Chapter Twenty-Six: This Man Has a Habit of Cleanliness
Ye Feng also returned home in the evening, and he was also very happy to see that the family had bought so many things, and Liu Man'er took the opportunity to take out the pen and paper he got last time:
"Look, I bought these for you, do you like it?"
"Such a good paper, I'm afraid it's very expensive, right?" After the boy turned this stack of blank papers, he wiped his hand on his clothes, and then he touched the smooth paper with some love.
"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." Liu Man'er said, "I heard that you used to write on brown paper, and with this stack of paper in the future, the paper you write will definitely be more neat." ”
"I didn't expect my sister-in-law to say such a level of words." The young Ye Feng was very sunny, he touched his head and said, "Such a good paper, I am reluctant to use it to practice calligraphy." ”
"What's so reluctant about this?" Liu Man'er said with a smile, "If it's ordinary paper, you can't help but feel that it's ordinary paper anyway, and you won't be so careful, but this paper is a penny, and if it's broken, it's just a penny." ”
"So expensive?" The people in the room exclaimed at the same time.
"It's a bit expensive, but as long as Ye Feng can practice good handwriting, it's worth it." Liu Man'er said with a smile, "When the time comes, I really won't be able to pass the top prize, and it's not bad to copy books for others." ”
"Crow's beak." After Ye Qing on the side heard this, he immediately scolded, "Our family Ye Feng is a natural Wenqu star, and he is the hope of the family!" ”
Liu Man'er was told by him, she didn't think it was anything, but listening to him, why did she feel a little weird?
"You don't put too much pressure on Ye Feng." So Liu Man'er wiped her mouth and said, "I think everyone in our family is the hope of the family, my mother is, Ye Yuan is, Xiaohe is, Fusheng is, and so are you." ”
"I'm just a clay leg, but I can't afford hope." Ye Qing said.
"If you think you can't afford it, forget it, coward." Liu Man'er really didn't want to have more cars with a petty family like him, so she mocked him.
"Yes, I'm a coward!" Ye Qing slammed the door and left.
"Hey, what are you murdering!" Liu Man'er couldn't help but yell at the door.
"You don't have to say a word." Ye Yuan grabbed her.
Liu Man'er said a little unhappily, "You help Ye Qing every time, you just heard what he said, am I wrong?" ”
"Yes, Man'er, you're right, it's all Qing'er's bastard boy's fault, I'll talk about him." Fang Clan hurriedly acted as a peacemaker on the side.
Hearing Fang's words, Liu Man'er was embarrassed to say more, she just glared at Ye Yuan hatefully, and said, "There is no distinction between right and wrong." ”
Ye Yuan touched his chin and stopped talking, he was caught between his younger brother and his wife, and it was also difficult.
"Forget it, forget it." Liu Man'er thought that Ye Qing was a child after all, and she didn't want to worry more about him, so she said, "Mother, you can teach me to make clothes, I bought a lot of cloth today, so I thought about making two new sets of clothes to wear." ”
"Okay, well, but wait for tomorrow, this big night, the smoke under the oil lamp is heavy, and it is eye-catching."
Hearing Fang's words, Liu Man'er nodded, and went to the kitchen by herself, preparing to boil water to take a bath and sleep.
Liu Fusheng probably saw that his sister from home was a little unhappy, so he also walked over, Liu Man'er sat by the stove and lit the fire, and he also snuggled up to her to roast the fire.
Seeing this little child, the little unhappiness she felt just now dissipated, rubbing his messy head, Liu Man'er touched his hand and asked, "Are you cold when you wear so little?" ”
"It's not cold." Liu Fusheng shook his head, looked sideways at Liu Man'er, and asked, "Sister, what is hope?" ”
"Hope...... Liu Man'er paused for a few seconds and said, "Hope is like the sun in the sky." ”
"When you are cold, this fire is your hope, and when you are in the dark, the first ray of sunlight you see is your hope."
"Oh." Liu Fusheng nodded as if he didn't understand, "Then am I your hope?" ”
Liu Man'er really didn't know how to answer for a while, and the fire in the stove reflected his serious face, which made Liu Man'er a little choked for a while.
"Isn't it?" Liu Fusheng said.
"Yes, of course you are my sister's hope." Liu Man'er nodded, and said, "It's just that my sister has always disliked putting hope on others, and I have always preferred to put hope on my own." ”
"If you have a dream, you will pursue it, and if you want to do it, you will rely on yourself, not on others, do you understand?"
The little child still didn't understand these unfathomable truths, but he also nodded, "I know." ”
"It's good to know." Liu Man'er smiled.
Liu Fusheng got closer to her and said, "Sister, didn't you say that you want to teach me to read?" ”
"Oh, yes, I'll buy you pen, ink, paper, and inkstone tomorrow, but you might have to use a little bit of it, you won't mind, right?" Liu Man'er said.
