Fortunate Wife

"Daughter-in-law, it's really hot." Li Shu reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Li Man frowned, stood on tiptoe, and stretched out her hand to help him wipe off the sweat, "It doesn't matter if it's hot, if you sweat, you'll get sick easily if you're stimulated by cold water."

Li Yan looked at Li Man's appearance as the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, and giggled, "Don't wash it if you don't let me, it won't kill you if it gets hot."

"Li Yan." Li Man stomped her feet again, "He will die or live if he doesn't move, didn't he tell you earlier not to mention it?"

A few days ago, I was frightened by Li Mo, and panicked when the word 'death' was mentioned.

Li Yan smiled, "Girl, what's the smell?"

"Huh? Ah, my food." Li Man sniffed it lightly, and hurried back to the kitchen.

Li Yan leaned against the door, looking at Li Man who was busy serving dishes, the corners of his lips fluttered.

"Daughter-in-law, so cute." Li Shu leaned beside him, also smiling.

After Li Man finished serving the dishes, she glared at the two of them, "Isn't it all because of you? How many times have I told you that you can't take a bath in cold water when you come back from a hot day, so you must listen."

The two of them leaned against the door and laughed, as if being scolded by their daughter-in-law was also a kind of enjoyment.

Li Mo watched and smiled heartily.

After a while, the food was ready, Li Man lit the lamp, and the whole family sat around a quiet and cozy place to eat dinner.

Li Mo couldn't help asking again, "Second brother, recently the three of you go out early and come back late every day—"

"Brother, eat vegetables." Li Yan interrupted him, and gave him a piece of lettuce.

Li Mo frowned, "You have something to hide from me, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, big brother." Li Hua said.

Li Mo didn't believe it, "It's okay, where do you go every day? You're sweating all over when you come back. Did you carry me outside to do some work?"

He must have spent a lot of money getting injured this time, but that snow ginseng tree should be able to sell for some money.

"What's the matter, besides, even if we want to do the work, it's not easy to find." Li Yan said, ruthlessly finished the rice in the bowl, and went to fill another bowl.

Soon, Li Shu also finished eating and went to serve it.

Seeing that they ate more than usual, Li Man asked, "Where did you eat at noon? Are you full?"

"The food cooked by the girl is delicious." Li Yan smiled and sat back.

Li Man glanced at Li Mo, he was also full of helplessness, if the second younger brother wanted to hide something, even if he pried all his teeth, he would not be able to come up with a single word.

And he also has a way to let the third and fourth brothers keep the secret together.

Li Mo looked at his younger brothers helplessly, "It's better if you don't have to do the hard work, it's a fatal matter, and the elder brother got hurt this time, so let's take it easy, no matter what, it's better than our family being together safely."

"Oh." The three younger brothers snorted and continued to bury their heads in eating.

Li Mo watched, feeling more and more uneasy, and Li Man also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

After the meal, Li Man cleaned up the dishes, boiled hot water, and called Li Yan and the others to take a bath.

The hot water only boiled a large pot, and the brothers had to wash one by one, and after washing, they had to boil it again.

After Li Man scooped up half a pot of water, he mixed it with cold water and went to the Westinghouse to take a bath by himself, leaving the rest of the water for them.

After she finished washing here, Li Yan also finished washing on the kitchen side, and took the initiative to boil another large pot of water.

Because of the hot weather, even though Li Mo was inconvenient, Li Yan helped him take a bath.

After washing, he went to Li Man's room on crutches.

A small oil lamp was lit in the room, and Li Man was sitting on the kang, looking for mosquitoes with piercing eyes.

There are no mosquito coils or mosquito nets at home. When it gets dark, mosquitoes buzz around my ears, and if I don’t pay attention, I will be bitten.

Li Man is also the kind of person who attracts mosquitoes. She sleeps on the same kang with Li Mo, and the mosquitoes only bite her, and her skin is too delicate. After one bite, a red bump appeared, which was itchy and painful. It won't go away for a few days.

For this reason, several men feel distressed to death, but they don't care about those mosquitoes at all.

"Bite again?" Li Mo hurriedly sat on the edge of the kang, took her arm and looked at it.

"No, it was bitten last time." Li Man rubbed her arms, wanting to cry with a slumped face, "I heard it screaming just now, dead mosquitoes, and I don't know where they are hiding."

She has been biting so much that she has been unable to sleep for the past few days.

Li Mo's heart ached so much, he wished he could sit in the middle and let all the mosquitoes suck his blood, but probably the mosquitoes also knew that he had rough skin and thick flesh, so they just didn't bite him, pity his vines.

