Chapter Ninety-Five: Trouble

Li Mo glanced at Li Yan, "Second brother, don't say that, Man'er will teach." ”

Man'er? Li Yan was stunned, "When did the eldest brother become so intimate with that girl?" ”

"No nonsense." Li Mo was embarrassed and looked at Li Man in a panic, she was thin-skinned, afraid that she would not be able to hold back her second brother from making fun like this.

Li Man deliberately wanted to be angry with Li Yan, "Big brother, it's okay." She only took Li Yan's words as a deaf ear.

Is it so gentle and considerate to the eldest brother? Li Yan's eyes were really a little colder, and he looked at Li Man coldly, "Man'er, it's really much better than a girl." Niche"

Li Man doesn't look at him, why does he like to say cool things with him, with Li Mo here, how dare he not do it?

"Second brother." Sure enough, Li Mo's face sank, and he was a little unhappy with Li Yan's yin and yang weirdness, "You don't usually talk like this." ”

If that girl could treat herself like a big brother, he would naturally not be like this, "Heh, big brother, you know that I am stupid and can't speak, or, Master Man'er, you will teach me more?" Mound"

Li Man ignored him and took a branch to write and draw in the sand table.

Li Mo looked at Li Yan helplessly, if the second brother is stupid, no one else in this family can speak.

"Big brother, what are you doing with me?" Li Yan was still pretending to be confused, and looked at Li Man again, seeing that she was concentrating on painting something in the sand table, she looked down curiously, and it just so happened that she had just put away the branches, and a lewd pig's head was printed on the sand table, and the word 'Li Yan' was written by name on the side.

Tengdi, Li Yan's handsome face was red, and he was angry.

At this time, Xiao Wu, who had been looking at him for a long time, asked suspiciously, "Sister, is this the second brother?" He saw that those two words were the names of the second brother.

Li Man shrugged his eyebrows, not admitting or denying it.

Li Mo was also busy looking at the sand table, and when he saw the pig's head, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching, and he glanced at Li Yan with some sympathy.

Li Yan smiled coldly at Li Man, gritted his teeth and said, "You would like to?" ”

"Oh." Li Man snorted expressionlessly, "I forgot, the pig forgot to feed it in the morning, no wonder it barked so badly." ”

With that, he threw down the branch and ran away.

Li Yan looked at her back viciously and disappeared at the door, this girl dared to scold him for being a pig's head?

"Second brother." Li Mo couldn't help laughing, pointed to the pig's head in the sand table and said, "Man'er is really powerful, not only can write, but also draw, look at this pig's head painting, compared to the pigsty"

"Big brother." Strange, how can the eldest brother say these words? Li Yan glared at Li Mo, "I still have work to do, so I'll go first." ”

"Oh." Before Li Mo's advice was finished, he was already out of the air, and he hurriedly ordered Xiao Wu, "Come with me and take a look." He was afraid that Li Yan would settle accounts with Li Man.

"You can see it here." Xiao Wu pushed open the small wooden window, looked towards the backyard, and saw Li Man carrying a bucket of swill to the pigsty, bending down and pouring the swill into the pigsty, and then fiddling with his hands in the pigsty a few times, "Don't rob, Xiao Hei, if you dare to grab food, I will lock you up, and wait for Xiaohua to finish eating, and then let you eat the leftovers." ”

Li Moben also wanted to take a look, but listening to Li Man's habitual scolding of the two little pigs, he couldn't help laughing, and the cute picture of her being angry and annoyed next to the pigsty involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Li Yan didn't go to Li Man to settle accounts, he knew that the eldest brother must be staring at him at the window at this time, in fact, he was not really annoyed, but felt that the relationship between the girl and himself had improved, otherwise, she wouldn't have painted him?

It's just that even if it's a pig's head, he should be the most handsome pig's head.

——

After finishing the little pig and chicken, Li Man taught Xiao Wu a poem, and when he went to the house, he read it to his eldest brother, she cleaned up in the yard, it rained two days ago, the ground was muddy, and there was mud everywhere, she had to clean up these things.

I was halfway through the sweep, ready to clean up the garbage out of the yard first, and when I raised my eyes, I happened to see three women entering the yard.

One of them was older, in his forties, wearing ninety percent of the new stone blue clothes and pants, his hair was meticulously combed, his eyes were sharp, and he looked very cool and spicy.

Behind her were two women about twenty years old, a woman in a moon-white shirt, a woman with a white and soft face, a woman in an apricot yellow shirt, a large skeleton, a black face, long hands and long feet, and at a glance she knew that Lu Dao was a very capable peasant woman.

"Who are you looking for?" Li Man threw down the broom and greeted him.

When the three women saw Li Man, they were also slightly stunned, and after that, they all looked at her with different eyes.

