Gu Chao's lips rose slightly, and he folded the letterboard board that he originally wanted to fold up at will.

Just as there was shouting and talking outside the door, Wei Lan listened sideways, knowing that someone from the family was coming, but he couldn't really hear the content of the conversation.

Wei Lan got up and walked out, going out to see the situation.

Gu Chao got up, but before he could stand still, he sat back again when he thought of something.

Pulling out the letter paper that had just been stuffed into it and not covering it hot, he spread it out, and after thinking about it for a moment, Gu Chao added a few more words at the end of it before stuffing it back into the envelope.

Gu Chao packed the things to be sent out in the house, most of the things were prepared by Wei Lan before, he only needed to pack them and put them away, and wait for tomorrow to go out and send them together.

Gu Chao was busy here, and in the front yard on the other side, Wei Lan rushed to follow Grandma Gu's side, "Grandma, is what Aunt Hongmei said just now true?" Is that why I can go too? ”

Grandma Gu glanced at her angrily, "You were next to you just now, didn't you listen?" ”

Wei Lan believed that a jumping old man Gao clenched his hands into fists excitedly, "I've grown so big, I really haven't picked tea!" ”

After being excited for a while, I turned around and saw Grandma Gu going to carry firewood under the windowsill, and Wei Lan trotted over, chattering like a little housebird:

"Grandma, I'm an educated youth, and I'm not a member of the Gu family yet, so are we just two heads? I can pick one more tea leaf than others! ”

Just now, Li Hong's mother-in-law, Zhang Hongmei, came to inform her that this year, because of the sunflower seed plan, the brigade has a formal side business, and in order to motivate everyone, the marginalized side business of tea in previous years will be allowed to pick tea leaves for a day on the day of the valley rain in the middle of the month.

There can only be one person in a family, although Wei Lan now lives in the Gu family and has an object relationship with Gu Chao, but after all, it has not yet been completed, and it is still regarded as an independent quota for educated youth.

In other words, when the time comes, Wei Lan can go to pick tea leaves with Grandma Gu.

And the brothers and sisters Jiang Cheng and Jiang Lihua in the educated youth point, although they are both educated youths, but because they are relatives, they can only go alone.

Wei Lan couldn't hide the smile on her face, looking forward to the upcoming tea picking experience, and she was happy to get an extra tea leaf.

"What do you want to do with the tea leaves? Does grandma still stir-fry tea? ”

"Yes, yes, but maybe it's different from the way it is fried in the city."

The firewood that Grandma Gu was holding was piled too high, and one or two fell to the ground and were picked up by Wei Lan behind her.

"The frying method in the village is the same, the tea leaves are picked up to remove sundries and old leaves, and they are fried in a pot over low heat." Grandma Gu smiled and continued: "Most of the tea fried by the elderly sister-in-law is delicious, and the little daughter-in-law can't grasp the heat well, and her hands will be burned if she doesn't pay attention to it." ”

Grandma Gu walked out with firewood, and Wei Lan also followed behind with a small bundle, listening very seriously.

Wei Lan has never seen fried tea, and only heard about some folk fried tea artists on Internet posts, and fried tea is also a craft and the like.

When I heard it, I felt very high.

"We roast tea at home on the stove, no better than the pot that people specialize in roasting tea......" The firewood was piled up at the mouth of the stove, and Wei Lan helped Grandma Gu to sit down on the pony.

Seeing that she was curious, Grandma Gu couldn't help but say a few more words, "This fried tea, you have to use a very small fire, I'm afraid that after the heat, the color of the fried tea is not good, and it doesn't taste fragrant and bitter and astringent......"

"It's said to be fried tea, but in fact, it's more like kneading according to the action, kneading the top and copying the low, repeatedly, evenly heated to avoid pasting the pot."

Speaking of the back, Grandma Gu stretched out her hand, and her rough index finger bent up and knocked on Wei Lan's forehead twice, "Don't be too happy, the tea is not so easy to pick." ”

Wei Lan pouted in disbelief and snorted, "Isn't it just picking off the tea leaves?" Grandma, don't bluff me! ”

I usually pinch the thumb-thick vegetable moss on my own ground, and there is no reason to be stumped by the tea stalk like a matchstick.

Wei Lan didn't believe in evil, and raised her chin squeamishly, "Look, grandma, I'm going to pick such a basket, ah no!" It's such a big basket! ”

Wei Lan gestured as she spoke, and was dissatisfied again at the end, "No, no, no...... I have to ask Brother Chao to vacate the big basket of food at home for me! ”

Grandma Gu laughed at her for being a fool.

Wei Lan's temperament, Grandma Gu knows very well, once Wei Lan identifies something, it is useless for others to say more, she has to wait for her own personal experience, and wait for her to endure hardships before she is willing to believe the truth.

simply didn't say more, Grandma Gu waved her hand to let Wei Lan make trouble.

