And I don't have any acquaintances. If something happens, my family is far away, so I can't help if I want to.
"You don't have to worry about that," Li Yan told about Shopkeeper Xu's son in the capital, and then said to Li Xiangyu, "There is just one thing, Man'er wants to go with us, but the children are too young to take them with them."
"Man'er following?" Li Xiangyu looked at Li Man in surprise, and wanted to say, what can you do if you follow
But Li Man didn't wait for her to finish, and said directly, "Auntie, don't persuade me, I will go this time no matter what."
"Aren't you going to burden them?" Li Xiangyu told the truth after all, she always thought that women would only cause trouble to men when they went out.
But Li Man didn't think so, at least, she would feel at ease following along, and Li Mo and the others would worry about their own safety because of her presence.
"Auntie, I want to take her with me." Li Yan said suddenly, which surprised Li Man, and immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Li Xiangyu looked at him, "Second brother, I know you can't do without your wife, but going to the capital is no joke, how convenient is it for you to travel long distances with your wife?"
"Why is it inconvenient? I can change into Xiao Wu's clothes." Li Man had already planned this way, and women disguised themselves as men since ancient times.
The corner of Li Xiangyu's mouth twitched, this niece and daughter-in-law are really so whimsical, even thought of a way to pretend to be a man
"Let her go." Li Mo also chimed in at this time, not because he thought it would be useful for Li Man to follow him, but because his daughter-in-law had even thought of such a trick, which showed that she really wanted to go out. They are all used to her, as long as they are not too outrageous, basically they can't go against her wishes.
Rejoiced, Li Man turned to
Tang Li Hua took a look, and Li Hua nodded helplessly, "Okay, you will be Xiao Wu from now on."
"En." Li Man nodded vigorously.
The whole family has discussed it properly, what else can Li Xiangyu do, he just muttered, "Okay, whatever you like, I'll cook first."
She went straight to the small courtyard behind to cook. Here, Tian Ning'an exchanged looks with his father, then got up, poured all the money in the drawer of the cabinet onto the table, and then deducted a few pieces of silver from no one knew where.
They didn't count, just wrapped them all together with a piece of floral cloth, and handed them to Li Mo.
"Brother, this time you go to the capital, you will definitely spend a lot of money. I don't have much money here, but you should bring our family's heart first."
How could Li Mo be willing to accept it? Looking around, his family of four lived in such a narrow and crowded place, and there were piles of groceries. It was said that their life was very difficult, not to mention, how did they live when all the money was given to them? Still need to buy goods to do business.
He put the package on the table and said, "Don't worry, we have already prepared for the money. You should pack it up quickly. The only thing is, Auntie and Ying'er are going back to live with me. I'm afraid you will suffer a lot here." I'm sorry."
Among other things, just washing and cooking, these two big men are enough.
Tian Ning'an smiled heartily, "My father and I are two old men. Without them, I feel more at ease, and how can I be wronged. But, you must accept this money. It is difficult to go out, and an extra penny is there It’s better than nothing. We’re at home, so it’s easier.”
"Anzi." Li Yan got up at this moment, poured all the money in the cloth bag into their small drawer, and said, "Your heart, we brothers have written it down, there is really no need for money, you just take care of it." Just take care of yourself. Another point is that Dagu and Yinger live with their children in my house, so you have to go back and take a look when you find time."
"Naturally." Tian Ning'an nodded, seeing that they didn't want money, he had to give up.
Not long after, Tian Ningying bought vegetables and came back, and Zi and Li Xiangyu started cooking behind.
After everyone had eaten, it was getting late.
Li Xiangyu's mother and daughter packed up and saluted, and followed Li Mo and others back to Shennvgou.
No one lived there for more than half a month, and the front of Li's house looked a bit depressed. The weeds and the flowers raised by Li Man were growing wildly together.
After returning, the women cleaned up the house, and Li Mo and Li Yan went to find his little uncle Zhang Ben.