"You're the woman Da Lang bought?" The older woman was the first to ask, and after looking at Li Man, she pursed her lips disdainfully, and whispered to the white woman on the side, "I guess this is the case, the goods that are useless." ”

"Big sister." The white woman glanced at the older woman lightly, then walked towards Li Man, then took her hand and asked softly, "Is Xiao Wu at home?" I'm his sister-in-law. This is his aunt. ”

Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law? It's the first time I've heard of it, Li Man hurriedly said, "The eldest brother and the little five are in the house, please come inside." ”

As she spoke, she led the way.

And inside, it seemed that he heard the sound of talking, Xiao Wu had already run out, and when he saw someone coming, he rushed over excitedly, called out to his sister-in-law, but threw himself into his aunt's arms.

The older woman's face suddenly softened a lot, and she smiled while holding Xiao Wu's face, "Oh, auntie, look at it, our Xiao Wu has flesh on his face, and this head seems to have grown too." Vanilla, don't you say? ”

"Yes, it's grown." The white woman also came over, rubbed Xiao Wu's head lovingly, and said with a smile.

Li Man watched from the side, she was still a little nervous because of the arrival of strangers just now, at this moment, seeing the love of these two aunts for Xiao Wu, she was also happy in her heart, and greeted her politely, "Auntie, sister-in-law, sit in the house quickly." ”

"Hmph." The aunt didn't give her a good face and snorted coldly.

Li Man was stunned, what did she say wrong?

The sister-in-law hurriedly came over and grabbed Li Man's hand, "Let's go, let's go into the house, by the way, didn't Da Lang do any work today?" "It's really strange to be at home at this time.

"He's off for the past two days." Li Man replied vaguely.

And Li Mo heard that it was two aunts who were coming, so he happily got off the kang and walked to the door to pick him up, "Auntie, why are you here?" ”

"What's the matter? I can't come. The aunt looked at Li Mo coldly, "I know that several of your brothers are older, and their wings are hard, my aunt, you have already reached the edge of the sky." ”

As soon as Li Mo heard it, he knew that she was angry, and he also knew what Lu Dao was angry about, so he only smiled and said, "How can it, aunt, let's go into the house, you're tired on the road, right?" ”

The aunt didn't look at him, only took Xiao Wu's hand, went into the house first, looked around as soon as she entered the room, frowned and said, "What's the smell of medicine, Da Lang, are you sick?" ”

Li Mo was wearing clothes, and he couldn't see the injury, so he replied, "Well, I accidentally scratched a little skin a few days ago, and it's almost better." ”

Seeing that he was really fine, the eldest aunt was relieved, sat on the kang, and did not forget to count up, "Didn't I say you, Da Lang, as the eldest in the family, you should also think more about your younger brothers." ”

Li Mo stood aside and laughed silently.

The sister-in-law glanced at him and said, "Sister, Da Lang is still sick, what can't he say in the future?" ”

"Later?" The aunt was suddenly annoyed by this sentence, "This daughter-in-law has married into the door, how can she be in the future?" Da Lang, you are not doing this authentically. You say, what's wrong with Lotus Flower? ”

As she spoke, she pointed to the black-faced woman who had followed her.

Li Man only noticed her, and she also looked at Li Man from time to time, her eyes were both jealous and disdainful, and when the aunt pulled her out by name, she raised her head proudly and stared at Li Man with disdain.

The aunt continued, "Don't say that you know the roots, you look thoughtful, and you are diligent and neat in your work, and my aunt is also thinking about you, Dalang, don't you want to think about it, you have a family, five singles, what do you have at home?" This kang is older than you, you say, what are you buying such a woman back for? Don't talk about spending money, look at her appearance, does she look like she can do it? ”

The smile on Li Mo's face gradually froze, he knew that Aunt Lu Dao had a straight temperament, but Man'er was in the house, she pointed at others and said these words, which was a bit excessive, "Auntie, I didn't discuss this matter with you, it's mine." You've worked hard all the way, take a break, and I'll pour you some water. ”

As he spoke, he walked out and called out to Li Man, "Man'er, the boiling water is gone, you can help burn some." ”

"Hmm." Li Man can understand this side now, and he knows that Aunt Lu Dao is targeting herself, so she wants to slip away first after Li Mo.

I don't know, my aunt deliberately wanted to lift the lotus, so she said, "Boil water, what a big deal, lotus, you go." ”

"Whoa." Hearing this, Lotus rushed over with her head held high and passionate, pushed Li Man away, walked to Li Mo's side, and said with a smile, "Da Lang, I'll come." ”

Li Mo frowned, grabbed Li Man's arm, and said to her in a deep voice, "Man'er is fine." ”

"Probably so." The lotus still stared at Li Mo with a smile, saying that he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, he looked better, even if he talked to her with a cold face, it was so exciting.

