Chapter 505: Marriage

Xiaochen nodded seriously, "What about Zhizhi? Is she still my sister?"

Wei Lan smiled and said: "Zhizhi is Xiaochen's cousin, just call her sister."

 Xiao Chen frowned, "Why can't I be the elder brother?"

“It’s just the title that changes, not the age.” Wei Lan gently tapped the tip of Xiao Chen’s nose, smiling gently, “As for being a brother... there will always be a chance in the future.”

Xiaochen's eyes lit up for a moment, and she touched Wei Lan's belly with her little hand and asked in surprise: "Is mommy going to have a baby?"

 The sound of "Jiaojiao" once again stunned Wei Lan.

At that time in Haishi, she had a big belly and couldn't tell whether the child was a boy or a girl, so she named each child. When she had nothing to do, she always liked to call the name to talk to the child in her belly.

Yanyi knew the name she had chosen, but since the baby was a boy, his name was naturally "Chen". When he sent Xiaochen to the Wei family, he would only tell the Wei family that the child was called "Chen", and it was impossible to mention a name. .

So, how did Xiaochen know "Jiaojiao"?

Wei Lan pulled Xiao Chen and asked hesitantly: "You...you know Jiaojiao?"

Xiao Chen pouted and looked confused, "Didn't mom say that?"

“I heard it in my dream. My mother said that she would take Xiaochen and Jiaojiao to ride on the waves and dig for crabs…”

As the childish voice settled, Wei Lan's memory seemed to flash back to a certain afternoon in Haishi:

The sun was dappled, and the sound of waves and ship whistles could be heard in the distance. She was sitting on a pony under the eaves, her long hair hanging down naturally, her hands holding her swollen belly, and her face full of expectant smiles...

Wei Lan fell into memories, with the same smile on her face as before, but her eyes gradually became dull, as if she had become the same girl trapped in the courtyard again.

 “Mom!” Xiaochen didn’t like Wei Lan feeling like this, so she sat in Wei Lan’s arms and twisted around.

For a moment, Wei Lan shivered, her thoughts returned, and she looked at the little guy in her arms in confusion: "What's wrong?"

 Four years of closed life must have left an indelible mark on Wei Lan’s heart.

 Everything seems to be fine, but actually the nerves are still fragile.

 …

The marriage was a sure thing, but it still took Gu Chao an entire afternoon to get Wei Mu to let go.

Just like when Gu Chao came to the Wei family for the first time, Mother Wei once again warned her carefully: "The child is so old, it doesn't matter if I don't agree to this matter. But remember, I agree to this marriage because of my girl." I fell in love with you not because I, the old Wei family, thought it was an "ugly matter" and were anxious to do something good."

"Lan Lan is the treasure of our Wei family. If you can't love her and care for her wholeheartedly, there is no need to get married. Her and I can support her."

 The implication is that she doesn't want Wei Lan to suffer at all, and is willing to be Wei Lan's support for her whole life and stand up for her.

If you put it to other people, the request may be a bit excessive. After all, how can there be a time when a husband and wife are not blushing when they live their lives?

 But it is Gu Chao who is facing this matter now.

"There will be no one in this world who loves her more than me." Gu Chao's face was cold and his voice was low and firm: "She will also be the treasure of my Gu family."

Mother Wei's pupils were shimmering with tears, and she turned her head to wipe away the tears.

She knew that Gu Chao would treat her daughter well, but there was still a thorn in her heart, fearing that Gu Chao would not be able to take care of Wei Lan like he did before.

　　However, when the marriage of her children comes to the door, she cannot just worry about it and wait for it to be postponed.

 …

After the marriage was finalized, Wei's mother checked the date and saw that there would be a good time after spring next year, so the wedding date of Gu Chao and Wei Lan was set on the 19th day of the first lunar month of the next year.

Before this, Wei's mother originally wanted to separate Wei Lan and Gu Chao and prevent them from seeing each other before marriage, but she gave up because of Wei Lan's unstable mental state.

Every time after the sun sets, there is a layer of indigo glow on the horizon. At that time, although it is dimly lit outside, the house is dark. Every household will light up the electric lamp, but Wei Lan has no consciousness of lighting up.

At first, Wei’s mother would often nag her once or twice. As the number of times increased, and every time Wei Lan would move a small stool and hide in various hidden corners of the house, Wei’s mother gradually realized that something was wrong.

After repeated questioning, Gu Chaocai revealed that due to some things, Wei Lan's mental condition has not been very good, and she is often negative without anyone by her side.

Gu Chao knew what to say and what not to say, and Wei Xueliang's instructions before leaving, he said that he was avoiding the important and taking the easy. Although Wei's mother was dissatisfied, she really couldn't ask anything, so she had to give up.

 Just shed tears to Wei Lan many times in private, crying about how such a good girl was wasted like this?

 In this case, the customs and etiquette were gradually forgotten, and Gu Chao temporarily stayed in the Gu family.

In order to facilitate the care of Wei Lan and give Wei Lan a greater sense of security, the Wei family did not even force them to share rooms.

As for Xie Jinghong and You Lan, they ran around the capital for a few days and visited all the major attractions. Under Gu Chao's instructions, they returned to Haishi first.

 Business matters still need people to keep an eye on them.

 When Wei Lan's condition gets better, the two parties will meet in Province H.

On the one hand, Gu Yang and the others need to be informed of the wedding date. On the other hand, Gu Chao also wants to take Wei Lan and Xiao Chen back to meet Grandma Gu.

However, because of Youlan's incident, Wei Lan and Gu Chao got embarrassed in private.

