I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 440: Repaying a favor

Wei Lan was afraid that they would overturn the top of the basin accidentally, so she picked up the spatula and stepped on the chair. She put one hand on her hips and the other with the spatula to knock on the wooden door of the kitchen. "If anyone spills a drop of it for me, you won't be able to drink from it anymore!"

The delicate sound was as crisp as the birds in the valley.

The boys turned around and saw Wei Lan, who was just like the one who walked out of the painting. Each of his dark and red cheeks turned red, making them look even darker.

 The young men sat back in their seats obediently, staring at Wei Lan like good babies, and were too embarrassed to make any more trouble.

Li Xu smiled and said, "In that case, Wei Lan, why don't you come and make soup?"

 She is coming?

　　That's okay, it's better than a group of people robbing and overturning the wasted stuff.

Wei Lan raised her chin and was about to jump off the chair, but was caught halfway.

Gu Chao grabbed Wei Lan's waist with both hands, put Wei Lan down and pushed her to the kitchen, "You go in and rest for a while, I'll make soup for them."

Wei Lan's broad back completely covered Wei Lan's body. The young men at the long table tilted their heads and craned their necks to look.

He closed the kitchen door casually, Gu Chao tilted his head slightly, his eyes were cold and sharp, the corners of his lips curled up in an evil way, and his cold voice was soft and wordy: "Who wanted to drink soup just now? Come on, I'll call you. .”

Is this a fight, or is it a way to blow their heads off?

The young men and women at the long table were a bit confusing and stressful.

Wei Zhiqing is good-looking. They were just looking at someone, why did they forget that their partner is still here?

A group of people smacked their lips, and finally they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

 “What’s going on outside?”

Wei Lan entered the house, and the kitchen door was closed. Jiang Lihua and Li Sangsang, who were weighing tomorrow's rations, turned their heads.

Wei Lan shrugged, feeling helpless, "I almost started a fight over that pot of soup."

"Pfft..." Jiang Lihua covered her mouth and laughed, "I have thought of it a long time ago. Although the oil residue and frangipani are just a little bit, the oil flower is not old and young. People in the brigade only have a drop or two for cooking, but not many can do it. It’s so luxurious to catch up with us.”

 “That’s all thanks to the pound of suet that Wei Lan got!” Li Sangsang said with a smile.

Li Sangsang was still a little reluctant to let go. The big canteen was jointly run by Wei Lan and Jiang Lihua. The three girls often sat down together and moved up. Over time, they became familiar with each other, and Li Sangsang no longer called Wei Lan "Wei". "Educated youth, Wei educated youth" shouted.

 “Please tell me, I have something to do and I need to go out!”

Li Sangsang put the scale into Wei Lan's hand, smiled ingratiatingly, took off her clothes and walked out of the kitchen.

"What are you going to do? Are you in a hurry?" Jiang Lihua took a look, and after taking two steps, she wanted to follow him.

Wei Lan calmly stretched out her hand to stop her, "Don't worry about her, let's study how to use this title first! I don't know how."

The scale is an old-fashioned scale, which consists of a weighing pole, a weight, and a hook for hanging things.

The small dots on the weighing rod are densely packed, marking the number of pounds. They were weighed by Gu Chao last time, but Wei Lan didn't really recognize them.

Wei Lan didn’t recognize it, and Jiang Lihua didn’t recognize it either.

So two people squatted at the table, one holding the weighing rod and the other holding the weight, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

 Let’s talk about Li Sangsang.

Although Jiang Lihua said she no longer cared about the incident with Chun Zhi in the morning, Li Sangsang always kept it in mind.

Coming out of the kitchen, Gu Chao was making soup for a group of young men in the main room. Her brother Li Jiandang was like a goose, stretching his arms to lift the bowl so high that he couldn't even see it.

Li Sangsang frowned and hissed, quickly walked up, grabbed Li Jiandang's vest and pulled it out, "Come here!"

 “What are you doing, Sang Zaoer? I, I am eating, eating!”

“Eat, eat, eat! Just know how to eat! Let’s see if you can keep eating after your wife runs away!”

Li Jiandang was still thinking about drinking soup and was stubbornly refusing to leave. When he heard Li Sangsang's words, he thought of Jiang Lihua and felt inexplicably uneasy, "What's wrong?"

 “You come with me first!”

This time Li Jiandang did not resist, and the brother and sister pulled each other and staggered out of the house.

There was a loudmouthed person in the main room who lowered his head and said with a smile: "Didn't Jiang Dang's wife run away with others before she even walked through the door? When did she have another daughter-in-law?"

“It’s the same thing. I saw an older girl standing on the field ridge in the morning trying to talk to Jiang Dang!”

Chatting, whispering and laughing continuously, Gu Chao tapped the empty soup pot with a spoon, "dong dong", the young men seemed to be grabbed by their tails, one by one, they turned to look at Gu Chao, no. Dare to speak up.

