Li Man's hand trembled, and the scoop in his hand fell into the noodle bag, she turned around, and looked at him with some embarrassment, "Li Hua..."
"Huh?" There was an expectant smile on Li Huabai's face. However, she could also see that there was tiredness in his brows. He wanted to come back in a hurry. When he was so tired, she suddenly couldn't bear to say anything else. , in fact, is it useful to say it? Li Mo and Li Yan's example, and their damn vow, she has become his brother's woman now, which means she is his by default.
Forget it, just let it happen, if he regrets it in the future, she is willing to give him a share of freedom.
"That, I remember, you sit down obediently, I'll roll some noodles for you." Li Man reached out and gently pushed his hand away, and said to him gently.
The smile on the corners of Li Hua's lips deepened, and spread to the bottom of his clear eyes, which seemed to be full of bright and gorgeous stars, making people afraid to look directly at them.
"Don't be busy, I'm not hungry, I'm just a little tired, you can put the basin away. I'll boil some water myself, and then I want to take a bath."
Taking a bath can indeed relieve fatigue, but, "You haven't eaten anything."
"I have dry food in my bag." Li Hua took down the vegetable bowl from her hand.
Li Man thought that he really didn't have much appetite, so she said, "Okay, I'll clean the pot and boil the water for you later. Guo"
"I'll do it myself." Li Hua said, seeing that Li Man was a little helpless because he couldn't help, he added, "How about you wash the pot and I'll boil the water later by myself." .”
"Yeah." Li Man hurriedly cleaned up the hot rice pot, and scooped up half of the pot of water.
Li Huazi went to the east room to get his clean clothes.
When he came back, the cauldron was filled with steam, and Li Man had offered to help him burn it.
A smile could not be restrained from the corners of his lips, he lifted the lid of the pot, tested the temperature, and when he felt that it was almost ready, he told Li Man not to add firewood.
"Is it ok? It will be more comfortable when the heat is hot." Li Man stood up and glanced suspiciously at the pot. Li Hua was scooping all the hot water into the tub.
Li Hua scooped up all the hot water in the pot and felt that it was still hot, so he scooped two ladles of cold water from the water tank and mixed it with water. "That's fine."
Li Man smiled lightly, and walked out, "Okay, you soak for a while, I'll go out first."
"En." Li Hua nodded, followed her to the door, and then slowly closed the kitchen door.
Li Man went to the east room and saw that Xiao Wu was sitting on the kang, facing the window, holding a book in his hand and reading it with great interest.
"What are you looking at? So fascinated?"
"Sister?" Xiao Wu immediately shouted happily, and passed the page forward for Li Man to read.
There were three characters on the page, in traditional characters. Li Man really didn't recognize them for a while, so she took the book out of Xiaowu's hand and flipped through the contents at will.
It turned out to be similar to modern fairy tales and children's story clubs, no wonder this little guy was so fascinated by it.
Randomly flipped through a few articles, some of the short stories were good, such as Kong Rong making pears, but some of them were too educated and heavy, Li Man felt that these stories were not good for a child like Xiao Wu who was full of innocence. good.
"Sister, doesn't it look good?" Xiao Wu leaned on her shoulder and asked excitedly, "By the way, I don't know many words here. Sister, teach me."
"Well, which ones?" Li Man returned the book to him and asked him.
Xiao Wuyi got the book, and immediately pointed to one article with great interest, "This, and this."
"Oh, this is an arrow, the arrow used to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, and this one is short, tall and short." Li Man explained to him one by one.
This short story is about a short child who wanted to learn archery to become a hero, but was often laughed at by others, so he practiced hard at home every day. After reading it, it is a good inspirational story.
Xiao Wu nodded after hearing this, then turned another page, pointing to the unfamiliar words and asking.
Li Man explained everything one by one. Not long after, she heard the sound of the kitchen door opening, she hurriedly closed the page, and said, "Xiao Wu, you can see for yourself. Your fourth brother is done washing, I'll go and have a look."
"En." Xiao Wu nodded, took the book and flipped through it with relish.
When Li Man went out of the room, she saw Li Hua coming back from the courtyard with a tub, obviously just poured the bath water.
"Did you teach Xiaowu how to read just now?" He leaned the bathtub against the eaves, and immediately straightened up and smiled at her.
At this moment, he was only wearing a thin white shirt. Although it was very old, it was well washed. Under the sun, he even looked like a charming purity.
Li Man pursed her lips, and smiled at him, "Well, you can go back to your room and rest after washing, I'll wash your clothes."