For nothing else, Zhang Ben's house is close, so even if something happens, it's easier for him to take care of him.
Unexpectedly, when Li Xiangcao heard that they were going to the capital, only her sister and niece would take the children at home, she was worried, so she also packed up and saluted, and urged Zhang Ben to move back together.
Zhang Ben is also very happy.
Li Xiangcao is almost six months pregnant now, and he has to go out to work every day, so he seldom spends time with her. When he arrives at Li's house, he has a sister, a niece, and a pair of children to accompany him, so he can rest assured too much.
Moreover, Li Xiangcao's body is much heavier now, here, at least she doesn't need to eat by herself, and with Li Xiangyu taking care of her, he feels more at ease.
And with him as a man, the women and children of the Li family would be much more secure.
Li Man is very grateful. When it is difficult, there are people close to her to help her.
Even at night, she also packed up some of Xiao Wu's old clothes, preparing to go out tomorrow morning.
Waking up early the next morning, she changed into Xiao Wu's clothes, tied up her black hair, and appeared in front of everyone like a handsome young man.
"Sister-in-law, you want to go out like this?" Tian Ningying circled around her curiously, then stared at her handsome face, and couldn't help shaking her head, "You will catch people's eyes when you go out like that before, but It's even more unsafe to go out like this now."
"Why?" Li Man was puzzled. These were Xiao Wu's old clothes, some of which were still patched. She was already wearing a very low-key dress. However, it was also because of Xiao Wu's new clothes, which were too big for her.
Tian Ningying didn't explain, just looked at the Li family brothers, sure enough, their brows became more and more wrinkled, hey, they probably thought the same as me.
☆、Special episode 59 Hurry up
Sometimes, a boy who is too handsome attracts more attention than a beautiful woman.
And the eyes of several people obviously felt that it was inappropriate for her to go out like this.
"Wait a little longer." After Li Man finished speaking, she ran upstairs again, faced the mirror, and used Li's ink to lightly touch a lot of marks on her fair cheeks, which looked like moles from close up. From a distance, it looks like accumulated freckles. Except for the pair of smart eyes, the appearance of this face is greatly reduced, and it is not even considered delicate.
After messing up her hair a bit more, Li Man took a closer look, and when she was satisfied, she went downstairs to bring the knife.
The people below didn't know what she was going to do, and when she came down with a new image, everyone's faces would be distorted.
"Sister-in-law, you are really ruthless." Tian Ningying even gave her a thumbs up, as if she could ruin her beautiful face and moonlight into a freckle-faced slovenly ghost, her sister-in-law can really do it! If you want to let her go, you can't bear to smear all over your face.
Li Mo also frowned, his daughter-in-law was such a clean and clear person, suddenly there were so many spots on her face, it made him feel distressed for no reason.
"Man'er, let's wash it. Suddenly"
"Well, it needs to be washed." Li Man said, "I just made an image to show you. If I go out like this, it won't worry you, right?"
"It's better anyway." Li Yan said.
Li Man knew what to do. After seeing that the luggage was ready, she told Li Xiangyu and the others to take care of themselves at home. If there were any serious problems that could not be resolved, they could go to the town to find the Zhang family, and the rest would be fine.
A group of people set off.
When they arrived in the town, Li Man went to the pharmacy to buy some medicinal materials, and Li Mo hired a carriage and paid the deposit for a three-month lease.
Li Mo drove the car himself, and the others sat in the car. Although it was a bit crowded, it was faster than walking. When it was dark, the group came to a small village on the outskirts of the county. Because there was no inn, they had to Knock on the door of a farmer's house.
There is only an old couple in this farm family. They are simple and kind-hearted. If someone wants to stay for the night, they will accept it.
He led Li Man's family to a small house, which he said was the house of her son and daughter-in-law.
The old couple's two children have already married, and there are several grandchildren, but none of them are around.
Fortunately, they all live not far away.