"Put more clothes on." Li Mo put the coat on Li Man, wishing to wrap her tightly.

"Hot." Li Man pulled down her clothes. Even in the hot summer, the air was very hot and dry. She had just taken a shower, and she was sweating thinly again.

"I'll fan you." Li Mo hurriedly brought the broken plantain fan from the big cabinet, and fanned it considerately for her.

"No, have you washed it?" Li Man smelled that he smelled like soap. That was what Li Shu brought for herself last time. However, she was really not used to the original smell, so she kept it on. use.

"Yeah." Li Mo nodded, his eyes turned hot.

Li Man's body was hot, and her heart was also hot. She turned her head and opened the small window. There was no wind, but a gust of hot air rushed in. She hurriedly closed the window again.

"Just fan." Li Mo hurriedly fanned her vigorously again.

The cool breeze brought by the plantain fan really made Li Man feel better, but her hands were so sore, she also felt distressed, so she took the fan from his hand, "Let me do it."

"I have strength in my hand." Li Mo snatched it again, fanned her with one hand, and stroked her forehead with the other. The sweat was already dry, and it was cool, so he smiled, "Is it better?"

"Yeah." Li Man finally recovered from the heat, but she was troubled in her heart. It was so hot before the dog days came. How would I live in the dog days?

At this moment, she misses the modern life a little bit. At least there is an air conditioner, cold drinks, and even a shower at any time when it is hot. Most importantly, it is free from mosquitoes.

Just as she was thinking about it, she felt a stabbing pain in her shoulder. When she slapped it, she felt sticky. The mosquito was slapped to death, and her hands were stained with blood. Suddenly, she wailed and lay down in Li Mo's arms.

How would she survive this summer with mosquitos?

Li Mo hurriedly rubbed her shoulders, anxiously asking, "Is this here?"

Every morning, looking at Li Man's snow-white skin with spots of red marks really makes him worry, and he really wants to wipe out the nine races of mosquitoes.

"Yeah." Li Man was crying. Some people might think it was hypocritical, but a person who can attract mosquitoes and is in a place full of mosquitoes, that kind of crime is really serious.

"Isn't there anyone selling mosquito nets?" She had watched "Dream of Red Mansions". Jia's family had a lot of gauze nets, making clothes, window screens, and mosquito nets. There should be some in this day and age, right? Otherwise, how did other people live?

Li Mo didn't know what the mosquito net she was talking about, so he just kept using the fan, fanning her while patting her body from time to time, helping to drive away the mosquitoes.

No, I will go to the town tomorrow to see if there is anyone selling mosquito nets. It would be too sad to be buried in the belly of mosquitoes these days.

Even if there is no mosquito net, you have to find something similar to replace it.

Just as I was thinking, there was a knock on the door, "Brother, are you asleep?"

It was Li Yan's voice.

"No." Li Mo replied, and Li Man hurriedly sat up straight from his arms.

"I got some wormwood to smoke your house." At the door, Li Yan said with a handful of wormwood on fire.

Li Man's eyes lit up, that's right, the smoke lit by wormwood can smoke mosquitoes, she hurriedly said 'hmm', and climbed down to open the door.

Under the dim light, she was only wearing single clothes and trousers. Her snow-white skin was as smooth as jade, her eyes were shining brightly, her black hair was like clouds, and all of it was scattered behind her head, like a waterfall, silky and soft.

The small figure was in front of him, and the hazy light shone softly on her pretty face, which was very quiet and moving.

Li Yan's throat tightened, he actually forgot to speak, and just stared at her bewilderedly.

Facing his gloomy gaze, Li Man's heart trembled, and she hurriedly said, "Come in."

"Oh." Li Yan just came back to his senses, but he didn't go in, and just handed her the wormwood, "You take it and smoke it in the corner of the room, it should be better."

"Yeah." Li Man took it and asked again, "Is your room smoked?" She saw that Xiao Wu and Li Hua also had marks on their faces, but they got better soon, not as sad as her. That's all.

"Use it first." Li Yan was waiting at the door.

"Oh." Li Man took the wormwood and smoked it carefully several times along the corner of the kang.

During this period, Li Yan stood at the door and did not go in.

Li Mo watched and wanted to ask him to come in, but suddenly felt embarrassed. Moreover, even though the light was not clear, the second younger brother stood in the darkness at the door, staring at Li Man with fiery eyes. He could see everything clearly in the bright place Chu.

Think about it, since he was injured for a month, the younger brothers have never been happy with Man'er. Come to think of it... He is someone who has experienced it, and understands the pain.

He felt a little guilty in his heart, but the sweetness of being with Man'er day and night in recent days made him reluctant to leave the house so quickly.

