Fortunate Wife

Seeing that Li Man took two, Dayong was very happy, and quickly stuffed the baskets into her hands, "Teacher Man'er, I have some more at home, and these are for you."

After speaking, he glanced at Li Man hastily, blushed, turned around and ran away.

Li Man was taken aback, Xiao Wu had quickly snatched the basket from her hand, and chased after Dayong who was running away.

"Dayong, stop for me." In the afternoon of a family, Xiao Wu caught up with Dayong.

Dayong stood still, turned his head and looked at Xiao Wu in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"Take this back." Xiao Wu threw the basket to him.

Dayong looked embarrassed, "Xiao Wu, what are you doing? It's for you, you can just eat it, I still have it at home."

"My sister took two, and I asked you to take them home." Xiao Wu said.

"Really?" Dayong gritted his teeth, and stared at Xiao Wu carefully, "Xiao Wu, what happened to you recently? It feels like you have changed."

"You are the one who has changed." Xiao Wu glared at him angrily.

Dayong refused to accept it, and stared at him, "Why have I changed? It's you, who targets me everywhere, and refuses to answer when I talk to you. What are you doing? Why don't you be with me?"

Xiao Wu's eyes also turned fierce, like a little beast that just wants to fight back, "Don't you know in your heart? Who is Sister Man'er to me?"

"Eh?" Dayong's expression froze, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean you can't understand? Dayong, let me tell you, Sister Man'er is our brother's daughter-in-law, so don't try to get her ideas." Xiao Wu said directly.

Dayong's heart was suffocated, his face was purple with embarrassment, "You, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Am I talking nonsense?" Xiao Wu stared at him mockingly, "If you are not guilty, why are you blushing?"

"I, I never thought about it that way." Having said that, Dayong didn't dare to stare into Xiao Wu's eyes like before.

Xiao Wu sneered, "I didn't think it would be the best. I'll leave it at that today. She may be your teacher, but she will never be anything else. Just let go of this idea. From now on, we will still be good brothers, and we will still be good friends like before." The same. If you have a crooked mind again, I will pretend that I have never known you. You can think about it yourself. "

After finishing speaking, Xiao Wu gave him a cold look, turned around and ran back home.

Here, Dayong was carrying a basket of cantaloupe, as if he had been hit by a big blow, he walked home dejectedly and in despair.

"Xiao Wu." Li Man had already brought the two melons back to the kitchen, and when she saw Xiao Wu coming back, she asked with a smile, "Give it back to Dayong?"

"Huh?" Is my sister not angry?

Li Man didn't ask any more questions. She washed and cut the two cantaloupes, and handed them to Xiao Wu. Then, she took two more pieces and went out, and gave them to Li Mo and others in the yard.

Xiao Wu leaned against the kitchen door and was relieved to see that Li Man was acting as usual. No matter what, she must not let her sister know about Dayong.

"Yeah, Xiao Wu, why are you in a daze?" Li Man turned back and wanted to give Li Hua more melons, when she suddenly saw Xiao Wu staring at her without blinking. The look in her eyes was very strange, and she couldn't help but look at her. Stepping forward, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

Xiao Wu was shocked, and suddenly came back to his senses, Li Man's pretty face in front of him, but he jumped in fright, "Ah, sister?"

"Why are you in a daze? By the way, did you quarrel with Dayong?" The careful Li Man also noticed something was wrong. Xiao Wu is a gentle child, but when he talked to Dayong today, his tone was very blunt and his attitude was indifferent.

"No." Xiao Wu shook his head, gnawing on the cantaloupe.

"Really?" Li Man looked at him suspiciously, obviously not believing, "Tell me, why? If Dayong is wrong, next time he comes, I will definitely criticize him."

"No, it has nothing to do with you." Xiao Wu didn't want Li Man to get in touch with Dayong again.

Li Man blinked her eyes, looked at Xiao Wu as a young adult, and laughed, "Okay, okay, it has nothing to do with me, but I have to remind you, you gnawed the skin of the melon."

After finishing speaking, he giggled without giving face.

Xiao Wu saw that he gnawed hard just now, and swallowed the skin and seeds together, only now did he feel a bit bitter.

"Okay, you eat the melon that Dayong gave. There can be conflicts between friends, but we can't let the conflicts exist forever. Our little five is the most sensible and generous child, even if he has something bad, Forgive him, hold hands, we are still good friends, huh?" Li Man rubbed his head and coaxed him with a smile.

