Fortunate Wife

Li Man picked up a branch while asking, and wrote a line on the sand beside it, "My name is Li Man, what's your name?"

Li Xiaowu's big black eyes were full of admiration, "Sister can write?"

"Do you recognize it?" Li Man handed him the branch, then pointed to the writing on the ground, asking him to write too.

Li Xiaowu understood what she meant, but he couldn't read or write. Only the fourth brother in the family was the best and read the most books. The other three brothers were not much better than him. The eldest brother and the third brother were the most I can write my own name, my second brother is better, and I can keep an account.

"No?" Seeing his bitter face, Li Man let out a long sigh.

Li Xiaowu was a little depressed immediately, did my sister dislike him for being illiterate? My sister must have disliked him, will she run away again? He took Li Man's hand carefully, and grinned flatteringly at her. He was very confident in his smile. Every time, as long as he showed this smile, even if he did something bad, his brothers would forgive him. .

Sure enough, Li Man saw what the little guy was thinking, touched his little head, and encouraged, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to read, I will teach you later."

Li Xiaowu didn't understand, but seeing the pretty sister smiled, he knew he had succeeded. However, it's best to let the elder sister like him. The second brother said that if the elder sister wants to stay, she must like this place.

"Sister, eat." He took Li Man's hand and walked to the front yard.

Li Man didn't know what he was going to do, so she had to follow him, and was dragged all the way to the stove by the kid. Then, the little guy tiptoed and brought out a bowl of porridge and two steamed sweet potatoes from the pot.

"Sister, here it is." He seemed to give all the treasures to Li Man.

The porridge was warm, and the sweet potatoes were cold, apparently it had been left for a while, "Thank you." Li Man thanked her habitually, and Li Xiaowu watched her eat from the side. It sounds good, even the food is so beautiful.

Seeing that he was looking at her, Li Man gave him a sweet potato, but the little guy waved his hand, "I've eaten it."

Seeing him so thin, Li Man felt sorry for him, so she forced a sweet potato into his hand and ate one by herself.

After breakfast, she cleaned the pots and bowls with her hands.

Li Xiaowu wanted to rush to do it, but she refused. If she didn't eat, she even asked other children to wash the dishes.

After washing the pots and bowls, Li Man thought of Westinghouse's tattered clothes. Although they were torn, they could still be worn after washing and mending. Found one without the patch.

Li Man took out all the clothes she had changed in the house, and then thought about what she saw last night. This family seems to be all men, and there is no woman. The clothes must be washed by hand. Bar.

"Do you have any dirty clothes? Bring them all." Li Man didn't dare to enter the room without authorization, so she let Li Xiaowu go.

But Li Xiaowu couldn't understand what she said, so she had no choice but to drag Li Xiaowu into the east room together.

The east room is bigger, apparently also used as the main room. There is a table and four benches in the middle, and a big kang inside, which is really big and can sleep at least four or five people.

As soon as I entered the room, there was a peculiar smell.

A few pairs of straw sandals were scattered on the ground, and two thin quilts were piled up on the kang. When Li Man stepped forward to lift the quilt, she found that some dirty clothes were crumpled in the quilt.
