Chapter 51 Supreme Etiquette

   "Of course I like it!" Shen Man pulled the corner of the clothes and said, "If it wasn't for the fabric I bought with Gu Chen that day, I would have thought it was a ready-made dress."

  This craftsmanship is really good, what should I say.

   "You child, you can really talk." Li Jinhua smiled, and was happy to see her say that.

  Whether it is true or not, everyone loves to hear good things.

  Everyone is happy, it really means Chinese New Year.

  The large population of the Gu family is very lively, and everyone eats happily.

  After lunch, everyone gathered to play poker. Shen Man didn't know how to play, so Gu Chen instructed her how to play.

   "Second brother! Why are you like this?" Gu Nan frowned while holding the poker.

  She was with Li Jinhua, and Shen Man was with Li Mei. Under Gu Chen's command, the cards played very smoothly.

  Hearing this, Gu Chen curled his lips, "What? Do you want to play?"

  Cut, is it wrong to teach your future daughter-in-law to play cards? It would be embarrassing if you lose.

  Gu Nan glared at him and said, "Okay! Just bully me!"

   After finishing speaking, she went to Gu Dacheng for help, but unfortunately Gu Dacheng was too lazy to talk to her, so he put on a cotton hat and went out for a walk.

  In the end, Shen Man won all the fights. Although he won every round, it was fun, after all, he had never played before.

  Everyone will have New Year’s Eve dinner after eight o’clock in the evening. It’s a long night, and there are no TV series and mobile entertainment. Who would stay up until midnight?

  Li Jinhua stewed the chicken brought by Shen Man, and it was very fragrant with hazel mushrooms.

  The Northeast is vast and rich in resources, and the black soil is very rich in materials. The wild vegetables in spring can be dried, and the mushrooms in autumn can also be dried, and they can be eaten in winter.

  Soak the dried fungus for a while, then blanch in hot water to stir-fry, or mix with cold dishes, it is delicious.

   Shen Man had a very happy day today. After getting to know the Gu family during this period, she never felt lonely again.

  It was already nine o'clock in the evening after dinner, Li Jinhua said: "Xiaoman, let's stay at home today, you didn't have a fire there. I changed all the bedding in Nannan's room, and you two live in the same room."

  When Shen Man came over at noon, she had prepared everything, and now there is nothing to prepare.

  After hearing this, how could Shen Man refuse? What's more, she can sleep in the space when she goes back, but others think she is sleeping on the cold kang.

   "Okay then, I'll trouble you." She nodded in response.

   "What's the trouble? You're just being polite." Li Jinhua felt helpless.

  In her opinion, Shen Man is indeed polite, no matter it is normal or what, it is polite to bring gifts to the door.

  When does my family care about these things? They don't care what you come and go.

  Shen Man followed Gu Nan to the hut to live in, and Gu Chen and Gu Dacheng slept on the same kang.

  No one usually comes to Gu Chen to sleep in this room by himself, Gu Nan and Gu Dacheng live together. If Gu Chen is at work, this house will be for Gu Nan to live in.

  Seeing that the house is clean and the bedding has just been changed, I really put my heart into it.

   "Get on the kang soon, it's always hot." Gu Nan got on the kang and began to lie down on the bed, throwing all the clothes under the mattress under her feet, so that the clothes will be warm when she wakes up tomorrow.

   Seeing this, Shen Man climbed onto the kang and put her clothes under the mattress. She was not used to feeling the scorching heat in the bed.

   "Shall we change places? It's too hot here." On her side is the kang, and the place where the fire is connected is the hottest.

  Hearing the words, Gu Nan shook his head, "No one would let you sleep on the top of the kang, go to sleep, it won't be hot in the middle of the night."

  In the middle of the night...

  Shen Man knows that the highest hospitality etiquette in Northeast China is to sleep on the kang, but she doesn't like it.

   This night she did not fall asleep until the middle of the night, because the kang was too hot.

  Woke up the next morning, Shen Man sat listlessly on the kang.

   "Sister Man is getting up and getting dressed for dinner." Gu Nan called her while getting dressed.

   Shen Man nodded, and took out the cotton jacket and trousers from under the quilt. It was really nice to put on the warm ones.

  The two packed up and folded the quilt, and went out to wash.

  Li Jinhua got up very early, afraid that they would be cold, so she heated up the kang first.

   Poor Shen Man also woke up hot in the morning, otherwise he could sleep for a while.

   "Is it cold at night?" Li Jinhua asked with a smile: "I don't know if you usually sleep cold or not. I had a little more fever last night."

  Hearing the words, Shen Man smiled wryly: "Auntie, the kang is too hot."

  No matter how much she didn't say, if you choose all these, isn't it because you don't know what to do?

  People’s firewood is not blown by the strong wind, they are all picked up from the mountains.

  Seeing what she said, Li Jinhua laughed, "It's okay to be hot! It's fine if it's not cold. Go wash your face and eat."

  When Shen Man went to wash her face, Gu Nan specially poured water for her again, and after washing her face warmly, she felt refreshed.

   "This is a new towel. My second brother bought it before the Chinese New Year. Everyone is useless." Gu Nan was very kind to her, and brought things for her with a smile on his face.

  If it weren't for Shen Man knowing her secret, no one would know, or she would have thought that it was premeditated whether the Gu family treated her so well.

  Breakfast is the leftovers from last night, a big fish and meat breakfast...

   Li Jinhua got up early and made dumplings with Li Mei. This year is really good.

   Fortunately, Shen Man is not hypocritical, she doesn't care about things like porridge for breakfast.

  Someone cooks for her, she can eat anything.

   Dumplings are stuffed with vermicelli and cabbage. After taking a bite, Shen Man was amazed. When he looked carefully, there was still a little shrimp skin inside.

   "Isn't it delicious?" Li Jinhua saw her staring at half of the dumpling, thinking she didn't like it.

   Shen Man shook his head, "This stuffing is delicious, it's the first time I've eaten it."

   I have never eaten such dumplings before. They taste very delicious, probably because of the shrimp skins.

   (If you haven’t tried it, you can try it. The vermicelli is soaked and stuffed, and the buns are more delicious.)

   Seeing that she really liked it, Li Jinhua was relieved.

   Li Mei on the side was also happy to see that Shen Man was adapting well to the family situation. In this way, it will be easier for the uncle and the others to get married, and their ideal of separating the family will be further advanced!

   After breakfast and cleaning up, Shen Man bid farewell.

   It's not that big of a deal to bother people for so long and stay here all the time. She and Gu Chen are not married yet, and the Gu family members are too warm, she can't let go.

   "What are you doing when you go back? Stay here and play poker later." Gu Nan was still a little bit reluctant.

  I used to think that Shen Man was jumping into the fire pit when he married his second brother, but now he finds that it is good that the relationship between the two is closer.

   Before Shen Man could speak, Li Jinhua said: "You can calm down, Xiao Man, come and play if you have nothing to do. Our house is full of people."

   Shen Man nodded, and before leaving, Li Jinhua gave her another red envelope, but she couldn't refuse, so she forced it.

   It made her feel very complicated...

  Maybe it’s because so many people suddenly care about it, so I’m not used to it, right?

  Gu Chen took the initiative to send her to the collective household, and helped to heat the kang, and heated the hot water, and worked hard.

   Ask for a ticket, ask for a ticket, ask for a ticket~