The son and daughter-in-law are doing breakfast business in the county, and they can come back for a day or two in January to see the old couple.
The daughter married to a neighboring village, so it is more convenient to move around.
No, knowing that Li Man and the others didn't have dinner, the old lady even specially cooked for them, and roasted a few sweet potatoes in the pot hole, saying that it was delivered by my daughter in the afternoon, and it was delicious.
Li Man said it was delicious after eating it.
Because it was getting late, Li Man was afraid of delaying the old couple's rest, so Li Man sent the old lady away, boiled some hot water for everyone to wash, and then took advantage of the time to boil some medicinal materials bought in the morning , After boiling, put it in a small bowl and wait for it to solidify.
After such a lot of tossing, it was almost midnight, and they had to go on their way early tomorrow morning, so the few of them hurriedly took a rest.
Although the room is a bit dilapidated, it is still clean, especially the bedding on the big bed was made by an old woman.
The old woman said that her daughter-in-law is a fastidious person. Every time she and her son come back to stay for a night or two, she will first spread clean sheets and sheets, and after they leave, they will immediately remove them and wash them, and wait for them to come back next time. use.
But the old couple only have two rooms, and the other one is the kitchen, and Li Man is now dressed like a kid, the old woman only thinks that this is a family of four brothers, and doesn't think about anything else, anyway, she is out of the house, making do with it, So I didn't make another bed for them, just brought an extra quilt over.
But such a bed is more than enough for two people, but for four people, no matter how they sleep, it will be crowded, and in the end there is no way, the four people have to curl up and sleep sideways. Fortunately, two quilts are barely enough.
It was also too tiring during the day, and as soon as it quieted down, they fell asleep quickly, until the sun rose, and there was a sound like chickens flying and dogs jumping in the yard.
Li Mo was the first to open his eyes, and quickly pushed Li Yan beside him, Li Hua and Li Man also woke up, and everyone got up one after another.
Li Yan and others went out of the house first, greeted the old couple, and then helped clean the courtyard and do simple housework.
Li Man was alone in the room, slowly experimenting with the results of her tinkering last night. The bowl of solidified black juice gently touched her face and spread it evenly. It seems that there is such a large black birthmark, from the left forehead, along the corners of the eyes and cheeks, almost to the corner of the mouth, almost covering the entire left face of her.
After doing it carefully, she gently washed it twice with water, but it really couldn't be washed off, so she was relieved.
She simply tied her hair up and checked that there was nothing wrong before she went out.
As soon as he went out, he startled Li Hua who was cleaning in the yard, "Man'er, what's wrong with your face?"
He hurried over and wiped her face with his hand, but it couldn't be wiped off at all, and it didn't look like it was stained with ink, but rather like it was born and grown on this face.
"Does it look real?" Li Man only blinked at him and asked with a grimace.
But even if it was fake, it made Li Hua feel uncomfortable, "It looks real, but don't you feel uncomfortable just like this? Also, how is this black thing made? It can't be wiped off."
"Just a few medicinal materials I bought yesterday, I added some holly leaves, and a lot of ash from the bottom of the pot. It's boiled like this. Ordinary
Tang water cannot be washed off. "Li Man said confidently that the skin wax that is often used in modern makeup technology is very similar to hers, but if you want to wash it off completely, you need to use medicine.
She also does this to save trouble, and, moreover, it looks more realistic.
Li Hua was startled, "Then what should I use to wash it off? Besides, are you sure it can be washed off?" With such a large area, she really did it.
Li Man nodded fiercely, and in another corner, after helping the old man build a chicken shed, Li Mo and Li Yan also came over, and they were shocked when they saw Li Man.
At this time, the old woman had finished her breakfast and came out to call them. When she saw Li Man, her eyes twitched, she thought she had misread, she rubbed her eyes twice, and said strangely, "Could it be that my old man's eyes are blurry? Last night, I saw this child's delicate features, just like the one in the painting, why look at it now, what's wrong with this face?"
