Fortunate Wife

After hearing this, Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Did you bring someone here?" Didn't everything get delivered to the store before? So he didn't ask too much.

Li Man paused, knowing that he had a prejudice against the Zhang family. These days, it was also because she had no direct contact with the Zhang family that he indulged her a bit.

"I don't know either." Li Man was telling the truth. Today, Manager Zhang brought a few maids to deliver things together, which really surprised her too.

Li Yan didn't speak anymore, turned his head, and looked at Zhang Ben who was standing aside stupidly, "Why are you still here? Didn't Li Shu ask you to demonstrate the sewing machine to them?"

Zhang Ben was holding the plate, and was about to eat the hawthorn in a daze. When he asked this, he was stunned again, "Didn't you bring me here?"

"Oh," Li Yan stared at the hawthorn in his hand, immediately took the plate back, and handed it to Li Xiangcao who was lighting the fire, "Here, sister."

Li Xiangcao didn't answer, "I won't eat it, you guys can eat it."

"It's too sour. Besides, we old men, who will eat this? Let's eat it with Man'er." Li Yan directly put the plate on the pot table, then put Zhang Ben's shoulders and pulled him went out again.

For dinner, Li Man cooked a few more dishes, and the men drank it first.

However, with the lessons learned from the past, Li Shu no longer dared to speak nonsense, and Zhang Ben also did not dare to drink too much because he was afraid of losing his composure because he was drunk last time.

So, when Li Man and Li Xiangcao finally brought the last bowl of soup to the table, the men consciously covered the wine jar and wanted to eat together.

It's better not to drink, so as not to have to clean up when drunk, Li Man simply served a few people with food.

Everyone sat around the table and ate happily.

"Daughter-in-law, this soup is really delicious." Li Shu took a sip of the soup that was served at the end, and was full of praise after drinking it.

Li Man looked at Li Xiangcao with a smile, "My sister-in-law made this. I boiled it in the middle of the afternoon, and the ribs are so rotten."

"Sister-in-law made it, no wonder it's so delicious." Li Shu laughed dryly, praised it again, and then ate other dishes, saying they were delicious.

Because of the presence of outsiders, Li Xiangcao was not as relaxed as Li Man, she just smiled shyly, and then bowed her head to eat.

The shyness when he bowed his head happened to fall into the eyes of Zhang Ben who was sitting opposite, and he couldn't help but be dazed.

"Hey, don't you eat vegetables?" Li Shu sat next to Zhang himself, watched him hold the chopsticks still, and touched him lightly.

Zhang Ben was startled, and when he came back to his senses, his embarrassed face was purple, and he hurriedly lowered his head to pick up the rice.

Li Yan looked at him, amused, "Zhang Ben, is our food really that delicious? Look at you, you can eat it all over your face."

It wasn't a big deal at first, but because of Li Yan's joke, everyone couldn't help but look at Zhang Ben.

Zhang Ben was already thin-skinned, especially when he saw Li Xiangcao also cast a curious look at him, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his head in the bowl and never lift it up again.

Li Man glared at Li Yan quietly, this guy would bully him honestly.

"Zhang Ben, eat vegetables." Li Mo, as a parent, was afraid of Zhang Ben's embarrassment, so he took the initiative to say hello. Are you so thin-skinned?

Tonight... Li Mo couldn't help but looked at Li Man and Li Xiangcao, and laughed in his heart, probably with these two women around, Zhang Ben, a simple and honest man, was embarrassed.

Although Zhang Ben was embarrassed, he couldn't be a coward. He raised his head and smiled at everyone, "Eat, you all eat."

"We're eating, but it's you who knows how to grill rice for a long time. This dish is not bad. Just now, the third brother said that the pork rib soup is delicious. You should also eat some." Li Yan was very polite, and immediately scooped up the soup for him. , also sandwiched ribs.

Zhang Ben smelled the fragrant meat, thinking that it was made by Li Xiangcao himself, and he didn't care about being reserved, so his appetite whetted his appetite, and he laughed while eating, "It really smells delicious."

Li Xiangcao was slightly taken aback. After all, he was an outsider, different from her nephew, so she blushed uncomfortably after being praised by him like this. Fortunately, everyone's attention was not on her, and she just fell silent. Just eat first, and quickly covered up the past.

"Of course, my sister-in-law's cooking skills are also very good." Li Yan praised, before finishing speaking, she leaned closer to Li Man and added in a low voice, "However, your cooking skills are the best, girl."

"Go." Li Man glared at him, listening to what he said, as if she was still fussing over her sister-in-law.

