Chapter 441 Try it

Jiang Lihua buried her face on Wei Lan's shoulder and nodded muffledly, "Yeah."

Wei Lan's peach blossom eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she patted her back gently, "He is willing to take such a big risk for you, which means he really likes you and has a certain motivation to make progress, which is a good thing."

“So, don’t be afraid, huh?” Wei Lan’s voice was soft and gentle. Jiang Lihua was silent for a moment, then nodded with a smile, “Yeah!”

“Wei Lan, luckily I have you, otherwise I wouldn’t know who to talk to about these words... uh—”

Jiang Lihua stepped away from Wei Lan's shoulder and glanced at the person who was eating with his head down at the stove. The smile on his face suddenly faded, "Gu, Gu Chao!"

Jiang Lihua was so hot-headed when she entered the room just now that she didn't see anyone else in the room. Now that she realizes that her words have been heard, her whole body seems to be caught in a slow-down lens, her eyes are wide open, her arms are trembling, and she is pointing in the void. Gu Chao.

 Leave aside the question of whether to be embarrassed or shy, at this moment, Jiang Lihua wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

 Thinking again of what Wei Lan had just said, the awkward look on Jiang Lihua's face faded, and her face turned as white as paper.

How could Wei Lan not guess what Jiang Lihua was worried about?

Standing one step away from Jiang Lihua, Wei Lan patted his chest and made a serious assurance on his fair face, "Gu Chao is not a talkative person, and he listens to me."

Jiang Lihua hesitated for a long time and turned to look at Gu Chao, only to see Gu Chao looking at her with a bowl in his hand.

The two people's eyes met. Gu Chao nodded slightly, indicating that Wei Lan was right. Jiang Lihua breathed a sigh of relief and nodded reluctantly with a smile.

 After a period of time, basically as Gu Chao expected, Jiang Lihua and Li Jiandang became increasingly close. Anyone who had met the two of them together could guess that the two were in a relationship.

Having seen it many times, there are many people talking about it:

“What a good boy, you start so quickly. We were still discussing it a few days ago. If you like it, you should start it as soon as possible... We haven’t made a move yet, and he’s done it now?”

Most of the young men were jealous and envious, but these voices became harsh in Jiang Cheng's ears.

Jiang Cheng talked to Jiang Lihua in private, and every time he tried to persuade her with earnest words: "Lihua, the opportunity is right in front of you. As long as we get the quota, we can go back... You want to have a relationship with your partner and won't stop you, but think about it, wait until you get back You're in the city, why can't you find it under any conditions? Why do you have to do it now..."

“Lihua, I’m doing this for your own good. You know what life is like when you go to the countryside. There is no future and no guarantee with him... You are a girl. If this continues, you will only suffer.”

Jiang Cheng really doesn't want Jiang Lihua to get stuck here. In his heart, her sister is the best girl. As long as she returns to the city, at best, her family can find her a regular factory worker.

 His sister can live a better life than scavenging in this poor place.

Jiang Lihua sat on the side with her head lowered in silence. Seeing Jiang Cheng getting more and more excited as he spoke, she finally nodded: "I understand, I will go and explain it to him clearly."

Jiang Cheng knows very well what kind of character his sister is. Today, a few words can explain her. Jiang Cheng is suspicious in his heart, but as of now, he can only take one step at a time.

 It turned out to be as Jiang Cheng feared. Jiang Lihua did keep her distance from Li Jiandang for a few days at first, but only for a few days.

Jiang Cheng's conversations became more frequent, almost once every three days. At first, Jiang Lihua was able to restrain her temper, but later the brother and sister had a big quarrel.

Jiang Cheng was at a disadvantage, and he disapproved of the matter even more. When he was working in the fields, he blocked Li Jiandang, beat him up, and warned Li Jiandang to stay away from his sister.

Li Jiandang is good friends with Jiang Lihua, and Jiang Chengcheng is his future brother-in-law. There is no way he can fight back, and he can only take the beating alone.

 It was strange that Zhang Hongmei could give up when her own son was beaten. She rolled up her sleeves and picked up the rolling pin and was about to rush out. Li Sangsang and Li Jiandang blocked the door and refused to let her go.

Zhang Hongmei glared at Li Hong, who was sitting on the millstone in the courtyard and smoking welding smoke. "Why are you a donkey? Can't you see that your son was beaten into a pig's head?"

Li Hong glanced sideways at Li Jiandang's beaten face, and quickly looked away, not bothering to look again.

After blowing out a puff of smoke, Li Hong said leisurely: "Now do you know that you feel sorry for your son? It was not like this before when you encouraged him to pursue other female educated youths."

Zhang Hongmei was choked for a moment and continued to argue: "Then what can't you say properly? If you don't achieve anything, why would you beat someone? This is an educated youth from the city! He doesn't have the tolerance of an educated person at all!"