"Auntie, did you scare you?" Li Man quickly covered her cheeks and said apologetically, "To be honest, the thing on my face came out of the womb. Look good, no, I heard that there is a genius doctor in the capital who is the best at treating this, so my brothers took me to the capital to help me get rid of this thing on my face."
"Oh, so that's how it is." The old woman looked at her pitifully, probably thinking that her eyesight was dim last night and she didn't see clearly, but without that birthmark, the child would be so beautiful, alas, what a pity.
"Breakfast is ready, eat it quickly, and you will be on your way later."
"Thank you, Ma'am." Li Man said politely.
After breakfast, the old woman put a few baked sweet potatoes in a small wooden bucket for them to eat on the road, and told them to be careful on the road. When they came back, if they had no place to live, they would come to their house.
Li Man and the others thanked them, then got into the car and set off again.
Needless to say, it was hard work on this journey.
But here in my hometown, due to the warmer weather, the flowers in Zhang's garden are competing to bloom, and the beauty is too great to behold. Mrs. Zhang is in a particularly good mood, so she sends someone to Li's house to pick up Li Man's mother and son to live in Zhang's house.
But the person who came back told her that Li Man went to Beijing with several of her husbands because the youngest of the Li family was missing and might be involved in a lawsuit in the capital.
Mrs. Zhang heard the words, she couldn't be fooled, and immediately ordered someone to bring back her grandson Zhang Ben who was out socializing, and told him about it.
When Zhang Ben heard this, he was surprised and even more worried.
He knew Li Man's identity somewhat from Situ Qing. If she was really the daughter of Shangguan's family, she would be a prisoner of the imperial court. There may be more involved.
The first thing to investigate is, who let go of the daughter of the Shangguan family back then? And this person's status is probably not simple, otherwise, it would not be easy to save a living person under the crime of ransacking his family and exterminating his family.
In a deserted place like Shennvgou, no one would recognize her, so she could live a worry-free life. Besides, if there was an accident, with him secretly protecting her, nothing major would happen.
But in the capital city, the water is too deep and the relationship is too complicated.
After all, she is the first daughter of the Shangguan family, and her mother is the first princess of the dynasty, born of the once honored imperial concubine Rong, it's a pity...
But once upon a time, this daughter of the Shangguan family was personally married by the Queen Mother to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time. She was extremely honored and favored. She was considered a figure in the capital, and many people probably knew her.
In this way, it is inevitable that he will not be recognized by others. If he is used again
Zhang Ben didn't dare to think about it, so he hurriedly wrote a letter of divorce and sent someone to the capital, but the boy was called back before he could leave the door.
He destroyed the letter with his own hands, informed the old lady, and rushed to the capital himself.
☆、Extra 60 Beijing
After traveling day and night for more than 20 days, the Li family finally entered Beijing before sunset.
Even though it was getting late, the capital city was still very lively, many shops were lit up with lanterns early, and the streets were full of people coming and going, very prosperous.
Li Mo got out of the car first, asked someone to inquire about the location of Jinxiu Semicolon, and then drove directly there.
Jinxiu Branch is located at No. 13, Changrong Street. Compared with other shops around, it looks very inconspicuous, and the front door also looks deserted.
Li Mo stopped the carriage, took his daughter-in-law and younger brothers, and was just about to go in to inquire. Unexpectedly, a plump woman came out and poured a basin of water out without thinking. Fortunately, they hid quickly, otherwise, all of them would have been killed. To pour barley on the body.
The woman was taken aback, she probably didn't expect someone to come to the store at this time, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, guest officer, didn't you spill the water on yourself?"
"It's okay." Li Mo shook his head, looked at Li Man beside him, and seeing that she was fine, he said to the woman again, "Excuse me, is the shopkeeper here Xu Baocai? Ao"
"Who are you?" The young woman asked without answering. She sized up Li Mo and the others with her eyes, and gradually revealed a look of disdain. "Are you from out of town?"
