MTL - I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses-Chapter 445 I'll give you an explanation

Chapter 445 will give you an explanation

"They all have stomach upsets..." When faced with lesbians, the young men were not as anxious as they were with **** men. They just muttered and expressed their thoughts tactfully: "Isn't it a matter of food?"

"You said it's the food that's the problem?" Li Sangsang slammed the table and stopped working. "We worked hard for most of the day to make this meal and dishes. We boiled everything several times before cooking. , it’s impossible to have any problems after washing it several times!”

“But we were fine before, it was just after we had a meal that the problem arose…”

The only things that can cause diarrhea are convenient food and drink. But the problem is that everyone eats breakfast at home, and the water they drink when working in the fields is brought from the teapot at home.

There has been no problem before, but now so many people have been infected all of a sudden, it is really scary.

The two parties were arguing endlessly. Wei Lan frowned slightly and went back to the kitchen to get another pair of chopsticks. In front of everyone, he picked up the vegetable moss from the big bowl on the table and put it into his mouth.

"Hey...don't, Wei Zhiqing! What if, what if it's really about the food..." Several young men looked nervous, fearing that Wei Lan would also fall into the trap.

 Wei Lan waved her hand and asked Jiang Lihua to get a clean bowl, filled half the bowl of soup and drank it.

Wei Lan estimated the time and waited quietly for five minutes, but did not feel any discomfort.

Li Sangsang raised his eyebrows and snorted, "See, I just said it, it's not about the food at all."

There was a dark-faced young man scratching his head and muttering: "No, it's not a good dish. Could it be brown rice?"

 This is obviously nitpicking!

 “You!” Li Sangsang glared, feeling that these people were disrespectful.

Just before Li Sangsang could come forward to argue with others, Jiang Lihua stopped her and said, "Forget it, it's better to do less than to do more."

Jiang Lihua turned to look at the dark-faced young man, "Are you worried that it's the rice that's the problem? I'll eat it for you to see."

Having said that, Jiang Lihua didn't mind it, so she chose a bowl of untouched brown rice from the table, took the chopsticks from Wei Lan's hand, sat on the chair and started eating generously.

 Another five minutes passed, and Jiang Lihua did not feel any discomfort.

Li Sangsang's eyes turned red with anger, and he glared at the tall young men in the hall, "You are bullying others! I will sue you to the captain!"

“Hey! Hey! Come on, Sang Zaoer, we didn’t mean that. This matter is related to the progress of the sunflower seed project. It’s always right to be careful... Don’t misunderstand me!”

The young men were anxious and hurried out of the Sunflower Seed Project for fear of making things worse. They thought that Li Sangsang could sympathize with their hard work and let them go this time.

Bullying a female colleague is not a trivial matter and must be reviewed publicly.

 It's just that the boys made the wrong idea. It would be better not to mention the sunflower seed project. This time, Li Sangsang became even more enthusiastic.

Li Sangsang sneered and ran out: "Okay! Things have gotten into trouble anyway, and it is not a trivial matter related to the Sunflower Seed Project, so we should ask the team leader to comment!"

 "No, no, Sang Zao'er! Oh, Sang Zao'er, can't we do it if we are wrong? No, no!"

As soon as Gu Sande entered the courtyard gate, he saw a group of young men gathered in front of the door and begged.

After being stunned for a while, Gu Sande came back to his senses and yelled loudly: "What are you doing?"

The young men were all stunned for a moment, and then looked at the door in a daze.

Li Sangsang seized the opportunity and rushed out, "Captain, you're here just in time! I have something to report to you!"

"Okay, come in, speak slowly." Gu Sande frowned, waved his hands and walked towards the house.

 The Sunflower Seed Project is currently the hammer that weighs on the brigade. It is also responsible for success and failure. It is true that many people, like Li Sangsang, have a strong sense of collective honor in their hearts.

No, among the dozen or so people who ran out with diarrhea just now, one of them had mild symptoms. After solving the problem, he turned around and went to tell Gu Sande about the matter.

 This is also the reason why Gu Sande appeared so timely.

"As soon as our meal was served, they didn't take even two bites. One by one, they complained of stomachache and then ran away for the most part. The remaining ones must have had something wrong with our cooking!" Li Sangsang said, feeling angry. For a long time, they were just talking angrily and didn’t get to the point at all.

Gu Sande clasped his hands behind his back, frowned and looked around the table, seeming to be thinking about something.

Just in this moment, another young man lost the half-bitten sweet potato in his hand, hugged his stomach and complained that he had a stomachache, and ran out of the house in an instant and disappeared.

Wei Lan walked back from the yard and picked up the sweet potatoes rolling on the corner of the table. An idea flashed across her mind. She frowned and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Lihua and said, "It's sweet potatoes!"

