Chapter 150: Stubbornness
r
"Don't talk nonsense to the old lady, a bunch of unproductive things, just a few men will make you like this?" Mother Rong saw them in front of Li Man, chatting presumptuously and scolding angrily.
"Oh, Mother Rong, look at what you said, you were even more excited than us last night, and the folds on your face were laughing." Cuixiang said and covered her mouth and laughed.
The atmosphere eased again, and the girls were still chatting hotly.
"Sister Cuixiang, look at my bracelet, isn't it beautiful?" Pink Butterfly raised her wrist, revealing an emerald green bracelet, and asked Emerald Neodymium happily.
Cui Xiang glanced at it and smiled contemptuously, "Pretty is beautiful, but the color is a little worse, and it is worth dozens of silver at most on the market, but it is not as good as mine."
As she spoke, she took off a yellow necklace from her neck, waved it to everyone, and said with a smile, "This is pure gold, you see, how delicate the carvings on it are." ”
"Oops." Pink Butterfly's little face turned green all of a sudden, and the other girls looked straight at it, and in the bright light, the well-made gold chain shone brightly.
Rong's mother's eyes also lit up, and she wanted to take it when she was busy.
Cui Xiang grabbed it in her hand and said vigilantly, "This is given to me by Gongzi Chen, can you rob it?" Besides, Chen Gongzi has to come over at night, he said that he likes to see me wear this chain, it looks good, hehe, if you take it away, Chen Gongzi will not follow. ”
"Dead girl, who are you Rong's mother? I'm not that shallow-eyed, can this idea get into my eyes? I'm just afraid that you'll be stupid and easily coaxed, so I want to help you see if this thing is really real? Mother Rong pouted, her eyes staring directly at the chain, if it was true, such a chain would be worth at least a few hundred silver.
Cuixiang hooked her lips and smiled, "Don't work for your old age, isn't it true that I haven't counted yet?" ”
"Fake." Li Man said suddenly.
"What?" Everyone didn't seem to hear clearly, and couldn't help but ask in unison.
Li Man sat on the stone bench, his expression was light, and he replied, "This chain is not pure gold, it is worth it at most."
How much is a gilded chain worth in modern times?
She thought about it carefully, combined with the modern price of gold, and said, "It's worth five taels of silver." ”
"What?" Cui Xiangteng stood up and glared at Li Man angrily, "You are talking nonsense, such a string of gold chains is worth five taels?" You must have picked it up? ”
Others are also puzzled, looking at the gloss and workmanship, it doesn't look like a fake.
"I don't know if you want to pick it up or not, if you don't believe it, just find a gold shop and ask someone to melt it and take a look, I dare to say that except for the upper layer, there are all other materials inside." Li Man said with certainty.
In modern times, she has a lot of gold and silver jewelry and all kinds of jewelry, and occasionally attends extraordinary occasions, but also has to decorate it, so she is still very sensitive to this kind of things, and she can almost see the authenticity at a glance.
"You?" When she said this, Cuixiang hesitated a little, if it was true or false, wouldn't her face be lost, but if it was true, Chen Gongzi would definitely be unhappy if he didn't see the chain when he came at night.
"Sister Cuixiang, you can go and melt it, let us see if it's really true?" Pink Butterfly smiled and persuaded that her bracelet was only worth a few dozen, but it was always stronger than her fake chain.
As soon as the other girls heard Fan Die say this, they immediately persuaded her, but listening to that tone, it was obvious that there were more elements of jokes.
Cui Xiang was annoyed, "Melt it, even if it's fake, Chen Gongzi will not deliberately deceive me, he must have been deceived by someone." ”
Li Man listened, only to feel that Cuixiang was more simple than her, such a string of gold chains, if you buy it in a regular store, you will naturally not go on a business trip, but if you buy a fake, unless the buyer intends to deceive.
Rong's mother still has some trust in Li Man, so she has no interest in Cuixiang's golden chain, clapped her hands, signaled the girls to be quiet, and then said, "I called you here, not to let you chat, cheer up and listen to the little ancestor give you a lesson." ”
After speaking, Rong's mother said politely to Li Man, "Little ancestor, don't be like them, they are all a bunch of unpromising girls." ”
After the veil, Li Man smiled faintly, "It's okay, I'll start again when they have finished talking." ”
"Don't." Mother Rong was afraid that Li Man would be angry, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "They, when will that mouth stop?" Let's get started. ”
"That's good." Li Man stood up, "I'm going to talk about makeup skills today. ”
When the words fell, these girls quieted down all of a sudden, they all understood that the reason why there would be men coming to cheer was completely the result of Li Man's makeover yesterday, and when they got up early in the morning, they washed their faces with this makeup, and they all returned to the same state, how could they not hope to maintain their beauty and temperament every day.
Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Li Man began to give a lecture, and when he was interested, he used these girls as models, and taught them how to apply foundation, eyeliner, blush, thrush, and lip dotting according to their face shape, skin color, hairstyle, temperament, etc.
Then, let the girls draw by themselves, and at the end, she commented on them one by one, and then repaired them, so that they could see the difference and find out the advantages.
The vivid and interesting class also made the girls' makeup skills improve in a short period of time, and Rong's mother couldn't close her mouth with joy, and the other girls were obviously a lot more respectful to Li Man.
After the class was finished, the sun was setting in the west, and it was about to set, Li Man made an appointment with them about the time and content of the class tomorrow, and planned to leave.
Rong's mother wanted to keep them for dinner, and said that she wanted Li Man to help see if there was anything that needed to be improved in the Nuanxiang Building at night.
But Li Man still insisted on refusing, what she sold was makeup techniques, and what she collected was this money, and she couldn't control the rest, and she didn't want to care about it.
Rong's mother sent someone to pack meals for them as usual, saying that no matter who they are, when they come to do things, they must be full of wine and food, otherwise they will look down on her, and she will not be able to mix in this Xingrong Street in the future.
After talking a few baskets, he was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, he would delay going home, so Li Man had to take the food box, and after thanking him, he and Li Mo and the others set out on the way home.
As the sun set, the sun was not so strong, so Li Man took off his veil and faced the evening mountain breeze, which was very cool.
It's just that thinking of today's events, Li Man is inevitably unhappy in his heart.
Thinking of the twenty little girls who were about to be bought into Nuanxiang Building, as well as the attitude of Cuixiang and others, she couldn't say it well.
I always feel that she and the woman who denounced the negative man yesterday are not alone at all, and she is not ashamed of the man's overtures, but is proud of them, and shows them everywhere.
"What do you think?" Li Yan reached out and picked a small flower and inserted it into Li Man's hair.
"What?" Li Man panicked, and hurriedly grabbed it to see that it was a delicate little yellow flower, the lace may have withered a little because of the scorching sun, but it still smelled fragrant.
Li Yan looked at her sideways, "What were you thinking just now?" ”
Li Man shook his head, "I didn't think about anything." "Two lives, she should understand, some people have some things that can't be done by manpower, she just needs to be herself.
"Look, you've been stunned for a while." Li Hua also said worriedly.
Li Mo also looked at her worriedly, and when she came out of Nuanxiang Building, she kept her eyebrows and didn't speak, obviously having something in her heart.
"Is it because of those stinky? If you don't like it, we won't be here tomorrow. Li Shu said as he pushed the cart.
Li Man glanced at him and said with a smile, "Do you want us to directly keep the money secret?" Anyway, if she wants to find us, it's hard to find us? ”
Li Shu smiled awkwardly, "The daughter-in-law is in charge." ”
"Actually, I'm a little upset today." The worries of several men warmed Li Man's heart, and he decided to open his heart, "It's not their attitude towards me, but their attitude towards themselves, no matter what, they are still young, and the future is still very long, I don't want them to give up on themselves like this, or rather, drunk and dreaming of death." Cuixiang's yesterday, you also saw it? If you continue like this, no matter how good your makeup skills are, you won't be able to make up for that heart full of holes. ”
The brothers didn't understand much for a while, and they all looked at Li Man in a daze, waiting for the following.
But Li Man felt that he had finished speaking, and then thinking about his preachy nature, he really followed his parents, and hoped to see everyone motivated, work hard, be a good person, and live a good life.
As soon as it got dark, everyone happened to arrive home, and there were a lot of children in the yard, chattering non-stop.
Li Man got down from the car, except for Xiao Wu, Huzi and other children all came up, and excitedly asked when they would be given lessons, they all rested for several days, suffocated, and wanted to listen to Teacher Man'er sing.
Thinking that she hadn't taught them for several days, Li Man felt very guilty in her heart, and then looked at these eyes that were eager to learn, and such a picture suddenly flashed in her mind.
In the spacious and bright classroom, there are new desks, chairs, and new books, and the children happily follow the teacher to learn.
