Fortunate Wife

Seeing her like this, Li Hua was both moved and distressed, and made up her mind to let Li Man live a better life in the future.

After washing the clothes, I chatted with the two women for half a day. Before I knew it, the sun had already set to the west.

In the evening, Li Man wanted to eat something lighter, so she planned to cook some porridge, make some pancakes, and stir-fry two side dishes.

Li Hua wanted to help her light the fire, so she nodded, saying that after all these days, she still doesn't know how to use the fire book, and she can't control the fire well with firewood.

The porridge was cooking in a big pot, and Li Hua watched as she freed up her hands to knead the noodles.

Tonight, she wanted to eat egg pancakes, so she went to the small vegetable garden to pick some shallots, chopped them, mixed them in the noodles, and cracked two more eggs.

It wasn't until Li Mo's two aunts came that she realized how valuable sesame oil was, and since then, she has seldom used it for cooking.

But if you want egg pancakes today, it's better to put a little more fragrant.

She took the oil pot, put it against the edge of the pot, poured a little, then mixed it well with a spatula, then put the reconciled noodles into the pot little by little, slowly and carefully spread them out... ....

This saves fuel, and the cakes spread out are delicious.

What's more, Li Hua cooperated very well, the fire in the pot hole was very hot, but it didn't burn the pancakes, but it was able to bake the pancakes to a burnt yellow color, and it smelled delicious.

After a while, the tempting smell of eggs, scallions, noodles and all together diffused from the kitchen.

Li Hua couldn't help being curious, how could the taste of this omelette be so delicious, he got up and stood at the corner of the pot, looked over here, and saw the thin layer of omelet, which was carefully scooped by Li Man with a spatula out.

"Bowl." Seeing him standing by the side, Li Man ordered.

Li Hua hurriedly handed over the empty bowl at hand.

This piece of cake was very big and thin, and Li Man folded it a few times before putting it in the bowl, but since there were so many people in the family, he had to spread out a few more pans.

Seeing her scooping noodles, Li Hua sat back consciously, and handed a few more firewood into the hole of the pot.

Before the second pot of cakes was spread out, several men came to the kitchen one after another.

"Well, it smells so good." Li Shu walked over and asked with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, what's delicious for dinner?"

"Have you washed your hands yet?" Seeing that he was about to reach for the cake in the bowl, Li Man slapped his hand.

Li Shu hurriedly said, "I've washed it." He had formed a habit of washing his hands when he entered the kitchen.

Li Man glared at him, "You can't hold it with your hands, go get the chopsticks."

"Oh." After being stared at by her small eyes, Li Shu only felt an unbearable itchiness in his heart. He responded, but still leaned against her, reluctant to leave.

"Daughter-in-law, your pancake making skills are much better than that of the second brother. I used to think that the pancakes he made were delicious, but I didn't expect that the one you made today is even more delicious."

"You know it smells good before you eat it?" Li Yan lit the oil lamp, and thoughtfully put it beside the pot, so that Li Man could do things more conveniently.

Li Shu leaned on the pot table, hugged his hands, and said with a smile, "Of course, you'll know if you smell it."

"Okay, you two sit over there, and stand here to get in the way." Li Man pushed Li Shu and glanced at Li Yan again.

The two tall and burly men stood next to her, making her feel as if the hill was collapsing, with a special sense of oppression, and it was difficult to work.

The two men looked at each other and smiled, sat obediently at the big table, and waited for dinner.

After a while, this piece of cake was spread out, and Li Man filled it out. Seeing the two of them sitting there, they looked like grandpas. On her body, for just a short moment, she felt that their clothes were about to burn a hole in her clothes.

How much they lack, women, women are still lacking...

"Li Shu, if you have nothing to do, catch the chicken in the coop. It's getting dark."

"Oh, good." Li Shu agreed, got up and went out.

Li Man yelled again, "Just put the chicken coop in the corner of the room." After dinner, everything was packed before they could be carried into the kitchen, otherwise, it would be smelly.

"Oh." Li Shu agreed in the yard, then walked into the fence, carefully catching those little yellow chickens.

It was dark, and the chickens were easier to catch. They squatted there one by one, and even snorted when they caught them.

Therefore, Li Shu quickly caught all the chickens in the coop.

Li Man looked back at Li Yan again. This guy was leaning against the wall with his legs crossed. When he saw her turn around, his eyes lit up for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, Li Man spoke first.