"Yeah." Xiao Wu leaned against the door frame, bowed his head obediently, but felt aggrieved in his heart, what kind of child? He is no longer a child, okay? In half a month, he will be eleven.

Li Man only thought that Xiao Wu and Dayong were in conflict with each other like two children playing a house, and didn't take it to heart. After coaxing him a few words, she took the cantaloupe and went to the east room to see Li's paintings.

Li Hua was sitting cross-legged on the kang, leaning against the small window, sewing Li Man's clothes carefully stitch by stitch. He had a focused expression, nimble fingers, and a charming personality in threading the needles.

Li Man stood at the door, looking at him with a pair of fixed eyes, his eyes gradually became gentle and watery, such a scene made her unable to bear to disturb her.

But, soon, Xu Shi was surrounded by her soft and warm eyes, Li Hua turned his head slightly, and the moment he saw her, there was a flash of heat in his eyes, "Why don't you come in?"

"Oh, I see you are sewing so seriously, I can't bear to disturb you." In fact, he sewed clothes pretty well, and she was so seductive that she didn't want to be disturbed.

"Oh, come in." Li Hua put the sewing materials aside, and moved his neck a few times.

"Are you tired?" These days, Li Hua has been making clothes for everyone non-stop. Li Hua has hardly rested. Seeing him stretch his neck tiredly, Li Man hurried over and handed the melon to him, "Eat the melon first." .”

On the other hand, she climbed onto the kang, half-kneeled behind him, and reached out to touch the back of his neck.

"What are you doing?" Her little hands had just been soaked in cold water, and they were very cold. When they touched her skin, it was both itchy and cold. Li Hua couldn't help shrinking her neck, and laughed.

Li Man knew that he was very ticklish, so she also bent her lips and smiled, but her slender fingers pressed on his neck with moderate strength.

A feeling of comfort pervaded immediately, and Li Man took a light breath, "Man'er?"

"Don't move, it doesn't itch, your neck must be sore after sitting with your head bowed for a long time, I'll just rub it for you." Li Man coaxed, thinking that he couldn't bear the itching so she wouldn't let her massage.

Li Hua smiled softly, his handsome face was full of comfort, she made it so comfortable, even if it was itchy, he would endure it, gradually, he closed his eyes, only feeling a pair of soft little hands touching The back of the neck was gently kneaded, and after a while, the little hands clenched into fists again, beating vigorously on his shoulders and back.

It's so comfortable that you want to hum.

"Ha, isn't it comfortable?" Hearing that comfortable snort overflowing from his mouth, Li Man was a little proud. Although her skills are not as good as Li Yan's, but fortunately she often enjoys this kind of service, so she started to serve others again. , nor unfamiliar.

"Yeah." Li Hua nodded comfortably, but felt sorry for her, "Let's take a break, should your hands be sore?"

"It's okay. Do you want to lie on your stomach, and I'll squeeze your waist again..." As he spoke, those nimble little hands slowly slid to his waist...

"Ah, haha, itchy." This is his sensitive spot. After all, he couldn't stand her touch. Li Hua trembled, avoiding her hand, and leaned against the corner, still couldn't help blushing, itching unbearably. .

Li Man was stunned, "So ticklish?" I didn't enjoy my life, hehe, "That's okay, does your neck feel better?"

"Well, it's much better." Li Hua leaned against the wall, his body still a little soft.

"Then you should eat melons. You will do it after you have a rest. Also, you can't keep your head down while doing needlework. This will not only make your neck sore, but your eyes will also get tired. It is also very important to look out of the window occasionally and rest your eyes." Li Man said.

Li Hua's eyes were full of smiles, but he said, "What should I do? It's easy to forget everything when I'm doing something, or you just sit and watch, and if you think it's too long, tell me to rest?"

"Huh?" Sitting and watching? Immediately, Li Man saw a trace of cunning in his eyes again, her cheeks flushed, and she said angrily, "Eat your melon, I have other things to do, I will come to see you later."

After finishing speaking, regardless of his burning eyes, he hurriedly rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and slipped out.

Li Hua looked at her back, the corners of her lips raised into a more beautiful curve.

——

After leaving the east room, Li Man went to the kitchen by herself and ate two slices of melon. Then, she washed the knife and cutting board, wiped her hands, and went to the bamboo pole in the corner to collect the clothes and sheets.

On such a day, the laundry can be easily dried, and she takes the collected clothes*list to her room, folds them all, and then sorts them. To the East House.

A busy and fulfilling day passed slowly, the sun gradually set, and the heat slowly dissipated.

