Chapter 130: News
He just said such intimate words in front of outsiders, which made Li Man, who was still the new daughter-in-law, blushed with embarrassment, and hurriedly said, "The clothes were all put in the cabinet just now." ”
"That's wrong, you took the third brother's." After Li Shu wiped the water droplets from his hair, the dry cloth was casually placed on his shoulders.
Is this a reminder to others that she doesn't know about her relationship with the man in this family?
Li Man's face turned red, and he couldn't even speak, "Then, I, I'll get it for you again." "My head was buzzing, and I forgot that I could let him go back to the house and get it by himself.
She blushed, lowered her head, and walked stupidly into the house.
Da Yongniang is also a person who has come over, looking at her appearance, she smiled unconsciously, and said, "Girl, then you are busy, and the eldest lady will come to see you another day." ”
"Auntie." Li Man turned around, a little embarrassed, he was a little at a loss by Li Yan's words, especially in front of outsiders.
"You're busy." Da Yong's mother hurriedly grabbed Da Yong's hand and took her three children out to hurricane.
She also knew that her daughter-in-law had only come home today, and the men who had been holding back for half a month should be like wolves and tigers one by one, look, Li Yan took a bath
Looking at Da Yongniang, they left in a hurry, and Li Man was stunned for a while.
"Girl, where's my clothes?" Li Yan had already walked towards her at this time.
"Oh, I'll get it." Li Man hurriedly turned around and went to the East House and rummaged in the cabinet for a while.
However, the clothes of their brothers, except for Xiao Wu's, are almost the same, who knows which one belongs to whom.
"Second brother." Li Shu looked at Li Yan's dragging appearance and smiled, "I'm afraid that people won't know that she is your daughter-in-law, and she is still looking for clothes?" Don't we usually wear our brothers' clothes casually? The dirty clothes you just changed out of are not the big brother's. ”
Li Man was still rummaging through the cabinets, and when she heard this, she was stunned, yes, how could she forget, how could their brothers' clothes be so clear? Didn't you just take it and wear it? The figures are also similar, that is, Li Mo is more robust and Li Shu is taller, but basically not much worse
After closing the closet, she walked out angrily and glared at Li Yan.
Li Yan blinked and chuckled, "Where's the clothes?" ”
Dare to ask, "Isn't that what I got for you just now?" "You can wear it anyway.
"The third one's one is too gray, I want that azure one." Li Yan said.
Li Man glared at him, "You know how to find it yourself." "Hurt her to be embarrassed in front of outsiders, don't think she didn't see it, Da Yongniang's eyes with deep meaning when she left, and the two girls, blushing like monkey butts, and pursed their lips and snickered, I was afraid that they thought they were about to do something in a hurry, so they ran away in a hurry.
"Oh." Li Yan smiled lightly, really bypassed her, walked into the house, and found clothes to put on.
The other people looked at Li Manhong's fluttering little face, and they all smiled gently.
"Man'er, then I'll wash it." Li Mo said at this time.
Originally, he didn't intend to say hello, but after Li Yan's incident, his words were undoubtedly more ambiguous.
Li Man'er had a fever, so he nodded helplessly, and then, as soon as he turned around, he hurried back to the house.
"The daughter-in-law has arrived." Li Shu glanced at Li Mo lightly, "Big brother, can't you speak tactfully?" ”
Li Mo was very innocent, he didn't say anything, just said to take a bath
"I washed it." The more he talked, the worse it became, Li Mo blackened his face, dropped a sentence, and went to the kitchen.
"Well, go ahead." Li Shudao.
Li Yan changed into clean clothes, stretched out his arms, and felt very comfortable, and then, looking at the closed door of the West House, his eyes deepened, "Third brother and fourth brother, don't you still have to work in the field?" ”
"It's good to do it early." Li Shu said, "In the past few days, my fourth brother and I have been soaked in the field, not only loosening the soil and watering, but also planting some vegetable seedlings in the cracks of the cornfield. ”
"Oh, what a hard work for you two." Li Yan said, turned around and went back to the house, "Okay, I'm tired too, let's rest first." ”
"Oh." Li Shu glanced at Li Hua, "Fourth brother, you can also go back to the house, these days you have been taking care of going down with me, and you haven't read the book." ”
Li Hua smiled shyly, if it weren't for the tiredness of working in the field, he wouldn't know how to live these days, it's okay during the day, but at night
Since he came back that day, he lay on the kang at night, listening to the wind outside the window, and after a long night like that, he grew so big, it was the first time he felt that the night was so long?
