Grandma Gu added another portion according to the amount of Gu Chao's rice, boiled a large pot of porridge, and served a large bowl of Yanyi.

This was not enough, Grandma Gu pushed the fried peanuts on the table to Yanyi again.

When Wei Lan saw it, he hurriedly turned the peanuts and pickles around.

"You girl, what are you doing?" Grandma Gu glanced at Wei Lan dissatisfied, "If you want to eat, put some into the bowl, this ......"

"Grandma!" Embarrassed to smile at Yanyi, Wei Lan explained to Grandma Gu: "He is allergic to peanuts and can't eat peanuts." ”

Afraid that Grandma Gu wouldn't be able to understand what allergies were, Wei Lan thought about it and added: "If you eat peanuts, he will have shortness of breath and rashes on his body, in short, it's very uncomfortable!" So...... It's better not to give him these peanuts. ”

Last winter, what Cheng Aiying said, Wei Lan has always remembered in his heart.

After all, Grandma Gu understands medical science, and after listening to Wei Lan's general description, she classified allergies with "peach blossom ringworm" in her heart.

On the other side, Wei Lan's voice fell, and the two men at the table invariably glanced at her sideways, with mixed feelings.

Wei Lan didn't know it, so she scooped two small spoonfuls of small pickles into a bowl with a small spoon and mixed them, and finally scooped up a spoonful of porridge, pouted and blew lightly.

Seeing that Gu Chao beside him didn't move, and where everyone couldn't see under the table, Wei Lan kicked him lightly.

Gu Chao turned his head sideways and looked at her.

Wei Lan's head tilted, covered his ears and lowered his voice, "Why don't you eat?" Not in the same mood? I'll make you some cool skin in the evening......"

Gu Chao also tilted his head and lowered his voice, "I don't like to eat cold skin." ”

No, don't like to eat?

Could it be that you have eaten too many times and are tired of eating?

Wei Lanhu was suspicious for a moment, his clear peach blossom eyes blinked, and he said, "Then, I'll make you hot and sour noodles?" Add a small canola and peanuts, three spoonfuls of chili sauce, you specify to like! ”

Gu Chao's brows furrowed even tighter, but he turned his head away, "I don't like spicy food either." ”

Wei Lan: ?

Don't like spicy food? What about liars!

Some time ago, I sent a jar of chili sauce to the sea market, but I don't know who was holding the jar of chili sauce and refused to let go.

If Wei Lan couldn't see Gu Chao's little emotions anymore, then she, then she would be ......

It's a big spoon.

(H province put it down, spoon = fool, fool.) ）

Gu Chao stomped on the bottom of the table, Wei Lan snorted and sat up straight and continued to eat.

It was Gu Chao, Wei Lan's foot made him defenseless, and he "hissed" when he landed, curled up his calves and wanted to rub them, but he didn't expect that his legs were too long, his knees went up, and the small table trembled.

Grandma Gu threw the knife over, "Have a nail on your buttocks?" ”

Wei Lan laughed, Grandma Gu's eyes fell on her instantly, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly sat down, not daring to move, let alone aiming at it.

Breakfast ended in a hurry, and Gu Chao walked out one after another with a hoe and Yanyi.

Wei Lan followed Yan Yi's side and told with concern: "You can't use your strength for this injury, and you can't touch the water......

After thinking about it, Wei Lan said again: "There is a high probability that the big canteen will fry spicy eel at noon, and then you let Zhang Xiaokui come here and make do with the family,"

Yan Yi's eyebrows furrowed and loosened, "It's not improvised." ”

Then he turned around and left first.

Leng was a little indifferent, but he didn't say anything.

Wei Lan didn't care about Yanyi's indifference, turned his head to look at Gu Chao who was staring at him, and raised his black and slender eyebrows.

Wei Lan sipped her promise, but asked deliberately without smiling, "What are you doing?" Don't go to the ground? ”

Gu Chao didn't speak, just stood at the door with a hoe, looking straight at her with a pair of deep eyes.

Wei Lan was uncomfortable with him, but she was a little angry, "It's unreasonable, you brought the person here, I bandaged and cooked according to your wishes, but now you blame me?" ”

After speaking, Yin Hong's lips pursed and glared at Gu Chao fiercely, Wei Lan turned his head and left.

Gu Chao took a step into the house, grabbed Wei Lan with his hand, and said in a deep tone: "I don't blame you." ”

Gu Chao knew in his heart that Wei Lan didn't mean that to Yanyi, and before bringing Yanyi over, he had also made mental preparations.

But he didn't know what was wrong with him, and when he saw Wei Lan asking Yan Yi for warmth, he always felt uncomfortable in his heart.

That kid just had a slight wrist injury, and if it was serious, he would definitely go to the hospital......

What did he do to bring people back?

Gu Chao felt that he would have this kind of emotion, and he should blame himself for it, but he really shouldn't mess with Wei Lan.

He's an adult, he's a man, he's not a three- or two-year-old child.