With that said, he walked away from him and went into the kitchen.
Li Hua hurriedly followed, grabbed her hand that was about to pick up the dirty clothes, and said, "No, I don't have two, I just rub it myself."
However, Li Man has already taken all the clothes he changed into in his hands, pushed his hands away, and said with a smile, "It's just two of them, and I won't be tired. Anyway, I have nothing to do. Go back to the room and rest." .”
"But..." Li Hua blushed suddenly, her eyes sparkled and she dodged a little bit, with embarrassment, she said in a low voice, "There are my underwear inside."
Pfft... Li Man almost fell to the ground unsteadily, of course she knew that he had changed into underwear, but is it necessary to say so
Usually, when washing clothes for their brothers, there are
Are the tang panties good
But when he said this, she suddenly felt that the clothes were a little hot.
"Cough—" Li Man blushed, but tried her best to pretend that she didn't care, pushed him away, put the clothes into the laundry basket and said, "It's okay, I can wash it clean."
Ga? This thoughtless sentence made her stiff again, and she almost fell into a hole in the ground. Fortunately, Li Hua is also a simple person, and she didn't think in a wrong way. , I am very sorry.
To avoid embarrassment, Li Man hurriedly pushed him out, "Look at your tired face, you should go back to the room and rest."
"It made you tired." Li Hua left obediently.
As soon as he left, Li Man breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the clothes in the basket, shook her head, and wanted to laugh, but there were only a few clothes, so why be nervous? Are panties not clothes
She carried a basket with a basin, went to the yard, fetched some water, and scrubbed it with grass ash, but when the underwear was washed, she still couldn't help blushing, thinking of Li Hua wearing these underwear in a trance. looks like...
Pfft... No, she shook her head hurriedly, wondering why she suddenly became a pervert? It's a crime for such a clean and beautiful young man to masturbate.
I hurriedly scrubbed and washed the clothes, and hung them on the bamboo poles while the sun was still shining.
After finishing his work, he went to the door of the east room to see that Li Hua didn't take a rest, but leaned on the bed of the kang, and was reading seriously with a book in his hand.
She wanted to leave, but at this moment, Li Hua turned around and said, "Come in."
"I just want to see if you've rested or not?" Li Man stood at the door, not intending to go in.
"Come here to find you." Li Hua put down the book and sat up straight.
Li Man could only go in hesitantly, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Wu also put down the book in his hand at this moment, and looked at Li Man excitedly.
Li Hua patted the edge of the Kang and said, "Sit down first."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Man asked suspiciously.
Li Hua tilted his head slightly, stared at her as if looking at her, and said slowly, "Just now Xiao Wu read me a poem, and said it was better than what I usually read to him. I listened, although it didn't rhyme , the content is too white, but after careful recollection, I feel that it is full of meaning. It is indeed a good poem. So, I want to ask you, who is the author of this poem? In this dynasty, even the previous dynasty, according to my knowledge There is no such style in school.”
"This—" Li Man lowered her head, secretly amused, how would she explain Xu Zhimo to him
Li Hua became more and more puzzled, "Why? Is it convenient to say?"
"No." Li Man looked up, with a smile on her face, "Actually, I don't understand either, but when I was a child, I heard a neighbor often chanted it. I thought it sounded good at the time, but who would have remembered it?"
"Oh, that's right." Li Hua nodded, his eyes showed admiration, "I think your neighbor must be a talented man full of knowledge."
"Yeah." Li Man nodded, "Yes, he is very powerful, we—" She remembered that when she was in college, the girls in the dormitory were madly obsessed with the poems of this genius Xu for a while, and she was the same at that time, morning and evening, He always loves to wander around the green grass of the campus with his collection of poems in his hands.
Li Hua was still waiting for her to finish, but Li Man suddenly changed his words, "Everyone in our village likes to hear him read poems."
"Oh." Seeing her gentle and adoring eyes when she mentioned the poet, Li Hua suddenly became a little concerned, "Your neighbor must be a good person just like our master."
"Well, it's okay." She and Xu Zhimo were not of the same age either, she was only interested in poetry but not people.
Li Hua suddenly said, "Oh, that's really good. It would be great if I could have the honor to meet him and ask him for advice, but I don't know about his old man..."
"Old man?" Li Man was surprised, and after thinking about it, she said, "I'm afraid I won't have that chance, the old man is already dead."
Li Hua was slightly taken aback, a little regretful, and at the same time a little ashamed for eating the jealousy of a dead old man.
