Chapter 176 Nanny

"What's wrong?"

Gu Chao frowned, thinking that it really hurt her, so he leaned over to check, but he saw Wei Lan's brows were squeezed together, and he reached out impatiently to scratch behind her ears.

“I don’t know what’s going on. My neck feels a little sore and itchy. I guess I was bitten by a mosquito last night.”

Gu Chao pulled Wei Lan over to examine it carefully. When he saw the row of shallow tooth marks on it, his expression suddenly became strange.

 The tooth mark is not deep overall, there is a bean-sized red spot in the middle, and the skin is broken.

 Gu Chao naturally knew what it was.

 The tiger's teeth cause trouble.

"What's wrong? Is it serious?" Seeing that he remained silent, Wei Lan began to worry.

"It's not serious." Gu Chao secretly sighed that the little girl had a delicate body and expensive flesh. She really should be pampered, but he was also afraid that his grandma would see her and ask about her later.

 He was not afraid of his grandma getting smoked, but he was very afraid of her nagging her.

Gu Chao calmly lifted up Wei Lan's collar. Seeing that it couldn't be covered, he said: "I remember you have a small coat with a high collar and a plate collar? That one looks good."

Wei Lan raised her eyebrows, "The one in lake green?"

Among the clothes Wei Lan brought, there was only one with a high collar. She had to go to work in the fields because of the hot weather. She was so worried that she wore it except once when she first came here.

"I'm sorry you still remember." Wei Lan's pink lips curled up. After washing her face, she hung the towel on the clothes drying rope and trotted back to the room to change clothes happily.

Gu Chao saw her back disappearing through the door, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his nose.

 Now, grandma should be invisible.

In the afternoon, Gu Chao and some young men from the brigade were going to dig trenches. According to the requirements, the trenches for burying cables need to be dug one meter wide and one and a half meters deep, so as to ensure that no accidents occur when members build ditches for irrigation in the future.

It is six or seven miles from the commune to the Seventh Brigade, and the Sixth and Eighth Brigades are simply next to the Seventh Brigade. The Sixth and Eighth Brigades also need to be electrified, and the cables come from the same road. Naturally, this sixty-seven mile road is also built by the three brigades. Digging trenches is physical work. In addition to the ten work points for a full day, the brigade will receive an additional two work points.

Grandma Gu was afraid that Gu Chao would not have enough to eat and would be too hungry to work, so she made a pot of rice for noon and did not serve him sweet potatoes, corn and other whole grains.

“These are for my daughter to eat.” Gu Chao pushed the bowl in front of Wei Lan, took a sweet potato himself, peeled off the skin and took a big bite.

 Many people like to call their daughters Guainan, such as Wei Xueliang and Wei Mu, but here in the south, Nannan is also another name for the girl they like.

Grandma Gu didn't say much, she just prepared to bring some solid food to Gu Chao when he left for a while, in case he was hungry on the way.

 Wei Lan was dissatisfied.

She pushed the bowl back towards her face and said, "I usually eat well, and I will eat this once or twice. You are tired from working in the afternoon, so you need to eat something good."

He also said that he wanted to support her. If his body breaks down, how can he support her?

Gu Chao saw her expression of anger mixed with a bit of sullenness, and knew that he would make her angry if he continued to refuse, so he simply stopped pushing and picked up the bowl and started eating.

Wei Lan’s pink lip corners were slightly raised, and she was very satisfied with the result.

Halfway through the meal, someone came outside and called Gu Chao. Gu Chao hurriedly finished his meal and got up to leave. Wei Lan quickly followed suit.

She stood on tiptoes and hung the filled military kettle around Gu Chao's neck.

Grandma Gu on the side saw it, and was pleased and amused: "You gave it to him, what will you use when you go to work in the afternoon?"

“I go to work in front of my house. If I’m thirsty, I can come back and drink.” Wei Lan said with a smile.

Otherwise, you can bring some in an enamel jar when you get off work later. Since the water is clean, you won’t be afraid that ants will come in droves.