After a moment of silence, Gu Chao let go of the hand that grabbed Wei Lan, "It's okay." ”

As he spoke, he picked up his hoe and walked out.

Wei Lan's peach blossom eyes trembled twice, and he didn't understand the change of Gu Chao when he came over.

But almost subconsciously, Wei Lan grabbed Gu Chao's arm with his backhand, and put his other hand on Gu Chao's shoulder.

Taking a slight step forward, Wei Lan stood on tiptoe and pecked him on the chin.

Like a dragonfly, light and fast, for a short moment, Wei Lan took a step back and pushed Gu Chao out.

"Okay, let's come back at noon today? I'll do it for you alone. ”

Wei Lan's cheeks were red, and the pale pink eyes at the end of her eyes were sparkling as if they had been injected with spring water.

is obviously a shy posture of a daughter's family, but it is like a flower blooming on the branches, beautiful and delicate, attracting people to want to take a step closer, one step closer.

Gu Chao stretched out his hand and wanted to pull Wei Lan to continue to get tired, but Wei Lan jumped away first.

"Grandma!"

"Hey!"

Wei Lan shouted in the direction of the kitchen, and Grandma Gu responded.

Gu Chao slowly withdrew his hand and looked at Wei Lan with resentment, "Nannan, you have learned badly." ”

Wei Lan puffed out her cheeks, smiled and urged, "Okay, let's go, I'll have to blow the trumpet in the field in a while!" ”

Only then did Gu Chao put away his thoughts about fighting, said "um" softly, picked up the hoe and walked out.

Wei Lan bolted the courtyard door, patted her face, rolled up her sleeves and walked into the house, "Okay, let's start working now!" ”

Before he took two steps, the door of the courtyard behind him was slapped with a "bang".

"Hello."

It was Gu Chao's voice.

Wei Lan hurriedly opened the door, and sure enough, it was Gu Chao.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I forgot to give you this." Gu Chao took out two letters from his arms and stuffed them to Wei Lan, and then walked back as he spoke, "I'm in the field." ”

The letter was brought back from the post office in the morning, and I originally thought that I would hand it over to Wei Lan when I came back, because the matter of Yanyi was delayed for a while, and then I forgot about it.

I just walked to the road and touched my pocket, and then I remembered.

"Oh......" Wei Lan hesitated to look at the two letters in his hand.

One was sent by Beijing, Wei Xueliangluo's money.

The other letter was sent by Haishi, and the payer was Xie Jinghong.

Unlike Wei Xueliang's letter, Xie Jinghong's letter is very thick.

Wei Lan pinched it and felt it, Mo was about a thousand yuan as thick as Grandpa Mao.

Are you sure it's a letter? Not a diary?

Xie Jinghong's letter was addressed to Gu Chao, and Wei Lan locked the letter in a drawer and sat by the window to open his own letter.

One piece of letterhead, two pieces of unity (two pieces of ten yuan), and a number of finely broken bills.

Wei Lan brushed the money ticket aside, shook off the letter and looked at it carefully.

As in the past, the old cadres began with the formulaic "Comrade Wei Lan, a dear soldier of the people", and later Wei Xueliang probably asked Wei Lan about his current situation, and then he said something about Wei Lin's situation.

Wei Xueliang said that Wei Lin has insisted on drinking the rice wine brewed by Grandma Gu since the beginning of the year, and he dare not say that it has a great effect, but it is indeed effective, at least, his face looks a little bloody.

And Wei Lin's body has improved, and the Song family is also very happy, and even vigorously and urgently hopes that Wei Lin and Song Qi can get married as soon as possible.

Wei Lan saw it, the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising, but when she saw the last paragraph of the letter, the corners of her mouth drooped and her lips pursed.

In that sentence, two words are the most conspicuous:

"Looking forward to returning."

The envelope was close to his chest, Wei Lan frowned, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "I hope to return to ......"

Where is the problem of returning to the home?

It is to want to return, but not to return.

Pat your face and stuff the letter back into the envelope and put it at the bottom of the drawer.

Wei Lan pulled out a piece of letter again, the pen was full of ink, and after thinking about it for a long time, he jumped out one by one to write a reply.

After writing the reply, Wei Lan found the envelope and enveloped it, and then pressed it under the book and got up to go out to work.

At noon, Gu Chao came back to eat, he likes spicy food, and he has eaten cold skin too many times before, and he is probably tired of eating.

Wei Lan hesitated to make hot and sour noodles, thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to make hot and sour noodles.

She knows how to cook some spicy dishes, but there are not so many things at the moment, and what she has at home is only enough to make hot and sour noodles.

Grandma Gu has cleaned up the kitchen, and everything has been put in the corresponding place, and everything is clean.

Wei Lan scooped two bowls of sweet potato flour from the bag under the cupboard, having the experience of the last time, this time it was much smoother.

Mix the paste, boil the water, take advantage of the time when the water in the pot is boiling, go to the backyard well and get half a bucket of water, wash the wooden basin that you don't usually use, and set it aside.

