Man Lu

Mrs. Chen had always thought that the life of the Gu family was a bit embarrassing.Because the Gu family has been keeping a low profile since they moved into the bungalow last August.No renovations had been done before renting the house, and the six members of the Gu family were still wearing the old clothes of the owner, Wang's family. Although a lot of alterations had been made before wearing them, she didn't recognize them at first, but after a while they recognized them.Unexpectedly, the Gu family earned [-] yuan per bill, so the Gu family's annual income must be three to five thousand, not to mention doing housework by themselves, but wearing other people's old clothes is too incomprehensible.

Weimin took his leave after receiving the gold bars, and immediately handed them over to Mrs. Gu when he returned home. In a blink of an eye, Mrs. Gu would definitely hand them over to Manzhen.But the Gu family is still doing their own things, Weimin and Jiemin are writing books, Manzhen is writing books, Manlu stopped translating and contacting Mrs. Gu, today the stock is almost sold out, and the stock has to be replenished .

Downstairs, Zhang's mother looked at Mrs. Gu making insoles with a cheerful face, and she was a little bit pampered.Zhang's mother watched the two servants of the Chen family take four big bags from the second floor and went out, and Weimin came back with a calm expression half a quarter of an hour later.I didn't see Mrs. Gu explaining a word or two for a long time, and I felt panicked.

No matter what Zhang's mother thinks, the Gu family has been living at their own pace.In a blink of an eye, the day for the Gu family siblings to start school arrived.Among them, Zhang Yujin only came back three times, including the time on the sixth day of junior high school. Each time, she only stayed for half a day. After lunch, she went back to the hospital again, coming and going in a hurry.After staying in Gu's house for one month and six days, Zhang Yujin took Mother Zhang back to the hospital. Mother Zhang removed the plaster cast on her feet. The doctor said that she was recovering well. In another month, there will be no accidents and she will be able to walk without any problems.Zhang's mother and son discussed it, and returned home to rest.

Zhang's mother had such a good life in Gu's family that she didn't want to go back and live alone.There, I cooked, washed, and cleaned by myself, and no one spoke for ten days and a half.Although I live alone in Lu'an, there are still neighbors there, and there are always one or two people who talk.In the Gu family, the old lady Gu is the biggest, but she only appears at the dinner table and has no other time for intersection.Except for Man Lu, the four younger generations of the Gu family are still very close to her.Not to mention Mrs. Gu, she has been taking care of her for more than a month, and she is most grateful to Mrs. Gu.

Mother Zhang was even more puzzled that Mrs. Gu's siblings had gone to school in the Gu family, and she was still going up to the second floor in the morning and afternoon as usual, and she didn't understand what she was doing there.Mrs. Gu next to her didn't want to talk, she couldn't ask, her heart was itching badly but she could only hold back.

In addition to being curious about what old lady Gu was doing on the second floor, Mother Zhang was also a little puzzled by how kind old lady Gu was to Man Lu.At the dining table, Manlu always sat on the right hand side of Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu picked up dishes for Manlu six or seven times each time.She also saw Mrs. Gu wiping Man Lu's wet hair. These are the treatment that other juniors of the Gu family cannot get.Every time Manlu is at home, Mrs. Gu will make a sweet soup at three o'clock in the afternoon.Weimin and Jiemin respect Manlu very much, although they never have any friendship in front of her.Every Saturday when Manlu and Manzhen came back from school, the two boys waited in the yard. When they saw the figures of their two sisters, they immediately rushed up to carry their schoolbags and parcels.

In addition to these, after school started, the Chen brothers would report at Gu's house almost every day after dinner, go to the second floor of Gu's house to study their homework, and sometimes come to Gu's house for dinner.Zhang's mother already knew that the Chen family's grandfather was a high-ranking official in the government, and Mr. Chen was also the president of the newspaper. The Gu family brothers got along with the Chen family brothers. The brothers are chasing the brothers of the Gu family.The Chen family brothers followed the Gu family brothers and called them Man Lu and Man Zhen's eldest sister and second sister.The two brothers added their surnames to the three elders when they called them, which is really weird.

