I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 368 Something will happen sooner or later

After Jiang Lihua finished speaking, the other people's eyes turned around. They all thought there would be news about returning to the city, and they all looked at Wei Lan expectantly.

"I don't leave the house every day, what news can I have? I just want to chat with you out of boredom." Wei Lan winked at Jiang Lihua, and finally raised the package in his hand, "Last time, I didn't mean that I was curious about my clothes. Is it a pinch-waist design? I've washed it and brought it over for you to see."

Jiang Lihua also realized it. She immediately nodded and pulled Wei Lan and ran to the house of the female educated youth. "You told me earlier. I have been looking forward to it for days."

"You can't buy cloth, so why study it?" Lin Qing didn't know, seeing the two of them running away in a hurry, he smiled and poured a glass of water for Gu Chao: "Comrade Gu Chao, drink tea."

Gu Chao took the water and nodded gently: "Thank you."

Yu Tingyi sat by the door, behind Gu Chao, staring blankly at Gu Chao's broad back, not even noticing that he had torn a piece of the straw rope in his hand.

Fan Zhao was afraid that something would happen if he stayed any longer, so he lightly touched Yu Tingyi's shoulder: "The firewood for the stove is running out. Will you come with me to chop some?"

Yu Tingyi hesitantly looked away, nodded and threw away the two pieces of straw rope in his hand. He stood up and patted the dust on his pants. He took another deep look at Gu Chao, then followed Fan Zhuo and walked out without saying a word. .

Fan Zhuo followed him out of the house, and soon the sound of an ax chopping firewood could be heard outside the door.

Li Wenwen didn't know the mystery and thought it was really the firewood that was gone. He glanced outside and then looked at Gu Chao after a moment.

Li Wenwen scratched the back of his head and asked sheepishly: "Comrade Gu Chao, it's been cold and snowing recently. It's inconvenient for us to go to Xiaogang to get water. I heard that you have a well at home. Can you let us go to your house during this period?" Fetch water at home?”

Suddenly Jiang Lihua's loud voice came from the room where the female educated youth was standing, "Lin Qing, Yang Yan, come quickly!"

Yang Yan put down the straw in her hand, patted the ashes and walked out of the main room with Lin Qing: "What happened? I was shocked."

The main room became quiet again. Gu Chao saw Li Wenshu still staring at him. Gu Chao was silent. He wanted to refuse, but then he thought that Wei Lan had no friends in the brigade and only got a little closer to these educated youths.

"Okay." Gu Chao nodded lightly, thought for a while, and added: "But don't be too early."

 Wei Lan is sleepy in the morning, so doing it too early will disturb her.

Li Wenwen didn't know what Gu Chao was worried about at all. He just thought it was because Grandma Gu was old and Gu Chao was worried about disturbing the old man.

Li Wenwen smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, don't worry, we'll go at noon, or maybe in the afternoon!"

Gu Chao said softly, "Hmm", lowered his head to drink water and said nothing.

On the other side of the educated youth room, Wei Lan sat on Jiang Lihua's bed, opened the cloth bag and took out two different types of wool.

 Wei Lan had just explained it to Jiang Lihua, and now Jiang Lihua was holding the roll of soft and fluffy cashmere thread and was reluctant to let go.

Seeing that Yang Yan and Lin Qing had arrived, Jiang Lihua said: "I asked Wei Lan to buy wool for me before. Now there is news. I plan to buy it. Do you want to come with me?"

“I’ve seen my mother knitting sweaters, but I don’t know how.” Lin Qing said helplessly, but still took the wool from Jiang Lihua’s hand and looked at it curiously.

Fluffy and soft, warm at first glance.

After feeling it for a while, Lin Qing turned to stare at the white sweater exposed at the collar of Wei Lan and asked, "Is what you are wearing made of this thread?"

"Where is it? Let me see, let me see!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Lihua stopped looking at the roll of cashmere thread, turned around and stretched out her hand to pluck Wei Lan's clothes.

Wei Lan slapped Jiang Lihua's hand away with one hand, slowly unzipped his cotton-padded jacket, and took out an arm for them to touch and look at. "The clothes I'm wearing are ready-made clothes I bought in Beijing. They are made of fine cashmere thread, and the ones in this roll are thick thread." Wei Lan explained without any concealment, and handed another small half-roll of navy blue ordinary wool to Lin. Qing Jian said, "This is ordinary thread, um... the sweater Gu Chao is wearing is made of this kind of thread."

Yang Yan stood aside. She was a little interested, but because she had made a lot of rough cuts while rubbing the straw rope, she was afraid of damaging the thread, so she didn't do it.

When Lin Qing picked it up and looked at it, Yang Yan stretched her neck and looked at it.

Wei Lan saw that she just couldn't speak, so she smiled and said, "Can Yanzi know it?"

Yang Yan said embarrassedly: "I can't say I know how to do it. I used to knit with my mother when I was a child, but I have never knitted it myself."

  You don’t need to pay for wool yarn, but the price is not cheap either.

 But you can't just wear a few thin clothes in winter. You don't feel anything when you are next to the stove. It's really cold when you sleep at night.

Yang Yan hesitated and asked: "How much does this wool cost?"

Jiang Lihua and Lin Qing also looked at Wei Lan together.

"The black one is ordinary wool. It costs eight cents per tael. It costs about seven taels to knit a sweater. You can buy it in the town. I'm going to the town tomorrow. I can help bring it if you want." Wei Lan paused. , picked up the roll of white cashmere thread, and said: "The cashmere thread was brought back from Haishi by Gu Chao. One roll weighs exactly one kilogram. We girls can knit ourselves a sweater and woolen trousers, and there should be some leftover to knit a pair of socks." Or gloves.”

Female educated youths are smaller in physique than male educated youths. If the male educated youths have a body shape, they can only knit a sweater and a small vest at most, and have some leftover to knit a pair of socks, which is good.

"Cashmere thread is more expensive and only comes in black and white. I bought it from Gu Chaotiao. It costs two yuan a tael at the Beijing Department Store. This one only costs fifteen yuan a pound."

“Fifteen yuan?” Jiang Lihua exclaimed.

Jiang Lihua also came from Beijing. Although she has never bought cashmere thread, she probably knows the price.

 She knew that Wei Lan was not bluffing, and she also knew that the cashmere yarn was indeed discounted, but...

 For fifteen yuan, I’m really reluctant to part with it.

"Yes." Wei Lan nodded, looked at the three of them and said sincerely: "This is not a lot. There are only six volumes left, four white volumes and two black volumes. I am here because we are all educated youths from the countryside who have a revolutionary friendship. I’m asking you first, it doesn’t matter if you don’t need it, I’ll ask others when I get back.”

 Gu Chao worked hard to get the things back, so it was definitely impossible to give them the cost price.

The price Wei Lan mentioned was not bad. If Jiang Lihua and the others were bold enough to take the cashmere thread to the black market and resell it, they could sell it for 22 or 25 yuan.

 It can only be said that Gu Chao's blind cat encountered a dead mouse, but he did find something good.

"I'm short of money. I'm greedy for cashmere thread but I really can't bring out that much." Yang Yan hesitated for a while and looked at Wei Lan: "Lan Lan, when you go to town tomorrow, can you bring me some wool? Anything darker is fine.”

Yang Yan thought that she usually had to work, and if the color was too light, it would not stand up to getting dirty, and it would be inconvenient to wear even good clothes when the time comes.
