Fortunate Wife

"You have a really good relationship with your sister-in-law Man'er." Seeing Tian Ningying carefully put away the paper-cut that was given to Li Man, Yun Yan said sourly.

Tian Ningying tilted her head and smiled at her, "That's right, Sister-in-law Man'er is a good person."

As she said that, she tidied up those window grilles, and then took Yunyan's hand and said, "Come on, my fourth brother is putting up couplets for the Spring Festival, let's put up all these as well."

"Okay." Yun Yan nodded, she cherishes the only person in this family who is willing to be close to her.

After getting some paste from Li Hua, Tian Ningying handed over the task of pasting the windows to Yun Yan, and went upstairs with the paste specially prepared for Li Man.

"Sister-in-law Man'er." Before entering the door, Tian Ningying shouted happily.

In the room, Li Man, who was playing happily with the children, smiled when she heard the sound. This cousin is carefree, warm and simple, and she likes it very much.

"Come in." She turned her head and called out.

Tian Ningying pushed the door open a little, poked half of her head inward with a smile, as if she was afraid of seeing something inappropriate for children. In other words, during the period when Li Man was pregnant, she was by Li Man's side whenever she had nothing to do. There were so many times when those eye-catching scenes caused her to become nervous, and she would immediately close her eyes whenever there was a sign of trouble.

However, seeing Li Yan, Xiao Wu and the two children in the room, Tian Ningying was relieved, and then opened the door and came in, handing over the gift she carefully prepared, "Sister-in-law, look, isn't it beautiful?"

She took a lot of time to cut out the window grilles according to Li Man's appearance, and unfolded them for Li Man to see like a treasure.

"This is? So beautiful." Li Man recognized at a glance that this person was too much like herself, and couldn't help admiring, "Ying'er, your hands are even more skillful."

"Hey, I think so too. Even my mother can't compare to me. Otherwise, she used to cut it herself, but this time it's all mine." Tian Ningying said triumphantly.

"Bring me to have a look." Looking at the paper-cut, Li Yan also felt that it was very vivid, so he couldn't help but took one from Tian Ningying's hand, and gently pinched the beauty's slightly pouty lips with his plump fingertips.

The past scene immediately appeared in Li Yan's mind.

It was a spring morning, and Li Man was sitting alone by the window combing her hair. The black and smooth hair, like the finest satin, poured down from her shoulders, covering her beautiful face, but that For a moment, Li Yan felt that she was extremely beautiful.

He couldn't help getting up from the bed, walked behind her, and held her waterfall-like hair with both hands. The delicate touch made him very fascinated.

Li Man turned her head, gave him a coquettish smile, pulled her hair back from his palm, and combed it in an orderly manner by herself.

His heart became even more angry when he saw it, so he walked around to her and teased her.

Annoyed, she pouted and hit him with a comb.

In this scene, Tian Ningying, who just broke in, saw her rightly. This little girl was also very stupid, and she didn't know how to avoid it when she saw it. The similar eyes are even more sparkling and frightening.

Embarrassed by being looked at, Li Man immediately pushed him away, making him very depressed. For this, she even annoyed the little girl, making her hide from him for a long time afterwards.

However, seeing this pair of paper-cuts today brought back the softest memories in Li Yan's heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little better about this little girl, and it didn't seem so obtrusive anymore.

"Second brother, okay, isn't it good?" Tian Ningying looked at Li Yan flatteringly.

It's strange to say that among the four elder brothers of the Li family, she is only afraid of Li Yan, and for some reason, the second elder brother seems to be the most temperamental among the four elder brothers. He always smiles, unlike the eldest brother, who is always sullen and not talkative, and not like the third brother, who can throw his fist if he doesn't answer a few words. As for the fourth brother, he is a scholar, not like her one of a kind.

However, she is not afraid of the eldest brother who doesn't like to talk, the third brother who likes to fight, or the fourth brother who is a scholar.

I'm afraid that the second brother with a smile on his face, every time he looks at him with eyes that seem to be smiling but not a smile, his heart will suddenly shrink, and he is thinking in his mind, is something offending the second brother again?

"Well, it's okay." Li Yan greedily caressed the cheek of the woman in the paper-cut painting with his finger, without raising his head, he replied softly.

"Oh." Tian Ningying caught sight of the smile on the corner of his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Wu held the other one, looked at it for a long time, and finally realized that it was very similar to his wife, and couldn't help comparing it with Li Man, then asked Tian Ningying strangely, "Is this cut according to her image? "

"Yes." Tian Ningying nodded, raised her face, and looked at him proudly, "How is it? I'm very good."