"If you want nothing to do, feed the pig first, it will be dark for a while."

Feed the pigs? The corner of Li Yan's mouth twitched, but he got up obediently, "Where's the pig food?"

"That bucket is full of swill, you just need to pour some bran." I haven't been cooking pig dishes these days, so let's just make do with it.

"Oh." Li Yan took a bucket of slops and went out.

Li Hua sat under the stove, pursing her lips and snickering, this little girl is getting more and more comfortable ordering their brothers around now.

After a while, Li Mo brought Xiao Wu back home. The little guy just came back today, and he couldn't bear to go home after playing with his friends.

After Li Yan finished feeding the pigs, Li Man's pancakes were all ready. There were five pancakes in total, one for each man, and one for her and Xiaowu.

Originally, I wanted to cook two more side dishes, but it was getting late, and the men also washed their hands and waited at the table for dinner.

Li Man brought the pancakes to the table first, and then bowls of porridge.

"It's so rich." Looking at the browned cake and smelling the aroma of the eggs, Li Yan smiled.

The others were also smiling, and it was the same when they thought about it. It seemed that since Li Man entered the house, their quality of life had improved a lot.

In the past, the three meals a day were just decorations, and it was enough to eat some steamed corn bread and eat two cakes. Men are not so particular about cooking, as long as they can fill their stomachs.

But Li Man is different. They found that she is very particular about food, even if there is only a handful of millet left in the house, she can cook you a pot of fragrant millet porridge in different ways.

For two yams, she can also cook, fry, and roast them for you.

A few small green vegetables can be burnt with an attractive color, which will whet your appetite.

"Eat it, it will soften when it cools down, it tastes good when it's hot." Li Man said, took a piece, and gave half of it to Xiao Wu.

"Yeah." Everyone also lowered their heads and started to eat. Just now, they were hungry after smelling the smell. Now, they all opened their stomachs to eat.

Even Li Mo is the same, he knows that Li Man likes to see them eating with gusto, and doesn't like them treating him badly when eating. Recently, he has changed a lot, trying not to treat himself badly.

Seeing them eating so happily one by one, Li Man smiled and felt even more satisfied.

This kind of dinner is simple and eaten quickly. After finishing eating, Li Man wanted to clean up, so Li Hua stopped her, "Take a break, I'll come."

Li Man still wanted to decline, but Li Hua smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I won't be able to wash it clean? How about you watch from the sidelines?"

He still needs to watch? Heh, Li Man pursed her lips and smiled. I have never seen a boy who loves cleanliness more than Li Hua. Every time the pot is cleaned more carefully than her.

"Okay, come here." Li Man didn't say anything more, turned around and went back to the room to pack her clothes.

It was a hot day in June, and she was sweating all over before she did anything. At night, she wanted to take a bath, so she went back to her room and packed her clothes.

After finishing it, I went back to the kitchen. Li Hua had also tidied up and was boiling hot water.

"Try it, is it hot?" Li Hua asked, knowing that she likes to take a bath in hot weather, so she hurriedly cleaned up and boiled hot water.

Li Man lifted the lid of the pot, tried it, and said, "Boil it for a while."

"Oh." Li Hua handed some more firewood into the pot hole.

At this time, Li Mo came in again, but he remained silent, just standing in the middle of the room, looking at Li Man.

"What's wrong?" Li Man was curious.

Li Mo glanced at Li Hua, a little embarrassed, "It's okay." Turning around, he went out again.

Li Huaben was also a little embarrassed, but seeing his elder brother like this, he smiled unconsciously.

"What's wrong with your elder brother?" Li Man became more and more curious, watching Li Mo standing in the yard, as if upset about something.

Seeing her bewildered look, Li Hua could only remind her, "What day is today?"

"What day?" Li Man blinked her eyes innocently. She couldn't read the almanac at all in this ancient time. She only knew that it was hot and the peaches were ripe. It seemed to be June.

If she is like this, it's hard for Li Hua to say any more, I'm afraid it will make her nervous again, let the elder brother handle it by himself at night, "Is the water ready? You can try again."

"Oh." Seeing that Li Hua was not nervous, and guessed it was nothing serious, Li Man thought about it lazily, lifted the lid of the pot, tested the temperature of the water, and felt that it was about the same, and hurriedly said, "It's ok, don't burn it, I'll scoop out the pot first."

