Man Lu

After Manzhen and Manlu came back this Saturday, they took more than a month's leave, equivalent to staying at home for the entire month of April.The whole family of the Gu family was dispatched to make those ornaments, even Zhang's mother was no exception.Except for Man Lu who does sewing, everyone else does cutting in the early stage and packing in the later stage.The cutting work is to cut the fabric into the desired shape of Manlu.The cutting work is in the lobby on the first floor, and Manlu's sewing work is in her own workshop, which is the worker's room behind the western-style building.Manlu processed [-] headbands, [-] headbands, [-] corsages, and [-] belts.Give the whole number to the shopkeeper, except for the processing fee of [-] cents for the first circle, the rest is one yuan each, and this batch of goods will bring in [-] yuan.The money is directly transferred into gold bars and given to Manzhen for safekeeping.And the odds and ends of the items that were specially made were made into eight sets of four pieces.Keep six sets of Manzhen for use, and give Mrs. Gu two sets, and let her find a chance to give to Mrs. Chen.

Completion is already April 29.Zhang's mother feels that this month can only be said to be tired, really tired.The Gu family did not arrange for her to do tailoring work before.But seeing that the Gu family, young and old, were all busy, she naturally joined in.It is equivalent to Zhang's mother having spent almost two and a half months of comfortable life in Gu's house, and then rushing to work day and night for 31 days.When she heard Mrs. Gu say, it's ok, no more cutting.She thought it was the sound of nature.She always thought she was going to finish cutting the fabric.There is still one-tenth of it removed. If it is really finished, it will take at least three days of work.

Manzhen and Manlu rested at home for a day before going back to school.This month's work, only the two of them asked for leave from school, Weimin and Jiemin went to school as usual, but helped for two hours at night before going to study.None of the Chen brothers can come over to study together this week.For this reason, the Chen brothers heard that the work of the Gu family was over, and they were happier than the Gu family brothers, that it was finally completed.Among them, Mrs. Chen offered to lend Ah Ying and Mrs. Wu to the Gu family, but Man Lu refused.She can do this job by herself, but she just wants to get all the Gu family involved.If you want the Gu family to be more and more unified, you can only get them together through labor like this.After this month, Zhang's mother integrated into the Gu family a little bit.

On May [-]th, Mrs. Gu smiled and handed Mrs. Zhang a bulging yellow leather envelope.Mother Zhang was puzzled, but she didn't answer.He just frowned and asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

"Salary, two hundred yuan."

"What? Salary?" Zhang's mother was startled.

"My mother asked me to give you the salary for the cutting work last month. You must take it, otherwise the old lady will be angry."

"How can I do that?" Zhang's mother was angry.After confirming that she lived here, she discussed with Yujin that she would pay the Gu family 20 yuan a month for accommodation, food, and food. Unexpectedly, the old lady Gu became angry and said bluntly that the mother and son of the Zhang family wanted to pay, so they should not be here. Living.Only then did they stop paying for it.Every time Yujin came to see her, she brought a lot of fruits.She herself helps with household chores.Otherwise, I'm really sorry.

Mrs. Gu said happily, "You can take the money, and you can take it. This is what the old lady meant. Wait a minute, the old lady is going to be angry again. Don't worry, you don't get much money. But don't Outsiders say it’s fine. That’s why no workers are hired to do it.”

"Mom Weimin, I really can't accept it. If I really want to accept it, then I can only move out."

"Mother Yujin, don't do this. If you don't accept me, then I won't dare to let you work."

"How can you do this?"

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "I can't help it, I have to listen to the old lady." Seeing that Zhang's mother was still pushing, she said, "Accept it." The two persuaded back and forth.

Seeing this, Zhang's mother finally let go of her frowning, and took the bulging yellow leather envelope.This is all her income in Lu'an for one year, and it would be false to say that she is not moved.Seeing Mrs. Gu like this must be the intention of the Gu family, so thank them, she said to herself.