"Don't mind." Liu Fusheng's head shook like a rattle, how could he mind? He can read and write, I don't know what a great honor it is.
"Come, I'll teach you to write your name now." Liu Man'er said, took out a piece of charcoal from the frame on the side, and wrote a willow character on the ground, "Oh, this is our surname, Liu." ”
"Willow." Liu Fusheng also followed the recitation, and he laughed when he read it, looking very happy.
Liu Man'er also laughed, and then Liu Fusheng took the charcoal and wrote on the ground, but his charcoal posture was crooked, but he couldn't write a good word.
"Don't worry, there are more strokes in this character, and Sister Ming'er will give you some simple ones." Liu Man'er said with a smile.
"Okay." Liu Fusheng nodded, and suddenly felt that during this time, he was so happy, as if he saw hope.
After playing for a while, Liu Fusheng was about to run outside, but Liu Man'er stopped him, "Where are you running?" ”
"I'm back to sleep." Liu Fusheng replied.
"Wait." Liu Man'er stopped him, took a small wooden basin and walked to the stove, scooped out a spoonful of hot water from the pot, "Before going to bed at night, you must wash your feet." ”
"Okay." Regarding Liu Man'er's words, now Liu Fusheng is obedient.
Liu Man'er smiled again, gave him cold water, and watched him sit on this small bench and wash his feet.
After he left, Liu Man'er moved out a large wooden basin again, intending to scoop up water and bathe herself.
To be honest, this kind of bathing basin, she really hates sharing one with others, especially such a large family uses this basin, but there was no way before, and now that she has money, she must buy a bathtub.
It's best to have that kind of bathtub, and if you have that kind of bathtub, it will be very comfortable to soak in at this time.
Well, no, I have to ask Ye Yuan to help her buy a bathtub tomorrow.
Liu Man'er thought as she scrubbed the tub.
After taking a shower, she went back to her room to sleep, and just opened the door, but saw Ye Yuan sitting on her bed, she was a little surprised, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”
"I'm waiting for you." Ye Yuan said.
"What are you waiting for me for? You don't sleep with me. Liu Man'er was a little puzzled, this Ye Yuan had always slept on a stool by himself.
Seeing Liu Man'er answer so quickly, Ye Yuan was instantly stunned.
"Go wash your feet, I've left you hot water." Liu Man'er said, motioning to Ye Yuan with her eyes to get up and not to sit on her bed.
"Now, my family loves to be clean, and they even dislike me." Ye Yuan said with some taste.
"Of course, let's go." Liu Man'er waved at him as she spoke, and got into the quilt.
After walking for a while during the day, she was tired, but she couldn't sleep well at night, and there was always a big five-step snake in her dreams, which scared her full of nightmares and couldn't sleep well.
In a daze, a hand reached out to her forehead, and Liu Man'er felt a cold touch, like a snake look, and she woke up suddenly.
When I looked up, it was Ye Yuan's thick hand.
Liu Man'er took a long breath and said unhappily, "What are you doing?" Scared the hell out of me. ”
"What are you afraid of?" Ye Yuan asked.
"Snakes." Liu Man'er said, "Don't you know, I'm holding a snake today?" Your hands are so cold, but they scare me to death. ”
"But my hands aren't cold." Ye Yuan said to himself, "Could it be that you just took a cold shower and washed your hands?" ”
When Liu Man'er heard his words, she couldn't help but worry: "You are cold, is it necessary to love cleanliness so much?" Why take a cold shower? What should I do if I catch a cold? ”
Hearing her slightly reproachful words, the corners of Ye Yuan's mouth showed a smile, "Then you let me sleep on a stool every day, so you are not afraid that I will catch a cold?" ”
"Did I let you sleep on a stool?" Liu Man'er was a little puzzled, "It seems that you want to sleep by yourself, right?" ”
"Okay, it's my fault, then I want to sleep in the bed now, can you sleep in it a little bit?" Ye Yuan said in a low voice.
When Liu Man'er heard what he said, a few charming thoughts suddenly popped out of her mind, as if, the two are husband and wife?
What if he makes a request to himself at night?
But let him sleep on the stool like this all the time, and he was a little reluctant to do it, but he ......
Liu Man'er couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you sleep on a stool before?" Looks like it was going to be a little colder the other day, right? Now you're going to bed? ”
"Because I'm not a casual man." Ye Yuan said seriously, "I only like to lie in the same bed with the woman I like, I didn't like you very much before, but these days, I think you seem to be pretty good." ”
"Get out!" Liu Man'er spat out a word.
"I'm not a casual woman, I just like to sleep in the same bed with the man I like, but I don't like you very much right now." Liu Man'er retaliated with a tooth for a tooth.
"No way!" Ye Yuan said very macholy, "If you are my woman, you can only like me, if you lie down with other men, you will have committed the seven rules and will be immersed in the pig cage." ”
