Fortunate Wife

Li Man paused in plucking the leaves off . She was reminded of her former self . Back then, she hadn't dared to do any strenuous exercise . She was so envious of her classmates that could happily run around and play games on the playground . And Li Mo, who had heard Little Five studiously learning how to read and write, he probably felt a similar feeling of envy .

Almost instantly, Li Man agreed, "Sure . Little Five, we can all learn together tomorrow . But, it would be the best if we could have a sand tray . Since oldest brother is injured, it would be easier if we could place a sand tray on the bed . "

"What's a sand tray?" Little Five asked .

"It's just filling a tray with sand . Right now, we're writing on the ground . If there's sand tray, we can easily erase whatever we write . It's convenient and cheaper than using paper and ink . " Li Man knew that this family couldn't afford to buy paper to practice writing .

"That's easy . I know where to find sand . " Excited, Little Five put down the vegetable, jumped up, and ran out . When he got to the doorway, he turned his head and smiled at Li Man . "Older sister, leave this to me . "

"Walk slowly," Li Man quickly urged, "It's going to be dark soon . Don't go too far . "

"En . " Little Five dashed off like a wisp of smoke .

Right after Little Five ran off, Li Shu returned home . He parked the small cart underneath the eaves and excitedly handed a large paper bag to Li Man . "Wife, I brought back all the things you asked . Look . "

"Oh, alright, I'll take a look . " Li Man wiped her hands and opened the paper bag . Inside, there were several smaller paper packets . However, in addition to the medicine that she had requested, there were a wooden comb and a fragrant bar of soap .

"Wife, do you like it?" Seeing her staring at that bar of soap, Li Shu crouched down and smiled as he watched her .

Li Man felt a bit embarrassed . "Why did you buy this stuff? So wasteful . "

"Fourth brother brought this . He said you would like using it," said Li Shu .

Li Man blushed . "This must have been costly . "

"Here!" Li Shu took out the remaining money from his pocket and handed it to her . "Here's what's left . The shopkeeper for the fur store has a good relationship with oldest brother . He always offers us a slightly higher price than other shopkeepers . Also, this time's wolf fur wasn't damaged at all, so he paid us three silver taels . Fourth brother brought the medicine that you wanted . It's wrapped in those paper packets . It cost one silver tael . The comb and soap cost fifty coins, and I bought some buns for lunch, that costs thirty coins . Oh right, wife, I left the buns in the cart . "

After saying this, he quickly went out and brought back the steamed buns from the small cart . He handed them to Li Man . "Wife, I saved this for you . "

Just by smelling it, Li Man could tell that filling was grounded fatty meat . "Put this on top of the stove to warm them up . We can eat them for dinner . "

"Okay . " Li Shu agreed, put down the steamed buns, and added, "I'll go check on oldest brother . I'll come back to help you with dinner . "

"No need -" Before Li Man could refuse, he had already speedily left the kitchen . However, just as Li Man had wrapped up the large paper bag and put it away on a shelf in the cupboard, he had already come back . "Wife, are you done separating the leaves? I'll help you wash them . "
