Fortunate Wife

It was another beautiful day. In the early morning, wisps of mountain wind blew in through the windows, and the green soft tent swayed gently.

Li Man slowly opened her eyes, and was slightly taken aback when she met Li Shu's beautiful and energetic phoenix eyes.

"Are you awake?" Li Shu rested his chin on one hand and looked at her tenderly.

Li Man blushed at the sight, pushed him away, sat up, looked out the window, "It's so bright?"

"It's early in the morning, you can go to sleep again, it will be cool in the morning." Li Shu put his hand on her shoulder, trying to pull her to lie down again.

Li Man smiled slightly, "Go to bed, I'll cook."

Said, bypassing him, took the clothes from the kang tip, and put them on straight away.

Li Shu also sat up, "You can sleep without me, if you don't make breakfast, the second brother and fourth brother will also cook."

"Don't you like to eat what I make?" Li Man glanced at him with a smile, she had already put on her clothes, opened the tent and got off the kang.

Li Shu chuckled, scratched his head, lay down straight again, turned his head, and watched his daughter-in-law leave the room with tenderness in his eyes.

However, just as he was about to close his eyes and go back to sleep, Li Man ran back excitedly and closed the door.

"What's wrong?" Li Shu opened his eyes curiously.

Li Man opened the closet, pawed it twice, and replied, "It's okay, just close your eyes."

"New clothes? The fourth brother made them for you?" Li Shu was so happy that he lost his sleepiness.

Li Man let out a 'hmm'. This is the cheongsam that Li Hua made for herself. It is short-sleeved. Now that the weather is hot, it is really uncomfortable to wear the old long shirt and trousers. Anyway, she doesn't have to go out today, so she just wants to Change into something cooler at home.

However, seeing Li Shu sitting on the kang, staring at her with interest, obviously wanting to see how she looks in new clothes, Li Man was embarrassed, "Why don't you go to sleep?"

"Aren't you going to wear new clothes? Let me see." Li Shu simply raised the curtain and tied it with a cloth belt.

Li Man frowned, "If you don't sleep, then go out first."

"Ah?" Li Shu was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, he laughed twice, "Can't I just sit still?"

"No." Those eyes could move. Li Man walked over, dragged him off the kang, picked up his clothes and threw them in his arms, "Go out first."

"Alas..." Li Shu was pushed out of the room reluctantly, and stood at the door, "Daughter-in-law, change quickly."

Li Man didn't respond to him, and directly locked the door from the inside, and then picked up the undershirt, bottoms, pants, and cheongsam made by Li Hua and changed them one by one.

"Daughter-in-law, have you changed?" At the door, Li Shu quickly got dressed, and impatiently knocked on the door to urge Li Man.

Li Man was looking at herself up and down, listening to Li Shu's urging, she rolled her eyes helplessly, and continued to see if there was anything inappropriate.

However, Li's painting skills are top-notch, and the size is just right.

"daughter in law......"

"What's the matter?" At this moment, Li Mo just came out from the backyard. Seeing Li Shu like this, he couldn't help asking.

Li Shu turned his head to see that it was the eldest brother, and said with a smile, "My daughter-in-law is changing her clothes, I asked if she is ready."

Li Mo's face sank, "She changed clothes, why are you urging?"

"It's the clothes that the fourth brother made for her, I'm just curious." Li Shu laughed disapprovingly.

Li Mo's heart skipped a beat, new clothes? It is said that Man'er looks good in anything she wears, "She will come out when she is dressed, don't rush her."

"Oh." Li Shu shrugged his eyebrows and said nothing.

At this time, Li Yan came out of the east room while wearing his coat, and saw his elder brother and third younger brother standing at the door of Li Man, his eyes darkened a little, he walked over and asked, "Is she in?"

"Well, changing clothes." Li Shu replied casually, while looking at the door again, it was still closed.

Li Yan raised his eyebrows, "Are you peeping?"

"Who peeked?" Li Shu hurriedly gave Li Yan a quick look. He wouldn't do such things that blaspheme his wife.

Li Mo also pulled his face, "Everyone is busy, what are you doing here?"

After speaking, he turned around and wanted to go to the kitchen.

At this moment, the door of the west room opened, and Li Man stood gracefully in front of the crowd.

A head of black and soft long hair is coiled up high, revealing a smooth and clean neck. The originally charming face is more and more like a flower, shining brightly. She is wearing a light yellow floral cheongsam, which outlines a graceful and graceful figure. Two thin white legs looming.

The three people at the door were insane!

