I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 402: Brother Chao is having trouble

Wei Lan said, turning on the TV and adjusting it to the station that usually broadcasts dramas.

After finishing all this, Wei Lan turned around, carried a pot in one hand and a basket in the other and walked out, "Grandma, I'll be back in a minute!"

Seeing that she was in a hurry, as if someone was chasing her, Grandma Gu raised her voice and warned: "Slow down, the road is slippery, be careful not to let the **** soup spill out and burn yourself..."

"knew!"

Wei Lan's voice came, and the person had already disappeared at the door.

Grandma Gu shook her head and laughed, "What a reckless girl."

   *

There was a thin layer of snow on the ground. Wei Lan was afraid of slipping and had to be careful all the way.

She wore many and thick clothes, and when she walked upstream to where the water was intercepted, she felt a layer of sweat forming on her back.

The place where the water is cut off is upstream of Xiaogang. Wei Lan used to come here to graze cattle in the beginning.

The small stream, which is more than one meter wide, is layered with sacks filled with soil to block the flow of water. A trench is dug further upstream to connect the stream to the large pit where the cows usually roll.

The big pit has just been cleaned, and the mud has been dug out and piled aside. At this moment, clean water is slowly flowing into it.

The creek is living water. If it doesn't work like this, the sacks blocking the water downstream won't do anything at all.

After digging ditches and scooping out mud, the bodies of the young men and women present were all covered with mud. Their lower trousers were wet and stuck to their legs. When the breeze blew, everyone was swaying.

Captain Gu Sande was even more exaggerated. His whole body was covered in mud, as if he had just fallen into a pit. He did not see him go home and was still watching at the scene.

Wei Lan searched for a long time before she found Gu Chao. Just like Gu Sande, he was covered in mud and his clothes were soaked, as if he had just rolled in the mud.

Wei Lan frowned and said "tsk", then stood on the field ridge and shouted: "Comrades, thank you for your hard work! Grandma Gu made **** soup for everyone. Come over and have a bowl to warm yourself up when it's cold!"

Wei Lan said the words "warm yourself" while staring at Gu Chao, gritting his teeth, and his voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

Unexpectedly, Gu Sande ran the fastest.

Wei Lan was the first one to stand next to her, and took the initiative to take the basket with bowls. While handing out bowls, she waved her hand for everyone to line up, "Fourth Madam is kind-hearted and feels sorry for you juniors. You must not forget this feeling!"

The young men in the team rushed forward in a rush, and the male educated youths who were almost numb from the cold also crowded over with slow steps.

　　They held the bowls in front of Wei Lan one by one, and finally filled the bowl. The bowl of **** soup was quickly knocked over when their hands touched each other.

Gu Sande’s face sank, and he mumbled: “What are you squeezing for? What are you squeezing for? They’re all lined up, everyone has one, and yours is missing?”

Gu went over to the stream to wash away the mud on his face and head, and soon strode over to take over Gu Sande's place.

 Gu Chao took out a bowl from the basket and stretched it out in front of Wei Lan.

Wei Lan glared at him, "Didn't you hear the captain said you have to queue up?"

 What kind of work can’t be done by so many people? Do you have to work so hard? He looks like a mud monkey...

 In this case, let’s go and freeze.

Wei Lan snorted and turned around to fill Li Wenwen's bowl of **** soup.

"Nanny..." Gu Chao opened his mouth and realized that this was outside and there were so many people around. He quickly changed his words, "It's for the captain."

Wei Lan filled the bowl in his hand with a serious face.

 Originally, she wanted to wait for Gu Chao to say a few soft words to her, so she went down the steps.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chao took the bowl and went straight to the side to look for Gu Sande.

 Wei Lan's pink lips were pursed so high that she drank a round of **** soup. There wasn't much left in the pot, but Gu Chao was still standing over the mud pit talking to Gu Sande.

Wei Lan groaned and stamped her feet.

At this time, a bowl was handed over. Wei Lan subconsciously filled the bowl without looking at who it was.

"Wei Zhiqing, just now, did Gu Chao call you nanny just now?" It was a young man in the team named Li Xu.

Li Xu didn't leave in a hurry while holding the **** soup. He stood in front of Wei Lan with a red face.

Wei Lan didn't know Li Xu at all, and she was angry with Gu Chao in her heart. Her delicate face was stern and her words were rude, "No, you heard wrong. I will give in after the fight. There are others who want me later. "

Hearing Wei Lan's denial, Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Obediently taking a step to the side, Li Xu scratched the back of his head with a muddy hand, a little shy, "The next words may be a bit abrupt, but I still want to ask, does Wei Zhiqing have a partner?" "

 “This has to do with you...”

As soon as Wei Lan opened her mouth, before she could finish her sentence, she saw Gu Chao, who looked like a mud monkey, walking towards her with a sullen face.