After finishing this, the water in the pot was also boiling, Wei Lan took the bamboo tube that was usually used for watering flowers, and poured the adjusted batter into the bamboo tube, and the batter flowed out from the small hole at the bottom.

Wei Lan grabbed it with his hands, ran all the way to the stove, uncovered the lid of the pot, and took the initiative to rotate back and forth at a distance of more than ten centimeters from the water surface.

The batter flows into the pot and is quickly cooked in hot water to form a cylindrical strip of sweet potato flour.

The bamboo tube is as long as Wei Lan's palm, the wrist is thick, a bamboo tube batter is used up, and the amount of sweet potato flour formed in the pot is considerable.

After covering the pot and simmering for a while, Wei Lan picked out the sweet potato flour with chopsticks, transferred it to a freshly washed wooden basin, and soaked it in cold water.

Put it in a place with a low temperature, and it will not be bad for at least two or three days this day.

If it can be dried, it will last longer.

In the same way, it was already two hours later to make a whole pot of batter.

Wei Lan wiped a handful of sweat, brought the basin to the small kitchen table and put it on it, and covered the basin with a bamboo whip dustpan that is usually used for scooping rice, so as to prevent kittens and mice from coming over to spoil things, and also to prevent dirty things from falling in.

After finishing this, Wei Lan tied her hair back into a high ponytail, and then didn't stop, but moved a chair and a small bench to the backyard yard wall.

Stacking the bench on the chair, Wei Lan went to the small shed where the farm tools were placed and turned out a small hoe.

The arms are long and the two ends are pointed, which is the sharp-beaked hoe that Grandma Gu usually uses to grow vegetables.

The head of the courtyard wall is connected to the bamboo forest ground, Wei Lan stepped on the chair, first threw the hoe over, and then climbed the wall with both hands, stepped on the small bench and pedaled for a long time before climbing over.

Wei Lan sat on the ground, raised his hand to wipe a handful of sweat, gasped twice, and swept to the small courtyard in front of him, and subconsciously moved back.

It had to be two meters above the ground in the backyard, and if you didn't pay attention to the fall, it would be a concussion.

After sitting for a while, Wei Lan picked up the hoe and walked deep into the bamboo forest.

Wei Lan, the bamboo forest of the Gu family, came in person for the first time, and it turned out that she heard Gu Chao say that there were cats and bamboos in the bamboo forest, but she didn't know where it was.

The body of the arrow bamboo can grow up to about five centimeters thick, and the bamboo shoots are more slender, which is very suitable for making the tip of the bamboo shoots.

And cat bamboo, cat bamboo is also called bamboo, the highest can grow to more than 20 meters, the bamboo itself has to have a 20 to centimeter thickest, its bamboo shoots, from the beginning of the soil out of the tip, it is four or five times thicker than the bamboo shoots next to the arrow.

There are many ways to make bamboo shoots, such as stir-fried meat with tender bamboo shoots, pork rib soup with bamboo shoots, braised bamboo shoots in oil, and sour bamboo shoots, etc.

Because of the large size of cat bamboo shoots, the bamboo shoots are also wider and longer than other types of bamboo shoots.

In some places, the Dragon Boat Festival cannot be found, or there is no place where zongzi leaves grow, so they will use the bamboo shoots of cats and bamboos to serve as zongzi leaves.

Bamboo grows intensively in the bamboo forest, and the sun shines in the dark shadows.

Wei Lan stopped and walked all the way, his eyes wandered around, and sure enough, he saw knee-high and thick-legged cat bamboo shoots in an open place in front of him.

"Found it!"

The corners of Wei Lan's mouth were raised, and he rushed over.

When I walked in, I found that the reason why it suddenly opened up and there was a large area of sunlight pouring in was because of the peach trees planted in this area.

Bamboo is tenacious in life and grows extremely fast, and cat bamboo still maintains the smallest floor area in the bamboo forest, not without reason.

The Gu family's peach balls are in the middle of the bamboo forest, and the small peach balls, Wei Lan has counted, a total of nine peach trees, standing in two rows, staggered.

In order to prevent it from occupying the territory of the peach tree and snatching nutrients and water from the peach tree, Gu Chao will take measures every year.

Of course, this measure is more drastic.

Gu Chao: Pouted it.

Some of the bamboo shoots that were pouted were "thrown away" into the barren (bamboo) wild (forest), and some were served to the table by Grandma Gu.

Wei Lan looked back and forth a few times, and first picked up a bamboo shoot closest to the peach tree to excavate.

Normally, bamboo shoots can be broken with a little force, but Wei Lan knows that bamboo is an underground stem, and the shallowest growth is also from a place twenty centimeters below the ground.

If the slender bamboo shoots of the arrow bamboo are enough, the cat bamboo is large, and the part below the ground is estimated to be able to fry two or three plates, and it is a pity to break it directly is equivalent to throwing away that part.

Wei Lan didn't have the confidence to dig twenty centimeters deep underground, but even if he only dug five centimeters, it would reduce some of the waste, wouldn't it?
