Chapter 469: Heavy rain is coming
"Three days, just three days, I'll be back, huh?" Gu Chao cautiously promised.
Xie Jinghong has someone at the dock, and because he was the adopted son of old James, the surname on his household registration book is the same as that of old James, which is Stanley, and the name is still Jinghong.
Because of the surname Stanley, Xie Jinghong is easy to contact foreigners, including some businesses, and those who cannot get started by Chinese people at the moment can get convenience through this surname.
Wei Lan understands this period of China's history, and at this time, the country is basically semi-closed, with very little foreign exchange, and most of the currencies exchanged between countries only recognize the US dollar.
If a country has no foreign exchange, it is equivalent to having no money, and without money, it is impossible to introduce all kinds of advanced technology, products, and equipment.
So before Wei Lan gave Gu Chao an idea, follow Xie Jinghong's path, do foreigners' business, and introduce foreign exchange.
Although the country opened up the economy and allowed private livelihood, this kind of people who were at the forefront, who were called self-employed at the beginning, were talked about as capitalism for a long time, although there was no substantial harm due to policy reasons, but Wei Lan did not want Gu Chao to be pointed at.
But if Gu Chao does foreigners' business and introduces foreign exchange to support the country, even if he is self-employed, he is also a self-employed person who is protected by the state all the way, who dares to say more?
Now that she has just caught up with a foreigner, it is the rising period, and she can't stand in the way of Gu Chao.
Wei Lan lowered her head, her pale chin became more and more pointed, she was silent, and finally made a compromise, "Okay." I'm waiting for you at home. ”
*
The night before Gu Chao's departure, the bamboo shadows were swaying, and the moonlight was sultry.
Gu Chao went to bed early, and in the blur, he vaguely felt that someone pushed the door into the room, followed by a sound of rustling and groping.
He has always been alert, and he should have opened his eyes as soon as possible, but because he smelled the familiar fragrance, he stretched out his big hand and pulled the person who was groping by the bed closer to his arms, turned sideways and hugged the person to continue sleeping.
"Brother Chao?"
The man's breathing was steady, unresponsive, and he appeared to be asleep.
Wei Lan propped up her upper body, wrinkled her eyebrows to look at Gu Chao in the moonlight, her little hand groped her hard eyebrows on his face, and then lowered her head and reverently dropped a small kiss on his face.
"Don't make trouble...... Gu Chao was so troubled by her that he had a tendency to raise his head, and reached out and patted her on the back of the waist to stop it.
Wei Lan paused, and in the next second, he continued the action just now, and his slightly cool and soft lips continued to go down, biting Gu Chao's neck.
She is making trouble like this, where can Gu Chao still sleep?
Opening a pair of deep and sharp eyes, under the moonlight, Gu Chao looked at Wei Lan seriously, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”
Know, she wants to be his person.
She's going to be his man.
The little face was silent and pressed against his chest, Wei Lan did not speak, but Gu Chao could feel her resoluteness.
"No regrets?" Deep eyes stared at her small, pointy chin, not daring to go down.
"No regrets!"
Wei Lan's body trembled slightly, and he reacted immediately, and plunged into his arms without hesitation, his slender arms wrapped around his neck, and the slightly cool skin pressed against his hot chest.
She was scared.
Still scared.
I'm afraid that something will happen in case.
Perhaps, only by becoming a person of Gu Chao can she feel at ease.
The soft touch invaded all the senses in his body, Gu Chao's brain "boomed" loudly, his thick and sharp sword eyebrows wrinkled tightly, and he gasped fiercely, his eyes were painful and forbearing, "Nan, listen to me......"
Shaking his hand on Wei Lan's shoulder, he just pulled the person away a little distance, and his body froze suddenly.
The little girl's body was soft, and she sat down with his hand, her porcelain white skin was covered with a layer of light powder, and her eyes were watery and shiny, and there were two crystal teardrops hanging on her long eyelashes, "Can't you?" You don't want to? ”
As if he felt that he had been guessed, Wei Landou's big tears fell, Bei Yan gently bit his trembling lip, and looked at Gu Chao with that kind of eyes that had been greatly hurt.
Hazy eyes like smoke and rain, pitiful and weak, innocent and charming......
From the first time he saw these eyes, Gu Chao knew it.
He couldn't escape, and he didn't want to.
There are many clips flashing in my mind, including bits and pieces with Wei Lan, clips of going to Beijing to meet the Wei family's parents, and more expectations for the future......
He loves Wei Lan.
Marry her.
He wanted her to belong to him alone.
Be with each other for a lifetime.
Confirming this, Gu Chao's breath stagnated, and a bang exploded in his head as if a string had been broken, and he could no longer control it, and he hugged Wei Lan tightly into his arms.
"You say it, I don't regret it."
…… The atmosphere in the room is beautiful, and the ripples are ......