Gu Chaogang discussed with Gu Sande, they were almost done with their work, and planned to go home. When he turned around, he saw Li Xu chatting with Wei Lan.

Gu Chaodeng's breath suddenly sank, and he didn't bother to say hello to Gu Sande. He turned around and walked towards Wei Lan. As he got closer, he just heard Li Xu's words.

"She has it." The veins on Gu Chao's forehead bulged, and he stepped in front of Li Xu. His deep eyes glanced at Li Xu coldly, like a wolf whose territory was violated to protect its cubs.

Gu Chao was half a head taller than Li Xu, and his anger suddenly surged. Li Xu was so shocked that Li Xu took two steps back and almost couldn't hold the bowl in his hand.

Li Xu's face turned red and he hesitated to speak, "Yes, really? No, I don't know who Wei Zhiqing's target is?"

Li Xu said this and took a step away to look at Wei Lan who was behind Gu Chao.

However, Li Xu took a step away, and Gu Chao responded by taking a step away, blocking Wei Lan tightly.

 The eyes of other people around him turned around.

Li Wenwen pushed Fan Zhuo's shoulder, "Would you like to go out and say a few words to me? If this continues, bad things will happen, right?"

The educated youth in the educated youth spots basically knew about the relationship between Wei Lan and Gu Chao, but everyone was tight-lipped and did not want to talk about it outside.

 After all, Gu Chao's family has a disgraceful family background. As long as he can keep his mouth shut about this matter, if the two of them break up in the future, fewer people will know about it and it will be easier to calm down.

If we allow things to happen now, the secret may be exposed.

 Among the male educated youths, Fan Zuo acted prudently and was always the one who made the decision.

Li Wenwen saw that he lowered his head and said nothing, so he asked again, "You really don't care?"

Fan Zhuan rubbed his fingers and drank the **** soup in the bowl, as if he had made a decision and took a step, but there was new movement towards Gu Chao.

Li Xu saw that Gu Chao had been standing in the middle, and the timidity that had been frightened for a moment was swept away, and he said shyly: "Gu Chao, this matter is Wei Zhiqing's business, Wei Zhiqing should be asked, why do you interfere?! Who do you think you are!?"

"Just because I am—" Gu Chao took a step forward and swallowed the words as they reached his lips.

If others knew that Wei Lan was talking to him about someone, they would leave nasty comments and those vicious words would slander Wei Lan.

He pursed his lips, breathing heavily and suddenly lost his words.

 Can’t say, not yet.

 Seeing Gu Chao like this, Li Xu felt a little more confident.

If Gu Chao also pursues Wei educated youth, to be fair, Li Xu really has no confidence that he can win over Gu Chao without the label of ingredients. But now it seems that Gu Chao is quite self-aware.

Li Xu raised his confidence when Wei Lan poked his head out from behind Gu Chao, his bright white face and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes widened.

Li Xu's heart was filled with excitement, "Wei Zhiqing, you..."

"Just because he is my partner." Wei Lan poked Gu Chao's body with her finger and hit the cold, dark mud. She immediately retracted her hand in disgust and turned around to look around for something to wipe off the mud on her hand. .

That sentence "Just because he is my partner" made Gu Chao's ears tingle. He straightened his back, feeling proud and arrogant at this moment.

The bulging muscles on the shoulders trembled with excitement, as if aware of the owner's mood.

Gu Chao looked down at Li Xu from a high position, "Did you hear that?"

Li Xu looked at the two of them in astonishment, too shocked to speak.

Gu Chao disagreed, and his sharp warning eyes passed over everyone present. Among these people, more than one Li Xu had small thoughts about Wei Lan.

 Most people hide their thoughts in their hearts.

Only Li Xu, who was usually not close to Wei Lan, would take this opportunity to ask out loud.

Gu Chao looked away, as if to declare ownership, slightly bent his knees and lifted Wei Lan onto his shoulders, turned around and walked towards home.

"What are you doing? Let me go! You're so dirty! You stink!" Wei Lan lay on Gu Chao's shoulder and straightened her body, for fear of getting mud on it. However, she didn't hold on for long, and she hit her chin on Gu Chao's back. There was mud on my chin, and at the same time, the unique fishy smell of mud kept creeping into my nose.

 Wei Lan felt sick in her stomach and retched several times while lying on Gu Chao's shoulder, with a flash of red appearing at the end of her eyes.

 The painful physical tears came out, but nothing could be vomited out.

Wei Lan patted Gu Chao on the shoulder to get down. However, Gu Chao, who always took care of her emotions, was a little unusual today and carried her back without saying a word.

 No comfort, no consolation, only silence.

 …

As soon as Gu Chao's back holding Wei Lan turned into a small dot and quickly disappeared into the shadow of the trees, everyone by the stream found their jaws that had been dropped by shock.

"Hell, is she crazy? How dare you do it in front of so many people..." Li Wenwen cursed in a low voice, and finally his voice disappeared under Fan Hao's thoughtful gaze.