What is their expression?

"Does it look good?" Li Man blinked her eyes and asked suspiciously.

For some reason, Li Yan felt his heart was on fire. Before Li Man could step out of the door, he strode over, grabbed her by the arm, and dragged her back to the room.

"You just wear this?" Li Yan looked at her smooth neck, tender little arms, and those pair of thin white legs, and wished he could wrap her up in a *quilt.

Li Mo and Li Shu also followed in, and they all had the same thoughts as Li Yan.

The daughter-in-law is very beautiful in this dress, but the more beautiful it is, the more they want to hide her.

Looking at the three people's eyes that were gradually darkening, Li Man felt a little unnatural, and felt a little lost in her heart, "Isn't it good-looking?" Without a full-length mirror, the small mirror at home can only take half of the face, and she doesn't know how the upper body will look. I just feel that it fits well and is very comfortable.

"It looks good." Li Shu stared at Li Man without blinking, and told the truth in a flash.

Finally, a smile appeared on the corners of Li Man's lips, as long as it looks good, but before she could feel complacent, Li Yan picked up the clothes she had put on the wardrobe and stuffed them into her arms.

"What are you doing?" Li Man wondered.

"Put it on." Li Yan ordered with a sullen face, looking at her with disgust, "What kind of clothes are these? It's so ugly, change them quickly."

"Ugly?" Li Man was really surprised. Although she couldn't see her whole body, if she said she was ugly in a cheongsam, she would be lying.

In modern times, she also loves cheongsam very much. They say that she wears it gracefully and elegantly, and is beautiful and moving. Now, even though she is shorter in stature and her body is not yet fully grown, she is not called "ugly".

Li Man was not happy all of a sudden, she bit her lip and stared at Li Yan angrily, "I have no vision."

"Man'er, why don't you just change it." Li Mo coaxed softly, if his wife dressed like this, he would not dare to let her out of this room.

Li Man was surprised, "You think ugly too?"

"It's okay if it's not ugly? Arms and legs are exposed, it's ugly." Seeing her disobedience, Li Yan became a little anxious, but the little girl's stubborn temper made it impossible for her not to wear it. Besides, she wore it Wearing this dress, it is really beautiful and moving.

"How about we wear it at night." Li Yan seemed to have made a great compromise.

Wearing a cheongsam at night? what? Pretend to be a ghost and scare people? Li Man's face darkened instantly, "What do I wear this to sleep at night?"

Li Yan was startled, and then a sly smile appeared in his eyes, "Hey, show me the clothes at night, only show us, don't wear them out."

"I don't want to go out either, I'm at home." Li Man said helplessly, "It's so hot, and I'm still wearing long shirts and trousers every day, it's uncomfortable."

"When our new house is built, it shouldn't be so hot." Li Mo said, now the house is short and simple, and there is little wind blowing in in the summer. It is indeed a kang.

Li Man looked at Li Mo depressedly. Like Li Yan, he was so overbearing that she was not allowed to dress like this at home? God, fortunately this is a cheongsam, and she hasn't asked Li Hua to make cooler pajamas for herself, otherwise, they would have wrapped her up in a quilt.

"Hey, it's getting late, you quickly change your clothes, I'll make breakfast." Li Yan saw that her face was not good, his voice softened, and he coaxed her slowly.

Li Man bit her lip stubbornly, "I don't."

"Hey, if you like it, you can wear it at night." Li Yan patted her lightly, coaxing and coaxing her.

"It's hard for Li Hua to make it. Besides, I plan to sell this in the store. Even if you don't let me wear it, can I still sell it?" Li Man was a little frustrated. She couldn't think of a man of this age. They can also be conservative to this extent, but they can even accept their husbands and wives? Why can't even a beautiful dress be accepted?

Hearing this, Li Mo and the others were stunned, "Are you going to sell this kind of clothes?"

"Otherwise?" With other clothes, she has a chance of winning?

Li Yan frowned slightly, and said seriously, "Girl, this dress looks good, but if you want to sell it, it may be difficult. The arms and legs are exposed, who would dare to buy it?"

Li Man really wanted to say, what can I do with my arms and legs exposed? Isn't it revealing other important places? However, seeing their serious expressions, she fell silent.

Could it be that her thoughts were out of date? However, she really wanted to spread such unique and beautiful clothes styles to the public.

"What's the matter?" Li Hua made clothes late last night, slept late, and woke up late in the morning, so he wanted to go to the kitchen to fetch water to wash up. When he passed by Westinghouse, he saw these people standing like logs.

