Chapter 90: Heart-to-heart
Gu Lan returned home, thinking about what the caravan in the village could go out to sell, the method of making arrowroot powder has been told to the people of other villages, the paper-making method must not be leaked, the current situation is difficult, people will not be idle to build a stove, think about it, the only thing that can be sold as propaganda is the wheelbarrow and the kang that have just been made.
It is necessary to let Shili Baxiang know about Xiaolongkan.
This is the conclusion reached by Gu Lan and Old Man Shao after discussion, before Old Man Shao only thought about hiding his name incognito and preserving his strength, so as not to be found by the chaotic party and endanger his life.
But now more than ten years have passed, and the chaotic party doesn't remember that Aji said that if he continues to be incognito like this, he is afraid that any revenge plan will not work.
Old man Shao let out a long sigh, he was old in the end, and he only thought about Taoguang and kept his eyes open, but he forgot that even a sharp sword needed to be polished from time to time in order not to lose its sharp edge.
"Girl Lan, since you already know this, you are still willing to marry Aji, I can see that you are a girl with ideas, you tell Grandpa Shao what you think? If we think the same thing, sometimes we can save some unnecessary misunderstandings, and if you think it's not feasible, I won't force you. ”
Old man Shao is a military general, he is used to being straightforward, even if he has been hiding in this small mountain village for so many years, he has not lost his nature.
Gu Lan likes to communicate with others so simply and straightforwardly, she nodded and said: "Grandpa Shao, now that we are about to become a family, it's time to confess, I am willing to marry Aji, firstly, because Grandpa Shao, you often help us, if there is no Grandpa Shao, I am afraid that our sisters and brothers will not survive now." ”
Gu Lan's words are true, thinking back to the time since crossing here, it was Old Man Shao and Aji who reached out to help many times in distress.
Even the pillars who hated them at the beginning have now let go of the mustard in their hearts.
Old man Shao sighed and nodded, "Girl Lan, you are a person who knows gratitude." ”
Gu Lan continued: "The second point is that Aji is worth it, he treats me wholeheartedly, and I am also pleased with him, so I will naturally treat him wholeheartedly." ”
Gu Lan's words are not false, she is actually much older than Aji, thinking back to her previous life about the opposite sex, she doesn't know how many years ago.
But when facing Aji, he has some heart palpitations from time to time, he will feel joy when he sees him, he will miss him when he is separated, and he will feel distressed when he is sad, and he wants to protect him under his wings.
This is already love for Gu Lan.
Even though her love is mixed with a lot of use ingredients.
The first is to say kindness, and the second is to say love, but this is not the answer that Old Man Shao wants, he looked at Gu Lan aggressively: "Girl Lan, is there anything else?" ”
A smile bloomed at the corner of Gu Lan's mouth, I don't know when, she didn't look like the black girl before, what was she like, Old Man Shao couldn't say, but he saw hope in Gu Lan.
Old man Shao looked at Gu Lan with straight eyes, her red lips opened lightly, and she said softly but firmly: "Grandpa Shao, I hope that Aji will return to his position, I will help him, and also help me, I have what I want to do." ”
It was like a basin of ice water poured down from the top of his head, Old Man Shao couldn't help but shudder, he didn't know where a peasant girl got such ambition from, and he actually said that she wanted to get that position.
Who taught Gu Lan?
Think about it, if Aji can really return to that position, the back position can only be Gu Lan's, if she can live.
"What do you want to do?" Old man Shao's eyes were like eagles, he would never let Gu Lan do anything that would endanger Aji.
"I want to make ...... In this world, there are no more of us sisters and brothers, lonely and helpless. ”
Gu Lan's face showed a trace of vulnerability, and she lowered her head to cover her eyes full of desire.
She wants peace in the world, wants Haiyan River to be clear, and wants to sit in that high position to satisfy her desire for power and ambition.
In her previous life, she worked alone to become an executive of a multinational company, but because it was difficult to rise as a woman, she had to lie down selectively.
Why? Why can't a woman rise to a higher position?
In this life, she just has to step by step and strive to get to her own position.
She Gu Lan, if she wants to do her best, she will never allow her life to leave regrets.
But these words can't be told to Old Man Shao.
If he knew Gu Lan's ambitions, he was afraid that he would be wary of her.
Men always look down on Gu Lan habitually, even if Gu Lan said that she wanted to be the queen, Old Man Shao would be shocked, but he would never have imagined that what Gu Lan actually wanted to do was the one who held the power.
Because he thinks Gu Lan is a woman, he won't have such thoughts.
Thinking of Gu Lan's life experience, a hint of clarity flashed in Old Man Shao's eyes.
No wonder Gu Lan would take the initiative to adopt so many orphans who were sold, it turned out that she thought of herself.
Lan Yatou is indeed kind-hearted.
It was only at this time that Old Man Shao let go of the mustard in his heart, Gu Lan was in his heart, she was a smart, brave, thoughtful and ambitious woman, the best woman who could support Aji to return to the throne.
Maybe Aggie can find more powerful women in the future, but they may not be able to control it.
Choosing Gu Lan is already the best choice he can do.
The grandfather and grandson talked about this from the bottom of their hearts, and the topic was finally able to return to what to do next.
The caravan in the village has been formed, and Uncle Ming's younger brother Ram is in charge, he has always been flamboyant, and he is the most adept at saying, he is the most suitable to lead the team, but the people who went out this time are Zhao Fusheng and Zhou Yang, and five or six other people who serve as guards.
There were about eighty men in the village, except for the old and the young, who had to defend themselves against wild beasts and external invasions, and now they had to be divided into a number of merchants, which were very compact.
Gu Lan smiled confidently: "Don't worry, just ask them to go out and do some publicity, and in the future, when Xiaolongkan's reputation is out, countless businessmen will take the initiative to send it to the door." ”
They only need to stay in this small village road, and there will be a steady stream of people to deliver silver taels.
Just like a high-tech enterprise in the previous life, as long as it occupies the upstream R&D highland, is it still worried about not making money?
The pressure will only be transferred to Gu Lan's head, and she needs to come up with more ways to make money.
It would be nice if the system could search for some cash crops, Gu Lan couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Time doesn't wait, she has to work harder.
The men, women and children of the village are working, but they are much more harmonious than before.
It's just because Gu Lan changed the distribution method.
In the past, the distribution of labor in Xiaolongkan was extremely unreasonable, and it was no wonder that it caused some dissatisfaction in a small group with low productivity.
Come to think of it, collective labor can't be stopped, after all, individual power is too small.