It's almost time, and it's time for her to pack up and get ready to make dinner.

After eating a closed door at Grandma Gu's place, Wei Lan turned his head and went to find Gu Chao.

After chattering about it, she complained to Gu Chao about her grievances at the end, and Grandma Gu ignored her.

Tea picking does not require much skill, but it requires ten percent patience, not all the leaves of a tea tree are fried into "tea leaves", but only the young leaves and tender tips at the top of the branches, so you need to pick a little bit when picking.

And Wei Lan ......

She said she wanted to pack the tea leaves in a large frame.

After hearing this, Gu Chao looked at the sky and suddenly felt that life was so difficult.

After pulling and pulling for a long time, in the end, Gu Chao didn't give Wei Lan a big frame in the end, but only picked out one at random from the mini bamboo basket that Wei Lan usually carries, shook off the dust and put it on the table.

Gu Chaoling's lips pursed into a straight line slightly, and he carefully pondered the rhetoric in his heart before he spoke: "Let's use this first, the mountain bag tea trees are dense, and the back frame is not easy to walk." ”

Wei Lan's lips opened slightly and did not speak, as if she was thinking about the wording.

Gu Chao was afraid that she would say something earth-shattering, so he hurriedly said: "When the time comes, if you fill it up, let Youlan come back and tell me, I will send you the big frame, and it will be the same if you pour it in." ”

Wei Lan pondered in his heart for a moment, and felt that this would be fine.

Although it was a little troublesome, Gu Chao was right, she knew that the tea tree did grow intensively, and the new branches that emerged in the spring were poked onto the trail, and it was difficult for people to walk, not to mention carrying a big guy.

"Okay then." Wei Lan nodded and agreed with Gu Chao's proposal.

At the same time, Gu Chao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, Wei Lan listened to the persuasion, otherwise he would have been laughed at and died if he really carried a big frame out at that time?

With Wei Lan's temperament, he was really annoyed, and he was afraid that he would overturn the roof.

It's okay......

Early the next morning, Gu Chao sent the letter and the package together, and then rode his bicycle to the black market.

Wei Lan needs transparent canned food bottles, and when he came to the town to fetch goat's milk two days ago, he mentioned it to Yam, and Yam said that he would help pay attention to it.

Come here today, just to ask about the results, if you can't receive it or don't receive it well, you can also make other plans early.

There were pedestrians on the road, and Gu Chao was riding a bicycle, and the wheels were spinning rapidly.

Ahead is the entrance to the corner of Badao Lane, he plucked the bicycle bell with his thumb, and subconsciously shouted: "Let go, let let ......"

……

"You walk slowly."

On the third trading street of Haishi, Xie Jinghong, who was dressed in a blue robe, stood at the door, smiling and watching the man in a suit get into the car.

Immediately afterwards, the black silk red flag CA770 was started from the door of the foreign company, and gradually went farther and farther.

The smile on Xie Jinghong's face gradually retracted, his eyes were cold, and he was about to turn around when a voice stopped him.

"Little Brother Xie, wait, wait!"

Xie Jinghong turned around, and a prickly young man ran over with a shoulder bag.

The young man was covered in dirty white underwear, and he was wearing a shabby army-green gown, and a simple symbol was embroidered on the left chest of the gown.

That's the post office marking.

Xie Jinghong smiled lightly at the door, "You actually went into the post office to work?" Tell me about it? If she knew, she would be glad. ”

The post office is a state-owned industry, and it is great to be able to enter the iron rice bowl of workers in the current era.

The prickly boy is named Haigen, and he lives in an alley with Xie Jinghong.

To say that Xie Jinghong is a young man and an old man, and the city government is very deep, Haigen, a person who can't be a helper at all, he won't take the initiative to deal with it at all, but the two of them have become friends.

The reason for all this is because of the blind lady in Hagan.

When he was a child, Xie Jinghong was always well-behaved and never messed around in front of people because he was carrying too many things, but after all, he was a big child, and he always missed his mother.

Xie Jinghong didn't dare to mention the old things in front of Old James, so he could only hide in the corner and cry secretly when he was alone.

However, while missing his mother, the picture of the bloody washing of the house also flashed in his mind, and Xie Jinghong cried even more sadly.

It was also by chance that when Xie Jinghong was crying, Haigenniang groped to his side and asked to comfort him......

Xie Jinghong felt warmth in Haigenniang, but at the same time he was curious and ...... about Haigenniang Craving.

Haigenniang couldn't see, and she groped in the courtyard every day to wash clothes, and Xie Jinghong sat at the gate of the courtyard and looked at it secretly.