"Sister, we want to find the shopkeeper here." Li Man looked up and looked at the door plate again. It was indeed written Jinxiu, and clothes and jewelry were indeed sold inside.
The young woman glanced at them lightly and snorted softly, "He's not here, you just wait at the door."
As he said that, he entered the room with a wooden basin, and a man's voice came from inside, "Who are you talking to outside?"
"Ask for directions." The woman replied vaguely.
Li Man was listening at the door, and couldn't help frowning. She looked at Li Mo and the others with a helpless expression, "It seems that they don't welcome us."
"Not necessarily." It was almost dark, and there was nowhere to go at this time, Li Mo decided to try again, and walked directly into the store.
There was only one small lamp on in the store, and the light was very dim.
The young woman was packing up her things just now, and behind the counter, a young man was doing calculations and keeping accounts. Seeing someone coming, he immediately put down his pen and walked out of the counter with a smile, "Guest officer, do you want to buy clothes or jewelry?" ah?"
"No." Li Mo shook his head.
When the young woman heard his voice, she immediately raised her head and said displeasedly, "Didn't I tell you to wait outside? Why did you come in?"
"We are here to find someone." Li Man also glared at her angrily, and then said to the young man, "It was entrusted by shopkeeper Xu Hao and Xu. We came to find his son Xu Baocai. I heard that he is The shopkeeper of this store."
When the young man heard this, his expression changed slightly, "How many of you? Could it be the brothers from the Li family that my father mentioned in the letter?"
"You belong to shopkeeper Xu Xiao?" Li Man glanced at this person and thought to herself, bad, he looks like his mother-in-law, and he is completely different from his father's old-fashioned heart. It seems that it is useless to find them this time.
"Yeah." Xu Baocai snorted softly, glanced at Li Man disdainfully, frowned, and then glanced at the other people in displeasure, similarly, his brows frowned even tighter, "My father is really, really Let me explain the situation clearly to you. The business of my store has been sluggish these years, and you can see that there is no customer. Up to now, the two of us can't even support a child, and we have to send him back to our hometown The old man is taking care of it. You four brothers will come as soon as you say, how can I arrange it? Or, just spend two days in this shop first?"
"The shop is about to settle? Then should we continue this business?" The young woman immediately rushed over and objected, "If someone sleeps this night, the smell will be everywhere the next day. When someone else comes, what do you say? "
While speaking, the woman's eyes gouged Li Man and the others fiercely, as if they had taken advantage of his family.
Xu Baocai seemed a little impatient, scratched his hair fiercely, and said, "What can I do, just clean it up at dawn, anyway, there are not many guests coming to the door every day."
"Then why don't you do this business? We rent a shop for business, not as a hotel for people. If you want me to say, your father thought you were doing well in the capital. Today, you will get this at home. Tomorrow The one who brought it home, don’t you need money for food and lodging? Let me tell you, where is the rent for next month?” the woman said angrily.
Xu Baocai was so irritable, he waved his hands, and simply hid behind the counter again, "Okay, you take care of it, I can't take care of it."
As soon as he left, the young woman said coldly to Li Mo and the others, "It's not that we don't want to take you in, it's that we can't protect ourselves here, or else, there is another one in our backyard... .”
"No need." Li Yan suddenly interrupted her words, "My brother is just entrusted by shopkeeper Xu to see how the two of you are doing, but at present, the life of your husband and wife is going well. It's very lively, I think, and he's relieved. Let's leave."
After speaking, turn around and leave.
Li Mo held Li Man's hand, gave Li Hua a wink, followed Li Yan, and left without saying a word.
For the rest, the Xu family couple was stunned for a while, and then they looked at each other with disdainful expressions.
"Hillbilly." At the end, the woman cursed, and then went to ask Xu Baocai about things in his hometown. It is said that the old man's business has been very good recently.