Li Mo paused, he was extremely disgusted with the woman's eyes, and said directly, "You go back and sit, the kitchen is small, and it can't accommodate too many people." ”

Lotus was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to say that it didn't matter or anything, but the aunt saw Li Mo's displeasure, so she had to say, "Lotus, Da Lang is considerate of you It's been too hard for you to go all the way, so you just come back and sit down and rest, let them be busy." ”

"Hmm." When Lotus heard this, she happily returned to the house.

Li Mo was very helpless and looked at Li Man apologetically.

Li Man didn't think anything, since ancient times, her mother-in-law always loved to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law, Li Mo's parents died, so naturally her aunt would not let her go so easily.

Eh, thinking too much, instinctively, two blushes appeared on her little face, and before Li Mo found out, she hurriedly lowered her head and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.

Li Mo was still annoyed with her, so he hurriedly followed, went to the kitchen, and saw that she really scooped water into the cauldron, so he said, "Don't be busy, the boiling water was only boiled in the morning, and it hasn't been touched yet." ”

Li Man paused in his hand and raised his eyes to look at him, "That-" Is it purely to ask her to come over to boil water to relieve her?

"There are some things I haven't had time to tell you. I can't understand it for a while today. The aunt is actually not bad-eyed, but her mouth is broken, and she loves to nag, what she says, don't take it to heart. Li Mo said, he was a little anxious, obviously afraid that she would really care.

Li Man smiled, "You asked me to come out just to tell me this?" I don't mind. ”

Just don't mind, Li Mo scratched his head innocently, and then smirked, "It's me who is too careful." ”

"And this water, you bring it?" The aunt in the house didn't like her, and she didn't have a part in boring herself.

"Hmm." Seeing that she really didn't care, Li Mo finally put his mind at ease, smiled and poured two bowls of water from the pot and brought them to the east house.

In the east room, the aunt was holding a snack, covering Xiao Wu's words, for example, how much silver did it cost to buy Li Man? What happened to this woman after she arrived at the Li family, did she instigate their brother's discord or anything like that?

Xiao Wu ate snacks, most of the questions just shook his head, said that he didn't know what to do, let her ask the eldest brother, as for the last question, he said, my sister is so good, except for himself, the brothers like her very much.

When Li Mo came in, he happened to hear Xiao Wu praising Li Man, and then, the eldest aunt snorted with disdain, "What I said, it's another fox girl, and it's only been a few days?" hooked the souls of the brothers in this family. ”

"Sister." Vanilla hurriedly glanced at her eldest sister Li Xiangyu.

Li Xiangyu glared at her dissatisfied, "You, you, you know that Lu Dao pretends to be a good person, and he has been a useless person all his life." ”

Li Vanilla blushed and didn't argue again.

Li Mo wanted to pretend not to hear, but then when he saw that his aunt had picked up his sister-in-law, he was a little reluctant to go, so he hurriedly brought water and handed it to her, "Auntie, come, drink some water." ”

Then, another bowl was given to the sister-in-law.

Li Xiangyu looked at Li Mo with a bowl, "What about the lotus?" She shouted that she was thirsty halfway through, why didn't she bring her a bowl of water to drink? ”

"Lotus, give it to you, I'm not thirsty." The sister-in-law hurriedly broke the siege and handed her water to the lotus.

The lotus didn't pick it up, but just grinned stupidly, "Aunt, I'm not thirsty." ”

Li Xiangyu glanced at her fiercely, "Why aren't you thirsty again?" It's not you who call on the road. ”

Lotus was a little aggrieved all of a sudden, but she didn't dare to talk back.

Li Mo stood beside him and didn't say anything.

Li Xiangyu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked Li Mo again, "What about your mother-in-law?" Why did she disappear when I came? I'm a tiger, will I eat her? ”

"Why do you think that?" Li Mo said, "She's preparing lunch in the kitchen, it's almost noon, you should be hungry too." ”

"Really? Preparing lunch? Li Xiangyu took a sip of water, got up, and glanced at the lotus, "Take the things with you, go, and go to the kitchen to have a look." ”

"Auntie, you just came, the work in the kitchen-"

"I'm either going to cook, or I'm bringing two dishes for your mother-in-law to cook." Li Xiangyu interrupted Li Mo's words and walked out with the lotus, Li Mo followed, but was stopped by her, "What are you doing here?" The kitchen is so big, not to mention, a big man in the kitchen, not like words. ”

Li Vanilla tugged at Li Mo's arm and winked at him comfortingly, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

Li Mo had no choice but to give up, and then, when they entered the kitchen, he summoned Xiao Wu and asked him to keep an eye on it.

Xiao Wu is more clever, there is no need for the eldest brother to say such things, he also knows how to do it.