Li Yan laughed and continued to eat.

After dinner, Zhang Ben didn't linger much, and was about to go home, Li Yan and Li Shu sent him out.

Li Man tidied up and waited in the main room. When Li Yan came back, he discussed the sewing machine with him. I told him a few details. After I modified it and the trial was successful, I could do more. , and then popularize it to those female workers, so that the supply will not be in short supply in the future.

"Man'er." Li Mo, who had already showered and tidied up, saw Li Man and Li Yan circling around the sewing machine, hesitated to come over, and called Li Man softly.

"Huh?" Li Man glanced at him, and then asked Li Yan, "Can you renovate these few places these few days? Brother Zhang has helped us so much, and I don't have the nerve to be picky."

Others have spent so much time and energy to make this thing for her, she is really embarrassed to say that this is not good and that is not good, not to mention that it is a small problem, Li Yan can take care of it. In addition, when he makes it at home, She is right next to her, and she can communicate at any time, which is much better than returning it to Zhang Ben and letting him do it again.

"Okay, I have nothing to change tonight, and it doesn't take much effort." Li Yan said, looking at Li Mo, he suddenly smiled, "Brother, are you interested in this too?"

"Ah... I'll take a look at it casually." Li Mo looked at the sewing machine, but he didn't really feel much. Unlike his second brother, he liked these woods since he was a child.

"Brother, there are still a few things waiting for Li Yan to improve. When the time comes, I will show you what speed is, hehe." Li Man was very confident.

"Yeah." Li Mo nodded, as long as she was happy, but he looked outside the door and said softly, "It's getting late, I boiled hot water for you, don't you want to take a bath? It's going to be cold."

"Oh, yes." Li Man slapped her head. When Li Mo boiled water just now, she told him to boil more water, and she wanted to use it too.

After explaining everything to Li Yan, Li Man had nothing to say, so she turned around and wanted to go upstairs to find clean clothes.

"Daughter-in-law? I've got it for you, it's in the bathroom." Li Mo hurriedly grabbed her and said.

Li Man was stunned for a moment, seeing that he looked away in embarrassment, suddenly thought of something, couldn't help but chuckled, and quickly broke away from him, and hurried to the bathroom.

Li Yan was beside him, feeling unspeakable in his heart, he just leaned back on the chair and didn't speak.

Only then did Li Mo remember that there was his second brother beside him, and he coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "Second brother, it's getting late, go to rest early."

"Oh, brother too, it's very cold tonight, brother, wear more clothes, don't catch a cold." Li Yan said, got up and went to the next bedroom.

Li Mojun's face was embarrassed, he didn't cough for real just now...

Not long after, Li Man came back after taking a bath, seeing Li Mo still standing in the main room in a daze, she couldn't help stepping forward and shaking her hands in front of his eyes, "Why are you in a daze?"

"No." Li Mo smelled an elegant fragrance from his nose, came back to his senses, looked at her and smiled, "I'll be waiting for you."

Li Man bit her lower lip with her white teeth, feeling a little shy, "Then close the door."

"En." Li Mo closed the door, then held the oil lamp in one hand and Li Man's hand in the other, leading her upstairs.

All the way back to the bedroom, Li Man finally let out a suppressed smile.

"What's the matter?" Li Mo put the oil lamp away, turned around and looked at the little woman who got into the tent and sat on the kang looking at him smiling.

Li Man shook her head vigorously, but refused to speak, but her laughter grew louder.

Heh, it was the first time that Li Mo was able to remind her to take a bath in front of Li Yan, so eager.

Li Mo was a little guilty by her laughter, and groped onto the kang, his voice hoarse, "Man'er, what are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at you." Li Man suddenly stretched out her hand, held his face, rubbed his cheeks with two fingers, and laughed again, "Brother, do you know how cute you are?"

Li Mo's head is full of black lines, cute? Is that a compliment to a man?

He didn't speak, Li Man took the initiative to kiss his forehead, leaned into his arms, and said softly, "You are in a hurry to let me come up, so you can tell me clearly."

When she talked to Li Yan just now, he just waited stupidly by the side. In the end, he was afraid that he couldn't wait any longer, so he said something about the cold bath water, heh——

Li Mo was even more embarrassed, lowering his eyes, seeing the sly smile in Li Man's eyes, he couldn't hold back the smile.

"Brother, how is the matter of buying the fertile land?" Li Man nestled in his arms and asked.

"There is already a prospect. After a few days, the old Jintou has reached an agreement, and we can go to see the land." Li Mo replied.