"Okay, here, take it back and smoke it quickly, Xiao Wu's neck was also bitten by mosquitoes." After Li Man smoked it, she handed the wormwood to Li Yan.

Li Yan stretched out his hand, but grabbed her wrist instead of taking the wormwood.

Li Man panicked and flinched instinctively. Li Yan had already brought her a box of ointment, "I got this from Uncle Xu this afternoon. It can reduce the swelling. I don't know if it will work for you. You can try it on." try."

"Oh." Li Man was overjoyed, no matter what, it's better to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor than to suffer like this, "By the way, have you wiped Li Hua and Xiao Wu yet?"

"They have rough skin and thick flesh, so they don't need this. You can use it. I'm going back to the house." Li Yan hurried away as he spoke, fearing that it would be delayed, he really wanted to stay in her room and didn't want to leave.

Li Man took the ointment, closed the door, and crawled onto the kang again.

Li Mo hurriedly picked up the fan, and fanned her again, "Is it hot just now?"

"It's okay." Li Man sat cross-legged next to him, opened the box, revealing a milky white paste, which smelled delicious, so she picked up a little bit with her fingers, and gently rubbed it on the area that was bitten by the mosquito just now.

The feeling of coolness to the bone is not bad, but it doesn't relieve the itching, I hope it will be effective.

She wiped it on her shoulders, arms and thighs, but she couldn't wipe it off on her back, so she gave the ointment to Li Mo.

Li Mo put down the banana fan, picked some with his fingers, brushed away the dark black hair scattered on her shoulders with one hand, and spread the ointment on the red envelopes with the other hand.

Her skin is snow-white, so those few red bumps are still shocking.

After Li Mo wiped it off, he smoothed her soft black hair, "Is it hot?" This black oily hair looks good, but it must be hot wearing it like this.

"A little bit." Li Man put away the ointment and lay down.

Li Mo also lay down beside her, wrapped her in his arms with one hand, and fanned her with a plantain fan in the other.

Li Man rested her head on his arm, and put her little hand on his chest. She was very sweet and said, "Brother, recite the multiplication formula for me."

"Now?" Li Mo slid his fingers over the delicate skin of her shoulders, unconsciously in a daze.

"Yeah." Li Man didn't notice, just hummed, "What you said this afternoon, recite it to me."

"Oh, one gets one, one gets two..." Li Mo carried it honestly, but the big hand around her unconsciously rubbed her delicate shoulders like creamy fat. The smooth skin, the silky touch like satin, made his heart feel tight.

"Wrong." Li Man pointed out suddenly, "3721, not 3728, ah..."

Li Mo suddenly turned over and pressed up, "Man'er, stop memorizing."

"Then what are you doing?" Li Man asked confusedly, a little confused by his sudden action.

Li Mo lowered his head, kissed her forehead passionately, and said softly, "Do something you want to do."

"Ah?" Li Man was shocked, and quickly grabbed his groping hand, "You are still injured."

"Don't be afraid, you follow me." Li Mo suddenly raised her legs, posing in a less strenuous posture.

Li Man's mind was dazed for a moment, and she only heard him say that this posture can save his leg from straining, but she didn't know that it was so embarrassing.

——

**, the next morning, Li Man woke up feeling a little unwell, but she was in good spirits. She had been tossed by mosquitoes quite badly these days. Unexpectedly, after last night, she fell asleep instantly and woke up until dawn.

She couldn't help laughing, she didn't expect to be tired after being tossed and tossed, but it actually made her sleep better.

Pulling herself up to look at Li Mo, she was still sleeping soundly. Thinking of his hard work last night, Li Man blushed, but she was sure that he was probably really fine.

After getting up and getting dressed, she went out first and went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the family.

As soon as the rice was measured and put into the pot, Li Yan came over, looking very eager, his hair was a little messed up, and his belt was not fastened, obviously he just got up on the kang.

"What's the matter?" Li Man put the rice in the pot, and was about to start a fire under the stove.

"Girl." Li Yan didn't put on his belt, and rushed towards her, pushing her onto the pot.

Li Man was shocked, put her palms on his chest, and lowered her voice, "What are you doing?" Li Hua and the others will all get up later, how about seeing them?

"Girl, it's been a month." Li Yan showed a painful look on his face, holding her little hand to the lower abdomen.

Li Man almost screamed out, and seeing his bitter expression, she turned her face and lay down on the pot, giggling.

This person... the color embryo.

Li Yan turned around and barred the kitchen door.

The dim light made Li Man startled, "Li Yan, you?"