Li Man started to prepare dinner for the family again. The men were tired from work, so she wanted to prepare more good food, but the conditions were limited, and the most nutritious food was probably eggs.

So, at night, Li Man specially cooked a large pot of loofah egg soup, which was delicious and nutritious.

In addition, I also fried as many dishes as possible. Although they are all vegetarian, they have different styles. Stir-fried beans, tiger skin green peppers, stir-fried small pumpkin shreds, cold cucumbers, and a plate of spicy sauerkraut for rice. .

Therefore, for a meal, the brothers ate with relish, and everyone ate up the big pot of stewed rice, and there was not even soup left in the dishes.

After eating, the brothers went to the yard and walked slowly along the yard. According to Li Shu, they ate too much dinner and took a walk to digest food.

Li Man was in the kitchen, washing the dishes and looking at the men in the yard with a gentle smile in his eyes.

——

It was another sunny morning, Li Man sat up excitedly as soon as she opened her eyes.

"Wake up so early? I don't have much work today." Li Hua rubbed her red eyes and asked her that she stayed up late last night to make her clothes.

Li Man patted him lightly, "You didn't sleep well last night, you should sleep again."

She couldn't wait to try on the new clothes Li Hua made for him. Since she was not allowed to wear cheongsam, then men's clothes should be fine, right?

He got off the kang quickly, grabbed the neat clothes on the big cabinet, and Li Man eagerly put them on.

Behind him, Li Hua lost sleepiness, sat up cross-legged, looked at Li Man and smiled, "The sleeves are reversed."

"Ah?" Li Man shook the gown again, looked for the sleeves, and put it on again.

In other words, these ancient clothes are really troublesome. Even after staying for so long, there are still times when I wear the clothes here and make mistakes.

Li Hua saw that she was wearing crooked clothes, it was too horrible to look at, and finally couldn't bear it, got off the kang, walked up to her, helped her tidy up her clothes, and re-fastened her belt.

Finally, Li Man spun a circle in front of him and asked happily, "How is it?"

Li Hua didn't say anything, just stared at her with a strange expression.

"What's wrong? It's ugly?" Li Man didn't wear men's clothes, but she didn't know very well. Seeing Li Hua's expression, she hurriedly found a small mirror to take pictures of her body, but she could only see a certain piece of fabric, the whole body effect , that is delusional.

"So ugly?" Putting down the small mirror, Li Man was depressed. Suddenly, she thought of something again, and hurriedly said, "I know, it must be the hair is wrong."

Men all have their hair tied up, but she usually wears her hair in a bun, and a man with a bun is naturally weird.

So, she quickly gathered her hair and tied it with a hair tie.

"So?" Then, he asked Li Hua seriously.

"Man'er." Li Hua put his hands on her shoulders, and looked at her expectant figure with tangled eyes, "Why don't you wear a veil."

"Huh?" Li Man was puzzled.

At this time, the men in the next room also got up one after another. Passing by, they saw the two through the small window, and couldn't help being curious, "What are you doing?"

The two stood in the room stupidly like wooden stakes.

Li Hua let go of Li Man, and went straight to open the door.

Li Shu was the first to squeeze into the room, and then Li Mo, Li Yan, and Xiaowu all followed.

Li Man just changed into new clothes, but was shocked by Li Hua's weird expression, but wouldn't it be better to look ugly? Isn't it just to cover people's eyes and ears?

After thinking about it, she felt that this was better, but the men's eyes made her feel a little uncomfortable again.

"I know it's ugly, but in this way, you can rest assured?" She said with some self-mockery.

"Don't worry?" Li Yan's eyebrows were furrowed even tighter, and he sized Li Man up and down critically.

Others are similar.

Li Man was already very beautiful, but now she is wearing men's clothes that are one size smaller, her black hair is tied up high, and her small face is exquisite and handsome, her eyebrows are picturesque, her eyes are like spring water, she is indescribable Coquettish and delicate, it is actually a bit more moving and light than in women's clothing.

In addition, she is not very old at all, so dressed like this, she looks even smaller and pitiful, like a little doll in the ignorant stage, if she stands with Xiao Wu, they will treat her as a younger brother.

Such a delicate and lovely boy, who would dare to let him out?

I'm not afraid of being kidnapped by a kidnapper.

"Let's wear a veil from now on." In the end, Li Yan actually said the same thing as Li Hua.

"What?" Li Man was surprised, "What do you want to do? You are not allowed to wear cheongsam yesterday, but you can't wear it like this today? You can't look good, but you can't be ugly. I have to cover my face? Then why don't you cover it? I Don't worry about you going out."