Wei Lan helped Youlan with her studies when she went to the countryside. In recent years, under Xie Jinghong's supervision, Youlan's study progress has never fallen behind.

Ke Youlan mostly studies at home. He has never experienced campus life and does not have any diplomas.

These things are of no use now, but they will be of great use in the future. Another one, You Lan is in her youth and should experience campus life, lest it be too late when she grows up and it will be difficult to experience it again.

 Not only Youlan, but also Xie Jinghong.

Wei Lan’s idea of ​​sending Xie Jinghong and You Lan to school conflicts with Gu Chao.

 After being separated for the past four years, Gu Chao just wanted to be with Wei Lan and live an ordinary life.

Ju Chao's current assets may be relatively low in the country, but if they are placed in the capital, few people can match him.

The money in their hands is enough for them to live a prosperous and comfortable life.

 But if he wants to be comfortable, he must have a reliable person to take care of his business, and this reliable person is Xie Jinghong.

If Xie Jinghong was sent to school, Gu Chao would have to do business by himself.

Of course Gu Chao is not willing.

 But at Wei Lan’s insistence, Gu Chao compromised.

 Because Wei Lan had described the future for him, his career had already improved, and it would be a pity to stop there. Moreover, the country needed people like them.

　　With two "rustling" sounds, the nearly completed pattern was marked with diagonal lines with a pencil.

Wei Lan didn't look, but looked out the window.

The windows on the second floor correspond to the direction of Jingshan. At this time, half of the sun's face is hidden behind Jingshan, and half of the mountain is shrouded in the afterglow.

· Gu Chao's career is going very smoothly. Perhaps because of her instructions, he has brought in a lot of foreign exchange for the country in recent years. As a result, the original "80" state-owned enterprises were paralyzed and the mass layoffs were buffered, but they have gradually shown signs of success recently.

 It is not enough to patronize the country alone. We need to mobilize more people to win more foreign exchange and lead the country to prosperity.

 Only when the Chinese people stand up for themselves can we truly avoid the trend of "all people being laid off".

Just as I was deep in thought, the room suddenly became bright.

Wei Lan turned around, and Gu Chao closed the door behind him and walked over with an enamel jar, "Why don't you turn on the light when you are painting?"

Wei Lan frowned, her eyes widened, "I forgot!"

Gu Chao understood clearly and was not in a hurry that Wei Lan could recover as before.

 He put the enamel jar on the table, pushed it all the way to Wei Lan, and took out the paper under Wei Lan's hand and looked at it carefully, "This is..."

The patterns on the paper are complex, but very beautiful. At first glance, they look like ordinary squares, but upon closer inspection, you realize that they are made of various flowers and vines.

 Similar patterns Gu Chao had seen in the UK a few years ago. The favorites of foreigners, carpets, door frames and even walls all have this pattern.

 “Don’t look! I just started drawing...”

Rococo-style patterns are very complicated. Wei Lan’s painting skills are average, and he only has a few rulers as tools at the moment. You can imagine what kind of effect it will be like...

Wei Lan stretched out her hand to grab it, but Gu Chao pushed her back, "Drink quickly. Your mother will be here soon. If you want to drink, there will be no more."

Wei Lan lowered her head when she heard the sound, and saw half a cup of yellow-orange liquid in the enamel jar on the table, "Arctic Ocean?"

 It’s really great to take a sip!

It was hot last week, and Xiaochen and Zhizhi refused to eat because of the fuss, and it was useless to coax them. In the end, it was Wei Lin who brought back two bottles of Arctic Ocean soda to solve the problem.

But Wei Lin probably didn't expect that from that day on, in addition to the two young ones, Wei Lan also wanted to go to the Arctic Ocean.

Wei Lan wants to drink, can Gu Chao not buy it for her?

 I brought back two boxes that afternoon. It was just a coincidence that Wei Lan was in his childhood.

Bei Bingyangguang didn’t tell her that he couldn’t drink, but Mother Wei forced her to drink several large glasses of brown sugar water.

The past two days have just passed away, and Mother Wei's monitoring has not relaxed. Just now, when Gu Chao came into the house with an enamel jar, she thought it was the brown sugar water Mother Wei asked him to bring.

Beibingyang Gu Chao has soaked it in hot water. It tastes warm now and lacks the punch of normal temperature, but it is still delicious.

There was only half a cup, and Wei Lan couldn't bear to finish it in one gulp, so she drank slowly and in small sips.

 As for the half-finished drawing?

Gu Chao can watch it if he wants, as long as he gives her some Arctic Ocean spots next time.

While Gu Chao was looking at the drawings, Wei Lan asked, "Brother Chao, how much money do we have now?"

"Why are you asking this?" Gu Chao glanced at her. The drawing was placed on the table. Gu Chao clicked on it. "This is too complicated and hurts your eyes when you draw it. If you want to draw something else, just draw something else."

"I don't draw every day. Isn't it enough to draw one once a week or a month?" Wei Lan was unhappy and covered the painting. After a while, she wriggled her lips and pulled the corner of Gu Chao's shirt. "You haven't said it yet. What is the fate of our family?" How much money do you have?"

The sound of "our family" pleased Gu Chao. He leaned against the edge of the table with his lower back and pursed his lips into a smile. "Last year, the market value of fixed and invisible industries was estimated at 1.48 billion U.S. dollars, with working capital of 214 million. The free disposal is about Eighty million.”

 Fluffing Wei Lan’s high ponytail on the back of her head with her big hands, Gu Chao asked again: “Is there anything I need money for?”