While speaking, Li Yan had already pounced on her, turned her around, and lay her face down on the pot.

Li Man was horrified, and before she could react, the color embryo rushed in impatiently. ——

——

It's really a rare thing, Li Man probably couldn't think of breaking his head, but one day he was pressed on the pot for that?

There was no room for her to think, she struggled, everything came and went too fast.

She knew that he was suffocated.

Afterwards, Li Yan also apologized, "Did it hurt you?"

"You?" Li Man's eyes were red, and her hair was also red with shame, but she couldn't express any ruthlessness towards the poor man at the moment.

Turning around, she quietly sat under the stove.

"I'll come." Li Yan fastened his belt in twos and twos.

Li Man bit her lip and stared at him, "Rinse off quickly."

"What about you?" Li Yan looked at her with a smirk.

Li Man's face burned again, "Don't worry about it." She is also sticky now, but where can she go to wash it, there are men in the three cabins, or wait a while, Li Mo gets up, she will get some more Let's secretly go back to the room to wash with hot water.

Li Yanyang smiled, "I was too anxious just now, next time, I will treat you better."

"You...don't say any more." Li Man glared at him, then turned to light the fire without looking at him again.

Li Yan chuckled twice, opened the kitchen door, fetched water and went to wash himself.

After a while, the porridge was ready, Li Mo and others got up, and everyone fetched water to wash in the yard.

Li Yan scooped up hot water for Li Man while he was free, "Go wash it up, or it will be uncomfortable. I'll make the pancakes."

Li Man glared at him with a red face, took the hot water, and hurried back to the room. After cleaning, she changed her pants before coming out.

Everyone didn't notice, Li Yan made some pancakes, and everyone sat down together to have breakfast.

After the meal, the three brothers went out together again.

Li Mo followed, "Where are you going? Take me to have a look."

"Brother, your legs are not sharp yet." Li Shu said.

"Yes, brother, we will be back at night." Li Hua said.

Li Mo looked at Li Hua, who had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and was even more puzzled, "It's nothing more than the two of them, why do you go out with me every day, fourth brother? What are you doing? This hot day... .”

"Okay, big brother, I'm very busy now, I'll talk to you later when I have time." Li Yan said, pulling his two younger brothers out of the yard.

Li Mo pushed him away first, but was stopped by Li Man, "Forget it, he doesn't want to talk, it's useless if you ask, why don't you ask Xiao Wu."

Li Mo's eyes lit up, "Yes, where is Xiao Wu?"

"Sweeping the floor in the kitchen, I call him." Li Man said.

After a while, Xiao Wu was called out, and Li Mo asked him what Li Yan and others were doing outside when they left early and returned late.

Little Wu shook his head, "I don't know either."

"They haven't talked at night?" Li Man asked, "If you think about it, don't you think they are weird recently?"

Xiao Wu tilted his head, thought carefully, and said, "Yesterday, the third brother seemed to say that he could get his wages today. The fourth brother asked if he could buy some window screens. He said that my sister was bitten badly by mosquitoes recently. The second brother said yes." ......Gone."

Li Mo listened, and gradually frowned, "Your third brother really said he was paid?"

"Yeah." Xiao Wu nodded, "That's what he said."

Seeing Li Mo's expression, guessing that he probably knew something, Li Man asked Xiao Wu to play by himself, and then asked Li Mo, "Do you know what they are doing?"

Li Mo's expression was serious, and he said helplessly, "It must have been done without telling me."

"What is a job?" Li Man didn't understand very well, wondering if it was similar to a modern part-time job.

Li Mo looked worried, "No, I have to go find them."

"Hey, you don't even know where they went, where do you want to find them?" Li Man hurriedly grabbed him, and asked curiously, "What exactly do you do to carry jobs?"

Li Mo's voice was deep and full of helplessness, "It's our local dialect to carry out hard work."

"Part-time job?" Li Man asked.

Li Mo shook his head, "Carrying work is usually introduced by the contractor. The work is heavy and tiring, and sometimes life-threatening. The most important thing is that more than half of the money earned will be taken away by the contractor. Unless some desperate people, otherwise, no one will want to do this."

Li Man's heart trembled when he heard this, "Li Yan and the others couldn't be doing this, are they? Are they not that stupid?"

"Then what are they doing?" Li Mo was still worried.

Li Man's heart was also hanging by what he said, mainly because of his life-threatening sentence. In modern times, there are many high-risk industries. She didn't know what Li Yan and the others were doing.

But afraid that Li Mo would be worried, she still comforted her, "Don't worry, come back tonight and ask, if they don't tell you, they won't let you go out tomorrow."