"Hmm." Li Man narrowed her eyes halfway, and began to imagine the life of a landlord in the future, with houses, land, business, and men... Is there anything more pleasant in life than this?

After thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing.

She was pressing against his chest, and the breath she exhaled swept across him, making him itchy, he took a tight breath, and asked with a smile, "Why are you so happy tonight?"

"Aren't you happy?" Li Man raised her eyes, looking at his slightly rolling Adam's apple and that resolute chin, suddenly, her heart felt itchy as if something had been brushed against her——

The little hand got into his clothes unconsciously.

Li Mo's whole body froze, and the hand holding her suddenly tightened.

Li Man put her hands around his neck, raised her head and kissed his lips lightly, and whispered, "Tonight, did you make me wait?"

Li Mo was full of joy, yes, he was in a hurry, but the autumn night was long, and he had plenty of time to make up for it.

——

Time passed, and it finally came to the day when Li Hua was going to take the autumn exam. Two days before the exam, Li Mo and Li Shu sent Li Hua to Fucheng together.

At home, because Li Man and Li Xiangcao are both women, and Xiao Wu is a half-grown child, Li Yan was left to take care of them at home.

During the day, he still went to the store, and at night he got off work and went home earlier than usual.

In the past few days, Zhang Ben came to the house frequently. Sometimes, when Li Yan was not at home, he also came. He took Dahei and Xiaohuang to the back mountain for a walk, and picked up a fluffy little white rabbit.

He said that the little white rabbit was injured, and he wanted to take it home to take care of it, but the condition of his house was really bad, and he was also afraid that if he didn't take care of him well, the little white rabbit would die in his hands again, so he had to ask him to take care of him. Li vanilla is gone.

Li Xiangcao was stunned at first, she can naturally take care of the injured little rabbit, but he begged her...

Li Man didn't think too much about it. She liked such a cute little rabbit very much. Immediately, she went back to her room and took out the medicine. She and Li Xiangcao applied the medicine to the little rabbit and carefully bandaged it.

In this way, even if Li Xiangcao didn't personally agree, but the little rabbit was with her, it was undoubtedly that she agreed to Zhang Ben's request and was willing to take care of the little rabbit.

In fact, Li Xiangcao lived up to her trust and took good care of the little white rabbit. Every day, she had to feed the rabbit before eating by herself. When she had nothing to do, she hugged the rabbit and stroked it.

But Zhang Ben worked even more frequently, and sometimes stayed at Li's house all day, of course, for the reason of watching rabbits.

Gradually, Li Man also figured out something.

That night, just when Li Yan was about to bully her upper body, she pushed him away and said solemnly, "Li Yan, I have something important to tell you."

"What's the big deal?" Li Yan was lying on his side on the kang, one arm domineeringly wrapped around her slender waist, and his slender fingers quietly tore off her belt, apparently he had no interest in the big things she said, he just wanted to be himself big event.

Li Man also turned sideways, facing him, "Did you see it? I feel that Brother Zhang seems to be interested in Sister-in-law."

"Oh." Li Yan snorted casually, and gently burrowed his fingertips into her waist.

"Ah." With an itchy waist, Li Man moved a bit, pressed his hand, and said angrily, "I'm telling you seriously, you are not at home during the day, but I am at home. Brother Zhang, these days, almost every day They're all here, and I see something wrong with the way he looks at my aunt."

Not allowed to touch? Li Yan lay down helplessly, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's just—" Li Man patted him suddenly, "It's just like the way you look at me now."

I wish I could swallow her up.

Today, when my sister-in-law was teasing the little rabbit, Li Man felt that what she saw in Zhang Ben's eyes was Li Yan's eyes at this moment.

Disturbing eyes.

Fortunately, the sister-in-law didn't pay attention at the time, otherwise, she would be ashamed and didn't know what to do.

"Oh. What kind of eyes do I see in your eyes?" Li Yan curled his lips into a low smile.

Li Man glared at him, "Are you still laughing? I'm serious. I think Zhang Ben may have taken a fancy to my sister-in-law."

"En." Li Yan nodded, and at the same time was a little surprised by Li Man's slow reaction.

Seeing that his reaction was flat, Li Man couldn't help but wonder, "What do you mean?"

"If the two of them can be together, there is nothing wrong with it." Regarding Li Man's slowness, Li Yan was afraid that it would be a waste of time to talk further, so he had to say it directly.

Li Man was startled, "Are they together? But sister-in-law doesn't seem to be interested in that." These days, she and Li Xiangcao have been getting along almost day and night. Yes, Li Xiangcao's mood has calmed down, but she has not. Seeing her plan to find another man, even...