Jiang Lihua looked dumbfounded, "Ah? What sweet potato? What's wrong with the sweet potato?"

“The vegetables and brown rice were washed with water brought from the brigade captain’s house later. The sweet potatoes were already being washed when I came to the canteen.” Wei Lan quickly walked to the table and looked at it carefully.

As expected, most of the sweet potatoes corresponding to the tableware and chopsticks had been bitten or eaten, and only two or three were intact.

Wei Lan turned to look at Jiang Lihua, "Do you use water from the tank for sweet potatoes?"

 Jiang Lihua's face turned pale, she nodded, and asked uncertainly: "Is it, is it a water problem?"

“Most likely.” Wei Lan nodded, and after a moment, she turned to Gu Sande and summarized what happened in the morning in a few words.

Gu Sande followed the instructions and approached the water tank, leaning over the edge of the tank and looking at it for a long time.

Wei Lan and others didn't know what Gu Sande saw. They saw Gu Sande bending the sleeve of his left arm, reaching into the water with his dark and powerful arm, and pulled out two pieces of scum like nut shells from the bottom of the water. .

"This, this is..." Wei Lan raised her eyebrows and wanted to take a closer look, but Gu Sande had already closed his palms.

Gu Sande looked serious and glanced at everyone, "Dirty things fell into the water. Turn around and carry the water tank into the kitchen. From now on, no one is allowed to enter the kitchen except those who cook and dive."

"yes…"

"yes."

The voices of the crowd rose and fell one after another. Wei Lan pursed her lips slightly, understanding in her heart.

Gu Sande, this is deliberately suppressing the matter.

What is that crumb-like thing?

Wei Lan lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Over there, Gu Sande said again: "The seeds in the ground have just sprouted. There is no particularly heavy work, just weeding. I have decided to give you a day off today. Go back and have a rest. We will start tomorrow. Do it early.”

After shooing away a group of young men, Gu Sande turned to look at Wei Lan and the others, "I know you three were wronged and angry, but most of the people in the team are idiots who have never read a book or seen the world. Among so many people, There are always one or two uncivilized people.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter.”

Gu Sande gave the three girls a promise, then turned around and left with a bluffing face.

The three girls were busy cleaning up the mess on the table. Jiang Lihua was distracted and almost broke the bowl, but Wei Lan quickly caught it.

 “What’s wrong?” Wei Lan looked worried. Jiang Lihua shook her head and smiled reluctantly, "No, it's nothing."

Wei Lan's black peach blossom eyes stared at Jiang Lihua without blinking. Jiang Lihua couldn't hold on, her smile fell, and she couldn't hide her worry, "In the end, it all depends on me."

At that time, the brigade's aunt came over and kept wandering around the yard praising the openness of the kitchen and so on. Jiang Lihua answered a few words and noticed that the water in the water tank was a little turbid when fetching water.

 What Jiang Lihua was thinking at that time was that the Li brothers and sisters picked the water. Since the water tanks were filled, there should be no problem, so she felt free to use it.

How did you know that the bad thing is on the water?

Jiang Lihua was secretly afraid, one of which was that she would not be able to get a place in the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University. What was even more afraid was that this matter would implicate Jiang Cheng and her.

Wei Lan knew Jiang Lihua's worries, but with Gu Sande's behavior just now, we could basically conclude that it was a water problem.

 But then again, what Gu Sande said is equivalent to making his attitude clear, and this matter will not be stated openly.

With the words on the tip of his tongue, Wei Lan consoled him: "Don't worry, it may not be a water problem, so what if it is? We didn't put the dirty things there, so we can monitor and prevent them in all directions, right?"

Jiang Lihua nodded, still worried after a busy meal.

Wei Lan couldn’t help but sigh after looking at it.

 Forget it, it’s not easy to dissuade this matter. We can only wait for the news from the captain to be implemented. By then we will understand that the matter has nothing to do with us, and Jiang Lihua will naturally recover as before.

After finishing the cleaning, Wei Lan took off his clothes and hung them neatly behind the kitchen door. "I'm going back first."

“Okay, you go first, I’ll click on the things and go back.”

 …

The door of the Gu family courtyard was ajar. Wei Lan closed the door after entering the courtyard. She called out "grandma, grandma" several times, and finally found someone in the backyard.

It has been getting warmer these days, and the small stove at home has been out of use for a while, but it was lit again today, and it was just placed on the platform next to the well mouth.

There was a small fire on the small stove, with wisps of white smoke, and the water in the pot was boiling and bubbling.

The aroma of marinated meat spread into her nose, and Wei Lan shrugged, "It smells so good!"

Youlan fell down while digging wild vegetables, and her knees were scratched by a stone. At this moment, Grandma Gu was sitting in the small maza with her back to the kitchen back door, sewing, and she was sitting with her chin in her hands, watching.

