Man Lu

Mrs. Gu was wearing a Manlu dark purple floral flag dress with a black background, a dark purple foreign wool coat, and the hem of the cardigan reached her knees. She stood outside the courtyard gate and kept looking at the people in the street. eastward.In the courtyard, Weimin and Jiemin were just tidying up the garden. The two brothers were responsible for the sanitation and watering of the garden.Apart from these, their clothes are still cleaned by themselves as in the old residence, but the ironing work is taken over by Mrs. Gu.Because of this, the two brothers love to pay attention to hygiene. When doing housework, they will change old clothes.Now they have washed and changed into shirts and trousers remade by Manlu, discussing issues in the yard while being like grandma to them, waiting for their two older sisters to return from school.

Today is Saturday, and the two granddaughters, Manlu and Manzhen, will appear from the east side of the street.As expected, she only watched for a quarter of an hour before the figures of the two people and the two bicycles appeared in the east direction.

"Grandma, it's getting cold, don't come out to pick us up next time." Man Lu pushed the cart, approached Old Madam Gu and said.As soon as she finished speaking, Weimin and Jiemin rushed out from the yard, took over the bicycles of the two older sisters, and helped them store them.The two of them have long been accustomed to seeing the two big burdens on the rear car.They parked the car, picked up their luggage and rushed into the living room, asking Mrs. Gu to serve dinner.

"It's been a long time, come out and move around. It's not to tell you not to ride your bike anymore, you'll have to take the bus next time. It's windy, so don't catch a cold."

"Well, next time my sister and I won't ride. Let's take the bus."

"Is it okay to eat at school? Manlu, Manzhen? Don't try to forgive me."

"Don't worry, grandma, we don't eat cold food. How is the family?"

"Okay, okay. Tonight your mother made you chicken and sea bass, and pumpkin cake."

"Great." Man Lu said again.Every time the two of them come back, Mrs. Gu cooks these two dishes, but fortunately she never gets tired of eating them.The fire food at school is good, but it's only good, and it can't compare with the one at home.She just loves to eat family dishes.

At the dining table, Mrs. Gu is serving the food, Weijie is cooking, and Jiemin is sharing the food.They enter the building and change shoes on the side of the corridor.The floor of the western-style building is made of milky white tiles, unlike the cement floor of the old residence, which gets dirty easily.After living there for a week, Manlu asked people to make two large shoe cabinets, two were placed in the hall, one was for cloth shoes worn inside the house, and the other was for shoes worn outside.For this, Mrs. Gu is very satisfied. It is much easier for her to clean up every day.When the Chen brothers came to visit for the first time, they were really surprised.After they went back, they told Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen also ordered two shoe cabinets to be placed like the Gu family.Mrs. Chen is satisfied with the cleanliness of the house. The servants Ah Ying and Aunt Wu are even more delighted. They have saved a lot of work.For this reason, the two of them treated the Gu family brothers a little better.

A bowl of chicken offal soup, a plate of white-cut chicken, a plate of steamed sea bass, a plate of mustard greens, and a plate of pumpkin cake were placed on the dining table.The Gu family's meals have also been upgraded to a higher level. Every meal in the family has a meat dish, and there are usually two dishes, but there are rarely three dishes.The portions are not as thick as before. The plate of white-cut chicken is only half a piece, and the sea bass is only a catty. Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu now know that money is hard to come by, and it is not like before. Spend a penny, save some.

After the meal, as usual, Mrs. Gu cleaned up, and Mrs. Gu sat on the sofa in the living room with her four grandchildren.Because Weimin and Jiemin were only wearing a single shirt and a white shirt, they were scolded by Manlu.Man Lu opened the bag she brought back from school, took out two off-white men's sweaters, and handed them to Weimin and Jiemin respectively.Weimin and Jiemin took it and immediately put it on happily.

Weimin and Jiemin both wear school uniforms at the teaching school, and only wear Manlu's remade clothes in normal times.The Chen family brothers saw the manlu shirts and trousers that the Gu family brothers were wearing. Although the styles were the same, they felt that the Gu family brothers were stiffer and more stylish than theirs, but they thought it was because the Gu family brothers were stronger than them. .Weimin and Jiemin follow Manlu's instructions, besides doing housework, they also exercise every day.Learned a set of aerobics and a set of boxing from Man Lu.I still have to run for half an hour every day and carry buckets.Their foot strength and arm strength are not comparable to the two young masters of the Chen family brothers.