——

After Li Mo delivered the water, Li Man sat on the small stool alone, worrying about his cheeks, there were guests at home, no matter how he said it, he should make a good meal, but it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, there were only a few vegetables in the small vegetable garden, and there was not even a little meat.

"Yo, are you cooking or hiding?" As soon as Li Xiangyu came in, she couldn't help but taunt Li Man.

Li Man got up, looked at the three people who suddenly came in suspiciously, and asked politely, "Auntie, why aren't you resting in the house?" "Didn't you come to the kitchen to look for her?

"Oh, I'm afraid that the family won't have time to prepare, so we brought two more dishes, just right, you can add them at noon." Li Vanilla said with a smile.

"Oh." That's good, she's worried about running out of food.

Who knows, as soon as Li Vanilla finished speaking, Lotus handed the vegetable basket to her, and the cover on it was removed, half of the fat pig's head, and Li Man, who was frightened, screamed and closed his eyes.

"Lotus, you-"

Before Li Vanilla finished his reprimand, Li Mo had already rushed in when he heard the scream, "What's wrong?" ”

"What are you doing in here?" Li Xiangyu looked at Li Mo impatiently, and then counted Li Man, "I thought that your brother likes to eat pig's head meat, so he deliberately got up early in the morning to buy such a point in the market, who would have thought that your mother-in-law would be scared like this?" ”

Li Mo looked at the bloody pig's head coldly, and then looked at Li Man, whose face was pale, and suddenly understood what was going on, walked over, protected Li Man, and said to Li Xiangyu politely but detachedly, "Let my aunt bother, Man'er won't burn pig's head meat, you can let the lotus make it." ”

Lotus was worried that she didn't have a chance to perform, and when she heard him say this, she was happy, "Okay, I'm going to go." ”

Li Xiangyu was still dissatisfied, staring at Li Man, "I can't even cook pig's head meat, so what will you do?" ”

"Sister, if you're not a chef in a restaurant, who has to be able to do this? I won't either. Li Vanilla said.

Li Xiangyu glared at her sister and cursed secretly, "It's all about eating inside and out, and raising you so big for nothing." ”

After speaking, I went to guide the lotus.

Li Vanilla looked at Li Man apologetically, "It makes you laugh." ”

Li Man shook his head, "It's okay, I'll pick some vegetables." It's not enough to just eat pork head, meat and vegetables must be matched. Although her voice was not very loud, it was enough for Li Xiangyu, who had just stepped out of the threshold, to hear.

Sure enough, Li Xiangyu's body paused, turned her head and glanced at Li Man coldly.

Li Man grinned at her, and her delicate appearance made Li Xiangyu stunned.

In terms of appearance, Li Man is really many times stronger than the lotus she brought.

——

Someone made pig's head meat, Li Man saved a lot of trouble, went to the vegetable garden and picked two handfuls of beans, three cucumbers, and a small basket of greens, which were washed by Li Mo, and she began to fry them.

Xiao Wu lit the fire below, and she was responsible for frying on it.

Vegetarian dishes are easy to fry, and after a while, the small greens are fried, and they are served in a small plate, and the crisp and tender color looks very delicious.

When he was about to fry the beans, Li Xiangyu suddenly stood on his side, and the frightened Li Man's heart jumped, "Auntie." ”

"You fire yours." Li Xiangyu commanded with a cold face.

"Oh." Li Man secretly stuck out his tongue, and when he saw that the cauldron was burning red again, he hurriedly poured some oil into the pot.

Who knows, this time she provoked Li Xiangyu again, she snatched the oil jar in Li Man's hand, and shouted while holding the oil with a spatula, "Are you stir-frying or eating oil?" I don't need money to count on this oil. What a loser. ”

Li Man was stunned, she didn't pour much, watching Li Xiangyu fill most of the sesame oil, the bottom of the pot was almost invisible, she really couldn't cry or laugh, the oil was expensive, she couldn't help but eat it.

"What are you still doing? Pour the vegetables, wait for the pot to be fried? Li Xiangyu took away the oil jar and shouted at Li Man.

Li Man was also a little angry in her heart, but thinking that she was an elder, she should give way, not to mention, Li Mo had greeted her like that, "En." She snorted softly, poured the beans into the pot, and stir-fried them seriously.

Seeing that her stir-fry posture was indeed presentable, Li Xiangyu snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.

But when Li Man put the salt, she spoke again, "Slow." ”

Then, snatching the salt jar from her hand, she scooped a little with a spoon and sprinkled it into the pot, "These are enough, and the salt is also bought with money." ”

Li Man was speechless, and wanted to say, then you don't need to eat rice, you have to spend money to buy rice and noodles.

"Auntie." Xiao Wu got up at this time and said dissatisfiedly to Li Xiangyu, "The food is not delicious if it is light." ”

——