——
Back in the West House, Li Man was lying on the kang, feeling that his body was still a little hot, so he pushed open the small window to let the breeze blow into the house.
But after a while, the sound of water from time to time next door made her warm up again.
Li Mo was taking a bath, and she knew it.
This made her a little dazed, but fortunately, after a while, there was no movement next door, followed by the sound of the kitchen door opening.
After he washed it, Li Man got up and got off the kang.
When they came back today, they smelled all over their bodies, and their clothes were dirty, and she thought she might as well wash them and dry them.
When she went out, she saw Li Mo taking the bath bucket out of the tank to pour water, so she went straight to the kitchen, stacked all the dirty clothes on the floor, and put them in the laundry basket.
"I'll do it." Li Mo leaned the bath bucket under the corner of the room and was busy.
Li Man looked at him, his face was full of exhaustion, and he was very distressed, "You go back to the house and rest, just a few clothes, it'll be fine for a while." ”
Li Mo was uncomfortable, he still reached out and took the basket, those clothes had not been washed for more than ten days, they were all dirty and smelly, he knew that she loved to be clean, and said busily, "I'll just rub it." ”
He moved very quickly, and carried the basket to the side of the well.
Li Man couldn't, so he had to take the laundry basin from the kitchen and hurriedly walked to the well.
Li Mo pressed the water, Li Man naturally squatted down, divided the clothes, washed the tops first, and put the pants or something, and put them at the back of the most.
"Man'er." Li Mo pressed the water, squatted down, picked up his clothes and rubbed them.
Looking at his big palms, but clumsily rubbing his clothes, Li Man smiled softly, pulled the clothes in his hand, and pressed them to the bottom of the basin, "Okay, if you really don't want to rest, stay and help me fetch water." ”
"Hmm." After Li Mo's practice, he also felt that Li Man was more suitable for doing this than himself, looking at her small hands rubbing her clothes, from the collar, to the placket, to the cuffs, every place was scrubbed meticulously and cleanly, and it was a pleasure to watch.
"Man'er." Li Mo squatted on the side, looked at her gently, and from time to time reached out to help her brush the hair that had slipped down and blocked her vision.
"How?" Li Man asked casually while washing.
Li Mo smiled innocently, "It's okay." In fact, I just want to stay by her side, I want to see her more, and talk to her more, but he is stupid and doesn't know what to tell her? Missed her? I want to think very much, so he is rotten in his stomach and can't say it.
"Huh?" Li Man raised his head, looked at him suspiciously, met his warm eyes, and immediately smiled, "Aren't you tired of staying in the mountains for such a long time?" I finally went home, why don't you go back to the kang and lie down? ”
"There's time to lie down at night." When Li Mo said this, his eyes were very bright.
Today is the fifth day of the month, and tonight should be the first night he rests in her room.
Li Man completely forgot about this stubble, but now that the night is short, he sleeps too much during the day, and he can't sleep at night, so he gave up, and after washing his shirt, she asked him to pour the dirty water and press some water again.
The two of them were in the yard with a tacit understanding, and quickly washed and dried their clothes.
Li Man put the empty basket and laundry basin on the stone in the yard to dry, turned around, and wanted to go back to his house and rest, but Li Mo followed behind him silently.
When he turned around to close the door, he found that he had followed up, and Li Man was stunned, "You're not going back to the house?" ”
Li Mo was also stunned, "I, I see if you have any other work." ”
"No, let's go back to the house and rest." Li Man smiled and pushed him out, then closed the door.
Li Mo was stunned at the door, stretched out his hand and wanted to knock on the door, but after thinking about it, he felt funny, he was like a clingy child just now, sticking behind her all the time?
Well, there's still one night to spare.
Li Mo turned around and returned to the east room, Li Yan was lying on the kang, as if he was asleep, Li Hua leaned against the window, looking at the book, and Li Shu sat cross-legged on the kang, taking Xiao Wu's sand table, and writing there.
He also felt a little tired, so he took off his shoes, lay down on the kang, and squinted his eyes.
——
From the front window, seeing that there was no one at the door, Li Man gently opened the door again, and walked around from the kitchen to the toilet in the backyard.