 Gu Chao:…

A black line floated across Gu Chao's forehead. After a while of silence, he coughed lightly: "The captain said, it's a good day. I'll go to the ground after half an hour's rest after dinner."

 Out of the younger generation, Gu Sande was most optimistic about Gu Chao. He had asked Gu Chao about his wishes from the beginning and was very interested in letting him be the leader.

Gu Chao rarely communicated with the young men in the team. At that time, he only nodded and said that he would help keep an eye on things, but he did not agree to anything else.

I thought Gu Sande would find someone else, but looking at the way a group of people were grabbing a pot of soup just now, I knew that there was no one.

Recalling the scene of blowing the trumpet to gather people for dinner at noon, Gu Chao felt that it didn't seem to be that troublesome, so he simply added: "I will blow the trumpet when the time comes. From now on, I will blow the trumpet before and after work. Please pay attention to the sound." .”

It was also because Gu Chao had some understanding of the wrestling he had experienced in Beijing and everyone's intentions.

It is undeniable that when the trumpet is blown, the sound of "beep beep" is loud, and it feels quite good to command a group of people.

Gu Chao was still feeling secretly happy. On the other side, everyone found it convenient and nodded in agreement:

"I think it will work. This little suona is louder than the big horn at the door of the captain's house. It's also clear that when it rings at noon, it's time to have dinner."

“I think so too, Gu Chao, where did you buy this small speaker? Is it expensive?”

Everyone shouted "small suona" and "small trumpet". Gu Chao had a dull face, and the blue veins on his forehead were bulging.

The male educated youths suppressed their laughter. Fan Zuo raised his head and explained kindly: "This is not a trumpet, but a 'horn'. Most people only use it in the army, and ordinary people can't get it."

“Army? Isn’t that where soldiers are?”

Although this group of young men are honest, they actually all have a dream of being soldiers. As soon as they heard the word "army", they all turned to look at Gu Chao with great envy.

"Okay, Gu Chao, can you do it? Did you go back to the capital and get in touch with the army?"

"What's the army like? Are all the soldiers in it so tall?" Someone stood up and gestured with his hands.

“Yes, yes, can you show me this trumpet? If you can, I, I want to try it too…”

The trumpet given by your father-in-law is just for letting people touch it, but you still want to play it? Gu Chao made the most unstable move ever. He rolled his eyes, pursed his lips into a straight line, and knocked on the soup pot harder, "Just to remind you, we have to go to the fields in twenty minutes. Today we have twenty acres." The ground must be dug.”

 After saying that, he picked up his rice and sweet potatoes and entered the kitchen.

 A group of people behind him stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

They rarely interacted with Gu Chao. At first, they were wary of Gu Chao because of his frozen face and his appearance. However, after talking with each other, they discovered that Gu Chao was not only cold-tempered, but also not that cold-tempered. horrible.

As the fear subsided, some people dared to whisper: "Why can he go to the kitchen to eat? We have to sit here?"

“How about you find a partner? It’s best if he works in the kitchen, so you can go in and eat.”

"Yes, yes, there are three people in the cafeteria. They are all pretty girls. Apart from the famous Wei Zhiqing, there are also Jiang Zhiqing and Sang Zaoer. If you fall in love with them, go and chase them. ah!"

Jiang Cheng frowned, put down the bowl and chopsticks with a thud, and glanced at the people opposite him with displeasure, "What did you say?"

Those young men were also joking, but they didn't notice that the brother of one of the protagonists of the topic was still present. He suddenly stopped smiling and begged for mercy: "We are just joking, joking, don't be angry, don't be angry..."

Since the attitude of the people on the other side was quite good, Jiang Cheng snorted, sat down and just picked up the bowl and chopsticks, he saw Li Sangsang, who had run out early in the morning, running back again:

 “Sister Lihua, are you busy? I have something to ask you!”

 …

Witnessing the whole process of his sister being called away, Jiang Cheng felt a breath in his heart. He couldn't spit it out or swallow it. Several times he wanted to get up and go out, but was stopped by Li Wenshu beside him: "You don't want to follow, do you?" ? They are all girls."

Jiang Chengxin said: What’s wrong with the girl? It's the girl who called out, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the girl is looking for something. Isn’t there another Li Jiandang who hasn’t come back yet?

The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. Jiang Cheng was about to get up again. Li Wenwen held him back and said in panic: "You don't want to go into the kitchen to eat too, do you? Jiang Lihua is working in the kitchen. If you want to go, just go there." , Don’t mess with that little pepper from the production captain’s house easily…”

 After saying that, Li Wenwen stuffed a sweet potato into Jiang Cheng's hand and said, "Listen to me, sit down and eat."