One month and three days into school, Manzhen's novel was finally finished.After reading her novel, Manlu thought it was her own love story, so she didn't make any changes.As before, I first sent the first 11 words of the novel to the editor-in-chief. The novel was received coldly, and the newspaper did not buy out the publishing rights, and only paid the publishing fee.This autobiography has a total of 60 words and received a manuscript fee of 40 yuan.Manzhen doesn't care too much about the manuscript fee, and now the Gu family earns a lot of money every month.She and Man Lu both have 160 yuan a week for the manuscript fee of a small joke collection. For this item, the monthly income is 2000 to [-] yuan, and [-] yuan a year.

A week after Zhang's plaster cast was removed, she was able to go down for a walk, but she still had to be careful.Being able to go to the field, besides picking vegetables with Mrs. Gu, she also prepared three meals for the Gu family with her.Mrs. Gu refused to let her go to the kitchen at first, but she couldn't persuade Zhang's mother.Zhang's mother is a relatively tough person, and she will do it when she makes up her own mind. She is a person who can make up her own mind, so Mrs. Gu can only do it.With Zhang's mother by her side, she naturally likes the addition of someone to talk to.Half a month after Zhang's plaster cast was removed, she can basically say that walking is no longer a serious problem.

Because Zhang Yujin has been busy, she doesn't want to go back there and live alone.She first revealed her plan to Mrs. Gu, but Mrs. Gu didn't dare to reply, so she had to report it to Mrs. Gu.When Mrs. Gu came back on Saturday, she asked Manlu for her opinion that night. Manlu didn't care, and the other three juniors naturally didn't care either.In the end, Mrs. Gu agreed to keep Zhang's mother. Anyway, she just opened her mouth. Zhang's mother is very straightforward in her life and work.Finally, I talked about arranging Zhang's mother in that room.Because Mrs. Gu gave up her bedroom for Zhang's mother to live in temporarily, and Zhang's mother wanted to live longer, so naturally Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu could not share a room, but gave Zhang's mother a room.In the end, it was decided to turn the unused study downstairs into Zhang's mother's bedroom.

Mrs. Gu made a decision, so after dinner that day, instead of going upstairs to make a connection as before, she helped Zhang's mother to sit on the sofa and had a deep talk with Zhang's mother.At this time, the younger generations of the Gu family all went upstairs to study their homework, and Mrs. Gu cleaned up in the kitchen.

The old lady Gu didn't beat around the bush, and directly asked Zhang's mother how she was doing, and what her plans were.Zhang's mother was also very refreshing at this time, so she said it directly.It is said that Yujin's two or three years will be the same as these two months, a month is only a day and a half, and she feels uncomfortable living in Shanghai alone.If it is convenient for the Gu family, she will continue to live in the Gu family, and she will go back after Yujin finishes her two years of work.

As soon as Mrs. Gu heard it, she talked about the room.Zhang's mother then said that she could live in the servant's room at the back of the small building.In fact, she has long taken a fancy to the unused study room on the first floor, but of course she can't let her say it. She thinks that if the Gu family really wants to keep her, they won't really arrange a servant's room for her. .

In this way, Zhang's mother stayed, and that was the problem of tidying up the room.You have to find out where to buy beds and wardrobes.Mrs. Gu was sent by Mrs. Gu to Chen's house to ask Mrs. Chen where to order beds and wardrobes.When Mrs. Chen heard this, she laughed.It wasn't surprising that the distant relative of the Gu family wanted to stay for a long time. She had expected that Zhang's mother would stay in the Gu family for a long time.Hearing Mrs. Gu's talk about buying a bed and a wardrobe, she said that she didn't have enough study rooms at home, but she had more bedrooms, and her family was planning to remove the furniture from one bedroom and turn it into a study room.Both the new bookcase and the new desk have been ordered, but they are not finished yet.If you buy furniture, do you need the furniture in your own home or not.If she wants, she will ask someone to move here directly.