After scooping all the hot water in the cauldron into the wooden barrel, Li Man suddenly found that she couldn't lift it at all.

no? She has black lines all over her head, and Xiao Wu even helped her carry the bath water, but her strength is even inferior to Xiao Wu's?

"Let me come." Li Hua had already got up and walked over, picked up a bucket of water with ease, and walked to the next door first.

Li Man bit her lips and chuckled, who said that a scholar is powerless? Her family, Li Hua, is quite strong.

She followed her into the house, Li Hua put the bucket away, and turned around to go out to get the bath bucket, only to see that Li Mo had already carried it and put it in the middle of the room.

Seeing the two of them working without blushing or panting, Li Man had to think that it was nice to have a man in the family, at least she wouldn't bother with such heavy work.

After the two went out, Li Man took off her clothes and immersed herself in the hot water.

This ancient big wooden barrel is really good, it can completely hold her whole body, and it is not worse than the modern jacuzzi.

Every time I take a bath, soaking in hot water like this, I feel that every capillary in the whole body is stretched, which is really comfortable.

After washing, she put on her unlined clothes and went to the kang. The bath water can be poured by them tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, at the door, Li Mo had been waiting. When the sound of water stopped, his heart almost jumped out of his chest, but who would have imagined that, after a while, the lights in the West Room went out.

As if a basin of cold water had been poured on his body, Li Mo was suddenly extremely depressed.

Does Maner not want him to enter the house?

"Brother." Li Hua boiled some hot water again, and came out to ask the other brothers to wash up, when he saw his elder brother Li Mo standing at the door of the West House, struggling with the door.

Li Mo was startled, "Huh?"

Li Hua's throat was also a little dry. He understood the mood and expectations of his elder brother. He said that there was no one in the family who was not like his elder brother except Xiao Wu who didn't understand.

It's just that it was agreed before that no one would take too much. Today it's the elder brother's turn. In a few days, he will also have a share. Thinking about it, I feel much better.

"Man'er probably forgot, brother, go wash up first, and then knock on the door later." Li Hua persuaded.

Knock again? Li Mo always felt that this was different from her keeping the door open for him. He felt a little lost in his heart, but there was no other way but to follow his fourth brother's advice.

Because he took a shower at noon, he didn't do anything in the afternoon, and he didn't sweat. In the evening, Li Mo just washed up briefly, but when he was about to go out after washing, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly closed the kitchen door again. Scooped hot water and washed the place well several times.

"Brother, are you inside?" At this moment, Li Yan knocked on the door outside.

Li Mo hurriedly fastened his belt, opened the door and came out.

Under the weak light, Li Yan still saw his embarrassed face, and couldn't help but wonder, "Brother, are you blushing?"

"Why are you blushing?" Li Mo said with a guilty conscience, pretending to be calm.

Li Yan stood at the door, looking into the kitchen, "What did Big Brother do in there just now? Did you lock the door behind you?"

"Oh, there seems to be a mouse just now... hiding..." Li Mo couldn't continue, the eyes of the second brother were too treacherous, "You wash it, the water is still hot."

Without explaining, Li Mo hurried out.

Li Yan entered the room, looked at the water stains in the corner of the room, his heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something, his eyes were burning hot.

When Li Mo came out, he was a little nervous. He was supposed to accompany his wife tonight, but she had already closed the door and turned off the light, which obviously didn't mean him to accompany her.

But after more than a month, it was so easy to wait for such a night, how could he be willing to stand at the door like this.

Finally, mustering up courage, he knocked on the door.

Li Man was sleeping in a daze, when she heard the knock on the door, her heart skipped a beat, she suddenly opened her eyes, and stared at the door in a daze.

Sure enough, the knock on the door was louder.

"Who?" Li Man frowned and asked sullenly, she was so sleepy.

"Man'er." Li Mo heard the impatience in her voice, and his heart sank even further.

Li Mo? "Is there something wrong?" Li Man just sat up, Li Mo must be looking for her.

But when asked this way, Li Mo didn't know how to answer, and just stared at the door in a daze.

"Brother?" Li Man didn't hear the answer, so she called again in doubt.

"Oh." Li Mo replied disappointedly.

What's the matter? Li Man had no choice but to put on a coat, walked over in the dark, opened the door, looked at the tall and burly him beside the door, and was a little dazed, "What's the matter?"

No more pouring the bathwater...

"Well, you haven't poured out the bath water yet, have you? Don't get up at night and bump into it." Li Mo walked around her and entered the room as he said that.