Li Man became excited, as if he had found a new purpose in life, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you all study." ”
"Really? When? The children shouted excitedly.
"In a few more months, let the teacher prepare." Li Man said, the weather has been hot recently, and it is impossible to teach classes outdoors, but indoors, two thatched huts, so much, a few children are full as soon as they are stuffed, and they can't learn well, so it's better
In the evening, she should plan well.
Suddenly, seeing Xiao Wu standing outside the crowd alone, looking at himself unfamiliarly, Li Man's heart sank, put aside the children, and approached Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu was dumbfounded and ran away in a hurry.
Li Man was stunned, "What's wrong with him?" ”
"Teacher." At this time, Erya tiptoed and whispered in her ear, "I'll tell you a secret, Xiao Wu and Huzi did bad things today." ”
"What's the bad thing?" Li Man asked.
Erya said, "They caught a lot of caterpillars and earthworms, and while Sister Lotus and Sister Chunni were talking, they all fell on their heads."
"Huh?" Li Man's scalp was numb for a while, and goosebumps rose all over his body when he thought of those soft things, "Why did they do this?" ”
Erya shook her head, "I don't know what to do, they don't allow us girls to follow, I secretly saw it, Sister Lotus was scared and cried, it seems that the village chief later invited Wang Po to come over and dance the gods, Sister Chunni said that she would not let them go." ”
Li Man thought to himself, is this a big deal again? "Is anyone from the village chief's family coming?"
Erya shook her head, "Not yet." ”
"Okay, I've got it." They are all unconscious children, but, those caterpillars, earthworms or something, although disgusting, but in the end they can't hurt people, it's okay to be scared, but how can they not be scared?
After comforting the children and coaxing them to go home, Li Man arrived in the kitchen.
Li Hua was heating the dishes, and the others were sitting at the table to rest, Xiao Wu leaned on the side of the eldest brother Li Mo, and when Li Man came in, he glanced at her weakly, and after that, he lowered his head in a panic.
Li Man was helpless, but he didn't reprimand Xiao Wu in front of his brothers, little boys, sometimes it is inevitable to be naughty.
"What do you eat at home at noon?" Li Man sat down beside Li Mo and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu hesitated, but shrank back again.
Li Man was surprised, "What's wrong?" "Little Wuyi has always been close to himself, why did he suddenly resist himself so much? Even if he made a small mistake, he never punished him.
Xiao Wu didn't, as if he didn't dare to look at her eyes, and ran outside in a panic.
"It's getting dark, where are you going? Eat right away. Li Mo shouted.
"If you know the way, you will go back." Little May Day slipped away and didn't know where to go.
Li Man felt sad and stunned for a while, "What's wrong with Xiao Wu?" ”
"Huh?" The brothers didn't seem to understand her words, "Isn't Xiao Wu very good?" ”
Don't you see it? Xiao Wu resisted her? There must be a problem.
Li Man came out of the kitchen and decided to make it clear to the little guy, even if he really got into trouble with Huzi and them, there were still adults at home, what was he afraid of?
Xiao Wu didn't run far, just leaning on the corner of the courtyard gate, looking dazed.
"Little Five." As soon as Li Man came out, he saw his small figure and hurriedly walked over.
Xiao Wu seemed to want to run, but Li Man took a step faster, grabbed his arm, and dragged him away, "Are you avoiding me?" What the hell is wrong with you? Don't like your sister anymore? ”
Xiao Wu lowered his head, looking like he had done something wrong, but he refused to talk to her.
Li Man bent down and coaxed softly, "What happened?" Is it okay to tell your sister? Or did my sister do something wrong and let you down? ”
Xiao Wu bit his lip and slowly raised his head, his dark eyes were as bright as stars in the night, he stared at Li Man like this, his eyes were strange and tangled.
"What's wrong? Or did I not take you with me to town in the past two days? Why don't you take Xiao Wu alone tomorrow? Your brothers are all at home. Li Man squeezed out a smile and tried to coax.
However, the little guy obviously didn't buy it, and his expression was still indifferent.
Li Man didn't know what to say, he only looked at him innocently, the two villains stared at each other, and after a while, Xiao Wu suddenly said, "Sister, don't let the brothers come to your room at night, okay?" ”
"Huh?" Li was stunned and didn't react for a while, "What is it for?" ”
They are husband and wife, if they don't come, can't she go to the East House?
"I don't like it." Xiao Wu's delicate little brows furrowed, remembering the scene he saw in the middle of the night last night, and his heart was confused.