After solving the problem, as soon as I went to the front yard to wash my hands, I saw two middle-aged women in their forties looking at the door.
She couldn't help but wonder, so she took a closer look.
The two women also saw her, their eyes lit up at first, and then they asked very modestly, "Little girl, dare to ask if there is a family surnamed Li here?" ”
"Lee?" Li Man walked towards them, with a little vigilance in his eyes? "What are you looking for someone surnamed Li to do? There are several families in this village with the surname Li. ”
When she came over, the eyes of the two women brightened, and they unconsciously looked her up and down carefully, "Little girl, are you called Li Man?" ”
Yes? Li Man was taken aback, in addition to the Li family and the people of this village, there are still people who know her?
"Who are you?" She was a little uneasy.
"Little girl, don't be afraid." One of the women hurriedly said, "It was my old lady who sent us." ”
"Old lady?" Li Man was puzzled, she didn't know any old lady.
At this time, hearing the sound of talking outside, Li Shu and Li Hua came out, and saw Li Man standing at the gate of the courtyard talking to the two women, and they were all busy.
In these years, there are many abductors, especially women and children, their daughters-in-law are very simple-minded and kind, don't be coaxed away by a few words.
"Daughter-in-law."
"Man'er."
Two people came over and hurriedly protected Li Man in the middle.
"What do you guys do?" Li Shu's tone was a little unkind.
The two women saw Li Shu and Li Hua, looked at each other and smiled, "It seems that this girl is right." ”
So, instead of answering Li Shu's question, the two women said to Li Man kindly, "Girl, do you remember that about a month ago, you sold wild garlic in the town market?" ”
"Yay?" Li Man was taken aback, "You guys? ”
"Huh." One of the women laughed, "Remember a charity-looking old lady who bought garlic from you, and later brought someone to buy it?" ”
"Oh." Li Man remembered it and said with a smile, "It's that grandma." ”
"That's right, that's our old lady."
"You old ladies?" Listening to this tone, the old grandmother's house is very good, at least these two women should be their maids?
Knowing the details of the Taoist family, Li Mansong was much faster, so he asked with a smile, "Is that grandma okay?" She asked you to come to me? ”
"Hmm." The two women nodded, glancing in, obviously wanting to enter the room and talk in detail.
Li Man hesitated to glance at Li Shu and Li Hua.
Li Shu didn't say anything, Li Hua nodded, "If you two have anything to say, let's go into the room and say." "Anyway, with them, I'm not afraid that others will kidnap my daughter-in-law.
——
The Li family has a total of three huts with a kitchen, and the two men in the east room are asleep, the kitchen is too small and crowded, and after the worst, Li Man has to take the two women to his own house, but fortunately, the house is still neat and clean.
asked Li Shu to move two more stools, and a few people sat down next to the door.
The two women were also very happy, and as soon as they sat down, they told the purpose of the trip.
It turns out that this is how it happened.
More than a month ago, the old lady met Li Man in the vegetable market, and was shocked on the spot, feeling that it was very suitable for her eyes, so she thought of her grandson, but Li Man was already married to a wife, and after returning home, the old lady still couldn't let go of this little girl, so she discussed with the people at home, and there was a lack of intimate and reliable people around her, just like recognizing Li Man and raising her as a little granddaughter, as for her men, they didn't look good at dressing at the time, patches and patches, and they could come out to sell garlic, The family background is definitely not good, so I want to ask the family to find a job in the shop or somewhere else, which is better than selling garlic.
After all, the old lady is so old, and the only grandson who is raised under her knees has also grown up, and she is panicked, and she wants to find a little girl to amuse and talk to her.
However, when the old lady sent someone to look for it again, Li Man and the others had not gone to the market anymore.
The old lady also sent someone to inquire about the goddess ditch, but the goddess ditch is big, at the foot of that continuous mountain, there are dozens of small villages, and most of them are co-wives, and it is still a little difficult to find Li Man's family alone.
For this reason, the old lady was sad for a while, saying that she fell in love with Li Man, and it hurt to see it, why did it suddenly disappear? Doesn't she still have wild garlic to sell at home?
For several days in a row, they sent people to the market to guard it, and sent people to inquire about the goddess ditch.
Later, I learned that Li Man and Li Shu were bullied by the famous young master in the town.
The old lady was very angry, but this kind of thing, she can't administer justice as an old man, she is only worried that Li Man, the child, has been wronged, but fortunately, yesterday, I finally knew that the villain was punished.