Xiao Wu bent his lips and smiled, "It's really good."

He put down the paper-cut, only to find that Li Yan's hand was still caressing the paper, as if he couldn't put it down, his hair was covered with black lines.

"Second brother, if you keep kneading, the paper will be broken."

Hearing this, Li Man glanced at Li Yan, and blushed. It was just her paper-cutting, and she could be addicted to it? really...

She couldn't help but kicked him on the foot, and signaled with her eyes, pay attention to the influence, there are Xiaowu and Yinger, half-grown boys and girls here.

Li Yan smiled slightly, "It's a little wrinkled, I just smooth it out."

"Is it wrinkled?" Tian Ningying felt distressed when she heard the words, and hurriedly wanted to take a look.

But Li Yan raised his arm to block her away, "This

It's wrinkled, so it's not easy to paste it, so you can paste other ones. "

With that said, he took this paper-cut and went straight out the door.

Li Man felt cold, and Xiao Wu rolled his eyes secretly. Did the second brother go too far, and wanted to keep his daughter-in-law's paper-cuts privately?

However, when talking about private possession, Xiao Wu looked at the paper-cuts on the table, and suddenly wanted to keep one for himself.

Once this window grille is pasted on the window, it will soon fade and become old due to the wind and sun.

Thinking about it, he simply took one, and said to Tian Ningying, "I saw this one just now, and it seemed to be stained with dust, so I took it away, and you can post the rest."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Wu went out as if nothing had happened.

Tian Ningying was left with a dazed look, "What's the matter? I obviously put it in a box for good preservation, and when I brought it up, I checked it again. There is no wrinkle or dirt."

Regarding the actions of the two brothers, Li Man was helpless and speechless, she just smiled and comforted Tian Ningying, "It's okay, there's still more to come."

"But there are only two." The paper-cutting of portraits is more difficult, especially Li Man's demeanor. She tried many times in advance, and finally she has the current results. She managed to save four, but it was ruined all at once. She bought two, and she felt distressed.

Li Man comforted, "Two sheets are enough, just right, I only have two windows here, just stick one on the front and back."

"One sheet is too few, usually a pair of windows should be pasted." Tian Ningying said with a bitter face, thinking whether to go to them and get them back.

Li Man didn't take it seriously, "It's a pair, one for the front window and one for the back window, they echo each other from a distance, they are exactly a pair."

"Puchi." Tian Ningying was amused by her words, and her mood became clear in an instant, "Okay, then I will follow my sister-in-law. I will post it now."

Just do it, Xiao Nizi first wiped the front and rear windows with a rag, and then carefully pasted them.

Li Man looked at the red grilles on the wooden windows, feeling very festive, and suddenly felt that the New Year was full.

After posting, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law sat by the bed, watching the children play and chatting about the daily life.

It was mainly Tian Ningying who was talking, this girl has always talked a lot, in the shop in the town, except for her father is her elder brother, and those two men are boring gourds, making her suffocated to death, so, as soon as I come back today, I will get busy Yes, chattering non-stop.

However, Li Man has never been free.

At this moment, seizing the opportunity, Tian Ningying spoke vigorously.

Let me talk about the sound in the shop first, saying that it is much better than the previous few years. Although the money and house at home were cheated by Zhao Yun'er's family, but her father said, how many times will you work hard like this? In the next year, he will surely be able to redeem his belongings.

Just one thing, my elder brother was getting older, and because of this incident at home, the marriage was delayed. For this reason, Tian Ning'an was even more silent than before.

When Tian Ningying said this, she also sighed deeply.

Li Man asked, "I remember my sister-in-law mentioned to me that your elder brother has a nice girl, how is it now?"

She thought, if it doesn't work, she should borrow some money first, and tell Tian Ning'an about the marriage first, and talk about the rest later, after all, he is not young, I don't know if he is as old as Li Yan or Li Shu .

Tian Ningying curled her lips, with a disdainful and angry look on her face, "When it comes to this, I get angry. I thought I was a good one at first, but who knows, when that dead girl of the Xu family saw our house I was confiscated, all the money was stolen, and I even disappeared. My brother came to her several times later, but she ignored her and returned a silver hairpin that my brother gave her before. Said that they would never see each other again. Pooh, I hate the poor and love the rich, so I thought who didn’t know that her uncle’s family found a good family for her, and she wanted to marry into a rich family and live a good life.”

Li Man sighed when he heard this.

No matter what age it is, love cannot escape the reality. Love without a material basis will eventually appear so pale and powerless.
