MTL - I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses-Chapter 540 starting line
Chapter 540 The starting line
Fang Xia made signs in sign language for a long time, saying that she would wait until two days before the National Day before taking it with her. Sister Han reluctantly agreed.
Wei Lan walked to the kitchen carrying two bowls of brown sugar water, and said with a smile: "If she wants it, just give it to her. With such a big bag, it can last two years for two heads."
It's okay now. Sister Han stomped her foot and had to tie her head with a colored rubber band. Fang Xia looked at Wei Lan, neither angry nor smiling.
Wei Lan suppressed a smile and ran into the kitchen in two steps.
Jiang Lihua held her belly and looked at her, "Isn't the little girl cute?"
“Yeah.” Wei Lan handed her hand in front of her, sat down and nodded.
Jiang Lihua held the enamel jar and said, "Lin Qing's first child was a girl. I held her in my arms when she was born, but then she went to school, and I haven't seen her since. But they both look good, girl." The designated appearance is also standard.”
As she spoke, Jiang Lihua turned back to Wei Lan. She glanced at Wei Lan and asked, "When did you and Gu Chao meet? Are you married?"
Wei Lan paused in blowing the hot air and shook her head, "It's been a while since we met. I'm planning to get married in the first month of next year."
"The first month of next year? There's still more than half a year left!" Jiang Lihua's eyes widened, "You're not young anymore, why don't you think about getting married and having a baby soon? My baby will be born soon. Don't worry about it later. My child is in elementary school and you were just pregnant?"
Wei Lan raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Lihua, without saying anything. He lowered his head and continued to blow the hot air in the enamel jar instead of taking a sip.
What did you say? What else can I say?
I can’t say that although I’m not married, my son is almost five years old, right?
Although there are few people getting marriage certificates these days, a child as big as Xiaochen cannot fool people.
As an individual, if you push forward based on Xiaochen's age, you will know what's going on.
Wei Lan didn't think there was anything shameful about it, but she knew Jiang Lihua's temperament. If she found out about this, she would have to lift the roof halfway.
Wei Lan blew lightly into the enamel jar, feeling a little funny in her heart. But before the smile could hang on her lips, there was a commotion in the main room, followed by a series of "ta-da-da" footsteps.
It was accompanied by the excited and excited screams of children.
“Ahhhh! Auntie!”
“Aunt!”
"Mother!"
Wei Lan twitched the corner of her mouth. She originally thought these little guys were quite cute, but at this moment she suddenly felt that the noise was too much.
Wei Lan put down the enamel jar and turned around slightly, and Jiang Lihua followed her towards the doorway and tilted her neck. She was originally going to say that she had heard Gu Shao call Fang Xia Niang before, but she suddenly changed her tune.
Before the words could be spoken, two boys of average height and Calabash Baby rushed into Wei Lan's arms as if to save his grandpa.
“Mom, lotus! There are fish in that lake, and there are still more. Dad can swim very fast!”
"Oh, brother, don't talk, let me talk first!" Brother Shao squeezed Xiao Chen aside, hugged Wei Lan's knees and said excitedly: "Little aunt, uncle caught a fish! He also said that he was going to catch river shrimps, we He’s just coming back to get the bucket, shall we go with you, little aunt?”
Brother Shao was shirtless, with his belly exposed, and he was wearing a pair of boxer briefs that were either wet or dry.
Xiao Chen was wearing Gu Chao's half-sleeved shirt, covering it directly from his neck to his ankles.
The two boys' heads exploded like hedgehogs and were still dripping with water. Judging from their posture, they must have followed Gu Chao and played in the water.
In this moment, while taking the opportunity to talk, Wei Lan's clothes on her chest were all wet.
"I said it, I said it! This is my mother, let me say it first!" Xiaochen's light black brows knit together in displeasure, twisting her buttocks to push Brother Shao to the side.
The two little guys, you push me, I push you. Seeing that they were about to fight, Wei Lan quickly pulled the two away and shouted at the top of his voice, "Brother Chao, Brother Chao? Bring two clean clothes!" "
After saying that, he turned around and grabbed Xiaochen's shoulders to stop him from twisting around, "Don't make any trouble, or I'll spank you soon!"
Unable to look away, the two little guys blushed, holding their buttocks and retreating towards the kitchen door.
Jiang Lihua on the side had already widened her eyes, her eyes flitting between Wei Lan and Xiao Chen in disbelief, "Ah this... this? It's from Gu Chao?"
Looking at it, he is definitely Gu Chao's, but he calls Wei Lan "mom". So, is this the child of Gu Chao and Wei Lan?
Looking at his appearance, Xiaochen can definitely see the shadow of Wei Lan on his face, especially his eyes.
Jiang Lihua frowned and scratched her head.
Her expression caught Wei Lan's eye, and it looked like the expression of an old man looking at his cell phone on the subway.
"Okay, I know what you want to ask." Wei Lan waved to Xiao Chen, grabbed her waist and lifted her up. Xiao Chen sat on her lap, "It's me and Gu Chao. My name is Xiao Chen. It was there the year of the flood."
“Then, it was already there at that time? You are so bold!” Jiang Lihua said in shock.
Wei Lan smiled and said nothing, are you brave? maybe.
Xiao Chen also wore boxers underneath, and Wei Lan peeled off the shirt on her body, revealing her round, white belly. Standing with Brother Shao, they looked more like twins than twins.
