Man Lu

"Man Lu, are you okay?" The two walked out of the hall, walked into the garden, walked slowly, and finally Yu Jin broke the silence.At this time, Yu Jin's eyes were full of the girl in front of her.Looking at her, his heart was still throbbing six years after parting.

"I'm fine now, you should be able to tell." Man Lu didn't look at him, but stared at a rose next to her and said calmly.

"I came here just to see you." He thought she was avoiding him intentionally, but he still expressed his heartfelt feelings.

"Thank you, I'm fine." She said again, still gently.

"Don't be like this, Manlu, tell me about you." He clenched his fists and then released them. After a long time, he still couldn't help it, and decided to show his cards.He didn't expect to set the relationship between the two of them again so eagerly, but if he didn't talk about it today, what day would he have to wait?

"Yujin, we have no chance." At this moment, she was still staring at the rose plant with only five green and yellowing leaves.

"Why, I don't mind. Really, I don't mind. Mother, I will persuade her too." He moved to her excitedly, looked at her face, and said anxiously.

"I mind." She still didn't look at him this time, but looked behind her.

"Don't be like this, I really don't mind. Before sending the letter, I've figured it out, and I don't mind. I'm here today, and my heart tells me that I still love you, Manlu." He stretched out his hand to hold Her hand, she took a step back and was dodged by her.

"I don't like you anymore, Yujin. We can't be lovers again, not because of you, but because of me. I don't like you anymore." This time she raised her head, looked at him, and said word by word.There was no wave in her eyes, no trace of affection.

Zhang Yujin stared fixedly at the person in front of her.After a long time, he said: "Can I still come to see you?" He didn't want to give up, but now he could only compromise.

Man Lu took a yellow leaf in her hand and stroked it back and forth.Hearing what he said, he said: "Let the past be the past." Said lightly.

"I see." Looking at Man Lu, he said again: "In Shanghai, apart from you, the Gu family, my Zhang family doesn't have any relatives or friends. My mother just came to Shanghai, and my mother is too lonely at home. She is still not used to it. Can I bring my mother over to chat with my aunt during my vacation?"

"Our family is the same as yours, except that your Zhang family has no relatives or friends in Shanghai. Therefore, you and your aunt are welcome to come over anytime."

"Then let me tell grandma, auntie, Manzhen and Weimin Jiemin, I'll go back first, and I'll come and see them next time." Zhang Yujin looked at the courtyard gate of the Gu family and said.

"Don't stay longer, go back after dinner?" Man Lu learned from Zhang Yujin's words that his residence is not far from here, it's only an hour's drive away.

"No, Manlu. We can't be lovers, so let me be your brother.

"Okay, Manzhen and Weimin Jiemin have always regarded you as an older brother."

"Then I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you next time, to see you."

"Wait a minute, my mother has prepared some food for my aunt. I'll get it for you."

"Thank you mom. I won't go in. I'll wait for you here."

"Okay. I'll be fine soon."

"Take your time, I'm in no hurry."

"Ok."

After a while, Man Lu took out the package, except for a six-piece set of Chinese knots, the rest were all Shanghai's special snacks.This is Mrs. Gu's preparation for Zhang Yujin.Zhang Yujin accepted the package thankfully, and the two remained relatively silent.Zhang Yujin sighed first, said in a serious voice, then took big steps and walked out of the courtyard gate.

When Man Lu entered the room again, Manzhen was drinking tea alone on the sofa in the hall.Manzhen asked her again if she and Yujin could continue their relationship, Manlu once again bluntly said, no.The two sat quietly and drank tea, thinking about each other.

Man Lu thought about her grandmother in her previous life, where she didn't like her. She had four grandsons and three granddaughters.Just because she was the granddaughter who was abandoned by her parents and lived with her.She has never tasted any kindness in the world. Grandma just guarantees her two meals a day. Most of the snacks and fruits on weekdays are just for other grandchildren.Because she didn't love her, no matter what she did, she never cared about her.In the previous life, no one loved her, and she was always the one who was abandoned by others.Abandoned by her parents when she was a child, when she was a teenager, the only grandmother who did not speak ill of her died, and was adopted by a distant relative. The adoption was only for the five hundred yuan paid by her father every month and an extra pair of hands to do housework. .There, it was very humiliating.

For more than two years, she has never recalled the past, and now the scenes of the previous life flashed in her mind. At this time, she hated her memory so well, and her heart was torn to pieces again. She fought back tears, but did not success.Tears flowed out, she covered her face with her hands, lowered her head and sobbed.

Manzhen woke up from the memory and saw her elder sister sobbing softly, covering her face with her head bowed. She got up, hugged her head in her arms, and let her cry in her arms.

Half an hour later, Man Lu got up from Manzhen's arms, washed and washed, and lay on the bed without any sleepiness.After lying down and thinking for a while, she got up and wrote the third novel.

