It's not lonely.

Usually Gu Chao said to let her sit down, he came to get it, Wei Lan always had to pull it, and finally Gu Chao's stubbornness ran to the side to sit down, and waited for Gu Chao to coax after he was busy.

Wei Lan behaved abnormally today, Gu Chao wanted to ask what was wrong, but when he raised his eyes and saw her lonely expression, he knew that something was wrong.

Gu Chao squatted in front of Wei Lan, holding her small hand with his big hand and raising it to his chin and rubbing it lightly, "If you have something to tell me, I'll deal with it." ”

Wei Lan raised his head and met his gaze unexpectedly, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Pursing her lips, Wei Lan shook her head lightly, smiling well-behaved and calm, "Hmm...... It's nothing, I'll tell you something. ”

In fact, when he returned to Beijing in April, Wei Lan had privately tried Gu Sande's tone before, and Gu Sande replied very simply:

The sunflower project is at an important juncture, and the personnel involved are also fighting a tough battle to put it bluntly.

The task was heavy, and Gu Sande didn't want either Wei Lan or Gu Chao to be absent.

Returning to the city was basically hopeless, Wei Lan understood the importance of the current situation, but there was still a little loss in his heart.

Gu Chao's eyebrows frowned slightly, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, obviously unconvinced.

Wei Lan grabbed his arm and shook it twice as if flattering, her peach blossom eyes curled up delicately and skillfully, "Really! ”

After thinking of something for a while, Wei Lan said again: "That's right! Are you going to town tomorrow? There are not enough cans and bottles at home, so I want to try to cultivate mycelium in Jiaofangxia in the past two days...... If you go, ask Yatama if you can help collect some canned food bottles...... Ah no, glass bottles are fine, as long as they are so tall and have such a large mouth. ”

Wei Lan said, gesturing with his little hands.

"Okay." Gu Chao nodded, squatted to the side, and sat on the stone pier next to her lap, "Is the plastic film enough, do you want someone to send some from the sea market?" ”

The last review brought back two rolls of plastic film from Haishi, one with a thick forearm, one roll about six meters long and about two meters wide.

Wei Lan saw that it was cut into 40x40 pieces, and the high-temperature sterilized sawdust, deflated grain and other materials were covered in the middle, and then the sawdust containing mycelium in the thumb was taken out from the cultivation management and put into it together, and then tied with hemp rope and put it in a cool place.

Wait for the mycelium in the mushroom bag to gradually crawl all over the bag, cut a small gap in the mushroom bag for mushroom growth, and put it on the backyard shelf to moisturize every day.

After several tests, the two rolls of plastic at home were no longer right, Wei Lan thought about the rest in his heart, and replied decisively, "Yes!" ”

However, listening to Gu Chao talk about the matter over there, Wei Lan couldn't help but be a little curious, "Or who is the person over there?" How did you meet? ”

Gu Chao was silent for a moment, then got up to fetch water and poured it into the kettle, "It's a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy surnamed Xie." ”

Xie Jinghong's life is tortuous, and his identity is still a little dangerous, Gu Chao is afraid that Wei Lan will be worried, so he only picks what he thinks can be said.

"Only thirteen? So small! Wei Lan's peach blossom eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief, "I remember you said that he is the son of the owner of a foreign bank?" ”

"Yes and no, to be precise, an adopted son." Gu Chao bowed his head and said eloquently, "The boss of the foreign company is a foreigner, like you said, a foreigner with silver and gray curly hair and green eyes and a hooked nose. But Xie Jinghong is like us, with black eyes and yellow skin. ”

"His name is Xie Jinghong? The name is quite nice. Wei Lan nodded thoughtfully, and looked sideways at Gu Chao, "Is that foreigner treating him badly?" Otherwise, how could he take such a big risk at such a young age?"

Hearing Wei Lan say that Xie Jinghong's name was good, Gu Chaotuo's hand slowly lowered the curtain and looked back at Wei Lan seriously.

Wei Lan was furious by him, and hurriedly changed his mouth, "Your name is also good!" ”

Gu Chao continued to work at this time.

Gu Chao didn't say whether old James was good or bad for Xie Jinghong, but said: "Old James died in an accident at the beginning of spring, Xie Jinghong's age is not enough to support him to take over the foreign bank, and the Z government has re-identified a candidate to take over...... If he wants to live, of course, he has to take risks. ”

But the fact is: Xie Jinghong's age is indeed not enough to support him to take over the foreign bank, but now, the new receiver of the foreign bank is his person.

In other words, on the surface, the boss of the foreign bank is someone else, but in fact, the boss behind the scenes is Xie Jinghong.