Mrs. Gu replied directly that she was still using someone else's old furniture, there was no reason to have old ones, and Zhang's mother wanted the Gu family to buy new ones for her.If it was him, of course he wouldn't do this, and Zhang's mother shouldn't have any objections.Seeing that Mrs. Gu agreed, Mrs. Chen asked Mrs. Gu to go back first.She first asked people to go to Gu's family to vacate the study, and then moved the furniture from here.Mrs. Gu didn't expect this matter to be resolved so quickly, so she went back with a happy face.

After Zhang's mother moved to the study, she was relieved.The furniture in this room is all Western goods, similar in style and color to Mrs. Gu's room, only a size smaller.But even so, it was much bigger and more comfortable than the room Yujin rented for her in Shanghai.She has been staying for a week, and Zhang Yujin only found out when she came over.He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Zhang's mother lived here, so he could work with more peace of mind.He was still looking for a helper before, but he couldn't find a suitable one, and now he is free.Zhang Yujin was still the same as before, staying for half a day, this time he didn't go back to the hospital, but to the rental house.Weimin went back with him and packed his luggage.He intends to surrender the apartment.

When Mother Zhang's feet recovered, she took over a lot of work from Mrs. Gu.Now she is mostly preparing meals, while Mrs. Gu cleans the building.Because of this, she never went up to the second floor, she always felt that she shouldn't go up, and finally followed her intuition, she only moved on the first floor.

At three o'clock that afternoon, all the younger generations of the Gu family went to school, and Mother Zhang and Mrs. Gu were picking leeks in the living room.The phone rang, and Mrs. Gu answered it. She heard it was a store that made headgear.She directly told Weimin that he was not there, and asked the other party to leave a phone number, and when he came back, she would let him reply, then hung up the phone, and it took less than half a minute.Zhang's mother rarely saw Mrs. Gu being so straightforward. She didn't know that every time Mrs. Gu received a call from the merchant, she would always reply, just like a robot, with the same word for word and the same tone.Mrs. Gu put down the phone and took the note she just wrote to the second floor.

Mrs. Gu came down after a while, and Zhang's mother asked casually, who is it?Mrs. Gu simply said "Wei Min's friend" and dismissed Zhang's mother, and continued with the work in hand.

Around 04:30 Weimin and Jiemin came back together.Zhang's mother heard that Mrs. Gu just said softly to Weimin, "I have your call at noon." Weimin replied, "Got it." He went upstairs directly.Jiemin, on the other hand, drank a bottle of warm water as before, and then went out to water and clean the courtyard.In less than a quarter of an hour, Weimin came down from the second floor and went out to clean the courtyard with Jiemin.

At the dinner table, Zhang's mother couldn't see any difference between Weimin and the past, she ate slowly and elegantly.It took a long time for Zhang's mother to realize that Gu's family was silent when they were eating.Everyone ate in silence.The whole evening was no different.

In the evening of the second day, Weimin and Jiemin returned from school as usual.But this time the two brothers were not in a hurry to go out to clean the courtyard, but after putting the bookbags on the second floor, they sat on the sofa in the lobby and talked foreign languages.Half a quarter of an hour later, the doorbell of Gu's house rang. Seeing that Weimin pressed the button to open the door, Zhang's mother took a big step outside, and Jiemin followed behind him.She first said to Mrs. Gu in the kitchen, "Someone has arrived, I'll go and have a look." Then she wanted to follow Jiemin out.But Mrs. Gu in the kitchen replied, "You don't need to look at it, you are Weimin's friend." Seeing this, Zhang's mother had no choice but to stop her strides, and changed her way to the kitchen.

Approaching Mrs. Gu, Zhang's mother asked, "Who is it?"

"Friends of Weimin, if you don't come in, you'll leave soon." Mrs. Gu replied, and disappeared again.

Outside the building, Weimin and Jiemin, the other party took it from the store worker and handed over two large bags of materials for making headgear.After the store workers delivered the goods, they drove away. Weimin and Jiemin put the materials for making headwear directly into Manlu's workshop.Then the two brothers started working in the courtyard.

Sitting at the dining table again, Zhang's mother looked at everyone in the Gu family, but there was still no difference. Who is that here tonight?She wanted to find out.

In the next few days, there was nothing unusual, Weimin and Jiemin went to school with the Chen brothers as usual, and reviewed their homework together after dinner.
