Wei Lan said, turned on the TV and tuned to the station where the drama is usually broadcast.

After finishing all this, Wei Lan turned around and walked out with a pot in one hand and a basket in the other, "Grandma, I'll be back in a while!" ”

Seeing that she was in a hurry and chasing after her, Grandma Gu raised her voice and advised: "Slow down, the road is slippery, be careful not to let the ginger soup spill out and burn yourself......"

"Got it!"

Wei Lan's voice came, and the person had already disappeared at the door.

Grandma Gu shook her head and smiled, "Reckless girl." ”

*

There was a thin layer of snow on the ground, and Wei Lan was afraid of slipping, so he was careful all the way.

She was dressed a lot and thick, and when she walked to the place where the water was intercepted upstream, her back was already sweating.

The place where the water was intercepted was upstream of Xiaogang, and Wei Lan had come here to graze cattle at the beginning.

The stream, which is more than a meter wide, is blocked by sacks filled with dirt on top of each other, and ditches are dug in the stream further upstream, leading the water to a large pit where cattle usually roll.

The pit had just been cleared, and the mud had been dug out and piled aside, and the clean stream was slowly flowing into it.

The creek is living water, and if you don't do that, the sack downstream that blocks the water won't matter at all.

After digging ditches and digging up mud, the young men present were covered with mud, their lower pants were wet and sticking to their legs, and when the wind blew, everyone was swinging.

Captain Gu Sande was even more exaggerated, the whole person was covered in mud, as if he had just fallen into the pit, and he didn't see him go home, still staring at the scene.

Wei Lan searched for a long time before finding Gu Chao, just like Gu Sande, covered in mud, and the clothes on his body were soaked as if he had just rolled in the mud.

Wei Lan wrung her eyebrows and shouted, standing on the ridge and shouting, "Comrades have worked hard!" Grandma Gu boiled ginger soup for everyone, come over and drink a bowl to warm up when it's cold! ”

The words "warm up" Wei Lan stared at Gu Chao and said, gritting her teeth, and her voice almost squeezed out from between her teeth.

Unexpectedly, Gu Sande ran the fastest.

The first one stood beside Wei Lan, took the initiative to take the basket containing the bowls, and waved his hand while handing out the bowls for everyone to line up, "The four mothers are kind-hearted, and I feel sorry for you juniors, you can't forget this love!" ”

The young men in the team rushed up, and the male intellectuals who were basically frozen stupid also squeezed over with sluggish steps.

One by one, they pinched the bowls and stretched them out to Wei Lan, and finally poured a full bowl, and when they touched each other, the bowl of ginger soup was quickly knocked over.

Gu Sande's face sank, and he muttered: "What are you squeezing?" What are you squeezing? All lined up, everyone has it, ran away from yours? ”

Gu Chao washed the mud off his face and head with the stream, and soon strode over to take Gu Sande's place.

Gu Chao took out a bowl from the basket and stretched it out in front of Wei Lan.

Wei Lan glared at him, "Didn't you hear the captain say that he wanted to line up?" ”

What kind of work can't be done by so many people? Do you have to fight so hard? It's like a mud monkey......

In that case, let's go and freeze on the side.

Wei Lan snorted and turned around to pour a bowl of ginger soup for Li Wenwen.

"Nan Nan ......" Gu Chao opened his mouth, and it sounded that this was outside, and there were so many people around, he hurriedly changed his mouth, "It's for the captain." ”

Wei Lan made a small face and poured the bowl in his hand.

Originally, she wanted to wait for Gu Chao to say a few soft words to her, so she went down the steps.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chao took the bowl and went straight to the side to find Gu Sande.

Wei Lan's pink lips were pouted, the ginger soup was divided into a round, and there was not much left in the pot, but Gu Chao was still standing in the mud pit and talking to Gu Sande.

Wei Lan snorted angrily and stamped his feet.

At this time, a bowl was handed over, and Wei Lan didn't look at who it was, and subconsciously filled the bowl.

"Wei Zhiqing, just now, did Gu Chao call you just now?" It was a young man in the team, named Li Xu.

Li Xu didn't rush to leave with the ginger soup, and stood in front of Wei Lan with a flushed face.

Wei Lan didn't know Li Xu at all, and she was angry with Gu Chao in her heart, her delicate little face was stiff, and she didn't speak politely, "No, you heard it wrong, let it go after the fight, and there are others who want it later." ”

Hearing Wei Lan's denial, Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Obediently staggered to the side, Li Xu's muddy big hand scratched the back of his head helplessly, a little shy, "The next words may be a little abrupt, but I still want to ask, does Wei Zhiqing have a partner?" ”

"It's ...... to you"

As soon as Wei Lan spoke, before she finished her sentence, she saw Gu Chao, who was like a mud monkey, walking towards her with a calm face.

Gu Chaogang discussed with Gu Sande, the work was almost done, and he was going to go home, but when he turned around, he saw Li Xu talking to Wei Lan.