Mother Zhang picked up the bulging yellow leather envelope and went back to the room, still a little dizzy, I couldn't believe it.She poured the money out of the envelope and counted it carefully. It was really two hundred yuan.She put it away carefully, and just went to bed to rest, but she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep on the bed.

She has lived in Gu's house for three and a half months. During this time, her living area has been only on the first floor and the courtyard, and she has never stepped into the second floor.She has always stayed on the second floor because of Mrs. Gu, she is very curious about the second floor, and now her curiosity has not weakened at all.It's just that I haven't had the chance to go up to the second floor until now, to see what makes Mrs. Gu always stay on the second floor.

In addition to being curious about Mrs. Gu, there is also Man Lu, who she can't see through, or more precisely, she can't see through the Gu family, but Man Lu is superior.Man Lu has no smell of dust at all, she has some doubts, whether the previous news is wrong.The Gu family can support it, because it should be the jobs of last month, that's too much money, she thought.

When Manzhen and Manlu returned to school this time, the classmates in the class talked about them behind their backs.I was very curious about them asking for a month's leave. Many people thought that they were like other classmates, no longer going to school but getting married or going abroad.But no one in the class is familiar with the two sisters of the Gu family. These two sisters have been wandering outside the class and have never communicated with anyone in the class.As soon as the Gu family sisters came back, they ran into a quiz. As soon as the results came out, everyone stared blankly.Are there any mistakes? It's full marks again. If there is a bully here, these two sisters are the bullies.

They are students of the Chinese Department, and they take classes in the foreign department non-stop on weekdays, and the students in the class can't see through them.The teacher in the class saw that the two of them missed the homework of their major, and naturally did not interfere with the students' time and energy to broaden their knowledge and only admire them, and even supported them.

Their Chinese professors have seen with their own eyes that the two sisters speak English, French and Japanese fluently. The eldest sister Manlu is even better, and she can also speak German and Italian very well.They are excellent in all subjects of the Chinese course, and the requirements for them are even lower.

Manlu told Manzhen that with her current situation, she decided not to go to school after finishing her sophomore year. If she just waited for the graduation certificate, there was no point in taking classes here.Manzhen was very entangled, should she also take a leave of absence with Manlu? After three days of entanglement, she stopped being entangled. She will take a leave of absence with Manlu next fall.By next fall, there is still more than a year left, and I will learn more foreign languages ​​at school.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang's mother lived in the Gu family for more than a year and more than ten months.She received another bulging yellow leather envelope today, the third one she received since she moved into Gu's house, and it was still two hundred yuan.She lives in Gu's house, and because Yujin is busy, she only visits her once or twice a month, and each time only takes half a day.Man Lu is still not close to her, but every time she makes clothes for the Gu family, she will more or less make a few sets for her. In short, the Gu family is really kind to her.

Zhang's mother didn't understand Man Lu and Man Zhen's sudden suspension of school procedures.Last month, in October, the two sisters made accessories at home again.She thought this time was the same as the previous two times, she just asked for leave to work, but she didn't know that she would not go to school.It's really hard to understand. These two sisters have very good grades. I heard Mrs. Gu say that they are excellent in all subjects.These days, I also know that the two sisters are well-known writers, and their articles are often published in newspapers.The day before yesterday, she saw Mrs. Gu and was angry. After asking, she found out that Mrs. Gu said that the two sisters did not go to school.

Then she took a closer look at Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu didn't object. The Gu family was not short of their study money. This is really hard to understand.I will be graduating in one or two more years, why don't I stop studying?One can be justified without reading it, so why not read both?But the two sisters of the Gu family have always been very strange. They don't take the bus every week, and they ride back and forth by themselves every time. It's a journey of one or two hours.At the same time, the two of them get tanned every summer, and she feels distressed when she sees it. Seeing that Mrs. Gu is so precious to them on weekdays, why she doesn't care about this matter, I really can't figure it out
