Seeing her refusal, Gu Nan took her hand and said, "No, Sister Man, we're already here, and there's nothing good to eat at my house. Let's have some together."
She has a special liking for Shen Man, so she is very enthusiastic.
The others did the same, asking her to stay and eat.
This enthusiasm left Shen Man at a loss as to what to do, and finally he bit the bullet and stayed.
She really couldn't stand this kind of enthusiasm, but she could feel everyone's kindness.
In the evening, the Gu family ate shredded beans, stewed with dried potatoes, which were all dried vegetables in the autumn.
There will be no vegetables after autumn in the Northeast, so every household stocks dried vegetables and sauerkraut, which can be eaten for a long time.
There was a bowl full of stew and a bowl of large pancakes. It seemed that the Gu family had a big appetite.
During the meal, Gu Yuan also brought his children over. After seeing Shen Man, everyone introduced him.
Gu Yuan didn't ask much. He never cared about family affairs. He only immersed himself in his work and rarely spoke.
This is also the reason why Li Mei chose him, so that when the two of them get married, they will be the masters of the family, and the man will not care about her.
The food is very fragrant and the vegetables are stewed in lard, which is very delicious.
Although the big pancakes are a bit loud, Shen Man is already used to eating them. As long as he thinks about the sweetness of the corn, it actually tastes quite appetizing.
After dinner, she took the initiative to help clear the table, came to someone's house to eat and drink for free, and she was not allowed to help with the work?
What's more, she's not a guest, so she can't just sit there and watch.
Li Mei stared at her for a long time. When she finally sat down, she asked: "Xiaoman, do you have a partner?"
Shen Man was stunned when he heard this. Seeing her curious look, he replied: "I don't have a partner, what's wrong?"
She was thinking to herself, could it be that she was introducing someone to herself? She might as well forget it.
It's hard to fill her stomach these days, and it's troublesome for her to go to a large and chaotic family and deal with her sisters-in-law and relatives.
When she heard that she didn't have a partner, Li Mei's eyes lit up and she looked at her enthusiastically, "My brother-in-law doesn't have a partner either. He works in the forest farm in the town and earns eighteen and a half yuan a month. What do you think when you meet him? Like?"
This series of words overwhelmed Shen Man. Was he talking about Gu Chen?
Thinking of that tough guy image, she blinked and didn't know how to answer.
Li Jinhua next to her was a little worried, after all, the second child's marriage had become a big problem.
The girl who went on a blind date last time didn't see her son, but she fell down when she got home, her head was bruised, and she stopped going on a blind date with her son.
When she thought of this, she looked at Shen Man. Although this girl was prettier, she worked very quickly and could endure hardships.
If we want to talk about why we are afraid of being beautiful, it is not because rural people are afraid of not being able to support their wives.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Man is here to have fun, what are you doing?" Gu Nan couldn't stand it anymore because she saw Shen Man's embarrassed look on her face.
What's more, the second brother is not worthy of Sister Man. In her heart, Sister Man is like a little fairy.
Gu Chen:???Sister?
Seeing what she said, Li Mei didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions, smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Man said goodbye. It was almost six o'clock and people had to go to bed.
"I'll give it to you, Sister Man!" Gu Nan offered to give it to her, putting on her cotton-padded jacket as she said it.
But Shen Man stopped her, "It's not that far in total. I can just go back by myself. Besides, we live next to each other. If I shout, who will come out and take a look?"
What she said was right. Gu Nan didn't insist anymore and walked her to the door and watched them leave.
Shen Man walked out far away. Looking back, he saw the figure at the door of Gu's house was still there in the moonlight, and couldn't help but feel deeply in his heart.
She is really a good kid. She is really happy to have a friend like Gu Nan, and it's not like she came here in vain.
Not far from the collective household, Shen Man found a person standing at the gate. After seeing her, she continued to walk this way.
She pretended to be calm and held the electric shock baton she had prepared in her hand. This was used for self-defense in her previous life, but she didn't expect that she could still use it in this world.
After getting closer, Li Tianbao asked: "Shen Man, where did you go and come back so late?"
He looked up and down at the person in front of him, with only a vulgar look in his eyes.
Hearing this, Shen Man couldn't help but sneer, "Where have I gone? Do I need to report to you? Who are you?"
Li Tianbao frowned and said displeasedly: "Shen Man, it's your blessing that I like you. Don't be ungrateful. We are all alone here. I can help you with work. What's wrong with that?"
"You should rest now!" Shen Man responded unceremoniously: "You are the only one who still likes me? There are so many people who like me, who do you think they are?"
"Have you never looked in the mirror? You still want to find someone as beautiful, lovely, kind and generous as me. You can't even dream of finding someone like me!"
After saying that, she turned around and left.
As a result, Li Tianbao directly grabbed her arm.
Shen Man didn't talk nonsense to him, took out the electric shock stick with his other hand, and directly hit his hand.
"ah!"
After hearing a scream, Li Tianbao sat directly on the ground and looked at her in disbelief.
"Silly beep." Shen Man turned around and entered the hospital, then entered the house.
People in other rooms also heard the noise and came out to check but saw nothing.
Li Tianbao was embarrassed to enter the hospital now. He was startled just now and seemed to have been shocked. It was so strange.
What was she holding?
Now Li Tianbao didn't dare to act rashly anymore. He watched everyone else close the door and then cautiously returned to the room.
Shen Man locked the door, then took out some water from the space and boiled it.
Because it was difficult to fetch water in winter, she only fetched water once in the morning and filled two buckets of water with a large bucket in the space when no one was around.
I have to go fetch water often, but it's still very cold.
After today's encounter, Li Tianbao calmed down for several days and never caused trouble again.
It was Shen Man who didn't give him a chance, so he just stayed in the house for the past few days and didn't go anywhere.
I go out to the toilet every day, then fetch water and firewood once, and never go out again.
It was snowing lightly that day, and the team leader suddenly came to the collective household.
He called everyone to the main room and prepared to say something.
Shen Man sat next to her. She had never been to this room since these people isolated her. It's funny to think about it now. These people are so childish.
"Come here today and tell me that the New Year team will kill the New Year pig, and if you want to exchange for it, you can use your work points." Zhang Fenghai looked at them and continued: "The pig-killing dishes are the same as in previous years, one bowl per person, and we will line up to eat them. "
Because there are so many people, the team must kill more than one pig.
There are more than 100 households in the entire Shangjiang Brigade. One pig, with its internal organs, head and feet removed, weighs less than one pound, which is not enough for a family. Some families have more than ten people.
Zhang Fenghai added: "The fishing team from the commune will come the day after tomorrow, and the fish caught by then will be sold. If you want to buy, just go early and wait."