Wei Lan didn't realize it was a little funny. At this moment, Gu Chao walked into the kitchen with one leg. He was no better than two fathers.
Hair that was usually neatly combed and ascetic was now wet on top of his head, his upper body was bare, revealing his strong waist and abdomen, and the legs of his professional suit trousers were rolled up to his knees. Although he was nondescript, he was full of pyrotechnics. Handsome, excellent, capable, and alive, not a paper person in a novel.
Wei Lan pursed her lips with emotion and smiled. Over there, Gu Chao realized that there were still outsiders in the kitchen, so he took his long legs back and said, "I'll go change my clothes first."
"Then you take them both to change together!" Wei Lan put Xiao Chen on the ground and patted Xiao Chen and Brother Shao on the buttocks respectively. "Go and change clothes first. Come over and say hello to aunt later."
As soon as the two little guys left, Wei Lan turned to look at Jiang Lihua.
Jiang Lihua on the other end held her head in both hands, with a confused look on her face, "I'm a little confused. Is this child really from the year when he had a big problem? At that time, you and Gu Chao hadn't accomplished anything yet, how dare you, you Do you dare?"
Jiang Lihua’s face turned red and she was embarrassed to continue talking.
Not to mention that people in this era were conservative and could not accept having children out of wedlock. Even in later generations, most people would not be able to accept it.
Wei Lan didn't know how to answer this question, but she heard Jiang Lihua sigh with emotion: "But having said that, if there hadn't been that flood, maybe you would have been married by then."
“How did you two have children? Is it because you two have the best qualities? Ahhhh—”
Jiang Lihua said and suddenly shouted, which startled Wei Lan and thought something had happened to her.
But she turned into a contradiction in one second, clasped the table and said angrily: "I was still laughing at you just now. When your child was born, my children were already in elementary school. Now it seems that your children are in elementary school, and my children are in elementary school." Not even born yet!”
“Not only will they go to school, but your children will also get married and have children before my children! It’s not fair! It’s not fair! My children were lost at the starting line even before they were born!”
∣
Jiang Lihua was still roaring in confusion, and Wei Lan couldn't help laughing.
It turns out that in this era, some people already know the saying "children lose at the starting line"?
“Okay, you are a pregnant woman now, don’t have too much emotional range, it is not good for the fetus.”
Jiang Lihua reacted immediately, "That's right, that's right...just lose, as long as the child is healthy."
After speaking, don’t forget to take a few deep breaths.
Jiang Lihua's temperament seems to have always been like this.
When we first met, I thought he was domineering and aggressive, but after getting along for a long time, I found that he is actually a solid person who never hides his words.
Wei Lan's lips curled up. Later, when Jiang Lihua excitedly talked about something else, she held her chin on one side and listened carefully.
After all, idleness is idleness, and chatting and gossiping is also comfortable.
After chatting for a while, Gu Chao entered the kitchen.
In the past, in front of Wei Lan's educated youth friends, he never spoke much, but this is the case now.
He placed two sections of white and tender lotus root in front of Wei Lan and said, "Eat it first. There are lotus pods in front of you. I'll get some more."
The lotus roots in this season are very tender and have no flour yet, so they are very sweet when eaten raw.
Wei Lan said "Hmm" and pushed one in front of Jiang Lihua with a smile, "Talking while eating."
Jiang Lihua picked up the tender lotus root and took a bite, saying, "How embarrassing is that? It makes me look like someone who comes here to eat and drink."
Wei Lan rolled her eyes and said, "Swallow what's in your mouth first before you say this."
Jiang Lihua laughed and stopped talking, holding the tender lotus root in her hand and gnawing on it even more happily.
After that, Gu Chao brought the lotus pods again. It was not easy for him to interrupt the girls talking about girls, so he simply took Brother Shao and Xiao Chen to the other side of the river ditch.
Jiang Lihua ate and drank at Gu's house. It was not until dusk that Li Jiandang came to look for her, and then she got up and thought about going back.
Li Jiandang was standing in front of the Gu Family Courtyard waiting. When he saw Jiang Lihua and Wei Lan walking slowly from the house talking and laughing, he felt a little dazed. After only a moment, he came back to his senses and nodded to Wei Lan, waving to him. Go help Jiang Lihua.
Jiang Lihua slapped his hand away with a "tsk" sound, "I just have a big belly and there's nothing wrong with my legs. Let's get out of here!"
With that said, she walked straight in front of Li Jiandang. After exiting the Gu family courtyard, she turned around and asked, "By the way, Wei Lan, where is that little girl from your family?"
Wei Lan was stunned for a moment. After realizing that she was talking about Youlan, she responded: "We originally agreed to come back during the National Day, but we changed our minds and haven't informed Youlan yet. She probably will come back during the National Day."
"Oh." Jiang Lihua nodded, "I met her little playmate when I came here. If nothing else, he should come over later, right?"
He waved his hand again as he spoke, "I'm going back first. There are loquats in my yard. I'll pick some for you to try later."
“Don’t bother, wait until I come over to chat with you one day to taste it.”
Walking back and forth with a big belly is not only tiring, but also weird.
“Then you must think about coming! If you don’t come to me, I will come to you!”
Although living in the village is comfortable, due to cultural differences, there are actually very few people who can talk to each other. As time goes by, she will still feel lonely. Especially Jiang Lihua is currently pregnant, and her emotions are much more sensitive than usual.