Gu Chaodeng's breath sank, and he didn't even bother to say hello to Gu Sande, he turned his head and walked towards Wei Lan's side, and as soon as he approached, he just heard Li Xu's words in his ears.

"She has." The green tendons on Gu Chao's forehead bulged, and a footstep crossed in front of Li Xu, and his deep eyes swept towards Li Xu coldly, like a wolf who had been violated to protect his cubs.

Gu Chao was half a head taller than Li Xu, and the anger on his body suddenly skyrocketed, so startled that Li Xu took two steps back, and he almost couldn't hold the bowl in his hand.

Li Xu's face turned red, and he couldn't say a word, "Yes, yes?" No, I don't know who Wei Zhiqing's object is? ”

Li Xu said this, and staggered a step to go to Wei Lan behind Gu Chao.

However, Li Xu staggered one step, and Gu Chao responded to him, and he also staggered one step, blocking Wei Lan tightly.

Everyone else around them turned their eyes.

Li Wenwen pushed Fan Xiao's shoulder, "Do you want to go out and help say a few words?" It's a bad thing to go on like this, right? ”

Wei Lan and Gu Chao's affairs with the object, the educated youth of the Zhiqing Point are basically clear, but everyone is tight-lipped about the united front and does not want to say it outside.

After all, Gu Chao's family is disgraceful, as long as he can keep his mouth on this matter, if the two of them break up in the future, fewer people will know about it, and it will be easier to calm it down.

Now, if you allow things to happen, you will have to show your stuff if you don't do it.

Among the male intellectuals, Fan Xiao acted steadily and was always the one who made up his mind.

Seeing that he bowed his head and didn't speak, Li Wenwen asked again, "I really don't care?" ”

Fan Xiao rubbed his fingers and drank all the ginger soup in the bowl, as if he had made a decision and taken a step, but there was a new movement on Gu Chao's side.

Li Xu saw that Gu Chao had been in the middle, and the timidity that had been intimidated for a moment just now was swept away, and he said shyly: "Gu Chao, this matter is Wei Zhiqing's business, you should let Wei Zhiqing say, why are you meddling?!" What kind of character are you!? ”

"Just because I am—" Gu Chao took a step forward, and swallowed the words to his lips.

If others knew that Wei Lan was talking to him, he would leave a message and gossip, and those vicious words would slander Wei Lan.

He pursed his lips, breathing heavily, and suddenly lost his words.

Can't say, can't say yet.

Seeing Gu Chao like this, Li Xu felt a little more confident in his heart.

If Gu Chao also pursued Wei Zhiqing, in all fairness, removing the hat of ingredients, Li Xu was really not sure that he would be able to win over Gu Chao.

But now it seems that Gu Chao is still self-aware.

Li Xu raised his confidence, just as Wei Lan poked his head out from behind Gu Chao, and his pale little face was full of watery peach blossom eyes.

Li Xu's heart rippled, "Wei Zhiqing, you ......"

"Just because he's my object." Wei Lan's fingers poked at Gu Chao's body, poking at the cold and black mud, she retracted her hand in disgust, turned her head and looked around to find something to wipe the mud off her hands.

The sentence "Just because he is my object" shocked Gu Chao's ears, his waist straightened, and he felt proud and energetic at this moment.

The bulging muscles in his shoulders trembled with excitement as if sensing his master's mood.

Gu Chao condescendingly looked at Li Xu, "Heard?" ”

Li Xu looked at the two of them in astonishment, speechless in shock.

Gu Chao didn't think so, and his fierce warning gaze swept over everyone present, among these people, more than one Li Xu had careful thoughts about Wei Lan.

More people keep their minds in their hearts.

Only Li Xu, who usually can't get close to Wei Lan, will take such an opportunity to ask loudly.

Gu Chao retracted his gaze, as if announcing his ownership, slightly bent his knees to carry Wei Lan on his shoulders, and turned his steps to walk in the direction of home.

"What are you doing? Let me go! You're so dirty! It stinks to death!! Wei Lan lay on Gu Chao's shoulder, straightening up, for fear of getting mud, but she didn't last long, her chin hit Gu Chao's back, and the mud on her chin kept drilling into her nose.

Wei Lan felt nausea in his stomach, and he retched a few times on Gu Chao's shoulder, and a touch of red appeared at the end of his eyes.

Uncomfortable physiological tears came out, but nothing could be spit out.

Wei Lan patted Gu Chao on the shoulder to come down, but Gu Chao, who had always taken care of her emotions, was a little abnormal today, and carried her back without saying a word.

There was no appeasement, no consolation, only silence.

……

As long as Gu Chao carried Wei Lan's back into a small dot and quickly disappeared into the shadow of the tree, everyone by the stream could find their jaws that had been shocked.

"Hell, is she crazy? Dare to ...... in front of so many people" Li Wenwen cursed in a low voice, and finally the voice disappeared under Fan Xiao's meaningful gaze.