The moon was on the side of the eaves, and there was the sound of insects and frogs outside the window.
Wei Lan fell asleep tiredly, Gu Chao dropped a small kiss on her face, and called hot water to clean it up for her.
Wei Lan slept very deeply that night, and when she woke up in the morning, she had already returned to her room, and there was no Gu Chao beside her.
Hurriedly changed clothes and got out of bed, with black hair scattered on his back, as soon as he jumped out of the room, he bumped into Gu Chao who entered the house with firewood.
Today, I left for three days, and I was afraid that there would not be enough firewood at home, so Gu Chao got up early and chopped a lot of spares.
"Brother Chao!"
He's not gone yet!
Wei Lan took a step forward, thinking of something for a while, his face was slightly red and he hurriedly took a step back, twisting and pinching, "Brother Chao, Brother Chao...... Morning, morning! ”
"Hmm." Gu Chao bowed his head, touched her shoulder, and walked to the kitchen, "Why don't you sleep more?" ”
Wei Lan followed behind him, his mood suddenly sank, and he was a little uncomfortable, "You want to leave, I want to send you." ”
The sky outside the window was very cloudy, and it was about to rain, Gu Chao didn't directly say that he wouldn't let Wei Lan send it, but after breakfast, he stood at the gate of the courtyard with his bag on his back, bent down and kissed Wei Lan on the forehead, "When I come back, three days, just three days." ”
Wei Lan understood what he meant, although he didn't agree very much, but in order to reassure Gu Chao, he nodded obediently.
It's just that she turned her face sideways again, and Nunu's mouth poked at her bulging cheeks, "Here, too." ”
In the past, only Gu Chao adhered to her and asked her to kiss her, but today it was replaced by her.
Gu Chao teased, looked around, and did not drop a kiss on Wei Lan's side face, but clamped her chin, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pressed her against the courtyard door and kissed her deeply.
After a long time, they gasped and parted.
Gu Chao's thumb touched her face lightly, and then he picked up her face again, his tone was tight, and his eyes were heavy, "Does it still hurt?" ”
Wei Lan was a little embarrassed, hung her head in shame for a while, and shook it lightly, "It doesn't hurt, it's just, it's just a little sour." ”
"It's me who is not good." Gu Chao suddenly sighed.
If it weren't for the suddenness of this time, he would have stayed at home and spent time with her.
Wei Lan's head shook into a rattle, thinking of last night's incident, she was already shy in her heart, and she was afraid that she would delay the time, and it would be difficult to walk in the rain for a while, and then delay Gu Chao in the car, so she pushed Gu Chao out with her little hand, and the smile on her face was warm and healing, "Go, say okay, just three days!" ”
Gu Chao glanced at Wei Lan deeply before turning around.
It takes about ten hours to drive to Haishi, and a round trip can account for half of the time, according to Gu Chao's temperament, if he is really in a hurry to come back, he will definitely rush to work non-stop after getting off the car, and it is impossible to find time to rest.
After thinking about it carefully, Wei Lan stepped out of the door and shouted, "Don't work too hard!" Three days...... Four days is fine! ”
Gu Chao waved his hand, and this time he didn't look back.
Although there will be reluctance to separate, after yesterday's incident, Wei Lan's uneasiness in his heart has dissipated slightly, and his mood has improved a lot.
Humming a small tune into the house, Wei Lan rolled up her sleeves and walked to the kitchen, "Grandma, what's still missing?" I'm here to help you! ”
Grandma Gu sat on the stone pier by the well, pulling the sheets in the bucket and frowning, "I'm almost busy, but I don't know what's going on with this sheet?" How is there a bloodstain? Chao Ge'er gave birth to a hemorrhoidal fistula (hemorrhoids) can't be? ”
The sheets in the bucket were Gu Chao's sheets, and after Gu Chao sent Wei Lan back to the room last night, he tore off the sheets and threw them in the bucket to soak.
was about to leave for Haishi, after such a crazy thing, Gu Chao's taste of food, before he left, he began to think about Wei Lan, so he hugged Wei Lan and slept for a good night.
I forgot to deal with the quilt at all.
Grandma Gu didn't know what it was, but Wei Lan knew, and in an instant, her pale face turned peach-colored.
She stretched out her hand and took the bucket in Grandma Gu's hand, "Say, maybe it was bitten by mosquitoes and scratched, Grandma, I'll wash it!" ”
Grandma Gu went with Wei Lan, but she still couldn't help but mutter, "Can a mosquito bite catch so much blood?" Is this treating the skin on the body as cowhide? ”
Wei Lan rubbed the sheets with a blushing face, and said hesitantly: "Yes, yes, isn't it?" ”
In the morning, the oolong came to an end, and at noon, the sky was cloudy as if it was about to fall.