Li Hong chuckled twice, "You should be lucky that this time it's an educated youth named Jiang. If it were still the educated youth named Wei from the beginning, your son's head would be beaten to pieces right now."

 “She dares!”

Zhang Hongmei raised her eyebrows and retorted, while Li Sangsang frowned and muttered impatiently, "Mom, what dad said is true. I was listening to the educated youth chatting in the cafeteria. There are people in Wei's educated youth family who are in the army."

Is there anyone in the army?

The beating to the head was probably not the beating she thought of. She had to take a bullet, right?

Zhang Hongmei shuddered. When she thought of the **** scene, she suddenly felt that it would not be a good thing for her son to find an educated youth wife.

 Zhang Hongmei cared more about her son than enjoying the momentary scenery.

The thoughts in her heart changed. Zhang Hongmei's lips trembled, and her domineering aura turned into pleading. She pulled Li Jiandang and spoke incoherently: "Jiang Dang, we will suffer this loss. In the future, my mother will not let you suffer a second loss. This time Forget it..."

“Don’t look for that educated youth from now on. Let’s find an honest country girl. That’s great!”

Li Jiandang was very moved after hearing what he said before, but when he heard it later, he was not allowed to interact with Jiang Lihua. His rugged and handsome face flashed, and he said in a long voice, "Mother, where are you following me?"

 It’s not like children are playing house. If they say they don’t want to play with others, then they won’t play with them?

"Okay." Li Hong stubbed out the dry cigarette, knocked the cigarette stem on the millstone, and shook off the ashes, "These are twenty-one-two-year-old people, and they are not brats. When will you get rid of your problem of protecting brats?" ?Can you still protect me for the rest of your life?"

“When your son marries a daughter-in-law, he will live with her in the future, not with you. He wants to get what he likes, and he can live happily no matter what. Do you want you to just eat carrots and not worry about it?”

 After Li Hong finished speaking, few people in the courtyard remained silent.

 Li Hong can be a good production captain and has a certain degree of initiative at home.

"But just a little." Li Hong said, glanced at Li Jiandang, and said with a smile: "The matter is not settled yet. If you dare to do anything to other girls before marriage, I will take off your three legs. "

Li Hong raised his hand as if to hit someone, and Li Jiandang ducked his head to the side. This useless look made Li Hong laugh angrily, "You bitch, go ahead and do what you are supposed to do. Wait for me to whip you." ?”

 Li Jiandang ran away quickly.

 The situation in the Li family has stabilized here, but the brother and sister surnamed Jiang are having trouble again.

Jiang Lihua always thought that the best Jiang Cheng could do was to preach to her. She never expected that Jiang Cheng would block the tall and powerful Li Jiandang and beat him up.

Jiang Cheng had been good at studying since he was a child, but had little exercise. Although he was tall, he was thin. Jiang Lihua's first reaction was that he was worried that he would be beaten badly. Unexpectedly, the news he heard was that Li Jiandang's face was bruised and his nose was swollen. Looking at her brother again, he looked like he was fine.

"What are you doing! Can't we talk about something? We have to get along with each other in the same brigade from now on. You offended the production team leader. What will you do next?" Jiang Lihua's face was filled with anger and her face turned red.

“Are you afraid that he will wear small shoes for you in the future, or are you worried about Li Jiandang?”

Jiang Cheng held back and stared at Jiang Lihua. He changed from his usual talkative self and his voice was extremely cold. "I have emphasized the seriousness of this matter to you many times. If you still refuse to face it, I will go to the commune to report it."

Indiscriminate relations between men and women is a big problem. They will be dragged out on the streets. At that time, not only Li Jiandang and Jiang Lihua will be embarrassed and punished, but also all educated youth will be scorned, and the problem will rise to another level.

 At that time, let alone the future, it will be difficult to be a human being.

With weak pupils, Jiang Lihua stepped forward and grabbed his collar, her face full of shock and disbelief, "How dare you!"

"What dare I not do? Don't you want a future? If you are willing to live a hard life with him, it depends on whether he is willing to help you gain fame and a future." Jiang Cheng broke the jar, pushed Jiang Lihua away and turned away. Go, "If you don't believe it, try it."

Jiang Lihua was stunned for a moment. She originally thought that the biggest obstacle was her will, but it turned out that there were still so many obstacles and obstacles behind her.

Unprecedented pressure swept over her body and mind. Jiang Lihua staggered back two steps, lowered her head and froze in place.

Put these aside in advance, and the warmth of the Gu family courtyard remains the same on the other side.

The wedding photos taken in Beijing were scheduled to arrive today. Gu Chao went out early in the morning and went to the post office. Not only did he get the envelope from the photo studio, but he also brought back letters from the Wei family and the Song family.

 In this era, a marriage certificate was just a piece of paper, and wedding photos were never seen in the countryside.