Weimin put on a sweater, feeling warm on his body.Before watering the flowers and trees in the yard, his body was very warm, so he wore so little.But seeing that Manlu's index finger and mother finger were a little red and swollen from playing with the sweater, he said distressedly, "Sister, don't weave new clothes for us, we can't finish all the clothes in the closet."

"That's right, that's right. We can't finish all the clothes in the closet." Jiemin murmured.

Mrs. Gu, "I went upstairs to review my homework. I haven't seen you taking your books today!" Weimin and Jiemin immediately got up and went upstairs to review their homework.As soon as I came back from school today, I played wildly with the Chen family brothers. It was almost five o'clock before I went home.

The old lady Gu smiled and watched the two little grandsons go upstairs obediently, and she looked away after they disappeared on the stairs.Turning to Manlu Manzhen, withdrew his expression again, and said a little seriously: "Winter is coming, you two stop riding bicycles, take the bus. I know the bus is crowded, and others can pass if they can. Why can't you ?”

"Grandma, I got it. Let's ride again when the weather gets warmer." Manzhen replied.It takes more than one and a half minutes to ride from school to home, and cycling is not so easy.Except for the first day of school, the two of them took the bus back. At other times, they both rode their bicycles by themselves.Manzhen couldn't believe that he could persevere.But in this life, her body is much better than in her previous life. She is no longer a weak woman who can't beat a grown man. It's a trivial matter to lift Jiemin.For more than a month, she learned a set of aerobics and a set of boxing from Man Lu.

Speaking of this, it is very interesting.Among the school's current freshmen, there are two children from warrior families who are still in their class.The two warriors were not convinced, so they competed in public.Man Lu paid close attention to that game, and took her to occupy a good audience seat early.The game was very exciting, the two were evenly matched, which was equivalent to a draw.

After seeing their martial arts, Man Lu was very interested in them.Manzhen originally thought that her eldest sister had taken a fancy to one of those two, but Manlu had taken a fancy to their martial arts.The two practice boxing and kicking kung fu on the school playground every day, and her eldest sister steals it at dawn.In this way, Manlu learned two sets of boxing kung fu from those two people, and she integrated them into a set of boxing kung fu and a set of aerobics suitable for them to practice.

From then on, Manzhen realized that Man Lu was not the Man Lu of the previous life, and she was not the Man Lu of the previous life long ago.Beginning to realize this, she was a little overwhelmed.This Manlu has many similarities with the Manlu from her previous life, especially in terms of diet.She is exactly the same as Man Lu in her previous life, what she likes and dislikes are exactly the same, and even a little bit of movement is exactly the same.She was only surprised for a moment, but after a while, she figured it out.She herself was exactly the same as in her previous life.This Man Lu has changed a lot, but it is still within the range she can accept.This Manlu is the same as the Manlu in the previous life, she is doing her best to support the Gu family, she is so kind to everyone in the Gu family, if she is not her eldest sister, who else could it be?Manzhen told herself, no matter what, this is her eldest sister, even if she was not, she will be her eldest sister for two years now, and they will continue to be sisters in the future.

"Grandma, what's the happy event today?" Manzhen heard Manlu holding Old Madam Gu's arm and said with a smile.After hearing this, she immediately turned her gaze to Mrs. Gu, how could she tell that she was having a happy event like the old lady?

"You are the only one who is clever!" He said as he took out a square box from under the coffee table, and took out a yellow letter from it.The cover was not opened, so Man Lu took the letter and opened it to see that it was Zhang Yujin's letter, which was received on Wednesday.The content is roughly sorted out like this: I have been studying as a doctor for the past few years, and I graduated from a medical university the year before last, and now I work in a hospital in Shanghai.In October of this year, I returned to You’an to pick up Zhang’s mother and came to Shanghai to learn about Gu’s family moving, and about Man Lu and Man Zhen going to university in Fudan, and so on.The most important information is that this Sunday will come to visit.

After Gu's father passed away, after Man Lu and Zhang Yujin resigned, they never contacted each other again.Man Lu is very aware of the original owner's affairs, and the original owner's memory has already merged with her.How many years have passed, what is the purpose of his visit?

Seeing that Man Lu had finished reading the letter, Mrs. Gu asked anxiously.Man Lu told the truth, Mrs. Gu was very happy to hear that.Immediately stood up, went into the kitchen and explained to Mrs. Gu about the hospitality tomorrow.

Manzhen called softly: "Sister?"

"what?"

"You and Yujin"

"It's impossible for us." The two sisters didn't talk about Zhang Yujin anymore, but went back to their rooms to do their own things.