Hearing the commotion, You Lan quickly turned her head, her dark eyes curved into small crescents, she was very well-behaved, "Sister Lan! Grandma is braised eggs! This time, the meat skin is put in, it is delicious!"

Wei Lan made Braised Eggs once. At that time, there were very few seasonings and ingredients. He only added a little tea leaf, a thumb-sized piece of cinnamon, and soy sauce for coloring.

Although there was little seasoning, the hard-boiled eggs were still popular. Gu Chao ate three of the six eggs, leaving one for each of Wei Lan, Gu Apo, and You Lan.

Wei Lan was very happy. She seemed to have mentioned it at that time, saying that when braised eggs, it would be more delicious to marinate them with a piece of meat skin. Unexpectedly, Grandma Gu really remembered it.

Going to the well and filling up half a bucket of water to wash her hands, Wei Lan smiled brightly and stretched out her hand to lightly scratch the tip of Zuo Lan's nose, "Well, I smell it!"

You Lan chuckled loudly, stared at Wei Lan for a while and said seriously: "I was originally going to deliver the eggs to Sister Lan. My grandma said that they taste better if they are braised for a while. I will eat them when Sister Lan comes back. They will be even more delicious!"

 The conditions for the Gu family have changed, but it is still not suitable to be exposed to outsiders.

 A boiled egg is already a luxury, not to mention a stewed egg with various condiments added. If someone finds it, it is too small to say that you are talking too much. If it is serious, you may be reported.

 Some people just can’t bear to see others living better than themselves.

Thinking about this, Wei Lan thought of the lunch canteen again.

The skin of the slender fingers is shiny and white, more delicate than the newly grown buds of the jasmine tree in the corner of the yard. At this time, they are clasping along the rough edges of the pony.

He didn’t see her speaking. Grandma Gu glanced over her with her peripheral vision several times, and finally couldn’t help but stop what she was doing, turned around and looked over, “What’s going on again?”

Wei Lan looked at her with a sly expression and touched the tip of her nose, "Has grandma seen it?"

Grandma Gu hummed and said with a smile: "Everything on your mind is written on your face, only a blind person can't see it."

Wei Lan's pink cheeks puffed up and she said sternly: "Grandma already knows, why are you still asking?"

 You can tell that something is on your mind, but you can’t tell what happened.

"Pi Yatou!" Grandma Gu cursed, stabbed the small ball back with a needle, and raised her hand to scare Wei Lan, pretending to hit her.

Wei Lan put her hands in front of her forehead and pushed her **** against the ponytail and moved back, "Okay, grandma! That's it! Don't hit, don't hit!"

The bamboo forest swayed, the shadows of the trees danced, and the rustling of the wind drowned out the whispers of the young girl Wu Nong in the backyard.

After listening to Wei Lan's narration, Grandma Gu narrowed her old eyes and thought for a moment, then asked, "What color? Tree bark color?"

Different trees, or trees of different ages, have different bark colors. Wei Lan was afraid that Grandma Gu would get the wrong idea, so she got up and walked around the yard. She originally wanted to find one with a similar color to show to Grandma Gu, so she walked around. But none was found.

Wei Lan slapped her head, remembered something, turned around, picked up the maza, and sat back in front of her grandma.

She rolled up her trouser legs to reveal her delicate white calves. She opened a corner of her cotton socks with her slender fingers, hooked the red string and pulled out a small toad-like peach core from the cotton socks.

Gu Chao tied it tightly, and Wei Lan couldn't untie it for a long time. He couldn't lift his feet in front of Grandma Gu, so he had to hold the toad and pull it out so that Grandma Gu could see more clearly, "Grandma, this pervert, That scumbag is the same color as a peach core!"

Grandma Gu paused for a moment, then got up and walked into the house without saying anything.

Wei Lan stuffed the toad back and put down his trousers, while stretching his neck, "What's the matter, grandma?"

Grandma Gu quickly brought a box back and opened it in front of Wei Lan. From it, she took out a handful of black or brown beans-like nuts for Wei Lan to see, "Is this it?"

Wei Lan pointed at the brown one inside and nodded, "This is it, this is it!"

　　Although there is only one part, Wei Lan knows that it is the one that cannot be mistaken.

"Grandma, what on earth is this?" Wei Lan picked up one from Grandma Gu's hand, put it in front of her nose and smelled it, then slid it all the way down and pursed her lips as if to try it in her mouth.

"Don't mess around." Grandma Gu quickly snatched it back, "This is croton. It is hot in nature and pungent in taste. Its functions are to break up accumulation, drive water, and produce phlegm and saliva. Eating it carelessly will cause diarrhea."

Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, and then stood up suddenly with a sudden movement. Grandma Gu was so shocked that she leaned back and almost fell down.