After leaving the gate of Jinxiu, everyone breathed out a long breath.
"It's the best." Li Man leaned against the carriage and cursed angrily, but they didn't say anything
As for tang, these two people are good, one is crying poor, and the other is pushing people away.
If their father saw this scene, the old face would probably be ashamed to the ground.
"Leave them alone, for the time being, we need to find a place to live." Li Yan said as he watched the sky turn dark.
Li Mo nodded, "Let's find an inn to rest for the night, and see if there is any cheaper house for rent."
"En." Everyone nodded.
However, this capital city is the capital city, no matter it is for food, lodging, etc., they are all terribly expensive. I even searched for several inns, and finally, I found a small and poor hotel in a secluded alley.
It was an old couple who rented out the house they vacated temporarily. In one room, there was only one bed, a pair of tables and chairs, and nothing else.
It's about the same as a small hotel in a modern private house.
But with such a condition, you need to pay five renminbi for one night, and ten renminbi for two rooms, which is really like stealing money.
However, in the end, Li Yan didn't know what to do. The old lady who was so stingy that she would chatter with Li Man for a long time over a pot of hot water agreed to remove the tables and chairs in the room, and then vacated another A bed comes in.
In this way, the two beds were joined together, almost filling the entire room.
However, the four of them don't have to be separated, and they only charge for one room, which is indeed a lot of money.
In the evening, after a simple wash, Li Man changed into clean clothes, climbed into the bed first, and then unpacked her bags and counted the bills.
When they came out, they brought a total of nearly two hundred taels of silver. Except for the fifty taels that were secretly stuffed under Li Xiangcao's pillow before leaving, this was all their family's savings.
Along the way, in addition to the 22 taels of car rental deposit, the most expensive thing on the road is to stay in a hotel. However, the number of stays is not many, and most of them are borrowed from farmers. Occasionally, they are stingy and reluctant. Yes, they will give some money, but it will not be a lot, because they only stay for one night, and it is not easy for others to ask for more.
And in terms of food, it is even more economical. On this journey, I went to a restaurant once. It was a sudden heavy rain that day, and the family had nowhere to go, so they went to a noodle restaurant to hide from the rain. Then, each of them ate a bowl The noodles, other than that, are all dry food bought.
It can be said that Li Man's teeth were sore after eating steamed buns all the way. Fortunately, he finally arrived in the capital and could finally inquire about Li Shu's news.
She thought that when Li Shu was found, the family would live a peaceful life in Shennvgou and never travel far again. It was too hard.
"How much is left?" Li Hua sat next to her after washing, only wearing unlined clothing, and asked.
Li Man sorted out the remaining money, put it back into the bag, and replied, "There are nearly one hundred and fifty taels left, which is not bad."
"Oh." Li Hua also nodded, and asked again, "Are you hungry? The second brother went shopping for food, and I'll be back in a while."
"I'm fine, how about you? There are steamed buns in the bag." Li Man looked at him and said.
Li Hua smiled and reached out to rub her loose hair, "Who is hungry this afternoon and ate up all the steamed buns?"
"Oh? Oh." Only then did Li Man remember that she ate the last steamed bun in the afternoon. She stuck out her tongue lightly and said with a playful smile, "I forgot."
"Are you tired these days?" Li Hua readjusted her posture, and her ten fingers slowly fell on her slender shoulders from her silky hair, gently pinching her.
"Hmm." Li Man let out a comfortable breath, and she didn't take it for granted. She pulled the pillow, lay down on it, and closed her eyes to enjoy it.
Speaking of it, I don't know whether it was Li Yan who accepted it in private, or they learned Li Yan's trick to please her secretly after they knew about it.
Anyway, before they knew it, Li Mo and Li Hua both had the ability to massage. Although their skills were not as good as Li Yan's, they were still quite good.
Especially Li Hua, after taking a bath, Li Man likes the unique fragrance of calligraphy and ink that is unique to her body.
