomes a part of the slightly raised pattern.

"This method can pick out simple patterns, and it can be used without weaving damage."

Wei Lan neatly picked out a circle of lines to cover the damaged place, and explained to Jiang Lihua.

It's easy to pick a needle, just those few actions, Jiang Lihua learned very quickly, quickly got started, and put what she learned into practice, and after going back, according to what Wei Lan said, she kept picking out patterns in other positions, such as necklines, cuffs, etc.

Although the pattern is simple, it is also unique to the sweater lining, although Jiang Lihua is the last to complete the knitting of the sweater, but she is still very happy in her heart.

Because Lin Qing and the others held the sweater she knitted for a long time, they all praised it.

Jiang Cheng put on a warm sweater, and his heart was also warm, and he praised everyone in the educated youth spot, how good his sister's craftsmanship was, the sweater was fashionable and warm, and so on.

The other male intellectuals were all red-eyed.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the male intellectuals are also thinking about it, suffering from clumsiness and clumsiness that they can't knit, so they privately ask the female intellectuals to help them see if they can help and weave for them.

Knitting sweaters is time-consuming and laborious, of course, it can't be woven in vain, male and female intellectuals are totaled with each other, and finally the decision is made, the money to buy wool is paid by the male intellectuals, and the female intellectuals are responsible for weaving, and they will be given a dollar honorarium.

A big meat bun in a state-run restaurant is a dime and two a piece, it is a fine grain and meat, so a comparison, a dollar is not old or young, and it is much more cost-effective than the usual straw rope.

The work of the female intellectuals suddenly increased, and the male intellectuals needed wool, and felt that cashmere thread was too expensive, so they finally made a unified decision to let Gu Chao help buy ordinary wool.

There is a bicycle at home, and Gu Chao has to go to the town every day to buy goat's milk and deliver milk rolls, and by the way, he buys the wool back.

Originally, the wool of eight cents, because several people wanted it, a total of three or four catties of yarn, Gu Chao pondered for a while, and said a discount to the yams.

Yam is making a lot of money because he has recently resold milk rolls, so he readily agreed, and gave Gu Chao seven cents for every two wool threads.

When Gu Chao left, the potato was still chasing two steps behind, "Brother Chao, I'll come back tomorrow!" ......"

Yam has made a lot of money recently, and his face is full of redness, and the people around him who are doing this business together have also noticed it, and they have been inquiring in private for the past two days.

Afraid that he would leak his mouth, and when he turned around, they knew that he would come to grab the source of goods with him again, and the potato hurriedly changed his tone, "How much you want!" I'm waiting for you! ”

The people around heard it in a fog, but the potato knew that Gu Chao understood what he meant.

Gu Chao bought wool after delivering the goat milk rolls, and remembered Wei Lan's instructions in his heart, there should be a reply from the Beijing City in the past two days.

Before returning home, he rode his bicycle to the post office.

Don't say it, there really is.

Gu Chaoyi handed over Wei Lan's household registration book, and the staff at the window took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "The letter has been stopped here for two days, and yesterday the director said that if no one comes to pick it up today, he will have to let the postman run in person." ”

The staff handed the letter to Gu Chao, "Comrade, put it away." ”

"Thank you." Gu Chao thanked him softly, he was still a little confused, but when he saw the red seal with the word "army" in the corner of the envelope, he understood everything.

Gu Chao put the letter away and rode his bicycle to his home non-stop.

When she got home, Wei Lan sat in front of the sewing machine and studied how to tie her pants.

The tops made for Gu Chao a few days ago were very successful, the stitches of the sewing machine were neat and dense, Grandma Gu was full of praise when she saw it, and threatened to underestimate Wei Lan, but Wei Lan was proud of something.

With the first practice, Wei Lan quickly put into the second practice.

The pants are not cut like the tops, with the corner curvature, Wei Lan studied for two days before cutting out the fabric with scissors.

Just as he was pondering where to put a needle, a yellow brown paper envelope was handed to him.

"You're back?" Wei Lan raised her eyes and smiled at Gu Chao, took the envelope, and brushed her slender fingers over the red military stamp, "It's my father's reply." ”

She tore open the seal and looked at it carefully.

"Hmm." Gu Chao bowed his head and sat down beside her.

When Wei Lan saw that he was almost done, he asked in a dumb voice, "What did Uncle say?" ”

Gu Chao's shoulders bulged slightly, his big hands were clenched into fists, and his palms were tense and sweaty.

"Dad, let's not rush back to Beijing."

Wei Lan's voice fell, Gu Chao's body stiffened suddenly, he was silent for a moment, and nodded lightly, "Okay." ”

He had thought about this result and thought it would be acceptable, but he heard it in his ears and felt something else.

Gu Chao had an inexplicable understanding in his heart, it was difficult to be recognized by Wei Lan's parents.

But he won't give up.

After a moment of sluggishness, Gu Chao's body was swept away by gloom, and he looked up at Wei Lan, his voice was deep, and his eyes were full of tenderness and fighting spirit, "Are you tired?" Don't sit in the house all the time, your neck can't stand it. ”

His big hand gently rubbed Wei Lan's back cervical spine.

