Man Lu

Chapter 8

Manzhen didn't come back until almost dinner time, she had too many things, so she took a rickshaw.The old lady Gu, who was pasting cardboard boxes in the compound, saw the rickshaw, her eyelids twitched, and finally she held back and immediately preached to Manzhen.

The rickshaw master quickly turned around and ran away after taking a large bag of books.Manzhen took care of everything today.There is a set of old books for the second and third grades of high school, and even the books of the foreign language department and the Chinese department university.There is also a set of introductory English textbooks.

The four members of the Gu family brought their books to the study on the second floor, and the bowls were already set on the dining table.A plate of cucumber fried meat, a plate of potato leaves, and a plate of pumpkin.

"Today, the employer, Mrs. Zhang, gave each of us helpers half a catty of meat. Your grandma also left some for you to cook meat porridge tomorrow.

"Everyone sit down, Mrs. Gu said happily.

"Thank you grandma and mother." Weimin and Jiemin replied with a smile.Manzhen and Manlu replied after them.

The Gu family of six happily ate dinner.After the meal, Mrs. Gu cleared away the dishes quickly, and Weimin and Jiemin went upstairs to review their homework.

"Does Manzhen still want to buy books? If you don't have enough money, tell grandma. But in the future, you can't waste money. There are heavy things to lift. If you are not in a hurry, wait for Weimin to bring them back for you." To hire a rickshaw, at least three triangles are required. , It costs ten catties of rice, Mrs. Gu really cares about money.

"Okay, grandma. I have bought all the books I need, and today these are collected for me by my former classmates and teachers.

"

"Then you have to thank her well." Turning to Manlu, he said sharply, "Manlu, you can't read and write like today. If you want to do this, you will lose your health. Manzhen, look at Manlu."

"Okay, grandma."

"Oh"

"Then come to my room and get you two sets of clothes. Although they are old clothes, they have not been worn a few times, and the materials are all good." He stood up with his hands on the table as he spoke.Manzhen hurried forward to help her.Manzhen and Manlu helped Mrs. Gu back to the room by one arm.

The old lady Gu opened the closet, pointed to the clothes on the left, and said, "The ones here are suitable for you to wear. Take a look. If you like them, you can take them."

Manzhen obediently took two pieces immediately.The top is a cheongsam style, and the bottom skirt is a light blue and light blue skirt that reaches the ankle.The fabric and embroidery are much better than Manlu's before.Manzhen can move around and let Manlu step forward to choose.

"Grandma, I want to wear pants." Man Lu really didn't want to wear Minguo clothes.The cheongsam is worn for other people to see.The two sets of skirts picked by Manzhen looked like the old ladies, she felt that they were very cumbersome, and she really didn't want to wash them.Also, in the real Republic of China, the young women and girls here dress a little like those in movies and TV dramas. In short, she doesn't like the clothes of the Republic of China.

Mrs. Gu was ready to hear her granddaughter's rejection.But I didn't expect to hear Man Lu say that she knows how to wear pants.

"Grandma, then I'll pick another one, I just love this kind of clothes." Manzhen smiled when she heard Manlu's refusal, and at the same time stepped forward to make a selection.

The old lady sighed secretly, looked at Manzhen, then looked at Manlu and said, "Okay, I will prepare two pairs of trousers for you then." Mrs. Gu didn't wear trousers when she went out before, but after becoming a maid, It was so inconvenient to wear skirts, so they went to a second-hand clothing store and bought three pairs of black trousers to wear.Mrs. Gu put on Mrs. Gu's trousers when she took care of her wife for a few days at work.Because of this, Mrs. Gu can accept Manlu's request for pants at this time.

Manzhen picked a dark blue set from the closet, the style was similar to the previous two sets, but the color was much darker.After picking out, Manzhen smiled at the old lady Gu again: "I usually don't want to wear it. I wear clothes like milk when I go to school. But I choose the clothes first." Because of Manzhen's knowledge, the old lady Gu's expression changed. Take it easy.Then she turned off the lights and asked Manlu to help her get the raw materials for pasting boxes and follow them upstairs.

She was chattering, everyone went to the study room, while you were reading, she was pasting paper boxes, which would save a lot of electricity bills.In the end, all six members of the Gu family rushed into the study.The four members of the Gu family reviewed the books, and the two elderly people pasted paper boxes.For a period of time after the sisters of the Gu family left home, the lights in the study at home could not be turned on every day due to the electricity bill of the Gu family.

Man Lu first looked through the first grade Chinese in high school. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she moved closer and read one book after another.Manzhen was reading Manlu's novel, and was revising while reading it.A love story of about [-] words in the Republic of China, the story is not over yet.Manzhen herself was fascinated by it, and didn't pay attention to Manlu at all.The two old people couldn't be seen from behind, and the two young ones couldn't be distracted because of the elders around them, so they looked around randomly.

From six o'clock to ten o'clock in the evening, four minutes, everyone in the Gu family got up to go to the bathroom or drink water. Everyone got tired of watching and got up to take a rest.As for Manlu, once she sits, she will stay there.For this reason, she was nagged three times by Mrs. Gu.The way she dealt with Mrs. Gu's nagging was that as soon as the old lady nagged, she would stand up, move her hands, feet, hands, and neck.

Weimin and Jiemin looked at the two of them, and couldn't believe that his breasts had changed so much in just one day.His grandma has been saying bad things to Man Lu since she became a dancer, such caring words, it is really hard to describe the huge gap.

Seeing that Weimin and Jiemin finished their homework at eight o'clock, Manzhen announced that Weimin and Jiemin would study English with her for two hours in the future.Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu did not know how to be in the study room before, so they did not know that Manzhen could not speak English.At this time, it was only when she knew it before, and she knew it when she was in high school.Listening to the items in the study being said in English, and kept asking the two younger brothers to speak, the two of them also learned a little from the side.