Li Man looked at him in disappointment, hugged the clothes Li Yan asked her to change, and sat down on the kang silently.

Li Hua was a little strange, and followed in. Seeing Li Man's different makeup today, his eyes flashed with amazement, "Man'er..."

"You said you too, why make this kind of clothes for her if you have nothing to do?" Li Yan looked at Li Hua questioningly.

Li Hua was inexplicable, "What's wrong?"

"Look for yourself." Li Yan looked at Li Hua depressedly. The fourth brother is like this. He usually supports whatever the little girl wants to do. Now, let's shoot him in the foot, right?

She looks like a little girl, and he doesn't think it's enough to wear a veil when she goes out. In his own yard, he's afraid that people passing by will take a second look. After making this kind of jerry-built clothes, can the arms and legs be shown to others casually?

Only then did Li Hua look at Li Man again, but he still thought it was very beautiful, "What's the problem?"

"If she goes out like this, don't you worry?" Li Yan cast him a blank stare.

"Going out?" Li Hua was taken aback, "Man'er, are you going out in this suit?"

"No, I'm just at home." Li Man said aggrievedly.

"Home? If you don't go to the yard, why don't you go out here?" Li Yan asked back.

Li Man glared at him angrily, "Can't I change it? Old-fashioned."

"What did you say?" To describe him as rigid? Damn girl.

Li Man curled her lips, "Everyone go out, I'll change clothes."

"Oh, come out." As long as Man'er is willing to change, Li Mo hurriedly pulled Li Yan away, for fear that he would annoy Li Man by saying something again. In fact, what he said had already annoyed her.

The brothers went out, and Li Man sat alone on the kang, with no other emotions except depression.

At the door, Li Shu sighed, looked at his elder brother and younger brother hesitantly, and said, "Actually, I think my daughter-in-law dresses pretty well, she looks really good."

After the words fell, Li Mo and Li Yan glared at him at the same time.

"You still think she's not good-looking enough?" Li Yan said unhappily, because she was good-looking, that's why she didn't dare to let her dress so coolly. If she's an ugly crying woman, don't worry so much.

Li Shu fell silent immediately.

Li Hua was also a little confused, "Man'er put a lot of thought into this dress."

"She doesn't wear it herself." Li Yan thought for a while, and then said, "If she wants to sell it, then she can."

"Second brother, let's make breakfast." Li Hua glanced at Li Yan, then knocked on the door lightly, "Man'er, can I come in?"

Li Man had already changed her clothes, folded the cheongsam, and put it on the kang. When she heard Li Hua's voice, she said, "Come in."

"Tell her well." Knowing that the fourth brother went in to comfort Li Man, Li Mo confessed.

Li Hua nodded, opened the door and went in.

"Still sad?"

Li Man shook her head lightly, but the disappointment on her face could not be concealed from others.

Li Hua came over and smiled softly, "Second brother is a bit harsh, but he cares too much about you."

Li Man bit her lip, and sat on the kang again without saying a word. She actually knew what Li Yan was thinking. She was disappointed that her man would not allow her to wear it, and men from other families would naturally not allow women to wear it. Want to open a store to sell this kind of clothes? Can it be sold?

"Actually, you are beautifully dressed." Li Hua leaned against her side, praising her heartily, "But..."

He didn't say the following words, but Li Man still understood his eyes and sighed heavily.

"The dress is beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Li Hua nodded. It was indeed much better looking than the long trousers worn by ordinary people, especially when Man'er wore them. It not only complimented her figure, but also seemed to have grown taller invisibly.

"Then is this a good thing?" Li Man asked eagerly.

Li Hua hesitated for a moment, then nodded again, "But..."

"No, but since the clothes are beautiful and good, why can't they be worn? Why can't they be sold so that more people can wear them?" Li Man interrupted him.

"This..." Li Hua looked at Li Man carefully, seeing that her eyes were full of serious entanglements, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, "Man'er, you should know that it is not appropriate for a woman to show her face outside. If you wear such clothes to go out again, you will be pointed behind your back."

All women should know these things, but his man'er seems to be totally ignorant of them.

"Point and point?" Could it be that this is really the age when women dare not even show their arms? But every time she went out, she didn't feel wrong.

Seeing Li Man's expression becoming more and more disappointed, Li Hua comforted, "But don't worry, I know, you like those clothes very much, and hope more people can wear them. We will support you, so, in the future What do you want to do, please continue."

"What do you mean?" Li Man didn't understand what he said for a moment, "You mean, you still support me in selling this clothes?"