"Sister, are you free now?" Xiao Wu asked suddenly when he saw that they were chatting, but he couldn't get in the conversation at all.
Li Man turned his attention to this side, nodded, "What's wrong?"
"Teach me how to do radio gymnastics. I learned everything in the morning. Let me do it again." Xiao Wu said, then dropped the book, got off the kang, and ran outside.
"What radio gymnastics?" Li Hua was very surprised, it was a word that he had never heard before.
Li Man said casually, "It's just moving the limbs."
Said, walked out.
Xiao Wu was already standing in the middle of the courtyard, standing at attention, seeing Li Man coming out, immediately stretched out his arms and kicked his legs, started to do it seriously, and still read the beat aloud by himself.
Li Man was standing on the side, her eyes were full of smiles, Xiao Wu was really smart, and he had a good grasp of the rhythm.
Li Hua was very curious, so he put down his book and came out with his shoes on.
"Is this radio gymnastics?"
"Yeah." Li Man glanced at him, "Why did you come out?"
"Look." Li Hua stood next to her and smiled slightly, "There was Hua Tuo's Wu Qin Xi in ancient times, and I saw my master practice it. Now it seems that it is somewhat similar to yours."
"Oh, hehe, I used to see people in our village doing exercises, and I learned some. It's good to exercise your muscles and bones on weekdays." Li Man looked up at Li Hua, and felt that he had grown taller again after not seeing her for a long time. For a while, I couldn't help laughing, "Why don't you practice with Xiao Wu too?"
"Me?" Li Hua's fair face was blushing a little, making him stretch his arms and kicks in front of her like a monkey, he couldn't do it.
Unexpectedly, Li Man felt that Li Hua was a person who rarely did any activities other than studying, so she insisted on pulling him along.
"Come on, stand on the side of Xiaowu, and learn from me first. Then I will teach you the first three sections when I find time."
With that said, Li Man stood in front of the two of them, and began to practice again in a patterned manner.
Li Man was still embarrassed, but seeing that Li Man was serious, and that his younger brother, Xiao Wu, had already learned it. As an older brother, he had no reason to be a coward, so he bit the bullet and followed suit.
It's just that he is too tall, so his movements are not as flexible as Xiao Wu's, and his legs are too long. If he kicks straight, he may kick Li Man in front, so he bends half.
Li Man turned around and saw his movements, hurriedly came to correct him, supported his waist, pointed to his legs, and said, "Straighten a little, the kick should be relaxed and natural, of course, it must be strong, the movements are natural, don't be so slow." swallow."
However, the more she talked about Li Hua's body, the stiffer her body became, especially when she put one hand on his lower back, which was his sensitive area, and it would itch when touched, but he still endured it.
"What's wrong? Are you sweating?" Li Man was very surprised when she saw thin beads of sweat sprouting on his fair face. Isn't this too vain? Sweating after only doing a few exercises
Li Hua took a step forward indiscriminately, avoiding her hand, and hastily repeated a kick, "Is that so?"
This time he kicked straight, but the posture of his upper body was obviously wrong.
Li Man shook her head, "Look, the arms and legs must cooperate well. You can't just kick the legs, and the hand is just like this."
"Fourth brother, like this." At this time, Xiao Wu performed to Li Hua in a heart-warming manner. Ha, finally he was able to make a fool of himself in front of the smart fourth brother.
"Oh." Being stared at by the two, Li Hua blushed and slowly completed the action.
Li Man looked at him and shook her head, then saw that his face was covered with sweat, she came over to stand on tiptoes, and instinctively wiped his sweat with her sleeves, "Li Hua, you don't usually exercise less, you should exercise more with me and Xiao Wu in the future. "
She is not tall, even if she tiptoed to reach his forehead, it would be difficult. Li Hua thoughtfully bent her body slightly, coordinated with her movements, and said softly, "Okay."
"Fourth brother." At this moment, Li Shu's surprised voice sounded from the gate of the courtyard.
The three people in the yard followed the prestige at the same time, and saw Li Shu rushing in first, and hugging Li Hua, "Oh, you kid, I can't believe that you are also a person who has been to a big place. "
"Third brother." Li Hua blushed even more embarrassingly, and almost didn't dare to look at Li Man.
Li Shu put Li Hua down, and then patted him on the shoulder. Seeing that he was almost as tall as himself, he was very surprised, "Hey, have you grown taller?"
Faced with Li Shu's enthusiasm, Li Hua still felt very warm in his heart, and it felt so good to be home.
Li Mo and Li Yan came after them.