Li Man's head is full of black lines, is this really the case? "I rarely get up at night."

"Don't worry." Li Mo had already picked up the bathtub and went outside.

Li Man smiled helplessly, and followed to the door, "Brother, is there anything else?"

At this moment, Li Yan came out of the kitchen, looked at Li Man, who was wearing thin clothes, and frowned slightly, wanting to get close to her, but thinking about today's day, he had to endure it, and walked from her side without saying a word. Go around and go back to the east room.

Li Man was terrified in an instant, what happened to Li Yan? As usual, even if he didn't touch her, he still had to tease her with words. It seemed that he couldn't sleep at night if he didn't provoke her.

Li Mo poured the bath water, turned around and leaned the tub against the corner of the room.

"Brother?" Li Man was a little confused.

Li Mo came over and gently held her hand, "Go back to the house."

"Oh. Is it okay?" Li Man followed him back to the room suspiciously. As soon as he stepped through the door, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Are you with me?"

"En." Li Mo bit the bullet, closed the door, and then hugged Li Man across the waist.

He has very good eyesight, even in such a dark night, he can still see things, afraid that she will fall and touch her, so he just hugged her up.

Li Man couldn't help but screamed, "What are you doing?"

This sound not only chilled Li Mo's heart, but also made the hearts of the people in the next room jump. Everyone frowns, isn't the eldest brother too anxious? But thinking about it carefully, if they were themselves, they would be even more anxious.

"Turn off the light." Li Yan got under the covers impatiently.

Li Shu leaned against the head of the kang, closed his eyes and wondered what he was thinking.

Li Hua blew on the lamp helplessly, and pulled Xiao Wu over, "What are you running around, just sleep well."

"No, I just heard—"

"Sleep." Li Hua took off Xiao Wu's coat, pulled up the quilt to wrap him up, and lay down with his eyes closed as if he was deaf.

In the west room, Li Man finally lay back on the kang, but there was another person beside her, which scared away all her previous sleepiness.

She remembered, "Brother, I, I'm a little tired." What she said was true. These days, because of Dayong's incident, her nerves have been in a state of high tension, and she was worried about their brothers after she came back. No, it's all right now After that, she relaxed all of a sudden, and her whole body was instantly tired.

"En." Li Mo lay outside the kang, stretched out his arms to wrap her around her, let her come close to him, rested her head on his generous arms, and made no other movements other than that.

Li Man looked at him suspiciously? Do nothing?

Li Mo turned his head sideways and met her eyes, "Aren't you sleepy?"

"Ah? So sleepy." Li Man hurriedly yawned, closed her eyes, and nestled in his arms like a kitten, her heart was warm and warm, and Li Mo was better. In this situation, if it was someone else, She is not so comfortable.

There is a unique reassuring smell on Li Mo's body, and his embrace is very comfortable, his arms are thicker and more comfortable than pillows, Li Man holds his waist with one hand, and the whole person is nestled in his arms , unconsciously, soon fell asleep.

Hearing her thin snorting, knowing that she was asleep, Li Mo dared to move his stiff body a little, looked at the dark roof, and let out a long breath.

Next door, after a while, there was no movement at all, the brothers couldn't help but feel puzzled, but thinking about the eldest brother's temperament, they gradually relaxed.

The eldest brother loves his daughter-in-law, and if the daughter-in-law says no, he will definitely not mess around.

Li Yan finally pulled down the quilt covering his head, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Hua also slightly curled the corners of his lips, Li Shu shrugged his eyebrows, well, I can sleep well.

But I don't know how long it took, when everyone was sleeping soundly, the banging sound of wooden boards, like a curse, woke up everyone in the room.

Westinghouse, Li Man's toes were red with embarrassment, it was all because of drinking an extra bowl of porridge at night, which caused him to wake up in the middle of the night, so he let Li Mo accompany him.

Unexpectedly, after coming back from the latrine, he pestered her not to let her sleep.

Seeing that most of the time passed by, Li Mo also endured most of the night with his eyes open. He really couldn't bear it, so he had to light a fire on her body, and pressed on her softly.

"Take it easy." In the darkness, Li Man begged in a trembling voice. In the dead of night, every movement could be heard clearly, but he was anxious like a trapped animal, and the noise was too loud. And she couldn't stand his strength.

"They are all asleep." Li Mo panted to comfort him, but his movements did not slow down at all.

Unexpectedly, even his words were heard by the next door.