He didn't like it, very much.
Li Manmeng was blinded for a moment, Xiao Wu's tone was not like a child, and it was so serious that she thought she was a jealous husband.
"You're angry about this?"
Xiao Wu turned his face away, didn't look at Li Man's eyes, only snorted coldly and nodded.
The little guy is quite cool, but this is also childish, Li Man knew the reason, and he was relieved, but he was helpless, "Then what should I do?" If your brothers have to come to my room, I won't be able to get out. ”
Xiao Wu suddenly looked at Li Man again, "That sister doesn't want them to go either, does she?" ”
"Hmm" Li Man thought about it, it seemed that she was used to it, someone played a fan to catch mosquitoes in the middle of the night, which saved a lot of heart.
"Then I'll accompany my sister." Xiao Wuyi said seriously.
Li Man fell under his feet and almost fell, "What did you say?" ”
Xiao Wu suddenly held Li Man's hand with his backhand, and said very seriously, "I said, I will accompany my sister at night." ”
He came to protect his sister and didn't let his brothers bully his sister.
"You?" Li Man looked at him funny, and suddenly wanted to withdraw his hand, pinching his handsome face that had obviously grown flesh, but found that he didn't pull it out after two strokes, and he was ten years old, and his hand strength seemed to be bigger than hers.
Li Man was embarrassed, secretly annoyed that she was useless, but she was surprised to find that in a few months, Xiao Wu had grown a lot taller, and that head was almost to her eyebrows, thinking that there would be a possibility of catching up with her soon, and then thinking about it, the Li brothers are all very tall, and Xiao Wu should not be short.
Immediately, she became the shortest person in the family, and she was really depressed.
What do they all eat? Corn nest head sweet potato?
"Sister, it's decided." Seeing her shaking her head and smirking stupidly, Xiao Wu solemnly reminded her again.
"What?" What's decided? Can he settle down?
Xiao Wu had already grabbed her hand and led her to the kitchen.
Li Mo had just arrived at the door and wanted to call the two of them into the house for dinner.
"Big brother." Xiao Wu entered the room and didn't let go of Li Man's hand.
Li Yan was stunned for a few moments, Li Man moved his little hand that was still clenched by him, and whispered, "Little Wu, let go, let's eat." ”
Xiao Wu didn't seem to hear her words, and said to several brothers, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, you listen well, from today on, I will sleep with my sister at night." ”
Poof-Li Shugang drank the soup greedily, and was shocked by his words, just a mouthful of soup entered his mouth, and all of it squirted out.
Li Yan on the other side, his handsome face was full of chicken soup smell, fortunately, he didn't care, calmly wiped it with his sleeve, and then stared at Xiao Wu with a smile, "How old are you?" Still sleeping with my sister, are you ashamed? ”
"My second brother is older than me, why do I have to sleep with my sister?" Little Five retorted.
Li Man was dumbfounded, looking at Xiao Wu's serious expression, and also confused, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?" The little guy has always been very docile, and today not only resisted her, but also seemed dissatisfied with his brothers.
Xiao Wu grabbed her hand and sat on the stool with her, "Anyway, I don't care, I have to sleep with my sister at night." ”
"No, what evil are you kid guilty of?" Li Shu really wanted to kick him, but the brothers were not enough, and he still came to make trouble? Underwhelmed.
Xiao Wu glared at Li Shu, "I want it." ”
"Okay, okay, Xiao Wu wants to follow Man'er, so let him follow." Li Mo doesn't know what's wrong with Xiao Wu, but he only thinks that Xiao Wu is a child's small nature, and it's good to coax, perhaps, the lack of maternal love since childhood, and it is inevitable to be close to Man'er.
Li Shu's eyes widened, "So what?"
"Okay." Li Yan glanced at him, he didn't take Xiao Wu's words seriously at all, originally, the little guy went to bed early at night, even if he had to follow Li Man, when he fell asleep, he just took it away.
But who knows, this night, after Xiao Wu took a bath, he followed him to Li Man's room, and Li Mo and the others who looked directly were dumbfounded.
Okay, even if this kid is ruthless, then wait for him to fall asleep.
But what makes people depressed is that Xiao Wu didn't know what evil he had this night, pulling Li Man to either recite poems or talk, they waited at the door until midnight, and heard the sound of talking inside, and the upright Li Shu couldn't wait to kick the door directly in and take Xiao Wu away.