Therefore, within a few moments, Li Man's whole body relaxed, and she fell asleep unknowingly, even snoring slightly.
When Li Mo came in wiping his hair, he was a little moved when he saw this scene, "Asleep?"
"Yeah." Li Hua replied softly, gently rubbing her back with one hand, just like putting children to sleep.
Li Mo looked at her tired sleeping face with pity, stroked the hair that had fallen from her face behind her ears, and said softly, "She is very tired."
"I haven't had a good night's sleep along the way." Li Hua also said, and then asked, "Where did Second Brother go to buy food? He should be back by now."
"Well, I'll meet you at the door." Li Mo threw down the towel, took a coat, put it on, and went out.
As soon as he left the yard, he saw Li Yan returning in a hurry, followed by the waiter from the restaurant, carrying two food boxes in his hands.
Li Mo hurriedly greeted him.
The two brothers took Xiao Er and went back to the house together.
Because the tables and chairs were carried out, there was no place to put them in the room except the bed, so Li Mo pushed all the quilts aside, asked Xiao Er to put all the food on the bed, and then counted the money.
In one food box, there is a large pot of rice, and in the other food box, there are two kinds of vegetarian dishes and a bowl of soup. This soup is authentic silky chicken soup, and there are many Chinese medicinal materials in it. It is said that women eat best .
After setting out the food, Xiao Er collected the money and left first.
Li Mo looked at it, and with all these added up, he paid a total of nearly eight years.
Two silvers, this is enough for the family to spend for half a year, so I can't help but feel a little distressed.
But these days, Li Man hasn't eaten well, and his face has lost weight, and he also feels distressed.
Li Yan glanced at Li Man, and asked Li Hua, "How long have you slept?"
"Not for a while." Calling her up at this time, Li Hua really couldn't bear it.
But the food will get cold after a while, especially the chicken soup, he bought it specially for her, it tastes better when it's hot, and it tastes bad when it's cold.
Relentless, Li Yan still said, "Wake her up so she can sleep well after eating, otherwise, she will still be hungry in the middle of the night."
"Oh." Li Hua gritted her teeth, shook her daughter-in-law gently with her hand, and whispered softly in her ear, "Man'er, wake up, it's time to eat."
But it's rare for Li Man to sleep comfortably, so how can she wake up like this, she is still immersed in sleep, and she doesn't respond at all.
Li Mo said helplessly and distressedly, "She is very sleepy, otherwise, let's save the food, and when she wakes up later, borrow the landlord's stove to heat it up."
"Forget it." Li Yan snorted, "Just that old lady, if she saw this chicken, she might eat it in her stomach if she thought of a way."
"Then what should I do? I can't wake up." Li Hua said.
Li Mo also spread his hands, expressing that there was nothing he could do. After Li Man gave birth, she suffered from drowsiness. Once she fell into a deep sleep, it would be difficult to wake her up unless she woke up naturally.
Li Yan glanced at the two of them, bent down suddenly, and hugged Li Man, then, without any explanation, met her slightly pursed lips, and kissed her.
"Second brother." Li Hua was startled, and instinctively stretched out his hand to pull.
But Li Yan ignored him and kissed him vigorously. Sure enough, within a moment, Li Man's cheeks were flushed, her long eyelashes trembled in pain, and she made a whining sound.
"Man'er, wake up, it's time to eat." The moment she was about to open her eyes, Li Yan let go of her resolutely, licked her lower lip lightly, and smiled at her.
Li Man slowly opened his eyes, still a little confused, just staring at him blankly.
Seeing her confused little eyes, Li Yan smiled lowly, "I bought something delicious, if you don't wake up, we'll eat it all."
"Delicious?" Li Man pursed her lips involuntarily, looking to the side, the big bowl of fragrant silky chicken immediately attracted her attention.