As for Xie Jinghong's life experience, Xie Jinghong once mentioned it to Gu Chao, plus what Gu Chao himself learned, Xie Jinghong's complicated feelings for old James, and even the killer of old James in the end, it is not difficult to imagine:

The young family died at the hands of old James, because he was still young, he was mistaken by the enemy for not remembering, and he was raised by his side as an adopted son.

Maybe old James won't believe it when he is dying, Xie Jinghong has always remembered everything, has always been pretending, and has been ...... are lurking and waiting for an opportunity.

"Hey! Brother Chao, Brother Chao? ”

After screaming a few times and seeing no reaction from Gu Chao, Wei Lan got up and ran over, taking the kettle from him with both hands.

With this action, Gu Chao suddenly woke up.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chao looked sideways at Wei Lan.

Wei Lan raised her eyebrows at his feet, and said angrily: "Do you feel that your shoes are wet?" ”

Gu Chao lowered his head, the half-new cloth shoes were really wet, and there were still a large puddle of water on the surrounding land.

It should have been accidentally poured on when he was distracted just now, and he really didn't feel it at all.

"Out of the way. Did you just say something? ”

Gu Chao glanced at it, and his gaze fell back on Wei Lan.

Wei Lan pursed her lips, "I said, that child's life is hard, and now it's pitiful to be alone, you always entrust others to do things, if you can take care of a little bit, take care of it a little more." ”

Gu Chao nodded, and said "um" if there was nothing.

Wei Lan was satisfied with his reaction, and while his eyes motioned for him to raise the curtain a little higher, he carried the kettle and poured water on it, and muttered in his mouth: "You ask him to help send things over, you have to send a letter and money, right?" In the past two days, let's see if we can lose some specialties and send them together, it's always a thought. ”

The little girl is obviously not very old herself, but she always thinks about other people.

For a child who is not in a good situation, all Wei Lan can think of is that Xie Jinghong lives in a thin economy, and what he eats three times a day may be coarse noodles and miscellaneous grains.

Then, we should refer to the practical ones.

Of course, it is not possible to send food directly.

The care is intentional, and I am afraid that Xie Jinghong will mistake it for "pitiful", so it will directly change the meaning.

"There is still half a jar of chili sauce at home, and I will wait for you to bring back the canned food and bottle tomorrow, and send it to him with a bottle."

Xie Jinghong's life experience, Gu Chao really didn't tell a lie, but Xie Jinghong's current identity, people have money and people in their hands, and these may not be rare.

Gu Chao sighed, not wanting Wei Lan's kindness to be trampled on, so he said in a roundabout way, "Nannan, that half jar of chili sauce, I don't have enough to eat alone, you gave it to him, what should I do?" ”

Wei Lan glanced at Gu Chao directly, "The chili peppers in the field will bloom in the middle of the month soon, and a batch of them will be harvested at the end of the month, and you can eat a big spoonful of the half jar of chili sauce at home until next month." ”

Gu Chao is also a 10,000 yuan household now, and he is still worried about a can of chili sauce, Wei Lan said that he was not stingy, and he said that he would live a life, and in the end he could only attribute it to Gu Chao's mouth.

After all, Gu Chao's love for spicy food is a fact that several people in the Gu family can see.

Gu Chao was speechless for a long time by Wei Lan.

"Nan, this matter ......" After thinking about it again, Gu Chao still wanted to find an opportunity to take a detour of this matter.

However, Wei Lan didn't give him a chance, and just thought about his own arrangement:

"There are still more than half a bag of peanuts at home, and the taste will be bad if you don't finish eating, so you can divide half of them and send them together, right?"

"Ah, yes! When you go to town tomorrow, take the military kettle with you, and come back with some goat's milk, and I'll make some goat's milk rolls and send them over when the time comes! ”

Although goat milk rolls are fine grains, goat milk is cheap, fermented and expanded, and it doesn't cost much except that it takes a little more effort.

Gu Chao didn't speak for a long time, Wei Lan turned his head and winked at him playfully, "In the future, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the big canteen will be busy again, and this small oven at home will not be easy to get again, this time you can beat more goat milk so that the children can eat enough." ”

Wei Lan was full of consideration for everyone, Gu Chao wiped her mind again, nodded and agreed, thought in his heart, turned around and wrote two more sentences in his heart, I hope Xie Jinghong will taste it.

Gu Chao's idea had just settled, but unexpectedly, there was a small accident on the day he wrote the letter.

The bamboo shadow swayed, Gu Chao sat on the chair with his back straight, holding the pen in his slender hand, and then wrote a few words of Comrade Xie Jinghong on the letterhead, and Wei Lan, who had just washed his hair and his hair was half-dried and scattered over his shoulders, walked in.

Gu Chao subconsciously covered the letter paper and dodged.

Wei Lan took out a dry towel from the cabinet and put it on his shoulder, Ben also took this matter seriously, and when he saw Gu Chao's sneaky movements, he was unconsciously vigilant.

