Man Lu

After dismissing Mrs. Gu, Man Lu and Man Zhen went back to their room.Man Lu took out books to copy, while Manzhen looked for high school textbooks, and she had already planned to borrow textbooks and notes there.

Manzhen went out early in the morning, and Manlu's room still had a strange smell, so she opened the doors and windows, took the pen and paper, and went to the study to copy.

The old lady Gu was preparing lunch downstairs, and seeing that Manzhen hadn't come back, the two boys should have come back at this point, but they were nowhere to be seen.Man Lu stayed upstairs on the first floor, and the old lady only heard the sound of water flushing twice when she was downstairs.Mrs. Gu went upstairs slowly, she thought that Man Lu was in her room, so she looked directly at her room, the door was open, it was very empty, and there was no one there.She just looked around and saw her sitting on a desk near the window in her study.Looking at the back, he must be writing.She didn't make a sound, just stopped her pace and walked towards her slowly.Looking at the stack of book papers on Manzhen's left hand, there were words on the paper, but she couldn't see clearly, she just thought it was paper full of words.

Manlu knew that the old lady had gone upstairs, and she recognized the footsteps.After collecting more than half of the writing paper on the left hand side, she continued to write, but at a much slower pace.Then, when Mrs. Gu didn't interrupt her, she continued writing as if she didn't know.

Mrs. Gu has already walked behind Man Lu, and everything is clear on the table.Looking at Man Lu's writing speed, it is really like running water, very fast.Her eyes couldn't see the font clearly, but the black characters were filled in line by line, which really surprised her.

Before, they kept saying that they were copying books, but Man Lu had written almost a sheet of paper, and she didn't see her checking the sample book in front, which surprised Mrs. Gu a lot.No wonder Manzhen said that Manlu copied more than twice as many books as she did. She earned most of the 200 yuan she gave her before.She didn't refute at the time, but she didn't agree with it in her heart.Now, she believed it, thinking about what the sisters said in the morning, they were really ready, and college was really no problem for them.

Just like this, the old lady stood close for a quarter of an hour, just standing quietly behind her, and Man Lu kept writing except when changing the paper, when the pen stopped for a while.

Hearing the noise downstairs, he knew that the two boys had returned.Seeing Manlu stop to change the paper, Mrs. Gu stopped her when she was writing again.

Man Lu pretended to be frightened for a while, and then followed the old lady Gu's wishes to finish writing.Man Lu was collecting the papers on the table, while Mrs. Gu stepped forward to close the window. As she talked, she was afraid of the wind or sudden rainstorm...

Man Lu supported Old Madam Gu's shoulders as she went downstairs.Seeing the old lady's trembling steps, she said softly, "Grandma, if you have something to do, just call downstairs, I can hear you."

"Grandma, I know you can hear. You can't keep writing like today, with breaks in between. You have grandma, don't worry." Mrs. Gu saw that Manlu's fingers were red and swollen.She pasted the cardboard boxes by herself, and her whole body ached after being in the same pose for a long time, so Manlu must be like this.No, she stopped writing and kept turning her neck carefully.If it was in the past, she would definitely scold Manlu and act frivolously, think about the days before, and think about the present.She felt even more guilty, she would be nice to Man Lu, twice as nice, she secretly said to herself.

Downstairs restaurant and Mrs. Gu, the two youngest sons, Manzhen hasn't come back yet.The old lady Gu asked Weimin to take out a plate from the kitchen and leave food for Manzhen.

On the dining table, there is a plate of potato leaves, a plate of water spinach, and a plate of pork belly and long beans from last night.Except for the oily bean dish, the other two dishes were much duller.The Gu family of five ate quietly.The table manners of the Gu family got better because Mrs. Gu helped them and then slowly got better.Especially when Mrs. Gu fell ill a few times, Mrs. Gu went to do Mrs. Gu's work.There, breaking her brain for decades without any new things, she knows a lot about listening and watching, and now she has discussions with Mrs. Gu, and the education of her grandchildren has changed a lot.

After the meal, the two boys just sat for a while, then picked up their schoolbags and went to school.The current school is far away from home, and it takes nearly an hour and a half to go back and forth.Before, Mrs. Gu felt sorry for the two of them and asked them to bring food to save them from running back and forth.Weimin and Jiemin would rather come back for dinner than stay at school.The older students at school bullied them, and they knew it right now, so they didn't tell the two adults immediately.And Mrs. Gu received a lot of news at the master's house, knowing that there was chaos at this time, and now other places have already fought.It's better to be prepared than unprepared, and Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu let them run back and forth again, just to exercise them.

Man Lu went upstairs to write a manuscript, and she wrote the novel down, and when Manzhen was free, the two of them would slowly polish it.I still want to do something to increase income so that everyone can live a better life.At the same time, she and Manzhen didn't intend to go to a teacher-training university. They preferred Fudan University or a church university.They are also planning to send Weimin and Jiemin to teaching secondary schools.Missionary schools pay attention to foreign languages ​​and are advanced in all aspects.

If they all go to church schools, the annual tuition fee is a huge expense. The university costs nearly 250 yuan a year, and the middle school costs 80 yuan. The annual tuition fee for the four of them is nearly 22 yuan, not including board and lodging.The Gu family has lived in this area for nearly [-] years. Although the neighbors have little contact with each other, they still know a little bit about the financial situation of each family.In this case, they can no longer live in this small building.

Before, Man Lu ran out blindly, because she had plans to move.In the chaos of war, it is safe to know the terrain, and she wants to sweep the whole Shanghai into her head.Because the British Concession is more stable, but the house there, the two of them cannot afford the manuscript fee.Man Lu has been worried about this for a long time, and she has never found a suitable house.But with the intermediary, she left her intention to buy a house.If there is information, please explain where to put the information.To do this, of course she changed her makeup.