"Otherwise, is it sad to see you?" Li Hua gently rubbed her hair, "As long as you like it, that's fine."

"Really?" Li Man was very pleasantly surprised, but in the next moment, her face collapsed in disappointment, "Li Yan and elder brother will definitely not agree."

Li Hua shook his head, "This is what the second brother said, but—"

Upon hearing 'but', Li Man snorted, "Look, there are conditions, right?"

"You." Li Hua gave her an angry look with a smile, "Actually, it's not just the second brother and the others, I'm also worried, Man'er, do you know how beautiful you are?"

Deep in the words, Li Hua's eyes were full of affection, and Li Man's heart beat faster when he saw it, and she looked silly, "Is it so beautiful?"

Why didn't she realize that there is still a shortage of women here, so even a woman would think she is beautiful?

Li Hua laughed uncontrollably, "Could it be that our brothers haven't let you realize it yet?"

Li Man's face turned red, and she glared at him, "You've learned too well."

"Man'er." Li Hua knew that she was shy, but she liked to see her shyness so much, so she continued, "Well, I'm bad. So, you should know that even someone like me can learn to be bad for you. Now, what about other people? Man'er, you are my wife, the person I will protect all my life, sometimes I really don't want you to be so beautiful, it makes people want to hide you all the time."

"Nonsense." I said so in my mouth, but it was quite useful in my heart, and the previous emotions gradually disappeared.

"Aren't you talking nonsense, don't you know? I'm not lying." Li Hua smiled comfortably when she saw her red face smiling, "Man'er, just listen to my second brother. Wear it at home at night, okay?"

Now that it's all said and done, what else can she do? She also doesn't want to be judged by others.

"Okay." It seems that she has no chance to wear this cheongsam. There is no night market or nightlife here at night. After dinner, she basically sleeps on the kang. Who would wear a cheongsam to sleep when they are bored?

Li Hua got up at this moment, and stretched out a hand towards her, "Then let's go out and see what delicious food Second Brother makes in the morning?"

"What else can he do, besides sticking cakes and corn buns, there is no third thing." Li Man smiled and stood up.

Li Hua also laughed, but there was some taste in his eyes, "You know him well."

Li Man blushed slightly, and took his hand, "Let's go, I'll make breakfast for you."

——

After breakfast, Li Yan was still doing his carpentry work, and Li Mo and Li Shu were helping in the yard.

Li Hua helped Li Man tailor a suit of men's clothing in the east room, and Xiao Wu also stayed at home to write.

Because she often left early and returned late in the past few days, she neglected a lot of housework. Today, Li Man didn't go out again, so she stayed at home to clean up.

After the meal, I wiped the inside and outside of the kitchen first, and then cleaned the family's laundry list in the pond behind.

After a busy morning, she came back and mixed chicken and pig food to feed the chickens and pigs. She didn't go to prepare lunch until Li Shu was hungry.

In the afternoon, there was nothing to do, so Li Man slept alone in the west room, and heard someone shouting in a daze.

"Teacher Man'er..."

Li Man opened her eyes and heard the familiar voice, so she got up and got off the kang. Before she came out, she heard Xiao Wu's voice, "My sister is sleeping, don't shout."

"Oh, Xiao Wu, this is muskmelon, it's just from my uncle's house. It's sweet and watery, and it's delicious." Dayong smiled and handed a basket of muskmelon to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu didn't pick it up, "My sister brought back a lot last time, and she hasn't finished eating yet? Since it's from your uncle, it must not be too much. You can take it home and eat it yourself."

"I kept them at home. These are for you, Teacher Man'er, and Brother Mo." Dayong said, and put the basket at the kitchen door.

Xiao Wu hurried over, grabbed Dayong with one hand, and picked up the basket for him with the other, "You take it home, we don't want it."

"Little Five?" Li Man came out. She heard the conversation between Xiao Wu and Dayong just now, and felt that the little guy's attitude was very indifferent. She didn't know why, so she just hurried out the door.

"Teacher Man'er?" Dayong saw Li Man coming out, his eyes lit up immediately, and a blush quietly crept up the corners of his eyes and brows. He only glanced at it just now, and then lowered his eyelids, not daring to look at Li Man again.

"It's Dayong?" Li Man walked towards him and saw that there were about five or six ripe cantaloupe in the basket he and Xiao Wu were pulling. She smiled and said, "Are these for me? Thank you very much."

With that said, Li Man took out two melons from the basket and said, "Two are enough, take the rest home and give it to the aunt and your sisters to eat."