Fan Zhu lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice, "You seem to be paying special attention to Wei Lan recently."

Li Wenwen was stunned for a moment and said: "We are all educated youths going to the countryside, shouldn't we take care of each other?"

 “Really?” Fan Zuo raised his head and smiled at him.

Li Wenwen choked and looked away unnaturally.

Fan Zhuan understood clearly and did not continue to ask. He just raised his voice and said to everyone around him: "Everyone, after drinking the **** soup, put away the bowls. Remember to return the bowls when you are done with your work."

Things happened suddenly. Not to mention the bowl and basket, the big teapot in Wei Lan's hand fell halfway.

   *

Gu Chao carried Wei Lan into the courtyard before putting him down.

 Wei Lan's eyes were red and he couldn't stand on the ground. He squatted down and kept retching.

Gu Chao didn't say a word, his lips pressed into a straight line, and he squatted in the courtyard with Wei Lan.

Grandma Gu came out after hearing the commotion and saw two people dressed as clay monkeys in the courtyard. Her heart jumped into her throat and she walked towards her with her little feet down, "W-what's going on? Did you fall?"

"It's okay." Gu Chao said without raising his head.

“Grandma, he bullied me!” Wei Lan suddenly burst into tears, pointed at Gu Chao with trembling fingers, and started to complain to Grandma Gu.

 “This mud is all over me, it smells so bad! Ugh—”

Wei Lan retched while talking.

Grandma Gu didn’t know what was going on, and thought that Gu Chao was just like a little kid who didn’t do anything, picking up mud and throwing it at Wei Lan while working.

 “You’re a head-chopper!” Grandma Gu was so angry that she turned her head and looked around. Finally, she picked up a piece of angular firewood from under the window sill and started to say hello to Gu Chao’s back without any explanation.

Gu Chao squatted there, still holding one of Wei Lan's hands, supporting Wei Lan. Even when Granny Gu hit him, he didn't hide or argue.

After two strokes, Wei Lan couldn't stand it anymore. He stretched out his hand to stop her with red eyes, "Grandma, no, it was me who said nonsense. Brother Chao didn't bully me!"

Although Wei Lan was angry at Gu Chao for making her dirty and smelly, she couldn't bear to see him get beaten.

Especially the clothes on Gu Chao's body were wet. Not only was it cold against his body, but it hurt even more when he was hit.

Seeing Grandma Gu's expression of anger and disbelief, Wei Lan shivered and excused herself: "My, my clothes are wet, it's cold, it's so cold...'"

 “What are you still doing? Come in quickly and don’t get cold!” Grandma Gu immediately threw away the firewood in her hand and asked Gu Chao to help Wei Lan into the house.

Gu Chao sent Wei Lan back to the room and carried the small kitchen stove to Wei Lan. After finishing these tasks, he turned around and left the room.

“Grandma, please boil more hot water, my daughter will take a bath soon.”

Grandma Gu nodded, "I understand, go back to the house and change your clothes. Soak the dirty clothes so they can be washed later."

Gu Chao responded in a low voice, bowed and went to the backyard. He threw the wooden bucket into the well and pulled up a bucket of water.

Wei Lan saw it clearly from inside the room, thinking that Gu Chao was looking at the water and didn't take it seriously. However, the next moment she saw Gu Chao raising the water above his head and then pouring it over...

The water poured over me, splashing on the ground, and the water droplets flew far away.

are you crazy? Taking a cold shower on such a cold day?

Wei Lan opened the window with a bang, her eyes turned red and she shouted loudly: "What are you doing? You are crazy!"

Grandma Gu also heard that something was wrong with the sound of water. When she came out to take a look, she almost lost her footing while holding on to the door frame, "You, you head-chopping guy, you really want to **** me off to death!"

Gu Chao had a sullen face and ignored him. He flushed two more buckets of water and entered the house with water stains all over his body.

"What are you doing?" Wei Lan stopped him halfway. He stared at Wei Lan with bated breath for a while, then pursed his lips and walked away from Wei Lan to his room.

He did not change his clothes, but took the bathtub out of the room. He put on his wet clothes and washed the bathtub in the yard.

 Different from every gentle incident before, Gu Chao's temper today was unorganized.

 Wearing wet clothes on such a cold day, it seems that I am the only one suffering a loss, but in fact it hurts the hearts of the two people around me.

Grandma Gu saw that there was a conflict between Gu Chao and Wei Lan, and she tried to persuade her to no avail. She looked heartbroken and blinked, then simply let go and went back to the house, not caring about anything else.

 “What’s wrong with you? Why are you doing this!”

 “Isn’t it okay to talk about something?”

 From the initial rage to the current helplessness, Gu Chao remained indifferent.

Wei Lan was so anxious that she burst into tears, "Can you go back to your room and change clothes first? It's been so cold for a while..."