"We are men. Men can never suffer." Li Yan gave her a funny look, "Besides, who said you are ugly like this?"

"Not ugly? Not ugly, why don't you let me wear it?" Li Man glared at the crowd angrily, feeling more and more that her status in this family was gone, and she couldn't even decide what clothes to wear.

Li Mo was also entangled, "Man'er, why don't we discuss it again."

"No, every time it is said to be a discussion, it is actually up to you to make the decisions." Li Man quit, she thought this outfit was pretty good, "I will go out like this from now on, as long as no one recognizes me as a woman."

"But you are more beautiful than a woman, and more dangerous." Li Yan was helpless, and couldn't help but feel sad. The world is dangerous, and the little girl doesn't understand it. A handsome little boy.

"What's the danger?" Li Man didn't understand, "Every time you go out, you follow, what danger can there be?"

"..." All the men fell silent, yes, they followed each time, but if there was any danger to approach Li Man, it would be their incompetence.

As a man, who allows himself to be incompetent?

If it is said that their women are too beautiful, they don't even have the ability to protect this beauty, so what face do they possess?

Always going against a woman's wishes and trying to hide her beauty, damn it, it's the work of a coward.

Well, the men have tens of thousands of entanglements and struggles in their hearts in an instant.

In the end, Li Hua said first, "Then, just wear it like this." A beautiful boy is always safer than a beautiful woman.

Li Man's face brightened, and she scanned the others with her eyes.

Li Yan looked at her cute little appearance, he liked it but felt helpless, "Okay, you can wear it if you like."

Li Mo, Li Shu, and even Xiao Wu nodded one after another.

Especially Xiao Wu, not only nodded, but even felt quite happy.

He is a little taller than Li Man now, but he is always treated like a child by Li Man.

But at this moment, looking at Li Man who was younger than himself, he finally had confidence.

Although he is younger than her, he has the feeling of being her brother, hehe, this feeling is great.

With their unanimous approval, Li Man finally felt relieved. She laughed twice, brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear, and then smiled sweetly at everyone, "I'll cook first, and I'll cook later." We still have to go to the county seat."

"county seat?"

Before Li Mo and others were confused, Li Man had already ran out. Yesterday, she told Li Yan and Li Shu about this, and she was too lazy to explain it. Li Mo and the others wanted to know, so let Li Yan talk about it.

While Li Man was making breakfast, Li Yan also made things clear to Li Mo.

Although Li Mo was worried about this, he had nothing to do, and finally decided, "I'll go too."

"Second brother and I are enough." Li Shu said.

Li Mo glanced at him, "If something happens, how can the two of you do it? Besides, you have never left the courtyard that far. I don't worry."

"Brother, let me go." Li Hua also said at this time, "The last time I sent my master to Fucheng, I have been to the county town."

"I'm going too." Since the four older brothers are going out, Xiao Wu naturally doesn't want to be left at home by himself again.

"What about the house? Big black and little yellow, and pigs and chickens." Li Mo didn't want to bring so many people there.

Xiao Wu pouted, "No, I'm going."

"Brother, why don't you stay home?" Li Yan looked at Li Mo.

Li Mo's face sank, telling him to wait and worry at home was more uncomfortable than punching him twice, "Forget it, let's all go, the big deal is to ask someone to take care of him at home for two days."

"Okay." Xiao Wu immediately cheered, growing so big, the farthest place he has gone is the town outside the mountain. This time, it would be great to go to a place as far away as the county town.

Li Man didn't know their decision, and when she knew she wanted to go with the whole family, she was a little dumbfounded. This was not going out for travel and fun, but to buy goods and learn about the market.

However, after talking for a long time, Li Mo said that he was worried about them, Li Yan said that he would definitely not be able to do without them, Li Shu said that there was a problem on the road, and he could take care of both of them, Li Hua said that he knew them well, and Xiao Wu said that they all left No, he was scared at home alone.

Well, Li Man had no choice but to agree in the end. After breakfast, he packed a big bag to salute.

Li Mo went to Dayong's house, looking for Dayong's mother, and wanted her to take care of the house. The main thing was to feed the pigs and chickens. The front of the cart.

In this way, with the ox cart, the journey will be much faster.

After everything was packed, it was already mid-noon, so Li Man simply made some pancakes and steamed buns, boiled all the eggs left at home, and took them on the road as dry food.

Finally, in the tension and excitement of going out for the first time, the whole family got on the bullock cart and set off in a mighty way.
