MTL - I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses-Chapter 73 First clues
Chapter 73 The first clues
Grandma Gu had already prepared the meal, and she had been sitting in the pot until Gu Chao came back.
Hearing Gu Chao's return, Grandma Gu hurriedly called to Youlan to bring a bowl of rice, "Lanya, take the dishes out first, be careful not to spill them."
You Lan nodded obediently. She had been hungry for a long time. As soon as she heard that she could eat, she quickly ran to the main room with the vegetable bowl. When she saw the person coming in behind her brother at the courtyard door, her eyes lit up, "Sister Lan!"
“Grandma, Sister Lan is here!”
You Lan shouted to the kitchen. Grandma Gu didn't believe it at first, but she came out to see Wei Lan really coming, and hurriedly asked her to sit down, "Brother Chao, please tell Wei Zhiqing to sit down first. We've made enough rice today, so I'll go get a bowl." .”
Gu Chao nodded and led Wei Lan to sit down at the table.
Seeing Wei Lan sit down, he also sat down without moving.
Wei Lan tilted her head and poked his arm, "How about you go get two more bowls?"
She had no plans to go back to the educated youth camp at noon. She had not figured out how to cook for the educated youth camp recently because of the food ration problem. Even if she went back, there would be no one to cook, and she was too lazy to move by herself.
Gu Chao suggested that she come over for dinner, but she couldn't come empty-handed. Before coming, she went back to the educated youth point and brought the remaining two cans of meat.
In addition to the clothes, the package that Wei Xueliang sent took up the largest area. Wei Lan had opened one before. Generally speaking, it tasted good, but she could always taste a faint fishy smell. Because of this, these cans Canned food had already fallen out of favor with her.
The brigade usually kills pigs at the end of the year and distributes the meat. Most of the pork in the town is supplied to people who eat commercial grain in the town. People who want to eat have to queue up early, but they may not be able to buy it.
Wei Lan felt that the Gu family would like it if it was so difficult to see meat and fish.
At the table, Grandma Gu and Gu Chao were very reserved and tried not to look at the cans. Only the child, You Lan, stared at it for several times without daring to pick up a chopstick.
Wei Lan looked distressed and put some on the plate for her. The little girl enjoyed it very much.
Wei Lan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes narrowed. Grandma Gu looked at her and sighed, "You kid, you came here as soon as you come, and you bring such valuable things. Doesn't this can cost several yuan a piece?"
"Why is it so expensive? It was given to me by the place where my dad works. I don't like to eat it." Wei Lan smiled, "You Lan can just eat it if you like it. It's better than wasting it, isn't it?"
Grandma Gu didn’t believe what Wei Lan said. She pushed the bamboo leaf vegetables stir-fried with chili peppers on the table in front of Wei Lan, “I’m not blind or deaf. Meat is a precious thing these days. Don’t fool me.”
"Hehe." Wei Lan said nothing with her eyes bent, and glanced at Gu Chao. The latter only immersed himself in eating. She gently pushed the cans poured out from the plate in front of him, "Brother Chao, you Want to try it too?"
Gu Chao looked at her sideways, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a little bit to taste it.
Wei Lan looked at him with bright eyes, his face reflected in the dark pupils, "How about Chao, brother, is it delicious?"
Gu Chao nodded, "Yeah, it looks good."
Wei Lan raised her eyebrows, puzzled, "What's so good about it? I'm asking you if it tastes good!"
“Cough—cough cough—”
Seeing that the man was choking and coughing, Wei Lan didn't care about anything else and reached out to pat him on the back, "I-I didn't say anything, why are you in such a hurry..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Gu Chao realized something was wrong. Wei Lan asked. He was anxious to get over the words, but he was choked by his distraction.
That soft, boneless hand patted his back, which became more and more unsettling. Gu Chao frowned and inadvertently met Grandma Gu's scrutinizing gaze, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.