"What are you hiding?"

"I didn't hide it."

"Then you show me!" Wei Lan's black eyebrows were raised, and he reached out to grab it, but Gu Chao hurriedly covered the letter and turned it aside.

fluttered into the air, Wei Lan's whole person became sensitive, "You still say no!" ”

Her face was flushed, her eyebrows were bent, her red lips were slightly pursed, and the corners of her mouth drooped, obviously on the verge of rage.

Gu Chao confessed at the moment, and moved his hand away to show her the letter paper that was pressed by him.

The letter begins with the words "Comrade Xie Jinghong", the official tone of an old cadre, and nothing else.

Wei Lan's face turned red and white, and he was speechless for an instant.

It's poisonous!

Just these few words, what is there to hide?

People who have to be rectified misunderstand......

It seems that she is being unreasonable.

Wei Lan's lips squirmed and opened, and he couldn't speak a few times, and then looked at Gu Chao, and his pale face turned uncomfortably red.

"What are you seeing?" Glaring at Gu Chao fiercely, Wei Lan turned around and left.

"Don't be angry." Gu Chao thought she was still angry, so he hurriedly pulled the person back, "I'll write, you watch." ”

Wei Lan's cheeks puffed out, and she turned her head in embarrassment, "Who, who wants to watch it?" I don't look at it! ”

Gu Chao smiled and pulled her to sit down beside her, coaxing and full of pampering, "I want you to watch." ”

His voice was hoarse and indescribably magnetic.

Wei Lan's ears were numb, her face turned red, and she went down the steps, but she still said awkwardly with a small face: "Then, then I'll just sit here." ”

The man sits up straight, holding a pen in his hand, and his handwriting is energetic.

On the side of him, a girl in a Pankou Lake blue shirt put her hands on her cheeks, her clear and round peach blossom eyes wandered aimlessly, sometimes looking out the window, sometimes looking at the man's letterhead......

The old wooden window opened the gap, and the breeze slowly blew into the room, not only the window or the door, "creaking" sound, two people sat by the window to meet the light, the ground was light and the shadows overlapped, intimate......

Gu Chao wrote a letter with just a few items, asking Xie Jinghong to help buy plastic film, and then mentioned the matter of goat milk rolls and chili sauce, and euphemistically mentioned that it was made by his lover and sent it to him to taste.

After that, Gu Chao blew the letter paper, ready to fold it and stuff it into the envelope, Wei Lan's small hand suddenly covered the back of his big hand, "This, this is the end?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Chao nodded honestly, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Not really." A toothache flashed on Wei Lan's face, and Gu Chao's tone in the letter was not too official and old-fashioned, and he looked like he was doing business, not talking to a child at all.

Wei Lan twisted his eyebrows and said, "I think, perhaps, we can add one or two words of encouragement to the letter?" ”

The age of thirteen or fourteen is almost puberty, and if there is no correct guidance, it is easy for children to grow crooked.

If he knows that somewhere in the world, there are still people who care about him and care about him, maybe it will give him more expectations and expectations for tomorrow and the future!

Gu Chao didn't say anything, only pushed the letter paper and pen in front of Wei Lan.

Wei Lan's eyes widened, and her slender index finger pointed at herself with her backhand, "I, I'll write?" ”

Gu Chao nodded.

Wei Lan hesitated and asked, "This, this is not very good, right?" ”

Gu Chao shook his head lightly, pinched the pen and put it in her palm, "The chili sauce, peanuts, and goat's milk rolls are all made by you, if you say a word to him, you can be regarded as acquaintance, and he will remember you." ”

"W-Oh well." Wei Lan was persuaded by Gu Chao.

Her lips were pursed, and the pen was pressed against her chin to think for a while but to no avail, until her eyes fell on the empty teacup on the table, and Wei Lan's brain moved, fluttering and writing a paragraph.

Or rather, a meal of chicken soup for the soul:

Life is like a cup of tea, it will not be bitter for a lifetime, but it will always be bitter for a while.

As long as you are diligent and motivated, the future can be expected!

Come on, children~

After writing this paragraph, Wei Lan paused with the tip of his pen and drew a childlike bracket smile at the end.

The letter paper was pushed back to the front of him, Wei Lan put down the pen, and crossed her hands on her hips with confidence, "How is it?" ”

Gu Chao didn't know what she was proud of, but he only thought that she was happy.

Just after glancing at the letter, Gu Chao's movements slowed down for a moment, his big hand touched the letter, and his thumb rubbed twice on that bracket smile, "Very good." ”

The emoji bracket smiley face has never been seen in this era, Gu Chao thinks it is very cute and vibrant, which makes people feel in a good mood when they see it.