His intention in buying the sewing machine was not to detain Wei Lan at home to make clothes, but to pass the time when she was bored.

Wei Lan had been paying attention to Gu Chao's expression, and when Gu Chao was in a low mood just now, she felt the loss, and her heart almost didn't stop.

But when he saw that Gu Chao quickly regained his confidence and fighting spirit, Wei Lan pursed his lips and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

They all have grown, and Gu Chao's growth is the most obvious.

He is no longer like before, because of low self-esteem, he will constantly retreat and imprison himself in a world that others cannot touch and are not allowed to touch.

He became more mature and steady when she didn't know it......

It seems to form another kind of addictive charm that attracts her to want to get closer, to rely on.

"Don't mess with you, see for yourself!"

Wei Lan stuffed the letter into Gu Chao's hand, dragged the chair back to the sewing machine, and thought in his mouth: "When I tie the thread, you will have new pants, if there is no problem, go back and make two more." ”

Gu Chao shook his head and sighed, "It's just that if you go back and buy it, you toss it for several days, and it's not hard enough." ”

"What I did worse than what I bought?"

Wei Lan pouted and glared at Gu Chao, and suddenly drilled the tip of the horns.

"No, I'm just afraid of your hard work." Gu Chao coughed dryly to explain, afraid that Wei Lan would continue to investigate, so he touched his head and looked down at the letter.

At this glance, in an instant, Gu Chao's deep eyes were flooded, "Huh, Nannan?" ”

Wei Lan smoothed the cut fabric and sent it to the needle, and when she stepped on the pedal, there was a regular "chirping" sound when the sewing machine landed.

"What? Happy silly? ”

Glancing at Gu Chao obliquely, seeing that Gu Chao's deep eyes were wide open, the corners of Wei Lan's mouth couldn't help but hook slightly, and pretended to be unhappy and said, "If you don't want to go, forget it, I'll go back alone." ”

"Go, of course I'm going, let's go together!" Gu Chao pulled Wei Lan into his arms violently, his chin lingered on the top of her hair and rubbed it gently, his voice hoarse and excited, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and when I go to Beijing, I'll have a showdown with my uncle......"

He's going to marry her.

Gu Chao's heart had never been so hot as he thought.

He thought that Wei Lan's parents did not approve of them being together, so they would oppose him going to Beijing.

But they didn't expect that it was because they knew the population of the Gu family and knew that if Gu Chao and Wei Lan went north, then on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Gu family would only be left with Gu Grandma and Youlan as an old man and a child.

The family is too lonely and has no New Year's flavor, Wei's mother and Wei Xueliang are sympathetic to the situation of the Gu family, so they will deliberately write a reply letter to ask them to return to Beijing after the New Year.

The people of the Wei family are like Wei Lan, kind and considerate.

And he thought of them like that just now......

Gu Chao felt ashamed of the dark thoughts in his heart just now, and after repenting, he felt more confident in his heart.

This is an opportunity thrown by Wei Lan's parents, and he must seize it!

Wei Lan was tired of being in Gu Chao's arms for a while, and he didn't let go of himself after hugging him for a long time, and he was still smirking there.

Wei Lan gradually pushed Gu Chao, "You have nothing to do to practice calligraphy!" I'm still busy! ”

After sewing the pants, you have to knit a sweater......

I used to plan to knit sweaters for Wei's mother and bring them back during the Spring Festival, but now they want to go back after they become adults, and the sweaters have to be knitted in advance and sent back to Beijing before the year.

If they bring it back after the year, they won't be able to wear it for two days, and they will have to pass the season.

It is more than a month before the Chinese New Year, three sweaters, Wei Lan wants to finish knitting in nearly half a month, and send them back to Beijing when the time comes.

She has been in the countryside for so long and has never had the opportunity to fulfill her filial piety, and now she can only do her best in such a subtle place.

Gu Chao: From today onwards, you must learn to be a qualified and excellent son-in-law-to-be, and when you go to Beijing, you will take down Wei's father and Wei's mother in one fell swoop!

Wei Lan: I still have to knit a sweater after making pants, and I have to make pants after knitting a sweater...... Brother Chao is good-looking, she must highlight his advantages, and then her parents will definitely only applaud!

She had to hurry.

Wei Lan withdrew from Gu Chao's arms.

Gu Chao remembered the matter of wool and was about to go to Zhiqing Point, Wei Lan was busy with his hands and didn't raise his head, "Don't they all have to come over at night?" Just give them back when the time comes, not too much. ”

Since that day, when Lin Qing and they learned to knit sweaters with Wei Lan, they found that the Gu family had a TV, and they came almost every night after that, at first Lin Qing Fan Xiao and a few of them, and later Yu Tingyi Li Wenwen and they also came.

There are more than a dozen big girls and young men in the hall Don't mention how lively it is, Xu is embarrassed to come too many times, when he left last night, Lin Qing stuffed Wei Lan with a dollar, saying that it was the meaning of the educated youth.