So just as Gu Chaogang opened the envelope, within two seconds of taking out the photo, Grandma Gu snatched it away.

"Is this Wei Lan?" Grandma Gu squinted her eyes, held the photo and walked into the bright place in the courtyard to look at it, "Oh... look at this little girl dressed up like a charming lady from the Republic of China."

 The quality of the color photo is not very clear. The two people in the photo have rosy faces and smooth skin.

Especially Wei Lan, her lips are as red as flower petals, her eyebrows are curved and slender, and her eyes are bright, as if they have been carved, and they are so delicate that they are beyond words.

Grandma Gu picked it up and refused to let go. Counting the one given by the photo studio owner, there were seven photos in total, and she looked at them over and over again.

At the side, Gu Chao was anxious and reached out to take the photo, "Grandma, let me take a look, I haven't looked at it yet..."

"Why are you so anxious?" Grandma Gu raised her eyebrows, her wrinkled old face sank, and slapped Gu Chao's hand away, "It's frizzy, what should I do if it gets torn?"

 Just refused to give the photo to Gu Chao.

Grandparents and grandson were still struggling, and Wei Lan sat by the well holding the letter and started reading.

 The first thing to open was the letter from the Wei family.

The letter responded to what Wei Lan sent last time. Now Wei Lin drinks half a bowl of rice wine made by Grandma Gu before and after meals. However, he only lasts for a few days and the effect is not obvious yet.

Wei’s mother said that she would stick with it for a while and see if there were significant results. She would write to Wei Lan later.

The second part of the letter was mostly about Mother Wei’s gratitude to Aunt Gu and her concern for Wei Lan. Wei Lan told Aunt Gu one by one.

Grandma Gu’s eyes wrinkled slightly. She sat aside and listened very seriously. She didn’t care when the photo in her hand was taken away by Gu Chao.

After Wei Lan finished reading the letter, Grandma Gu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, let's take a look again. Spring has begun and many herbs will emerge in the mountains. Keep an eye out when you go back and dig them up to prepare them first."

Wei Lan quickly said: "Grandma, just leave this matter to us. Just tell me what the herbs look like."

"Why do you need you?" Grandma Gu smiled and waved her hand, "That girl Youlan has learned a few things from me, just ask her to go."

When Wei Lan heard this, it was okay.

 After folding the letters from home, Wei Lan opened the letters from the Song family.

The letter was also stamped with a military stamp. When I opened it, I realized it was a letter from Song Qi.

Song Qi stated in the letter that she knew about Wei Lan's return to Beijing during the Chinese New Year and originally wanted to meet up for a small gathering. However, because she had just established a relationship with Wei Lin at that time, Song's father did not allow her to meet Wei Lin in private, so she did not Come and find her.

Song Qi said in the letter that the two were engaged, and Wei Lin privately confirmed the wedding date with her and planned to get married at the end of April.

Song Qi did not let Wei Lin reveal the news to the Wei family. Instead, she wrote a letter to Wei Lan first.

At the end of the letter, Song Qi hoped that Wei Lan could return to the capital to attend her wedding to Wei Lin.

"April..." Wei Lan raised her eyebrows slightly and folded the letters hesitantly, with a hint of sadness covering her bright white face.

When Gu Chao saw it, he stopped smiling and carefully closed the envelope with the photo. Gu Chao sat next to Wei Lan and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's Song Qi. She and my brother are getting married at the end of April. I want to go back, but..." Wei Lan shook her head, biting her lower lip unconsciously until it turned red, "The Kuaizi project will be busy by then. , it’s not easy to go back.”

Furthermore, her current identity is still that of an educated youth who went to the countryside for re-education, and she came with a mission. It is impossible to leave just as she said.

Gu Chao's palm soothing and rubbing her gently, "Don't promise to be too dead. At that time, do your best to fight for the greatest effort, huh?"

His long hair was messy, and Wei Lan's head resisted shaking and avoided his hand.

But it is undeniable that Gu Chao's gentleness and affection made Wei Lan feel much better, and she inexplicably believed that she would be favored by good luck.

 If you perform well, you should increase your chances of successfully applying for leave, right?

Wei Lan rolled his eyes and came up with this idea. He suddenly stood up and was about to go out. "Last time when I was picking up mushrooms, my aunt who was traveling with me brought a piece of dead wood home. There was a cluster of palm-sized mushrooms on it. Later I heard that After growing it at home for two days, the mushrooms grew into a cluster as big as a plate."

Wei Lan glanced sideways at Gu Chao, who was following behind him, "In this case, can we also try to grow mushrooms ourselves?"

Mushroom seeds are spores. Spores are dusty and difficult to extract when floating in the air. However, if you can find a way to cultivate mycelium and provide suitable temperature and environment, it will not be difficult to grow mushrooms.