He didn't dare to speak out, for fear of scaring Haigenniang, and even more afraid that Haigenniang would kick him out.

This lasted for a long time, until that time, Hagen's grandfather died, and the six-year-old Hagen was sent to Hagen's mother.

Because there was no use for prevention, Xie Jinghong was arrested.

Haigen thought that Xie Jinghong was a thief, and the six-year-old tiger-headed baby raised his fist to beat Xie Jinghong.

Haigenniang, who couldn't see anything in her eyes, stretched out her hand and groped for the frame next to her, and finally said: "It's Jinghong, the baby in the yard." Only then did he persuade Hagan.

It was also at that time that Xie Jinghong learned that Haigenniang had always known that he was by his side.

At that time, Xie Jinghong was only six or seven years old, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, but he only knew that the liver and intestines that were crying "wow" at that time were broken, but it was Haigen, who was at a loss.

Later, Xu is Haigenniang said something to Haigen, and the newcomer Haigen was like a little heel, always following behind Xie Jinghong, and because of his strong appearance, he also frightened back the group of little ghosts who usually bully Xie Jinghong in the alley......

"I haven't told my mother yet!" Hagen rubbed his hair embarrassedly, "The work of delivering letters at the post office is tiring, my mother knows that she must be worried, and I am going to tell her later, when I save some more money." ”

"By the way, I have a letter from you!" Haigen lowered his head and rummaged in the shoulder bag, took out a brown paper envelope and handed it to Xie Jinghong, closed the backpack in an instant and was about to leave, "There is still a bag of letters that have not been delivered, I will leave!" Later, come back to Carney! ”

Xie Jinghong took the letter and glanced at the name casually, it was Gu Chao's.

Xie Jinghong nodded, smiling shyly, "Okay, say hello to my aunt on my behalf." ”

Hagen smiled heartily, waved his hand and ran out, "Yes." ”

Seeing Haigen leave, Xie Jinghong pinched the letter and entered the house.

At this time, it was lunchtime, and there were very few guests in the foreign bank, Xie Jinghong nodded lightly at the middle-aged man in the tunic at the counter, "I'll go to the second floor, I'll look for me if I have something." ”

"Okay, little master." The middle-aged man immediately got up, his body slightly pressed down and arched, very respectful.

Xie Jinghong's long eyebrows flashed lightly, as if he glanced at the middle-aged man inadvertently, and his tone was extremely cold, "Uncle Wu, in the industry, I am just a guy." ”

A drop of cold sweat was left on the corner of Uncle Wu's forehead, and he just wiped it off to change his words, and when he looked up, Xie Jinghong had already walked to the corner of the stairs on the second floor, and soon disappeared.

The second floor of the foreign bank was originally the lounge of the old James, and after the death of the old James, it was converted into a rest bedroom, and Xie Jinghong moved here from the small alley.

Xie Jinghong is very cautious, he has always been a well-behaved doll and a young man's face in front of people, and even this bedroom is poorly furnished and unremarkable.

Let anyone who looks at it feel that he is really just an inconspicuous little guy.

Closing the door with his backhand, Xie Jinghong walked to the table by the window and sat down on a chair.

He stretched out his right hand and swept away, clearing a small area of the messy table top before tearing open the envelope and looking at it.

Gu Chao sent a letter to find him, Xie Jinghong could more or less guess something, but as soon as he spread out the letter, before he began to look at it, his eyes were attracted by the symbol under the letter.

No...... It doesn't seem to be a symbol.

Be......

Is it a smiley face?

Xie Jinghong was slightly stunned, and the idea of passing by seemed to be deeply rooted in an instant, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was a smiling face.

It is impossible for Gu Chao to write...... Draw this kind of thing.

Looking up slowly, the three neat and graceful small Kai looks like they are from the girl's hand.

"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, Amazing Child~" is attached to the end of (-^0^-) smiley face.

Xie Jinghong's little hand rubbed lightly on his smiling face, and he began to read the content of the letter with a little urgency.

It was encouragement from Gu Chao's lover.

Right?

It should be good.

Xie Jinghong's hand holding the letter paper hung down to the table, and his delicate and well-behaved little face suddenly turned out of the window, stunned, as if he had been distracted for a while.

No one knew what he was thinking.

It's just that after a long time, Xie Jinghong's eyes fell back on the letter again, and his hand repeatedly stroked his smiling face, and the more he touched it, the more he felt that the last two lines of vigorous and flowing instructions were a bit of an eyesore.

Or rather, except for the three lines of Na Juanxiu, the words on the entire letter paper are unsightly.

Gu Chao added two sentences at the end of the letter, one of which was to ask Xie Jinghong to pay attention to whether there were any mushroom cultivation or mushroom-related books in Haishi.
