Chapter 9: Coming Back

Li Man remembered that when he was in college, he once entered the men's dormitory, which seemed to be such a scene, it seems that this family is indeed short of women.

But who are you? Isn't it the family?

Li Xiaowu was a little embarrassed, originally the second brother did all this work, but today there were fish in the pond in the village, and the second brother had to help keep the accounts, so he didn't have time to leave.

Li Man didn't think much about it, knelt on the kang with one leg, reached out and opened the window at the head of the wall, so that fresh air could come in and disperse the smell, and then took out a few dirty clothes.

"Sister, I'll wash it." Li Xiaowu hurriedly took the wooden basin in the house to the yard, and then fetched water vigorously by the well.

Seeing his small body and laborious appearance, Li Man smiled and asked him to go to the side and come by himself.

Li Man's strength is still not small, although this rolling well is still the first time to use, but it is quite skillful, and after a while, the basin is full of water.

In this era, there was no laundry detergent soap, Li Man had to follow the local customs, and use some grass and wood ashes, fortunately, after carefully scrubbing a few times, the clothes were excellent, although old, but clean, to the yard to dry, the sun shines up, you can smell the fragrance of grass and trees.

Li Man was very satisfied, she loved cleanliness very much, after washing her clothes, her hands were itchy, so she simply went back to the house, dismantled the quilt on her bed, and threw all the sheets into the basin.

Today, the sun was very good, so she took all the quilts to the wall to dry.

But it was not good to only wash myself, so I went to the east room again, and dismantled all the bedding, dried the quilts, and washed all the sheets.

Because there were not enough bamboo poles to dry clothes, she later found a rope in the kitchen, tied it to the yard, and then dried the washed sheets.

After everything was done, it was almost noon, and Li Man used several gestures to make Li Xiaowu ask clearly, at noon, there were only two of them at home, and no one else would come back to eat.

That's easy, the two of you can eat whatever you want.

On a bench in the corner of the kitchen, there was a bag of corn flour, a small half-bag of flour, and half a bag of white rice, and some sweet potatoes piled up on the floor, but there was nothing else to eat.

Li Man thought about it, so he decided to make some hand-rolled noodles, went to the small vegetable garden in the backyard and picked two cucumbers, came back to wash them, and then mixed the noodles.

From beginning to end, Li Xiaowu squatted on the side, put his hands on his cheeks, looked at her with surprise and admiration, and his eyes were full of words: Sister is amazing.

Li Man also felt that this child was really distressing, and thought that if she hadn't been sick in modern times, if she had a child, she would have been as old as him, and unconsciously, she cherished him even more.

As soon as Li Mo entered the courtyard, he saw that the courtyard was full of clean clothes and sheets, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and when he walked to the kitchen door, he saw a slender and beautiful woman standing by the pot and kneading dough.

The woman was dressed in a gray cloth shirt with patches, and her sleeves were rolled high, revealing a snow-white arm.

Li Mo only felt that it was so snow-white and piercing, and he wanted to look away, but his eyes were disobedient, and he wanted to stare at it as if he wanted to see more.

At this moment, Li Man suddenly turned his head and saw clearly the man who was staring at him stupidly at the door, and he was also stunned.