"This is a matter between the two of them, let's leave it alone." Li Yan hugged her tightly, and the eldest brother and the others will be back tomorrow.

"How can I ignore it? Ah... scoundrel—"

"It's getting late."

"Can--"

"Shut up, baby—"

"She's my sister-in-law."

"So, I won't let her suffer." Li Yan said eagerly and panting, suppressing all the words Li Man wanted to say.

——

At dusk the next day, Li Mo, Li Shu and Li Hua finally returned.

The whole family was very happy. Li Man prepared a sumptuous dinner, and Zhang Ben was also invited.

The family sat and ate together, and the main topic was around Li Hua's exam.

Li Hua said that he didn't know how he did in the exam, but he did his best anyway.

Li Mo and others also said that they should do their best.

Now the Li family is no longer the impoverished family it was in the past. Regarding Li Hua's future, everyone does not have the kind of support for the family by relying on his career in the imperial examination. Now, the family members value his own ideas more.

Halfway through the hot meal, a visitor suddenly came to the Li family.

Li Xiangyu, a middle-aged man and woman, and a young girl.

"Elder Sister?" The whole family was stunned, but Li Xiangcao was the first to react and stood up to greet her.

The others also put down their chopsticks one after another, looking curiously at the four who arrived home after dark.

"Auntie." Li Mo and others also greeted one after another.

Li Xiangyu glanced at Li Xiangcao, displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she resisted and said nothing, but introduced the three people who came together to the family.

"Boss, this is your Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao and Cousin Yun, don't you remember?"

Only then did Li Mo and the others look at the three of them.

The middle-aged men and women seem to be older than Li Xiangyu. Although they are both wearing coarse clothes, they are clean and tidy without any patches. Come on, "This is the boss, Li Mo, right? Do you remember me? Back then, your father and I worked together. At that time, I often hugged you."

Li Mo was stunned, and the gate of memory opened slightly.

Li Xiangyu introduced again, "Brother Zhao, sister-in-law, this is the second child, the third child, the fourth child, and the fifth child. By the way, when you moved away from this mountain, the fifth child was not born yet, right?"

She automatically ignored Li Man in her words, and she didn't mean to introduce Li Man.

When Aunt Zhao heard the words, she immediately smiled and said, "The first and last is the fifth child, and even the fourth child has not been born yet. Look today, Sister Lan's children are all growing up so well."

"Heh, your Yun'er is not bad either. Look at this little girl, she doesn't look like a country girl. In my opinion, she's more decent than a lady from a rich family." Li Xiangyu said with a smile, pulling her back to stand Zhao Yun'er, who was writing, introduced to Li Mo and the others, "Yun'er, this is your eldest brother Li Mo, second brother Li Yan, third brother Li Shu, and Li Hua... By the way, I don't know who you are older than the fourth brother." Small."

"Aunt Yu, I'm eighteen." Zhao Yun'er said her age shyly.

Li Xiangyu smiled, "Oh, that's Li Hua's brother, he should be called your sister, and the youngest one is Xiao Wu."

Zhao Yun'er nodded one by one, followed Li Xiangyu's words and called out affectionately, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth..."

"Who are you? Brother, don't yell like that." Li Shu looked at the stranger who broke into his house suddenly, and felt a little confused. He went to Fucheng for several days, and finally returned home. He still wanted to go early at night. It's good to have a warm relationship with my wife, but it's annoying to have so many relatives come here all of a sudden.

Zhao Yun'er's white and tender skin froze, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and thick mist already gushed out of her eyes.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense if you don't know." Li Xiangyu immediately scolded Li Shu, and then coaxed Zhao Yun'er, "Your third brother has been such an idiot since he was a child, please ignore him, by the way, this is your Aunt Vanilla."

Then, she introduced Li Xiangcao.

Li Xiangcao nodded slightly, and called out with some hesitation, "Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao."

The two immediately smiled, "Oh, okay, vanilla, I almost didn't recognize her after so many years."

Li Xiangcao smiled shyly, but didn't say much.

"Auntie, who are you here today?" Seeing that she deliberately exposed Li Man, Li Mo was dissatisfied, but he didn't want to fuss too much. Li Man is their woman, and it doesn't matter if others know about it or not.

Only then did Li Xiangyu express her original intention, "No, I met your Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao the other day. They just came back from the county and wanted to go back to their hometown. I didn’t have a clue, so I naturally wanted to come to you first, and I thought you had built a new house, so I was afraid they couldn’t find it, so I brought it here myself.”