Grandma Gu just said that she was afraid that the rain would be too heavy, and she was worried that the house would leak rain, so the words fell, and the downpour fell, and one by one the huge raindrops fell on the roof, like small pebbles smashing on it.
The roof of Gu's house is tiled, except for the loud noise, there is no rain leakage.
The rain was heavy and fierce, and after two hours of work, the drainage ditch in the backyard of the Gu family could not be drained.
Afraid that the water would flood into the house, Wei Lan and Youlan, one wearing a hat and the other wearing a robe, stood in the rain and was busy scooping up the dead branches and leaves in the drainage ditch, so that the water could drain faster.
Grandma Gu stood in the room and paced back and forth worriedly, urging from time to time, "It's almost enough, if you come in, you will come in, and there is nothing in the kitchen that can be flooded." ”
"Hey, I know Grandma!" Wei Lan replied with a loud voice, but fished out the things in the ditch before entering the house.
It's all small things, there is no way to borrow tools to complete it, Wei Lan can only use his hands, wait for people to enter the house and sit down, a pair of small and slender hands have a red mark here, and there are red fingertips, Grandma Gu is distressed, "If Brother Chao'er is at home, then you are suffering?" Blame me for this old thing, which is useless, can't help you, and has become a drag. ”
Beckoning Youlan to scald her hands with hot water, and at the end of the day, she scrubbed with soap, Wei Lan smiled: "Grandma, when there is Brother Chao, naturally Brother Chao loves me, Brother Chao is not there, I also have to stand up, be able to be in charge, and be able to support the family." ”
Grandma Gu's eyes were moist when she heard what she said, and she shouted several times.
The heavy rain did not stop in the afternoon, and on the side of the brigade, the loudspeaker screamed effortlessly in the rain, anxious that all the male members in the brigade went to the sunflower field in Xiaogang to rush to work.
Sunflowers are leafy, tall and require a huge amount of water, but even if you don't avoid waterlogging, you will still be unbearable if you soak in water for a long time.
After a while, it will be harvest season, and there is no reason to fold at this time.
All the male members of the brigade went out and worked for most of the afternoon, and finally widened the drainage ditch and the rain stopped.
Someone scolded: "Lao Shizi's thief, play Lao Tzu!" ”
was quickly reprimanded by Gu Sande, "Okay, this day I see that it will rain at night, I am a little clever when I go back, and listen to a loudspeaker at night." ”
In the evening, it rained again, and the Gu family had a hasty dinner and went back to the house to rest.
The sound of the raindrops above his head was "dong dong", the black hole outside, Gu Chao was not at home, Wei Lan was lying on the table, a little lost and a little scared.
Youlan is a sensible person, and she always remembers a long time ago, and when her brother went out a while, he told her that he was afraid that Wei Lan would be afraid at night, so he asked her to sleep with Wei Lan.
So, Youlan hugged the small pillow and knocked on Wei Lan's door.
The mood that just happened to be sluggish suddenly, Wei Lan was hugged by Youlan's arm, and when she heard her tell interesting stories about her with Ji Fengyao on weekdays, she was soon teased and burst into laughter.
The speech-like villain suddenly quieted down, and the bright deer eyes stared at Wei Lan, "Sister Lan still looks best when she smiles." ”
Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, then reacted in hindsight, her lips hooked her eyes, and she touched Youlan's head, "I'm sorry for worrying you." ”
Youlan smiled and shook her head, holding her arm and coquettishly, "We all love Sister Lan, my brother said, what's the matter, as long as we are together, nothing will pass." ”
Wei Lan was stunned for a while, and finally sighed with a smile, and nodded the tip of Youlan's nose, "Okay, go to sleep, little girl!" ”
"I'm eleven years old, I'm not a little girl anymore!" The little girl protested loudly.
Wei Lan smiled happily, "Okay, that big girl, go to sleep?" ”
"Oops! Sister Arashi......"
A good night's sleep without dreams.
However, it turns out that in just three days, many things can happen.
For example, the weather was not beautiful, and it rained for two days, and the crops in the field were in trouble.
For example, someone from the commune came to inform them that there was a gap in the dam of the reservoir several brigades away, and although it was being repaired, everyone was still ordered to be ready for flood fighting.
For another example, Ding Maomao is back......
This incident was told to Wei Lan by Lin Qing when the rain stopped.
The crops were in trouble, the reservoir might burst, and for fear of flooding, Gu Sande led a group of educated youths and members to actively make preparations.
Fan Xiao didn't worry that Lin Qing was at home alone, so he simply sent someone to Wei Lan.
"Did you hear a car coming in from the brigade last night?"
Lin Qing opened her mouth first in the form of inquiry, and when she saw Wei Lan shaking her head, she paused, her expression suddenly compassionate, it seemed that after pregnancy, her mind was more delicate, and many things were magnified to think.
"Remember Ding Maomao? She's back. ”