Although the other people around him were silent and did not speak, their little eyes glanced this way from time to time. Jiang Cheng was afraid that others would misunderstand him, and it would be difficult to explain if rumors really spread.

I have to be patient and wait until I get back in the evening to talk to Lihua.

Jiang Cheng gloomily opened the sweet potato and ate it silently.

 …

In the kitchen, Gu Chao held Wei Lan's little hand holding the eggs, struggled for a moment, and said softly: "Nanny, it's not good to hold this."

"This is something I brought from home. I cooked it in the morning. I just heated it up in a pot in the big cafeteria." Wei Lan's peach blossom eyes widened, her face wrinkled and she wanted to jump up and hit him twice, "What do you think I am?" ? Just give me these three melons and two dates in the kitchen, and I still don’t like them!”

It was just a boiled egg. If she hadn't been worried that Gu Chao wouldn't be able to keep up with the nutrition from work, she wouldn't have bothered with it.

Wei Lan puffed her cheeks and turned away, the corners of her mouth drooped. She was as unhappy as she was.

"It's my fault." Gu Chao knew that he had misunderstood. He stretched out his long legs and blocked the kitchen door tightly. He turned around and hugged the little girl to coax her. "My daughter is good at crafts. You have her mouth full of food. One egg is not enough."

Wei Lan's lips bulged, and she raised her squinting eyes toward the table, where Gu Chao brought in rice and sweet potatoes.

“There are no sweet potatoes? I steamed the sweet potatoes today, you can eat them.”

Gu Chaowei was stunned for a moment, he was still angry.

The corners of Gu Chao's lips raised helplessly, and he pretended to be aggrieved and sighed, "If you want something spicy, Nannan can cook it for me, okay?"

His voice was hoarse and caring, with a hint of coaxing to please. Wei Lan's ears went numb after hearing it, and she couldn't resist at all.

　　Pretending to be calm and pushing Gu Chao away, her chin was raised and stretched out with peach pit lines, looking delicate and pretty: "I know, I know, there are so many people outside, what are you talking about? Hurry up and go out to eat!"

Gu Chao leaned forward and rubbed his chin against the top of her hair, changing the subject, "Do you think they can make it?"

Wei Lan frowned slightly, "Who are they?"

 “I don’t believe you don’t know.”

 Wei Lan was choked, and at the same time she realized who Gu Chao was talking about.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Lan bit her lip and said, "It's difficult. If Jiang Cheng and Jiang Lihua work together, at least one of them will get a place in the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University."

 Furthermore, the temptation of this quota is too great.

Even if it is Jiang Cheng who gets the spot, according to Wei Lan's understanding of Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng will definitely give up the spot to Jiang Lihua.

"Not necessarily." There were footsteps approaching from outside the door. Gu Chao turned Wei Lan around and tapped the tip of her nose with his slender fingers, "For Jiang Zhiqing, Li Jiandang is not only her favorite, but also her benefactor. "

 Benefactor...?

Wei Lan's peach blossom eyes flickered slightly, and the image of Jiang Lihua holding her and crying helplessly in Gu's backyard came to mind.

Wei Lan was shocked and said: "You mean, Li Jiandang will repay the favor?"

Gu Chao was stunned for a moment, then he curled his fingers and tapped his knuckles on Wei Lan's smooth forehead, "Silly girl, what are you thinking about? I just want to express that in such a desperate situation, Li Jiandang saved Jiang Zhiqing, and he was already there. Jiang Zhiqing occupies a position in his heart that is incomparable and unattainable to ordinary people."

Gu Chao was determined, "They are destined to be tied together in this life."

"for…"

Before Wei Lan asked, Gu Chao suddenly distanced himself, picked up the bowl and sat at the stove door, eating silently.

Wei Lan still wanted to ask more questions, but the kitchen door was pushed open and hit the wall with a "pop" sound, which made Wei Lan jump up in shock.

Jiang Lihua, with a blushing face, rushed over and hugged Wei Lan firmly. Her voice was hesitant and confused, "Wei, Wei Lan, what should I do?"

Wei Lan took a few steps back before steadying her figure, dumbfounded: "Huh?"

“Li, Li Jiandang said hello to me...”

"He, he said that he told his father that he wanted to try to have a relationship and compete for places in the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University, and then come with me...I, I don't know what to do. Do you want to agree to him? What if? It's not impossible for him to come with me..."

Jiang Lihua spoke intermittently, Wei Lan's red lips slightly opened, and her eyes turned to Gu Chao who was heading towards the door.

Gu Chao blinked at him, looking like he had been guessed.

Wei Lan was stunned for a while before she found her voice, "Have you already made a decision in your mind about this matter? Go ahead according to your inner thoughts. Also, don't talk about this matter to a third person. "

It is not a glorious thing to have a good relationship, but the point is not that, but that if this matter spreads, not only Li Jiandang will suffer, but the entire Li family may be destroyed.