Fan Xiao lowered his eyes, and his voice was faint, "You seem to have paid special attention to Wei Lan recently. ”

Li Wenwen was stunned for a moment and said, "We are all educated youths in the countryside, shouldn't we take care of each other?" ”

"Really?" Fan Xiao looked up and smiled at him.

Li Wenwen choked, and naturally looked away.

Fan Xiao understood in his heart, and did not continue to ask, but raised his voice to everyone around him: "Everyone put away the bowl after drinking the ginger soup, and remember to return the bowl after the busy work." ”

Things happened suddenly, not to mention the bowls and baskets, the big teapot in Wei Lan's hand fell halfway.

*

Gu Chao carried Wei Lan into the courtyard all the time before putting it down.

Wei Lan's eyes were red, she couldn't stand on the ground, and she squatted crookedly and kept retching.

Gu Chao didn't say a word, Ling's lips pursed into a straight line, and he accompanied Wei Lan to squat in the courtyard.

Grandma Gu came out when she heard the movement, and when she saw two people dressed as mud monkeys in the courtyard, her heart jumped to her throat, and she greeted her with her little feet, "This, what's wrong?" Fell? ”

"It's fine." Gu Chao didn't raise his head.

"Grandma, he bullied me!" Wei Lan suddenly cried out, pointed at Gu Chao with trembling fingers, and began to complain to Grandma Gu.

"This mud is all over me, it stinks! Gross-"

Wei Lan retched as she spoke.

Grandma Gu didn't know what was going on, thinking that Gu Chao was like a little doll who didn't do anything, picking up mud and throwing Wei Lan when she was working.

"You skull-chopping skull!" Grandma Gu was angry, turned her head to look left and right, and finally picked up an angular piece of firewood from under the windowsill, and began to greet Gu Chao on his back without saying anything.

Gu Chao squatted there, still holding Wei Lan's hand in his hand, supporting Wei Lan, Grandma Gu beat him, he didn't hide, let alone argue.

After two strokes, Wei Lan couldn't do it, and stretched out her hand to stop it with red eyes, "Grandma, no, I said nonsense, Brother Chao didn't bully me!" ”

Although Wei Lan was angry with Gu Chao for making himself dirty and smelly, he couldn't see him beaten.

Especially Gu Chao's clothes are wet, and it is cold when it is attached to his body, and it hurts even more when he hits it.

Seeing Grandma Gu's look of disbelief and non-stopping, Wei Lan shuddered and excused: "I, my clothes are wet, cold, so cold, so cold......"

"What are you still doing? Hurry up and get into the house and don't get cold! Grandma Gu threw away the firewood in her hand and asked Gu Chao to help Wei Lan into the house.

Gu Chao sent Wei Lan back to the room, and then brought the small stove in the kitchen to Wei Lan's side, and after he was done, he turned around and walked out of the room.

"Grandma, you boil more hot water, and you will have to take a bath in a while."

Grandma Gu nodded, "I know, you go back to the house to change your clothes, soak up the dirty clothes, and wash them when you go back." ”

Gu Chao replied in a low voice, bowed down and went to the backyard, threw the wooden bucket into the well and dragged up a bucket of water.

Wei Lan saw it really in the house, thinking that Gu Chao's eyes were boiling water, and he didn't go to his heart, but the next moment, he saw Gu Chao raise the water head above his head, and then dumped it......

The water poured on his body and splashed on the ground, and the droplets flew far away.

Crazy? Take a cold shower on such a cold day?

Wei Lan "snapped" open the window, her eyes were red and she shouted, "What are you doing?" You are crazy! ”

Grandma Gu also heard that something was wrong with the sound of the water, and when she came out to take a look, she almost didn't stand still holding on to the door frame, "You, you skull-chopping person, really, this is going to make me angry!" ”

Gu Chao had a calm face, ignored it, flushed two more buckets of water, and entered the house with a body of water stains.

"What are you doing here?" Wei Lan stopped him halfway, he stared at Wei Lan with bated breath and lowered his eyes for a while, Ling pursed his lips, and staggered Wei Lan to his room.

He didn't change his clothes, he took out the bathtub from the room, put on the wet clothes, and brushed the tub in the courtyard.

Unlike every time he was gentle and careless before, today's Gu Chao's temper was out of order.

Wearing wet clothes on such a cold day, it seems that he is suffering alone, but it actually hurts the hearts of the two people around him.

Grandma Gu saw that there was a conflict between Gu Chao and Wei Lan, she persuaded her to no avail, looked at her heart and blinked, and simply let go back to the house, not caring about anything.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you want to do this? ”

"Is there something to say?"

From the beginning of the rage to the current helplessness, however, Gu Chao was still indifferent.

Wei Lan was so anxious that she burst into tears, "You go back to the room to change your clothes first, okay?" It's so cold and I'm really sick for a while......"