Li Mo looked up and down lovingly at Li Hua, and felt that his complexion was good, and he seemed to have really grown taller, so he nodded in satisfaction.
Li Yan smiled and said, "Fourth brother, I didn't expect it to be you. I heard people say that when we saw you come back, we took it as a joke. Why did you come back so soon? Didn't you say at least half a month?"
"I happened to meet a caravan on the road, and we are about to catch up. We are taking the main road, so it will be much faster." Li Hua looked at his two brothers and said.
"Well." Li Mo said, "Didn't you encounter anything along the way?"
"No, everything is fine. The people in the caravan took good care of us, saving us a lot of trouble." Li Hua said.
Li Shu suddenly became interested, and put one hand on Li Hua's shoulder, "What caravan? What do you do? Fourth brother, tell the third brother later, the third brother is so grown up, and he hasn't been to such a far place yet. .”
"Okay." Li Hua responded with a smile.
Seeing his brothers standing in the yard, Li Man suggested, "Let's all go back to the house and talk."
"Yeah." Li Mo gave her a gentle look, then walked towards the east room, "Fourth brother, come in and talk."
"Okay." Li Hua instinctively glanced at Li Man.
Seeing that the whole family finally got together, Li Man felt elated naturally in her heart. Looking at Li Hua and herself, she said, "Talk to Big Brother and the others, and I'll cook. I happen to have fish at home. How about I burn it?"
"Anything is fine." Li Hua said.
Li Shu tugged at his younger brother and said to Li Man, "Let's braise in soy sauce. My wife's braised fish in braised sauce is also delicious. Just in time, I ate fish with pickled cabbage for lunch. I just want to eat braised in soy sauce."
Just because of his lip service, Li Yan glanced at Li Shu unconsciously, but he didn't intend to enter the room with them.
Li Man saw that the old god was standing next to her motionless, and she could think of what he wanted to do with her toes, so she hurriedly called to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, help sister light the fire."
"Oh." As soon as Xiao Wu turned around, he gave Li Yan a look, "Forget it, you go play with your fourth brother and the others, I'll burn it."
"Yeah." Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu smiled gratefully at Li Yan, "Thank you, Second Brother."
Turned around and ran into the house.
Li Man stared at Li Yan, "Li Hua just came back, you guys don't have a good talk."
"Don't worry, I have a lot of time at night, let's go, I'll help you light the fire." After speaking, Li Yan took her hand and led her into the kitchen.
"Clean up the fish at noon, and I'll go pick and order some food. In the evening, there's always no fish." Li Man thought, Li Hua had to eat and sleep in the open all the way, so he had to give him a good meal when he came back.
Fortunately, Li Yan was more obedient this time, so he didn't get jealous or embarrass her, so he took the fish and went outside the courtyard to clean it up.
Li Man took the small vegetable basket and went to the backyard to pick some peppers, beans, green vegetables, and cucumbers, then went to the yard, fetched a large basin of water, and washed them slowly.
The washing was almost done, and the fish that Li Yan had picked up were also brought over.
"Put it down." Li Man put the washed dishes aside and handed them to Li Yan, "You send them to the kitchen first."
"Give it away, I'll wash the fish, so you don't have to get your hands dirty again." Li Yan said.
Li Man glanced at him, with a smile on her lips, "Well, you have to wash it off, especially the black stuff in the fish's stomach, scrape it off with a knife, otherwise it will be poisonous."
"I know." Li Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled at her, "I'll bring it to you for inspection later, if you're not satisfied, I'll wash it again."
Li Man's heart moved, she pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and went back to the kitchen without saying a word.
When she got to the kitchen, she put down the basket, turned around and measured the rice first, cleaned it and put it into the big pot. Li Yan came back to start the fire later, two big pots could be cooked together.
She cooks quickly, as long as the heat is high enough, these dishes can be cooked in less than an hour, and the food will be delicious by then.
Remembering that Li Hua hardly ate at noon, her hands and feet became even more agile. After the rice was ready, she walked to the kitchen door and called Li Yan, "Is it ready?"
"Well, water it again." Li Yan said, holding the washed fish directly in his hand, and quickly walked towards the kitchen.
Li Man was waiting at the door of the kitchen, and she really reached out to get the fish, "Let me see, have you washed it?"
"Damn girl, this is the best idea." Li Yan used the hand holding the kitchen knife to lightly poke her on the forehead, "As soon as the fourth brother comes back, will you be so happy?"
- How do you feel that the Li family is full of jealousy now (⊙o⊙)