Speaking of this, Li Man was also curious, "What's wrong with that villain?" ”
The woman laughed, "Who knows what to do, but it's really panicked to say this, you say, this person is really bad to the bones, and he hooked up with his own little wife, and was caught red-handed, stripped naked and hung on the city gate building, his old man knew the way, and took someone to carry it back overnight, it is said that it was a good beating, this time, not to mention a year, half a year can not get out of bed is certain, and I heard that he thinks he is not promising, and is planning to throw him into the barracks. ”
"Hmph, it's just that kind of goods, it's not a death when you get to the barracks." The other woman said with disdain.
"And this?" Li Man's eyes widened in surprise as if he was listening to a story.
"Yes, we also think it's strange, dare to love the wicked and eventually have evil retribution, blame that the villain is too unhumane, even his own stepmother dares to go to hehe, it is said that his son only married two months ago, and he was still on Xingxing's head, so he stole it. Besides, he's a concubine again, and he usually causes trouble outside, so now"
"It must be a big house that can't accommodate him, make up a way to send him away, hehe, he also deserves it."
The two women chatted very hotly, and Li Man also felt refreshed, bad people have evil punishments, and this God is still fair.
However, the old lady had sent them here to inform herself of this?
Thinking about it, Li Man smiled, "I'm tired of the two of you, so I came to tell me this happy news." ”
"Oh, no." The two women hurriedly waved their hands, "Look at the two of us, we have forgotten the business of talking about the excitement here." Actually, it's the same as before, the old lady wants to take you to live in the town. ”
It's not related, isn't it? Li Man hurriedly excused himself, "Thank you old lady for your kindness, but I'm used to living here, and besides, this is my home." "And her men.
"It's not you who go alone, your whole family goes, the old lady has already vacated the house for you, and arranged work for them, and if they don't want to, the old lady can also help you pay for a shop, and you can also do small business." The two women kindly persuaded her.
"So good?" Li Shu listened to it, a little funny, it seems that his daughter-in-law's charm is really not small, from a little broken child like Xiao Wu to an old lady, they all like her so much.
The two women hurriedly smiled, "Yes, our old lady is the kindest person, by the way, your fourth master also reads, right?" It just so happens that our young master Sun is also studying, and there is a special master at home, so you four masters can learn together. ”
"It doesn't have to be." Li Hua felt that this matter was too unreliable, not to mention, they had their own homes, and there was no need to seek refuge in others.
The two women choked.
Li Man said euphemistically, "Two aunts, please go back and tell the old lady, just say that I received her kindness, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely make a special trip to visit the house, as for the rest, forget it." ”
Although the Li family is poor, with her with them, there is bitterness and sweetness.
But if you take your family and go to the fence, no matter how good your life is, you will not be comfortable.
Li Man understands this, "Really, auntie, you have worked hard all the way, let me pour you a glass of water." There are still a lot of roads from the town, and it is hard to climb the mountains and mountains, so after drinking the water, you will go on the road, right? It's not safe to get late. ”
Is this going to drive people out? The two women obviously didn't expect this to be the case?
"Oh, girl, our old lady is all kind-hearted, and others can't think of it. You don't need to spend a penny, the house is paved and everything is bought for you, and the old lady also likes you, afraid that you will live a hard life."
"Not really." Li Man poured a bowl of boiling water for each of them, and said with a smile, "House, I also have a field, we also bought it a few months ago, by the way, my family also has pigs and chickens, you go back and thank the old lady for me." ”
"This-" The two women looked bitter, they thought that a good thing would be very easy to do, and they could sell their favors in front of the old lady when they went back, but who knew that Li Man was a fool, and he didn't want such a good chance to climb a high branch.
After putting down the bowl, they politely said that they were disturbed, and then went on the road.
After the two people left, Li Hua took her hand and looked at her with a warm gaze, "In the future, we will definitely let you live in a big house, so that you can have no worries about food and clothing." ”
"I'm fine right now." Li Man smiled sincerely.
No matter how big the house is, what is the use of not being able to live in it with someone who treats her sincerely?
In modern times, she lives in a two-story villa, but she has nothing but loneliness and loneliness.
It's better to be now, three thatched houses, five men who treat her sincerely, a family under the same roof, sharing the ups and downs together.
In this way, she is satisfied, really.