After writing for more than half an hour, Manzhen knocked on the door and came in, seeing that she had regained her composure.She was still able to write a book, so she directly asked her if she was still going back to school today.Man Lu thought about it, and decided to take a week off first. She wanted to finish the novel in her head before going to school.After hearing this, Manzhen also decided to take a leave of absence, and wanted to finish the novel she wrote herself as soon as possible.In this way, both of them took a week off.After leaving the room, Manzhen immediately called the Fudan teacher to ask for leave.Since both the Gu family sisters have no bad records and are top students, the teacher approved it without asking too much.

Regarding Manlu and Manzhen asking for a week's leave, Mrs. Gu didn't say a word to her, she just asked Mrs. Gu to prepare more meals, and Mrs. Gu also added a sweet soup for Manlu and Manzhen. When afternoon tea.

Mrs. Gu, Weimin and Jiemin saw Manlu crying that day, but because of their second sister Manzhen, they did not come out to persuade her.In my heart, I just respect this eldest sister even more.Before, they always thought that Man Lu was strong, but it turned out that she was not, she was so strong only because of them.Because of this, they study harder and do more housework.When they are tired from reading books every day, they clean up.This is learning from Manlu, every time she gets tired of writing, she goes to clean up.Their eldest sister makes a lot of money, writes books well, and cleans up the house equally well. I can't help but admire her.

Man Lu didn't clean up before, but one day she accidentally saw Mrs. Gu cleaning the corridor with her waist. It turned out that she had twisted her waist a few days ago, but it was not serious, so she didn't say anything, and she didn't go to the hospital. medicine.In the past two days, Mrs. Gu has been preparing delicious meals for the whole family of the Gu family. Man Lu is still very satisfied with her.Although such a mother is a little weak, she is also a good mother, and she has good things, which she mostly prepares for her children and mother-in-law.Because of the more than a year of getting along with each other, she has regarded Mrs. Gu as a relative. Seeing this, she more or less did the sanitation work of the small building. Anyway, she did it quickly and well, and it didn't take much effort.

At the beginning, Manlu helped mop the floor, but Mrs. Gu refused to let her study or do whatever she wanted.Mrs. Gu felt that all the starch washing and purchasing work had been handed over to Manlu and hired a little girl surnamed Huang. She prepared meals every day and cleaned the corridors every other day. There was very little work.Man Lu has been busy recording every day, and she has never seen her take a good rest. She also began to feel sorry for her eldest daughter in action.

Man Lu wrote the book at home, and after five days, the book was finished, with a total of more than [-] words.Same as the two previous editions, let Manzhen read the finished edition, and if you want to revise it, the two will edit it again.Manzhen took it, read it carefully, and felt that there was no problem, so she asked Manlu to send it directly to the editor-in-chief.In the end, it was Man Lu who took a closer look at it herself, made some minor repairs, and then sent it out.For this novel, Manzhen was unwilling to sign her pen name. The previous two books were also written by Manlu, and she was just following along, so it was already out of line to sign her. He no longer obeys Manlu.

Because this is a novel of ghosts and monsters, the tone is different from the previous one, and the editor-in-chief’s payment for the manuscript is also different. It’s better to be on the safe side. The method of ending the manuscript given by the newspaper is to serialize 30 words per day, and then finally serialize [-] words. For the final draft, only [-] yuan was paid for the previous [-] articles, which was much lower than before, and Man Lu still agreed.

When Man Lu received the full manuscript fee for her third novel, it had been more than a month and a half, on January [-]th in the new calendar, and the manuscript fee totaled [-] yuan.

She exchanged three thousand for gold nuggets and five hundred yuan for oceans.She didn't give it to Mrs. Gu or Manzhen, but to Mrs. Gu, and told her that in the future, the family can directly withdraw from here, and she can also withdraw directly for what she wants to buy.

Mrs. Gu was at a loss for what to do when she received a large amount of money from Manlu that night.As soon as Manlu left, she knocked on the door of Mrs. Gu's room.

After Mrs. Gu heard this, she told Mrs. Gu to put it away by herself, and just do as Manlu told her.Mrs. Gu didn't dare to keep such a large amount of money by herself. She gave three thousand gold to Mrs. Gu, and she kept five hundred oceans for herself.

Mrs. Gu later found out that as soon as she returned the eight thousand to Manlu, Manlu handed it over to Manzhen.Now that she has earned a large sum of money, she directly handed it over to Mrs. Gu, but Man Lu didn't keep any of it herself. It's really a strange girl.Before Weimin and Jiemin knew that the family's money was in charge of Mrs. Gu and Manzhen.Within a week, they learned that there was another Mrs. Gu in charge, and their eldest sister was as penniless as they were.