"Chicken?" She widened her eyes in surprise, and sure enough, food was the most tempting, she was completely awake, quickly pushed Li Yan away, and crawled over there.
Li Yan smiled lightly at the other two stunned people, "Big Brother, Fourth Brother, what are you doing standing there? Eat quickly."
"Oh." Li Mo's face turned red, and he stood aside in embarrassment, without moving.
And Li Huajun's face was not much better, he was embarrassed, and an inexplicable emotion spread in his chest.
Li Man didn't understand what their brothers were thinking, so she just took a spoon and took two mouthfuls of chicken soup, "Well, it's delicious, I haven't had such a delicious soup for a long time, yeah, why are you standing there? Hurry up and eat it , it’s not good when it’s cold.”
As she spoke, she brought bowls and chopsticks to the three Li Mo brothers.
"You eat yours, we'll do it ourselves." Li Hua took the bowl in her hand and went to serve the meal.
Li Man didn't refuse, and ate two more mouthfuls of food by herself. She was really hungry all the way.
Li Yan helped to tear a chicken leg and put it in her bowl.
Li Man simply held it with his hand and gnawed it. He looked like a greedy child. Li Mo and the others looked at it, and they liked it and felt sad at the same time.
However, after she ate one chicken leg, she refused to eat the rest and just gave it to three men.
They love her dearly, and she knows that, but they are men, so they have to take care of themselves. Besides, they have decided to see if there are any cheaper houses for rent nearby, so that she can buy vegetables and cook by herself. That would save a lot and eat a lot better.
The whole family sat on the bed and finished dinner lively. Li Mo and Li Yan went to the restaurant to deliver the dishes together.
Li Hua stayed at home with Li Man.
After eating enough, Li Man's sleepiness disappeared, so she chatted with Li Hua about homework and the life of the family after finding Li Shu.
People are like this, they don't feel it when they have it, but they don't realize how precious it is until they lose it.
It turns out that as long as the family is together, no matter what the day is, they are happy.
But even if one is missing, this happy life is incomplete.
But, Li Shu, where are you
At night, Li Man saw this bastard again in his dream, but this time it was different from before. At the beginning of the dream, Li Shu was still the sunny boy who liked to laugh, but in the blink of an eye, his whole body was covered in blood. He staggered towards her, calling his daughter-in-law, but when he called Man'er, a mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth.
Li Man's heart almost jumped into her throat, she wanted to call him, but she couldn't make a sound, she wanted to rush towards him, but she couldn't move, her whole body seemed to be enchanted, and she couldn't move even if she wanted to.
"Man'er." Li Hua suddenly saw Li Man's head covered in cold sweat, sobbing and trying to cry out, and quickly pushed her to wake up.
Li Man suddenly opened her eyes, was startled, hugged Li Hua suddenly and said, "I dreamed about Li Shu, he was covered in blood, what should we do? Are we late?"
"Man'er, you are full of dreams." Li Hua hurriedly patted her on the back lightly, comforting her.
On the other side, Li Mo and Li Yan also
Hearing the commotion, he sat up and raised his eyebrows at the same time after hearing Li Man's dream.
"I'm scared." Li Man opened her eyes, looked at Li Hua in confusion, then at Li Mo and Li Yan, and couldn't help but shed tears, "I'm afraid we're late, what should we do? What if Li Shu wants to do something? manage?"
She hardly dared to imagine, what would she do if Li Shu was really like in her dream? Or, he is suffering and waiting for her to redeem him.

Different from Li's family, Zhang Jing hurried on and arrived in the capital on the 15th, and told Situ Qing about this in advance.
Hearing this, Situ Qing was not only not nervous, but instead looked interested, "Little girl came to Beijing? I haven't seen you in two years, so I don't know what's going on? Zhang Jing, take someone to investigate yourself. Before dawn, I will see her."
Before dawn? Zhang Jing's expression twitched. He had been driving day and night for half a month. Now it was dark and he was hungry.
